Introduction to MicroPython getting started with BBC micro:bit
summary
Teaches practical MicroPython on a 5x5 BBC micro:bit using the editor and simulator to drive the LED matrix, push buttons, accelerometer and radio. Uses MicroPython on a BBC micro:bit to build a single‑player and a multiplayer Battleship game (5x5 grid, three ships sized 3,2,2) where tilt selects shots and A fires; multiplayer uses radio to exchange coordinates. The game runs end‑to‑end but radio messages can drop so pairing sometimes needs retries.
