# Level

### @explicitHints true

## Is it level? @unplugged

Is your table flat? Use the @boardname@ as a level!

## {Step 1}

Make a variable ``||variables:x||`` and store the ``||input:acceleration x||`` value
in the ``||basic:forever||`` loop.

```spy
basic.forever(function() {
    // @highlight
    let x = input.acceleration(Dimension.X)
})
```

## {Step 2}

Make another variable ``||variables:y||`` and store the ``||input:acceleration y||`` value.

```spy
basic.forever(function() {
    let x = input.acceleration(Dimension.X)
    // @highlight
    let y = input.acceleration(Dimension.Y)
})
```

## {Step 3}

Add a code to test ``||logic:if||`` the ``||Math:absolute value||`` of ``||variables:x||`` is ``||logic:greater than||`` ``32``. 
If it is true, ``||basic:show an icon||`` to tell you that the @boardname@ is not flat, ``||logic:else||`` show nothing, for now.

```spy
basic.forever(function() {
    let x = input.acceleration(Dimension.X)
    let y = input.acceleration(Dimension.Y)
    if (Math.abs(x) > 32) {
        // @highlight
        basic.showIcon(IconNames.Sad)        
    } else {

    }
})
```

## {Step 4}

Add an ``||logic:else if||`` to check that the ``||Math:absolute value||`` of ``||variables:y||`` is ``||logic:greater than||`` ``32``. 
If it is true, ``||basic:show an icon||`` that tells you the @boardname@ is not flat.

```spy
basic.forever(function() {
    let x = input.acceleration(Dimension.X)
    let y = input.acceleration(Dimension.Y)
    if (Math.abs(x) > 32) {
        basic.showIcon(IconNames.Sad)        
    } else if (Math.abs(y) > 32) {
        // @highlight
        basic.showIcon(IconNames.Angry)        
    } else {

    }
})
```

## {Step 5}

The code under the ``||logic:else||`` will run if both acceleration ``x`` and ``y`` are small, which happens when the @boardname@ is laying flat. Add code to ``||basic:show a happy image||``.

```spy
basic.forever(function() {
    let x = input.acceleration(Dimension.X)
    let y = input.acceleration(Dimension.Y)
    if (Math.abs(x) > 32) {
        basic.showIcon(IconNames.Sad)        
    } else if (Math.abs(y) > 32) {
        basic.showIcon(IconNames.Angry)        
    } else {
        // @highlight
        basic.showIcon(IconNames.Happy)        
    }
})
```
