Thanks for the write up. Wondering why not use something like Flutter for good cross platform support with good graphical performance on all systems.

One could argue that with agentic programming, releasing on a new platform is simply a matter of prompting for a new target, but I fear that the non-determinism of LLMs will lead into a whac-a-mole situation where you’re constantly fighting framework specifics and the code that the agent spit out to get to pixel perfect solutions across the platforms. Flutter in this case would be a more token efficient solution and quite fast on most platforms (particular the ones where their Impeller engine runs).

Historically, iOS has been a second class citizen performance wise in Flutter. I certainly wouldn't rely on it as a gaming company.
My (possibly outdated) take is that Flutter is all about Dart, and Dart is a Google thing w/ virtually no other adoption.
