Release [Teaser] The Bestest Game Ever

[Asmo]

Nice, the smoothness makes it easier on the eye for sure, especially over long sessions. However, maybe it's just me but on my CC Pandora at 600/700mhz it tends to slow down and speed up intermittently - still smoothly, not a judder - which can throw off timing so you end up double-jumping unintentionally if it happens when you're already in the upward phase of a flap and are trying to maintain a rhythm.

A couple of times, only at the very start before 10 points have accrued, it almost ground to a standstill and then carried on as normal.

Can you try overclocking o 750 to see if it changes anything?

 

[Asmo]

At 750mz it initially seemed less pronounced, but (as before) it seems to become more noticeable after a couple of games. Literally, after two or three games it becomes pretty evident.

It's also noticeable that there's a distinct slowdown when the bird is at the apex of a flap, so just before the bird enters it's downward motion if your attention is focused on the scrolling pipes, you can see the brief slowdown-speedup happening.

Interesting. I need to try on my rebirth to see if the same is happening.

@ Asmo: experiencing the same issues here on my Rebirth @ 600 Mhz. 

@ ekianjo: FWIW, according to Notaz' Live System Info, Flappy Bird now uses 20% more CPU resources than before. Don't know if it's related though...

New version finally in the repo !

http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=flappybird

This time you get two minor changes:

- you can now tap the screen to flap.

- C4A support now works via fusilli so you can play offline and submit the scores later.

Wow, respect, that's actualy alot of care and updates for such an tiny (and stupid) game.  I see less progress with bigger games.

Thanks! Many updates because it's an "early access" game

J/k... But i do enjoy pushing small changes whenever I can instead of waiting for them to pile up.
