Abstract
A first user device is provided. Via the user interface a first computer implemented game within a messaging application can be selected. The first computer implemented game is related, but different, to second computer implemented game. Game play in one of the first and second computer implemented game is dependent on game play in the other of the first and second computer implemented games.
Claims21
A first computer device, the first computer device having at least one processor, at least one memory, a display, and a user interface, the at least one processor configured to:
- cause the display to display images associated with a messaging application, said messaging application supporting messaging between the first computer device associated with a first user and a second computer device associated with a second user;
- receive first user input information from the user interface to select a first computer implemented game to play within the messaging application;
- cause the display to display game information for the first computer implemented game within the messaging application;
- receive second user input information from the user interface defining one or more game moves with respect to the first computer implemented game within the messaging application;
- responsive to receiving the second user input from the user interface, causing display on the display of a video image associated with second user input;
- cause a first message to be sent via the messaging application to the second computer device associated with the second user responsive to the received second user input information, the first message comprising a video clip of the video image.
The first computer device as claimed 16, wherein the next game challenge is dependent on a location of one or more of the first and second computer devices.
A non-transitory computer readable storage device storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a first computer device cause the at least one processor to perform the following steps:
- cause a display of the computer device to display images associated with a messaging application, said messaging application supporting messaging between the first computer device associated with a first user and a second computer device associated with a second user;
- receive first user input information from a user interface of the computer device to select a first computer implemented game to play within the messaging application;
- cause the display to display game information for the first computer implemented game within the messaging application;
- receive second user input information from the user interface defining one or more game moves with respect to the first computer implemented game within the messaging application;
- responsive to receiving the second user input from the user interface, causing display on the display of a video image associated with second user input;
- cause a first message to be sent via the messaging application to the second computer device associated with the second user responsive to the received second user input information, the first message comprising a video clip of the video image.
A computer implemented method performed by a first computer device, the first computer device having at least one processor, at least one memory, a display, and a user interface, the method comprising:
- causing the display to display images associated with a messaging application, said messaging application supporting messaging between the first computer device associated with a first user and a second computer device associated with a second user;
- receiving first user input information from the user interface to select a first computer implemented game to play within the messaging application;
- causing the display to display game information for the first computer implemented game within the messaging application;
- receiving second user input information from the user interface defining one or more game moves with respect to the first computer implemented game within the messaging application;
- responsive to receiving the second user input from the user interface, causing display on the display of a video image associated with second user input;
- causing a first message to be sent via the messaging application to the second computer device associated with the second user responsive to the received second user input information, the first message comprising a video clip of the video image.
