# Getting started
|
|
|
|
## Step 1
|
|
|
|
Welcome! Place the ``||basic:show string||`` block in the ``||basic:on start||`` slot. Replace the ``"Hello"`` text with your name. Did you see it scroll?
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
basic.showString("Micro!")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Step 2
|
|
|
|
Connect a USB cable to the @boardname@ and click ``|Download|``. Save the program to the **@drivename@** drive. This transfers your code to the @boardname@!
|
|
|
|
## Step 3
|
|
|
|
Well, the text stopped. Place the ``||basic:show string||`` block in the ``||input:on button pressed||`` slot to scroll your name when button **A** is pressed.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
|
basic.showString("Micro!")
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Step 4
|
|
|
|
Click ``|Download|`` to save and transfer your code again, then press button **A** to scroll your text.
|
|
|
|
## Step 5
|
|
|
|
Place some blocks to display a smiley when button **B** is pressed.
|
|
|
|
###
|
|
|
|
Use the dropdown to find ``B``!
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
input.onButtonPressed(Button.B, () => {
|
|
basic.showLeds(`
|
|
# # . # #
|
|
# # . # #
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
# . . . #
|
|
. # # # .
|
|
`)
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Step 6
|
|
|
|
Place the ``||basic:show number||`` and ``||Math:pick random||`` blocks in an ``||input:on shake||`` slot to build a dice. A typical dice can show values from 1 to 6, so don't forget to choose the right minimum and maximum values!
|
|
|
|
###
|
|
|
|
When the @boardname@ is shaken, a random number between ``1`` and ``6`` is displayed on the screen.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
|
basic.showNumber(Math.randomRange(1, 6))
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Step 7
|
|
|
|
Well done! You've completed your first Microsoft MakeCode activity.
