WRITE A SECRET MESSAGE

1. Planning

Morse code is a method used in telecommunications to encode text characters as standardized sequences of two different signal durations, called dots and dashes.

SOS is a Morse code signal used internationally meaning "Save Our Souls."

Here's a chart where you can see all the letters and numbers in morse code.

2. Starting the Message

Let's first write a dot.

3. Writing the First Letter

Now let's write three dots for the first "S".

4. Optimizing the First Letter

Now let’s optimize the code, making it more efficient, getting the same outcome with less blocks.

How can we do it? What blocks seems to be repeated? How many times are they repeated?

The four blocks grouped in the bracket are repeated three times. So let's put them inside a repeat block, to get the same behavior with less blocks.

5. Writing the Second Letter

Now let’s add the 3 dashes for the “O”.

6. Writing the Third Letter

And add the last 3 dots for the last "S".

Take it Further

Now take the Morse Code chart and write your own secret word/message.

...and beyond!

Now create your own secret code!

Start with pen & paper. Create a unique code for all the letters in the alphabet, using dots and dashes. And then code your Capybara to write your secret message!
