Session Details
All in a flap – how to create your own flappy bird clone with TouchDevelop
Presentation
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!
