Scripting engine and implementations

A computer-implemented system for providing multi-user interactive virtual simulations for respective pluralities of devices substantially in real-time, the system comprising:

• non-transitory processor readable media;
• at least one processor operatively coupled to the non-transitory processor readable media, wherein the non-transitory processor readable media have instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform the following steps:
• provide to a plurality of computing devices a multi-user interactive virtual simulation in a first state as a function of an input layer, a rendering layer, a simulation layer, and a scripting layer, wherein the multi-user interactive virtual simulation is provided to each of the plurality of computing devices over at least one respective network;
• receive over the at least one respective network at least one value associated with an object associated with the simulation;
• convert the received at least one value to at least one fixed point value;
• provide to the plurality of computing devices the multi-user interactive virtual simulation in a synchronized second state as a function of the converted at least one value, wherein the multi-user interactive virtual simulation is provided to the plurality of computing devices in the second state identically and substantially simultaneously.
