Flappy Bird Java

This is a simple Flappy Bird game clone implemented in Java using Swing for the graphical user interface. The game involves navigating a bird through a series of pipes without colliding with them.

Features

• Graphics: The game uses simple 2D graphics to render the bird, pipes, and background.
• Game Mechanics: The bird moves upwards when the spacebar is pressed and falls due to gravity. Pipes move from right to left, and the player scores points by successfully passing through them.
• Collision Detection: The game detects collisions between the bird and pipes, ending the game if a collision occurs.
• Score Tracking: The player's score is displayed on the screen, and the game ends with a "Game Over" message showing the final score.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Java Development Kit (JDK) 8 or higher
• An IDE or text editor for Java development (e.g., IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, VSCode)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Nipuna-Lakruwan/Flappy-Bird-Java.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd Flappy-Bird-Java/Flappy\ Bird\ Game/src

3. Run the application:

   java App

Project Structure

• App.java: This is the entry point of the application. It sets up the main game window and initializes the FlappyBird game panel.
• FlappyBird.java: This file contains the main game logic, including rendering graphics, handling user input, and managing game state.

How to Play

• Press the spacebar to make the bird jump.
• Avoid hitting the pipes as they move across the screen.
• The game ends when the bird collides with a pipe or the ground.
• Your score increases by 1 for each set of pipes you pass.

Assets

The game uses the following image assets:

• flappybirdbg.png: Background image
• flappybird.png: Bird image
• toppipe.png: Image for the top pipes
• bottompipe.png: Image for the bottom pipes

Ensure these images are located in the same directory as the compiled Java files for the game to load them correctly.
