Google Cloud and Firebase. The latest release brought forth significant upgrades to the web and camera plugins. Flutter 2.8 also brings the
newest version of Dart 2.15 with concurrency improvements.
Additionally, Google made some improvements in Flutter to facilitate developer productivity. Features like “hot reload” can be worthwhile to
developers. The sign-in widget that comes with this release utilizes Firebase to manage authentication. By using it, you can forget about
resetting passwords or two-factor authentications.
2. Developing games with Flame
Contrary to popular belief, Flutter isn’t just for developing applications. Developers are attempting to use it to build games too. Developers from
almost every community want to leverage the hardware-accelerated graphics support Flutter has to offer.
Even the creators of Flutter talked about releasing Flame 1.0. It’s a game engine that a developer can use to build 2D games. It has all the
features you need to finish creating your game within the shortest possible time. It also has a component system, animated images and
sprites, a world camera, collision detection, and other features.
Developers can extend the abilities of Flame by combining it with extra packages and integrating other libraries. For instance, Flame can
merge perfectly with packages like Forge2D, Fire Atlas, Rive, etc. By connecting Flame with these systems, developers can offer 2D game
development as a service.
