All in a flap – how to create your own flappy bird clone with TouchDevelop
Join us in this session to use TouchDevelop to make your own flappy bird clone
About This Session
When flappy bird was removed from online stores, you may have been in a flap over where you were going to get your next flappy related fix. Well worry no more because, thanks to a free online tool called touchdevelop, you can now create your very own flapptastic app by simply following a few easy steps. (I personally like to make a flappy giraffe)
What is TouchDevelop?
TouchDevelop is an online app creation tool from Microsoft Research. Originally designed to develop Windows Phone 7 apps, the TouchDevelop Web App now allows you to develop apps for iPad, iPhone, Android, and Windows. It’s a browser-based programming environment, so all you’ll need is a device with Wi-Fi capabilities.
This workshop is best for students in fourth grade and above. If you’re a bit younger, you are still welcome to join in the fun – but we recommend walking through this tutorial before attending: https://www.touchdevelop.com/app/#hub:follow-tile:firststepswithturtle
Requirements: A device that can connect to the internet. We recommend a laptop, but if you have a tablet or a smartphone, those will work too!
