# Getting started
|
|
|
|
## Step 1
|
|
|
|
Welcome! Place the ``||basic:show string||`` block in the ``||basic:on start||`` slot. Replace the ``"Hello"`` text with your name. Did you see it scroll in the simulator?
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
basic.showString("Micro!")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Step 2
|
|
|
|
Well, the text stopped scrolling. Place the ``||basic:show string||`` block in the ``||input:on button pressed||`` slot to scroll your name when button **A** is pressed.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
|
basic.showString("Micro!")
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Step 3
|
|
|
|
Place some blocks to display a smiley when button **B** is pressed.
|
|
|
|
Use the dropdown to find ``B``!
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
input.onButtonPressed(Button.B, () => {
|
|
basic.showLeds(`
|
|
# # . # #
|
|
# # . # #
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
# . . . #
|
|
. # # # .
|
|
`)
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Step 4
|
|
|
|
Place the ``||basic:show number||`` and ``||Math:pick random||`` blocks in an ``||input:on shake||`` block to build a dice.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
|
basic.showNumber(Math.randomRange(0, 10))
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Step 5
|
|
|
|
A typical dice shows values from `1` to `6`. So, in ``||Math:pick random||``, don't forget to choose the right minimum and maximum values!
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
|
basic.showNumber(Math.randomRange(1, 6))
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Step 6
|
|
|
|
If you have a @boardname@, connect a USB cable to it and click ``|Download|``. Save the program to the **@drivename@** drive. This transfers your code to the @boardname@!
|
|
|
|
## Step 7
|
|
|
|
On the @boardname@, press button **A** to scroll your text. Press button **B** to show a smiley. Shake the @boardname@ and see which number is chosen.
|
|
|
|
## Step 8
|
|
|
|
Well done! You've completed your first Microsoft MakeCode activity.
