Designing an Arcade #254

Closed thoward27 closed 4 years ago

thoward27 commented 4 years ago

Hello and thank you for this great game engine.

Today, I am desperately trying to figure out what the design patterns should be to create an arcade in flame. I need to provide a homescreen, game selection screen, and a number of leaderboards. Unfortunately, I can't seem to put my finger on any good resource for this type of work. Everything I'm finding is based around a single game with a lot of code in main that seems non-portable.

If anyone has any experience with this I would really appreciate a nudge in the right direction!

Hey,

Flame does not implements any type of screen change features, we decided to leave that to Flutter's route system, which is already quite powerful. So since a Flame game is a widget in the end, you just need to register it on a router to have multiple screens.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks for the quick reply! Do you know of any examples that I could explore? I'm having trouble determining how to handle gestures/tap interactions across multiple games.

Take a look on this repository, maybe it help you

For handling taps I suggest you taking a look on Flame gesture api, you can find about it o the input section of the flame site.
