Help Karel make LED art!

**Karel the LED** can't turn right, but he can make some great LED art!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The goal of this activity is to download the JavaScript code given below onto a board,
|
|
then USE the program to introduce new students to the @boardname@.
|
|
Students will not do the coding this time. They will be users to get familiar with the board.
|
|
|
|
## How to play
|
|
|
|
* ``A button`` **Turn Left**
|
|
Does not draw anything just changes the direction Karel (the flashing led) is facing
|
|
* ``B button`` **Move Forward**
|
|
Moves Karel forward one step and leaves the LED on behind him
|
|
* ``shake`` **Jump**
|
|
Moves Karel forward one step without leaving the LED on behind him
|
|
* ``A+B button`` **Hide Karel**
|
|
Shows or hides Karel (the flashing LED), to be used once your artwork is complete
|
|
* ``Reset button`` **Clear the board and restart**
|
|
Restart the program and clear the board
|
|
|
|
Note, that there is no way to erase, other than restarting.
|
|

|
|
|
|
See if you can make each pattern below using A, B, and shake. Once you have completed a challenge press A and B at the same time to hide Karel.
|
|
For patterns that you design decide which LEDs you want to turn on and then make that design with Karel.
