SPEAKER 1: Have you played AppShip3000?
TIMOTHY JORDAN: No, but I'm ready to.
And I'm standing here with Abe, who helped build this fantastic
experience.
Abe, tell me all about it.
ABE HASKINS: Yes, this is AppShip3000.
This is a collaborative, Firebase trivia game,
where three people work together to launch their app ship
and hit their moonshot.
It's pretty crazy.
Played with arcade controllers out here
in this very loud situation, where
it makes you yell to each other and get all hyped up.
And it's a lot of fun.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Awesome.
So we're going to play it.
And maybe I'll give you the microphone,
and you can sort of narrate what's happening,
and maybe talk a little bit about the tech?
ABE HASKINS: Absolutely.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Great.
So for my fellow team players, we've got Doug over here.
Doug, take a bow.
And Todd over here, who you may know from such things
as Everything Todd Does.
[LAUGHTER]
All right, Abe.
I'm going to give you the mic.
ABE HASKINS: All right, awesome.
SPEAKER 2: Are we already logged in?
ABE HASKINS: Yup.
Everyone's already logged in, and they're
sitting with their rocket primed for ignition.
In order to take off, everyone has a specific color
they need to hit.
So let's give it a countdown.
In three, two, one, takeoff.
SPEAKER 2: Whoa!
Go, go, go!
ABE HASKINS: There we go.
There we go.
SPEAKER 2: Woo!
ABE HASKINS: Now, in the game of AppShip3000,
the very first thing that happens
is you will get prompted to ask, have you played before?
Everyone here has.
Good.
And we'll dive right into the game.
The very first question.
Who has it?
SPEAKER 3: I got it.
[INAUDIBLE]
ABE HASKINS: There you go.
There you go.
SPEAKER 3: Oh, no!
SPEAKER 2: Left, left!
ABE HASKINS: Those blinking things up at the top
are asteroids, which will absolutely destroy you.
[CHATTER]
SPEAKER 2: Left!
ABE HASKINS: Good, good.
[LAUGHTER]
SPEAKER 2: I have 98.
98?
ABE HASKINS: Good, good.
I'm amazed you knew that.
Good job.
[LAUGHS] How many Google engineers does it take?
[CHATTER]
Lovely.
Good call, good call.
You can not be a true Firebaser if you
think pineapples are ugly.
All right, while this game's running,
I'll talk a little bit about what's happening.
But it's a little hard since they're all
shouting all the time.
SPEAKER 2: I have 93 and 01.
ABE HASKINS: Wha--?
SPEAKER 2: I have 93.
[INAUDIBLE]
SPEAKER 3: [INAUDIBLE] 94.
ABE HASKINS: Somebody pick something.
You're running out of time.
Oh-oh.
SPEAKER 2: Oh-oh-oh.
ABE HASKINS: All right, all right.
So while they're playing this game, every movement they make
is being thrown off into the Firebase real-time database.
And the real-time database is taking that,
doing some analysis, updating high scores and things
like that.
So absolutely every move they make
is getting thrown off into Google Cloud and Firebase
for analysis.
[LAUGHS]
All right, all right.
Oh.
[GROANS]
You got to watch out for those asteroids, guys.
SPEAKER 2: It's not eight, is it?
ABE HASKINS: No, it is not eight.
It is definitely not eight.
Op, we're low on fuel.
Low on fuel.
If you miss this next question, you are done.
SPEAKER 2: What Firebase product allows the user
to search content from [INAUDIBLE]?
ABE HASKINS: Ah-ah-ah.
Oh, you're so close.
SPEAKER 2: Right, right, right, right, right!
ABE HASKINS: Oh!
Oh.
There you go.
That is the end of your voyage, coming in at 1,154.
That is an OK score.
That is supremely OK.
Good job, everyone.
Thanks for playing.
[LAUGHS]
TIMOTHY JORDAN: All right, Abe.
Thanks so much for that.
ABE HASKINS: Absolutely.
Any time.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: So we're actually
going to play another round.
So, uh, bye.
