Use the following code for Blinking Lights Game to program your Arduino and Learning Board.
The LED pin numbers are not complete. Each learning board is unique so you need to look to where the LEDs are hooked up.
The pre-Setup and Setup Code are in the correct order, but it is up to you to rearrange the void loop code to make the game function.
Good luck and don't let little failures stop you.

/* This program is meant to be used with a learning board
* that snaps onto an Arduino UNO R3 with the following specs.
* 6 LEDs are connected to a series of pins.
* One pin is connected to a pullup resistor and a pushbutton
* One pin is hooked up to an always HIGH pin as a 5V jumper
