Gesture-Controlled Flappy Bird

# Setup and Running Instructions

## 1. Create and Activate Virtual Environment

```bash
# Create a new virtual environment
python -m venv venv

# Activate the virtual environment
# On Windows:
venv\Scripts\activate
# On macOS/Linux:
source venv/bin/activate
```

## 2. Install Required Packages

```bash
# Install all required packages
pip install opencv-python mediapipe face_recognition numpy requests pygame
```

## 3. Download Required Assets

Make sure you have the following files in your project directory:
- bird.png
- building.png
- voice.mp3

## 4. Running the Application

You'll need to run two Python scripts simultaneously in separate terminals:

### Terminal 1 - Gesture Detection
```bash
# Make sure you're in the virtual environment
source venv/bin/activate  # On macOS/Linux
# or
venv\Scripts\activate   # On Windows

# Run the gesture detection script
python video.py
```

### Terminal 2 - Game
```bash
# Make sure you're in the virtual environment
source venv/bin/activate  # On macOS/Linux
# or
venv\Scripts\activate   # On Windows

# Run the game
python game.py
```

## Troubleshooting

1. If you get a "No module named 'cv2'" error:
   - Make sure you activated the virtual environment
   - Try reinstalling opencv-python: `pip install --upgrade opencv-python`

2. If the game doesn't respond to gestures:
   - Make sure both scripts are running
   - Check if the action.txt file is being created and updated
   - Ensure your webcam is working properly

3. If you get pygame errors:
   - Make sure all image files (bird.png, building.png) are in the correct directory
   - Check if the voice.mp3 file exists

## Notes
- The game uses your webcam for gesture detection
- Press ESC in the gesture detection window to exit
- Close the game window to stop the game
- The game difficulty increases as you score more points
