Overview

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!

Code

A brief description of all of the classes is as follows:

• The GameController class is a singleton class that handles many of the interactions such as the player state, game state, and the playing of audio.
• The Parallax class creates the effect of the Quad it is attached to having the appearance as if its texture is constantly moving.
• The Pipes class handles the movement of the pipes left, as well as their destruction when they are offscreen.
• The Player class handles player input & movement, as well as checking for collisions.
• The Spawner class handles the spawning of pipes.
