# Make a custom animation
|
||
|
||
## Introduction @unplugged
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
```block
|
||
brick.showString("Hello world", 1)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Step 2
|
||
|
||
In the ``||brick:show string||`` block, type the text ``"Press my button"`` to replace ``"Hello world"``.
|
||
|
||
```blocks
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
```blocks
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
```blocks
|
||
brick.buttonEnter.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {
|
||
brick.showImage(images.expressionsBigSmile)
|
||
})
|
||
brick.showString("Press my button!", 1)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Step 5
|
||
|
||
Try out your code in the EV3 simulator!
|
||
|
||
Press the ``Enter`` button and check that the image shows up as you expected.
|
||
|
||
## Step 6
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
```blocks
|
||
brick.buttonEnter.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {
|
||
brick.showImage(images.expressionsBigSmile)
|
||
brick.setStatusLight(StatusLight.Orange)
|
||
})
|
||
brick.showString("Press my button!", 1)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Step 7
|
||
|
||
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.
