gorf68 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Hello all, I made a quick Vectrex version of flappy bird over a few nights this week. It started as a bit of a laugh but it's actually quite playable. I will put the binary up on my blog at http://garrysgamingblog.blogspot.co.uk/p/programming-projects.html after I tydy it up a bit, if anybody is interested.

gorf68 Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 P.s. ... Yes, I KNOW it looks like a trigger-fish. Flappy fish!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I forgot to comment on the Vectrex boards, but you have seen the version that someone else wrote? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50TBRD Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I think its interesting when 2 different people program different version of the same game. Like Hex and Vectrexagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorf68 Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) I didn't know it existed untill after I wrote this. The other version is much more polished, and much closer to the original gameplay. Mine was just a quick five or six hour effort over three and a bit evenings, which was done as a bit of fun. I suppose I could tidy it up a bit, rotate the bird, make the graphics and animation a bit better, although I can't stand the original button controls, I could introduce a bit more movement controll. Although all gap combinations are reachable. Or maybe I should just turn it into Floppy Fish!? Edited May 26, 2014 by gorf68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50TBRD Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 There are so many versions for different systems that you could add a lot of different elements from them . I like this one, especially the multiplane animation to give it more depth. One thing I'd ask with your version is can you give a little more lead time between start and the first pipe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
