Simple Steps to Build Flappy Bird with Python in 5 minutes

This article aims to explain and build step-by-step flappy birds game with Python.

Install Dependency

pip install pygame

Basics on pygame

import pygame
import sys

pygame.init()  # init pygame
size = width, height = 320, 240  # set windows size
screen = pygame.display.set_mode(size)  # show the window

while True:  # infinite loop to keep the windows on
    for event in pygame.event.get():  # loop through all events
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:  # if close button clicked, exit
            sys.exit()

pygame.quit()  # exit pygame

Step 1 Create the game windows

create the game window, width and height 640*480。code below：

import sys
import pygame
pygame.init()  # init pygame
size = width, height = 320, 240  # set windows size
screen = pygame.display.set_mode(size)  # show the window

Step 2 Keep the windows on

running the code in step one, the window will flash and close immediately because the window is auto close after the script execution. To ensure it sticks we will use a while True . On top of that, we need a way to exit with clicking the close button
