Scratch - Membuat Game Flappy Bird

Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through creating a Flappy Bird game using Scratch, a visual programming language designed for beginners. By following these steps, you'll learn the basics of game design and programming in Scratch while having fun developing your own version of this classic game.

Step 1: Set Up Your Scratch Project

• Go to the Scratch website and log in or create an account.
• Click on "Create" to start a new project.
• Delete the default sprite (the cat) by right-clicking on it and selecting "delete."

Step 2: Choose Your Sprites

• Click on the "Choose a Sprite" button to select your main character (the bird).
• Search for a bird sprite or upload your own.
• Add a background by clicking on the "Choose a Backdrop" button and selecting a suitable backdrop for your game.

Step 3: Program the Bird's Movement

• Select the bird sprite and go to the "Code" tab.
• Drag the following blocks into the scripting area:
  • When green flag clicked
    • Set the bird's initial position using go to x: [0] y: [0].
  • Forever loop:
    • Add if key [space] pressed then change y by [10] for upward movement.
    • Add change y by [-5] for gravity effect.

Step 4: Create Obstacles

• Click on "Choose a Sprite" and select a pipe or create a new sprite for the obstacles.
• Position the pipe sprite off-screen at the top.
• Use a combination of go to and forever blocks to move the pipes across the screen.
  • Use change x by [-5] to continuously move the pipes left.
• To create a gap for the bird to fly through, adjust the vertical position of your pipe sprite.

Step 5: Add Collision Detection

• With the bird sprite selected, use the following blocks:
  • If touching [pipe sprite] then:
    • Add stop all to end the game if the bird hits a pipe.
• To make the game more interactive, consider adding a score when the bird successfully passes through pipes.

Step 6: Implement Scoring System

• Create a variable named "Score."
• Increase the score when the bird successfully passes through pipes:
  • Use change [Score] by [1] when the bird is not touching the pipe.
• Display the score on the screen by checking the "Show Variable" option.

Step 7: Polish Your Game

• Add sound effects for jumping and scoring to enhance the experience.
• Test your game thoroughly to ensure everything works as expected.
• Make adjustments to the speed of the pipes or the gravity effect to balance the game difficulty.

Conclusion

You've successfully created your own Flappy Bird game in Scratch! This project not only introduces you to basic programming concepts but also allows you to express your creativity. To expand your skills, consider adding more features like multiple levels, different backgrounds, or new sprites. Happy coding!
