A computer system has a plurality of computers, each of which is loaded with software for providing a web browser function. The computers can interact with each other via the world wide web, and the system has a plurality of web servers, each having a respective address, and software for defining a notional multi-dimensional space which contains said browsers and in which the co-ordinates of the position of each browser in that space are derived from the address of a server computer. There is also software that permits interactions between said computers when the locations of their browsers relative to each other in the notional space satisfy a predetermined requirement, for example when the browsers are at the same position in the notional space. The system enables the playing of a game to be incorporated into the "surfing" of the world wide web. The invention also lies in a computer program for causing a computer to interact with another computer via a computer network, when the program has instructions for creating a notional multi-dimensional space, the co-ordinates of points in which are representative of network addresses, and for causing said computer to access any two or anymore selected addresses and for calculating distance in the notional space between the co-ordinate points corresponding to those addresses. <IMAGE> |
