Is our Microbit happy or sad? In this lesson we make it show lots of different faces.

1 - Create a new Microbit project

Go to the makecode.com website and start a new Microbit project.

2 - Show the asleep face

In this lesson we're going to make our Microbits show different faces. At start let's show the asleep face, add the following code.

basic.showIcon(IconNames.Asleep)


3 - Make it happy

Now let's program the A button to make our Microbit happy by showing the happy face. Add the following code.

input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, function () {
    basic.showIcon(IconNames.Happy)
})

4 - Make it sad

Now let's program the B button to make our Microbit sad by showing the sad face. Add the following code.

input.onButtonPressed(Button.B, function () {
    basic.showIcon(IconNames.Sad)
})


5 - Make it meh

The meh face is not quite happy and not quite sad, just kind of in between! Add the following code.

input.onButtonPressed(Button.AB, function () {
    basic.showIcon(IconNames.Meh)
})
