[Microbit-Python] Start-up user guide examples...

[David Whale]

Hi Nicholas,

Please feel free to use my chase game.

https://github.com/whaleygeek/microbit_python/blob/master/chase/chase.py

I originally used this at CBBC Live and Digital in Hull last year- it was
tested by lots and lots of children and parents (we had a footfall in the
tens of thousands over the whole weekend, so the concept was well tested!)

I've just rewritten it in Python for you :-) The game is self-explanatory,
and *very* addictive! Highest possible score is 8. The game lasts for up to
1 minute (which was part of the design for a 'walk by activity for people
to engage with').

David.
