🐠 Fishbowl Game

Fishbowl is a fun, team-based party game where players try to guess words or phrases from a "fishbowl" across three rounds each with different rules.
This project is a Flutter application prototype that allows teams to play Fishbowl digitally, no paper, no pens, no setup hassle!

💡 Project Idea

This project was born from a Team Building event where we wanted to play Associations (Fishbowl-style) but forgot paper and pens.
That moment inspired me to create a digital version of the game and to test how far I could go using AI-assisted app development.

I used GitHub Copilot to help generate code and build the app structure, and I wanted to explore how quickly a playable prototype could be made without manually writing much code.
The initial version took about one hour of communication with the AI agent.

🎯 Game Overview

The game consists of three rounds using the same set of words:

1. Round 1 – Taboo (Verbal Explanation):
   The player describes the word using any words except the word itself.

2. Round 2 – Charades:
   The player acts out the word without speaking.

3. Round 3 – One Word:
   The player can use only one word to describe the term.

Teams take turns trying to guess as many words as possible within the given time limit.

🧩 How It Works

1. Setup Screen

• Enter:
  • Number of teams
  • Number of players
  • Number of words per player
  • Time limit (seconds per turn)
• Then, input player names one by one.
• Once all players are added, the app will randomly assign players to teams.

2. Teams Overview

• The next screen displays all teams and their assigned players.
• Press Next to continue to the word submission phase.

3. Word Submission

• Each player enters their assigned number of words.
• When everyone has submitted their words, the game can begin.

4. Gameplay

• The screen shows:
  • The current team
  • The current round name and number
  • A Start button
• When the round starts:
  • The first word appears on screen.
  • A Correct button lets players confirm when a word is guessed.
  • Each correct answer increases the team’s score.
  • The round continues until all words are guessed or time runs out.

5. End of Game

• After all three rounds are completed, a Results screen shows the final team scores.

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Framework: Flutter
• Language: Dart
• IDE: Visual Studio Code
• Plugins: Flutter & Dart extensions for VS Code
• AI Assistance: GitHub Copilot

🚀 Future Improvements

• Persistent storage (save scores and teams)
• Improved UI/UX design
• Online multiplayer mode
• Sound effects and animations
• Round history and replay options

📱 Purpose

The goal of this project is twofold:

1. To create a digital Fishbowl game for fun and easy team-building sessions.
2. To explore how AI tools like Copilot can accelerate app development and make Flutter app creation accessible even without deep coding experience.

🌍 Open Source Vision

This project is intended to grow as an open-source community effort.
I would love for this app to live, evolve, and improve through collaboration, whether through design ideas, feature contributions, or code improvements.
