Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for updating a game application during runtime of a game application. The game application is executed on a client computing device using application code that includes a function store. During runtime of the game application, a function asset is received and stored in the function store. The function asset includes either precompiled code or code written in a scripting language and includes a version identifier. To execute a particular game function of the game application, the function asset is identified from other function assets in the function store based at least in part on its version identifier, and the game function is executed using the function asset.

Abstract: A visual-programming tool processes nodes of a graph corresponding to operations or functions in program code associated with a plurality of programs, (e.g., games), stored as graph of nodes with logical connections signifying inputs, outputs, and/or units of connected nodes. The visual-programming tool resolves valid types and/or units associated with respective connected nodes and can propagate valid types and/or units throughout the graph.

Abstract: A visual-programming tool provides an encapsulation mechanism configured to operate as a discrete section of a graph corresponding to a program in a visual-programming language. The encapsulation mechanism is configured to bind control flow of the visual-programming language to the encapsulation mechanism, determine logic associated with an encapsulated section of the graph, determine input and/or output associated with the encapsulated section, and present a visual representation of the encapsulation mechanism encompassing a visual representation of the input and/or output and logic in a graphical-user interface associated with the visual-programming tool. In some examples, the visual-programming tool can automatically position nodes associated with the encapsulation mechanism in the graphical-user interface.
