Prior learning/place of lesson in scheme of work

Learn how to get the acceleration, acceleration in one of three specified dimensions. We will be learning how to get the acceleration using a forever loop, local variables, input on button pressed, as well as simple commands, such as show number and pause.

Documentation

basic.forever(() => {
})
let x = 0
input.acceleration(Dimension.X)
if (true) {
}
input.buttonIsPressed(Button.A)
basic.showNumber(0)
