This is almost exactly what I'm currently coding in a side project in order to dynamically load different parts of a game when necessary instead of front-loading it all at once.
This is just another example of an obvious method to solve a problem that any developer will come up with as soon as they need to solve that problem.
- lttlrck 14y agoalmost exactly... ok.
- Sambdala 14y agoDid you read the code in the linked document? It's trivial and obvious.
- gcr 14y agoIt's also an extremely narrow patent; the only claims that are likely to be accepted only cover web applications, and the later claims only cover programs written in Javascript. If you can successfully convince people that your game is not a web application, or if it is not written in Javascript, this patent may not even apply to you. We'll have to see. (IANAL)
- Sambdala 14y agoMy program is a web app, and it is written in JS. The code in the application looks remarkably similar to my own. The major difference is they're looking for a new version of software that exists on the client while mine looks to see if a certain module/game is loaded in the client and then loads it in if it's not already present.
