## Overview

Playground is an experimental Google platform for creating custom games through a conversational interface. You start from a blank canvas, remix a starter prompt or use guided help, then test the game right away and keep asking for changes to physics, rules, characters or environments.

Games run in the browser on phones and laptops. You can keep them private, share a link, or publish to the Explore gallery, with leaderboards and multiplayer in select genres. Google says a Unity Spark integration is coming for more advanced 3D games.

## Key features
