To use block editor to make a dice
All of you will:
Display a number for 1 to 6 for a single die
Most of you will:
Display a number for 1 to 12 for two dice
Some of you will:
Roll the dice when you shake the Microbit

Electronic Dice
Add a button A pressed loop
Drag out a ‘pick random’ block and change to ‘0 to 5’
This will create a random number which will be either 0,1,2,3,4,or 5
As the number keeps changing it is said to ‘vary’. It is called a variable.
If we are not careful, once the number is created it will be forgotten.
To stop this happening we need to give it a name.
We need to add a variable block to give the random number a name
From the variables block, drag in ‘set item to’
Rename item to be ‘Random’
Call it Random
Now the number that is created is known as Random
Now we need to get it to show the number
Add in the show number block
This is set to show the number 2 but we want it to show our random number from 0 to 5 which we have called Random
Get it to show the number called Random by picking this variable from the variables block
Run the program and press the button A to create a Random number bewteen 0 and 5
But a dice should show the numbers 1 to 6 not 0 to 5
We can correct this by adding 1 to the value of Random do that 0 becomes 1, 1 becomes 2 etc and 5 becomes 6
You can do this by using the Maths block
Challenge
-
Get it to show numbers from 1 to 12 as if you were throwing two dice
-
Get it to roll a bumber 1 to 6 when you press button A and then anoyjer number 1 to 6 when you press button B
-
Get it to roll the dice when you shake the microbit
