Let's start by setting up the player character and making it move. \n\nWe'll represent the bird with an emoji and allow it to \"flap\" when you press a key. Let's add this functionality to your game now.\n\n### Steps to Add the Bird Character:\n\n1. **Create a Bird Class**: We'll define a class for the bird to manage its position and flapping behavior.\n2. **Draw the Bird**: Display the bird emoji on the canvas.\n3. **Add Flapping**: Make the bird move upwards when a key is pressed.\n\nLet's make these additions to your code.\n\n```javascript\n// script.js\nlet bird;\n\nclass Bird {\n constructor() {\n this.x = 50; // Initial horizontal position\n this.y = height / 2; // Initial vertical position\n this.gravity = 0.6; // Gravity effect\n this.lift = -15; // Lift when flapping\n this.velocity = 0; // Initial velocity\n }\n\n show() {\n textSize(32); // Size of the emoji\n text(\"🐦\", this.x, this.y); // Draw bird emoji\n }\n\n update() {\n this.velocity += this.gravity;\n this.y += this.velocity;\n\n // Ensure the bird doesn't fall out of the canvas\n if (this.y > height) {\n this.y = height;\n this.velocity = 0;\n }\n\n // Ensure the bird doesn't go above the canvas\n if (this.y < 0) {\n this.y = 0;\n this.velocity = 0;\n }\n }\n\n flap() {\n this.velocity += this.lift;\n }\n}\n\nfunction setup() {\n createCanvas(windowWidth, windowHeight);\n background(135, 206, 235); // Sky blue background\n bird = new Bird();\n}\n\nfunction draw() {\n background(135, 206, 235); // Refresh the background\n bird.update();\n bird.show();\n}\n\nfunction keyPressed() {\n if (key === ' ') { // Space key to flap\n bird.flap();\n }\n}\n```\n\n### Explanation:\n- **Bird Class**: Manages the bird's position, gravity, and velocity. The `flap()` method lifts the bird.\n- **show() Method**: Draws the bird emoji at its current position.\n- **update() Method**: Updates the bird's position based on gravity and ensures it stays within the canvas.\n- **keyPressed() Function**: Detects the space key to make the bird flap.\n\nTry this out, and let me know when you're ready to add obstacles!","project_id":8313,"created_at":"2025-06-23T16:30:09.886691Z","output_tokens":578,"sender":"ai","code_id":254610,"deleted":0,"input_tokens":2671,"id":150240},{"message":"mirror the bird image, use mouse click for flap","project_id":8313,"created_at":"2025-06-23T16:35:48.070548Z","output_tokens":null,"sender":"human","code_id":254665,"deleted":0,"input_tokens":null,"id":150348},{"message":"Got it!
