Thoughts

Flappy Bird released while I was in high school. Soon after, everyone and their dog was making a flappy clone, and I was no different. There were plenty of tutorials, “make Flappy Bird in 30 minutes!”. It was a super simple game, so sure, I’ll make one, and mine will be about a shuriken where you dodge blades. I did the code and even got online leaderboards up at the time. For the art, I went to the art club and got them to draw stuff that I scanned in and made into sprites for the game.
