About 1.0.0

Our goal is to release v1 soon. We are periodically launching RCs (release candidates) as we evolve the code, and we are already quite happy with where we are (but there might still be further changes). Our documentation is still not completely updated to v1, and things are still open to change.

Please use this version to get a preview of the new Flame version and also to give the team feedback about the new structure and/or features.

The master branch is the bleeding edge of the v1 migration. The master-v0.x branch is the latest v0 release (where we are still merging some patches and crucial fixes).

The current v1 release is on pub. The latest stable version so far is . Feel free to choose the one that better suits your need.

Goals

The goal of this project is to provide a complete set of out-of-the-way solutions for the common problems every game developed in Flutter will share.

Currently it provides you with:

• a game loop
• a component/object system
• a physics engine (Forge2D, available through flame_Forge2D)
• audio support
• effects and particles
• gesture and input support
• images, sprites and sprite sheets
• basic Rive support
• and a few other utilities to make development easier

You can use whichever ones you want, as they are all somewhat independent.

The simplest way to show us your support is by giving the project a star.
