Abstract:
A game platform for a device associated with a player is provided, the platform comprising a controller module that can function as an input device for a game or application that is running either on the player's device or on a separate device; and a connectivity module to facilitate the discovery of, and connection to, games and applications in the local vicinity of the player's device, to enable the player to connect their device as a controller to a game that is running on another device. The connectivity module of the game platform facilitates the discovery of, and connection to, games and applications on a local network in the vicinity of the player's device. In response to a hosting player creating a game or application session using a host device, the controller module of the game platform of the hosting player's host device generates a unique code that can be used to identify the session uniquely on the local network.
