For Google I/O, we teamed up with the Flutter team to reimagine a classic pinball game built using Flutter and Firebase. Here’s how we brought I/O Pinball to life on the web with the help of the Flame game engine.
Game development essentials
The Flutter framework is a great choice for building games driven by user interaction, such as puzzles and word games. When it comes to games that use a game loop, Flame, a 2D game engine built on top of Flutter, can be a helpful tool. I/O Pinball uses Flame’s out-of-the-box features, such as animations, physics, collision detection, and more, while also leveraging the infrastructure of the Flutter framework. If you can build an app with Flutter, you already have the foundation you need to build games with Flame.
