# Fly Plane Fly - A Flappy Bird Spin Off
This is a spin off of Flappy Bird written in Haskell.
## Gameplay
## Installation
### Prerequisites
#### Installing Stack
This project uses Stack. If you have Stack installed already skip to the next section.
Run:
```
curl -sSL https://get.haskellstack.org/ | sh
```
or
```
wget -qO- https://get.haskellstack.org/ | sh
```
to install Stack.
Refer to the Stack's [readme](https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/README/) for more details
#### Installing the SDL2 Libraries
In addition, this game requires the following SDL2 libraries:
* SDL2
* SDL2 image
* SDL2 mixer
* SDL2 ttf
Installation of these libraries depends on the Linux distribution. In Void Linux, for example, they would be installed by running:
```
sudo xbps-install -S SDL2 SDL2-devel SDL2_image SDL2_image-devel SDL2_mixer SDL2_mixer-devel SDL2_ttf SDL2_ttf-devel
```
Be sure to download the developer libraries as well.
### Installing the game
To build the project, issue the following commands
```
git clone https://github.com/jaredponn/Fly-Plane-Fly.git
cd Fly-Plane-Fly
stack build
```
That will build the project.
While you are in the Fly-Plane-Fly folder, run the following command to start playing:
```
stack exec fly-plane-fly
```
And you should be playing the game.
## Implementation details
Please refer to the blog post for an in-depth analysis of the architecture.
[Read it here](https://jaredponn.github.io/posts/2018-06-07-Write-Me-A-FlappyBird-In-Haskell.html).
## Project
This project was a high-school project for the Pre-Engineering class. Students may choose to work individually or in groups. Some other projects include Rube Goldberg machines, Quad-copters, and Pancake cookers.
## Issues
~~The CPU usage is a ridiculously high. On my computer, it takes up more than 50% CPU while running. If you can find the shortcomings in the system that leads to this issue, I would be happy to hear about it.~~
Good news! I reduced it down to 20%-30% usage which is still bad, but much better than it was before. Refer to the blog post for more details.
