Are you working by yourself or in a team?
-Myself
What materials will you need for your project?
-A Micro:bit, a computer, and an iPad
What is your plan to create in this project?
-I plan to make multiple different stuff with the Micro:bits
What unique qualities will your projects have?
Some will have sound, others will be complex games.
In this project, I programmed the Micro:bit to print my name. This code allows the Micro:bit to scroll my name.
In this project I programmed the Micro:bit to play a 5 second countdown, and play a small melody at the end, while LED's flash. It plays a C note for 1/4 of a beat in between seconds. The end plays a small tune, and the LED's flash a square. The C note is not perfectly on tune, but was the closest possible.
In this project I programmed the Micro:bit to roll a random dice number when shaken, the LED's light up with the face of the dice rolled. Anytime the Micro:bit is shaken, the LED's light up with either a one, two, three, four, five, or six. This could be useful when trying to choose something, but a real dice is still ideal. Depending on how hard or long you shake it, it may change its answer sometimes. So just be careful not to move it to much after you got your roll.
In this project I programmed the Micro:bit to light up with a rock, a paper, or a scissor, when ever shaken. When shaken, the program randomly chooses one of those three, rock being small 3x3 square, paper being boarder square, and scissors being a open scissor. I would just think about the one you want, and then shake it, because shaking it while doing the whole rock paper scissors routine could be weird and buggy, its a lot better if you think it, then shake it, just don't change your choice!
In this project I programmed the Micro:bit to add two numbers together. It sounds complicated but its pretty simple. The A button selects the first number, by pressing the a button until you find the number you want. Then start using the B button to find the second number. When you found both numbers you want, press A and B together to add them. This can only do two numbers, but if you want to change the operation, you can go in the code to change it, and then download that, as noted in the code.
In this project I programmed the Micro:bit to show a check or a X, to pretend to be a coin flip. You can guess check of X, and by pressing both A+B you can see what you get
In this project I programmed the Micro:bit as a Dodge Game. A small red light is visible at the bottom of the screen. This is can be controlled by using the A and B, A to move left, and B to move right. As you play, red lights will come down from the top of the screen. The objective is to dodge the other red lights, by controlling the bottom light. If you hit them, you explode, and you get the game over screen. Press A+B to reset
This is probably my most ambitious Micro:bit project yet. I programmed the Micro:bit to be a shooter game where you control a ship and your objective is to shoot the enemy ship and get a high score. Control the ship with A and B, A to move it left and B to move it right. Press A and B together to shoot. When you shoot an enemy, (which is the LED is coming down from the top of the screen) You get a point. However, if a ship hits you before you shoot it, you get a game over screen, that then displays your score. There's not much of a way to win, other than to try to beat a score that you or a friend got.
Today we starting learning about what Micro:bits are, and what they can do.
We started working on making the Micro:bits print our name. This can be found on my home page
Began work on a countdown. Half way done. Im hoping it works well.
Recorded videos of my Micro:bit projects I did over the weekend. Started a calculator.
Worked on a calculator, and a coin flip. I uploaded all the videos, and all the code has been screenshoted. Still trying to figure out my BIG project.
I finished a game, a dodge game, and worked on a BIG project. Planning to finish the project by the end of Sunday
Using a computer a Micro:bit, and some tutorials, I created 8 projects, because it shows games and projects I coded. During this process, I learned how to code using Micro: bits block coding, and also learned how to use snip, because I sniped all my coding images.
The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to my Micro:bits, because I'm an empowered learner, because I knew what I wanted to make, and I'm a digital citizen, because I did not directly copy anybody, I'm a knowledge constructor because I used tutorials and help menus on Micro:bit to make my games/projects. I'm a innovative designer, because I made original projects, made by myself. Some are different then tutorials, and the calculator an coin flip are from scratch I'm a computational thinking, because I used technology to program and find information on the Micro:bits. I uploaded all my work and coding onto a public website, meaning I'm a global collaborator.
A challenge I overcame on this project was not understanding the coding at first. I was able to overcome this because I had continued to get some help online, and now understand it. Given a chance to do this again, I would make more complex projects, knowing how use the coding better. The reason why I would change it is because it would allow me to make more complex, however even cooler projects.
