flame VS Flutter

Check out Flame - https://github.com/flame-engine/flame

Flutter isn't designed for action games. for a library to help with that, look at: https://github.com/flame-engine/flame

In the Flame discussions page, there is a request for 3D, and Flame developers write that they will be happy to start working on support once when Impeller is stable on most major platforms. So what can the community do? 1) Create discussion topics, just like these posts. Or in other discussion forums. 2) Learn about Impeller, Filament, Flame, and Flutter and be willing to contribute to their development. 3) Join Flame now and try to do something or contribute. 4) Study the implementation of Flutter 3D, and try to do something together with ARCore or ARKit plugins.

If you're interested in game development, the Flame https://flame-engine.org/ team would be grateful for help with fixing bugs in their's engine 🙏

Flutter is a UI library to build apps that run on any platform, but it can also build interactive games thanks to an open-source game engine built on top of Flutter called Flame. Flame takes care of things like collision detection or loading image sprites to bring game development to all the Flutter devs. We can take it a step further to introduce real-time communication features so that players can play against each other in real-time.

but for mobile I would suggest you to use https://flame-engine.org/ if you dont want to abandon your experience in Flutter

Haha I'll take a stab at it, anyone can feel free to correct me. Can I use Flutter to make 2D games? You absolutely can. Resources like the Casual Games Toolkit can provide you a kickstart into game development in Flutter. For more advanced features, options like Flame offer in-depth standardized game features like particles, spritesheets, and raytracing/raycasting. Can I use Flutter to make 3D games? While it is possible to stitch together libraries containing OpenGL, there are limitations for indepth, robust 3D development in Flutter. You may be better suited with other game engines such as Unity or Unreal.

Thanks - that link does not appear to be open access, anyways I don't think I've seen it. I'm familiar with Flutter at a high-level (Kevin Moore gave a great talk on it at Wasm I/O), and I think other than requiring users to work in Dart, it is probably one of the most powerful ways to do cross-platform UI today.

Worth noting that their original GPU backend was Skia, and now they are retooling around Flutter GPU (Impeller)[0], which is kind of designed similarly as an abstract rendering interface over platform-specific GPU APIs.

If you are considering Electron/React then I would suggest adding Flutter to your list of technologies to consider. It uses Dart (a language similar to C#) and has a lot going for it… relatively quick to get up to speed with, fantastic developer experience (e.g., hot reload, great IDE support, good development tools) and very strong cross-platform support: it generates native iOS, Android, MacOS, Windows and Linux executables. Check it out: https://flutter.dev/

You can find the React Native documentation here and Flutter Documentation here.

> There is actually a great issue thread on the Flutter GitHub that explains exactly why other solutions do not work correctly when compared to hooks [0]

Interesting. I assume you are referring to this comment in particular -> https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/51752#issuecomment... ?
