Can I play a video, behind the clock for a few seconds? using stack.

The image on the contest page (https://flutter.dev/assets/clock/Lenovo-WTM-c2e515298b46c86d73b91c2cfc515eb6ba9a9e601009219245562d5d65c43d7f.png) seems to imply efforts should be concentrated on a landscape clockface, is this true? The rules/faq don't mention orientation preferences. Please confirm.

Hi Flutter team, are we allowed to use sources with license CC 4.0?

I would like to know if i can manage the clock state with one of the next packages:

• https://pub.dev/packages/provider
• https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_bloc

And if it does, Does the size of the project affect the evaluation criteria?

When I TAB on screen setState() is called from ClockCustomizer class. This class is in flutter_clock_helper lib.

Because of setState() is called and animation is set from starting position That's why animation got problem

Can I use the new google_fonts package to set fonts in my app? Since the are "fetched once via http at runtime" would it disqualify due to the fetch from internet part?

Hi,

I'm wondering if other freely available assets can be used, such as images that are licensed CC0 or CC-BY?

The rules state that any assets need to be licensed under BSD-3, but it would make sense for me that I should be able to use assets licensed under for example CC0.

Im not really interested in the competition, however I would like to program a new face for my own clock, it requires making a network request, to update the display periodically, so its outside of the rules of the competition. Anyway I just wanted to know once something is designed and coded, how would I get it on the clock, is that even possible?

In the ClockCustomizer class are comments that says "Contestants: Do not edit this."
May I create and use my own ClockCustomizer to change the UI? (or update the ClockCustomizer?)

Sample Clocks's orientations are Portrait. Looks like this. N:1

Then it should looks like this ? N:2

Which one ? N1 Or N2
And application's default orientation should be landscape ? or Judges will rotate themselves ?

Thank you.

For instance, could we add a slider to change clock brightness?

Is there any limit on which version of dart can be used? Or the real question is: can extension functions be used, requiring dart 2.6.0?

First of all thanks for conducting this awesome contest.

I'm using an image download from https://besthqwallpapers.com with some modifications.

How do I know if the image is copyrighted since I'm able to download it for free?

Do I need to use a license? If Yes, How to obtain one?

The ClockModel currently has all the configuration options except the theme. What is the best practice for listening for a theme change in the ClockCustomizer?

I would like to use the current location, but the the location provided in the ClockModel says "Mountain View, CA". Am I allowed to transform the location to coordinates via the Play Services?

Just wanted to know what should / should not be inside our git repositories.
If we have cloned whole repo does the whole repo with both example clocks, original README.md, flutter_clock_helper directory have to be present in our own repo?

I have some ideas to do some cool things based on a rough location. A string isn't enough, I need lat/long coordinates. Is it acceptable to use the location permission on the device? I don't see anything against this in the rules (we aren't collecting the data), but wanted to check.

The other option is to modify ClockCustomizer and add a latitude / longitude field with defaults.

I'd like to know if it is allowable to create a binary clock for the challenge.

Hey Google!

To begin with, I want to thank you for the great competition that I can be a part of! So, I have downloaded a font from fonts.google.com (which is licensed as OFL), but:

1. i'm using only numbers from that font,
2. I have slightly changed the way it look
3. and the most important thing — I'm using it as vector image (SVG).

So question is — do I need to specify the original font and it's license? Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Roman

Hello Google.
Thanks for organizing such a contest.
I am a Flutter novice and there are certain issues I have not quite understood with the submission requirements

• The clock face developed should not have user interaction (such as tapping, gestures, dragging, mouse, keyboard, and so on) but once I run the initial digital clock I get a settings Icon on tap. That I don't really understand.

• The clock seems to depend a lot on the flutter_clock_helper directory but I don't quite understand why, since we are expected to submit this directory unedited. I actually don't really understand the importance of the flutter_clock_helper directory.

-Next, the submitted clock should show only the time as indicated but the customizer.png image in the flutter clock helper directory shows other parameters such as temperature.
Please, I will like to have a more detailed explanation of the contest submission requirements in general and also on the flutter_clock_helper directory.
Thanks in advance.
Ronny.

So the official rules states the following to get started:

this already has a licence file. If I am to build on top of some fundamental concepts in this example app Do i NEED to leave this licence file?

later in the instructions it states that I must add a licence that meets the following:

This will create a copyright under my name. what licence is appropriate to use?

should the clock i build be analog or digital or it doesn't matter which one i build

Can we use third party packages

I have a question regarding this that Lenovo Smart Display always works in landscape mode ?

If yes, it means that the width > height ?

Am I right ?

Settings give the possibility to set Celsius vs Fahrenheit, but what's the point of it if there's no way to get temperature information in the first place since network requests are forbidden?

In clock challenge can I add Date for better look ?

I try to debug the UI but flutter Inspector not working

I tried following steps but no use,..

I check my Flutter environment ,
widget tracking disable option

can i use any api for real time weather data?

Can I use part of this asset in my clock?

Thanks.

Can I use GNU GPL (Free for Commercial Use) font??? Or only OFL is recommended

can i add the digital clock with analog clock at the same app

Rule says that no direct user interaction like user taps gestures are allowed. But is it permitted to include some indirect interaction by taking reading from accelerometer and gyroscope to determine the orientation of the device and detect user shakes and react according to it?

Does analog_clock/ digital_clock follows 5:3 aspect ratio

I submitted my clock but now how do I get the confirmation that I am in the contest

Hi
Can we use flare animations?

Do i have to provide a license for a self made font?

Daylight hours information may be important even more than weather for many users.

The user will decide which interface to use and how to customize it, but as a clock interface developer, I need this info without network requests.

Could sunrise and sunset times be added to the clock model?

Is there any documentation available how to run the clock face on a Lenovo Smart Clock or any other smart clock?

The default customizer class gives us a container and its in 5:3 ratio? So if my make my clock within that constraints, its all right ?

I have submitted a clock. But have to make a few minor changes. In the faqs, it is mentioned

Yes, as long as your changes occur before January 20th, 11:59pm PST (GMT - 8).

Is making these changes only on the GitHub repo enough or the codebase should be zipped and resubmitted.

As this competion is concentrating on clock can we provide fake weather and location information?

Does the clock need to be adaptive to screen size? I know it needs to be 5:3.

when i try to change the location given by the clockHelper class using the textField in web, it suddenly stops working. If I host that clock and I submit the link of it , will it affect my submission.

Can I edit the flutter clock helper class?

is it mandatory to use the flutter clock helpers or download the flutter clock repository. Can i start from scratch?

I'm not sure if this was made on purpose, but the default analog clock seconds hand is going out of boundaries of the clock. I noticed that when drawing the hands, the strokeCap is set to square, so in the end the hand size is bigger than expected, since the size of the seconds is set to the half of the shortest side. I guess the hands are customize-able and we can put there whatever we want.

If we try to pixel perfect fill a container with tiles inside the 5/3 aspect ratio, there will be an overflow since customizer.dart contains a 2.0 pixels border. @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { final clock = Center( child: AspectRatio( aspectRatio: 5 / 3, child: Container( decoration: BoxDecoration( border: Border.all( width: 2, color: Theme.of(context).unselectedWidgetColor, ), ), child: widget._clock(_model), ), ), );

Can we change that one or please change it and make container background grey for visibility instead of a border.
