Flutter

if you are already expert on technologies you mentioned and know exactly how to work with them you might see investition to flutter as burden. Otherwise: Just go on with flutter & flame and see if it fullfills your requirements and could fit to your exact requirements.

Generally, flutter is already solid, and usable in context you mentioned. There's also plenty of resources to test if it would be ok to you before investing a lot. Just pick a demo project, get it running, and see results.

If you decide to invest you can take a working seed project generated to you

Note: Flutter + Flame expect you to learn dart - it's easy, as the language is close to js / c / .. so: algol style syntax - it also expects you to understand reactive ui's - well: concept is insipired by React, so no suprises here, except that the whole concept needs some discipline.

Still to mention: For 3d games you still should see unity as solid option. And, as also with react native, you would find integration to flutter possible and supported by 3rd parties. Don't expect this to work always out of the box as a dream, but see it as a doable thing if you need to step to this road.

As an inspiration I give you idea what kind of extensions Flutter offers, if you decide to invest on it.. This is more fun thing, but as a junior developer learning stuff and doing things out of interest this might be something to you.

Without knowing more details about what kind of gameplay elements you're looking to feature in your application, it's a bit tricky to offer a transparent answer. I would feel more comfortable making my decision once I flesh out what I need the UI to do, (which will depend on how much you have drafted out)

If you go down the flutter route, you'll need to be prepared to learn about flutter's state management system more found here. On top of that, if you're used to working with tree diagrams and archiectures, you might feel quite at home as you go about building the UI. If you're familiar with design patterns, the typical AppState that's offered is not the same as the standard state design. All in all, It's a very flexible framework, so it can be easy to get distracted seeing all the different avenues you can take to the myriad of problems you'll come to face (in this case, building the foundation and/or an overhaul of your game). If you do end up going with Flutter, I would recommend sticking with Provider, Bloc, or standard AppState to get the hang of things.

Overall, I think I can offer one more damning question to ask yourself that I think might help establish a sense of direction:

How much of the gameplay happens in the UI? - E.g, incremental games like cookie clicker take place "in the UI" itself If there's a fair amount of UI changes and moving parts to what you have planned, I think flutter's a pretty good choice. Just keep in mind that the more complex the project, the less you may be able to lean on flutter's innate speed and functionality.

• If you for whatever reason develop during periods of time in which you lack internet connectivity, I would stay away from flutter because you need to be able to run dart pub get whenever you want to compile your project (if memory serves)

For developing an application like Zomato or Foodpanda, a robust tech stack is crucial. Given your expertise in Java and Angular, a recommended stack would be using Java for the backend and Angular for the frontend. This combination is powerful for building scalable, secure, and dynamic web applications. Java provides a strong backend foundation with its reliability and performance, while Angular offers a comprehensive frontend framework for creating interactive user interfaces. This stack ensures a seamless integration between the frontend and backend components of your application, making it an ideal choice for your project.

For developing an application like Zomato or Foodpanda, considering your expertise in Java and Angular, the recommended stack would be:

Web Microservices architecture for scalability and flexibility. Angular for the frontend framework. Amazon Web Services (AWS) for cloud services due to its robust features and scalability. For the database, a combination of SQL for structured data and NoSQL for unstructured data can be beneficial.

If you opt for microservices, the recommended languages would be Java for backend services due to your expertise, along with other languages like Python or Node.js for specific microservices based on their strengths and requirements. This approach can leverage the strengths of different languages for specific functionalities within your microservices architecture.

If you like Postgres then Supabase, if MySQL then appwrite. Appwrite has better SDKs for dart/flutter

blazor can be used for small projects but react is in demand and easier to learn

Nowadays, you can do almost everything with every language depending on preference. If you want to start solid, I recommend JavaScript followed by TypeScript. You can make killer web apps, cross platform mobile apps with ReactNative and backend with Node.js. if you already know that you like C# you can also make web apps with it, cross platform apps with Xamarin but also Desktop apps with unity (also a must for anything game or 3d related). Kotlin is next on my list, it's a powerful language compatible with Java and you can make killer Android apps with it, if you can also leverage Swift or objective C, you can use Kotlin Multiplatform to also include iOS apps, web apps with spring and also solid backend code. Python is good if you are keen on machine learning and backend. I am a Flutter Dev myself, if you love Flutter, it can make great mobile apps with flat learning curve (it's easy) with also the ability to make anything cross platform.

In conclusion, I think starting of with JavaScript is a solid choice. If you like C#, it could be your best choice instead, and a must if you want to go into games. Thirdly, Kotlin is pretty popular and capable and loved. And finally, flutter is easy and function.

See, As you mention you know almost all the programming language but do not stick to any programming I suggest you do 9-5 jobs as per your knowledge and do at least 2 years and make it perfect. This helps you make it perfect in specific programming. I hope you got the answer.

You can use any backend you want with Flutter, so PHP is fine. AppWrite might be worth taking a look at as it is written in PHP, seems to be in active development and is geared towards being a backend for mobile apps.

Since your backend will likely expose its functionality over HTTP, you can definitely use PHP in combination with Dart/Flutter. You can use whatever as your backend.

Since Flutter is backed by Google, you get lots of great functionality out-of-the box if you are using Firebase as your backend though. You can even get very far without writing any backend-code. I would recommend having a look at that as well.

Just use the language you're most proficient and can iterate quickly with - of a, perhaps, larger concern - where is your backend?

Sure, you may be leveraging other services but I presume you're still going to log information about transactions and whatnot

I like to use nodejs with prisma ORM, you can also use Typescript, its very easy to learn and Prisma provides a own studio that helps you with the database; another option is PHP with Laravel with the Eloquent ORM, or you can still in your current stack, anyways i recommend you to use Redis from cache database, this will make your app or website very fast

While I personally tend to favor FastAPI for my projects, I think Django is the right choice for many. You'll get more feature out of the box, including an ORM, which should allow you to develop your project faster. FastAPI is indeed fast, but utilizes async Python that may be unfamiliar to some devs. Django also has added some async features recently, and those are optional. Also, while FastAPI is great for APIs because it can auto-generate your API docs for you, it sounds like you are not going to have a public API so this may not be needed in your project. And Django has plugins like Django Rest Framework to help create nice REST API endpoints.

I want to point that, you can still have a fullstack app with next.js with T3 Stack (Next.js + tRPC + TypeScript + Prisma) so your api/server is collocated with your front-end. You can prototype quickly and pivot after to all first if your app grow

I think this is a good choice, so many design elements are considered for you such that even if you're not a great designer, as long as you're focused on layout and functionality it's relatively trival to go in later and apply themes and custom widgets. I'm using flutter for the same reasons as you it sounds like and for what it's worth people have been extremely pleased with the tools I've built for them even though I didn't really consider design. Knowing I don't have to worry about making things pretty for them to be attractive to end users is a huge boon for me and I hope it can be for you as well.

RE Flutter Web, I'm sure it will improve with time, I've only ever really seen it slow when it's first starting up. but once the app is "loaded" into the web server so to speak, it's generally been pretty performant assuming I'm doing things like caching appropriately.

I got a task at my previous company to compare between Flutter and RN and Xamarin. And Flutter was the better choice among the others, that was before version 3, and now after version 3 it becomes better, so I would recommend Flutter for you.
