Microbit dice

Hello everyone today I will be talking about a Microbit tutorial. Not a kid bright one, but it's a Microbit one. So first up you must go into the website and start coding.

The number 0 actually counts so 0-5 will = 1-6. Next, get the if-else block and click the + button 4 times you will see it when you do it. Next, get the variable of dice and put it in the if in every single one of them and put the 0-5 in every single one of them so the first one is 0 next is 1 and so on. Next, just draw every single picture on what you want that number to look like as a picture for the screen its only a 5x5 LED screen so it is a small screen. Anyways that is all pretty simple, but works nicely! That's all bye!

So let me explain the Microbit is really small and only has a few LED lights and 3 buttons though there are a few advantages and disadvantages for the Microbit. Let's start with the advantages first.  So the Microbit is a lot smaller than the kid bright and since it is a lot smaller than the kid bright it can be used as a wearable watch.

Like for example, they both have a LED screen and they both have 3 buttons. The Microbit can be able to play on the website so you don't have to download anything unlike the kid bright. The kid bright does have a simulator though. There are free tutorials on the website or the app on how to make codes a...
