Flappy Tim - Part One

If you are just getting started, be sure to read Contraption Maker Modding Guide first.

The very first mod we at Spotkin decided to make is the new “Hello, World” of games - a clone of the game “Flappy Bird”. We were amazed at how little code it took. Let’s walk through the construction of “Flappy Tim” step by step.

The first thing you need to do is create a simple level with a Toolman Tim and a wall piece as a floor. Then you will need to give Toolman Tim a script name so that we can access him from the script. You do this by clicking the script button after selecting Toolman Tim.

Clicking that button brings up a dialog where you can enter the name. We’ll call him “FlappyTim”.
