Electronic device for facilitating user interactions with graphical objects presented on a display

An electronic device comprising:

• a display;
• a timer;
• and
• computing hardware configured to execute non-transitory machine readable instructions, wherein execution of the non-transitory machine readable instructions by the computing hardware is configured to cause the electronic device to:
• render a game on the display with a game area;
• present four or more selectable graphical objects in the game area, the four or more selectable graphical objects arranged in a form of an array having vertical columns and horizontal rows;
• detect a selection and movement of a first graphical object of the four or more selectable graphical objects in the game area towards a second graphical object of the four or more selectable graphical objects in the game area;
• move the first graphical object to an original position of the second graphical object and move the second graphical object to an original position of the first graphical object;
• start the timer;
• enable a selection of at least a third graphical object;
• and
• when movement of the at least third graphical object towards a fourth graphical object is detected during a time period of the timer, exchanging positions of the at least third graphical object with the fourth graphical object in the array;
• determine if three or more adjacent graphical objects in one of the vertical columns or one of the horizontal rows match;
• and
• if a match is determined, replace the matching three or more adjacent graphical objects with new graphical objects and calculate a number of points to be awarded based on one or more of a number of matching adjacent graphical objects in the determined match and a number of the determined match during the game.
