Interactive Animation Control in MakeCode

Stop Animation

The Stop Animation function is a key feature in the Microsoft MakeCode platform, specifically designed for controlling animations on LED displays. This function allows users to halt any ongoing animations as well as those queued to play, providing a seamless user experience in interactive projects.

Key Features:

• Immediate Control: Instantly stop animations with a simple command, enhancing user interactivity.
• Integration with Input: Easily integrate with button presses or other input methods to control when animations stop.
• Use Cases: Ideal for educational projects, games, and interactive displays where user input dictates visual feedback.

Example Usage:

input.onButtonPressed(Button.B, () => {
    led.stopAnimation();
});
basic.showString("STOP ME! STOP ME! PLEASE, WON'T SOMEBODY STOP ME?");

This example demonstrates how to set up the stop animation feature in conjunction with user input, making it a versatile tool for developers and educators alike.
