Flappy Birdo

[Jerom]

Nothing original, just another clone of Flappy Bird

- difficulty level menu (FAST is the easiest difficulty)
- sound can be muted ingame with "B"
- highscore is saved for each level (is not saved in .sav file though, but only when the game is loaded).

I'd consider changing the name, just in case good old Dong Nguyen gets mad.( What a name.)
Be lucky that he isn't a Big Company.
Also, not everyone has 7-Zip (They should, really.), so I would consider making it a .zip .
Finally, whenever I die and it sends me back to the Title Screen, I have to reset the console for it to work(I recommend checking out my Smash and Crash code for a good example).

Still, great game. It actually has sound, great graphics, and good gameplay (CURSE YOU, FIRST PIPE!).

Hehehe I'll take risk and keep the name (Hundred of clones with spoof names has been made during several game-jams this last year...)

Also, not everyone has 7-Zip (They should, really.), so I would consider making it a .zip .

Good suggestion (yeah, a 7-zip file has a better compression than zip file...).

Finally, whenever I die and it sends me back to the Title Screen, I have to reset the console for it to work(I recommend checking out my Smash and Crash code for a good example).

Thank you, I was searching an example indeed!

Edit... so I just have to put gb.changegame() into void initGame()?! that's really easy!

Code: Select all

void setup() {
  gb.begin();
  gb.titleScreen(titleBitmap);
}
void initGame() {
  gb.changeGame();
}

Hi ,

it's not a good idea to go to the game selection.

i modify you code to return to the title screen :

Code: Select all

//SETUP
void setup() {
  gb.begin();
  initGame();
}
void initGame() {
  gb.titleScreen(titleBitmap);
  gb.pickRandomSeed();
  gb.titleScreen(titleBitmap);
  gb.pickRandomSeed(); //randomize an original random every restart.
  pipesStart(); //each pipes starts at a random height.
  //gb.changeGame(); //Really reset the game without pressing "C" two times...
  //gb.titleScreen(F("FLAPPY BIRD clone\n \n\ ARROWS+A to fly.\n C to reset."));
  //gb.battery.show = false;
  player_y = ((LCDHEIGHT - GROUNDH) / 2); //the player starts at the middle of the LCD screen height minus the ground height.
  gravity = 0; //gravity variable.
  player_death = false;
  player_animation = 0;
  score = 0;
  score_timer = - PLAYERX - (PLAYERW / 2);
  score_units = 0;
  int score_maxreached = 0;
  gameover_timer = 0;
}

Thank you for your help, the files are fixed!
So I understand why it's better to reset each variables, but why the previous solution wasn't a good idea?

[Skyrunner65]

The way that I have done it is this:

Code: Select all

void loop(){
  gb.battery.show = false;
  switch(gb.menu(menu, MENULENGTH)){
    case -1: //nothing selected
      titlescreen();
      break;
    case 0: //Load Survival
      gb.display.print(F("    Loading...."));
        gb.pickRandomSeed();
        playerx = 20;
        playery = 20;
        playerflip = NOFLIP;
        playerxv = 2;
        playeryv = 1;
        playergrav = 1;
        meteory = 0;
        meteorx = random(0,76);
        arrowx = 0;
        arrowy = random(20,40);
        alive = true;
        play();
      break;

That's an excerpt from my code.
This sets up variables for the game itself.
Note the play() part; That links over to my player.ino:

Code: Select all

void play(){
  while(true){
    if(gb.update()){
      if(alive == true){
        frames = frames + 1;
       

This is the beginning of the play() function.
The alive variable tell the game they are still alive or dead.
Say I hit a meteor:

Code: Select all

        if(gb.collideBitmapBitmap(playerx, playery, player, meteorx, meteory, meteor) == true){
          alive = false;
        };

Okay, I'm dead. Now what?

Code: Select all

if(alive == false){
        gb.display.setFont(font3x5);
        gb.display.cursorX = 0;
        gb.display.cursorY = 0;
        gb.display.println("You died!");
        ......
        if (gb.buttons.pressed(BTN_B)){
          gb.sound.playCancel();
          frames = 0;
          gb.display.setFont(font5x7);
          break;
          break;
          break;
          };
        };
      };
    };
  };

When the player presses B, it does a few things, then breaks out of the play() function and back to the menu (shown above).
This essentially makes a loop. Got it?

Really? I have it so that you only really need to see the title screen once, and instead of a button labeled "Title Screen", there is "Change Game".

My english is not very weel and my word could misunderstood.

I would tell , if you return to the loader each time you die the player became crazy.

mainly for a die and retry game.

moreover my code is not very well (I do it very fast for my daughter).

I can forget initialization variable (the position of game over screen for exemple)


otherwise I find the games very cool!

a dificulty choice will be very appreciate. (change speed of the bird for exemple)


thx for the share jerom !

Oh ok, I see what you mean! Unless the player press 'C', I should skip the titlescreen everytime the player die, and start the level directly at the beginning, with the bird already flying. Indeed, it's faster in this way!

It's coded now, and I'll try to add a difficulty selection screen for the next version.

[clement]

I just test the new version and it is good. I prefer the faster mode
