The Department of Applied Data Science is excited to share the success of our recent workshop, “Build & Publish Your Flappy Bird Game in Unity.”

On 17 November 2025, Game Development Laboratory and VR Lab co-hosted an intensive workshop on building a Unity 2D game. This workshop guides all participants in building an infinite side-scroller where a bird navigates between green pipes, incorporating physics-based movement, collision detection, scoring systems, a polished UI, and game state management. Within four hours, all participants have successfully recreated the classic Flappy Bird game in Unity and published it on Itch.io. This workshop offers a great opportunity for our students to develop their hands-on technical skills and encourages them to start building their creative portfolios using a simple game mechanism.

A demo of the game can be viewed here: https://gdlabhksyu.itch.io/testing-flappyingbird

We look forward to hosting more fun and hands-on digital skills workshops in the future!
