Angry Birds World Traveller
Well, everyone has been talking about an “Angry Birds 2: Revenge of the Pigs” -– an app where the pigs retaliate against the birds. While I may be biased (I’m a پرستار of the birds, not the pigs) I think this app is rather limited. Basically, what special abilities can the pigs have?
Our idea is سے طرف کی no means unique, but I think it is a possibility when we look at the “Mooncake Festival” episode of Seasons. A new app called “Angry Birds: World Traveler” with seven episodes (not necessarily 45 levels each, but between 15 and 45 is fine). The pigs steal the eggs outside of Helsinki (Espoo to be precise) and start catching planes, trains, and automobiles (and boats, but I wanted the movie reference) around the world.
Episode 1 – Europe
The pigs begin, of course, in Finland. Over the course of the episode, they flee from the Scandinavian Peninsula, پار, صلیب Germany and Poland, check out France, etc. etc. Of course, not every country in Europe can be represented (there are 50 of them), but if possible that would be cool as well. On one hand, it would be fun to see the sites. On the other, it would be educational for children. Kids and their parents could go through and see if they can name each country based on the background. The Parthenon in Greece, the Pope’s pad (aka St. Peter’s Basilica) in Vatican City, the Eiffel Tower in France, Big Ben in the UK, and many more. Either way, the birds and pigs would work their way east-to-west, eventually crossing the pond to…
Episode 2 – North America
Now, not just the good ol’ U.S. of A., but North America consists of 23 countries. We can go east-to-west to begin with, landing in New York and seeing some of the major cities in both the US and Canada (e.g., DC, Ottawa/Quebec/Montreal, Dallas/Fort Worth, Chicago, Winnipeg, Vancouver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles). The pigs then venture south of the border to Mexico City and Central America, Isthmus of Panama, and the Caribbean Islands. They continue their کشتی ride into…
Episode 3 – South America
South America only has 12 countries, so we can visit each a few times, but some of the sights there are amazing. My personal پسندیدہ is Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (you may recognize it from the splash page in the app “Rio”). We enjoy the mixture of mountains and jungles, stopping off in Venezuela, Chile, Ecuador, and Machu Picchu in Peru, working our way north-to-south. When we reach Buenos Aires, Argentina and کشتی our way to…
Episode 4 – Africa
We land in Cape Town, South Africa. After a quick stop in Madagascar, the pigs flee north to the temple at Yeha in Ethiopia in the east and the Tichitt Walata in Ghana in the west. After a long, tiring trek across the Sahara, the pigs arrive in Cairo, Egypt. Amidst the sea of sand, we see the pyramids and the Great Sphinx. (Which creature in the morning goes on four legs, at mid-day on two, and in the evening upon three, and the مزید legs it has, the weaker it be?) We arrive at the Suez Canal and پار, صلیب into…
Episode 5 – Asia
The Suez will bring آپ from Egypt into Israel. Again, probably too many countries to hit them all (48 of ‘em), but hitting the highlights is of course educational. We work our way west-to-east, seeing Mount Everest in Nepal, the Great دیوار in China, Eastern Russia (Moscow and St. Petersburg are technically in Europe, so be weary), and ending at Mount Fuji in Japan. The pigs then کشتی to some of the Pacific Islands on their way to…
Episode 6 – Australia and Oceania
This is a subtle distinction, but آپ can do your own research and figure out the exact geographical qualifications for the area, but I think the idea is clear. The pigs will be island-hopping, hitting a few of the major cities is Australia (especially the Great Barrier Reef), checking out the Maori architecture of New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and many of the other beautiful islands. Oceania is rather small (only 14 independent countries), so there would be a deal of repetition involved here. Nonetheless, delve southward (pack your coat) and arrive in…
Episode 7 – Antarctica
Now, I will concede, there probably isn’t much to see in Antarctica. But here are some fun facts. Antarctica is the largest desert in the world, مزید than 2 million square-miles larger than the Sahara, though Antarctica receives twice the annual precipitation (8 inches) than the Sahara (3.9 inches). Temperatures can dip to -129°F (-89°C). To no surprise, there are no permanent residents, but at any دیا time, مزید than 2000 people will be on the continent. But nonetheless, Antarctica is awesome because it has penguins, and penguins = awesome. The pigs could bundle up in heavy coats, scarves, and پینگوئن, پیںگان costumes. That sounds cool to me!
Of course, this فہرست is nowhere near complete. There are many other countries that I have not listed and I apologize if I left your country یا city off the list. I’m a mathematician, not a geographer یا historian; nor do I have the space to فہرست out every country in the world. But, in my opinion, this could be an awesome app! As a bonus, after completing a level, there could be an “information card” option that explains the background. For example, “The Eiffel Tower (1889), Paris, France” یا “Machu Picchu (15th c.), Urubamba Valley, Peru”.
Also included in this update is a direct link on the initial “Play” screen to Angry Birds دوستوں on Facebook. A minor addition, but still notable, as Rovio continues to plug their Facebook app.
