Abstract
Network simulation systems and methods to execute and manage simulations or games are disclosed. The simulations or games are managed so that participants of each team are prevented from having access to information which they are not expected or supposed to have in the context of a fair simulation or game. To do this, a server, in addition to running a complete simulation, runs partial simulations for each particular team based only on information available to each particular team, where the partial simulations match the simulations done locally by clients. The server also generates and transmits correction patches to the clients, and the clients use the correction patches to modify their partial simulations to incorporate information from the complete simulation which is allowed to be accessed by the client.
