[Microbit-Python] Microbit-Python “Simon Says” Example for Kitronik Inventor’s Kit

[Nicholas H.Tollervey]

Hi Nevil,

Just a quick correction: it's Damien George who should be getting all
the thanks - he's the creator of MicroPython and has put in a huge
amount of work on this project.

Without Damien we wouldn't have Python on the micro:bit.
