Step
In short

- Read the prompt look at it carefully before you start drawing so you know exactly what the AI will judge.
- Paint your pancake finish your artwork before the timer runs out.
- Wait for the AI score the AI grades your drawing automatically based on how well it matches the prompt.
- Collect your money the higher your score, the more you earn from that match.
