A quick and dirty demo showing how you can integrate Bevy into a Flutter app. The demo only works on iOS for now, but the same approach should work fine on Android.
All of the clever stuff is taken from this repo: https://github.com/jinleili/bevy-in-app
All I’ve done is put jinleili’s code in a platform view in a Flutter app. Not too hard to do, but I thought worth publishing as a proof of concept.
From the bevy directory, run sh ios_build.sh --release.
Then, from the flutter directory, run flutter run --release and run it on a physical device.
I initially avoided using platform views because the documentation seemed to suggest that the performance was bad, but after watching Dominik Roszkowski’s talk I was convinced to give it a go. I haven’t done any extensive performance testing yet, but my initial impressions are that it doesn’t seem to be an issue, at least not for a non-scrollable view with a couple of controls overlayed.
The documentation says “embedding iOS views is an expensive operation”, so I thought maybe the start-up time would be poor, but in fact it’s great. And we’re loading a whole game engine on start-up, so that’s really not too shabby.
