Flutter + Flame + Blockly

[Caroline Caprini]

Hello!

I'm building a Flame/Flutter game integrated with Blockly, where kids can learn basic programming logic moving around a tiny bunny in a 2D platform game. 

Right now, I'm mainly focusing on making it work on the web (after I plan on making it work on mobile), but I'm having difficulty understanding how to integrate Blockly with my Flutter code. Is there any documentation or tutorials for integrating Blockly with Dart/Flutter? Should I go for the JS interop path, or is there something built for Flutter?

If someone has any tips, it'll be greatly appreciated! 

Thank you so much!

Hi Caroline,

 

Right now, I'm mainly focusing on making it work on the web (after I plan on making it work on mobile), but I'm having difficulty understanding how to integrate Blockly with my Flutter code.

Blockly is a JavaScript library and depends on having a DOM.  We no longer have any special support for any other platform than the web.  We did, some years ago, briefly have Java and Objective C implementations (for Android and iOS respectively) but they were deprecated a long time ago and should not be used.  We've never had any Dart implementation or any specific support for Flutter.  If Flutter will let you embed a webview in your app then it should be reasonably straightforward to inject Blockly into that webview in the ordinary way; if any other forum users have done that then I'm sure any advice they can offer would be most welcome.

Best wishes,

Christopher

Hello Christopher! 

Thank you for your answer! I'll keep working on integrating my code with Javascript to see if it works without any issues.

Thank you for being so helpful in this adventure!

As awe are  planning similar kindof projects (flutter / bloocky) do you have any feedback after exploring  interactions btw blockky and flutter code?

thx!
