1. A computer-implemented method for distributing video game entities between a host desktop and mobile devices, the method comprising: launching a video game on the host desktop, wherein the game interface includes additional in-game interface windows; sending an in-game audio and video data to a host operating system; translating the controls input data into game actions; processing the in-game audio and video data by a game logic module; providing the in-game audio and video data and game logic data to a built-in web server running on the host desktop and integrated into the video game; prompting a mobile device for an authorization to connect to the built-in web server; sending game mechanics data to a local network address where it is readable by a browser, including browsers for mobile devices, wherein the in-game audio and video data do not require authorization for access on the local network by the mobile device; and receiving game control inputs from the mobile device, if the mobile device is authorized, wherein the additional in-game interface windows shown on the host desktop are instead hidden or minimized on the host desktop and are displayed on the mobile device.
