This tutorial will use Flame 1.0.0 release candidate 15. v1.0.0 has changed a lot of the core fundamentals of Flame because the team took this opportunity to apply what they’ve learned over the years and rewrite the engine. The Flame team has worked on releasing v1.0.0 for over a year and is on the brink of an official release. The Flame Game Engineįlame - a lightweight game engine built on top of Flutter - gives game developers a set of tools such as a game loop, collision detection and sprite animations to create 2-D games. What you see here is rendered purely with Flutter you’ll need Flame to build the rest of your components.

You’ll see a blank screen with a joypad in the bottom right corner: This tutorial will use Visual Studio Code.

Download it by clicking the Download Materials button at the top or bottom of the tutorial.īuild and run your project in your preferred IDE. You’ll need the starter project to complete this tutorial. But with the power of Flutter and the Flame engine combined, you’ll create all this in just one. Using an older game engine written in something like C++, a tutorial like this would span over three or four series. You’ll develop a game called RayWorld, a 2-D orthographic game in the style of old-school Pokemon. At the very least, you should know how to open a project in your favorite IDE, navigate the source code, initialize your packages with pub get and run your app in a simulator. If you’re new to Flutter, check out Flutter Apprentice, or the Getting Started with Flutter tutorial. Note: This tutorial assumes you have basic knowledge of Flutter.
