Flappy Bird Prototype

OVERVIEW:

This project is a Flappy Bird inspired prototype designed by a solo dev. Rather than focusing on visuals, the goal was to build a clean, maintainable game architecture.

WHAT I WORKED ON:

• Designed and implemented the core gameplay
• Built a fixed game state system (Menu -> Playing -> Game Over -> Restart)
• Implemented event-driven UI systems (score, restart, transitions)

Technical & Design Focus:

The main challenge was preventing the project from becoming tightly coupled despite its simplicity. I address this by separating responsibilities:

• A central Game Manager
• Independent UI controllers reacting to state changes
• Gameplay systems that have no knowledge of any UI logic whatsoever

Controls

• Space / Left Click: Flap

Additional notes:

This prototype was created as a systems exercise, focusing more on ease of understanding and scalability rather than aesthetics.
