Abstract: The present disclosure relates to games and applications in general and in particular to computer-implemented online games, such as online role-playing games, playable by more than one person from more than one location. The game engine can dynamically determine the type of in-game asset to award to a first player and the types of in-game obstacles to present to the first player by referencing the in-game assets available to other players in the first player's social network and by referencing other game state variables.

Abstract: Example systems and methods relating to dynamic requirement variation for asset acquisition in an online game are presented. In an example online game for multiple players, a plurality of parameters employed to identify players who qualify for a reward provided by the online game are accessed continually. A current acquisition requirement for the reward based on the plurality of parameters is updated continually. The reward is provided to at least one of the players responsive to satisfaction of the current acquisition requirement by the at least one of the players.

Abstract: Example systems and methods related to player recruitment for acquiring rewards in an online game network is presented. In an example, an online game for a plurality of players is hosted. A player of the game is provided an asset based satisfaction of an acquisition requirement that includes a social requirement satisfied by a new association of a predetermined number of people with the online game.

Abstract: Example systems and methods related to a social requirement for acquiring an asset, such as a reward, in an online game are presented herein. In one example, an online game for a plurality of players is hosted. Information describing a social network of friends of a player of the game is accessed. An asset is provided to the player based satisfaction of an acquisition requirement to acquire the asset. The acquisition requirement includes a social requirement that is satisfied by a new association of a predetermined number of friends of the social network of the player with the online game.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically re-positioning one or more nodes in a block diagram of a graphical program in response to a new node being displayed in the block diagram are described. A new node may be displayed at a first position in the block diagram in response to user input. One or more of the plurality of nodes already in the block diagram may be automatically re-positioned in response to displaying the new node at the first position. In other embodiments, a particular node in the block diagram may be moved from a first position to a second position in response to user input, and one or more of the other nodes may be automatically re-positioned in response to the user moving the node.

Abstract: Example systems and methods related to dynamic generation of in-game assets and in-game obstacles of an online game are presented. In an example, information describing a social network of a first player of an online game is accessed, the information identifying other players of the online game. Game account information of the other players is then accessed. The game account information of the other players identifies in-game assets of the other players. At least one of an in-game asset for the first player and an in-game obstacle to affect the first player in the online game is generated based on a mathematical function that considers the in-game assets of the other player.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for operating a multiuser online game with viral dynamic rewards.

Abstract: Example systems and methods related to a social requirement for acquiring an asset, such as a reward, in an online game are presented herein. In one example, an online game for a plurality of players is hosted. Information describing a social network of friends of a player of the game is accessed. An asset is provided to the player based satisfaction of an acquisition requirement to acquire the asset. The acquisition requirement includes a social requirement that is satisfied by a new association of a predetermined number of friends of the social network of the player with the online game.

Abstract: Example systems and methods related to the acquisition of awards in a multiplayer online game based on a social requirement are presented. In an example, a player is provided with a first-level reward based on satisfaction of first acquisition requirement including at least one of an in-game asset requirement and a game state requirement. Also provided to the player is a second-level reward based on satisfaction of a second acquisition requirement including a social requirement that is satisfied by anew association between another person and the online game.

A new node may be displayed at a first position in the block diagram in response to user input. One or more of the plurality of nodes already in the block diagram may be automatically re-positioned in response to displaying the new node at the first position. In other embodiments, a particular node in the block diagram may be moved from a first position to a second position in response to user input, and one or more of the other nodes may be automatically re-positioned in response to the user moving the node.

Abstract: System and method for static memory allocation (SMA) in a graphical programming system. A graphical program (GP) may be created in response to user input, comprising nodes interconnected by wires for inter-node communication, which visually indicates functionality of the program, and includes a plurality of data elements. The GP is programmatically analyzed to determine: memory requirements for each of the data elements, and one or more subsets of the data elements that can share a memory block, e.g., by traversing the GP to determine one or more static paths, each comprising a path of wire along which a single statically allocated memory block can be used. One or more SMAs are programmatically included in the GP in response, executable to statically allocate a shared memory block for each subset. The GP may be executed, including executing the SMAs to statically allocate the shared memory blocks for each of the subsets.
