A scoreboard is generated that shows the tiers, rankings of a respective one of the players, and the social networking contacts who were identified.
Abstract:
Disclosed are various embodiments for reducing input processing latency for remotely executed applications. An application is executed in a hosted environment, and a video signal generated by the application is encoded into a media stream. The media stream is sent to a client by way of a network. User input data for the application is obtained from the client computing device by way of the network. The user input data is processed server side, rather than client side, at a latency-compensating processing rate.
Abstract:
Disclosed are various embodiments for reducing input processing latency for remotely executed applications. An application is executed in a hosted environment, and a video signal generated by the application is encoded into a media stream. The media stream is sent to a client by way of a network. Unprocessed user input data for the application is obtained from the client computing device by way of the network. The unprocessed user input data is processed at a first processing rate that is above a second processing rate associated with a normal processing of the unprocessed user input data in the client.
