## Overview

This is a small, single-file Pygame Flappy Bird clone. The principal workflow runs in one game loop: player input starts flight and flaps the bird; the loop updates the bird and pipes, checks collisions and scoring, draws the scene, and offers a restart after game over. Bird, pipe, button, scoring, and collision behavior are all implemented in `src/flappybird/main.py`, rather than separate modules. The README describes the hobby game; asset references come from the sampled source, though some referenced files are not listed in the tree.
