Claim 6:
7. A system for prioritizing generation of image frames, comprising:
a client device; and
one or more server nodes coupled to the client device via a computer network, wherein the one or more server nodes are configured to:
receive a first user input from the client device via the computer network during a play of a game;
predict a second user input to follow the first user input, wherein the second input is predicted based on a game state during the play of the game;
generate, for display on the client device, one or more image frames of the game based on the second user input;
determine whether a third user input is received via the computer network from the client device instead of the second user input that was predicted, wherein the determination whether the third user input is received occurs while the one or more image frames are being generated based on the second user input;
discontinue the generation of the one or more image frames based on the second user input and instead generate one or more image frames based on the third user input when it is determined that the third user input is received instead of the second user input, wherein the generation of the one or more image frames based on the second user input is discontinued before the one or more image frames generated based on the second user input are sent; and
send the one or more image frames generated based on the third user input via the computer network to the client device for display on the client device.
