Google Labs is developing a new AI-powered game-creation platform called Playground, designed to let users build browser-based games using simple text prompts, according to TechCrunch.
How it works
The platform aims to lower the barrier to game creation by allowing users to describe what they want in plain language rather than requiring traditional coding or game-design skills.
Early stage
TechCrunch's report characterised the project as experimental, suggesting it is still in development. The report did not specify a public release timeline or detail the full range of game types the platform would support.
Google has in recent years expanded its AI experimentation efforts through Google Labs, testing a range of tools before deciding which to bring to wider release.
