🛩️ Helicopter Finger-Tracking Game

A fun and interactive 2D game that uses real-time hand tracking to control a helicopter using just the tip of your index finger! Navigate through obstacles and score as high as you can. The game gets more challenging as your score increases.

🧠 How it Works

1. The webcam captures real-time video.
2. Mediapipe tracks the index finger tip.
3. The helicopter follows the Y-position of the finger.
4. The player avoids obstacles that move horizontally across the screen.
5. As score increases:

• The speed of obstacles increases.
• The background changes to add difficulty.
