Abstract
Systems, methods, and media are provided for the selective indication of the presence of off-screen objects in the shared gaming environment of a multiplayer game played on a mobile device. The shared gaming environment can include a game space and a plurality of objects located at various places of the game space. The player may view a portion of the game space via a screen view presented by the mobile device. The screen view can be bordered by a frame area that includes a portion of the game space that is outside of the screen view. Based on a predetermined rule set, the presence of an object that is located within the frame area can be selectively indicated within the screen view by a visual indicator, such as an icon. The visual indicator can be assembled from a library of elements to visually communicate contextually relevant information to the player.
