Master Flame Game Engine With Flutter: Build 2D Mobile Games

A practical guide to creating 2D games with Flutter & Flame for Android & iOS—animations, collisions, physics, and more.

What you'll learn

Build 2D mobile games from scratch using Flutter, the Flame engine, and Forge2D physics.

Implement realistic game mechanics with physics-based movement, gravity, collisions, and object interactions.

Work with sprites, sprite sheets, animations, audio, and parallax backgrounds to create polished and engaging gameplay.

Develop interactive game mechanics like shooting, scoring, health systems, enemies, and levels.

Apply best practices in game architecture with Flutter for scalable and maintainable projects.

Requirements

Basic knowledge of Flutter & Dart programming (building simple apps, using widgets, and running them on a device/emulator).

A computer (Windows, macOS, or Linux) with Flutter installed.

An Android or iOS device/emulator for testing games.

No prior game development experience is required — you’ll learn everything step by step with Flame.

Description

Master Flame Game Engine with Flutter: Build 2D Mobile Games is the ultimate hands-on course for Flutter developers who want to step into the world of game development. Whether you’ve built apps before or are completely new to game programming, this course will guide you step by step in building fun and interactive 2D games using the Flame game engine.We’ll start with an introduction to Flame and explore the essential building blocks like text, shapes, movement, timers, tap events, and collision detection. From there, you’ll put your skills into practice by creating Ramp Hit Game, a brick-breaker style game with collisions, reflections, obstacles, and sound effects.Next, you’ll learn how to work with sprites, sprite sheets, animations, and parallax backgrounds, and then dive into an action-packed Space Shooter Game complete with enemies, shooting mechanics, explosions, scoring, and a camera that follows the player.In the advanced sections, we’ll explore Forge2D, Flame’s physics engine, where you’ll learn about bodies, gravity, and physics-driven components. You’ll then apply these concepts by building Color Catch Game, where balls must be sorted into the correct buckets using physics, collisions, and creative rendering techniques.By the end of this course, you won’t just know Flame basics—you’ll have built multiple complete games and gained the confidence to design and develop your own unique 2D games with Flutter and Flame.
