谷歌推出了一款名为Playground的实验性平台，该平台能将文字提示转化为可玩的游戏。该公司周三在博客文章中表示，他们正与Unity合作以添加更高级的工具。
Google has launched Playground, an experimental platform that turns text prompts into playable games. It is teaming up with Unity to add more advanced tools, the company said in a blog post on Wednesday.
据谷歌介绍，Google Playground于今日向美国18岁及以上的用户开放。用户只需通过文字描述即可创作游戏，并能立即进行测试，通过提问来更改物理效果、规则、角色或场景，全程无需编写代码。
Google Playground opens today to users in the US aged 18 and over. People describe a game, test it right away and change the physics, rules, characters or setting by asking, with no coding required, according to Google.

该平台的技术支持是什么？谷歌发言人尼亚·卡特（Nia Carter）向The Verge透露，Playground运行在谷歌现有的文本、图像和音乐模型Gemini、Nano Banana和Lyria之上。她表示，谷歌将这些模型与其针对自主开发游戏进行微调的定制软件结合在一起。
What powers it Playground runs on Gemini, Nano Banana and Lyria, Google’s existing models for text, images and music, Google spokesperson Nia Carter told The Verge. Google pairs them with custom software it tuned on games it built itself, she said. The tool is free.
该工具是免费的。卡特告诉The Verge，Google One订阅用户每周可以根据其套餐使用更多的令牌。
Google Oners can use more tokens each week, depending on their plan, Carter told The Verge. Sharing and play Playground runs in the browser, so people can play on phones and laptops.
分享与游玩 Playground在浏览器中运行，因此用户可以在手机和笔记本电脑上进行游戏。创作者可以将游戏设为私密、通过链接分享，或者将其发布到Playground Explore展示库中。该展示库根据玩家评分和游玩活跃度对游戏进行排名。
Creators can keep a game private, share it by link or publish it to the Playground Explore gallery. The gallery ranks games by player ratings and play activity. Select genres support leaderboards and multiplayer.
部分游戏类型支持排行榜和多人模式。玩家可以使用Google Play游戏资料来认领昵称并关注创作者。谷歌表示，每一款发布的游戏都要经过安全筛查，并且用户可以举报游戏。此前，谷歌曾将其他一些人工智能功能仅限于美国用户使用。
