- Level 1: The player controls the bird to avoid the clouds Play Level 1
- Level 2: The difficulty increases, with faster clouds and the possibility of collecting items falling from the sky Play Level 2
This game was developed during the pandemic while I was part of the Aveiro STEAM City project at Fábrica Centro de Ciência Viva de Aveiro, as part of the Fica em Casa com Ciência initiative, within the Código, Robótica e Gaming program. This initiative provided children with the opportunity to learn programming from home, offering a safe and educational alternative to keep them engaged and learning.
Block-based programming in Scratch is intuitive and easy for children. They had the opportunity to watch tutorials, access the code, and learn how to create the game. This knowledge also enabled them to modify the game and develop new ones.
