Computing

LO- To understand how to use variables in coding

Success criteria

1. I can create a sprite which changes costume repeatedly

2. I can programme a sprite to have specific consequences due to actions

3. I can add a scoring variable in my game which changes due to specific actions

Now watch my tutorial to learn how to create a flappy bird game using a scoring system. You can watch the tutorial the whole way through or pause when suggested and work alongside the video.

I have added the coding used for the game as a resource to download if you need some extra help.

Tasks

1. Create a background and a bird sprite. Programme the bird sprite to move up and down

2. Programme the bird sprite to change costumes so that it looks like it is flying

3. Create a sprite (sprite 2) that will be what your bird would like to catch for points

4. Code that sprite 2 to move around for the bird to catch ( see code support for exact coding and numbers)

5. Create a score variable and set score to 0 once you begin the game

6. Create a forever loop so that if Sprite 2 touches the bird it will gain a point

7. Finally add a hide, wait and show into the forever loop so the points are gained appropriately.

Extension: Develop your game- use all the knowledge you have gained to add extra effects such as speech, sounds and levels. Enjoy!
