Flappy Bird: robotics project brief

Describe the game's input, obstacle and scoring rules. Test one rule at a time using the model's existing game example rather than assuming all models share controls.

Flappy Bird

Before you start

A compatible model and the required display, inputs, sensors or actuators. Consult the model repository and instructor before adding parts.

This project brief accompanies an existing CYOBot demonstration. It explains how to plan an experiment; it is not a complete firmware tutorial or proof of a physically validated build for every model.

Use the documented example for your exact hardware as the baseline. Keep logic tests separate from physical tests, and record which results were simulated and which were observed on your robot. Private workspace lessons may provide additional instructions.

Try a small experiment

  1. Check the model and component compatibility in the official documentation.
  2. Describe the game's input, obstacle and scoring rules. Test one rule at a time using the model's existing game example rather than assuming all models share controls.
  3. Keep a working baseline and change one requirement at a time.
  4. Record the code version, input, expected result, actual result and unresolved faults.

What to record

Document a small flappy bird experiment with a clear requirement, observations and limitations.
