3. You could create your own flappy birds type
game – but for your school!
First, think of a main character.
If you’re really advanced, you can create this using photoshop or
Fireworks, but for the sake of time, you could also just make it in
scratch itself (or Power Point).
Suggestions: Get a stick man and your school’s logo. See Next slide
Step 1
4. Make your Own Character
Step 1
Get a Picture of a Stickman
from the Internet or Clipart
Locate your School’s logo and
paste it in too
5. Make your Own Character
Step 1
Right Click (selecting both
images) and click SAVE as
Picture
Save your Image (as a .jpeg
file) in your Documents.
Arrange your pictures on top
of each other (or however
you want)
6. Import Sprite into Scratch
Step 2
Click on “Import”
Click on “Computer” then the
“N” Drive to find your image.
Click on Paint New Sprite
7. Import Sprite into Scratch
Step 2 contd
You now have your own
character in Scratch.
You can delete the Cat!
9. The Mechanics of Flappy Bird
• Flappy Bird is based around a simple interaction: press screen
to flap wings.
But it is clear that Nguyen has spent time working out the exact vertical
lift achieved by this single input; just as he has got the gap between
pipes exactly right.
10. Creating Flappy Birds in Scratch
A good way to introduce yourself to Programming is to use SCRATCH.
Scratch was created by MIIT to get young people (as young as five
years old!) interested in the concept of programming and how logic
sequences can get sprites to do clever things.
Can Flappy Birds be created in Scratch ?Yes!
Have a look at the next slide for a website that shows a screenshot of
how it has already been made!
11. To start with, make a sprite and create the
following code blocks:
This simply makes your sprite
go up (Y by +10) when you
press space.
12. Challenge #1
Flappy Birds works like this.
1. The moment you press START (or the green flag) the Bird KEEPS FALLING TO THE GROUND
2. When you Press Space (or any other key you choose) the Bird then goes up
On the previous slide, you have done Part 2. Can you now add the code blocks to make Part 1 work
