Abstract: A spectator system may provide for spectating in online gaming. The spectator system may receive, at a spectator server, game state data from a game simulation server hosting an online game for one or more players, generate one or more spectator game state data corresponding to one or more spectator devices and output the one or more spectator game state data to the spectator devices. The spectator server may further output the game state data to another spectator server.

Abstract: A change tracking and analytics system and method receives software code blocks from one or more repositories of software related to a software project, such as a new video game. Changes associated with software code blocks, such as relative to previous versions of the software code blocks, may be determined and logged. Additionally, various analytics, such as metrics associated with complexity, divergence from a master version of software code blocks, and/or any cascading effects of the software code blocks may be generated and stored in association with the software code blocks. The change information and analytics may then be used to generate any variety of reports indicating complexity, divergence, or the like over time, information related to software code blocks, and/or information related to behavior of software teams. The change information may also be used to make changes to allocated resources, such as quality assurance resources and/or software engineering resources.

Abstract: Techniques are described that can that can modify content in a video game application executing on a game platform. The technique includes communicatively coupling with the game platform to exchange messages with the game platform. A tool may receive data representative of a version of a screen rendered by the game platform. The tool may then render its own version of the screen and modify the content data that comprises the screen image. The tool may then send a content modification message to the game platform, the message including data representative of the modifications made by the tool. The game platform may then modify and render a new version of the screen in the game platform based on the modification message.
