Learning Objectives In this challenge we are learning how to draw and format a table on a web page using a range of HTML tags and CSS properties. HTML Tables First you may want to read a bit more about…
In this blog post we will work on the classic game of Minesweeper. Minesweeper is a single-player puzzle video game. The objective of the game is to clear a rectangular board containing hidden “mines” or bombs without detonating any of…
In our previous blog posts we have looked at a few logic gates circuits used inside a CPU to perform binary additions (Half adders and full adders) and to retain a bit of information using a D-Type flip-flop circuit (Data…
In this challenge we will use Python code to create a text-based (ASCII) animation to be used as a final countdown before the new year! Our countdown timer will be based on a for loop to count down from 5…
In this challenge we will create a computer program using LMC (Little Man Computer) that takes two inputs and outputs the larger (max) of the two inputs. By completing this challenge we will investigate the use of the branching instructions…
In this challenge we will create a computer program using LMC (Little Man Computer) that takes a number as an input (e.g. 5) and outputs a countdown from this value. (e.g: 5.4.3.2.1.0). By completing this challenge we will investigate the…
By completing this set of 12 mini challenges you will write programs using Little Man Computer using all the instructions of the LMC instruction set (See below). You will start with basic Input / Process / Output challenges based on…
What is BCD code? In computing and electronic systems, binary-coded decimal (BCD) is used to encode decimal numbers (base-10 numbers) in a binary form where each decimal digit is represented by a nibble (4 bits). For instance decimal number 5…
The aim of this challenge is to create a countdown timer, controlled by a BBC micro:bit that will display the numbers on a screen using a 7-segment display. A lot of electronic devices use this approach to display numbers on…
The purpose of this challenge is to create an electronic circuit used to test and identify logic gates integrated circuits. Logic gates are built as integrated circuits (also referred to as chips, or microchips). An integrated circuit is a set…
