Flutter Midsommer Madnesss
This is a submission for the June Solstice Game Jam
When you have a hammer- everything is a nail!
This installment brings a Flutter build to Midsommer Madness via Antigravity.
A complete Android APK is built with Flutter and some Joystick bugs are fixed!
What I Built
When it comes to Summar Solstace - the place to be is Sweden. It is one of the highlights of the calendar.
This project aimed to recreate some of the mystique around the event- just in time for some fresh surestromming!
Now you can get it on the GO!
Midsommer Madness now in as an Android APK!

Midsommer Madness game in Flutter / Web view
Midsommer Madness 🇸🇪
Midsommer Madness is a Swedish-themed action retro arcade game inspired by Redneck Rampage and the Swedish Midsummer holiday.
Help Sven race against the solar timer to reach the Maypole (midsommarstång) before sundown! If you fail, the solstice is lost, you trigger a meltdown, and you are sacrificed to the Wicker Man.

🎮 Level Sequence
The game features ten distinct thematic levels:
IKEA Warehouse: Battle crowded, flatpack-carrying shoppers who throw box projectiles at you.
Systembolaget: The state-owned liquor shop crowded with drunk Swedes stumbling and lobbing green beer bottles.
Lördagsgodis: Sugar rush Saturday! Dodge hyperactive, strung-out Swedish kids throwing sweet candy projectiles.
The Swedish Pub: Sing along with Frank Zappa fans singing "Bobby Brown" (shouting and firing glowing letters B, O, B, B, Y).
Volvo Highway: A survival lane-crossing level where…

Appreciating Procedural Creation
Midsommer Madness is a Swedish-themed retro action-arcade game built as a hybrid mobile/web application. The
codebase combines a Flutter wrapper (serving as the native shell) with a Vanilla Web App (implementing the core
game loop, visuals, and audio synthesis).
Below is a detailed breakdown of how the application works, its files, and its core subsystems.
──────
### 🏛️ High-Level Architecture

A[Native Android/iOS App] -->|main.dart| B[WebViewWidget]
B -->|Loads local asset| C[assets/index.html]
C -->|Styles & Layout| D[assets/index.css]
C -->|Game Logic & Rendering| E[assets/game.js]

──────
### 📱 1. Native Flutter Wrapper
The Flutter container configures the device environment and embeds the web canvas in a native web view.
• Orientation & Screen Lock: main.dart locks the screen orientation to Landscape ( DeviceOrientation.
landscapeLeft / DeviceOrientation.landscapeRight ).
• Immersive Mode: It sets the system UI to a sticky immersive fullscreen mode ( SystemUiMode.immersiveSticky ),
hiding status and navigation bars.
• WebView Integration: A WebViewWidget loads the local asset index.html.
• Audio Gesture Bypassing: On Android, webviews usually block autoplay sounds unless there is a physical user
click. main.dart explicitly bypasses this restriction ( setMediaPlaybackRequiresUserGesture(false) ) so that
background music and procedural SFX start seamlessly.
• Mobile Styling Injector: Once the webpage loads, Flutter injects an android-app CSS class into the HTML root
element ( document.documentElement ), enabling mobile-specific media styles and virtual joysticks configured in
index.css.
──────
### 🎨 2. UI, Lore, & Styling (HTML/CSS)
• Canvas Shell: index.html holds the <canvas> element surrounded by a Glassmorphism UI using Swedish
national colors (blue and yellow).
• HUD: A top HUD bar tracks current sundown limits (timers), level names, objectives, and music toggles. A bottom
HUD panel displays Sven's current energy bar, surströmming ammo inventory, and final score.
• Mobile Controls Overlay: Virtual touchscreen overlays (a virtual joystick zone and melee/ranged button zones)
are embedded in index.html and dynamically activated on mobile/Android layouts.
• Lore and Info Cards: Left and right sidebars on desktop teach the player how to play, detail power-ups
(Köttbullar/Meatballs and Knäckebröd/Crispbread), and outline the level-by-level progress.
──────
### 🕹️ 3. Core Game Engine ( game.js )
All game logic, physics, entity updates, and audio generation are written in vanilla JavaScript inside
game.js.
#### 🔁 Fixed-Timestep Game Loop
To ensure gameplay runs consistently at 60Hz across both older mobile devices and high-refresh-rate monitors, the
game.js class utilizes a fixed accumulator-based loop inside game.js:
while (this.accumulator >= this.timestep) {
if (this.currentState === this.states.PLAYING) {
this.update(this.timestep);
}
this.accumulator -= this.timestep;
}
this.render();
#### 🎵 Procedural Web Audio Synthesizer
Instead of loading large MP3/WAV files, the game generates all audio procedurally via the Web Audio API using the
game.js class:
• Interactive Sound Effects: Custom waveforms (sine, triangle, sawtooth) are programmatically modulated using
exponential ramps for pitch and gain to synthesize actions like swing swipes, explosions, and powerups.
• Level-Specific Music: The background track adapts to the current level context by altering scale arrays (e.g. D-
Dorian for the Swedish Pub level, A-Minor for Avicii Rave, or C-Minor Disco for the ABBA finale) and BPM tempos.
#### ⚔️ Combat & Gameplay Mechanics
• Objective: Sven must navigate each map and find the Exit Portal (or the Maypole in the final level) before the
Level Timer reaches zero (sundown).
• Game Over (Meltdown): If the timer runs out, Sven gets sacrificed to the pagan spirits (a node to Midsommar /
The Wicker Man), resulting in a "Meltdown" Game Over.
• Weapons:
• Melee: Sven swings a hockey stick (implemented via game.js) to damage nearby enemies.
• Ranged: Sven throws Surströmming Cans (game.js) which explode upon impact, releasing a green gas
cloud (game.js) dealing Area-of-Effect (AoE) damage over time.
• Power-Ups: Sven gathers meatballs ( MeatballItem restores health/energy) and crispbread ( KnackebrodItem
awards shields and temporary speed boosts).
#### 👾 Swedish-Themed Levels & Enemies
Each of the 10 levels features custom background grids, colors, difficulty configurations, and specialized
subclasses inheriting from game.js:
1. IKEA Warehouse: Dodging flatpack-carrying shoppers (game.js).
2. Systembolaget: Drunk Swedes throwing glass bottles (game.js).
3. Lördagsgodis: Strung-out Swedish children throwing sweet candies (game.js).
4. The Swedish Pub: Zappa fans throwing musical notes (game.js).
5. Volvo Highway: Fast racing Volvos zooming across lanes (game.js) where survival-based crossing is key.
6. Dalarna Forest: Wooden Dalarna Horses performing sudden dash attacks (game.js).
7. Allemansrätten: Collecting cloudberries while dodging aggressive stomping elks (game.js).
8. Kvinnafängelset: Escape the women's prison guarded by guards throwing handcuffs (game.js).
9. Avicii Rave: Neon-glowing ravers throwing glowsticks (game.js).
10. ABBA Disco: Metallic ABBA bots shooting laser balls (game.js) around the final Maypole objective.

I have successfully added the Lördagsgodis level to Midsommer Madness, featuring hyperactive, sugar-rushed
children throwing Saturday candy at Sven!
### Summary of Changes
Level Setup ( game.js ):
• Inserted Lördagsgodis as game.js in the levels array, shifting following levels up to Level 10
(ABBA Disco).
• Updated all final-level check logic throughout game.js from Level 9 to Level 10.
Added CandyKid & Lordagsgodis Classes ( game.js ):
• Defined game.js and game.js right after the Drunkard class.
• Behavior:
• CandyKid has high speed (1.8), low health (35), and throws sweets rapidly.
• Kids shiver/vibrate rapidly on screen to depict their extreme sugar rush.
• Lordagsgodis are fast-moving candy projectiles (round jelly drops, square sweet gel blocks, and candy
star crosses) that rotate in flight and come in a variety of bright colors.
Music & Audio:
• Modified game.js to include a happy, hyperactive 150 BPM C Major chiptune track for Level 3
(Lördagsgodis).
• Shifted level conditions in game.js to map Levels 8, 9, and 10 to their respective custom chiptune
hooks.
UI & Documentation:
• renumerated the sidebar tracker list in index.html to show the 10-level layout.
• Updated the level progression descriptions in game_overview.md.
