Use the LEDs to display a flashing heart.
## Step 1
Use [show leds](/reference/basic/showLeds) and make your code look like this:
```blocks
basic.showLeds(`
. # . # .
# # # # #
# # # # #
. # # # .
. . # . .`);
```
## Step 2
Add a [pause](/reference/basic/pause) to wait and [clear screen](/reference/basic/clearScreen) to turn off the LEDs.
```blocks
basic.showLeds(`
. # . # .
# # # # #
# # # # #
. # # # .
. . # . .`);
basic.pause(500);
basic.clearScreen();
```
## Step 3
Put a [forever loop](/reference/basic/forever) around it.
```blocks
basic.forever(() => {
basic.showLeds(`
. # . # .
# # # # #
# # # # #
. # # # .
. . # . .`);
basic.pause(500);
basic.clearScreen();
})
```
## Step 4
Add a [pause](/reference/basic/pause) to wait after clearing the screen.
```blocks
basic.forever(() => {
basic.showLeds(`
. # . # .
# # # # #
# # # # #
. # # # .
. . # . .`);
basic.pause(500);
basic.clearScreen();
basic.pause(500);
})
```
## Step 5
Add a second image of a broken heart.
```blocks
basic.forever(() => {
basic.showLeds(`
. # . # .
# # # # #
# # # # #
. # # # .
. . # . .`);
basic.pause(500);
basic.clearScreen();
basic.pause(500);
basic.showLeds(`
. # . # .
# . # # #
# . . . #
. # # # .
. . # . .`);
basic.pause(500);
basic.clearScreen();
basic.pause(500);
})
```
