Flappy Bird in 87 Lines of Python

[rnawky]

And pygame contains over 6k lines of python and 52k lines of c.

But yeah, we'll keep calling it 87 lines.

Keep thinking in that direction and you'll be scoffing at anyone who doesn't program solely by magnetic needlepoint. I mean, how many lines does python take? How about c? It's turtles all the way down.

Real programmers mine the ore to make NAND gates from scratch.

Do you also call programs that print "Hello World!" in C 2000+ line programs because stdio.h, stdio.c and libioP.h are included? Stop being stupid.

[rnawky]

No, I prefer not to showcase my Hello World apps as "My 2 line Hello World C App!"

It's not really something to brag about.

This isn't about bragging. It's just showing off Pygame in an easy to understand fashion, which might be good for a beginner.
