2048 Game 🕹 using Flutter - Animations added

I am building classical 2048 game using Flutter and here is the link to previous post

In this post, I want to share that I have added slide animations. It wasn't very easy to do so.

The single-cell is a stateful widget and it always stores old value. So old value slides out and new value slides in.

I am using a single animation controller which is being used by all the cells (16 total).

Every time there is a swipe I make the controller go forward.

Also for keeping track of swipe direction, I am using enums which makes it easier and faster to manage.

It can still be refactored a lot.

Next up is undo feature and show the 'game over' or 'you win' dialog

While browsing through algorithms to practice I came across a challenge which was to implement 'swipe left' on a given list of numbers.

So for instance, if you have a row like this:

var numbers = [2, 0, 2, 4, 4, 8]

and if you call leftSwipe(numbers) it should return

[4, 8, 8, 0, 0, 0]

I implemented it and thought of taking it to the next level and implement whole game logic.

So for the 2048 game, there are basically two components, (Which app doesn't have these two components 🤷🏻‍♂️)

So I implemented logic in pure #Dart
It basically has these components:

You can go ahead and have a look at the code for these steps here. I know, I know, I can refactor it. I will do it later. Eventually. Promise.

I have got the basic UI working which also you can check out on Github here

Things to add:

As of now, this is how app looks like:

Feel free to give stars to the repo, fork it, or send me some bitcoins.

Let me know what you think and if you would like future progress updates 😉
