Flappy Bird Game

This is a 2D Flappy Bird Game created using Python and Pygame. The objective of the game is to navigate a bird between pipes by making it "flap" using the spacebar or the up arrow. The game ends when the bird hits the ground or a pipe.

• Scoring: The score increases as the bird successfully navigates through pipes.
• Game Over Screen: The game shows a "Game Over" screen when the player hits an obstacle.
