# snowflake fall quiz answers

create a snowflake fall animation.

This is the answer key for the [snowflake fall quiz](/microbit/lessons/snowflake-fall/quiz).

## 1. In reference to an animation, what is an "interval"?

The number of milliseconds to pause after each image frame.

## 2. What is the interval of the animation?

```
basic.showAnimation(`
. . . . .
. . # . .
. # # # .
. . # . .
. . . . .
`, 400)
```

## 3. Write the code to allow this animation to never stop displaying on the BBC micro:bit

```
basic.forever(() => {
    basic.showAnimation(`
. . . . .
. . # . .
. # # # .
. . # . .
. . . . .
`, 400)
})
```

## 4. Write the code to create a forever loop that shows an animation of these images. Change the interval from 400 to 800 to make the animation go twice as slow!

`, 800)
})
