Methods and systems for managing virtual economy across different digital environments are provided. A request to interact with a first interactive software module is received at a first digital environment. The request is associated with a number of first virtual tokens required to interact with the first interactive software module. In response to receiving the request, an instance of the first interactive software module is executed. Based on an outcome determined by the first interactive software module, a number of second virtual tokens are generated. Data indicative of the number of second virtual tokens is transferred to a second digital environment via an abstraction layer, such that the second virtual tokens are usable with one or more second interactive software modules integrated with the second digital environment. At least one event handler is then provided to receive inputs for exchanging second virtual tokens for redeemable objects.

Systems and methods for encrypting a score are provided. The method comprises generating, by a processor executing compiled instructions, a score representing a result of an interactive digital instance operating on a web-browser executing on the processor, the interactive digital instance operating on the web-browser using the compiled instructions and a software development kit (SDK), receiving, by the interactive digital instance operating on the web-browser, an input for submitting the score representing the result of the interactive digital instance, accessing, by the compiled instructions executed by the processor, one or more additional instructions included as part of the SDK for encrypting the score responsive to the input, encrypting, by the processor, the score using one or more additional instructions included as part of the SDK, and transmitting the score that is encrypted, by the processor, to a device that is separate from and external to the processor.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for remotely modifying cloud-based client applications. The method can include: receiving a first request from a first client device of a user to initiate an interactive session with a cloud-based client application; reserving, in response to the first request, an application engine for executing the cloud-based client application remotely from the first client device; receiving a second request from the first client device to modify the cloud-based client application executing in the application engine using one or more software tools, wherein the one or more software tools are configured to execute remotely from the first client device; modifying the cloud-based client application in the application engine using the one or more software tools; and providing media data associated with the modified cloud-based client application to the first user via a display application on the first client device.

In an aspect, a request, from a first user of a plurality of users of an application client executing on respective mobile devices of the plurality of users, to interact with one or more other users of the plurality of users in the application client, based on a first plurality of interaction templates selected by the first user, can be received. A second user associated with a second interaction template can be determined from the plurality of users, and the determination can be based on an identification of a match between the second interaction template and a first interaction template from the first plurality of interaction templates. Interaction in the application client, between the first user and the second user, can be initiated in response to the determination of the second user. Related systems, apparatus, techniques, and articles are also described.

In an aspect, first interaction data characterizing a first interaction of a user with a mobile device configured to operate an application client can be received. A plurality of segments of users of the application client can be determined, and each of the plurality of segments can be associated with one or more settings that characterize an operating parameter of the application client. The user can be assigned to a first segment of the determined plurality of segments based on a correspondence between a characteristic of the user and a characteristic associated with the first segment. The application client can be modified based on the one or more settings associated with the first segment. The modified application client can be provided for interaction by the user via the mobile device. Related systems, apparatus, techniques, and articles are also described.

A user-activity video signal can be received. The user-activity video signal can comprise a video capture characterizing a user's interaction with a software application on a client. The software application can have an interface display space on the client and the software application can execute on the client in operation with at least one remote backend computing system. Backend user interaction data corresponding to the user's interaction with the software application as generated by the at least one remote backend computing system can be received. A new video comprising a plurality of divided segments of the user-activity video signal can be generated automatically using the backend user interaction data and a plurality of predefined rules. The new video can be provided. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.

A network can control the operation of multiple cloud-based applications to facilitate the coordination of live stream events across multiple client devices. The network can receive data characterizing live streams of digital content representing content instances running on cloud-based applications. The content instances can include a common gameplay session. A content event can be generated based on the common gameplay session, the content event including the live streams of digital content. Spectators can request access to the content event and permission can be granted by validating an identifier. Once access is granted to the content event, the live stream data can be output on a display. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.
