Abstract

The present invention allows a user to select between playing a predefined game provided via a game application, or customize a game and share the customized game with friends via a global network. In certain embodiments, the user customizes the game by authoring content and incorporating the authored content and if desired sampled content (like a DJ) into the customized game. For example, a user may mesh together pieces of music (blocks of digital data) to author a new piece of music, and the customized game might be a multimedia presentation of the user's new piece of music. The user can then share or publish the new piece of music (custom content) as a published customized game.
