Jett Lee | I Made Flappy Bird in EXCEL?! - Devlog @JettLee | Uploaded April 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Microsoft Excel is commonly known as a spreadsheet program, but did you know you can program ENTIRE GAMES in it? Turns out there is this thing called Visual Basic For Applications or VBA, and it allows you to program within it! Most people would use this to automate tasks in excel, but I decided to push it to its limit and attempt to create a game within it. Specifically Flappy Bird as I believe it is the titular benchmark game to create when testing out a new engine (or office program).
