CONTROL ALGORITHMS AND METHODS

摘要

A method and device for controlling a user interface displaying a game board is described, the method comprising the following implemented by at least one processor in communication with said interface and at least one memory, displaying a game board arrangement having a plurality of game objects each having one or more characteristics, information on said game board arrangement and said game objects being stored in said at least one memory, determining an initial selection of a first game object in dependence on user input via said user interface and in dependence on the stored information on said game board arrangement, determining a subsequent input selection of a second game object in dependence on user input via said user interface and in dependence on the stored information on said game board arrangement, executing an algorithm for determining the validity of the subsequent selection as being valid defined by said first and second game objects in dependence on a first direction of said sequence with respect to the game board arrangement, the length of said sequence and if the first and second game object have at least one same characteristic, updating said game board arrangement information such that all game objects of the determined valid sequence are eliminated, and displaying said updated game board arrangement.

1. A computer implemented method of controlling a user interface and displaying a game board arrangement, the method comprising the following implemented by at least one processor in communication with said interface and at least one memory:
displaying a game board arrangement having a plurality of game objects each having one or more characteristics, information on said game board arrangement and said game objects being stored in said at least one memory, determining an initial selection of a first game object in dependence on user input via said user interface and in dependence on the stored information on said game board arrangement, determining a subsequent input selection of a second game object in dependence on user input via said user interface and in dependence on the stored information on said game board arrangement, executing an algorithm for determining the validity of the subsequent selection as being valid defined by said first and second game objects in dependence on a first direction of said sequence with respect to the game board arrangement, the length of said sequence and if the first and second game object have at least one same characteristic, updating said game board arrangement information such that all game objects of the determined valid sequence are eliminated, and displaying said updated game board arrangement.
