Google launches Playground, a new platform for making games with AI

A new experiment from Google Labs now lets anyone turn written ideas into playable games. The platform, named Playground , works entirely inside a web browser. Based in Mountain View, Google said the tool removes the need for programming skills. Instead of learning complex software, users type out what they want in plain words. A chat window is used to make changes to characters, rules, movement, and scenery. According to a blog post from the company, Playground targets people who have never touched code or a game engine. The process works like a conversation. A user writes a request, and the game is created for them to try right away in the browser. Games can be started from nothing, from a ready-made prompt, or with step-by-step help. Once a game exists, users can keep tweaking it by typing new instructions. Changes can cover how things move, what the rules are, who the characters are, or what the world looks like. Because the games live online, they can be o...

Sei Crypto Wallet to come pre-installed on Xiaomi phones

Xiaomi and The Sei Development Foundation, a non-profit that promotes the Sei network, have entered a global partnership that aims to promote mainstream blockchain adoption. From 2026, Xiaomi phones available outside mainland China and the United States will come pre-installed with a wallet and crypto discovery app developed by Sei Labs. This would definitely help increase the adoption of the network as Xiaomi is one of the biggest smartphone vendors in the world, just behind Samsung and Apple. Participating phones will be able to conduct peer-to-peer payments, explore Web3 products, and access decentralized applications without the need to download third-party apps. What’s more, Sei plans to implement stablecoin payments in over 20,000 Xiaomi stores, starting in Hong Kong and the European Union. Sei Labs aims to “build a decentralized NASDAQ” and targets to accommodate 200,000 transactions per second as it aims to shift the financial ecosystem on-chain. To make it possible, th...
