# flashing heart challenges

|
|
Coding challenges for flashing heart.
|
|
|
|
## Before we get started
|
|
|
|
Complete the [flashing heart](/microbit/lessons/flashing-heart/activity) activity and your code will look like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
basic.forever(() => {
|
|
basic.plotImage(`
|
|
. # . # .
|
|
# # # # #
|
|
# # # # #
|
|
. # # # .
|
|
. . # . .
|
|
`)
|
|
basic.pause(500)
|
|
basic.clearScreen()
|
|
basic.pause(500)
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Challenge 1
|
|
|
|
### @video td/videos/flashing-heart-1
|
|
|
|
Let's plot a different image. Let's display a broken heart!
|
|
|
|
To do this, you need to **add a line** between the last line and the end loop. Plot the image of the broken heart and then add a pause of 500 milliseconds.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
basic.forever(() => {
|
|
basic.plotImage(`
|
|
# # . # #
|
|
# # # # #
|
|
# # # # #
|
|
. # # # .
|
|
. . # . .
|
|
`)
|
|
basic.pause(500)
|
|
basic.clearScreen()
|
|
basic.pause(500)
|
|
basic.plotImage(`
|
|
. # . # .
|
|
# . # # #
|
|
# . . # #
|
|
. # # # .
|
|
. . # . .
|
|
`) // ***
|
|
basic.pause(500) // ***
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* click `run main` to see if the code works as expected.
|
|
|
|
### Challenge 2
|
|
|
|
### @video td/videos/flashing-heart-2
|
|
|
|
Now let's alternate flashing the heart and the broken heart. To do this, we need to clear the screen and then add a pause of 500 milliseconds under the new code we added in Challenge 1.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
basic.forever(() => {
|
|
basic.plotImage(`
|
|
# # . # #
|
|
# # # # #
|
|
# # # # #
|
|
. # # # .
|
|
. . # . .
|
|
`)
|
|
basic.pause(500)
|
|
basic.clearScreen()
|
|
basic.pause(500)
|
|
basic.plotImage(`
|
|
. # . # .
|
|
# . # # #
|
|
# . . # #
|
|
. # # # .
|
|
. . # . .
|
|
`)
|
|
basic.pause(500)
|
|
basic.clearScreen() // ***
|
|
basic.pause(500) // ***
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* click `run main` to see if the code works as expected.
|
|
|
|
### Challenge 3
|
|
|
|
You now have a heart and broken heart flashing! Now plot a new image to alternate in with the heart and broken heart.
