Project Overview
My attempt to replicate the classic Flappy Bird experience on Android. The main challenge was optimizing performance - from an initial 20 FPS to a stable 120 FPS through careful memory management and object reuse techniques.
Key Features
- Performance optimization (20 FPS → 120 FPS)
- Smooth touch-based controls
- Consistent obstacle generation
- Seamless background scrolling
- Object reuse for memory efficiency
- Classic Flappy Bird mechanics
Technical Details
- Platform: Android
- IDE: Android Studio
