This recipe will show you how we can use the 5 x 5 array of LEDs to display one of the built-in images that's available with the micro:bit library. There are many images available, ranging from facial expressions to animal symbols. They are very much like emojis.
In this recipe, we will see how we can display the heart and the smiley icon on the display. When creating projects on the micro:bit, it can be useful to display symbols beyond text and numbers, as shown in this recipe. If you've made a game on the micro:bit, you might want to show a happy or sad face when the player loses or wins the game.
