  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CREATING A PLAYABLE VIDEO GAME FROM A THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODEL
    Publication number: 20200316475
    Abstract: Systems and methods for creating a playable video game, or playable video game levels, from a three-dimensional model comprising a plurality of various-colored blocks disposed on a grid. A set of software modules processes a digital image of the static model to translate its component elements into video game elements in a level file, which may then be played using a game driver.

  • Smart video game board system and methods
    Patent number: 10363486
    Abstract: Systems and methods for creating a playable video game from user-generated artwork. The systems and methods include a smart game board system having a plurality of recesses arranged in a grid and configured to accept an RFID tag embedded in a block. As the user places blocks in the recesses, an antenna system detects which recesses contain blocks, and the color or another identifier of the block. This information is transmitted to a computer system for translation into playable video game data, such as level data or a skin or image.
