Flappy Jack(-o-lantern)

2022

Inspired by the incredible Unity tutorial on Flappy Bird from Game Maker's Toolkit, I recreated my own version of Flappy Bird in 3D for Unreal Engine 5.

The game was first designed largely in blueprints first for fast prototyping. Once a feature is working, it was converted to C++. With the exception of Enhanced Input and UI, everything is implemented in C++.

Full Source Code can be found on my Github Here.
