Commands
Print something with print.
Ask something with ask.
Repeat something using echo.
Welcome to Hedy! In Level 1 you can use the commands print, ask and echo.
In the left bar you can see all commands of level 1.
Press the blue button and the code will be typed for you!
Try the code yourself with the green 'Run the code' button under the left programming field.
Don't know what to create? In the next tabs you find some ideas for what to build.
Make a story
In level 1 you can make a story with a different main character that you enter yourself.
As the first line, use this code:
ask who is the protagonist of your story
After that first line, start with print if the sentence needs to be printed.
You use echo if you want your main character to be at the end of the sentence.
Example Hedy code
ask The main character of this story is ...
print The main character is now going to walk in the forest
echo He's a bit scared who ...
print He hears crazy noises everywhere
print He's afraid this is a haunted forest
What's next?
It is a pity that you can now only make sentences in which the main character is at the end of the sentence right? After practicing with this story, continue to level 2 and then to level 3, where you can make more and more complicated programs.
Dice
In level 1 we make a start with our own die.
Example Hedy code
ask Would you like to make a die?
echo You said:
Looking forward
This code only repeats the player's answer. In the following levels, the computer will really make a choice.
Rock, paper, scissors
In level 1 you can start with a rock, paper, scissors game.
With ask you can make a choice, and with echo you can repeat that choice.
Example Hedy code
print what do you choose?
ask choose from rock, paper or scissors
echo so your choice was:
What's next?
Just repeating is of course a bit boring because the computer does not choose anything. We will make that ourselves later.
Restaurant
In level 1 you can make your own virtual restaurant and take your guests' orders.
Example Hedy code
print Welcome to Hedy's restaurant
ask What would you like to order?
echo So you would like to order...
print Thanks you for your order!
print It's on its way!
Challenge
Can you think of more lines to add to your restaurant code? For example, can you ask the guests what they'd like to drink, tell them the price, or wish them a pleasant meal?
Fortune Teller
Have you ever been to a carnival and had your future predicted by a fortune teller? Or have you ever played with a magic eight ball? Then you probably know that they can't really predict your future, but it's still fun to play!
In the upcoming levels you can learn how to create your own fortune telling machine! In level 1 you can start off easy by letting Hedy introduce herself as a fortune teller and let her echo the players' answers. Like this:
Example Hedy code
print Hello, I'm Hedy the fortune teller!
ask Who are you?
print Let me take a look in my crystall ball
print I see... I see...
echo Your name is...
Challenge
Hedy now only tells you your name. Can you expand the code so that Hedy can predict more things about you?
Obviously, Hedy isn't a very good fortune teller yet, as she can only repeat the answers that were given by the players! Take a look in level 2 to improve your fortune teller.
