Abstract

A computer device has user interface configured to display user actuatable game elements and to detect user input when a user engages with a game element; and a processor configured to receive a detected user input and on detecting a match game condition to control the user interface to remove at least three game elements from the display and to provide on the user interface replacement user actuatable game elements, wherein the manner of providing each replacement game element has a graphical representation governed by a tile associated with each game element, wherein each tile has a selectable physics which controls at least one of (i) the direction in which it moves to replenish a vacancy left by the removed user game elements; and (ii) the speed at which it moves to replenish the vacancy.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to controlling a user interface in response to user interaction with displayed elements on the interface of a computer device. Background technique [0002] In the field of computer-implemented games, there are many technical challenges that designers of such games face when considering how to control user interfaces in the context of the computer devices available to play the games. [0003] One technical challenge may involve allowing the game to be fun and engaging even when there are limited display resources available, such as when playing the game on a smartphone, tablet, or other minicomputer. Another major challenge is user interaction. Interaction involves designing game play to be engaging and rewarding for the player. This usually requires games to be easy to understand at their simplest or beginner level, offering rewards to play with fairly simple game mechanics, but becoming increasingly challenging so that...
