A clone of the popular Flappy Bird game, built to improve my development skills and computer graphics knowledge.

A simple 2D illusion can be achived using orthographic projection, giving the game a more familiar feel.
With the debug mode enabled, the collision checking is visible, each dot representing the center of a circle. A couple of those overlapping gives us a nice approximation of the pipes geometry.
Additionally, only one pair of pipes can be collided with at any given time, so we'll check only those. This makes for a verry efficient collision detection.
Space for starting the game and jumping, 1 to enable debug mode, 2 turns the ortogtaphic projection on for the 2D effect, and 3 turns back the perspective view for a normal 3D experience.
