A METHOD FOR GENERATING AN EFFECT SCRIPT CORRESPONDING TO A GAME PLAY EVENT

摘要

An apparatus (100) arranged to generate an effect script and a method for generating an effect script corresponding to a game play event provided by a video game program comprising a game engine is described in which a game engine interface is used to code the game play event in graphical data for display on a screen by adjusting a value of at least one parameter of the game engine. A predefined region (310) of a displayed screen (300) corresponding to said graphical data is captured and decoded to obtain a retrieved game play event that corresponds to the game play event, and an effect script corresponding to the retrieved game play event is determined. The effect script is provided to the effects devices (12, 14, 16, 112) to render ambient effects related to the game play event.
