Here is the full code listing for the Arduino version. You can copy and paste it into the Arduino IDE.
This code has been tested and verified to work on either a Circuit Playground Classic or Express.
// Circuit Playground Dear Diary Alarm
//
// Don't let sister/brother read your secrets! Place the "armed" Circuit
// Playground under your diary. If someone tries to remove the diary, an alarm
// will sound.
