Abstract: Methods and systems for tracking a game asset used in a video game includes receiving game inputs provided by a player during gameplay of the video game. The game inputs are analyzed to determine when the game inputs result in the occurrence of a significant event in the video game. A digital asset is awarded to the player providing the game inputs for the significant event. A non-fungible token is generated for the digital asset earned by the player and a value indicative of intrinsic value of the significant event is computed and associated with the digital asset. The non-fungible token is used to monitor use of the digital asset.

Abstract: A computer game program obtains data input by a player. Puzzle display information is output to cause number of puzzle elements forming part of a puzzle to be displayed in a game field so that at least one puzzle element among the number of puzzle elements is selectable. Outputting object display information causes an object to be displayed on a screen on which the number of puzzle elements are displayed. Puzzle attribute information and/or puzzle arrangement information associated with the selected puzzle element may be updated and a determination is made as to whether or not the updated puzzle attribute information and/or the puzzle arrangement information satisfies a predetermined condition. An object displayed on or around the puzzle element associated with the puzzle attribute information and/or the puzzle arrangement information may be moved to produce a predetermined effect in a game when the predetermined condition is satisfied.

A processor device iteratively performs a processing workload that comprises a mandatory processing task and a preferred processing task. The mandatory processing task includes accessing a plurality of input messages that have not yet been processed, and the preferred processing task has a target timeframe within which to be performed. For each iteration, a maximum preferred processing task amount of time to perform the preferred processing task is determined based on a moving average of mandatory processing task times of previous iterations and based on the target timeframe. The preferred processing task is performed for a period of time no greater than the maximum preferred processing task amount of time.

Abstract: A dynamic asset spawning engine is provided in a data processing system for dynamically spawning assets in a video game based on one or more news feeds. The dynamic asset spawning engine semantically tags a library of video game assets with game tag descriptors. The dynamic asset spawning engine parses and processes the one or more news feeds to identify supplemental tag descriptors and spawning parameters for one or more video game assets in the library of video game assets. The dynamic spawning engine assigns the identified supplemental tag descriptors and spawning parameters to the one or more video game assets. The video game spawns the one or more game assets in the video game in accordance with the supplemental tag descriptors and spawning parameters.

Abstract: A detection system including a control device detecting fraud performed in a game table by using a result of an image analysis performed by an image analyzing device is included. A substitute currency for gaming used for this detection system has a multi-layer structure in which a plurality of plastic layers having different colors are stacked, a coloring layer is included at least in the middle, and white layers or thin-color layers (may be layers having a color thinner than that of the coloring layer; not illustrated in the drawing) are stacked on both sides of the coloring layer disposed in the middle.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium including a video game processing program for causing a server to perform functions to control a character in progress of a video game is provided. The functions includes: a utilization permitting function configured to permit utilization of object property information for controlling the character, a property of an object being expressed in the object property information, the property of the object being stored in a specific storage region associated with the object as a first storage region; and an information utilizing function configured to utilize the object property information, whose utilization is permitted, for controlling the character.

Abstract: A method for emulating a disc swap operation during a play of a legacy game is described. The method includes receiving a user input during the play of the legacy game, determining that the disc swap operation is to be executed based on the user input, and identifying one or more emulated processing unit (PU) code instructions that are included within the disc swap operation during the play of the legacy game. The method further includes compiling, during the play of the legacy game, one or more basic blocks from the one or more emulated PU code instructions, and emulating the disc swap operation. The operation of emulating the disc swap operation includes executing a swap patch emulator.

Abstract: A game server receives data associated with gameplay of one or more user accounts, the one or more user accounts being used for playing a designated game. The game server computes, for the one or more user accounts, a player model representing previous in-game behavior of the one or more user accounts. The game server identifies, based on the player model, configuration values for the designated game. The configuration values represent data to specify operation of the designated game. The configuration values represent at least one of a game mechanics configuration and a game parameter configuration. The game server causes transmission of the configuration values to a client device. The configuration values cause the client device to adjust a game engine at the client device based on the previous in-game behavior of the one or more user accounts.
