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
