# Getting started
## ~avatar
Are you ready to build cool BBC micro:bit programs?
Here are some challenges for you. Arrange the blocks in the editor
to make real programs that work!
## ~
Use the **Basic** drawer in the editor (to the left)
to drag out and arrange three blocks (two `show leds` and one `forever` block)
to create this program:
```blocks
basic.forever(() => {
basic.showLeds(`
. . . . .
. # . # .
. . . . .
# . . . #
. # # # .
`)
basic.showLeds(`
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . . . .
`)
});
```
When this program runs, you will see a smiley face, then a blank
screen, then a smiley again -- it never stops! (That's because of the
``forever`` block.)
Click **Compile** to move your program to the BBC micro:bit!
Make sure to follow the instructions.
