truth or dare challenges

A multi-player game that forces each player to reveal a secret or something funny.

Before we get started

Complete the following guided tutorial, and your code should look like this

basic.showLeds(`
    . . # . .
    . # # # .
    # # # # #
    . . # . .
    . . # . .
    `)
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
    let random = randint(0, 2)
    if (random == 0) {
        basic.showString("TRUTH")
    } else {
        basic.showString("DARE")
    }
    basic.showLeds(`
    . . # . .
    . # # # .
    # # # # #
    . . # . .
    . . # . .
    `)
})

Challenge 1

Let’s make the word “DARE” appear a little more often than “TRUTH”. Change the line of code with pick random (1) to pick random (2).

basic.showLeds(`
    . . # . .
    . # # # .
    # # # # #
    . . # . .
    . . # . .
    `)
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
    let random = randint(0, 3)
    if (random == 0) {
        basic.showString("TRUTH")
    } else {
        basic.showString("DARE")
    }
    basic.showLeds(`
    . . # . .
    . # # # .
    # # # # #
    . . # . .
    . . # . .
    `)
})

Challenge 2

Instead of just saying “TRUTH” or “DARE”, let’s sometimes say “SKIP”. This would allow the skipped person to spin the micro:bit without completing a truth or dare. Modify the if statement as shown.

basic.showLeds(`
    . . # . .
    . # # # .
    # # # # #
    . . # . .
    . . # . .
    `)
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
    let random = randint(0, 2)
    if (random == 1) {
        basic.showString("TRUTH")
    } else if (random == 0) {
        basic.showString("DARE")
    } else {
        basic.showString("SKIP")
    }
    basic.showLeds(`
        . . # . .
        . # # # .
        # # # # #
        . . # . .
        . . # . .
        `)
})

• Run your code to see if it works as expected

Challenge 3

Add some other messages, such as “TWO DARES” for the micro:bit to show. You will need to modify the parameter inside pick random (3) as well as adding another if condition.
