Progressive Flappy Bird Mod

Aug 2024 – Sep 2024
Flappy Bird mod gameplay showing the score and high score display
Mid-run on the arcade cabinet build — score climbing, no crashes.

I modified an open-source Pygame Flappy Bird clone so its difficulty responds continuously to the player's score. The scrolling speed accelerates, pipes appear more frequently, and the gap between them narrows as a run progresses.

I also adapted the game to the arcade cabinet's 1280×1024 display and space-button input. Local files preserve the total play count, all-time high score, and the time that record was achieved across restarts. Installed in the school cafeteria, it recorded more than 3,000 play sessions without a crash.
