I haven’t tried playing it, but the code looks neat and well laid out.

Except for one thing. Take the touched function outside the draw function.

@Ignatz Touched is outside the draw function - it’s just the indenting that’s off.
@(iangid) all your graphics are local to your machine - I swapped out for some standard codea images to get a feel - a nice game.

Some observations:

putting the current score on screen would be good.
birdspeed=birdspeed*0 - this is more complex than need be. Why not birdspeed=0?
Though your gamestate works, it’s probably not the best way to implement for readable code . A good way is to define constants, and a common convention would be to CAPITLISE the values. For example

PLAYING=1
CRASH=0
gamestate=PLAYING

This way you reference the game states with English words making the code a bit more readable. Not really a major issue here but if you aren’t rigorous then it could lead to problems with more complex code

And to my codes you say they’re terrible :s

This is beginner code, like yours, and compared to professionals, it is not well written.

But these guys are not suggesting that their code is professional quality, like you did. For beginners, they are doing fine. For a beginner, you are doing fine.

But the difference is that they understand their code can be improved, whereas you tell us how great your code is. You don’t seem to understand you are a beginner.

So we tell them they are doing fine.

And we tell you that you need to learn a lot more before your code is good enough for other people to use.
