A video game combines finger swiping to hurl a projectile at a target, with strategic elements arising from various combinations of player and target characteristics. User actions such as a direction of finger swipe against a touchscreen, a speed of finger swipe against the touchscreen, and/or a length of finger swipe against the touchscreen, may determine the trajectory and/or force of the projectile. The player may dynamically select specific roles from a plurality of cards available in a deck, with the particular role determining game parameters such as offensive effectiveness and defensive strength. The game may incorporate one or more strategic concepts such as the ability to combine roles, the evolution of roles over time, and the selective enlistment of allies.

A system and a method are disclosed for communicating between two programming languages on a client device. Commands in a high-level language are encoded as character string containing a series of numbers separated by delimiters, with each component of the command encoded as a different number. The encoded character strings are passed to compiled code that runs natively on the client device, and the native code decodes the character strings into corresponding native commands and executes the native commands. This communication protocol allows applications written in high-level code to perform functions that are typically set aside for native code, such as communicating with web servers and modifying files saved in memory. High-level code may also be transferred to client devices without being subjected to the restrictions that some operating systems place on the transfer for application binaries, which allows application developers to automatically send application updates to users.
