The Flappy Bird Game project in Java is a simple, interactive 
recreation of the popular mobile game "Flappy Bird." Developed 
using Core Java, this project aims to emulate the original 
gameplay experience where players control a bird navigating 
through a series of moving pipes by tapping or pressing a key to 
"flap" and avoid obstacles. The game combines basic principles of 
object-oriented programming, animation, and collision detection, 
providing an engaging way to demonstrate Java’s capabilities in 
game development. This project not only showcases Java’s 
potential for creating 2D games but also introduces key concepts 
like java swings, java awt, event handling, graphical rendering, 
and responsive controls.

COClRicEk tCo OedMit PMOasNteEr NtitTleS s tOylFe   THE GAME 
 Game Window
•  The game needs a window or ("frame") where all the action will happen.
•  In Java, you can use JFrame from the javax.swing package to create a 
window.
• Think of JFrame as the canvas where everything in the game will be 
displayed.
 Bird
•  The bird is the main character the player controls. It’s typically 
represented as a small rectangle or an image.
•  The bird has a position (x and y coordinates) and a velocity, which 
changes when it "flaps."
•  Gravity affects the bird by pulling it down, and every time the player 
presses a key, the bird “flaps” to move up.

 Collision Detection
• Collision detection checks if the bird hits a pipe or the ground.
• You can do this by checking if the bird's position overlaps with a 
pipe’s position or if it goes below the ground level.
 Pipes
• The pipes are obstacles that the bird has to avoid. Pipes move 
from right to left across the screen.
• Each pipe has a gap between the top and bottom parts for the bird 
to pass through.
• The pipes respawn at the right edge when they go off-screen to 
create a continuous flow of obstacles.

 Score System
• Every time the bird successfully passes a pipe, the score increases by 
1.
• You can track the score with an integer variable and update it when the 
bird crosses a pipe.
 Game Over and Restart
• When a collision is detected, display a "Game Over" message.
• You can reset the bird’s position, pipes, and score to restart the game.

Graphics Libraries:
javax.swing: Part of Java’s Standard API, javax.swing is used for creating the graphical user interface (GUI) components in 
the game, such as the game window and buttons. Components like JFrame, JPanel, and JLabel help structure the game's 
visual display.
java.awt: The Abstract Window Toolkit (java.awt) provides essential classes for drawing and handling events in the game. 
Classes such as Graphics, Color, and Font allow customization of game elements like the bird, pipes, and score display.
Image Handling:
javax.imageio.ImageIO: The javax.imageio.ImageIO library handles image loading and processing, allowing us to include 
visual elements (like the bird character, background, and obstacles) in the game. It simplifies loading external image files 
(JPEG, PNG) and renders them on the screen.

JAVA: Java is a programming language and a platform. Java is a high level, 
robust, object-oriented and secure programming language. Java is an object-
oriented, class-based, concurrent, secured and general-purpose computer-
programming language. It is a widely used robust technology.
 JAVA VIRTUAL MACHINE: As we know that all programming language 
compilers convert the source code to machine code. Same job done by Java 
Compiler to run a Java program, but the difference is that Java compiler 
convert the source code into Intermediate code is called as bytecode. This 
machine is called the Java Virtual machine and it exits only inside the 
computer memory.

VISUAL STUDIO CODE
Visual Studio code is a source code editor developed by Microsoft for 
Windows,  Linux and Mac OS. It includes support for debugging, 
embedded Git control syntax highlighting, intelligent code completion 
snippets code refactoring. 
It is also customizable, so users can change the editor theme keyboard 
shortcuts and preferences. The source code is free and open source 
and released under the premissive meet licence. The compiled binaries 
are freeware and free for private or commerical use.

JAVA SWING: Swing is Provided to Design Graphical User Interfaces.
•   Java Swing Components are Platform-independent, and The Swing Components 
are lightweight.
• Swing Supports a Pluggable look and feel and Swing provides more powerful 
components such as tables, lists, Scroll panes, Color chooser, tabbed pane, etc.
• Swing is Entirely written in Java.
• Swing is a Set of API (API- Set of Classes and Interfaces)
• Swing is an Extension library to the AWT (Abstract Window Toolkit)
• Includes New and improved Components that have been enhancing the looks 
and Functionality of GUIs’

• The Flappy Bird game project in core Java is a valuable learning experience that combines 
coding skills with game design basics. Through this project, we recreated the classic, 
challenging Flappy Bird gameplay while applying core Java concepts like object-oriented 
programming, graphics handling, and event-driven programming.
• By implementing features such as gravity, jumping, collision detection, and scorekeeping, 
we learned essential techniques used in game development.
• Overall, this project provided a fun way to improve Java skills, understand the basics of 
interactive programming, and create a playable game that encourages replayability. This 
hands-on project is a strong foundation for exploring more complex game development 
projects in the future.
