BBC micro:bit – Magic 8 Ball

For this project we are going to code our micro:bit to act as a magic 8 ball:

The user will think of a question such as:

• Will it be snowing tomorrow?
• Will I be a rock star one day?
• Will my program work?

Then they will shake the micro-bit. The micro-bit will than randomly pick one of the following four answers:

• No way!
• Probably!
• Unlikely!
• Definitely!

Have a go at completing the task by yourself and if you get stuck or don’t know how to get started check our solution below.
