# Tug-Of-LED
## Introduction @unplugged
The ``tug-of-LED`` is a virtual variation of the popular **tug of war** rope game.
Instead of a rope, we'll use the LED screen by pulling the LED light through the center row.
## {Step 1}
Create a new variable ``||variables:rope||`` and put it in the ``||basic:on start||``. This will
track the progress of the game. The ``||variables:rope||`` variable will be used as the **x**
coordinate of the LED to lit so we set it to ``2`` to start.
```blocks
let rope = 2
```
## {Step 2}
In the ``||basic:forever||`` loop, put in a ``||basic:clear screen||`` and plot an LED at the ``||variables:rope||`` position.
```blocks
let rope = 2
basic.forever(function() {
basic.clearScreen();
led.plot(rope, 2);
})
```
## {Step 3}
Add an event on ``||input:button A pressed||`` to change the ``||variables:rope||`` value by **-0.1**.
```blocks
let rope = 2
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, function () {
rope += -0.1
})
```
## {Step 4}
Add an event on ``||input:button B pressed||`` to change the ``||variables:rope||`` value by **0.1**.
```blocks
let rope = 2
input.onButtonPressed(Button.B, function () {
rope += 0.1
})
```
## {Step 5}
Because a button press pulls the rope by **0.1** in either direction, plot the ``||math:round||`` value of ``||variables:rope||`` to the nearest LED.
```blocks
let rope = 2
basic.forever(function() {
basic.clearScreen()
led.plot(Math.round(rope), 2)
})
```
## {Step 6}
Back in the ``||basic:forever||``, add code to test ``||logic:if||`` the ``||variables:rope||`` is negative
then ``||basic:show||`` **A WINS** on the screen.
```blocks
let rope = 2
basic.forever(function() {
basic.clearScreen();
led.plot(Math.round(rope), 2);
// @highlight
if (rope < 0) {
basic.showString("A WINS")
}
})
```
## {Step 7}
Add an ``||logic:else if||`` condition to test ``||logic:if||`` the ``||variables:rope||`` is greater than 4
then ``||basic:show||`` **B WINS** on the screen.
```blocks
let rope = 2
basic.forever(function() {
basic.clearScreen();
led.plot(Math.round(rope), 2);
if (rope < 0) {
basic.showString("A WINS")
} else if (rope > 4) {
// @highlight
basic.showString("B WINS")
}
})
```
## {Step 8}
Find a friend and start button smashing!
