A young boy from England took his gaming obsession to a whole new level when he created his own real-life “Angry Birds” game. In the game of Angry Birds, the player shoots birds at pigs using a slingshot.
Sam Beards, a 12 year old from England, used to spend countless hours each day playing the infamous computer/cell phone game. After Sam discovered an old pumpkin cannon his father built for a previous Halloween, he asked his father, Dorian Beards, to help him build an Angry Birds game, utilizing the pumpkin cannon.
Together they painted various pumpkins to look like the birds and pigs from Angry Birds. They used old barrels and straw bales to build the playing field.
This real life version of Angry Birds is already attracting tons of visitors. Sam’s siblings, Jessica, Ben and Davy, are in charge of painting the pumpkins, while Sam fires the compressed air cannon which can shoot the pumpkins up to 1500feet.
Sam’s mother, Fiona, reckons that they might resurrect this game on a yearly basis around Halloween.
