## Overview

Flappy Hat is a single-file Pygame arcade game. The player starts from the menu, controls the animated hat through ruler gaps, earns score and rank praise, and reaches a game-over screen on collision. The graph separates interaction, game orchestration, gameplay entities, and presentation/assets. The excerpt does not show all rendering and update logic, so only documented capabilities and directly evidenced interactions are included; the image assets are documented in the README but absent from the supplied file tree.

Main entry points: [`flappyhat.py`](https://github.com/imdrkenzo/flappy-hat/blob/main/flappyhat.py) (Game Loop)
