Example Uses

• Controlling movement in a game

forever
  change x by ((tilt angle (right v)::microbit) * (0.02))
  change y by ((tilt angle (front v)::microbit) * (0.02))
end

• Measuring angles as an inclinometer

set [known distance to object base v] to [12]
say (join [Calculated object height: ] ((known distance to object base) * ([tan v] of (tilt angle (front v)::microbit))))
