This project is a recreation of the sidescrolling hit know as Flappy Bird! This solo project was developed in Unity using C# as part of my minigames series where I utilize various resources to remake simple games in order to further my learning as well as to have fun!
Flappy Bird consists of a simple scrolling level in which the player can tap to make the bird jump up from its fall. The goal of the game is to get the highest score possible by avoiding hitting the ground & pipes. For each pipe passed, the player gets a point added to their score!
In order to play this version of Flappy Bird, follow the link to a in-browser WebGL build (No download required!).
A brief description of all of the classes is as follows:
- The
GameControllerclass is a singleton class that handles many of the interactions such as the player state, game state, and the playing of audio. - The
Parallaxclass creates the effect of the Quad it is attached to having the appearance as if its texture is constantly moving. - The
Pipesclass handles the movement of the pipes left, as well as their destruction when they are offscreen. - The
Playerclass handles player input & movement, as well as checking for collisions. - The
Spawnerclass handles the spawning of pipes.

- Credit goes to Zigurous for the helpful base game tutorial!
- For the saving stats system, I made use of playprefs, here is some helpful scripting documentation on how that works!
- I derived my formula for calculating which medal to award based on this reference.
This game, like many of the others I have worked on, is completely free and made for fun and learning! If you would like to support what I do, you can donate at my metamask wallet address: 0x32d04487a141277Bb100F4b6AdAfbFED38810F40. Thank you very much!
