Cubed Conundrum

Inspiration

Well to be honest , the prizes inspired me to make a kick ass version of this puzzle ans show off that one can run embedded flutter applications on a raspberry pi.

What it does ?

It teaches cube rolling mechanics ( the hard way ) , and encourages the user to bend their mind a bit.

How we built it

This was built by spending hours sitting on a chair and staring at a computer screen ( with short pacing breaks in between of course) , To put it simply the raw power of Flutter and Dart was just harnessed to produce an impressive application with relatively little effort.

On a more technical note , for the Try it out on web part , I just did flutter build web Building it for raspberry pi is a bit more of a challenge , I suggest checking out : (https://github.com/ardera/flutter-pi)

Challenges we ran into

Programmers block , and also modelling a rolling cube is not such an easy task , don't believe me , try writing an algorithm that can solve this puzzle.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Managing to get this running smoothly on a raspberry pi after developing for linux desktop and only to start porting it to raspberry pi a few hours before the deadline. Not sure if this something to be proud of , but it does showcase the speed at which one can accomplish things with flutter. The cool cube animation is also something to be proud of.

What we learned

Flutter is cool , Dart is safe , Widgets are awesome, and ... don't fight the framework.

What's next for Cubed Conundrum

Well I cant say too much , but you might be seeing it running on hardware that is not commercially available , somewhere in the not so distant future ; )
