Game Saves

Where is the game save data stored? Flappy Taco stores all progress data at %appdata%/08BitPixels/Flappy Taco/saves/.

Configuration

* All of this info is also in the config text file
Using config.txt (located at %appdata%/08BitPixels/Flappy Taco/saves/), you can configure;

Screen Settings

• Screen Width / Height
• FPS (Enter 0 to uncap the FPS, or you can specify a custom value)
• VSync (0 = off, 1 = on; syncs refresh rate to that of the monitor (can help to reduce screen tearing) - when this is set to 1 (on) FPS value is ignored.)
  • EXPERIMENTAL FEATURE - due to the specific requirements of VSync, it may not work; you are not garanteed to get a VSync window on your specific setup.
  • Due to this, it is reccomended that you set the FPS value to the refresh rate of your monitor anyways.
  • You will know if VSync has not worked if your FPS seems to be uncapped, even though you have set VSync to be on - in this case, just disable VSync and use the FPS value as normal.
  • ALSO if VSync is on, you will not be able to change the large-ness of the window, but you can still change the ratio (for an annoying reason)

Audio

• Music + SFX Volume (A float between 0-1 (0 = off, 1 = max))
