Abstract: Systems and methods for a unitary physics engine and image smoothing is provided. In this method, a game and a plug-in physics engine are initialized on multiple gaming systems. Time advancement messages are received by a controller within the physics engine from a reflector, causing the physics engine to compute events in a queue up to the time of the timing message, according to the same set of physics rules. This causes a deterministic computation of all object positions within the game that is identical across all gaming systems. In between the deterministic calculations, the local gaming system may compute speculative object positions, based upon the last deterministic position and the accelerations, velocities and object attributes at that moment. These speculative calculations may be performed at least as often as the frame rate of the display (typically 30, 60 or 120 frames per second).
