1. An electronic device comprising:
- at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to perform at least the following,determine, based upon a data structure stored in the at least one memory, an association between a device configuration of the electronic device from a plurality of device configurations with a respective game configuration, the game configuration specifying one or more parameters of a game;
identify a current device configuration for the electronic device;
determine a current game configuration associated with the current device configuration;
detect an accessory device and a model of the accessory device;
modify the current device configuration based, at least in part, on the detection;
decrease one or more parameters of the game configuration over time, in response to a determination that a new model of the accessory device is available; and
control the game by setting one or more parameters in the game as specified by the modified current game configuration.

Abstract
A gaming device for playing a game including one or more parameters that affect a user'"'"'s participation in the game, the gaming device including a memory storing a data structure that associates each one of a plurality of device configurations with a respective game configuration, wherein each game configuration differently specifies one or more parameters of the game; means for identifying the current device configuration for the device; means for using the data structure to determine a current game configuration associated with the current device configuration; and means for controlling the game by setting parameters in the game as specified by the current game configuration.

17. A method comprising:
-
determining by an electronic device, based upon a data structure stored in the at least one memory, an association between a device configuration of the electronic device from a plurality of device configurations with a respective game configuration, the game configuration specifying one or more parameters of a game; identifying by the electronic device a current device configuration for the electronic device; determining by the electronic device a current game configuration associated with the current device configuration; detecting by the electronic device an accessory device and a model of the accessory device; modifying by the electronic device the current device configuration based, at least in part, on the detection; decreasing by the electronic device one or more parameters of the game configuration over time, in response to a determination that a new model of the accessory device is available; and controlling the game by the electronic device by setting one or more parameters in the game as specified by the modified current game configuration. - View Dependent Claims (18)
