truth or dare challenges

a multi-player game that forces each player to reveal a secret or something funny. #docs

Before we get started

Complete the following guided tutorial:

• tutorial

At the end of the tutorial, click keep editing. Your code should look like this:

basic.plotImage(`
. . # . .
. # # # .
# # # # #
. . # . .
. . # . .
`)
input.onButtonPressed("A", () => {
    let random = Math.random(2)
    if (random == 0) {
        basic.showString("TRUTH", 150)
    } else {
        basic.showString("DARE", 150)
    }
    basic.plotImage(`
. . # . .
. # # # .
# # # # #
. . # . .
. . # . .
`)
})

Challenge 1

Let's make the word "DARE" appear a little more often than "TRUTH". Change the line of code with math->random(2) to math->random(3).

basic.plotImage(`
. . # . .
. # # # .
# # # # #
. . # . .
. . # . .
`)
input.onButtonPressed("A", () => {
    let random1 = Math.random(3) // ***
    if (random1 == 0) {
        basic.showString("TRUTH", 150)
    } else {
        basic.showString("DARE", 150)
    }
    basic.plotImage(`
. . # . .
. # # # .
# # # # #
. . # . .
. . # . .
`)
})

Challenge 2

Instead of just saying "TRUTH" or "DARE", let's sometimes say "SKIP". This would allow the skipped person to spin the BBC micro:bit without completing a truth or dare. Modify the if statement as shown.

basic.plotImage(`
. . # . .
. # # # .
# # # # #
. . # . .
. . # . .
`)
input.onButtonPressed("A", () => {
    let random2 = Math.random(3)
    if (random2 == 0) {
        basic.showString("TRUTH", 150) // ***
    } else if (random2 == 1) {
        basic.showString("DARE", 150) // ***
    }
    else {
        basic.showString("SKIP", 150) // ***
    }
    basic.plotImage(`
. . # . .
. # # # .
# # # # #
. . # . .
. . # . .
`)
})

• Run your code to see if it works as expected

Challenge 3

Add some other messages, such as "TWO DARES" for the BBC micro:bit to show. You will need to modify the parameter inside math->random(3) as well as adding another if condition.
