Controlling a user interface

A computer device comprising:

• a graphical user interface;
• one or more processors configured to execute game code, which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:
• display on the graphical user interface a set of levels of a game;
• detect a user selection of one of the set of levels at the graphical user interface;
• determine that the user is partaking in a first level of a multiple level fragment collection event, the fragment collection event defining a set of collection conditions associated with a set of levels of varying difficulty to be consecutively completed by a user;
• determine that one of the collection conditions is satisfied in the first level and assigning one or more fragments to the user, the fragments having no utility within a game environment comprising the game, wherein only one collection condition can be satisfied per level selection;
• store in computer memory a fragment count associated with the user;
• where assigning the one or more fragments to the user comprises incrementing the fragment count associated with the user by a first predefined amount associated with the satisfied collection condition of the first level and storing a first incremented fragment count in the computer memory,
• determine by the one or more processor that the user is partaking in a second level of the fragment collection event,
• increment the fragment count associated with the user by a second predefined amount associated with a satisfied collection condition of the second level,
• store a second incremented fragment count in the computer memory,
• wherein the predefined amount is increased based on the number of levels consecutively completed by the user,
• wherein a total fragment count defines a total number of fragments collected by the user in the completed levels of the multiple level fragment collection event, wherein the multiple level fragment collection event is associated with a predefined time period;
• and render an inactivatable visual indication of the fragment count on the graphical user interface.

A non-transitory computer readable media on which is stored computer readable code which, when executed by one or more processor, causes the one or more processor to:

• display on a graphical user interface of a computer device a set of levels of a game;
• detect a user selection of one of the set of levels at the graphical user interface;
• determine that the user is partaking in a first level of a multiple level fragment collection event, the fragment collection event defining a set of collection conditions associated with a set of levels of increasing difficulty to be consecutively completed by a user;
• determine that one of the collection conditions is satisfied in the first level and assigning one or more fragments to the user, the fragments having no utility within a game environment comprising the game, wherein only one collection condition can be satisfied per level selection;
• store in computer memory a fragment count associated with the user;
• where assigning the one or more fragments to the user comprises incrementing the fragment count associated with the user by a first predefined amount associated with the satisfied collection condition of the first level and storing a first incremented fragment count in the computer memory,
• determine by the one or more processor that the user is partaking in a second level of the fragment collection event,
• increment the fragment count associated with the user by a second predefined amount associated with a satisfied collection condition of the second level, and
• store a second incremented fragment count in the computer memory,
• wherein the predefined amount is increased based on the number of levels consecutively completed by the user,
• wherein a total fragment count defines a total number of fragments collected by the user in the completed levels of the multiple level fragment collection event, wherein the multiple level fragment collection event is associated with a predefined time period;
• and render an inactivatable visual indication of the fragment count on the graphical user interface.
