# magic 8 activity
|
|
|
|
Welcome! This activity will help you create a magic 8 ball on the @boardname@. Let's get started!
|
|
|
|
Show a string to instruct the user how to play Magic 8! The magic 8 ball can only answer true or false questions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
basic.showString("ASK A QUESTION")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Display the number 8.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
basic.showString("ASK A QUESTION")
|
|
basic.showNumber(8)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create a condition for when the @boardname@ is shaken. Then use the block `clear screen` to clear the 8 from the display.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
basic.showString("ASK A QUESTION")
|
|
basic.showNumber(8)
|
|
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
|
basic.clearScreen()
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create a variable of type number called **randomNumber**. Set **randomNumber** to a random number with a limit of 2. Remember the random function in the math library, picks a random number from 0 to the limit, but not including the limit unless it is 0.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
basic.showString("ASK A QUESTION")
|
|
basic.showNumber(8)
|
|
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
|
basic.clearScreen()
|
|
let randomNumber = Math.random(3)
|
|
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create an if statement for the condition `if randomNumber = 2`. If **randomNumber** is 2, display the string 'Yes'
|
|
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
basic.showString("ASK A QUESTION")
|
|
basic.showNumber(8)
|
|
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
|
basic.clearScreen();
|
|
let randomNumber = Math.random(3);
|
|
if (randomNumber == 2) {
|
|
basic.showString("YES");
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create an if statement for the condition `if randomNumber = 1`. If randomNumber is 1, display the string 'No'
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
basic.showString("ASK A QUESTION")
|
|
basic.showNumber(8)
|
|
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
|
basic.clearScreen()
|
|
let randomNumber = Math.random(3)
|
|
if (randomNumber == 2) {
|
|
basic.showString("YES")
|
|
} else if (randomNumber == 1) {
|
|
basic.showString("NO")
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If **randomNumber** is not 2 or 1, it must be 0. This is the else condition. If **randomNumber** is 0, display the string 'I don't know'
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
basic.showString("ASK A QUESTION")
|
|
basic.showNumber(8)
|
|
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
|
basic.clearScreen()
|
|
let randomNumber = Math.random(3)
|
|
if (randomNumber == 2) {
|
|
basic.showString("YES")
|
|
} else if (randomNumber == 1) {
|
|
basic.showString("NO")
|
|
} else {
|
|
basic.showString("I DON'T KNOW")
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Display the number 8 so users know they can ask the magic 8 ball another question!
|
|
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
basic.showString("ASK A QUESTION")
|
|
basic.showNumber(8)
|
|
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
|
basic.clearScreen()
|
|
let randomNumber = Math.random(3)
|
|
if (randomNumber == 2) {
|
|
basic.showString("YES")
|
|
} else if (randomNumber == 1) {
|
|
basic.showString("NO")
|
|
} else {
|
|
basic.showString("I DON'T KNOW")
|
|
}
|
|
basic.showNumber(8)
|
|
|
|
})
|
|
```
