[EV3] Flappy Bird

[laggyluk]

Hi

I've built sort of an arcade game. Controlled with single button, much like famous Flappy Bird.

Enjoy ;)

I've never had any Mindstorms, so I don't know how difficult it is to program, but in concept this looks pretty simple.

It would be cool if you could randomly generate the level somehow. But I have no idea how you would even accomplish that with LEGO.

Could be done but with a lot more money.. didn't even had enough bricks to build background or chassis

nice idea maybe you could use some scissorlift mechanism for the up/down movement, and then use the track links to make a longer game :)

Actually there's a "crane" in this design that was supposed to lift the track with obstacles a bit now and then. In the end I didn't connect it because collision detection was already dodgy

You could randomise using 3 tracks, stopped by default, then have the EV3 randomly choose which one to activate to move an into place obstacle?
