Youtube Demo: Pirate Island

Inspiration

AhoyHacks Hackathon aims to bring together developers from around the globe to build something unique on the weekend. The theme of the hackathon & its motive is what inspired us to create Pirate Island. Pirate Island is a land of pirates, developers ( who wanna be Pirates ) visit the island, register themselves, buy some pirate gear, and then set sail to hunt for treasure.

What it does

• Pirate Island opens up with an Introduction Screen, which gives budding pirates a gist of all the app's features
• Logged in Pirates are directed to Pirate Shop from where they can buy their pirate gears i.e everything they need before starting their journey as a Pirate. The shop offers various categories like Hats, Robes, Weapons, Ships, etc
• On selecting an item from the Shop, the user is navigated to ProductDetails. This screen offers a clean & minimalistic UI/UX to the user
• The user can Buy products, add them to his Favourites inventory, Check-out. The User can view the Order history from the Profile tab
• After selecting the gears, the Pirate can choose the Map he wants to explore & Hunt treasure

How we built it

• The App ( Pirate Island ) is built using Flutter SDKs & Dart language. The Frontend was incorporated with Material-UI
• We used multiple Flutter packages to give the application a good look and feel

Challenges we ran into

• Since the theme of the hackathon was Pirates we thought to stick to it completely. We wanted to build something interesting & focussed more on the UI/UX & Flutter internals
• Until now, we developed a few apps but this time we wanted to go beyond & build something on another level

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• We are proud of developing an application from scratch within a weekend
• Creating a usable minimum viable product

What we learned

• Gained insights into Flutter internals like Provider State management, Material Page Route, etc
• Learned to embed Auth0 into a Flutter application

What's next for Pirate Island

• We invested most of our time building the UI & adding features to the app. Next, we will be adding user Login/SignUp using Auth0 authentication
• We will also be using Twilio to incorporate communication features into our application

Tech Stack Used

• Flutter SDKs & Dart
• Material UI for Frontend
• Firebase as Realtime Database
