Basics of programming
This chapter explains the basics of programming. It is specifically designed to introduce beginners to the basic concepts and principles of programming.
Simple programming projects are presented to help you put what you have learned into practice. These projects are designed to gradually deepen your understanding and give you the opportunity to further develop your programming skills.
This chapter thus lays the foundation for all further programming activities and helps you develop a solid understanding of basic programming concepts that you can apply in both MakeCode and MicroPython.
Note: The sample codes for MicroPython are sometimes very complex and are primarily intended to reflect the codes from MakeCode. This means that for each example in MakeCode, a corresponding MicroPython code is provided that maps the same functionality.
Joy-Car Basics
This section presents basic code examples for programming the Joy-Car. These examples are intended to help you get to know and use the basic functions and control options of the Joy-Car. The examples cover both simple and advanced scenarios and are available in both MakeCode and MicroPython.
