Game Intro: Happy Humuhumunukunukuapua'a!
It's now time to create Happy Humuhumunukunukuapua'a - a spin on Flappy Bird, a familiar modern game where you play as Hawai‘i's state fish, swimming through an obstacle course! This game teaches you how to make a Start Screen, Gravity, Jumping, and much more. The original Flappy Bird game created by game designer Dong Nguyen was a world wide sensation when it first came out in 2013. Since then there have been many fan inspired game versions of the original. Our version has lots of cool Power Ups to code. Before we start why don't you try this game out first! |

The Humuhumunukunukuapua'a
▶ Pronounced (HOO-mu-HOO-mu-NOO-ku- NOO-ku-AH-pu-WAH-a)
▶ The Humuhumunukunukuapua`a can grow up to 10 inches!
▶ The reef triggerfish, also known as the rectangular triggerfish or by its Hawaiian name humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa or just humuhumu for short, is one of the most widely recognized of Hawaiian fishes.
▶ Roughly translated, the name Humuhumunukunukuapua‘a means "fish with a snout like a pig" and is believed to stem from the grunts a distressed humu makes, as well as its pig-like eating habits.
▶ The reef triggerfish is generally found in shallow outer reef habitats. ︎If you see one, say hi but keep your distance. They like to be left alone so they can look for food along the reef.
▶ In 1985 the Humuhumunukunukuapua`a was designated the official state fish of Hawai`i for a five year trial basis. In 2006, it finally became the official state fish on a permanent basis.

Legendary Connections
Much like Māui who was also able to shape shift into animals, there is another legend about a young boy who grew to be very famous in Hawaiian stories. His name is Kamapu‘a. Kamapu‘a learned at a very young age how to shape shift and chant from his tutu (grandmother). He was able to transform into a giant eight-eyed pig, and as he grew into manhood stories spread throughout the land about him. Kamapu‘a had many great adventures and battles especially with the great chief Olopana from Oahu.
Kamapu‘a is mostly know however for his love of the lava goddess Pele. There are stories of Pele rejecting him and some where they fell in love and have a child. Regardless, there is always a story of Pele in her lava fueled fury chasing Kamapu‘a.
At first, Kamapu‘a the man ran fast but Pele quickly caught up, then he transformed into a giant pig, but still she caught up! Finally finding himself cornered by the ocean, the fast thinking Kamapu‘a escaped Pele by diving into the water and transforming into a beautiful Humuhumunukunukuapua`a fish. Some stories say that he lived the rest of his days in the ocean. Others say he eventually came back to land and continued his adventures.
