Abstract: A video game includes a single player mode where completion of storyline objectives advances the single player storyline. The video game also includes a multiplayer mode where a plurality of players can play on an instance of a multiplayer map. Storyline objectives from the single player mode are selected and made available for completion to players in the multiplayer mode, and the single player storylines can be advanced by players completing respective storyline objectives while playing in the multiplayer mode. Combinations of storyline objectives are selected from pending storyline objectives for players connecting to a multiplayer game for compatibility with multiplayer maps. Constraints can be used to determine compatibility.

Abstract: A sensor system includes: a sensor insert sub-assembly including a sensor holder, a biasing magnet connected to the sensor holder, and a first sensor connected to the sensor holder, wherein a first end of the sensor housing insert sub-assembly is configured to face a target; and a pressure barrier connected to the sensor insert sub-assembly. A portion of the pressure barrier extends between the first end of the sensor housing insert sub-assembly and the target. There is a gap between the portion of the pressure barrier and the first end of the sensor insert sub-assembly. The first sensor includes a magneto-resistive sensor that is configured to detect a displacement of the target relative to the sensor housing insert sub-assembly.

Abstract: A plant growing assembly configured to grow a plurality of plants in multiple directions above a ground surface. The assembly includes a growing container and a support structure for elevating the container above the ground surface. The container presents a generally hollow body to retain a plant-growing medium and the plurality of plants. The body extends along an axis to present opposite axial end margins and a radial peripheral wall. The wall defines a plurality of discrete plant-receiving ports extending therethrough, and disposed generally radially about the wall. A method of growing plants above ground in substantially opposite directions from one another is also disclosed.
