Coding with ptthon

LI:

To see and understand the connection between the written code, the block code and the flow chart.

This is the comparison between the Python coding, the blocks and the flowchart for making the Microbit act like a dice

Flow Charts and Radio Chat

0  Learning Intentions

To understand how flowcharts relate to coding blocks.

To understand how to get the microbit to talk to another microbit using radio signals.

Here is my flowchart practice document.

The next activity today was coding the microbit to send a radio signal to another microbit. We had to make sure that both microbits were on the same group number so we didn't accidentally get a message from another group.

This first one shows the Python coding for a flashing heart. It flashes between a small heart icon and a large heart icon. The main thing to notice between the Python coding and the blocks is that the forever loop is at the top and bottom of the content in both.

For this example for coding the buttons, the main thing to notice is the "def" which is defining what the on_button_pressed will make the microbit do. Again this has a top and bottom so the content has to go inside it.

1. When I shake the microbit, it will choose a random number between 1 and 3
2. I have to make a variable called hand and set this to the random number
3. If the number is 1 - the microbit will show the symbol for paper
4. If the number is 2 - the microbit will show the symbol for rock 
5. If the number is 3 - the microbit will show the symbol for scissors
