🐦 Projeto da Playlist de vídeos ensinando a fazer um jogo com JavaScript do ZERO!
A Flappy Bird clone built in vanilla JavaScript, created as companion code for a Portuguese-language YouTube tutorial series aimed at beginners learning game development from scratch. It's a teaching artifact, not a library or framework — the value is in watching the videos alongside the code.
The project is genuinely minimal: one HTML file, one JS file, one sprite sheet — no build tooling, no dependencies, no configuration to fight. That makes it useful as a reference for how canvas-based game loops and sprite animation work at their simplest. MIT licensed and has a live demo, which is more than most tutorial repos bother with. The audio assets (jump, hit, score) are included, so it's a complete runnable game, not a skeleton.
This is tutorial companion code, not a standalone learning resource — without the videos it's just a flat JS file with no comments or explanation of the design decisions. The codebase hasn't been touched since early 2024 and was never versioned, so there's no path to contributing or extending it in any structured way. A file literally named `arquivo.x` is sitting in the root, which suggests the repo was never cleaned up after the recording sessions. Stars are inflated by YouTube traffic, not by developers finding the code independently useful.
