Flappy Bird! Another great session of coding.

This week, we talked about bigger projects, in particular one in which we could make Angry Birds using Hopscotch. Everyone was really enthusiastic about this possibility. However, we all agreed that one more stepping stone might be a good idea. The fourth lesson in the Hopscotch series on You Tube involves the creation of the Flappy Bird game ... and this was the focus of our lesson on Friday afternoon.

This video goes for just over 16 minutes and is a bigger project than we've done before. Hence, not a single photo was taken during the lesson. The students were totally focused on the steps (as was I) and most kept up very well. One student required some one-to-one assistance from me, but with persistence, he also managed to finish the project by the end of the lesson.

We've decided to have a go at the even more challenging project called "Make Angry Birds in Hopscotch!" next week ... a 30 minute video with many new concepts. I promised the students that I would add the video early so that, if they chose to, they could watch it before next week's coding class ... so here it is.

Enjoy!
