Lecture1 by Mit cs50

This document summarizes a lecture on Flappy Bird. It introduces topics like sprites, infinite scrolling, procedural generation, state machines, and mouse input. It then demonstrates updates to a Flappy Bird clone over 12 iterations, covering additions like parallax scrolling, gravity, anti-gravity, infinite randomly-generated pipes, collisions, state machines, scoring, countdown, audio, and mouse control. It outlines future updates and assigns randomizing pipe gaps and intervals as well as implementing medals and pausing.
