Flappy Bird - Arcade Edition - (cab friendly game)

[abispac]

No ofence but this one dosnt look like the original, and the game also dosnt feel like it either.

In what way doesn't it feel like or look like the original? 

And no offense taken, I don't really care if anyone likes it or not.  I only made it for my own machine.  For me, it's the only pc version that works so I guess I'm the only one who appreciates it.

the one that slhomme posted, it does looks alot like the original, yours loos like a mockup of it, its the same, but they both look diferent, i prefer the orifinal look alike ,but i wish i can put everything togheter as you did, you did a great job.

Might be a while until the next update, but any suggestions in the mean time will be taken onboard for when I do get back up and running again.

The Physics don't feel as natural as the real game or the verion from slhomme. Also after "inserting a coin" the game should not start but show the explanation screen. If you

That was (semi) intentional.  I didn't think the flapping motion in the original was realistic, as the bird moves quite a distance between flaps very much unlike a real bird of that size.  I say (semi) intentional, because I've done this without even thinking about it, and it's only come to my attention since you've mentioned it.  It probably reminds me more of the original copter game that this is loosely based on.  The explanation screen was omitted on purpose and a little lazy on my part.  I wasn't able to draw a very good arcade button like in slhomme's version, so I left it out, and I assumed everyone would know how to play flappy bird.  I guess aesthetically that's probably not the point.  The whole coin idea was just my attempt to bring it more inline with an "arcade feel", but if this is more of an annoyance I'm better off removing it.  I might be better off just changing this to insert coin to play, but not putting up a count of the coins, inserting coin will just take it to the get ready info screen...

I'm attaching here the "instructions" images I'm using in my version. Feel free to use them in your version. Good job on the game, it's a little different from the original version that's right, but the fact that it's full screen is great. Hopefully I'll find time to make a full screen version too soon.

Cheers.

I've created a new version....

Added features include random bird, and night mode...

In fact that's the only 2 features I've updated lol

I'll take this opportunity to thank slhomme for providing the 'instructions' screen...

[Thenasty]

love the update. Much Much better....

Only H Z X SPACE BAR keys worked.... I would rather have no KEYS and only SPACE BAR and ENTER keys to work. the ESC key is good (leave that alone).


THANKS, keeping an eye out on your program (never played this game even with all the hype back then).

I like this version, I think its more playable to me (easier). I don't want it like the others. I don't want to break my screen, mouse, keyboard or someone (like some of this videos/news about the game).

[Thenasty]

any way to make a change on the hi-score screen ?

First pic is how it is.... the second is my recommendation.

[Thenasty]

better yet....

Ah well you see I designed it for a cab, mine specifically.  It should be set to 0,9, H, Z,X and space and left mouse click (just for testing).  These keys respond to buttons 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 for player 1 on my cab.   

better yet....

yeah that's loads better, that is also more like the original and I can squeeze in a "new" badge for when a user gets a new high score.  By the way I'm not sure if this is working, but I set up a gold medal if you get a high score and a normal white medal if you don't..

[Thenasty]

how about making your own custom controls ?

So anyone can customize it to their cab layout.

[Thenasty]

anyone out there reading this, I'm also interested in PLAIN DOS version (I'll shove it in my DOS CAB)

Great Job! I've tested it and I think it's very funny!!
One question: In what programming language have you programmed the game?

Thanks very much!

[ballboff]

I used a program called stencyl.  No programming required, just logic (an understanding of variables and if statements). 

Great Job! I've tested it and I think it's very funny!!

[empardopo]

Thanks for answer me.
I didn't know that program. Yourr game is very funny!
Btw, perhaps I am wrong but I have played some times with flappy 2 and I think that version doesn't store the score.

Thanks and congratulations for your game.

[empardopo]

Thank you for creating this. The kids love it! A leaderboard would be a great addition. I think it is even better to have a logo (with your credits?) at startup and the help screen with the tap instructions only after a credit is entered instead of immediately start the game.

I added it to my Hyperspin setup and extended my HyperMap application to be able to launch it from the MAME menu just like I added Fix It Felix Jr and Space Commander, 2 other great additions from this forum...

EMDB, I have a question... What game is Space Commander?
Thanks in advance!

According your avatar You're Spanish right!? I'm very sorry to tell you I'm Dutch 

[empardopo]

Yes unfortunately, no one can choose where to be born. :-)

[SavannahLion]

But anyway, I'm happy to share my version, cause it's pretty fun do play it on a cab. Here's the link:

Download: http://bit.ly/1cjX6Qi

I might make a few improvements soon (like a leaderboard!)

PS: the zip files include a settings.ini that you can edit to make it "free play" or decide how many lives per credit.

Seems the link redirects to a different site.

[slhomme]

Oops sorry about that, I just updated the link, give it an other try, this should work this time!

[Smudge418]

hello

has anyone got a link that works

thank you

[Endprodukt]

I'd appreciate a link

[JDFan]

I'd appreciate a link

Here's a 7zip of it - I'm not sure it is the latest version he made but is one I had downloaded back when the thread was posted a couple years ago ( file dates show 03/2014) that I still had on my system ( hopefully if it is outdated he will come back and post a working link to the latest version but this one should at least get it to you.)

[Minjarmio90]

Hi, I'm writing in this post, to see if someone could send me the Flappy Bird files with the latest update that was sent through these links, I've been looking and I can't find it anywhere, someone still has the files that they could share with me.

 I would appreciate it very much!
