Flappy Bird

The original pixel landscape and bird now sit behind readable menus, clear help, a proper pause state and visible retry actions. Mouse and keyboard controls lead to the same game states.

Run it

Build the examples with devenv shell -- lcom-ng-build, then run:

lcom-ng run -- build/examples/flappy_bird

Try a complete workflow

Start from the menu, flap to stay inside pipe gaps, and watch the score. Pause during a run or retry after a crash without navigating through an unrelated screen.

Controls

• Space, Up, or a mouse click flaps.
• P pauses; Space, Enter, P, or a click resumes.
• F1 or H shows instructions. R retries a crash. Escape quits.
• Arrow keys or Tab select a menu option; Enter or click activates it.

What it demonstrates

Input edges, PIT motion, collision detection, scoring, state transitions and audio hooks.

Flaps are discrete actions. Releasing the key between flaps matters in deterministic scripts.
