Flappy Santa

Inspiration

I've built a couple clones of popular arcade games recently while learning Python and turtle graphics and thought that flappy bird would be a fun and simple game to recreate.

What it does

It plays the same as flappy bird and you use the spacebar to "fly"

How I built it

I built it in python using turtle graphics

Challenges I ran into

One challenge I ran into was simulating gravity and adding the jump functionality

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I am most proud that I was able to recreate the basics of this game without referencing online sources other than turtle graphics documentation and that I was able to do it in only a few hours

What I learned

Through this experience I learned a little bit about random "terrain" generation and about how to make only a few objects give the appearance of multiple/infinite objects

What's next for Flappy Santa

If I were to improve on this game I would definitely like to add textures of some kind and a background. I would also like to improve on the gravity and jump speeds.
