I got the original idea from: https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=4146007

The idea was to make a square type game in C# that appears like Flappy Bird. I saw the preview of the game that the other developer made, which looked like this:

Spoiler (Click to View)

I figured out he was using pictureboxes, which isn't a very good way of doing it. Moving controls will always be slower and less efficient than using GDI to manually draw out the objects. He also used timers, which I'm not very fancy of. In my example, I handled the Form_Paint method, and I kept track of all the game objects in the instance of a class called Player.

Preview [v1.2]:


I've uploaded the source code to Github, check it out:

Controls:

Jump: Space/Mouse Click
Pause: P
Quit: Q

Vouch for my boy Thr, this looks sick.

Looks like a very fun project tho! nice job :)

Thanks (: Making it more realistic as I go. The latest push had a few fixes and added momentum to both jumping and falling, as well as more pipes and more heights, as well as more colors.

May I take your FPS counter thing to use it on my project ?

Thanks

very intresting! good wrok I might take a look on it

I notiched something, if you press P to pause while the game is counting down to start the game the game will start.

Isn't flappy bird getting old? Anyway, nice project!

Sure. Just handle the Form_Paint event and make a integer and add one to it every time the form_Paont method executes, then every second read that value and then set it back to 0.

Haha yes, I'll fix that in a new push today :P

Unfortunately, it is. I just figured it would be fun to make something with GDI.

You should consider some better physic calculations.

If you're talking about the GIF, I have yet to update that with the newest update.

The physics look wonky, but it looks better than the original. Nice job :)

Would you be able to change the stuff in this such as instead of a box you could put a different icon.

well of course you could, but he's just doing

Code

p.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(Color.DarkCyan), Instance);

to draw the square.

put your image in then use p.DrawImage(yourbitmap, x, y);

instead of fillrectangle to replace it. prob want to get rid of the draw rectangle too.

Also OP, nice project, you going to continue on this or just a demonstration?

I may continue on with it and eventually make it into a Windows 8 app.

This is very nice. I was going to code one, but you already did.
