Project #1
Create/recreate the Flappy Bird game in Python3.
For this project, use graphics.py.
It is a simple graphics library.

for more information.
(download, install, documentation, ...)
The code in the video is incomplete (not shown). The developer must interpret the design from the available code, Expand it, and then code the project in Python3.
The code in the video is not Python. It is VBA.
Note: VBA stands for Visual Basic for Applications.
Steps to Solve the Problem?
- Study and understand graphics.py. What capabilities does it have for animation? Do you need a different graphics/animation module?
- Read and understand the code in the links below.
- Understand the structure of the program/code in the links below.
- Translate the structure into Python.
- Code and Test.
