Flappy Bird Using IR Distance Sensor for Randomness

Page last updated 21 Oct 2014, by Richard Farr. 1 reply

Overview

This project involved implementing the Flappy Bird game on the mbed microcontroller, using an IR distance sensor as a source of noise. Noise is used as a way to determine the position of the wall's openings. The project uses a single button as a 'flap' input, which increases vertical velocity.

Hello,

we had a trouble running the program because we couldn't import the customized library and a message showed that says: "You don't have permission to import the remote repository 4DGL-uLCD-SE.lib". I think you should set the repository visibility to "Public". Does it make a difference if we used a IR sensor (gp2y0a41sk0f 48) instead of (gp2y0a41sk0f 46)

Thank you in advance
