Tips for a Better Score
- Aim for the vertical center of each pipe gap, not the edges.
- Use short, sharp taps rather than holding down for smoother altitude control.
- Look at the next pipe while passing the current one to plan ahead.
- Keep the bird slightly below center when the gap is high, and slightly above when it is low.
- Consistent rhythm beats frantic clicking. Find a steady flap cadence.

Flappy Bird FAQ
Click on the canvas or press the Space bar to make the bird flap its wings and rise. Releasing the control lets gravity pull the bird down. Time your taps to navigate through each pipe gap.
Yes. Your best score is stored in your browser's localStorage under the key 'rapidcps_flappy_high'. It persists between visits as long as you do not clear your browser data.
Each pipe gap is 140 pixels tall. The bird has a radius of 16 pixels, giving you about 108 pixels of clear vertical space to fly through, with 4 pixels of forgiveness on collision detection.
The game uses requestAnimationFrame which syncs to your monitor's refresh rate, typically 60Hz. All game logic runs inside this loop, stored entirely in refs to avoid React re-render overhead.
In this version the scroll speed stays constant at 2 pixels per frame. Focus on clean technique and timing rather than adapting to speed changes.
Yes. Tap the canvas to flap. The canvas scales to fit your screen width via CSS while maintaining the 2:3 aspect ratio.
The bird is a circle and the pipes are rectangles. Collision uses circle-vs-AABB math with 4 pixels of radius shrink for fair, forgiving hit detection.
Stay near the vertical center of the gap, use short controlled taps rather than long holds, and anticipate pipe height early. Consistent small flaps beat erratic large ones.
