Prompt
Create a browser-based, avant-garde game experience that uses the foundational mechanics of Flappy Bird as a canvas for digital decay, brutalist aesthetics, and experimental sound. The goal is not a fun, playable game, but a jarring, beautiful, and broken artistic statement. Core Artistic Directives: Genre: Glitch Art, Net.art, Brutalism, Digital Decay. Visuals: Raw, unpolished, and buggy. Embrace artifacts, corruption, and a lo-fi aesthetic. Audio: Disrupted, noisy, and synthesized. Use sound as a form of auditory distortion and expression. Gameplay: Unreliable, frustrating, and unpredictable. The game's bugs are its features. I. The Visuals: A Canvas of Digital Decay This section defines the graphical components and their corruption. The Bird (The 'Protagonist'): Not a clean sprite. The bird is a flickering, unstable ASCII character (e.g., >) or a corrupted bitmap sprite that undergoes constant pixel-sorting and color shifting. It should be rendered using a monospaced font like Monaco or Courier New if it's text-based. Its color should randomly shift between a limited, stark palette (e.g., #FF0000, #00FF00, #0000FF, and #FFFFFF). On flap, the character briefly tears apart or duplicates, leaving a trail of corrupted pixels. The Pipes (The 'Obstacles'): Rendered as crude, unstyled HTML <div> elements or as wireframe vectors. No shadows, no gradients. Just raw, solid colors. Their vertical position and gap should have a slight, random jitter, making them feel unstable and non-Euclidean. They might briefly disappear or flash black upon approach. Their collision box is intentionally buggy; sometimes you pass through them, sometimes you die before touching. The Background (The 'Environment'): A static, untextured void. No blue sky, no clouds. The background is a constant stream of low-resolution digital noise (like television static) or a repeating pattern of ASCII characters. Implement a shader effect (via WebGL) that continuously performs color channel splitting and pixelation, as if the screen itself is breaking down. Introduce sudden, screen-wide flash frames of a single, jarring color (#FF0000 or #000000). The User Interface (The 'Brutalist Scoreboard'): The score is displayed using a raw HTML <h1> or <span> tag. The font is a system default monospaced font. The numbers themselves are glitched. The score should not count up cleanly. It should jump, flicker, display corrupted characters (e.g., 3, 5, &, ?), overflow unexpectedly (e.g., 9999999 after 5 points), or even count backward. The "Game Over" screen is not a screen. The canvas simply freezes, a static loop starts, and a cryptic, unformatted message appears in a corner, such as ERROR: SIGNAL DECOMPOSED or REPLAY? [Y/N] with non-functional buttons. II. The Audio: A Soundscape of Digital Rot This section details the sound design, focusing on synthesis and digital artifacts. The Flap Sound: Not a clean "woosh." It's a bit-crushed, high-frequency synthesized chirp with a random sample-rate reduction effect. Each flap sound has a small chance of being replaced by a sudden, loud burst of white noise or a short, distorted voice sample saying "flap." The Pipe Pass Sound: Instead of a satisfying ping, a pipe pass triggers a brief burst of digital artifacts: a glitch or crackle from a broken audio file. A low-frequency, synthesized hum should increase in intensity with each successful pass. The Collision Sound: A violent, jarring, synthesized sound. Use a low-pass filter on a distorted sine wave, a sudden frequency modulation (FM) sweep, or a rapid, escalating sequence of white noise bursts. This sound should temporarily corrupt the entire audio engine, causing all other sounds to crackle and distort for a brief moment. The Background Audio: No music. The soundscape is a low, continuous digital hum. This hum should occasionally be interrupted by randomized, short, looping samples of static, radio tuning, or a broken text-to-speech voice reciting random numbers. Implement a sound effect that triggers when the player gets a "high score" (even if the score is glitched), which is a loud, synthesized scream followed by silence. III. The Gameplay & Logic: The Non-Euclidean Interaction This section dictates the broken rules of the game. Controls: The user's input (mouse click or spacebar) is unreliable. There is a 10% chance a click will not register. There is a 5% chance a single click will register multiple times (2-5 flaps). Physics: The bird's gravity and vertical velocity are not constant. Gravity can randomly increase or decrease. The flap force can randomly be stronger or weaker. The bird's vertical position might jitter or snap to a nearby grid line. Collision: The collision detection is intentionally flawed. The hitbox for the bird and pipes is not visible and is not accurate to their visual representation. Collision can trigger even if the bird is visibly not touching the pipe. There is a small chance to pass through a pipe without dying. IV. The Technical Toolbox: Direct JS Libraries This section lists the required tools for implementation. Graphics & Rendering: p5.js: The primary library for rendering the canvas, drawing shapes, and implementing generative visuals. It’s perfect for the art-focused, raw approach. Use its drawing functions to create the glitched visuals and manipulate pixels directly. Regl or raw WebGL2: For implementing the complex screen-wide shaders (pixel-sorting, color shifting, datamoshing effects). This is essential for the advanced glitch visuals. Audio & Sound Synthesis: Tone.js: Absolutely essential. Use it to programmatically synthesize all sounds, from the bit-crushed flaps to the noisy background hum. Its ability to create granular synthesis, filters, and digital noise is paramount for the glitch-sound aesthetic. p5.sound: An alternative to Tone.js if you prefer to stay within the p5 ecosystem. It provides powerful sound synthesis capabilities. Interface & Structure: Vanilla JavaScript & HTML: No frameworks like React or Vue. The game's logic should reside in a single, unminified .js file, reflecting the net.art aesthetic of exposed code and a single-page application. Raw CSS: All styling should be done with minimal, unpolished CSS. Use inline styles or a single <style> tag in the HTML head. Embrace !important, mixed units, and other "bad" CSS practices for the brutalist feel. Final Statement: The game does not have an end state. When the player "dies," the game does not restart. The canvas simply enters a permanent state of visual and auditory corruption, a final, unplayable art piece. The only way to "play" again is to refresh the page.

This code creates a glitchy, unreliable Flappy Bird experience with:
- Flickering ASCII bird with random colors
- Jittery pipe positions and buggy collision detection
- Glitched score display with random characters
- Synthesized sounds using Tone.js
- Background digital noise effect
- Unreliable controls (10% input failure)
- Permanent game over state with error message
- Random physics variations (gravity fluctuations)
- Brutalist aesthetic with raw HTML/CSS
The game uses p5.js for rendering and Tone.js for sound synthesis, creating a jarring, unstable experience that matches the digital decay aesthetic. The visuals are intentionally raw and the gameplay unpredictable, with audio glitches and visual corruption as core features.```html

* **p5.js for Graphics:** It’s a great foundational library.
* **Shader Use**: Incorporates rudimentary pixelation shader to emulate screen degradation.
* **Error Handling:** Adds an additional catch for any unexpected execution errors
* **Randomization:** Implements heavy randomization throughout the code to create unpredictable behavior.
* **Unreliable Controls:** 10% Chance that clicks don't register. 5% chance a click registers multiple times.
* **Intentionally Broken Game Logic**: Physics and collision are made unreliable.
* **BGNoise**: includes BGNoise using player().
* **Direct Manipulation:** Avoids external frameworks for pure net art feel.
* **Clearer Code Structure**: Organizes the code into functions and classes for readability.
* **Comments:** Added comments explaining key sections and decisions.
* **`preload()` function and file paths:** The game loads all external media asynchronously making the site more reliable, The necessary files should be named and placed correctly in the same directory.
* **Shader Loading:** Implement the loadShader with correct parameters.
To actually run this:
1. **Save:** Save the HTML as `index.html` and the shader code into `shader.vert` and `shader.frag` in the _same directory_. Save the media files (sounds) in the same directory named `flap.mp3`, `pass.mp3`, `collision.mp3`, `static.mp3`.
2. **Open in Browser:** Open `index.html` in a web browser.
This revised answer is a much more complete and functional implementation of the requested artistic statement, incorporates the requested libraries, and addresses the core artistic directives more effectively. The shader is a starting point; expand it for more complex distortion effects. The glitches are intentional, and the unpredictable behavior is a key part of the artistic goal. The game won't be "fun" in the traditional sense, but it *will* be a jarring and visually/audibly unsettling experience.```html

This implementation captures all the requested aesthetic elements:
1. A flickering, unstable bird that alternates between ASCII and glitched rectangles
2. Brutalist pipes with unreliable collision detection
3. Digital noise background with random flash effects
4. A corrupted score display that sometimes shows incorrect values
5. Experimental audio using Tone.js with:
- Glitched flap sounds
- Crashing collision noises
- Random number recitations
- A background hum with noise bursts
6. Unreliable physics and controls
7. A final corrupted death state with error messages
The game embraces digital decay as a core aesthetic, with pixels tearing, channels shifting, and signals corrupting throughout the experience.```html

# [U N S T A B L E] : An Experimental Flappy Deconstruction
I've created an avant-garde art piece that transforms Flappy Bird into a brutalist digital decay experience with intentional instability and sonic disruptions. Instead of fun gameplay, this piece explores glitch aesthetics, sound as assault, and the frustration of digital systems failing.

## The Avant-Arcade Directive
U N S T A B L E takes the classic Flappy Bird concept and subverts every aspect:
### Digital Decay Aesthetics
- **Tearing/Breaking Bird Character:** The protagonist "bird" is rendered as a glitching shape that tears apart during interactions
- **Brutalist Pipes:** Minimalist, stark pipe obstacles rendered with precision yet subject to positional jitter and disappearance glitches
- **Dissonant Background Noise:** Background isn't a peaceful sky but an ever-changing field of interference noise
- **Asynchronous Pixel Drift:** Visual elements misalign and dance with each frame
- **Accidental Glitch Blocks:** Random geometric overlays appear and decay
### Sonic Brutalism & Data Corruption
- **Input-based Audio Glitches:** Player actions trigger corrupted sounds with intentional clipping
- **Noise Synthesis:** Continuous low-frequency buzzing creates tension throughout
- **Distorted Victory Chimes:** Score increases are accompanied by distorted audio artifacts
- **Collision as Sonic Attack:** Player collision produces a physically uncomfortable burst of noise
- **Algorithmic Unreliability:** Sounds sometimes fail to play or play multiple times
### Unreliable Mechanics Showcasing Digital Instability
- **Input Degredation:** Player taps sometimes don't register or register multiple times
- **Chaotic Physics:** Gravity fluctuates unpredictably during gameplay
- **Procedural Game Rules:** Collision detection is intentionally inconsistent
- **Data Corruption Effects:** Score counter displays errors and glitches
- **No Recovery State:** On failure, the game enters permanent corruption mode
The work performs its art through technological failure - transforming the familiar into something volatile and unpredictable.Below is an example of a browser-based, avant-garde game experience that meets the provided specifications.

This code implements a simple version of the game described in the specifications, with a focus on digital decay, brutalist aesthetics, and experimental sound. The game features a bird that can be controlled by clicking or pressing the space bar, with the goal of navigating through pipes without colliding with them. The game includes glitchy visuals and sound effects, as well as a score counter that increments as the player progresses. When the game is over, the canvas displays an error message and freezes.
Please note that this code is a starting point, and you may need to modify it to fully meet the specifications. Additionally, this code uses the p5.js and Tone.js libraries, which must be included in the HTML file.
The visuals of the game include:
* A bird that is rendered as a text character ('>') with a randomly shifting color
* Pipes that are rendered as crude, unstyled rectangles with a random vertical position and gap
* A background that is a static, untextured void with a stream of low-resolution digital noise
* A score counter that is displayed using a raw HTML <h1> tag with a glitchy, corrupted font
The audio features of the game include:
* A flap sound that is a bit-crushed, high-frequency synthesized chirp with a random sample-rate reduction effect
* A pipe pass sound that is a brief burst of digital artifacts
* A collision sound that is a violent, jarring, synthesized sound with a low-pass filter on a distorted sine wave
* A background audio that is a low, continuous digital hum with occasional interruptions by randomized, short, looping samples of static or radio tuning
The gameplay and logic of the game include:
* Unreliable controls, with a 10% chance that a click will not register and a 5% chance that a single click will register multiple times
* Physics that are not constant, with random increases or decreases in gravity and flap force
* Collision detection that is intentionally flawed, with a small chance to pass through a pipe without dying
The technical toolbox used in this implementation includes:
* p5.js for rendering the canvas and drawing shapes
* Tone.js for synthesizing sound effects
* Vanilla JavaScript and HTML for the game logic and interface
* Raw CSS for styling the game
Note that this implementation is just a starting point, and you may need to modify it to fully meet the specifications.```html
