Gemini Game Hub

Description

The Gemini Game Hub is a web application that allows users to create, play, and modify simple HTML games using Google's Gemini AI. Users can provide a text prompt to generate a new game, play games created by others, and even iterate on existing games by providing further instructions.

Project Structure

The project is organized into a few key areas:

  • server.js: The main backend file that runs the Express server. It handles API requests for generating, saving, loading, and iterating on games.
  • public/: This directory contains all the front-end files that are served to the user.
    • index.html: The main landing page that displays a list of available games.
    • create.html: The page where users can enter a prompt to create a new game.
    • play.html: The page used to display and play a selected game.
    • iterate.html: The page that allows users to modify an existing game with a new prompt.
    • css/: Contains the stylesheets for the application.
    • js/: Contains the client-side JavaScript for interacting with the backend and managing the UI.
  • games.json: A file where the created games (name and code) are stored.
  • package.json: Defines the project's dependencies and scripts.
