Flappy Bird comes to EOS R8 - Prototype mod

10.22.26 · firmware · by Mr Dhsoe · 0 comments

This is a proof of concept, that the EOS R8 can run photography friendly apps and mods like a Canon DSLR did in the Magic Lantern era.

Flappy Bird is controlled by the physical keys on the camera and the smooth screen scrolling uses Canon's screen drawing architecture optimally. The camera is also capable of sound effects, which I'll introduce to you in my port of DOOM which is in progress now (complete with original MIDI FM synthesis soundtrack).

It's also possible to port a similar kind of app to the Canon EOS R5.

It is not the Android version and not an .apk installer. This Flappy Bird was written in C and compiled for the camera's ARM processor.
