  • Publication number: 20150099588
    Abstract: A device, machine-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a computer-implemented method of distributing game network features is provided. A game request to access one or more features associated with a game networking system are received by a mobile game application operating on a client device and associated with a mobile game developed by a game developer. The one or more features are integrated into the mobile game application using a software development kit (SDK) provided from the game networking system to the game developer. Information relating to the one or more features are accessed by the mobile game application in response to the game request, where the information is accessed from the game networking system using at least a portion of the SDK. The mobile game application provides the one or more features with the information using the at least a portion of the SDK.
