Take the FLUTTER CLOCK CHALLENGE and WIN a FREE Apple iMac PRO and other exciting prizes

Yes that's true.

Just make a Clock in Flutter to Win a Free iMac Pro and other exciting prizes from Google.

Let us see how YOU can do this as well.

If you are a beginner, then don't worry !!!

Awesome team at Flutter has given a complete repo for the basic clock logic. You just have to design and submit your own idea.

Flutter

Let us start taking the Challenge !

Steps :

  1. Head on to official GitHub repo of Flutter Clock.

  2. Choose a sample clock and enter that folder using:

    • Sample clock 1: Basic analog clock.
    • Sample clock 2: Basic digital clock.
  3. Run the clock app in your IDE, or by using flutter run at the command line.

  4. Build your clock inside a folder called _clock.

    • You can build upon the existing code (analog_clock or digital_clock), or you can start from scratch ( flutter create <name>_clock ). If you are new to Flutter, check out the Write your first Flutter app codelab.
  5. Prepare your clock for submission:

    • Format the Dart code.
    • Verify that your clock builds and runs on the latest Flutter stable channel.
    • In your _clock directory, reduce the clockโ€™s size: Delete the _clock/ios, _clock/android, and _clock/web (if present) folders.
    • Run flutter clean. d. In your /flutter_clock folder, zip these two folders:
    • flutter_clock_helper (unedited)
    • _clock (your clock)
  6. Verify that your .zip file works, using the following steps :

flutter channel stable
flutter upgrade
unzip <project>.zip
cd <name>_clock
flutter create .
flutter run (on Android or iOS in landscape)

Flutter Clock

  1. Submit your clock.
