Make "Flappy Bird" in Scratch 3.0 (Highlights)

so who knows what game it is behind me I ask people to raise their hand if you have seen this game and a whole bunch of people have put their hands up so let's have a look and see if Ethan knows what this game is flappy bird have you played it excellent you've heard about it right excellent yeah so the game behind me is called flappy bird ok so we are going to build flappy bird today it's going to be a little bit a little bit tricky because flappy bird the fun part of flappy bird is that it is so well balanced with the physics of the bird okay so the bird flies higher when you press the screen on your mobile phone and then when you let go it slowly drops again okay so it gets really really hard because the gaps between the pipes will keep on traveling past your bird and then you have to try and not to hit the pipe okay so that is flappy bird it doesn't really make sense right why would there be a bird flying in the middle of some pipes doesn't really make sense but these this game has become a multimillion-dollar hit around the world okay it is such a simple game the people who made it actually only made it over the course of something like three weeks to make this game we are going to try and build it in one lesson so we're going to try and build it in one lesson but if we if we have time and we're going to try and improve it and make it as close to the flappy bird game as possible if not we'll still have a very very cool and fun game so now we are going to update well actually we'll decorate these buildings later on but what I want to do is we're going to do the code now to create these obstacles and make them move across the screen make it move across the screen so in order to do that what I'm going to do is I put the pipes on this side of the screen and then they start off over here and then we're going to clean them every couple of seconds and then once they get cloned they move to a random height and then they move across the screen towards your flappy bird we're going to control and then we go stop or stop all we press play f touch the HIPAA then we stop all the whole game stops so if not then it keeps on going going going and then if I bump into it how game stops okay I'll just share one more time so the game is going across identify touch and the game stops there is still quite a lot of things that we need to do to to finesse this game just like flappy bird okay so for flappy bird we're not just controlling directly the birds going up and down all we need to do is we need to make it give it some physics we want to press a button so that it flies higher every time you press the button and then it glides down when you're not pressing the button and that's going to make the game really really hard and really exciting and then we can also make it so that they add a scoring system so that for each pipes each of the pipes that go past us we can keep track of the score as well so that the player can see how well they are going so if you have any problems send me an email and if there is a major problem then I can send you the code that I'm using so that we can all pick up from the same spot thanks for you okay until next time bye bye the next part is we're going to add the the case for when we press the spacebar okay so we're going to events there we go when the space key is pressed the space key pressed then we drag it underneath our existing script the next thing is we're going to make it fly so when space key is pressed we're going to repeat something 10 times ok so we go to control and then there's a repeat 10 times loop so this is not the same as a forever loop but forever loop makes it go on forever but we only wanted to to fly up a limited amount of times and then this is where you can experiment okay so in motion you can go change X by 10 you change it by say I'm not sure of 5 or something like that and then when you press through your flag you can test it by pressing space okay well whoops I got X by 5 which is wrong because iam pointed that out before it was supposed to be here yet well no it is not flying high enough so I need to change that again so when space key is pressed I'll go change Y by maybe hello yeah sort of working maybe I'll make it so that we repeat your less times but they make it go higher so this is where you can adjust okay so you can change the repeat number and also the why number to make it so that your game feels like the way you want it to feel so I'm going to change these numbers a few times and then you can copy me once I get it looking and feeling right okay oh yeah this looks ah no it's probably not not quite enough not quite good enough maybe 18 well ah this is good all right so I think I found them a magic number but you can change it yourself if you want to okay so I'm having mine as repeat six and then change Y by 18 and then we repeat that six times so you can change your all your numbers to make it as more comfortable for you but remember it is it is a hard game it's not it's going to make it a little bit frustrating and I know that we had it as quite an easy game before right we're when you're following the mouse up when you have the controls like flappy bird it's a little bit hard it's a little bit frustrating and it's totally fine okay it's not it's not your fault the game was just made like that okay and at the end of the lesson if you would prefer that we follow the mouse instead then I can teach you how to make it follow the mouse instead as well okay but this game is designed to be hard so don't be afraid that you keep on losing will keep on dying okay we are is where our building hard and frustrating game
