We (at DEV and MLH) are covering AI Engineer's World Fair by printing a physical newspaper called "The Daily Context" everyday of the conference.
We wanted to include a game in each issue so for today's first edition, we published a little word search affectionately named "Vector Search":
I built this game with AI Studio and deployed it to Cloud Run. It was super easy to put together and I love the little touches included in the game (answer reveal, confetti upon completion, etc). You can play it right here:
I discovered a funny little "bug" this morning right when we were about to go live with the digital version of the paper.
Or well, maybe I can't actually call it a bug. AI Studio went above and beyond and built me an app where the word search changed on every refresh as opposed to the static word search I had printed in the physical paper. The words being searched remained the same, which is why I didn't notice this immediately.
While a new word search is definitely a better gaming experience, attendees were told to visit the digital version of The Daily Context for their answers so I had to quickly simplify the app to ensure the print and digital versions matched. Certainly a type of problem that wouldn't have happened pre-AI!
Thank you to everyone who responded to my post last week:
If you didn't see your words used today, I'm sure it will pop up in our other games this week. Stay tuned for tomorrow's crossword!

Love how this came out!
My eye burns from looking at the letters. Once I figured the words can be backwards, I fainted lol.
Thoughh....I did complete it. Nice to see this Jess!
You're lucky I couldn't get diagonals to work easily 😄
Oh god I was hoping there wouldn't be any lol
What an awesome use case! Love word games so I'll be playing away 👀👀
