Abstract
Example game systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a sensing device determines an identity of a game piece in a physical space and detects a movement action associated with the game piece. A computing device calculates a distance and direction associated with the movement action and determines a result of the movement action based on the distance, the direction, and the identity of the game piece.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- detecting, by a sensing device, a movement action associated with a game piece in a physical space by detecting a movement of the sensing device;
- calculating, by a computing device, a distance and direction associated with the movement action;
- and
- determining, by the computing device, a result of the movement action based on the distance, the direction, and the identity of the game piece.

An apparatus comprising:
- a sensing device configured to detect movement of a first game piece or a second game piece in a physical space by detecting a movement of the sensing device, the sensing device further configured to calculate a distance and direction associated with the movement action;
- and
- a computing device configured to determine a result of an interaction between the first game piece and the second game piece based on the distance, the direction, an identity of the first game piece, and an identity of the second game piece.
A method comprising:
- identifying an interaction between a first game piece and a second game piece in a physical space by detecting a movement action of at least one of the first game piece and the second game piece based on a movement of a sensing device;
- calculating, by a computing device, a result of the interaction between the first game piece and the second game piece;
- and
- updating, by the computing device, game data associated with the first game piece and the second game piece based on the result of the interaction.
