I'm terrible at Flappy Bird. That's ok, you are too. That's probably why you're reading this. As of this writing, my high score is a paltry 18. My teenage nephew, on the other hand, has managed to break the 40 mark without a sweat. So I did what any self-respecting 33 year old man with a Flappy Bird addiction would do: I asked a child for help.His advice delivers a heaping helping of common sense - and like all common sense, it seems applicable well beyond the context in which it was given. So I ask you: will these tips improve your Flappy Bird game, or your day-to-day life?I say it's both.
I know that many developers these days are focused on "creativity," "ingenuity," and other -ity words that don't necessarily involve making boatloads of cash. But that doesn't mean there aren't other game creators out there, waiting for the next big thing that will allow them to retire to their floating fortress made of dodo eggs. So, potential gold-smoothie-drinking-quadrillionaire, why don't these games exist yet? A few might actually even be…fun.
