Make a custom animation

Introduction @fullscreen

Create a custom animation for your @boardname@.

Step 1

Open the ||brick:Brick|| Toolbox drawer. Drag out a ||brick:show string|| block onto the Workspace, and drop it into the ||loops:on Start|| block. You should hear and see the block click into place.

brick.showString("Hello world", 1)

Step 2

In the ||brick:show string|| block, type the text "Press my button" to replace "Hello world".

brick.showString("Press my button!", 1)

Step 3

Open the ||brick:Brick|| Toolbox drawer. Drag out an ||brick:on button|| block onto anyplace in the Workspace.

brick.buttonEnter.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () { 
     
}) 
brick.showString("Press my button!", 1)

Step 4

Open the ||brick:Brick|| Toolbox drawer. Drag out a ||brick:show image|| block onto the Workspace, and drop it into the ||brick:on button|| block.

brick.buttonEnter.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () { 
    brick.showImage(images.expressionsBigSmile) 
}) 
brick.showString("Press my button!", 1)

Step 5

Open the ||brick:Brick|| Toolbox drawer. Drag out a ||brick:set status light|| block onto the Workspace, and drop it into the ||brick:on button|| block after the ||brick:show image|| block.

brick.buttonEnter.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () { 
    brick.showImage(images.expressionsBigSmile) 
    brick.setStatusLight(StatusLight.Orange) 
}) 
brick.showString("Press my button!", 1)
