## Prior learning/place of lesson in scheme of work
|
|
|
|
Learn how to get the **acceleration**, `acceleration` in one of three specified dimensions. We will be learning how to get the acceleration using a forever loop, local variables, input on button pressed, as well as simple commands, such as show number and pause.

|
|
## Documentation
|
|
|
|
```cards
|
|
basic.forever(() => {
|
|
})
|
|
let x = 0
|
|
input.acceleration(Dimension.X)
|
|
if (true) {
|
|
}
|
|
input.buttonIsPressed(Button.A)
|
|
basic.showNumber(0)
|
|
```
|
|
