    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented methods and systems cause a second screen device to display custom-built layouts once the second screen device has been converted to a video game controller. For example, the disclosed methods and system convert the second screen device to a video game controller for a video game being supported by a digital content system and displayed on a separate first screen device. In response to detecting a trigger event, the disclosed methods and systems replace a standard layout on the second screen device with a custom-built layout. Where the standard layout is limited to standard video game controls at standard positions, the custom-built layout includes any type combination of customized video game controls, colors, graphics, animations, and so forth. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented methods and systems include generating an adaptive control layout in connection with a video game and for a second screen device while the video game is being played via a physically separate first screen device. For example, the disclosed methods and systems can determine that a trigger event has occurred relative to the video game based on control inputs from video game controls displayed on the second screen device. The disclosed systems and methods can generate a new control layout that is tailored to the trigger event. The disclosed systems and methods can automatically replace the first control layout with the second control layout on the second screen device without interrupting video game play. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented methods and systems include generating and implementing video game control compositions like puzzle pieces that can be encoded into a video game once while providing functionality, positioning, and scalability in connection with multiple video game control elements. For example, the disclosed methods and system can cause video game control elements from a video game control composition to be rendered on the second screen device according to positioning instructions associated with an area defined by the composition and scaling instructions that are specific to characteristics of the second screen device. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
