Building NeonCity: A fast-paced mobile game made with React Native, Reanimated, and Expo

NeonCity is a casual game set in a futuristic 2077 city, developed by Woojae Lee and a fellow game designer, inspired by the series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. The game challenges players to perform swipe gestures corresponding to falling arrows to score points within a one-minute limit, enhanced by a fast-paced soundtrack and vibrant visuals. Built using React Native and Expo, the developers utilized NativeWind for consistent UI across platforms, a custom hook for efficient swipe gesture detection, and a sprite image technique to optimize performance by reducing re-renders. The sprite image method involves using a single, larger image to manage animations smoothly while maintaining high frame rates. Expo's tools, like EAS Build, streamlined the deployment process for both Android and iOS platforms. To encourage further development, the creators have made NeonCity open-source, inviting others to explore its code on GitHub.
