Abstract

A method and system for providing an interactive and player contributed network game having real life emulations where a number of players are in operable communication with a system network via player terminals through internet or mobile phone. The actual players are able to contribute and improve the game by providing databases having a number of classes, objects, methods, attributes and/or actions selectable by a player in accordance with his envisaged role in the game, enabling a player to create and introduce a class, an object, a method and/or an attribute that is different from the initial form of the databases, assessing and storing the newly introduced aspects into the databases, and allowing access for other players into this new input of the player, and adapting the system action simulator to produce subsequent system actions having effect on other players based on the new aspects made by the player.

(b) providing a user database for storing the identity and selections of said player, the user database being in interactive communication with said model database and object database,

(c) providing a variables database and an action database for storing system variables and actions having defined effects for the game environment respectively, said variable and object databases being in interactive communication with the real time action simulator wherein the player is allowed to produce an action selected from the action database and define the variables associated with said action, whereas other players involved in the game are allowed to produce an effect selected from said action database in response thereto,

(d) enabling a player to create and introduce a class, an object, a method, an attribute and/or an action that is different from those previously defined in the databases,

(e) assessing and storing said newly introduced class, object, method, attribute and/or action in the relevant databases, and allowing other players to get access into this new input of the player, and

(f) adapting the real time action simulator to produce subsequent system actions having effect on other players based on said new input of class, object, method, attribute and/or action made by the player.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein said classes, objects, methods, attributes and/or actions are selected as compatible with a real life environment.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the communication of the system network and player terminals is provided with internet.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the further comprises providing a system of artificial intelligence to understand behaviors of the players and to change the system parameters based on said behaviors.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein the system of artificial intelligence consists of decision trees, genetic programming or neural networks.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method comprises producing the result of an action by way of a weight random determination, real world statistics or data crawled from internet.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein said method further comprises connecting the system network to outside real life actions via internet and allowing the game environment and players to be affected by said actions.

8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises providing a graphical user interface allowing the players to create an object structure.

9. The method according to claim 8, wherein said graphical user interface is being executed by a web, computer or mobile phone program.

10. The method according to claim 8, wherein said graphical user interface is an animated interface, an admin panel or a management interface where the players can see the actions they have done, the actions that they can do, the effects, the values of the system variables, and/or the actions that the other players have done to them.

11. The method according to claim 8, wherein said graphical user interface involves a multi-lingual interface to allow players who do not have language skills in a common language to communicate with each other.

12. The method according to claim 1, wherein the player is having a character and said character having attributes selected from the group of health, chance, stress, entertainment and security.

13. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method involves an amount of artificial money indicating the points of the player.

14. The method according to claim 1, wherein the class is a company having methods of investment and advertisement, and attributes of type and budget.

15. The method according to claim 1, wherein the system network is adapted to periodically or randomly create an action including the actions which have been done by a player and affecting the other players;

realities in real life that affect the system of the game; and

system parameters and random.

16. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method is carried out in a social network or internet site.

17. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method comprises executing programs of bots acting as players, which bots are replaced by an actual player when said player joins the game.

18. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises the step of verifying the new class, object, method, attribute and/or the action created by the player before they are stored in the databases.

19. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises the step of calculating the time necessary for carrying out the actions in the game environment such that said time is equal to the real time multiplied by a time scale constant which is a number below 1.

20. A system for providing an interactive and player contributed network game to a plurality of players operating player terminals acting as clients on a system network, the system comprising:
