Check out the blog post for lots of details on how this works!

flappy-dird

An implementation of flappy bird in MacOS's Finder.

To play:

• Clone the repo
• Run flap.py first-time-setup (flap.py has no dependencies)
• Open Finder and navigate to the directory where you put this code
• Set the display mode to list view
• Open the directory buf1 and sort the window by "Date Modified", ascending (arrow pointing up). Do the same thing with buf2.
  • The game will look really weird if you don't do this!!
• Run osascript ./flappy-dird.applescript
• Find the Finder window you opened, play the game.

I will very happily take pull requests if they add new functionality, fix bugs, or are funny.
