🤔 Challenge!

Congratulations on finishing the tutorial! The next step is to add the following features:

  • The team members responsible for creating Myrtle and the Bird should add their own worlds.
  • Give Myrtle the ability to move backwards when the down arrow key is pressed.
  • Give Myrtle the ability to turn right when the right arrow key is pressed.

Now it is time to make this game your own! Below is a list of features you could add to your game, it’s up to you and your team to decide what you want to work on next.

Ideas (in no particular order):

  • At the moment food is an optional extra, can you work out how to make it a requirement to eat the food before reaching the umbrella in order to get to the next world?
  • Add more than one piece of food and/or make food randomly appear somewhere else in the grid when one piece is eaten.
  • Incorporate a timer somehow - maybe it is counting down and eating food gives you more time? Maybe you just have to make it through all the levels as fast as you can?
  • Only give Myrtle a certain number of lives - e.g. after the third collision with a bird you lose the game.

Extra challenging ideas:

  • Can you work out how to randomly generate the worlds rather than defining them in a list?
  • Give Myrtle a laser for destroying birds.
