Video game with decoupled render and display rate

A method using a server for providing a game to a plurality of terminal devices communicatively connected to the server, the method being implemented in a central processing unit of the server by executing machine readable instructions, the method comprising:

• progressing the game in accordance with input information sent from a terminal device among the plurality of terminal devices;
• generating, at a first fixed time interval, frame information for rendering one frame of a game screen corresponding to progression of the game on the terminal device in accordance with progression of the game;
• obtaining, at a second fixed time interval, time information that specifies a throughput of the terminal device, the second fixed time interval being different from the first fixed time interval;
• and
• determining whether to send the generated frame information to the terminal device based on the obtained time information such that in response to a determination that a time period reflected by the obtained time information is greater than the first fixed time interval, sending of the generated frame information is skipped.

A server for providing a game to a plurality of terminal devices communicatively connected to the server, the server comprising:

• a central processing unit;
• memory storage configured to store machine-readable instructions that, when executed, cause the central processing unit to
• progress the game in accordance with input information sent from a terminal device among the plurality of terminal devices;
• generate, at a first fixed time interval, frame information for rendering a set of a first number of frames of a game screen corresponding to progression of the game on the terminal device;
• obtain, from the terminal device, at a second fixed time interval, frame rendering information reflecting a second number of frames that can be rendered on the terminal device in the first fixed time interval, the second fixed time interval being different from the first fixed time interval;
• and
• determine whether to send the generated frame information to the terminal device, based on the frame rendering information such that in response to a determination that the second number being less than the first number, one or more frames in the set are not sent to the terminal device.
