Topic: Build Your Game 🎮
Flutter friends, we are hosting a Flutter Hackathon in collaboration with Tekna!!

This workshop is a hands-on opportunity for developers of all levels to learn and apply Flutter, Google's UI toolkit for building beautiful, native cross-platform applications. Participants will work in teams or alone to create their own original games from scratch, leveraging the power of Flutter's rich widget library, state management tools, and performance optimization techniques.

If you are feeling adventurous you can venture out in the land of the code first 2D game engine Flutter Flame. This open source game engine lives on top of Flutter and leverages the powerful framework. Flame introduces a game loop, allowing developers to create simple 2D games utilizing the biggest advantages of Flutter; declarative code and hot reloading for instant development feedback.

Preparing for the event:
Flutter provides different ways to create games. No matter if you want to use your daily Flutter skills to create a text-based game using input fields, buttons and other widgets. You can focus on making simple games like Snake or Mine Sweeper. Otherwise you can go all in with Flutter Flame or Flutter Games Toolkit to utilize the 2D Game Engine to create a Flappy Bird, endless runner or something that requires more complicated logic. Either way this hackathon is about getting into the topic and playing around, meeting other Flutter devs and having a good time!
