Flappy Bird (Small Basic)

Recreation of Flappy Bird, written in Microsoft Small Basic (Original game created by Dong Nguyen)

Background

I built this while learning Small Basic in a high-school class 'Intro to Programming'. I wanted to challenge myself to code Flappy Bird in Microsoft Small Basic.

Started on 05/12/2019 on Finished on 15/12/2019

Prerequisites

• Download Small Basic [link: documentation (as of 2024)]

Local Development

Edit the FlappyBird.sb file, make sure to open it via the Microsoft Small Basic app

Warning: If you have any AV software enabled, it will most likely delete the FlappyBird.exe file, however, the program is harmless. I was required to temporarily disable mine to run/test the game. Even if the .sb file is run from Small Basic, it will also detect and remove that.

Future Improvements

• The program needs to restart each game, so it is functional, but not conveniently playable.
• Sound effects were left out because they are difficult to implement with Small Basic.
