🎮 Relive the classic Flappy Bird experience with this fun Arduino project! Using an Arduino Nano, a joystick module, and an OLED display, you can build a fully functional handheld version of the game. This project is great for beginners and gaming enthusiasts who want to explore the world of embedded systems and game development.

🔧 Components Used:

Arduino Nano – The brain of the project
0.96" OLED Display – Displays the game graphics
Joystick Module – Controls the bird's movement
Jumper Wires & Breadboard – For easy connections

🌟 How It Works:

The OLED screen renders the game, including the bird and obstacles.
The joystick controls the bird’s movement – move it upward to make the bird "flap."
The game detects collisions with pipes and the ground, triggering a game-over state.
The score increases as you pass through obstacles, and it is displayed on the OLED.
Once the game is over, move the joystick to restart.

📌 Features:

✅ Smooth scrolling pipes ✅ Animated bird with flapping wings ✅ Real-time score tracking ✅ Game restart by moving the joystick ✅ Simple yet engaging gameplay
