Abstract

See full text

A system, apparatus, and method are directed to synchronizing a result from a physics engine with a result from a game logic. Synchronization of results may be achieved by employing an arbitration rule to determine which result may dictate an overall game action. The game logic is enabled to determine a result for a game logic entity. The physics engine determines a result for an associated physics proxy. Upon determination of the result for the game logic entity, the physics engine determines the result for the associated physics proxy. If it is determined from the physics result that an interaction between objects occurred, the physics result is employed to synchronize the game logic result; otherwise, the result for the game logic entity is employed to drive the result for the physics proxy.
