Here are some challenges for you. Arrange the blocks in the editor
|
|
to make real programs that work!

Use the **Basic** drawer in the editor
|
|
to drag out and arrange three blocks to create this program:
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
basic.forever(() => {
|
|
basic.showLeds(`
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
. # . # .
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
# . . . #
|
|
. # # # .
|
|
`)
|
|
basic.showLeds(`
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
`)
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When this program runs, you will see a smiley face, then a blank
|
|
screen, then a smiley again -- it never stops! (That's because of the
|
|
``forever`` block.)
|
|

Click **Download** to move your program to the BBC micro:bit!

|
Make sure to follow the instructions.
