REFLECTION
Using a Micro:bit, I created a version of Flappy Bird because I wanted to learn how to code on the device. While working on this project, I learned how to program the Micro:bit and even how to make it play a song. It was fun to see my code turn into a real, working game.
Our class focuses on seven standards: Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project connects most to the Innovative Designer standard because I used the tools in the classroom to design and build my own version of Flappy Bird.
One challenge I faced during this project was generating the obstacles for the game. At first, I couldn’t figure out how to make them appear correctly. I solved this problem by watching a few YouTube tutorials and learning how other people coded similar features.
If I had the chance to do this project again, I would change the Micro:bit itself. I didn’t really like the way it felt or how it handled while coding the game. Using a different device might make the project more enjoyable for me.
Hastings High School’s Career and Technical Education Program offers many pathways, including Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, and Marketing. My project connects to the Computer Programming pathway because I used coding skills to create a working game.
This project also connects to careers in computer programming. Programmers write code to make machines and software work, and I did something similar by coding my Micro:bit game. It gave me a small look at what real programmers do in their jobs.
