“What’s the point of 3D graphics without 3D physics?”

That’s the question me & @luanpotter27 kept asking ourselves.

So... we are building a whole new set of packages to bring 3D physics into the Flutter💙 & Flame🔥 ecosystem!

PS: keep an eye on the Flame Engine's GitHub 👀

アーロン・スナイプ首席公使は先日、ウェイランド・ユタニ社のショウジ・ユタニCEOと会談し、深宇宙探査における日米のさらなる連携について意見を交わしました。遠方の��星における大規模なテラフォーミングや大気浄化プロジェクトを検討するウェイランド・ユタニ社のような企業が現れる中、政府と民間企業の連携はかつてないほど強固なものとなっています。

Leave it to win32 to have "ERROR_MORE_DATA".

People are sleeping on Flutter. We just added 27 configurable shaders to FlutterFlow. Tweakable with sliders. Animate on scroll, tap, or hover. Bind to your theme and they just work.

One codebase. Runs on iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Linux, and web.

Show me another framework that does this.

In the #FlameEngine any component can be nested inside itself which is great for composition. We mirrors the same for Flame3D except for our light components… they could only be added to the game world 😢

But that is no longer the case! You can put a light wherever you want!

Things I didn't think I would be doing: writing Win32 Dart:FFI code.

[Kate Lovett @k8lovett]

You got that right! 💙
Come join us on the Flutter team - the iOS team is hiring too!

@MatejKnopp @bernaferrari @dart_lang It means not doing contortions to get dart:ui treated as a system package. You could package override it if you are feeling brave.

[John McDole @jtmcdole]

@jezell @HuyNguyenTw lol, I'd like to think that's true, but the number of times I've heard "but Flutter adds 10MB!" as a excuse to not use it makes me wonder.

[John McDole @jtmcdole]

@bernaferrari @MatejKnopp @dart_lang I am not in control of the major version number of Flutter.

[John McDole @jtmcdole]

@jezell @HuyNguyenTw *via chromium. Nothing like having a bunch of 200MB chromium apps floating around on your system.

[John McDole @jtmcdole]

@MatejKnopp You mean on desktop? We're investigating methods to close the gap for MSAA + Impeller on desktop.

[John McDole @jtmcdole]

@wolfenrain Do it.

[wolfenrain 💙🏳️‍🌈 @wolfenrain]

👀 glad I backed this project. Otherwise I would have had to join the #FlameJam2026 🔥☄️

As I've slowly migrated some projects to the HSM; I found myself needed a few more features; replace/copyWith:

@dahv @ue_man @_eseidel @fabianvarelab The Major number is not controlled by engineering.
