🐦 Python-Flappybird-Game

A simple clone of the classic Flappy Bird game built using Python and Pygame.

🖼 Demo

🎮 Game Description

Flappy Bird is a side-scrolling arcade-style game where the player controls a bird attempting to fly between columns of pipes without hitting them. This implementation recreates the core mechanics and gameplay loop using Pygame.

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

Ensure you have Python installed. Then, install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

To launch the game, simply run:

python game.py

📚 Concepts Learned

During the development of this project, the following key game development concepts were explored:

🔁 Game Loop Structure

• Event Processing: Handling user input like key presses.
• Gameplay Processing: Updating game state (e.g. bird movement, collision detection).
• Rendering: Drawing the game elements to the screen every frame.

🎞️ Frames Per Second (FPS)

Understanding the importance of FPS for smooth gameplay, and how to control it using Pygame’s clock functionality.

🧭 Coordinate System in Pygame

• Origin (0, 0) is at the top-left corner.
• The X-axis increases to the right.
• The Y-axis increases downward.
