Microbit Rock Paper Scissors Concepts

This lesson covers creating a Rock Paper Scissors game using a microbit. It begins with an overview of inputs and outputs, followed by an explanation of randomness and variables. The lesson then guides students through coding the game, implementing an algorithm to randomly select rock, paper, or scissors based on input. Finally, it demonstrates testing the game to ensure functionality.

What are the key concepts introduced in this lesson?

• Syntax, Semantics, Compilation, Execution

• Algorithm, Output, Input, Random, Variable

• Class, Object, Inheritance, Polymorphism

• Loop, Condition, Function, Array

In the Rock Paper Scissors game, what is the purpose of shaking the Microbit?

• To turn off the device

• To display the score

• To simulate the act of playing

• To reset the game

What is stored in the variable 'hand' during the game?

• The number of shakes

• A player's name

• A random number representing rock, paper, or scissors

• The score of the game

Which block is used to start the program when the Microbit is shaken?

• On Button A Pressed

• On Shake

• Forever Loop

• On Start

How do you check if the variable 'hand' is equal to a specific number?

• Using a print statement

• Using a loop

• Using a function call

• Using an if statement with a logic block

What should be done if the variable 'hand' equals 1?

• Show a picture of a smiley face

• Show a picture of rock

• Show a picture of paper

• Show a picture of scissors

What is the final step after coding the Rock Paper Scissors game?

• Submit the code for review

• Test the game by simulating shakes

• Publish the game online

• Add more features to the game

How can you simulate shaking the Microbit on the website?

• By clicking a button labeled 'Shake'

• By pressing the spacebar

• By rotating the screen

• By typing 'shake' in the console

What does the game display if the random number is 3?

• A picture of rock

• A picture of a sad face

• A picture of paper

• A picture of scissors

What is the purpose of using random numbers in the game?

• To determine the winner automatically

• To keep track of the score

• To ensure the game is fair and unpredictable

• To save the game state
