<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an enhanced method and apparatus for use in a multi-player video game for selecting and rendering performance data. <P>SOLUTION: In a simulated multiple driver racing game application, a user is presented with an option for selecting any of various "ghost data" packages for downloading. For example, the user may be presented with the option of selecting one of an array of ghost data packages to race against such as the top five buddies of the user with highest scores, five buddies with scores similar to a user's own score, and teams/groups of various varieties. A simulated race in a computing device initially occurs with objects and a playing field of relatively low graphic complexity, limited by constraints of the system's processing power and the associated limited number of polygons that can be processed per second, the resolution of the screen, etc. A more powerful rendering of such objects/playing field thereafter takes place in a server after the ghost/performance data is collected and uploaded. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
