摘要： A method for automatically connecting game items for sharing by a plurality of game systems is disclosed. A first game system is added to a computer-implemented game. The first game system is associated with a first game system definition. The first game system definition corresponding to a first game object. The first game system is automatically connected to a second game system. The automatic connecting includes, at least: identifying a correspondence between the first game system definition and a second game system definition, the second game system definition being associated with the second game system, the second game system definition corresponding to a second game object; and preventing a change to the first game object during runtime of the computer-implemented game based on a detection that the change to the first game object would violate a rule associated with the second game system definition.

摘要： A game apparatus is provided which has a convenience where another function, such as photo taken by a camera, can be used while playing a game by causing a game program and another program to work together. The game apparatus increases interest of the game by relating a result of execution of the other program to the contents of the game. For example, when a camera icon displayed on a display is selected by an operation of a touch panel, a program for controlling a camera function launches, and an image can be captured at an arbitrary timing. The captured image is converted according to a predetermined condition. The converted image is displayed on a display screen and image data is stored in a flash memory.

摘要： A system and method for entering text within a video game application are described. For example, a system according to one embodiment of the invention comprises: a video game hosting service to execute a video game in response to user input; a client device to communicate with the video game hosting service over a first communication channel, wherein the client device has a first user input device communicatively coupled thereto, and wherein control signals for the video game are generated in response to input from the first user input device and transmitted from the client device to the video game hosting service over the first communication channel, the video game hosting service controlling a video game in response to receipt of the control signals; a display device communicatively coupled to the client device, the display device to display video of the video game; wherein the video game hosting service further includes program code to open a second communication channel to receive text input, the second communication channel being separate and independent from the first communication channel and usable by a data processing device capable of generating text input, wherein in response to receipt of text input over the second communication channel, the video game hosting service causes the text input to be displayed on the display device communicatively coupled to the client device.

摘要： Provided herein are systems and methods for dynamically capturing the graphics engine function calls and other virtual reality object data as it is created during a virtual reality session by a client virtual reality device and creating a modified virtual reality session data stream based on the captured virtual reality session for rendering a virtual reality replay session of the captured virtual reality session by the same or another client virtual reality device (or by multiple client replay devices either independently and/or in a synchronized, interactive replay), where the modified virtual reality session data stream allows the virtual reality replay session to mimic the virtual reality scenes and environment created during the captured virtual reality session, while permitting a “third person” spectator perspective to be selected, and dynamically re-selected, during the course of the virtual reality replay session.

摘要： A game apparatus is provided which has a convenience where another function such as photo taking by a camera can be used while playing a game by causing a game program and another application program to work together and which increases interest of the game by relating a result of execution of the application program to the contents of the game. When a camera icon displayed on a display section is selected by an operation of a touch panel, an application for controlling a camera function launches, and an image can be captured at an arbitrary timing. The captured image is converted according to a predetermined condition. The converted image is displayed on a display screen and image data is stored in a flash memory.
