Why Does a Log Only Fall to the Left or Right in Angry Birds?

[motleycat]

1. In the video game Angry Birds, a bird collides with an initially vertical log. Why does the log only fall to the left or right?2. None, it's a non-science course.3. I don't understand the question. Where else would it fall? It's a 2D game. Everything gravity pulls down falls either to the left or right.

The problem does not seem suited to a physics homework forum. The "physics" of a computer game can be arbitrary in general. The question would be better posed to the manufacturer (programmers) of the game.
