A micro:bit star at 11 years-old A micro:bit star at 11 years-old You don’t have to be a hardened coder or techie to have contributed to the amazing micro:bit project. Abbie from Hertfordshire, is just eleven-years-old and has already designed images for the Foundation’s Python Editor and the new JavaScript Blocks Editor (pxt). If that is not enough, she has also been the inspiration behind several cracking micro:bit games. So far, Abbie has created thirteen images for the editors, one of them, the now famous duck image, led to the legendary teleporting duck game. She also helped design the micro:bit version of connect 4 and now has credits in the Python code files and author credits in MicroPython, the version of Python on the micro:bit. How did this remarkable feat come about? Abbie’s computer club leader remembers the start: “Abbie came to my little Saturday computer club. She really loved the micro:bit and soon started creating images and writing mini games, including connect 4. Abbie designed about half of the game in Blocks and I put it into Python. It was Abbie's idea to use dark and light LEDs for a two-player game, when she showed it to me I said: 'how did you know that?' and she said: 'oh easy, I looked through all the online documentation and saw it there so I tried it and it worked!'. The micro:bit team had seen Abbie’s work and when an opportunity arose to add more images to the micro:bit’s MicroPython image library, they asked Abbie if she would like to create some of them. She emailed over a word document full of new image designs, the MicroPython team saw them, loved them, coded them up and added them to the standard MicroPython for micro:bit build. When the team developing the new JavaScript Blocks Editor spotted the fantastic new images they decided to add them to their image library as well. How easy was it for Abbie to create such important images for the micro:bit? Sarah, Abbie’s mother, fills in the details: “Abbie had fun designing the images. She had lots of ideas and the challenge was to make them recognisable on a 5x5 grid. Abbie wanted to create fun images her friends would like. From cute animals like the duck to a roller skate and t-shirt.” Sarah added: “I think the micro:bit is such a fun way to learn coding. Its full of clever features like the accelerometer and I/O rings as well as the LED's and programmable buttons that allow children to be really creative.” And what about the young star herself? Well, she is being very modest. “I feel privileged to be allowed to contribute in this way,” she said. “I think it’s cool children all over the country could be using the images I helped design.” To see examples of Abbie’s work in the editors go to the JavaScript stage in the JavaScript Blocks Editor and type: basic.showIcon(IconNames. Duck) or to the Python Editor and type: display.show(Image.DUCK). For ease, her thirteen lovely designs are below:

Micro:bit zvijezda, a ima samo 11 godina Micro:bit zvijezda s 11 godina Ne moraš biti okorjeli programer ili zaljubljenik u tehniku da bi doprinijeo micro:bit projektu. Abbie iz Hertfordshirea ima samo 11 godina, a već je dizajnirala slike za Zakladin Python Editor i novi JavaScript Blocks Editor (pxt). Kao da to nije dovoljno, nadahnula je nekoliko zaraznih micro:bit igara. Do sada je Abbie napravila trinaest slika za editore, a jedna od njih poznata slike patke, dovela je do legendarne igre teleportiranja patke. Također je pomogla dizajnirati micro:bit verrziju igre 'Poveži 4', a sada ima i doprinose kôdnim datotekama za Python i u MicroPythonu, verziji Pythona za micro:bit. Kako je došlo do ovog izuzetnog podviga? Vođa Abbienog računalnog kluba se prisjeća početka: "Abbie je došla u moj mali subotnji klub. Stvarno joj se svidio micro:bit i uskoro je počela stvarati slike i pisati mini igre, uključujući 'Poveži 4'. Dizajnirala je oko pola igre u Blocks, a ja sam to prebacio u Python. Njena je ideja je bila koristiti tamne i svijetle LED-ice za igru za dva igrača. Kada mi je to pokazala, pitao sam ju: "Kako to znaš?", a ona je odgovorila: "Jednostavno, pregledala sam on-line dokumentaciju i ondje to vidjela, isprobala, i radilo je!" Micro:bit tim je vidio Abbien rad i kada se ukazala prilika da se doda više slika u biblioteku slika u za micro:bitov MicroPython, pitali su Abbie da li želi dizajnirati neke od njih. Poslala je e-mailom word dokument prepun novih dizajna slika, MicroPythonov tim ih je vidio, svidjele su im se, kôdirali su ih i dodali standardnoj verziji MicroPythona za micro:bit. Kada je tim koji je razvijao novi JavaScript Blocks Editor uočio te fantastične nove slike, odlučili su ih dodati i u svoju biblioteku slika. Je li za Abbie bilo teško stvoriti tako važne slike za micro:bit? Sarah, Abbiena majka, nadopunjava priču: "Abbie je zabavljalo dizajnirati slike. Imala je puno ideja i izazov je bio napraviti ih da budu prepoznatljive na 5 x 5 polju. Abbie je željela stvoriti zabavne slike koje će se sviđati njenim prijateljima. Od slatkih životinja kao patka do koturaljki i majice." Sarah je dodala: "Mislim da je micro:bit baš zabavan način za naučiti programirenje. Prepun je pametnih značajki kao što su akcelerometar i I/O prstenovi-konektori, pa onda LED-ice i programabilni gumbići, što sve omogućuje djeci da budu stvarno kreativna." A što se događa s mladom zvijezdom? Dakle, ona je vrlo skromna. "Osjećam se privilegirano da mogu pridonijeti na ovaj način", rekla je. "Mislim da je cool da bi djeca diljem zemlje mogla koristiti slike koje sam pomogla dizajnirati." Da vidite primjere Abbienog rada u editorima, odite u JavaScript panel u JavaScript Blocks Editor i utipkajte: basic.showIcon(IconNames.Duck) ili u Python Editor i utipkajte: display.show(Image.DUCK).
