SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR OPERATING A BRIDGE SERVER TO SUPPORT MULTIPLE SHARDS OF A BLOCKCHAIN
Systems and methods for operating a bridge server to support multiple shards of blockchains are disclosed. The multiple shards may be used to record ownership rights of in-game digital assets. The in-game digital assets may be usable in an online gaming platform. Exemplary implementations may: execute an instance of a game; maintain user accounts for the users of a blockchain on a first and a second decentralized ledger server; record sets of rights pertaining to sets of digital assets; receive an exchange request for a first digital asset; receive transferal information for the first digital asset; transfer sets of instructions to the first and second decentralized ledger servers such that the first decentralized ledger server removes the first digital asset from the first set of digital assets and the second decentralized ledger server adds the first digital asset to the second set of digital assets.
Game device having improved slide-operation-driven user interface
Provided are a program, a control method, and an information processing apparatus which may provide an improved user interface on which a user may easily and efficiently execute various processes on a game content. The information processing apparatus may be caused to execute a game content specifying step of specifying a selected game content on the basis of first input operation data from an operation unit, a step of retrieving information from a storage unit, a step of specifying a direction from a start point to an end point of a second input operation on the basis of second input operation data from an operation unit, and an execution step of executing one process associated with the direction from the start point to the end point of the second input operation in the information from the storage unit on the selected game content.
Computer-readable recording medium and game system
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having a game program is provided. The game program is to be executed by a server device in a game system. The game system includes user terminals operated by respective users. The server device is capable of being connected to the user terminals through communication. The program causes the server device to set one or more kinds of game media to be in a state of being capable of being given to users. A predetermined upper limit is set to a number of game media capable of being given to the users. The program further causes the server device to give a user a game medium that the user desires to be given among the game media which are set by the server device in a range not exceeding the predetermined upper limit.
Method and system for intelligent importing and transformation of digital assets
A method of intelligently transforming a digital asset for a target environment is disclosed. Asset data describing the digital asset is received. The received asset data is analyzed to determine a classification type for the digital asset. A database is communicated with to request additional data associated with the determined classification type. The additional data includes semantic data associated with the classification type. The additional data is compared to the received asset data. The comparing includes determining missing data and conflicting data. The missing data includes data from the additional data which is absent from the asset data. The missing data is added to the asset data.
FANTASY GAME SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PLAYER SELECTION AND SCORING
A first list of available players is provided to each individual user who then selects a first fantasy lineup, where selections by another individual user does not preclude other individual users from also selecting the same player. First fantasy lineups are received from each individual user, the fantasy lineups comprising one or more players selected from the first list of available players. Each individual user may provide a replacement lineup prior to the end of a game. A subsequent list of available players is provided to each user and does not include players from the first fantasy lineup. Subsequent fantasy lineups from each individual user are received comprising only players selected from the subsequent list of available players. None of the players of the first fantasy lineup for an individual user is included in any subsequent fantasy lineup of the individual user.
GPS related video game
A real world location information related video game. The video game utilizes real world location information derived from a player's mobile device to associate attributes and entities to game players. The associated attributes and entities may be useful in further game play on a player's mobile device or PC.
Game control method, game server, and program
A game control method, game server, and program can increase variations on methods for acquiring items, increase the predictability of acquisition of an item with a high rarity value or the like, and heighten interest in the game. Included are the steps of presenting a communication terminal, connected over a communication line, with acquirable item information that, for each item type, includes a total count and an acquisition count or a non-acquisition count of items when receiving, from the communication terminal, a request to present information related to items acquirable by the communication terminal, determining an item to provide to the communication terminal when receiving an item acquisition request from the communication terminal, and changing the acquirable item information when receiving a reset request from the communication terminal.
COMPUTER SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MORE EFFICIENTLY STORING, ISSUING, AND TRANSACTING TOKENIZED BLOCKCHAIN GAME ASSETS MANAGED BY A SMART CONTRACT
A computer system and method is disclosed including a vault application to facilitate the transacting of game assets represented by tokens managed by a smart contract via a hybrid approach that permits certain transactions of game assets to be conducted using an in-game centralized database approach (which does not necessarily include a decentralized network) and other transactions to be managed on a decentralized network, via a blockchain or other distributed ledger technology (DLT) network.
Systems and methods to enable administrators to incentivize in-game user behaviors and in-game user activities via group agreements that govern user groups within an online game
Systems and methods to enable administrators to incentivize one or both of particular in-game user behaviors and particular in-game user activities via group agreements that govern user groups within an online game are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: effectuate presentation of an administrative agreement interface that enables administrators to: define a formation proposal of a new group agreement to be formed, formation incentives thereof, and prospective users for the new group agreements, and define an activity proposal of proposed activities for a user group and activity incentives thereof; receive an indication of acceptance to form the new group agreement, generate instructions to form the new group agreement as a smart contract and transmit such to a decentralized ledger server for recordation; provide the formation incentives to the prospective users subsequent to the generation; receive indication of execution of the activities and responsively provide the activity incentives to the user group.
Systems and methods for automatic administration based on ledger-specific populations of unique digital articles
Systems and methods to automatic administration based on ledger-specific populations of unique digital articles in an online gaming platform are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may manage user accounts associated with users of an instance of a game, including a first user account having a first account inventory that includes a first unique digital article; determine a size of a set or population of unique digital articles that include the first unique digital article; determine a fraction of the set or population of unique digital articles recorded on a private decentralized ledger; determine eligibility for the first unique digital article and/or the first user to receive one or more rewards; adjust the one or more rewards based on the determined fraction; provide the adjusted rewards.
