Rock Paper Scissors

Introduction

Use the accelerometer and the screen to build a Rock Paper Scissors game that
you can play with your friends!

Step 1
Add a on shake block to run code when you shake the micro:bit.

Step 2
Add a hand variable and place the set hand to block in the shake event.

Step 3
Add a pick random block to pick a random number from 1 to 3 and store it in
the variable named hand .

In a later step, each of the possible numbers ( 1 , 2 , or 3 ) is matched to its own

Step 4
Place an if block under the pick random and check whether hand is equal to
1 . Add a show leds block that shows a picture of a piece of paper. The number 1
will mean paper.

Step 5
Click on the SHAKE button in the simulator. If you try enough times, you should see a
picture of paper on the screen.

Step 8
Click the + button again to add an else if section. Now, add a conditional block
for hand = 2 to the condition in else if . Since hand can only be 1 , 2 , or 3 ,
your code is covering all possible cases!
