A method, a system and an article of manufacture are provided to generally enable computer interactivity for any type of application. The method is also capable of providing interacting functionality with a computer game. The method includes presenting a pattern code defined by at least two tags. Applying a light toward the pattern code at a specific time. Then, the method moves to capturing a first video frame of the pattern code before the light is applied to the pattern code, such that the first video frame defines a first characteristic of the pattern code. A second video frame is then captured for the pattern code when the light is applied to the pattern code, such that the second video frame defines a second characteristic of the pattern code. The method then enables decoding of the first characteristic and the second characteristic of the pattern code to produce decoded information.
