Retro AI Arcade Night: Build the Game, Train the Player

​👾 Old-school pixels. Next-gen brains. 🎯

​Step back into the golden age of gaming and bring AI into the mix.

​Join Lightning AI and Voltage Park for a hands-on evening where you will:

​🎮 Code a retro-style game (think Pong, Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Breakout, or Snake) in the Lightning platform, solo or with a team

​🤖 Train an AI agent on Voltage Park GPUs to play (and hopefully master) the game you just built

​You will have access to all the tools, compute, and support you need with no setup required. Just bring your creativity, your coding skills (vibe coding support available), and a little competitive spirit.

​🏆 Prizes: First and second place will be awarded based on the best game of the night, plus serious bragging rights.

​📍 Location: Lightning AI HQ – San Francisco
🗓 Date/Time: Thursday September 25th, 6:00-8:30 PM
