This is the full source code for the Google Assistant game, Gnome Garden.

Plant your own garden with the help of your voice & your trusty garden gnome, G’norman.

G'norman is a curious gnome. Answer his whimsical ponderings, and he’ll sculpt what you say into a beautiful garden. Make sure to check on your garden (and G’norman) often before those pesky weeds (or beautiful wildflowers, whichever your POV) take over!

When it's all full, keep the zen garden by your side as you go about your activities, or delight in a new one if you fancy a daily change of scenery.

This game explores a new, experimental type of gameplay, offered by the ambient nature of smart displays in the home. We hope this game and the design process that we followed inspires you to create your own unique, ambient experiences.

This game has been designed for Nest Hub and Nest Hub Max smart displays and implemented using Interactive Canvas.
