Step 3 of 6: Code a Scale
arrow pointing to the button A on simulator with the code that identifies processor behavior when button A is pressed

On this step you will create a scale using an online tool for coding called Makecode. The program linked below will bring you to an incomplete scale program that you will need to organize using the "play tone" blocks in the coding workspace. Complete the list below to create your first scale in Makecode.

  1. Go to the incomplete program here
  2. Click the "Edit" button to enter the coding editor
  3. Click the A button on the simulator to hear what this program plays currently.
  4. Your task is to add more blocks into the code stack so that the program plays the entire scale when the A button is pressed.
