摘要： A multi-player game environment is created for single-player use. A user may select a single-player game or a multi-player game. When the user chooses a multi-player game, the user is prompted to select one or more customized AI characters. The AI characters may be available individually or in themed “packs.” The selected AI character or pack may be downloaded, stored, or otherwise made accessible to an electronic entertainment system. The user may select a mode or skill level for each AI character. The user may begin playing the game in a multi-player mode with the game environment populated with an avatar effectuating behaviors of the selected AI character or characters.

摘要： A method and system for watching video and playing games in a mobile communication device are described in which video content is received from a network television channel and, based on the orientation of the mobile communication device and the device type, the video content and/or a game may be displayed. When in a portrait orientation, the operating mode may be such that the video content and/or the game may be displayed. For a tablet device in a portrait orientation, for example, both the video content and the game may be displayed. When the mobile communication device is changed to a landscape orientation, the operating mode may be different and only one of the video content and the game may be displayed based on whether the mobile communication device was rotated clockwise or counter-clockwise. A rewards program may combine the video-watching and game-playing activities of the user.

摘要： A method for interfacing with an interactive program is provided. Images of an interface object and a motion controller disposed in a gameplay environment are captured, a tag defined on a surface of the interface object. The captured images are analyzed to identify the tag on the surface of the interface object. Movement of the interface object is tracked by tracking the tag. Augmented images are generated by replacing, in the captured images, the tag with a virtual object, wherein generating the augmented images includes processing the tracked movement of the interface object to define movement of the virtual object. The captured images are analyzed to identify a pointing direction of the motion controller in the gameplay environment. The pointing direction of the motion controller is processed to identify a selection of a portion of the virtual object. The augmented images are presented on a display.

摘要： A drill unit 111 expands a dungeon based on a parameter in two directions from the starting point X and selects a start S and a goal G from each area expanded in two directions. Thus, it is possible to generate a path from the start S to the goal G passing through the starting point X. Moreover, it is possible to determine a board form of the whole dungeon by determining expanding directions with the parameter.

摘要： The gaming system disclosed herein changes the focal point of a display device at different points in time to assist the player in focusing on different simultaneously or concurrently played games at different points in time. Specifically, the gaming system displays a plurality of simultaneously or concurrently played games on a display device. In response to a designated event occurring in association with a specific one of the plurality of simultaneously or concurrently played games, the gaming system changes the focal point of the display device to draw the player's focus or attention to that specific one of the simultaneously or concurrently played games. Put differently, the gaming system dynamically allocates and/or indicates different portions of a display device to different simultaneously or concurrently played games at different points in time to account for different events occurring in such simultaneously or concurrently played games.

摘要： A wagering game system and its operations include, for example, presenting, via an autostereoscopic three-dimensional display of the wagering game system, wagering game content with an autostereoscopic three-dimensional depth effect. The wagering game content is associated with an electronic wagering game. The operations can further include detecting, via a sensor of the wagering game system, a change in a position of a slider control associated with the wagering game system. The operations can further include changing, via at least one of one or more electronic processing units of the wagering game system, a degree of the autostereoscopic three-dimensional depth effect for at least a portion of the wagering game content according to a degree of the change in the position of the slider control.

摘要： Some embodiments of the inventive subject matter are directed to presenting wagering game content in stereoscopic 3D according to an optimal autostereoscopic view for an autostereoscopic display based on a viewing perspective of a player when the player views the wagering game content. Some embodiments are also directed to determining that the player looks away from the wagering game content and maintaining, or freezing, presentation of wagering game content in 3D according to the optimal autostereoscopic view. Some embodiments are directed to updating the optimal autostereoscopic view based on changes to the viewing perspective while the player looks away from the wagering game content. Some embodiment are also directed to changing the presentation of the wagering game content to 2D, and restoring the one or more portions to 3D based on a degree of player attentiveness after the player looks at the wagering game content again.

摘要： Technologies are generally described for a general mood adding scheme in a cloud-based game system. In some examples, a method performed under control of a computing device may include receiving from a raw database at least one set of facial expression data, each of the at least one set of facial expression data being accompanied by time information and location information, clustering a geographic area to form at least one cluster based at least in part on the at least one set of facial expression data, and storing the at least one cluster in a map database corresponding to the area.
