The 2016 Olympics are fast approaching and the Micro:bit technology is very capable of helping its athletes. Ever wondered how sprinters start as fast as they do? This is the Micro:Lympics Reaction game.
Simply 3D print the two platforms and paint the Olympic rings if you wish for a creative design. Simply follow the link below and compile the code to your Micro:bit. Once coded, slide the Micro:bit under the platforms as shown in the photos and there you have it! At a cue, whether it be sound or visual, two players must complete to hit the platforms as fast as they can. The letter of the button that is hit first will appear on the screen and they've won. Happy playing!
