 There is room for improvement in all projects, not excluding ours. There are a few main enhancers that we would like to implement over the Winter Break to create a much more enjoying game:
-+ Fix the bright color spots: This issue arises when we connect the LED Matrix with the PCB. It could be the long ribbon cable or the PCB itself that causes these glitches.

 As there is only one input for the game. It must be differentiated which state the game is currently at. Below is the game logic.

-One of the improvements we planned was to make the gameplay more difficult (speed increase/bird size change) after reaching certain score breakpoints. To diversity our idea further we could create special game modes employing various speed modifiers or allow the user themselves to toggle certain features for score multipliers.

	The very first design is based on the original Flappy Bird. Although it looks great on the design sheet when it is drawn on the LED Matrix it was too bright to see the details of the bird. The second design is one of the most visible design. It portraits the original design and also shows all details on the LED Matrix. But we have ONE big issue: The bird is too TALL. With a height of 12px, it took almost a third of our 32-row-LED-matrix. Making the bird any shorter will not yields the same "Flappy Bird" look. Therefore, our team came up with a brand new chick design. It is shorter, but still gives off the look and feel of a poultry-type of animal.

 == Conclusion ==
-An game in the spirit of Flappy Bird was successfully created on the SJ2 and LED Matrix. The overall project however, was hindered by our poor time management. Many of the major problems encountered could have been solved more elegantly given more time and more rigorous testing. The biggest lesson we learned from the project is time & project management. Utilizing our time more wisely would have allowed us to allocate more resources into problem solving and additional gameplay features.

 The game wouldn't have been created had it not for Professor Preetpal Kang's knowledge and teaching over the semester. Many common issues are mentioned during class that we actually see when we develop our Flappy Machine and it cut down our debugging time tremendously. Secondly, we would like to thank our TA Vidushi Jain for sticking with us throughout the semester. Her help in many aspects is a push forward for all of us. Lastly, we want to say thank you to all students in this Fall 2020 CMPE 244 for creating such an engaging class despite the remote studying situation
