• Runs in Linux/macOS terminal
• Fully written in C with Makefile support

🎨 Demo

Here’s a simple demo of how it looks when running:

🧰 Requirements

Make sure you have:

• gcc (or another C compiler)
• make
• A Linux terminal (tested on Linux Mint)

⚙️ Installation

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/flappy-ascii.git
cd flappy-ascii

2. Build the project

make all

The executable will be created in a build/ folder.

🎮 Usage

Run the game using:

make run

Or manually using:

./build/flappy_bird

Controls:

• Press Space to make the bird jump
• Avoid the obstacles!

📝 How it works

• Written entirely in C using standard libraries for terminal input/output.
• Object files are generated in the build/ folder using the Makefile.
• The game loop handles:
  • Reading input
  • Updating game state
  • Printing ASCII frames in the terminal
• The project was designed as a learning exercise to practice C programming, game loops, and terminal graphics.
