Create your own flappy bird game with Code.org

With it's death from the AppStore and Google Play Store, it still lives in some people's mind while others get to enjoy flappy bird clones. To celebrate Code.org's first anniversary they turned flappy bird to a lesson where it teaches you the basic elements of creating the game.

The user assembles the code by fitting various pieces of actions on to events. Events are counted as the clicking of your mouse, hitting an obstacle, basically anything that gives an input. Actions such as play sound, end game, score a point are attached to events. It doesn't matter where you put those blocks on the final level because it's your game with your rules. To make it easier I made it to score a point when we hit the ground instead of ending the game.

In an interview with GeekWire the co-founder of Code.org said that the idea was born during an employee happy hour when the group realized that it would be spectacular to change it into a coding session.
