Abstract: A trained machine learning model(s) is used to determine scores indicative of probabilities that certain types of user input will be provided to a player's game controller while playing a video game in order to compensate for latency between player action and player perception of video game content relating to the player action. In an example process, sensor data received from a client machine and/or game state data received from a video game is provided as input to a trained machine learning model(s), and a score as output therefrom, the score relating to a probability that a type of user input will be provided to a player's game controller. In this manner, game control data corresponding to the type of user input can be generated based on the score and provided to the video game as input before actual game control data is even received, thereby compensating for latency.

Abstract: In various embodiments, promotions are featured on mobile gaming devices.

Abstract: A client device associated with a player of a location-based game detects client devices associated with other players which are within proximity of the player device. This detection of other player client devices may result in various game actions occurring, such as an exchange of game elements between players, game progress for a player, access to a game feature, or establishing a connection between players. Detection of player devices may be performed using personal area network devices of the client devices, such as Bluetooth. Proximity detection can occur when player client devices are disconnected from an online system hosting the location-based game with the detection later being reported to the online system by one or both devices.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for reducing operational complexity of mobile gaming. A scene switching instruction is received via an application interface. The application interface displays a first scene including a to-be-teleported operation object. The first scene displayed on the application interface is switched to a second scene according to the scene switching instruction. The second scene includes a target teleportation location object. A touch operation on the target teleportation location object in the second scene is received. In response to receiving the touch operation, a process of updating a coordinate of the to-be-teleported operation object to a coordinate of the target teleportation location object in the second scene is performed.

Abstract: A computer device comprising a user interface and a processor. A first tier of a whole rewardable object is rendered, each tier of the rewardable object comprising a set of visual objects, each visual object representing a respective game level having an associated game objective. Each visual object is associated with an object status selected from a completed status and a playable status. A completed status is assigned to the visual object when either the user has attained the associated game objective of the game level, or an indication has been received that the associated game objective of the game level has been attained at a remote user device. When all visual objects of the first tier have been assigned a completion status, it is determined that at least one virtual object of the whole rewardable object is not associated with a completed status and a second tier is rendered.

Abstract: Direction input data and inertial sensor data are acquired from a controller including a direction input section and an inertial sensor. Movement of a player character is controlled on the basis of the direction input data. In addition, a control mode for a position of a cursor is switchable between a first control mode and a second control mode. When the control mode is the first control mode, a position further shifted, based on the inertial sensor data, from a position calculated based on a position and a direction of the player character is set as the position of the cursor. When the control mode is the second control mode, a position shifted, based on the inertial sensor data, within a predetermined range, in a virtual space, including a predetermined position in the virtual space, from the predetermined position is set as the position of the cursor.

Abstract: Many times, users play games to certain places in the game and decide to save the game and resume it later. When users resume the game, they have to wait for it to load, wade through menus to select the saved game, and wait again for the game to resume. The introduced technique directly suspends and resume games that are rendered on a cloud server based on user initiated suspend and resume control commands. As the games are directly suspended and resumed, the users can skip past menu and screen loading. The introduced technique can track game information of multiples users in cloud tokens, and can move these cloud tokens from one memory location to another based on the user initiated suspend and resume control commands.

Abstract: An information processing method and apparatus in a Virtual Reality (VR) game, and a processor are provided. The method includes that: a first move operation of a VR controller in a real environment is acquired; a move of a virtual object in a VR game scene is controlled according to the first move operation, and a calculation factor is calculated according to the first move operation; and when the move of the virtual object in the VR game scene satisfies a preset attack damage trigger condition, damage to an attack target in the VR game scene is calculated according to the calculation factor. The present disclosure solves technical problems in the related art that an operation mode of swinging a weapon to launch an attack in a VR game scene is easy to cause fatigue of a game player and a calculation mode of damage lacks accuracy.

Abstract: Multiplayer video games involve multiple players playing using either a single computer system or multiple computer systems connected together. While a first player of the multiplayer game is playing the multiplayer game, the first player's actions are tracked and stored. When the first player quits or stops responding before the multiplayer game has completed, the first player is replaced by a computer-simulated version of the first player that selects its actions based on probabilities calculated from the tracked actions of the first player. The multiplayer game is thus able to continue without interruption or disruption, and the first player's playstyle is preserved.
