Computing device independent and transferable game level design and other objects

摘要

A system which employs a method of creating transferable map schemas, storing the map schemas to storage devices, receiving target device settings, re-sampling the map schemas to fit the target devices using the target device settings, delivering the re-sampled map schemas to the target devices is described. Thereby providing the innovation that map schemas may be accessed by more than one type of device, the method by which maps are scaled from a created map dimension with given details to either a larger map having the ability to be utilized on a more capable playing device or to a map or a smaller map having the ability to be utilized on a less capable device without losing the important game-specific required data is also described.

1. A method of establishing and sharing an application savepoint for a plurality of computing devices, the method comprising:
establishing a savepoint of an active application currently operating on a first computing device, the savepoint corresponding to a specific progress state of the active application; identifying at least one other computing device to receive the savepoint; modifying values in the savepoint to adjust graphics according to the at least one other computing device; transmitting the savepoint to the at least one other computing device; launching the application on the at least one other computing device and associating the savepoint with the application; and resuming the same specific progress state on the at least one other computing device, wherein the modifying of the values comprises reading target map settings in a map request made by the at least one other computing device and re-sampling the requested map based on the target map settings.
