Cloud Runner 2049

About

Cloud Runner 2049 is a retro-futuristic, synthwave-inspired game designed to teach developers about Google Cloud Platform (GCP) in a fun and engaging way. Set in the neon-drenched metropolis of Synth City in the year 2049, you play as a skilled Cloud Runner who must help a rogue AI named Synthia thwart the evil plans of OmegaCorp, a mega-corporation seeking to control the digital realm known as the Matrix.

Gameplay

The game features a series of quests, each focusing on a different GCP service. You'll use your coding skills to complete challenges and progress through the story. As you complete quests, you'll earn points and climb the leaderboard, competing with other Cloud Runners to become the ultimate champion of the Matrix.

Who should play?

Cloud Runner 2049 is perfect for:

• Developers of all levels who want to learn GCP in a fun and interactive way.
• Cloud enthusiasts eager to explore new services and test their skills.
• Anyone who enjoys a good cyberpunk story with a retro twist.

How does it work?

The game evaluates progress by subscribing to the Audit Log of the Cloud Runner's GCP project and checks the configuration of resources using the Trillium service account. Game state and static assets are store in Firestore and Google Cloud Storage respectively. Gemini 2.0 Flash serves as the foundational model for Synthia.
