In Level 1 you can use the commands print, ask and echo. Type your code in the programming field. Or press the green button in the example code block, and the code will be typed for you! Try the code yourself with the green 'Run code' button under the programming field.

You can print text to the screen using the print command.

print Hello!
print Welcome to Hedy!

You can also ask for input with ask and repeat it back with an echo command.

ask What is your name?
echo hello

Let's get started! Don't know what to create? In the next tabs you will find ideas for programs to build.

Create your own online pet parrot that will copy you!

print Im Hedy the parrot
ask whats your name?
echo
echo

Exercise

Copy the example code to your input screen by clicking on the yellow button. Make the parrot ask a different question. Fill in the blanks in the example! Extra You can also let the parrot ask multiple questions. Type in some more lines of code beneath your own code.

print Im Hedy the parrot
ask _
echo
echo

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.

print what do you choose?
ask choose from rock, paper or scissors
echo so your choice was:

Exercise

Instead of using words, you could also use emojis: ✊✋✌ Can you create a code using emojis?

print what do you choose?
ask choose from _
echo so your choice was:

In this adventure you are working towards making a game in which you have to escape from a haunted house by picking the correct door. If you pick the right door you'll survive, but if not a terrible monster might...

In level 1 we start our haunted house game by making up a scary story and ask the player what monster they'll see in the haunted house.

print How did I get here?
print I remember my friend telling me to go into the old mansion...
print and suddenly everything went black.
print But how did I end up on the floor...?
print My head hurts like Ive been hit by a baseball bat!
print What's that sound?
print Oh no! I feel like Im not alone in this house!
print I need to get out of here!
print There are 3 doors in front of me..
ask Which door should i pick?
echo I choose door
print ...?

Exercise

Copy the example code to your input screen by clicking the yellow button. Now finish the story by adding at least 5 lines of code. Remember to start each line of codes with a print command.

In level 1 you can make a story with a different main character that you enter yourself.

In the first line, use ask and ask who the main character of the story will be.

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.

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,
print He hears crazy noises everywhere
print He's afraid this is a haunted forest

Exercise

Now create your own story of at least 6 lines of code. This story cannot be the same as the example code. Use at least one ask and one echo command. You can make it about any topic you like. If you can't think of a topic, use one of our choices: going to the movies, a sports match or a day at the zoo.

You can also use Hedy to draw. By combining turns and lines, you can make a square or stairs!

Using forward you draw a line forwards. The number behind it determines how far the turtle will walk. turn right turns a quarter turn in clockwise direction, turn left turns counter clockwise.

If you want to go backwards, you use the forward command but with a negative number. So for example forward -100

Exercise

This is the start of a little staircase. Can you make it have 5 steps?

forward 50
turn right
forward 50
turn left
forward 50

In level 1 you can make your own virtual restaurant and take your guests' orders.

print Welcome to Hedy's restaurant 🍟
_ What would you like to order?
echo So you would like to order
print Thank you for your order!
print It's on its way!

Exercise

Copy the example code into your input screen by clicking the yellow button. Firstly, fill in the correct command on the blanks to make to code work properly. Then add at least 4 more lines of code to the restaurant program. Ask the costumer what they would like to drink and ask if they want to pay with cash or card. Lastly, think of a nice way to say goodbye to your costumer.

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:

_ Hello, I'm Hedy the fortune teller!
_ Who are you?
_ Let me take a look in my crystal ball
_ I see... I see...
_ Your name is

Exercise

Copy the example code into your inputscreen and fill in the blanks to make the code work. Extra Change the code and let the fortune teller not only predict your name, but also your age, your favorite sports team or something else about yourself.
