flashing heart blocks challenges
Coding challenges for the flashing heart tutorial.
Before we get started
Complete the flashing heart activity and your code will look like this:
basic.forever(() => {
basic.showLeds(`
. # . # .
# # # # #
# # # # #
. # # # .
. . # . .
`)
basic.pause(500)
basic.clearScreen()
basic.pause(500)
})
Challenge 1
Let's plot a different image. Let's display a broken heart!
To do this, you need to add a block between the last line and the end loop. Add a show LEDs block and then add a pause of 500 milliseconds.
basic.forever(() => {
basic.showLeds(`
. # . # .
# # # # #
# # # # #
. # # # .
. . # . .
`)
basic.pause(500)
basic.clearScreen()
basic.pause(500)
basic.showLeds(`
. # . # .
# . # # #
# . . # #
. # # # .
. . # . .
`)
basic.pause(500)
})
- click run main to see if the code works as expected.
Challenge 2
Now let's alternate flashing the heart and the broken heart. To do this, we need to add a clear screen block and then add a pause block of 500 milliseconds under the new code we added in Challenge 1.
basic.forever(() => {
basic.showLeds(`
. # . # .
# . # # #
# . . # #
. # # # .
. . # . .
`)
basic.pause(500)
basic.clearScreen()
basic.pause(500)
basic.showLeds(`
. # . # .
# . # # #
# . . # #
. # # # .
. . # . .
`)
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.
