I struggled to find a balance of the snow yeti speed and the player icon speed. I didn’t want to make it too hard or too easy.

Game Unfinished Component

I wanted to make it slow down the skier when the icon wasn’t on the trail, but I didn’t have time to do this.

Game Next Steps

I think I would add more levels, maybe faster yetis and more gates.

Flappy Bird Image
Game Description

I wanted to recreate the game Flappy Bird, as it was discontinued in 2014… In this game the sprite (which is shaped as one of the original flappy birds) is controlled by pressing the spacebar on any given key board. The goal of the game is to get the bird to travel through as many pipes as possible without hitting any obstacles (or going out of bounds)...

The biggest challenge in making this game was getting the series up pipes to randomly spawn in on coordinates that made the game hard whilst simultaneously being entertaining…

Game Unfinished Component
  • One thing I would have liked to incorporate would have been a leaderboard that tracks players scores
  • My code and app could have used more comments
Game Next Steps
  • I would like to add a second (maybe third) level … and possible change the graphics of the game 
  • Add a leaderboard

Making the cat animations work properly was challenging.

Game Unfinished Component

If I had more time I would have made a “win” screen once all the fish were destroyed, but it still works because there are too many fish that replicate too fast to destroy them all.

Game Next Steps

I would like to make more fish designs that aren't just different colors.

Game Challenges
  • Setting up the system whereby the game ends when the ball hits the bottom of the screen was especially challenging.
  • Additionally, resetting everything after the game had ended proved to be difficult.
Game Unfinished Component

I hoped to fix an issue where the ball gets hit by the side of the paddle and goes off in the wrong direction, but didn’t have time to.

Game Next Steps

I would add multiplayer so that another player can control a different paddle.
