play floppy bird

If you missed the Flappy Bird hype, here's your chance to try the best vintage knockoff.

Features

• 🎉 good ol' div's for all the objects and graphics,
• 🖥 scales perfectly on almost any screen, both mobile and desktop,
• 💩 unoptimized, laggy, and not nearly as fast as a canvas implementation,
• 👷‍♂️ a typescript version that does almost nothing better over at ts-floppybird!

Enjoy.

Slow motion bird

The bird is really slow compared to the game. It should be fixed

Move global variables to local scope

Instead of polluting the global scope I think it would be more reasonable to at the very least move the script into its own module. Is this something that I can send a pull request for, or is there a different way you'd like this tackled? Thanks.

How to make the game go faster?

Hi,

I am really liking this game, but the time the pipes etc. need to approach me is too slow for my taste. Is there are way to make it faster?

How I can optimize this game so I can play on android device

Dear nebez,

I have been to trying rework your game so can run with properly on android device but still failed. What I should do to optimize this game so can play without slow on any android devices?

Fullscreen on browser

The game is squished on desktop computer browsers and i can't quite figure out making it fullscreen(i set flyarea to 100% height, and changed the box code to this:
var padding = 80;
var constraint = (window.innerHeight - 200) - pipeheight - (padding * 2); //double padding (for top and bottom)
var topheight = Math.floor((Math.random() * 360 + padding)); //add lower padding
var bottomheight = (window.innerHeight - pipeheight) - topheight - (window.innerHeight / 4);

any suggestions?

Browser support

I've noticed that the game is unplayable in the latest version of Firefox and Safari.
The bird drops way too slow, causing it to crash at the pipes. Any idea how this could be fixed?

Pipe cap offset...

Hello I am wondering what parimiters drive the placement of the upper and lower pipe caps.

They seem to be offset when I place them into another container...
