🧠 Flutter Memory Match Game

📝 Description

This is a simple and engaging Flutter Memory Match Game in which players flip cards to identify matching pairs of emojis. It is an ideal beginner-level project for understanding Flutter UI principles, state management using setState(), and foundational game logic concepts such as matching, flipping, and resetting cards.

📱 Features

• 4x4 Emoji-based card grid
• Flip two cards to check for matches
• Matched cards stay revealed
• “Play Again” button after all pairs are matched
• Clean, minimal Material UI
• Pure Flutter — no external packages required

🚀 Getting Started

Follow these procedural steps to set up and execute the application:

1. Install Flutter

Follow the official Flutter installation guide: 👉 Flutter Setup Guide

2. Create a new Flutter project

flutter create memory_match_game

3. Replace the lib folder

Substitute the default lib directory with the provided tutorial codebase.

4. Run the application

flutter run

🧠 How It Works

The gameplay mechanism involves duplicating and shuffling a list of emojis to form matching pairs. Each grid tile represents a concealed card that can be flipped upon user interaction.

When two cards are flipped:

• If they match → they remain visible.
• If they do not match → they revert to their hidden state after a brief delay. Upon successful matching of all pairs, the application displays a “Play Again” button to restart gameplay.

💻 Core Code Overview

• _flipCard() → Handles the primary flipping and matching operations.
• _startGame() → Initializes a new shuffled deck for a fresh round.
• _isGameComplete → Validates completion status once all card pairs are matched. Additionally, the implementation employs AnimatedContainer for seamless color transitions during flip events.

🎨 Future Improvements

• Integrate advanced flip animations using AnimatedSwitcher or Transform widgets.
• Incorporate scoring metrics and time-tracking features.
• Introduce variable difficulty levels (3x4, 4x4, 6x6 grid configurations).
• Substitute emojis with scalable images or vector icons.
• Add immersive audio feedback and background music for enhanced user experience.
