You can use the `basic->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.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
basic.showAnimation(`
|
|
# # # # # # # # # # . . . . . . . . . .
|
|
# # # # # # # # # # . . . . . . . . . .
|
|
. . . . . # # # # # # # # # # . . . . .
|
|
. . . . . # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
|
|
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . # # # # #
|
|
`, 400) // ***
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
We add another line of code that registers an **event handler** on the `input->on button pressed(A)` and calls `basic->clear screen`.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
basic.showAnimation(`
|
|
# # # # # # # # # # . . . . . . . . . .
|
|
# # # # # # # # # # . . . . . . . . . .
|
|
. . . . . # # # # # # # # # # . . . . .
|
|
. . . . . # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
|
|
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . # # # # #
|
|
`, 400)
|
|
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
|
basic.clearScreen() // ***
|
|
}) // ***
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run the script in the simulator or on the @boardname@ to see how this works!
