FlappyBird

Flappy Bird clone.

Written in C++ using the SFML graphics library

Controls:

• Space or Left Mouse Click to jump
• R to restart
• Esc to pause

Prerequisites

• g++ 4.8 or above
• GNU Make
• SFML 2.5.1 or above [www.sfml-dev.org]

Linux

• You can run these commands on linux to install g++, Make and SFML

$ sudo apt-get install g++
$ sudo apt-get install make
$ sudo apt-get install libsfml-dev

Windows

• Install the proper SFML version from the website (MinGW version for GNU Make build or Visual C++ for MS Build)
• Unzip the SFML downloaded folder ( You can install 7zip to be able to unzip )

GNU Make

• Install GNU Make by installing chocolatey package manager and running this command from an elevated Command Prompt:

$ choco install make

• Install MinGW g++ MinGW 32-bit or MinGW 64-bit (The SFML version and the MinGW version have to match)

• After unzipping the MinGW file, add your path to mingw32/bin or mingw64/bin to PATH in the system environmental variables

• Edit the SFML_DIR in the Makefile to add your correct SFML folder or copy the folder to the project directory and name the folder 'SFML'

MS Build

• Visual Studio 15 or above
• VC++ 15 or above

Building

GNU Make (Method used)

• Download source code

• Open your terminal in your project directory where the Makefile exists

• Run Make in your terminal:

$ make

• List of make commands you can use

# Build and run in release mode
$ make

# Build and run in debug mode
$ make debug && make run

# Rebuild in release or debug mode
$ make rebuild

# or 
$ make rebuild-debug

# Clean the files
$ make clean

# Run the latest compiled build
$ make run

MS Build

1. Add the </path/to/sfml_folder/>/include to your additional C++ include directories.

2. Add </path/to/sfml_folder/>/lib to your additional library directories.

3. Add the SFML libraries used to your additional dependencies

   eg: sfml-graphics.lib;sfml-system.lib;sfml-window.lib;sfml-audio.lib;

4. Add the dlls in your SFML path/bin along with your executable

flappybird's Issues

collision is bugging, bounding box collision is too inaccurate

collision is buggy, bunding box collision is too inaccurate

game should support different screen sizes

Implement Bird jumping and not the "hold spacebar to go up" approach
