Abstract
The present disclosure, in one embodiment, relates to a computer-based system for virtual navigation that includes a server for managing the virtual navigation of one or more non-player characters, and at least one player console in operable communication with the server over a network. Each of the at least one player console includes a gaming platform for executing a gaming environment, wherein the server generates a virtualized flow of randomly colliding non-player characters, each of which descend through a structure with varying dwell times at one or more chamber nodes and then exits at an end of the dwell time for a given non-player character.
Claims20
A computer-based system for virtual navigation, the system comprising:
- a server for managing the virtual navigation of one or more non-player characters;
- and
- at least one player console in operable communication with the server over a network, each of at least one player console comprising a gaming platform for executing a gaming environment, wherein the server generates a virtualized flow of randomly colliding non-player characters, each of which descend through a structure with varying dwell times at one or more chamber nodes and then exit at an end of the dwell time for a given non-player character.
A computer-based system for connected play, the system comprising:
- a server for managing a virtual navigation of one or more non-player characters;
- and
- a configuration engine in operable communication with the server over a network, wherein the configuration engine creates a user defined pathway or plurality of pathways for one or more non-player characters to travel through in the virtual navigation.
A method of connected play for at least one user of a computer-based virtual navigation game, the method comprising:
- opening a digital configuration within an application running the computer-based virtual navigation game;
- digitally drawing in the application a new configuration of the digital configuration that was opened;
- saving the new digital configuration in the application;
- and
- sharing the new digital configuration in the application.
