Remake of classic Flappy Bird
Using Unity 2D
Using Unity 2D
Flappy Bird is played just like it was on mobile in this PC remake. Press spacebar or right click to give the bird an upward boost while avoiding the tube obstacles, ceiling, and ground. Jumps are unlimited and the level is infinite. The difficulty increases every 10 tube pairs with smaller gaps and faster tube spawns. A maximum difficulty is reached at tube pair 40.
This project taught me how to organize things early on for a full game. The game is complete with UI, game over window, main menu screen, and loading screen. I learned how to create several scripts to: rotate prefabs, control a UI Canvas, use UI text and buttons, animate UI elements, create persistent data, add scene transitions, use enums for game state and difficulty, and make use of euler angles to make bird seem top heavy.
Upon loading, the game will wait for input before starting to flop to bird forward. The score UI (top center) increases when the bird passes a pipe pair. Pipe data is stored in a prefab class that includes pipe gap size, speed, and other logic to move and deactivate the pipe pair. The ground is made of three identical prefabs that cycle in a closed loop offscreen. Clouds work just like the ground with three cloud variations.
Dying will trigger an animated pop up Game Over window that has buttons to reload the scene or go to a Main Menu scene. The high score is updated at this time and a new high score message will be shown if the previous high score has been beaten. A loading scene was added for switching between scenes. The Main Menu scene has two buttons: play and quit.
