I/O FLIP needed more ways to prevent cheating. If you’re lucky enough to land a hologram card, a special foil shader effect will be applied to the design.ĭart Frog: sharing code between the backend and frontend

Once the card is created, a border indicating its element is applied. He loves to cast spells and make people laugh.” Join the PaLM API and MakerSuite waitlist here.įlutter is used to compose the cards from a name, description, image and power using the GameCard widget. Based on the power a player selects at the beginning of the game, you may get a card description that provides context to the image, including the character’s special powers such as: “Dash the Wizard lives in a castle with his pet dragon. Images were pre-generated using two technologies pioneered out of Google Research: Muse, a text-to-image AI model from the Imagen family of models, and DreamBooth, a technique running on top of Muse that allows you to personalize text-to-image models to generate novel images of a specific subject using a small set of your own images for training.Ĭard descriptions were prototyped in MakerSuite and pre-generated using the PaLM API which accesses Google’s large language models. Elemental powers can impact each other in match play, indicated in the image below.Įach card in I/O FLIP is unique because it contains an AI-generated image and description. Cards are also randomly assigned an elemental power (air, water, fire, metal, earth) and a number between 10-100 indicating the card’s strength. Each card consists of an image of one of four Google mascots: Dash, Sparky, Dino, and Android, and a description – both of which are inspired by the class and power the user selects at the beginning of the game. Much of the logic in FLIP is based on the game cards, so they’re a good place to start. Since FLIP is a web app, it was important that it was responsive – resizing depending on the user’s screen size and that it took input from a variety of devices, mobile, tablet, and desktop. I/O FLIP’s game logic and UI is built on a foundation provided by features from the Flutter Casual Games Toolkit, including audio functionality and app navigation via the go_router package.
