Flappy-man is a fun and challenging game inspired by the classic Flappy Bird, but with a twist: it’s entirely built in PHP and designed to run in a Linux command-line terminal using ASCII characters.
- Character Animation: The main character, "Flappy-man", is animated with just ASCII characters, providing a unique visual experience.
- Responsive Controls: Control Flappy-man with the keyboard and help him fly through the air while avoiding obstacles.
- Gravity Simulation: Flappy-man gradually falls due to gravity, so press SPACE to keep him in the air.
- Randomized Obstacles: Each game generates a new set of buildings with randomly placed gaps, ensuring a fresh experience every time.
- Collision Detection: Impacting buildings or the ground ends the game, with a fun twist where the character display reacts to collisions.
- ReactPHP-powered Animation: Smooth scrolling of the obstacles and animation of Flappy-man is handled via ReactPHP for a seamless gameplay experience.
