flame_gallery_match 0.1.0

Sweet Swap: a match-three swap puzzle Flame mini game for Flame Gallery with cascades, move or time limits, target scores and seeded boards.

flame_gallery_match

Sweet Swap for Flame Gallery: a match-three puzzle. Swap neighbouring sweets to line up three or more, set off cascades and reach the target before the moves run out.

Most apps depend on flame_gallery and call FlameGallery.show(context, game: const SweetSwap()). Depend on this package directly if you only need this game.

How to play

• Drag a sweet toward a neighbour, or tap one and then its neighbour, to swap them.
• A swap that lines up three or more of the same sweet clears them; the rest fall and new sweets drop in. A swap that matches nothing bounces back and costs no move.
• Each cleared sweet is worth pointsPerPiece × the cascade level: the first clear ×1, the chain reaction after it ×2, then ×3...
• The round ends when the moves run out (default 20), the optional timer ends, or targetScore is reached.
• The six sweets differ in colour and shape (drop, wrapped sweet, jelly, star, heart, triangle), so the board reads without colour vision.

How it works

• The board is pure Dart. MatchBoard (src/logic/match_board.dart) finds runs, applies gravity, refills and records every cascade as a CascadeStep (cleared cells, falls, spawns, level). Boards are generated without ready-made matches and always with at least one valid move; when no move is left the board reshuffles.
• Animation is a stage queue. The Flame layer turns the steps into stages (swap, clear, fall, shuffle, settle); each stage is a function that starts its effects and returns how long they take. Input is locked until the final settle stage.
• Rounds end after the cascade. Move limits, target scores and even time-up are checked in the settle stage, so points the board has already awarded are never lost mid-animation.
• Seeded boards: MatchConfig(seed: ...) gives every player the same board and refills — a "daily puzzle".
• Pieces snap to their cells when the screen is resized or rotated mid-animation.

Configure

SweetSwap(
  config: const MatchConfig(
    rows: 8,
    columns: 8,         // 5..10
    moveLimit: 20,      // and/or timeLimit
    targetScore: 1500,  // reaching it ends the round as a win
    seed: 20261024,     // same board for every player
  ),
)

Configs are immutable; nullable fields are cleared through copyWith with a getter: config.copyWith(targetScore: () => null).

Make it yours

SweetSwap(
  theme: GameTheme(
    colorScheme: ColorScheme.fromSeed(seedColor: brandColor, brightness: Brightness.dark),
    logo: const AssetImage('assets/logo.png'),
  ),
  strings: SweetSwap.stringsTr.copyWith(title: 'Summer Campaign'),
)

Without a colorScheme the game follows your app theme. Texts ship in English (SweetSwap.stringsEn, default) and Turkish (SweetSwap.stringsTr).

UI test ids

Menus and HUD values carry Semantics(identifier:) ids for Maestro, Patrol or integration tests: GalleryKeys from flame_gallery_core (gallery_start_button, gallery_pause_button, gallery_final_score, gallery_hud_score, ...), plus MatchKeys.hudMoves and MatchKeys.hudTarget.
