...a matching colors Flutter game!

The goal is to reproduce the top right pattern on the 9 center squares with as few moves as possible.

STILL IN DEVELOPMENT

Fun fact: this app was entirely developed on emacs!

Architecture

This app implements Didier Boelens' approach to BLoC. The idea is to show data through widgets that react to a bloc's Stream. In order to simplify state management, I've also implemented EventStates: blocs that emit a new widget's state based on an event.

Multiplayer

Multiplayer is handled by Firebase. A Firestore database stores all matches, queue and users information and all endpoints are Firebase Functions written in Typescript (project under directory functions).

• Queue

When a player looks for a new match, he's put in a FIFO queue and joins a match as soon as an opponent is found. A common target is chosen for them and whoever reaches the goal with the fewest amount of moves wins.

• Reconnection

Players can leave a match at any time and reconnect later. Active matches are stored on the device thanks to sqflite.

• Forfeit

Players can forfeit a match. This immediately triggers a win condition for the opponent.

• Move/Win/Challenge notification

Notifications are handled by Firebase Cloud Messaging. Every time a player is challenged, or an opponent plays a move, both players are notified.

If you want to use the online component, you can create a new Firebase project, create your own google-services.json and put it under android/app.

Singleplayer

The app comes with a sqflite db of 500 combinations of target fields + game fields. A random combination is chosen.
