Abstract
A game board is displayed on a display of a computer device. When a user engages with one or more game elements in a move, at least one processor of the computer device determines a first characteristic of a game element associated with the triggering of a first game element, a first direction associated with the triggering and a first set of locations along the first direction. The at least one processor is configured to associate each location of the determined first set of locations with a game element having the determined first characteristic.
Claims24
A computer device comprising:
- a display configured to display game elements in a game board comprising tiles having a background appearance, each game element supported by a respective tile and at least one of the game elements, when triggered, causing a first effect;
- a user interface configured to detect user input when a user engages with one or more game elements in a move;
- and
- at least one processor configured:
- to determine when the user engages with at least one game element that this causes a first game element to be triggered which causes the first effect;
- to, in response to determining that the first game element associated with the first effect is triggered,
- determine a first characteristic of a game element associated with the triggering of the first game element,
- determine a first direction associated with the triggering of the first game element;
- and
- determine a first set of locations on the game board along the first direction, each location of the determined first set of locations associated with a displayed respective game element having a respective characteristic;
- wherein the at least one processor is configured to associate each location of the determined first set of locations with a game element having the determined first characteristic.

A computer implemented method comprising:
- causing, by at least one processor of a computer device, display by a display of the computer device, game elements in a game board comprising tiles having a background appearance, each game element supported by a respective tile and at least one of the game elements, when triggered, causing a first effect;
- detecting, via a user interface of the computer device, user input when a user engages with one or more game elements in a move;
- determining, by the at least processor, when the user engages with at least one game element that this causes a first game element to be triggered which causes the first effect;
- and
- in response to determining that the first game element associated with the first effect is triggered,
- determining, by the at least processor, a first characteristic of a game element associated with the triggering of the first game element,
- determining, by the at least processor, a first direction associated with the triggering of the first game element;
- and
- determining, by the at least processor, a first set of locations on the game board along the first direction, each location of the determined first set of locations associated with a displayed respective game element having a respective characteristic;
- wherein the method comprises associating, by the at least one processor, each location of the determined first set of locations with a game element having the determined first characteristic.

A non-transitory computer readable storage device storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computer device causes the at least one processor to:
- cause display by a display of the computer device, game elements in a game board comprising tiles having a background appearance, each game element supported by a respective tile and at least one of the game elements, when triggered, causing a first effect;
- detect, via a user interface of the computer device, user input when a user engages with one or more game elements in a move;
- determine when the user engages with at least one game element that this causes a first game element to be triggered which causes the first effect;
- in response to determining that the first game element associated with the first effect is triggered,
- determine a first characteristic of a game element associated with the triggering of the first game element,
- determine a first direction associated with the triggering of the first game element;
- and
- determine a first set of locations on the game board along the first direction, each location of the determined first set of locations associated with a displayed respective game element having a respective characteristic;
- and
- associate each location of the determined first set of locations with a game element having the determined first characteristic.
