flapp

Inspiration

We wanted to do something fun and wacky with computer vision, and took inspiration from a project we'd heard about that involved eye tracking while playing Pong.

What it does

It's an implementation of the game Flappy Bird, except you can make the bird jump by smiling.

How I built it

I first had to get a working version of Flappy Bird, which I made using some sprites I downloaded online. I then added the Google Vision portion of the project.

Challenges I ran into

I originally wanted to use blinking instead of smiling, but couldn't figure out how to find that using the API for Google Vision and had to change to smiling.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Figuring out how to use Google Vision's API at all.

What I learned

Using API's from third parties to help my program.

What's next for flapp

Improving FPS.
