🐦 CS50 — Flappy Bird

Course: CS50's Introduction to Game Development
Assignment: Flappy Bird
Engine / Language: LÖVE2D (Lua)

---

📋 Project Overview

This repository contains my implementation of the Flappy Bird assignment from CS50's Introduction to Game Development.
📺 You can also watch the gameplay on YouTube.

---

What I implemented:

• ✔️ Randomized the gap between pipes instead of hardcoding.
• ✔️ Randomized the spawn interval for pipe pairs.
• ✔️ Awarded the player with medals (3 types) depending on score.
• ✔️ Added a pause feature (toggle with "P") that stops gameplay, pauses music, and shows a pause icon.
• ✔️ Preserved the original flapping mechanics (space bar / mouse click).
