Flappy Bird on Pythonista
-
Nice! You inspired me to create a game similar to, yet different from, Flappy Bird. Can't wait to see your next game.
-
Sorry for this dumb question, but how do i copy this code on to my pythonista editor on my iphone to try and execute it? I am a beginner in python and don't know.
-
First of all copy the entire script from the site linked above, unfortunately this can sometimes be a little tricky with the iOS text selection. Then open Pythonista, create a new blank script, name it something (like JumpyOctopus), paste the copied code, and finally press play in the upper right.

Thanks for sharing mate! Like your flappy! Could you guys check mine flappy games, I've made two already:
Flappy Minaj and Floppy Ufothanks mates!
-
@dgelessus thanks :D
-
This game might be similar to flappy bird but it is just as much fun and you have the option to fiddle around with it and modify it to your own needs.

Bamboo bird is best in my opinion
It has a whole new set of graphics and Game Center which makes it even more addicting
Check out Bamboo Bird on the apple App Store!!! -
I have just purchased Pythonista and followed the link to this forum and your game was the first I downloaded and executed (intuitively) to demonstrate to my two sons how good this programming app can be. It was so easy to do and such good fun to be able to code in changes to your game and watch the changes when executed. Great thanks. It impressed my kids and I hope it will stimulate them into coding a bit more.
Just one question if you have time. The octopus image you use, is it part of a Pythonistal library of images? I assume it is in a root directory or something because you don't use a path for it. I'm new to Python and IOS coding so don't know if I'm missing something here. Tried looking and found it in the Textures folder!
Thanks again for your code share.
Regards

There is a fairly large collection of images, icons and sounds included with Pythonista, which are in folders that cannot normally be accessed. You can get a list of all of them (and conveniently insert the names) using the + button in the toolbar while the keyboard is visible in the editor.

Found it thanks although I could only find it on my iPad and not on my iPhone!
Great find this app and forum, hopefully now I can help my school kids a bit more at my convenience if you know what I mean.

@GaryGadget To access the images, sounds, etc on iPhone you have to open the little copy-paste popup menu. In that menu you'll find another option which says 'Insert...'
-
Aha! Found it eventually. Thanks for that.

Cool, thanks for this. I'm just getting back into coding and this was fun to play with and make some changes and customize it.
