Google showed how to create games without programming: just describe the idea

Google has launched an experimental platform, Playground, which allows users to create browser games using text prompts without programming skills.

Google's experimental Playground platform uses Gemini, Nano Banana and Lyria models along with a special Google system for game development. The user interacts with AI, chooses between 2D and 3D graphics, as well as single-player and multiplayer modes. To start, you can use ready-made prompts.

After generating a project, you can change physics, rules, characters, and environment. Google is also preparing integration with Unity Spark, which will allow moving from simple experiments to more complex games with professional mechanics, high-quality 3D graphics, and Unity engine capabilities.

Finished games run on smartphones and computers. They can be kept private, sent to friends via a link, or published in the Playground Explore gallery. Projects undergo security checks, and users can rate them and participate in rankings linked to their Google Play Games profile.

Currently, Playground is available in the US, later the platform will appear in other countries. Basic features are free, and advanced ones will be linked to a Google One subscription.
