ADDING INTRO AND BACKGROUND MUSIC
Our game is completed but to add beauty and more entertainment we would like to have some background and intro music as well when we start to play the game. There is nothing complex it’s just a couple of lines of codes in the code of Flappy Bird In Python Pygame.
First, we’ll add intro music then we’ll add background music. The intro music will be played till we start to play the game. As soon as we start to play the game then our intro music should stop and after then background music should play.

FIRST, we loaded our intro music and then played the music in the welcome screen function, and then we went to the main game function first we stopped the music that we were already playing and then loaded our intro music and played that.
SUMMARY
So, we have completed this beautiful journey of creating the Flappy Bird In Python Pygame with source code. We covered every basic to the basic concept that we can and tried my best to explain it to you guys.
Now I am thinking of shouldn’t have a quick recap of what we all did. I think yes because it was a long journey so if we have a quick recap then things will be more clear and will be easy to understand.
So let’s start don’t get bothered by it I’ll try to keep it as short as possible
At first, our game has three parts which are welcome screen, main game, and game over.
The welcome screen as the name suggests is the entrance or we can say welcome door of the game. In this game, we have some intro music going on and we gave the user the right either to play the game or quit the game. We can move further or start playing the game by pressing the space bar or clicking on the play button
After then we enter into our main game which is the actual game. In this, we have two pipes that are obstacles for the player. These pipes come randomly by generating some random y’s for pipes. We have some gap between the pipes which we call offset. And our player has to pass the pipe without colliding with it safely through the offset. We can play the game by pressing the space bar or up arrow key.
After every successful passing between the pipes, we got the points and our score increased. And we displayed this score on the screen also.
We also have some very interesting sound effects such as birds flapping, if we got the point and if we hit some obstacles, and also the background music is going on.
After then we check for the collision we have 4 types of collision. The first and second collision is between the ground and the upmost layer of the screen. After then, the 3rd and 4th are the collisions between the pipes.
If our bird collided with any of these, the hit sound effect will play and then we call the gameover function.
In the game over function, we gave the user again either to play the game or go back to the home screen.
And then boom our game is ready.
OUTRO
First of all, I want to thank you as well as congratulate you for making this wonderful game and thank you all for giving your patience and time, and for staying connected with me till this point. But I’m damn sure you won’t regret giving this time as I promised you will have a wonderful project with you so, I kept my promise by presenting Flappy Bird In Python Pygame
And now it’s your time to show some creativity of your own and let me give you one task. Update the highscore feature in the game and then display the score and highscore at the end of the game, I mean in the game over function.
Now, I’m finalizing this beautiful journey hope you all liked my effort, and if you have any queries or any problems related to the game you can reach me at @expert_in_python and @python.hub on Instagram.
You can also send us the updated version of the game we would appreciate your efforts.
Thanks again till then keep coding and keep visiting copyassignment a place to learn to code easily and quickly.
