Welcome to the whimsical world of Flappy Bird! This charming prototype has been crafted over a weekend, allowing you to experience the simple joys of avoiding obstacles while navigating through the skies. It’s important to note that while it’s a fun prototype, it’s not a fully developed game. So, let’s dive into how you can control Flappy Bird and make it soar!

Getting Started

This prototype runs best in Chrome, so make sure you have it open. Currently, it may not perform as expected in Firefox. To start playing, follow the instructions below:

• Avoid the Obstacles: Press the space bar on your keyboard to make Flappy Bird flap upward and navigate through the gaps between obstacles.
• Quit the Game: Press the q key to exit the game at any time.
• Restart the Game: If you hit an obstacle or touch the bottom of the screen, press the r key to restart the game.

Understanding the Code Behind Flappy Bird

While this blog doesn’t delve deeply into the code, imagine creating Flappy Bird as building a simple bird-shaped kite. You need to ensure that each string holding the kite is neither too tight nor too loose. If it’s too tight, the kite can’t soar up; if it’s too loose, it might crash to the ground. In the same way, the code behind Flappy Bird defines how the bird interacts with gravity and obstacles, ensuring it flaps and maneuvers smoothly while responding to player inputs.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter issues while playing, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Ensure you are using the latest version of Chrome for optimal performance.
• Restart the browser if the game does not respond to controls.
• If the game crashes or doesn’t start, check your browser extensions, which might interfere with the game’s performance.
