Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de jeu (200) comprenant : une unité de mémoire d'état (201) qui enregistre un état du jeu en cours ; une unité de mémoire d'historique (202) qui enregistre un historique de l'état du jeu ; une unité de réception d'opération (203) qui reçoit une entrée de commande d'un joueur ; une unité de mise à jour (204) qui change l'état du jeu en fonction de l'entrée de commande reçue et met à jour l'état du jeu en cours ; une unité d'affichage (205) qui affiche une image d'état (251) en fonction de l'état du jeu en cours et une image d'historique (252) en fonction de l'historique de l'état du jeu ; et une unité de commande de reprise (206). Quand une instruction de reprise d'un jeu est reçue après une interruption du jeu, l'unité de commande de reprise (206) reprend le jeu au moment qui précède l'heure du jeu interrompu selon une période prédéfinie. L'unité de commande de reprise (206) compare l'historique de l'état du jeu à l'état du jeu après la reprise et évalue le joueur en fonction de l'historique du meilleur état de jeu.
