Objective of the lesson Use Block Editor to make a Love ‘O’ Meter • All of you will: – Create a random number if pin P 0 is pressed • Most of you will: – Create a random message if pin P 0 is pressed • Some of you will: – Create an image to accompany the message 2

Love O Meter We will use if, else if and else statements to check if you and a friend are a Love Match. One person will touch Pin 0 and the other GND. When you hold hands a circuit will be made which will start the program. Add an on P 0 pressed loop Because the random number created will change this is called a variable. Add a variable

Maybe these will be hearts of different brightness depending on the love match 3. See if you can develop a fortune teller game that tells your fortune when you make a connection between P 0 and GND
