Flappy Bird Game with Arduino Uno
So, Today we are gonna build a fun game with Arduino. This game is called The Flappy Bird game, I bet you must have played this game in your childhood. And if not you can make one today and play.
Components Required
- 1 x BreadBoard
- 1 x Arduino Uno Board
- 1 x I2C LCD Display (16x2)
- 1 x 10 KOhm Resistor
- 1 x Push Button
- Jumper Wires
- USB A/B Cable
Circuit Diagram
Fig. 1 Circuit Diagram
Connections:
SCL(LCD) ---> A5/SCL Pin
SDA(LCD) ---> A4/ SDA Pin
Vcc (LCD) ---> +5Volts
Gnd (LCD) ---> Gnd
Place the push button on the breadboard as shown in Fig. 1
Ground 1a terminal of pushbutton through a 10 K ohm Resistor also, connect the same 1a terminal to the D2 pin of Arduino.
Connect 2a terminal of the Push Button to +5Volts.
(Note: A Push Button Functions only when it is pulled up).
That's all the connections required for the Flappy Bird game using Arduino.
Let's see the Arduino Code Now.
