Flame
Flame is a 2D game engine and framework for Flutter. It provides a component-based architecture to organize scene entities and manage their lifecycles through a structured hierarchy of game objects, coordinated by a consistent game loop.
The engine includes a graphics library for rendering animated sprites, particle effects, and external textures. It features a 2D physics integration layer that supports rigid body dynamics and collision detection between entities.
The framework covers additional capabilities for game engineering, including user input capture for gestures and gamepads, audio triggering for sound effects, and an asset-caching pipeline for importing maps and textures. It also provides mechanisms for synchronizing application state with external state management libraries.
