### Project Description: Flappy Bird Clone

**Project Title**: Flappy Bird Clone

**Project Overview**:

This project involves creating a clone of the classic Flappy Bird game using Construct 3. The goal of the game is to navigate a bird through a series of pipes by tapping the screen to keep the bird flying without hitting any obstacles. This project is designed to help beginners familiarize themselves with the basic features of Construct 3, including sprite animation, collision detection, score tracking, and physics-based gameplay.

**Key Features**:

- **Simple Tap Controls**: Tap the screen or click the mouse to make the bird flap its wings and gain altitude.

- **Endless Gameplay**: The game continues indefinitely until the bird collides with an obstacle or the ground.

- **Score Tracking**: Players earn points for each set of pipes they successfully pass through. The score is displayed on the screen.

- **Sprite Animation**: Animated bird sprite to simulate flapping wings.

- **Randomly Generated Obstacles**: Pipes are generated at random intervals and positions to create a challenging and unpredictable gameplay experience.

- **Collision Detection**: The game ends when the bird collides with a pipe or the ground.

- **Game Over Screen**: Displays the player's score and provides an option to restart the game.

**Learning Objectives**:

- **Understanding Construct 3 Interface**: Gain familiarity with the Construct 3 development environment, including layout, event sheets, and project organization.

- **Sprite and Animation**: Learn how to import and animate sprites.

- **Physics and Movement**: Implement basic physics to control the bird's movement.

- **Event Handling**: Use Construct 3’s event system to handle player input, collisions, and game logic.

- **Randomization**: Generate random obstacles to increase game difficulty and replayability.

- **Score System**: Create a system to track and display the player's score.

- **Game Over Condition**: Implement game over conditions and a restart mechanism.

**Steps to Create the Game**:

1. **Set Up the Project**: Start a new project in Construct 3 and set up the game layout and event sheets.

2. **Import Sprites**: Import the bird and pipe sprites, and animate the bird's flapping wings.

3. **Bird Movement**: Use physics behavior to control the bird's movement, allowing it to fall due to gravity and flap when the player taps the screen.

4. **Create Pipes**: Use events to spawn pipes at random intervals and positions. Set up the pipes to move leftward across the screen.

5. **Collision Detection**: Implement collision events to detect when the bird hits a pipe or the ground, triggering the game over condition.

6. **Score System**: Set up a scoring system that increments the score each time the bird passes through a set of pipes and displays the score on the screen.

7. **Game Over Screen**: Design a game over screen that shows the player's final score and a button to restart the game.

8. **Testing and Debugging**: Test the game thoroughly to ensure it works as expected, and fix any bugs or issues that arise.

9. **Polishing**: Add sound effects, background music, and any additional visual or gameplay enhancements to polish the game.

**Final Deliverables**:

- A fully functional Flappy Bird clone game.

- Documentation detailing the steps taken to create the game, including screenshots and explanations of key events and behaviors.

- A playable game file that can be shared with others or uploaded to a web platform for public play.

By completing this project, you will have a solid understanding of the basics of game development in Construct 3 and be well-prepared to tackle more complex projects in the future.
