```sig
images.createImage(`

. . # . .
`)
```
### Example: rock, paper, scissors
The following example shows one of three images (rock, paper, or scissors) when you shake the micro:bit:
```
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
let rockpaper = images.createImage(`
. . . . . # # # # # . . . . #
. # # # . # . . . # # # . # .
. # # # . # . . . # . # # . .
. # # # . # . . . # # # . # .
. . . . . # # # # # . . . . #
`)
rockpaper.showFrame(Math.random(3))
})
