Google launches Playground in Google Labs — AI tool that generates playable browser games
Google this week launched Playground, an experimental Google Labs service that generates playable in-browser games from natural-language prompts and optional uploaded assets via a chatbot-like interface. Reporters used Playground to create several short games (examples include "Pork Drop," "Dinner Darling," and a top-down shooter called "Neon Don"); the tool is similar in concept to Meta’s Horizon Create and lets anyone with a Google account build and play user-generated games.
