Gassy Bird

Oh shit!

Overview

You are a bird who enjoys doing the doo doo. Fly above people’s heads and swerve between natural obstacles and thrown objects as you gleefully squeeze out juicy gifts for those below. Why are there thrown objects? Because for some reason, people who receive your generous white presents get mad and throw rocks at you.

Poop with precision; missing two fecal discharges in a row causes you to lose. Poop with expedience; holding your churning mass of pressurized turds inside for too long causes you to lose. And don't forget -- try to avoid flying into things.

Controls

Gameplay

  • Space: Shoot forth a gleaming poopy mess
  • P: Pause the game (can also click on the pause button)
  • Any other key: Fly upward

Menu Naviagtion

You can use the mouse to click on buttons. But if you're a pro keyboard gamer, then you know any time where your hands aren't on the keyboard is time wasted that could be spent pooping on people. So the following controls also work to navigate the button interface:

  • (W, A, S, D) and (Up, Left, Down, Right): Select button
  • Space and Enter: Click selected button

Troubleshooting

If you get CMAKE errors like a package wasn't able to be found, then you may have to set one or more of the following environment variables:

  • BOX2DINCLUDE: The location where the Box2D header files are located. For example, if you installed Box2D to C:\Program Files (x86)\box2d, then set BOX2DINCLUDE to C:\Program Files (x86)\box2d\include.
  • BOX2DLIB: The location where the box2d libraries are located. For example, if you installed Box2D to C:\Program Files (x86)\box2d, then set BOX2DLIB to C:\Program Files (x86)\box2d\lib.
  • INCLUDE: The location where the SFML header files are located. For example, if you installed SFML to C:\Program Files (x86)\SFML, then set INCLUDE to C:\Program Files (x86)\SFML\include.
  • LIB: The location where the SFML libraries are installed. For example, if you installed SFML to C:\Program Files (x86)\SFML, then set LIB to C:\Program Files (x86)\SFML\lib.
