    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented methods and systems include generating an adaptive control layout in connection with a video game and for a second screen device while the video game is being played via a physically separate first screen device. For example, the disclosed methods and systems can determine that a trigger event has occurred relative to the video game based on control inputs from video game controls displayed on the second screen device. The disclosed systems and methods can generate a new control layout that is tailored to the trigger event. The disclosed systems and methods can automatically replace the first control layout with the second control layout on the second screen device without interrupting video game play. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

    Abstract: One embodiment includes acceleration systems that operate as intermediaries between the API processing system and the clients to reduce API call roundtrip latencies. The acceleration systems are a network of interconnected systems that are distributed across the globe. A given acceleration system establishes a network connection with a given client and receives a request for processing an API call over the connection. The programming function associated with the API call is configured in the API processing system. The acceleration system facilitates the processing of the API call over an established connection with the API processing system.

    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented methods and systems can increase the speed and accuracy with which video games are played over the Internet. For example, the disclosed methods and systems can capture atomic input state information from a video game controller reflecting any buttons, joysticks, or other control elements that are currently selected. The disclosed methods and system can transmit an input state a first time, and then retransmit the input state in groups of future input states. As such, the methods and systems can keep the video game in a consistent input state, even if one or more input state transmissions are dropped. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented methods and systems include generating and implementing video game control compositions like puzzle pieces that can be encoded into a video game once while providing functionality, positioning, and scalability in connection with multiple video game control elements. For example, the disclosed methods and system can cause video game control elements from a video game control composition to be rendered on the second screen device according to positioning instructions associated with an area defined by the composition and scaling instructions that are specific to characteristics of the second screen device. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
