#93Might I ask what is the stack behind this?
If you look at the source which is only ~200 SLOCs, it's just written in vanilla js for the canvas and Websocket which receives a simple arrayBuffer binaryType.

#94It looks like a school of fish that are slightly out of sync in space-time with each other. But seriously, this is all the game was about? Really?
Everyone else was playing it :(

#95It's hard to concentrate on your own flapping when everyone else is flapping at the time.

Flappy Bird is a clone itself. There were a few different flash/java games that features almost identical gameplay. IMO, helicopter game was the best of these. helicoptergame.net Flappy bird actually is supposed to be a troll, and that's why its so popular. People found its ridiculous difficulty to be funny, and that's why the game went viral. I agree with the other commenter that it isn't well-tuned at all. The hit-…
I believe SF cave came before the helicopter game, and I'm sure if even that was the first of the genre. http://www2.sunflat.net/en/games/sfcave.html http://www2.sunflat.net/en/games/sfcave3d.html 3D SF cave is my favorite by far.
I'm pretty sure I saw something recognizably similar to this used as a sample program for the Commodore 64 in Compute's Gazette.

I think it's a disservice to call it a clone of the helicopter game. It's a very similar idea, but how the game is played and the consistency of the obstacles are very different.
I think its a disservice that millions of people act like this guy stumbled on a new genre when he didn't. The way the game is played is nearly identical. You either increase your altitude or decrease it. I agree that the consistency of the obstacles is different though.
Every "genre" and gametype you could ever think of has already been done to some extent by someone in the last few decades so to discredit him because it's not a "new genre" is silly.
Also, it doesn't really matter if he did something already done or not. What matters is that he did it in a way that was seen as better by a significant amount of people.
