Sequential selection of multiple objects

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

• by an input module comprising one or more processors of the machine, receiving path input data that defines a path on a screen that displays icons available for selection;
• by a selector module comprising one or more processors of the machine, determining a selected subset of the displayed icons based on the path input data and based on locations of the displayed icons on the screen, the selected subset having a sequential order defined by the path input data and the locations of the displayed icons on the screen;
• by the selector module comprising one or more processors of the machine, determining an action to be targeted at the selected subset of the displayed icons;
• and
• by an action module comprising one or more processors of the machine, causing the screen to display performance of the action targeted at each icon in the selected subset in the sequential order of the selected subset of the displayed icons.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• an input module comprising one or more of the processors and configured to receive path input data that defines a path on a screen that displays icons available for selection;
• a selector module comprising one or more of the processors and configured to:
• determine a selected subset of the displayed icons based on the path input data and based on locations of the displayed icons on the screen, the selected subset having a sequential order defined by the path input data and the locations of the displayed icons on the screen;
• and
• determine an action to be targeted at the selected subset of the displayed icons;
• and
• an action module comprising one or more of the processors and configured to cause the screen to display performance of the action targeted at each icon in the selected subset in the sequential order of the selected subset of the displayed icons.
