Flappy Bird Game

Flappy Bird is a simple yet addictive game where players control a bird trying to fly through obstacles without hitting them. This game has been one of the most popular games for years.

The game mechanics rely on basic physics with velocity and acceleration controlling the bird’s motion. The pipes are randomly generated with varying heights. A simple counter has been added to achieve the highest score.

The game was initially developed using Processing, a powerful sketch-based framework for creative coding, known for its ease of use in prototyping visual applications. To deploy the game on the web, the project was adapted to p5.js, a JavaScript library based on Processing, allowing integration with HTML and web technologies. The canvas rendering is handled through the p5.js framework, using key event listeners and a main game loop to control animations, collision detection, and user interactions.

Additional features, such as custom sprite animations, are implemented using p5.js methods like loadImage(), further enhancing the gameplay experience. Future improvements could include implementing a leaderboard using a backend service with REST APIs as used in other projects and introducing more complex procedural generation for increased difficulty over time.
