Building a Flutter App for Ubuntu
summary
Live coding shows a Flutter desktop app running on Ubuntu built with the Flutter SDK, Yaru theme and the yaru_widgets package, wiring a local maze-generation library into a stateful MazeDisplay that renders cells with BoxDecoration and containers. Uses Dart 2.17 enums for algorithm selection, a tween-driven animation stepping through ~400 frames, and demonstrates that hot reload doesn’t re-run initState so a full restart is often required (hot reload requires full restart). Binary size in production is around 5 MB.
