README excerpt

# 🎮 FlexGameFactory

**An AI-powered game factory that automatically transforms trending news into playable web games.**

FlexGameFactory is a fully automated pipeline: it fetches real-world news, generates themed HTML5 games with AI-selected board-game mechanics, creates cover art, and publishes everything — all with zero human intervention.

## ✨ How It Works

```
News API → Report → AI Game Builder → HTML5 Game + Cover Art → Git Push → Library
```

1. **News Search** — A FastAPI service (`news_search/`) fetches and summarizes trending news via the Gemini API, saving reports as `report.md` files into `junda_games/<topic>/`.
2. **Game Builder Worker** — A background worker (`game_builder_worker.py`) polls `junda_games/` for directories that have a `report.md` but no `index.html`. For each pending game, it invokes the Gemini CLI with the `generate_news_based_game` skill to autonomously build a full HTML/CSS/JS game.
3. **Cover Art Generation** — The skill uses the Nano Banana (Gemini image generation) API via `tools/nano_banana_gen.py` to produce a 16:9 `cover.png` for each game.
4. **Sync & Publish** — A sync worker (`sync_worker.py`) handles git auto-commit and push, keeping the remote repo up to date with newly generated games.
5. **Frontend Library** — A React + Vite frontend (`game-factory-fe/`) serves as a Steam-style game library where users can browse, play, and review generated games.
