Project Description
I need a straightforward yet polished Ludo game built as a single code-base mobile app that runs smoothly on both iOS and Android. The core experience must cover three play modes:
• single-player against a competent AI,
• local multiplayer on one device, and
• online multiplayer so friends can connect remotely.
Visuals can stay true to the classic board, so there’s no demand for heavy 3-D assets; consistency, clear colors, and intuitive touch controls matter more. A lightweight, modern game engine or framework—Unity, Flutter, React Native, or any solution you’re comfortable with—is fine as long as it delivers fast startup times and reliable cross-platform builds.
Game logic should follow standard Ludo rules, including safe squares, home paths, and dice rolls with believable randomness. For online play, a simple real-time lobby and room system with basic chat is enough. I’ll provide the necessary app-store accounts and any branding assets once development is under way.
Deliverables I’ll review before sign-off:
1. TestFlight and Google beta links (or APK/IPA builds) proving the three modes function as described.
2. Complete, well-commented source code and project files.
3. Brief setup notes so another developer can compile and publish future updates.
If this scope looks clear, tell me which tech stack you’d choose and a realistic timeline for hitting the first playable milestone.
