Does It Fly? - A game based on the popular Indian folk game "Chidiya Udd", meaning, Does Bird Fly? with the purpose of helping kids learn which birds & animals can fly through this fun & interactive game. Alexa will also give you fun facts within the companion app about the asked animal/bird along with the sound they make to continue the learning.
Hi,
I am an engineering undergrad from India, majoring in Information Technology at Delhi University. I like to make web apps, but recently caught the bug of making Alexa Skills.
As an Indian, I too like most of us played the Indian folk game called Chidiya Udd in my childhood. Countless moments of my childhood were spent playing this simple yet awesome game. It is one of the most adored games ever. It is a game that no one ever grows too old to play and also, one that none can be too tired of playing. So, to relish my favorite childhood challenge and bring it to more people of different locales, I decided to make an Alexa Skill around this game.
Now in this skill, Alexa will ask you a question, and you have to tell whether the asked animal or bird or object flies or not. You have to respond with a Yes or No. If you are able to answer all of them correctly, you win, else Alexa wins. If you respond incorrectly, you lose and Alexa will greet you with the asked animal's or bird's sound and tell you how many you got correctly.
Alexa will also give you fun facts within the companion app about the asked animal along with the sound they make to continue the learning.
And if you just want to know what sound does the animal makes, you can ask the skill for "What does the (animal's/bird's name) say" to hear the sound they make. If you want to hear any other animal's sound, ask again, or to start playing the "Does It Fly?" game just tell Alexa your name.
Do let me know if you have any suggestions or feedback or any regarding this Alexa Skill!
