Today in class P3 learnt about computer science and were able to code their own 'Flappy Bird' game.
I got the idea from Tracy Tindle (who I have also hitchhiked on her Minecraft Lifeforms Project) - check out her blog - http://misstindlesclass.wordpress.com/
They looked at the pros and cons of the current game and made improvements they thought would make the game more marketable.
P3 already have previous experience using scratch, they were able to move through the levels very quickly. There are 10 levels, each level adding in a new element for them to think about. The only challenge from them was that they hadn't realized that the green blocks were the event blocks and that they required purple and/or blue blocks underneath them. They also needed to ensure they didn't have any loose blocks in the creative screen.
Next session:
- Binary code
- Angry birds game
