Welcome! This tutorial will help you create a game of rock paper scissors with the micro:bit. Let's get started!
~
To create a new script, go to the Create Code page and tap New Project under Touch Develop.
We want the micro:bit to choose rock, paper, or scissors when it is shaken. Let's begin by creating an on shake condition so the micro:bit will run code when it is shaken.
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
})
Next, create a variable and store pick random number from 0 to 2. On shake, a number will be randomly picked from 0-2. We will randomly display an image based on the random number returned.
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
let img = Math.random(3)
})
The micro:bit will look like it's showing 1 frame of the image by displaying the whole image when pick random is equal to 2. We can help the micro:bit randomly decide which image to use by pick random. The micro:bit will randomly pick the image to display with show LEDs and the pick random function.
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
let img = Math.random(3)
if (img == 2) {
basic.showLeds(`
# # # # #
# . . . #
# . . . #
# . . . #
# # # # #
`)
}
})
The micro:bit will look like it's showing 1 frame of the image by displaying the whole image when pick random is equal to 1. We can help the micro:bit randomly decide which image to use by pick random. The micro:bit will randomly pick the image to display with show LEDs and the pick random function.
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
let img = Math.random(3)
if (img == 2) {
basic.showLeds(`
# # # # #
# . . . #
# . . . #
# . . . #
# # # # #
`)
} else if (img == 1) {
basic.showLeds(`
. . . . .
. # # # .
. # # # .
. # # # .
. . . . .
`)
}
})
The micro:bit will look like it's showing 1 frame of the image by displaying the whole image when pick random is not equal to 2 and not equal to 1. We can help the micro:bit randomly decide which image to use by pick random. The micro:bit will randomly pick the image to display with show LEDs and the pick random function.
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
let img = Math.random(3)
if (img == 2) {
basic.showLeds(`
# # # # #
# . . . #
# . . . #
# . . . #
# # # # #
`)
} else if (img == 1) {
basic.showLeds(`
. . . . .
. # # # .
. # # # .
. # # # .
. . . . .
`)
} else {
basic.showLeds(`
. . . # #
# # . # .
. . # . .
# # . # .
. . . # #
`)
}
})
