The Google I/O 2022 developer conference will be held on the 11th and 12th. Google will release the “pinball game” on the eve of the event. In addition to paying tribute to the classics, it also showcases its most popular programming tools.
Made by Flutter, this pinball game is an open source mobile application software development kit developed by Google, which allows developers to write software for Android, iOS, Windows, macOS and other systems and running on the Internet.
Open from Android to play, and Pinball will ask if you want to install it as an app on the home screen, illustrating Google’s efforts to blur web apps between native apps that run natively on iOS or Android. boundaries.
The game also uses a game engine called “Flame,” designed to speed up game development, Google developers mentioned in a blog post on Tuesday.
Cross-platform programming can be quite difficult due to interface differences, so this pinball game has made some adjustments. If using a computer browser, the user can use the left and right arrow keys on the keyboard to operate the pad, and the space bar can hit the marble; on the mobile phone, the user can click the left and right sides of the screen.
But different screen sizes may also cause some problems. For example, the Google Pixel 6 Pro was tested with the Chrome browser and found that due to the relatively narrow screen of this phone, the rocket icon used to launch the ball deviates from the edge of the screen.
