How to Host Your Google Gemini Game Online

Can Gemini make playable games?

Yes! Google Gemini can generate HTML games when you ask it to. You can request simple games like Snake, Pong, quizzes, or even more complex projects. Gemini will output HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code that runs in a browser.

The challenge is sharing that game with others. Gemini gives you code, not a playable link. That's where hosting comes in.

How to get game code from Gemini

First, ask Gemini to create your game. Try prompts like:

• "Make me a Snake game in HTML"
• "Create a typing speed test as a single HTML file"
• "Build a simple platformer game I can play in my browser"
• "Generate a trivia quiz about science"

Gemini will respond with code. To copy it:

1. Look for the code block in Gemini's response
2. Click the copy button (usually in the top-right of the code block)
3. If there's no copy button, select all the code manually and copy

Tip: Ask Gemini to "put everything in a single HTML file" for easiest hosting.

How to host your Gemini game on Star

Step 1: Go to Star's hosting page

Open buildwithstar.com/host in a new tab.

Step 2: Paste your code

Make sure "Paste Artifact" is selected, then paste the HTML code from Gemini into the text box.

Step 3: Name and host

Give your game a name, then click "Host My Game." You'll get a link instantly that you can share with anyone.

What if my Gemini game doesn't work?

Sometimes AI-generated code needs tweaks. Here's how to fix common issues:

• Blank screen: Ask Gemini to check for JavaScript errors and fix them
• Missing pieces: Make sure you copied the complete code block
• Multiple files: Ask Gemini to "combine everything into one HTML file"
• Broken images: Ask Gemini to use inline SVGs or emoji instead of external images

You can also paste your code back into Gemini and say "this game isn't working, can you fix it?" It's usually good at debugging its own code.
