Dive into Game Development: Building 2D Web Games with Flutter & Flame

Ever wondered how to turn your Flutter skills into interactive 2D games? Join GDG Tampa Bay for an introductory, hands-on look at game development using the Flame engine on Flutter.

Whether you are a mobile developer looking to explore new creative avenues or curious about the mechanics behind game loops, physics, and canvas rendering, this session will break down the essentials step by step. We’ll walk through building a lightweight, ocean-themed 2D web runner from scratch—exploring how to handle sprite animations, user inputs, collision detection, and procedural visuals without heavy game engines.

What We’ll Cover:

The Flame Game Loop: How Flame integrates seamlessly into Flutter’s widget tree.

Component-Based Architecture: Structuring players, obstacles, and collectibles using Flame components.

Touch & Tap Controls: Implementing responsive, single-touch physics suited for web and tablet viewports.

Dynamic Visuals & Audio: Leveraging procedural canvas drawing, particle bursts, and sound effects for instant game feedback.

Web Optimization: Deploying smoothly to the web with minimal bundle overhead.

No previous game development experience is required—just bring your laptop, an interest in Flutter, and your creative curiosity!
