    The Micro:bit Interface

                      The Micro:bit interface offers several tools to help you code effectively.

                      Below are the main parts of the MakeCode Micro:bit Editor that will guide your
                      project development:

                         Micro:bit Simulator: Shows the micro:bit virtually, where you can see how your
                         code interacts with the LED grid or other elements on the micro:bit.

                         Start/Stop the simulator: To start/stop the simulator in micro:bit, click on the
                         Play button (triangle) to start and the Stop button (square) to stop the simulation
                         in the MakeCode editor

                         Download Button: Allows you to download your code to the micro:bit device.

                         Toolbox: The blocks you use in your project are found in the Toolbox. The Toolbox
                         is a sidebar that lists different block categories for various code functions.

                         Blocks or Python: You can switch between the block-based coding view and the
                         Python view. Just press one of the view buttons at the top of the window.

                         Workspace: In this area, you can drag and drop blocks to create your program.
                         Saving Projects: You can save your project as a .hex file, which can then be

                         transferred directly to the micro:bit device.
                         Undo and Redo: If you make a mistake or want to change something, you can
                         undo or redo recent changes using the Undo and Redo buttons at the bottom

                         right of the editor.

                         Settings: Access  settings, sign in to your account and use other tools.
