PRO: Lesson - Binary System Part 2

Binary System Part 2

Below is a set of images created using Binary Language. In the images, using 0 (off) creates a black pixel, while 1 (on) creates a white pixel. Using a 9x9 grid, you can create images using this binary language:

Image: a series of pictures created with binary language. A flower, smiley face, heart, boat, house and rocket.

So, for image 1 (flower), we can see the following grid patterns:

  • Line 1: 000000000
  • Line 2: 000101000
  • Line 3: 000010000
  • Line 4: 000101000
  • Line 5: 000010000
  • Line 6: 000010000
  • Line 7: 001111100
  • Line 8: 000111000
  • Line 9: 000111000

Can you write the images using binary code? Try it for yourself! See if you can write the binary code for the other images. What image(s) could you create on a 9x9 grid, just using 0 (black) and 1 (white)? You can check your code below - see if you got the binary coding correct!
