Welcome To
The Definitive Guide to Android App Development
With the introduction of smartphones, usage of mobile phones has increased dramatically. The way we consume material, do business, and go about our daily lives has altered as a result of smartphones. Because Android powers 85% of smartphones, developing Android apps is a requirement for any internet business worth its salt. The Google Plays tore is now being overrun with thousands of apps every day as a result of this. Everything is now accessible with a few clicks, including ordering food, hailing a cab, seeking work, and finding amusement. If you have the motivation to study Android App Development you can create any number of apps on your own, even though hiring an app development firm or company can be a quick method to get apps.
Android Introduction
Android is a mobile operating system that powers about 2.5 billion devices. Some of the device types powered by Android include phones, televisions, tablets, cameras, game consoles, car systems, and smart wearables. Android devices come in a variety of hardware combinations, but the operating system supports a number of standard functions like storage, cameras, connection, messaging, and more.
Android devices offer notable capabilities via the Android platform, some of which include: Widgets-provide quick access to information on the home screen, such as the current weather; Some of the typical features include a QR code scanner and custom ROMs, which let users modify or customize Android operating systems to their liking.

It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent.

ABSTRACT
Flappy Bird is a fun and intuitive mobile game on Android platform driving a lot of people crazy
these days. In this game, the player can control the movement of the bird. Pressing the button makes
the bird leap upward and on releasing the button the bird will fall freely. In the proposed game
design, as soon as the game begins, obstacles will keep appearing from the right side of the screen
and move leftwards which will make bird seem to be flying in the forward direction. The goal of this
game would be to control the bird, dodging and passing it through as many obstacles as possible.
This will run endlessly until the bird hits the obstacle, ground or ceiling. At the beginning of the
game, the player is prompted to hit the play button to start the game. Once the Bird is unable to beat
the obstacle, the game is concluded and the score for that session is displayed.
Flappy bird is a mobile game in which a player controls a bird’s flight height to avoid obstacles.
Pressing on the screen for a longer period of time allows the bird to fly higher, while letting go
causes the bird to fly lower. This project will bring the mobile game to life using a video camera to
detect a player’s motion, and controls the bird based on the speed at which a player flaps her arms.
The FPGA will render an image of the bird flying through an environment, and display the flapping
motion of the wings according to the player’s speed. Flappy Bird is a mobile game that became
incredibly popular in 2014. The game is simple in concept: you control a bird that flaps its wings
when you tap the screen, and you must navigate it through a series of p
ipes without touching them. The game's difficulty lies in its tricky controls and the fact that even the
slightest mistake can cause you to crash. Despite its simple graphics and gameplay, Flappy Bird
became a sensation, with many players becoming addicted to its challenging and frustrating nature.
However, the game's creator eventually removed it from app stores due to the overwhelming
attention it received
Flappy Bird is a mobile game that gained immense popularity in 2014. The game's simple yet
challenging gameplay made it an instant hit among gamers of all ages. However, the game's creator
eventually removed it from app stores due to the overwhelming attention it received. Despite its
short-lived success, Flappy Bird remains a cultural phenomenon, with many people still discussing
and playing it years later. The game's impact on mobile gaming is undeniable, and its legacy can still
be felt in the countless games that have been inspired by it.

Introduction
On February 10th, 2014, the creator of Flappy Bird, a popular side scrolling game for mobile
devices, removed the game from mobile application stores (Apple, Android, etc.). The reason for the
removal was due to the game becoming “an addictive product” that had “become a problem”
(Nguyen). Currently Flappy Bird is only available to those who downloaded the game before its
deletion from application stores or through a fan created website, flappybird.io.
This final project aims to implement this popular and exciting game in hardware. Previous
implementations of this game, such as the original mobile app or fan created online version, exist in
software form. As a result, bringing this game into the hardware realm truly distinguishes our project
from previous implementations of Flappy Bird. In the preexisting software implemented versions of
this game, a small bird must hop to avoid obstacles in the form of green pipes that scroll across the
screen from right to left.
The user taps the screen or clicks a button to make the bird jump up, but otherwise the bird is
constantly falling. Due to the counterintuitive control scheme, which required the user to remain
vigilant, constantly monitoring the bird’s path of movement during the game, Flappy Bird became
renowned for its difficulty and infuriating controls. Our goal is to implement our own version of the
game on an FPGA (Nexis 4 DDR) and make the game more interesting and difficult by incorporating
a vision tracking element that requires the player to jump in order to control the onscreen bird
protagonist. Specifically, the vision tracking component will look for a bright object placed over the
player’s face (a “beak” in the form of a paper party hat), and then use the coordinates of this said
object as input for the player coordinates to the game.
Therefore, a large change in the player’s vertical position, as monitored by the vision tracking
component, will trigger a hop for the player’s onscreen character. By incorporating this vision
tracking specific control screen, player’s movements will be continually tracked, resulting in greater
emphasis on the player’s attention and engagement within the the game. Additionally, during game
play, the player’s face will be layered onto the bird sprite, allowing for a truly personalized
experience.
Stretch goals of this project include implementing our project on two FPGAs connected via serial
link to create a multiplayer experience and dynamic calculations that allow rotation of the bird sprite
during jumps. The ideal outcome would be to deliver an aesthetically pleasing and physically
engaging game that demonstrates successful implementation of the game integrated with the vision-
tracking component

In this project, we design and implement a Flappy Bird like video game on the Sock it development
board. Flappy Bird is a very popular mobile game on Android platform, driving a lot of people crazy.
In this game, the player can control the vertical movement of bird (every pressing on the keyboard
makes the bird leap upward for a little bit, and the bird will fall freely without control). As soon as
the game begins, tubes will keep appearing from the right side of the screen and moving leftwards.
(So that it seems like the bird flying forward). The goal of this game is to control the bird, dodging
and passing the incoming tubes, as many as possible. The game is endless until the bird eventually
hit one of the tubes, ground, or ceiling. Figure 1 is the start screen of Flappy Bird. The title "Flappy
Bird" is shown in the middle of the uppers side of the screen. The bird is also displayed on the
background.

4.2 Project Objective:
4.2.1 The Process: In my initial approach, I accounted for only three modules: game state, physics and
high score. However, as I began implementation of these modules I realized that my original design
was flawed in that it did not account for the complexities that come with randomly generating
obstacles, different clock domains or the complexities needed to create smooth player (bird sprite
protagonist) movement.
4.2.2 Physics Module: Since the game has a scrolling background and obstacles are generated on
screen from right to left, the player bird sprite has a fixed horizontal coordinate, the player’s jumps
only impact the onscreen sprite’s location in the vertical direction. Keeping this movement in only
one dimension eliminates the need to perform rotations and smooth out the xy translational motion via
interpolation, reducing the complexity of calculations and ensuring that all needed calculations to
produce the updated sprite position can occur within a single clock cycle.
4.2.3 Collision Detection Module: For the collision detection module, the implementation was quite
straightforward, essentially I needed to check if the bird ever went beyond the bounds of the output
VGA screen or if it collided with an obstacle. Since the bird’s movement is restrained to only the
vertical axis, it will never surpass the left of right edge of the screen. When calculating collisions, the
size of the bird must be taken into account. For Flappy Bird, the bird coordinate refers to the top left
corner of the sprite. Since the size of the bird is 64x64 pixels, collision detection must take into
account the entire size of the bird.
4.2.4 Random bit and Obstacle Generation Module: To generate pseudorandomized obstacle
locations, I originally designed the random bit module to output a number between 1 and 10 using the
$random variable. However, the flaw in the utilization of this $random variable was that I quickly
found out that $random only works in simulation, not in physical hardware. I then had to devise an
ulterior method of generating pseudorandom bits to use in the obstacle generation module. Since the
player’s location coordinates change once every camera frame (even if they are standing still, there
are still natural slight movements that occur), it seemed reasonable for me to take the 4 least
significant bits from the player position and use them as my pseudorandom bits, resulting in an output
of rabbit [3:0] from the random module.
4.2.5 Testing Procedure: To test the various functionality of the timer, olestra, random and collision
modules I wrote testbenches that checked that modules worked as predicted. For testing the game
state module, namely the transitions between the various states and to make sure the correct bits were
enabled, I used the buttons on the Nexus to represent state transitions and utilized the LEDs to
represent various output bits, such as the collision and jump sound enable bits. To test the physics
module, I first had to integrate my physics module with Nick’s video module.

4.2.6 VGA Device Drive: The VGA module is actually a memory-mapped slave, which connects to
the Avalon bus through the lightweight AXI bridge. The HPS uses 4-bit address bits to access 16
location that store 8 bits data. More specifically, The software use IOCtl to call the inwrite function in
the device driver and specify the registers’ address(a base address of the via slave plus the offset
address which is specified in the device tree ) to write. We use Sy’s to connect everything between
gaoled and the HPS up.
4.2.7 Future Goals: If I were given more time to do this project, I’d focus on adding two things: support
for more colours and replacing the current RGB to YUV conversion with one that is more accurate
and uses floating point math. For adding new colours, the changes would just have to be in the
parameters, so it would simply involve going into lab with different colour beaks and trying out
different configurations and thresholds to optimize for desired colours. In addition, this would require
creating at least two modules to change the parameters on the camera and for the thresholds.
Replacing the RGB to YUV conversion would require pipelining because of the floating point math
operations, but this would simply delay the output, and wouldn’t require adding more steps to the
process. Since the time between frames is substantial, there would be virtually no loss to tracking
data, and this change would allow for more accurate colour representations in YUV. The end result of
the increased colour fidelity is that picking out colours would become easier, and more robust. In
addition, this would mean that the need for optimizing the camera’s colour output to the desired one
becomes more necessary.
4.3 Project Scope:

4.4 Project Deliverables:
At the highest level, the project will track the player’s face for vertical changes during gameplay and output sound
effects (Audio Out) and video graphics (VGA out) where relevant. Depending on the player’s vertical movement,
the game logic processing block will change and update the sound and graphics. The vision/object processing
block takes input from the OV7670 camera and processes the incoming video stream to determine the location of
the “beak” and then sends the location coordinates to the game logic block. The game logic block uses an input
button to start the game, and uses a combination of physics and saved previous player location states to determine
when to jump. Additionally, the game logic block handles the location of new obstacles, and controls the
movements of the bird. If the bird collides with an obstacle, it ends the game. The game logic then sends position
data of objects, specifically the player face and obstacle location coordinates, to the video block, and also tells the
audio block what sound effects to play. The video block takes input of the player face coordinates to be able to
retrieve the player face sprite from BRAM and also takes in the object positions to convert them into image
representations. All of this information is then sent over to VGA to be displayed. The audio block plays sound
effects based on events determined by the game logic.
4.5 Project Timeline:
Game logic : Time
◦ System clock data type is not available in calculation, ex: clock()
◦ Implement counter: loop number as time unit collaborating with delay, ex: usleep() Game logic : Status
◦ Status variable: record jumping and falling
◦ Status variable cooperates with initial velocity supporting continuous jumping without multithread
4.6 Project Team:
• Improve our coding style. In our hardware coding, we unroll the program without making it hierarchical as a
module which may lead to difficulty for debugging.
• Choose high resolution sprite pictures and eliminating sprite background more clearly can make our game
picture looks better.
• Design more complex game logic can increase our game integrity. Fro example, background changes with
time, distance between pillar become random.

4.7 Budgets:
The biggest issue is the USB input driver. The kernel in our Sock it board can’t read USB driver
library even we update and install the library. We do some modification and using lab2 to
environment to make our keyboard work. We also modify bit-width in driver to communicate with
Sock it board collaborate with our signal.
Second issue is synchronization between loop in software and frame buffer update in hardware. We
need to update the object position when the frame is not showed on the screen.
So we update the screen only when it scans to the bottom of the screen. l Bird motion need time
variable which is not straightforward to get. Because the data type we get from system clock is not
available for calculation.
4.8 Risk and Mitigation Strategies:
Game logic : pillar display
◦ We combine the display of pillar with the check condition ( whether the pillar is on the screen or not )
reset the coordinate of the pillar once the condition is triggered.
4.9 Approval:
This section can easily be tested independently from the others, as it requires only two bits of inputs. The two
enable bits were mapped to buttons on the Nexus so the sounds could be played on demand. I started with a
simple sinewave file loaded into the ROM. After confirming that the logic.

5 STATEMENT OF WORK
The project can be visualized in four major blocks as shown in Figure 1: object tracking, gameplay
logic, audio, and video display.
The primary motivation for this project is to make a well designed and physically engaging game that
emphasizes and personalizes user experience. Completion of this project requires full functionality of
every module. As a result, we require that each of the four critical blocks be independent of the others,
allowing for streamlined parallel development and comprehensive testing of the modules. For object
tracking purposes, the player is required to wear a “beak”, a brightly coloured party hat over their nose
and mouth, similar to a mask. The purpose of the physical “beak” is to provide an object of high
contrast that allows us to easily determine the location of the player’s face (Figure 2 below). The vision
tracking component will look for a bright object placed over the player’s face (the “beak”), and then
use the coordinates of this object as input of the player coordinates to the game. As a result, any large
changes in the vertical coordinates of the player will be detected as a jump control sequence.

6 DESIGN
6.1 Flow Chart
Fig 3.1. Flow chart High level block diagram
Primary components that constitutes our game includes the ARM core (game logic), device driver, USB controller
to control the input from keyboard, Sprite controller (control the display of sprites), audio controller, SDRAM (
store all the data needed in game logic). The game logic module interfaces with several other modules including
the USB keyboard, by receiving the control signal; as well as the device driver in order to control the audio and
display of sprites, including the positions of pillars and birds, the length of the pillars and the score. Sprite
controller is connected to VGA Controller, which is responsible for the display of all the images, and audio
controller is connected to audio CODEC on the SoCKit board. Each of the components in our design will be
discussed in detail below

6.2 Files Used
1. Delay: This component is used the deploy a delay of a given amount of time.
2. Sinter Fire: This is used to read data bit-by-bit and send it to the display. An 8-bit input is passed into
the module and it transmits it bit-by-bit.
3. Olivinite: This module contains all the commands to turn on the display and this has to do every time
the display is powered on.
4. Bird is: This is the main module in which the movement of the bird is coordinated and the output for
the display is determined. A set of multiple screens has been defined here which is used to display the
output on the screen of the Pod OLED. Also, the scoring and level increment part is taken care of here
itself.
5. Midriver: As the name suggests this module works just as a driver for all the previously defined sets
of modules.
6. Charlie: This is the memory module and we have imported it for use in our game.
6.3 Description of Classes
Game View Controller - Manages the game's view and user input
Game Over Scene - Displays the game over screen and allows the player to restart the
game
Physics Category - Enumerates the different categories of physics bodies in the game
Sound - Enumerates the different sound effects in the game
Game: This class represents the game itself and acts as the main controller for the
entire game. It handles initializing the game window, managing game state (e.g.,
running, paused, game over), and contains the game loop that updates and renders the
game objects. It also manages user input, such as handling key presses to control the
bird's flap.
Bird: The Bird class represents the player-controlled character in the game. It manages
the bird's position, velocity, and behavior (e.g., flapping, falling). This class handles
the bird's movement based on user input and gravity, as well as detecting collisions
with obstacles.
Pipe: The Pipe class represents the obstacles that the bird must avoid. It manages the
position and movement of pipes as they scroll from right to left on the screen. This
class also handles the generation of new pipes as the game progresses and ensures they
are appropriately positioned on the screen.
27. FLAPPY BIRD MOBILE GAME APP

Faculty of Engineering and Technology
Collision Manager: This class is responsible for detecting collisions between the bird
and pipes. It checks for collision between the bird's bounding box and the pipes,
determining if the bird has collided with an obstacle or not. If a collision is detected,
the game's state will change to "Game Over."
Score Manager: The Score Manager class keeps track of the player's score during the
game. It increments the score each time the bird successfully passes a set of pipes
without colliding with them. The class also manages the high score and updates it
accordingly.
Graphics Manager: The Graphics Manager class handles rendering all the game
objects on the screen. It utilizes graphics libraries or APIs to draw the bird, pipes, and
any other visual elements on the game window. It updates the screen with each game
loop iteration.
Sound Manager: This class manages the sound effects and background music in the
game. It handles playing sound effects like the flapping sound when the bird jumps or
collision sound when it hits an obstacle. It also manages the background music
throughout the game.
Game: The Game class is responsible for displaying the user interface elements, such
as the score, high score, and any messages like "Game Over" or "Paused." It updates
and refreshes the UI based on the game's current state.
These are the essential classes needed to implement a basic version of the Flappy Bird
game. Depending on the complexity of your mini-project, you may have additional
classes to handle more advanced features like animations, power-ups, or different
game modes. But the above classes should form the core components of the Flappy
Bird game implementation.

CONCLUSION
Implementing this game in hardware was an enjoyable project for all of us. It paired a fun final product with
a challenging implementation, an ideal combination for a project in this class. The work was modular and
divided well between three people, so we could optimize the division of labor. Our goals were achievable,
and we accomplished what we wanted. Overall, this project helped all of us gain experience working with
hardware implementation and interfacing with the outside world.
Our final project was planned, developed and demonstrated as expected. We designed a new version of
Flappy Bird Game written in Python, which could be played either on Pit FT screen or personal computer.
Firstly, a user-friendly interface was implemented. Secondly, single player mode was realized. In single
player mode, each player have 3 lives and their NetIDs and final scores will be written to a score board,
which keeps track of top 10 scores. Then the code of dual player mode was written. It gives users the
opportunity to compete with their friends, which will bring a lot of fun. We also implemented two
background settings, daytime and night modes. The users could also choose either one background mode
before playing the game. One difficulty for users is that the horizontal shifting speed will increasing as time
goes on. We also implemented a hidden trick in the single player mode. When user achieves 10 scores, the
flappy bird will evolve into flappy Joe.
