Dice
Introduction @unplugged
Let's turn the @boardname@ into a dice! (Want to learn how the accelerometer works? Watch this video).
Step 1 @fullscreen
We need 3 pieces of code: one to detect a throw (shake), another to pick a random number, and then one to show the number.
Place the ||input:on shake|| block onto the editor workspace. It runs code when you shake the @boardname@.
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
})
Step 2 @fullscreen
Get a ||basic:show number|| block and place it inside the ||input:on shake|| block to display a number.
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
basic.showNumber(0)
})
Step 3 @fullscreen
Put a ||Math:pick random|| block in the ||basic:show number|| block to pick a random number.
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
basic.showNumber(Math.randomRange(0, 10))
})
Step 4 @fullscreen
A typical dice shows values from 1 to 6. So, in ||Math:pick random||, don't forget to choose the right minimum and maximum values!
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
basic.showNumber(Math.randomRange(1, 6))
})
Step 5
Use the simulator to try out your code. Does it show the number you expected?
Step 6
If you have a @boardname@ connected, click |Download| and transfer your code to the @boardname@!
