Project Description:

The Flappy Bird Clone is a browser-based remake of the popular mobile game "Flappy Bird", where a bird flies through gaps between pipes without hitting them. The player taps or clicks to keep the bird airborne and must pass through as many pipes as possible without crashing.

This project demonstrates game physics, collision detection, animations, and real-time input handling using only HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and optionally PHP/Java/Node.js for backend features like saving scores.

Technologies Used:

• Frontend:

  • HTML5 Canvas (for rendering graphics)

  • CSS3 (for styling game screen and buttons)

  • JavaScript (game logic, animation, collision detection)

• Backend (optional):

  • Node.js / PHP / Java (for storing high scores, user login)

  • MySQL / MongoDB (for leaderboard and user data)

Core Features:

1. Bird Physics:

   • The bird falls due to gravity and rises when the player taps or clicks.

2. Obstacle Generation:

   • Random pipes appear with gaps, scrolling from right to left.

3. Collision Detection:

   • Game ends when the bird hits a pipe or the ground.

4. Score Counter:

   • Increment score each time the bird successfully passes between pipes.

5. Game Over Screen:

   • Display final score and a “Restart” button.

6. Responsive Controls:

   • Mouse click or spacebar on desktop

   • Touch/tap support on mobile

7. Simple, Minimal UI:

   • Retro pixel-style visuals with smooth animations

 Optional Backend Features:

• Login/Register System for saving player scores

• Leaderboard showing top scores from all users

• Game History for individual players
