Introduction
In this activity, you will create a Binary Transmogrifier, a tool that converts binary (base-2) numbers into decimal (base-10) numbers and vice versa. This project is designed for users of Microsoft MakeCode, allowing them to engage with programming concepts through a hands-on approach.
Key Features:
- Interactive Learning: Users can input binary digits using buttons and see real-time conversions to decimal.
- Variable Management: The project involves creating and managing variables to hold binary and decimal values.
- User Input Handling: The program responds to button presses, allowing users to build binary numbers dynamically.
- Educational Value: This activity teaches fundamental programming concepts such as variables, user input, and binary number systems.
Use Cases:
- Educational Settings: Ideal for teaching students about binary numbers and programming basics.
- Coding Workshops: Can be used in workshops focused on introductory programming and electronics.
- Personal Projects: Great for hobbyists looking to explore coding with microcontrollers like the micro:bit.
