Pictures Made of 0s and 1s!
How can on and off make a picture?
Real Python code
This is the code from the video. Read it out loud like a recipe, one line at a time!
heart = ["01010",
"11111",
"01110",
"00100"]
for row in heart:
row = row.replace("1", "#")
print(row.replace("0", "."))Quiz time!
How many bits does Bit's heart need?
01010
11111
01110
00100Pixels are everywhere
Photos
A camera saves each photo as millions of pixels
Pixel art games
Big chunky pixels you can really see
Every screen
Phones, tablets and TVs light up rows of pixels
Colour pixels
Store how much red, green and blue light to mix
Pixels and bits
Pixels
- Tiny squares in a grid
- Each shows one colour
- Lots make a picture
Bits
- Tiny on and off switches
- 1 = on, 0 = off
- One bit per black and white pixel
Pictures are made of pixels, and pixels are stored as bits!
Try it yourself!
On squared paper, colour a square for every 1 and leave it blank for every 0 to draw a picture from bits.
