Summary

FlappyBird is a Java-based game that emulates the popular Flappy Bird game using the Swing library.

Description

FlappyBird is a classic arcade-style game where the player controls a bird attempting to fly through a series of obstacles. The game is implemented in Java and utilizes the Swing library for its graphical user interface.

Features:

• Simple Controls: The game uses the spacebar to control the bird’s movements.
• Engaging Gameplay: Players must navigate the bird through pairs of pipes, avoiding collisions to continue playing.
• Scoring System: The game tracks the player’s score based on the number of pipes successfully passed.

How It Works:

• The bird continuously falls due to gravity.
• Pressing the spacebar makes the bird flap its wings and rise.
• The game places pairs of pipes at regular intervals, with gaps that the bird must fly through.
• The game ends if the bird collides with a pipe or falls out of the screen.

Technical Details:

• Graphics: Custom images for the background, bird, and pipes.
• Collision Detection: The game checks for collisions between the bird and pipes to determine game over.
• Timers: The game uses timers to manage the game loop and pipe placement.
