An input interface system for a game wherein the game progresses in the virtual world based on points that are applied corresponding to the distance of travel of a user in the real world, and event processes that are generated accompanying travel of the user are carried out sequentially, comprising: inputting means for receiving an input of a user operation in respect to a virtual object that appears in an event process, and event execution processing means for progressing the game by defining that an event process has been performed when a user operation is inputted correctly into the inputting means, wherein: the user operation is a path inputting operation wherein a path is drawn on a touch screen, and the event execution processing means perform an event process based on the shape of the path that was drawn in the path inputting operation and on the relative positioning with a virtual object

A method predefines activity zones in an extended reality (XR) space by: accessing a previously generated spatial mapping mesh (SMM); compiling a record of all exposed surfaces of the physical elements in the XR space, with positions, dimensions, and categories; for each recorded surface, performing a collision analysis at representative positions around its perimeter to determine an available adjacent open space; filter determined open spaces according to one or more predetermined criteria to determine one or more activity zones at corresponding locations; and assigning each activity zone to an activity category based in part on the categorization of the available adjacent surface or surfaces. The method is carried out in advance of user interaction with any virtual element in the XR space.

Methods, apparatuses, devices and storage media for processing game states are provided in the disclosure, the method comprising: in response to a first state switching instruction, switching a game from an idle state to a first state; acquiring first operation information of one or more operations performed on a first marker by a first object participating in the game in the first state; in response to detecting a second marker in a preset area, switching the game to a second state; acquiring second operation information of one or more operations performed on the second marker by a second object participating in the game in the second state; in response to that a game result is generated based on the second operation information, switching the game to a result processing state; performing result processing on the first operation information according to the game result.

A game management system generates a multidimensional parametric player model representative of player behavior by one or more players in a computer game. The parametric player model populated is used in the identification of groups or clusters of players, and/or in at least partly automated configuration of custom game content for behavior consistent with the parametric player model. A single parametric player model is defines a single set of parametric values corresponding to multiple predefined gameplay parameters, and can be used to model the behavior of a single respective player or to model the behavior of multiple players (e.g., based on cumulative historical gameplay data for the relevant players), providing a representative player model for those players. The player model is ingested by a content generator configured to generate game content customized to the behavior represented by the player model.

A client device receives compiled software for a game engine. The game engine is for playing a designated game. The client device receives a game definition file for the designated game. The game definition file stores rules for the designated game. The game definition file defines the rules using non-compiled machine-readable code. The client device executes the game engine at the client device to enable playing of the designated game via the client device. Executing the game engine includes: accessing the game definition file; and providing, via a user interface generated on the client device, interactive gameplay of the designated game according to the rules for the designated game defined by the game definition file.

Methods and apparatus are disclosed for video transmission. According to one example, computer-readable storage media storing computer-readable instructions, which when executed by a computer having at least one processor, cause the computer to: change, during or after execution of a computer-implemented game, at least one current parameter of an avatar of a first distributor on the basis of second data or display in a second video, during or after execution of the computer-implemented game, an avatar of the first distributor and an avatar of at least any user of one or more users on the basis of the second data, wherein first data is data regarding at least any of the following: one or more users who jointly distributed a computer-implemented game with the first distributor, and one or more users who jointly distributed with the first distributor using an avatar of the first distributor and his/her own avatar.

In various examples, natural language processing may be performed on text generated by a game to extract one or more in-game events from the game. The system (e.g., a client device and/or server) may receive the text in the form of one or more strings generated by a game application. The system may then extract one or more in-game events from the text using natural language processing. The game may include the text in a message it sends to the system (e.g., using an Application Programming Interface (API)) and/or in a game log entry or notification. The text may be generated based at least on the game determining one or more conditions are satisfied in the gameplay (e.g., victory, points scored, milestones, eliminations, item acquisition, etc.). The text may be mapped to event templates, which may then be used to extract parameters of events therefrom.
