Looking for points/advice re using Flame (Flutter library) for a point & click 2D adventure game. So mainly different rooms with images, tap listeners, some minimal animations. So no physics or "real time" stuff.
Q1 - Which of the flame starting points would be recommended re "game.dart" vs "base_game.dart"?
Q2 - Any other tips/guidance for this? (e.g. dont' bother using flame just use flutter?)
This is a very wide question for the StackOverflow format, but since I'm one of the developers of Flame I'll try to respond as well as I can.
Q1:
Definitely go with BaseGame, if you are using Game you get locked out of a lot of the features of the engine. Game is used if you pretty much only need the game loop.
Make use of the components, they will make your
development process a lot simpler. For examples use SpriteComponent
instead of Sprite directly etc.
There is also a package built on top of Flame that is called Bonfire (not built by the flame-engine team) that you could use too, but that is a more opinionated way for writing an RPG game.
Q2:
v1.0.0-rcX, even though it is still rc it is the definitely the way to go if you are starting a new project now, so that you don't have to migrate it later. In a couple of months the final v1.0.0 should be released.
