Overview of this book

The new LEGO SPIKE Prime is one of the latest additions to the LEGO robotics line of products. This book will help you to enjoy building robots and understand how exciting robotics can be in terms of design, coding, and the expression of ideas. The book begins by taking you through a new realm of playful learning experiences designed for inventors and creators of any age. In each chapter, you'll find out how to build a creative robot, learn to bring the robot to life through code, and finally work with exercises to test what you've learned and remix the robot to suit your own unique style. Throughout the chapters, you'll build exciting new smart robots such as a handheld game, a robotic arm with a joystick, a guitar, a flying bird, a sumobot, a dragster, and a Simon Says game. By the end of this LEGO book, you'll have gained the knowledge and skills you need to build any robot that you can imagine.

Making your own game

Consider how you could take this simple and classic game and make it your own. Here are some suggestions that will allow you to use your own imagination and build up some skills as well:

  • Design your own icons for rock, paper, and scissors.
  • Convert this to a flip a coin (heads or tails) game.
  • Convert this game from rock, paper, scissors to the rolling of a die. Can you rewrite the code so when you shake the Intelligent Hub it mimics the random roll of a die?
  • Add an option where you can choose from the three games to play.
