# What Animal Am I? ## Introduction @unplugged Create different animal effects with your @boardname@. ![Guess the what the animal is](/static/tutorials/what-animal-am-i/guess-animal.gif) ## Step 1 Open the ``||brick:Brick||`` Toolbox drawer. Drag out a ``||brick:show string||`` block from the **Screen** section onto the Workspace, and drop it into the ``||loops:on start||`` block. You should hear and see the block click into place. ```blocks brick.showString("Hello world", 1) ``` ## Step 2 In the ``||brick:show string||`` block, type the text ``"Guess the animal"`` to replace ``"Hello world"``. ```blocks brick.showString("Guess the animal", 1) ``` ## Step 3 Open the ``||brick:Brick||`` Toolbox drawer. From the **Buttons** section, drag out an ``||brick:on button||`` block anywhere onto the Workspace. ```blocks brick.buttonEnter.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {      }) brick.showString("Guess the animal", 1) ``` ## Step 4 In the ``||brick:on button||`` block, use the drop-down menu to select the ``left`` button. ![Dropdown with button choices](/static/tutorials/what-animal-am-i/on-button-dropdown.png) ```blocks brick.buttonLeft.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {      }) brick.showString("Guess the animal", 1) ``` ## Step 5 Open the ``||brick:Brick||`` Toolbox drawer. In the **Buttons** section, drag out **3** more ``||brick:on button||`` blocks. Using the drop-down menu, select the ``right``, ``up``, and ``down`` buttons for these 3 blocks. ```blocks brick.buttonLeft.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {      }) brick.buttonRight.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {      }) brick.buttonUp.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {      }) brick.buttonDown.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {      }) brick.showString("Guess the animal", 1) ``` ## Step 6 Open the ``||brick:Brick||`` Toolbox drawer. Drag out **4** ``||brick:show image||`` blocks onto the Workspace, and drop one of them into each of the ``||brick:on button||`` blocks. ```blocks brick.buttonLeft.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () { brick.showImage(images.expressionsBigSmile) }) brick.buttonRight.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () { brick.showImage(images.expressionsBigSmile) }) brick.buttonUp.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () { brick.showImage(images.expressionsBigSmile) }) brick.buttonDown.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () { brick.showImage(images.expressionsBigSmile) }) brick.showString("Guess the animal", 0) ``` ## Step 7 In the ``||brick:show image||`` blocks, use the drop-down menu to select a different image to show for each block. ![Dropdown with image selection](/static/tutorials/what-animal-am-i/show-image-dropdown.png) ```blocks brick.buttonLeft.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () { brick.showImage(images.expressionsMouth2shut) }) brick.buttonRight.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () { brick.showImage(images.expressionsMouth1open) }) brick.buttonUp.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () { brick.showImage(images.objectsBoom) }) brick.buttonDown.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () { brick.showImage(images.objectsPirate) }) brick.showString("Guess the animal", 0) ``` ## Step 8 Open the ``||music:Music||`` Toolbox drawer. Drag out **4** ``||music:play sound effect||`` block and drop one of them into each of the ``||brick:on button||`` blocks, just after the ``||brick:show image||`` block. ```blocks brick.buttonLeft.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () { brick.showImage(images.expressionsMouth2shut) music.playSoundEffect(sounds.animalsCatPurr) }) brick.buttonRight.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () { brick.showImage(images.expressionsMouth1open) music.playSoundEffect(sounds.animalsCatPurr) }) brick.buttonUp.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () { brick.showImage(images.objectsBoom) music.playSoundEffect(sounds.animalsCatPurr) }) brick.buttonDown.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () { brick.showImage(images.objectsPirate) music.playSoundEffect(sounds.animalsCatPurr) }) brick.showString("Guess the animal", 0) ``` ## Step 9 In each ``||music:play sound effect||`` block, use the drop-down menu to select a different animal sound to play. ![Dropdown with sound effect selection](/static/tutorials/what-animal-am-i/play-sound-effect-dropdown.png) ```blocks brick.buttonLeft.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () { brick.showImage(images.expressionsMouth2shut) music.playSoundEffect(sounds.animalsCatPurr) }) brick.buttonRight.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () { brick.showImage(images.expressionsMouth1open) music.playSoundEffect(sounds.animalsDogBark1) }) brick.buttonUp.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () { brick.showImage(images.objectsBoom) music.playSoundEffect(sounds.animalsElephantCall) }) brick.buttonDown.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () { brick.showImage(images.objectsPirate) music.playSoundEffect(sounds.animalsSnakeHiss) }) brick.showString("Guess the animal", 0) ``` ## Step 10 Now, plug your EV3 Brick into the computer with the USB cable, and click the **Download** button at the bottom of your screen. Follow the directions to save your program to the brick. Test your program with a friend by pressing the right, left, up, and down buttons on your brick. Have your friend guess what animal it is!
