How to make a simple flappy bird game in Python with free source code

 

So, hello watshapp guy's today is very special day for me so I thought that I will made this day more special by giving you a special knowledge. Yes today we discuss about a topic "how to make a simple flappy Bird game in Python testing Android or window. Alright this code work in Android also.

This code is tested in pydroid3 and the result is that the code run very smoothly. To run this code just install pycharm or pydroid3 in Android.

Before run this code, you need to take some basic knowledge about this so firstly you need to install some pip from Python library.
‌ install itertools
‌install random
‌install pygame

Notice:- you need to import your own images if you just copy paste this code.

Now it's time to give you the source code to make a flappy Bird game:-
