Flappy Bird - Python Game ReDesign 2-Day Hackathon

Flappy Bird is a great game, but it’s a bit old. Together, we are going to create new spins on that addictive game.

We will start with Flappy Bird as a base. Then fork from there as we brainstorm new ideas together.

Here’s the format…

• We will arrive at Cross Campus at 6PM, December 7th
• Meet, Greet & Eat
• Then we will start brainstorming improvements to the game
• We will post those on a big board
• You will then join the idea you want to create, thereby forming a team
• You will then get with your team, plan the build, and get to typing
• You can stay as late as you want/need (Cross Campus has showers)
• We will pause periodically during the hack-a-thon to review each other's work
• At 4PM the next day, (Dec 8th) we will stop, show our work, distribute them for play, and celebrate our collective awesomeness!
