Swedish Skies
Welcome to Swedish Skies! A low-poly firefighting simulator that uses Google's Gemini AI to fetch real-world wind conditions and simulate wildfire spread.
This game became the winner of the Gaming Track at the Google Cloud AI Hackathon in Stockholm.
It was created as a proof-of-concept in just 6 hours, entirely without writing a single line of code, showcasing the current power of AI in game development.
🎮 You can run the version with pre-configured Gemini API key here:

Otherwise, the weather data won't be available.
Overview
How to Play
A keyboard is required for controls.
- U — Fetch real-world wind conditions for your plane's current location.
- T — Start a fire on the ground below you (must be flying low). The fire will then spread according to the latest wind data.
- G — Drop water to extinguish the flames.
- To refill your water tank, fly low and fast over any lake.
The "No-Code" Development Process
For those interested in the development, the general approach to create this game was:
- Generate a Game Design Document using an AI prompt.
- Generate a single HTML file with Three.js for the simple 3D environment.
- Iterate on the HTML file with further prompts to add features and refine the look and feel.
- Integrate the Gemini API for fetching the live weather data.
Future of This Project
I intend to preserve this project as-is – a snapshot of what was possible with AI game development tools in mid-2025. I may create a similar project in a year or two to see how much the technology has progressed!
