Abstract: In example embodiments, a method of limiting access to a gaming system is disclosed. Encoded content is embedded into an image presented by an application executing on a client device. The image is captured into an image buffer. The encoded content is retrieved from the image. A login request is sent to the gaming system. The login request includes the encoded content. A login response is received from the gaming system. The login response includes a success status. The success status is based on a verification of the encoded content. A notification of the success status is presented in a user interface on the client device.

Abstract: In example embodiments, a method of rating skill levels of players of a game executing on a game networking system is disclosed. An event within a game is identified as corresponding to a combination of head-to-head mini games between a subset of a plurality of players of the game. For each of the combinations of head-to-head mini games, a result of the mini game is determined and a first rating and a second rating are updated, the first rating corresponding to a first player and the second rating corresponding to the second player. An aspect of the game networking system is adapted based on the updating of the first rating and the second rating.

Abstract: A method of injecting a feature into an application is disclosed. A definition of the feature of the application is received. It is determined that the feature is an injection feature of a view of the application. It is detected that an instance of the view of the application is being instantiated. The feature is injected into the view of the application based on the determining that the feature is the injection feature of the view of the application and the detecting that the instance of the view of the application is being instantiated.
