You can use the clear screen` function to turn off all the LED on the screen. Let's illustrate this concept with a small script where the user has to press the button A to turn off the screen. Let's start by adding the code to show an animation.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
basic.showLeds(`
|
|
# # # # #
|
|
# # # # #
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
`)
|
|
basic.showLeds(`
|
|
# # # # #
|
|
# # # # #
|
|
# # # # #
|
|
# # # # #
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
`)
|
|
basic.showLeds(`
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
# # # # #
|
|
# # # # #
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
`)
|
|
basic.showLeds(`
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
# # # # #
|
|
# # # # #
|
|
`)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
We add another line of code that registers an *event handler* `on button pressed` *A* and calls `clear screen`.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
basic.showLeds(`
|
|
# # # # #
|
|
# # # # #
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
`)
|
|
basic.showLeds(`
|
|
# # # # #
|
|
# # # # #
|
|
# # # # #
|
|
# # # # #
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
`)
|
|
basic.showLeds(`
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
# # # # #
|
|
# # # # #
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
`)
|
|
basic.showLeds(`
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
# # # # #
|
|
# # # # #
|
|
`)
|
|
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
|
basic.clearScreen()
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
*Run* the script in the simulator or on the micro:bit to see how this works!
