Learning to Write Flappy Bird

There is a free course here at Udemy - Flappy Bird - I patterned this lesson after it. I simplified the code for younger children. You are welcome to take it as he does a great job introducing you to the world of LiveCode. And he has videos showing each step of the way. At least look at the first few lessons on your own...

    1. One Code to Rule Them All
    2. Downloading and installing LiveCode
    3. Community vs Commercial
    4. Some steps back in history **good
    5. Hello world
    6. Building for delivery

In Class we will be doing the next few lessons together

    7. Planning you app (download the graphics below...)
    8. Making the bird
    9. Flying the bird
   10. Making the city
   11. Making the columns
   12. Obstacle interaction and scoring system
   13. Final building for desktop
   14. Final building for IOS
   15. Final wrap-up

You can work ahead on your own or work with me in class as I explaining every step. 
We will be learning some advanced game programming code and tricks

Programming Flappy Bird


    1. Flappy Bird 1 - Moving the bird
    3. Flappy Bird 3 - Moving the Pipes (Columns)
    4. Flappy Bird 4 - Intersecting the Bird


Enhancements for Your Flappy Bird

1. Make the Columns Random

        You can make your columns move to different locations.

                               

        You can compete against yourself or other players.
 
                     


3. Adding a "Turbo" Mode to Speed up the Columns

            You can speed up the game in two ways:

           1. with a key - by pressing the "t" key on the keyboard (t for turbo)

                                

            2. with a "Turbo" button

                               


4. Adding a Speed Control for the columns

         You can speed up the columns and make the game harder to master

           
                               
             


5. Adding a Gravity Control for the columns

         You can speed up the columns and make the game harder to master

                        


  6Adding Palettes/Substacks for Pop-up Settings

           You can add preferences/settings to a pop-up screen.
