microbit_guess_the_answer

micro:bit group game to experiment with the micro:bit radio stack

How to play

One person plays the "Quiz master" and sets the question.

The others have to guess the answer by tapping "A" or "B".

The first to send the correct answer wins.

Each participant gets a micro:bit and needs to customize the code for their role.

Set the device name to your nickname:

DEVICE_NAME = "alice"

Set the application role to Q (Question)

APP_ROLE = "Q"

Set the challenge, answers and correct answers.

Example:

CHALLENGE = "27 + 6"
ANSWER_A = "30"
ANSWER_B = "33"
CORRECT_ANSWER = "B"

Flash the code onto the micro:bit

Set the device name to your nickname:

DEVICE_NAME = "bob"

Set the application role to A (Answer)

APP_ROLE = "A"

Flash the code onto the micro:bit

Quiz Master: press button "A" to send the challenge and the two response options to the participants
Participants: Read the challenge and the two possible answers.

Press "A" or "B" depending on which one you think is correct.

A "tick" or "X" icon will appear on your microbit
Quiz Master: press B to reveal the name (device id) of the fastest participant to answer correctly.

Press the reset button on the back of the microbit board to clear the winner name.

Mu Editor is one of the easiest way to program the microbit.
