1 Project Title
Flappy Bird Game

2 Project Description
Flappy Bird is a popular mobile game where the player controls a bird, attempting to fly
between pipes without touching them. The game gained immense popularity due to its simple
yet addictive mechanics. The primary goal of this project is to demonstrate fundamental
concepts of Java programming such as object-oriented design, GUI development, event
handling, and animation.

3 Objective
The objective of the Flappy Bird game developed in Java is to:

 Recreate the classic Flappy Bird game using Java Swing for graphical user interface (GUI)
development.
 Implement core game mechanics such as gravity, jumping, pipe movement, collision de-
tection, and score tracking.
 Enhance programming skills in Java by designing and implementing game features step
by step.

3.1 Scope of the Work

 User-Friendly GUI: An intuitive interface designed with Java Swing to guide users step-
by-step.

3.2 Project Modules

 The user can press the spacebar to start the game.
 The bird is under the influence of gravity, and the user can make the bird jump by
pressing the spacebar.
 Pipes move from right to left, with a gap for the bird to pass through.
 If the bird collides with a pipe or the ground, the game ends.
 The user can restart the game by pressing the spacebar button.

3.3 Context Diagram

4 Implementation Methodology
 Requirement Analysis: Identify features and user needs.
 Design: Create wireframes and choose suitable templates.
 Development: Build the GUI using Java Swing, implement modules, and integrate func-
tionality.

5 Technologies to be used
 Programming Language: Java
 GUI Framework: Java Swing
 Graphics: Buffered Image for rendering the game components
 Game Loop: Timer-based game loop for continuous updating of game objects
 Collision Detection: Detecting collisions between the bird and the pipes using simple
geometric checks.

5.1 Software Platform

a) Java Development Kit (JDK 8 or higher)
b) Command prompt

5.2 Hardware Platform

 Processor: Intel Core i5 or higher
 Storage: 500MB free space
 RAM: 4GB RAM
 Window 7/8/10 and above
 64-bit OS

6 System Design
The game is designed with several key components:

 Bird:
The character controlled by the player. The bird is affected by gravity and can jump
when a key event occurs (e.g., pressing the spacebar).
 Pipes:
Obstacles that the bird must navigate through. They continuously move from right to
left across the screen.
 Background:
A repeating background that gives the illusion of motion.
 Score:
Displays the current score based on how many pipes the bird has successfully passed.

7 Class Design
1. Main Class:
Initializes the game and starts the game loop.
2. Bird Class:
Represents the bird character, handles movement and collision.
3. Pipe Class:
Represents the pipes, manages their generation and movement.
4. Game Panel Class:
Handles rendering and game updates.
5. Score Class:
Tracks and displays the player's score.

8 Game Panel
This is the core of the game where all components (bird, pipes, background, etc.) are drawn and
updated. It handles:

 The game loop.

 Managing the bird and pipes.
 Handling key events like jumping and starting the game.
 Drawing the game state to the screen.

9 Game Mechanics
 Gravity:
The bird is affected by gravity, which makes it fall when the player is not pressing the
spacebar.
 Jumping:
When the spacebar is pressed, the bird’s velocity is adjusted to make it jump upwards,
counteracting gravity.
 Collision Detection:
The game checks if the bird collides with pipes or the ground. If a collision occurs, the
game ends.
 Pipe Movement:
Pipes move from right to left at a constant speed. As the pipes exit the screen, new
pipes are generated, creating an endless loop.
 Scoring:
The player earns points when the bird passes through the gap between pipes. The score
is incremented when the bird successfully navigates through.

10 Advantages of this Project

 To reduce the stress level.
 For enhancing concentration.
 Ensures data accuracy through real-time validation.

11 Testing
Test case:

1. Bird Movement:
o Input: Key press
o Expected Outcome: Bird flaps upward.
2. Pipe Collision:
o Input: Bird collides with a pipe.
o Expected Outcome: Game over.
3. Score Increment:
o Input: Bird passes through pipes.
o Expected Outcome: Score increases by 1.

12 Challenges and Solutions

 Collision Detection:
Detecting collisions between the bird and the pipes or ground was handled using simple
bounding box checks (rectangular area overlap).

 Game Over Handling:

The game over logic is simple: check if the bird’s coordinates intersect with any pipe or
if the bird falls below the ground.
 Performance Optimization:
The game uses a Timer to update the game objects at fixed intervals (20ms or 50 frames
per second) to ensure smooth animation and responsiveness.

13 Future Scope and further enhancement of the Project

 Add multiple levels with increasing difficulty.
 Implement sound effects and music.
 Add more complex graphics (bird animation, pipe design).
 Implement a leaderboard to store high scores.

16 Conclusion
This project successfully recreates the Flappy Bird game using Java. Through this project,
the importance of concepts like game loops, collision detection, and graphical rendering
in a game environment was clearly demonstrated. The project not only helped in
mastering Java programming techniques but also in understanding how to develop
interactive and real-time applications.
