Line Birds - An OpenGL based graphics game for desktop

In my undergraduate engineering college at M S Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore, I had this wonderful course on Computer Graphics. We had to design a mini project on the topic to get course credit.
Coincidentally, a friend had just bought himself a brand new iPhone 3GS and there were a wide variety of additive simple games. A bunch of us were addicted to this game called Line Birds by Robert Szeleney (Djinnworks)

We decided to try to emulate this on a desktop environment based on the knowledge of OpenGL we had aquired through the course. The idea was the be able to create a multiplayer enviroment where can see and compares score from friends, similar to what Apple has done with Game Center today.

We were able to emulate the flight physics quite well and got pretty far with its development. Here is the link to the GitHub repo for this project. It's still addictive and enjoyable on a windows machine.
