Abstract: Methods and systems for awarding experience points to players of video games are disclosed. A video game such as a vehicle-based combat game may award experience of different classes, which allows control over the pace at which certain players advance through the game. Users may be awarded multiple classes of experience points, where a first class of experience may be restricted for use only in unlocking objects in a tech tree of the vehicle in which the first class of experience was earned vehicle, whereas a second class of experience may used to unlock any vehicle or module, not limited by tech tree. In some aspects, experience and/or vehicles/modules may be exported between video games.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing user control of objects or vehicles simulated in a simulated environment or virtual world are described herein. The user control may include various types of touch controls that may be used by a player to move the object or vehicle in a direction and/or at a velocity. The user, in some embodiments, may be able to select which type of touch control is used in the user interface. In some arrangements, the touch control may include a touch zone arrangement that can be changed based on a condition of the virtual world or a player interaction with a user interface. Additionally, in some embodiments, the user control may include one or more controls for removing one or more statuses that may be received by the vehicle.

Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for dynamically determining and applying a zoom amount when entering a sniper mode are presented. In one or more embodiments, a computing device may provide a user interface that includes a controlled vehicle and a target vehicle. Subsequently, the computing device may receive a request to enter a sniper mode. In response to receiving the request to enter the sniper mode, the computing device may determine a zoom amount based on a size of the target vehicle and a distance from the controlled vehicle to the target vehicle. The computing device then may update the user interface based on the zoom amount to enter the sniper mode.
