Interesting challenge, but I have a question: If I recall correctly, doesn't deploying an applet to Cloud Run require a billing account, which in turn incurs billing for the participant per run? Is the deployment part mandatory?

Hey @delaaja, great call out. Deployment is required, and Cloud Run actually has a substantial free tier, which should cover anything incurred from our judging usage. Please see this page here to see what's covered, so you can be aware while testing (pre-submission): https://cloud.google.com/run?e=48754805&hl=en#pricing

To be honest, I don't really understand the point of the challenge. The models that can actually generate something useful are all paid. Fine, I added billing. Now I’ve built a game, and it generates images during gameplay. The limit for the first tier is 70 requests per day. I have 4 images per run, so basically I used up all my requests just this morning and now I can’t even record a video of the game. I’ll have to wait until tomorrow.

The third model, imagen-3.0-generate-001, isn’t even available via API, it says it’s not supported. And to move to Tier 2, I apparently need to spend $300 somehow.

So overall, it’s not really clear what the organizers were expecting. I'll wait for tomorrow to record my demo videos but overall so far experience is not what I expected for the goal "Think interactive storytelling experiences, tools that process audio and visual content, platforms that understand and generate content across multiple media types."

ok, I found that gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview also can generate images - but Google AI Studio doesn't know how to use this model so in the end I fixed the code by myself.

Hey, this looks interesting. I'm experimenting a bit with AI studio, and initial results look promising. But as I evolve the app, I'm noticing that it's breaking things that were previously working. Should I ask it to write tests, or can I in some other way entice it to keep previous instructions into account, or ask me if anything seems contradictory?

Thinking about this a bit further, I suspect that this is a cxontext issue, where it just can't consider the whole context as I ask more and more iterations. Maybe a tool that compacts the conversation in AI studio would be good, to summarize to the agent what we already have.
