Alright, now that you’ve learned about what Flame can do, it’s time to introduce you to the game loop.

Flame dependency

First things first, open pubspec.yaml and add flame as a dependency for your project.

flame: ^1.8.2

FlameGame & GameWidget

In lib/main.dart, create a new instance of FlameGame and save it to a variable.

final game = FlameGame();
runApp(
  GameWidget(
    game: game,
  ),
);

MeteormaniaGame

Moving back to coding. In lib/meteormania_game.dart, let’s create a custom MeteormaniaGame.

import 'package:flame/game.dart';

class MeteormaniaGame extends FlameGame {
}
@override
Color backgroundColor() => const Color(0xff0b0018);
final game = MeteormaniaGame();
