The present invention is a process for creating custom graphical images. A computer user activates the process by selecting a base image or set of base images. The base images may be chosen from a library of such images or created by the user directly. The user also specifies a plurality of user data items. These items may include text to be inserted into the custom image, the font, size or style of the text, the desired size of the custom image or other data items specific to the image, such as the color of particular parts. The custom image is then created by configuring transformation operations based on the user supplied data, applying the transformation operations to the base images and assembling the transformed base images to create the custom image. This custom image can then be used by the user in any way that an image created directly by them could be used.

Method for creating graphical images

A general purpose computer functions as an augmented assisted computing (AAC) system. The AAC system facilitates user access to, and control of, general purpose computer programs. In particular, the computing device is universally accessible to all users, regardless of physical ability.

The invention consists of a game composed of a plurality of tiles which are arranged to form a playing surface, each tile divided into a plurality of subunits, each subunit having a plurality of distinguishing characteristics, a plurality of pawns which can occupy these subunits and can move on this surface. The players start the game by placing the tiles on a table and the pawns on the subunits to create an initial layout. Play then progresses with each play consisting of the movement of a tile to create a new layout or the movement of a pawn on the playing surface. The tiles may be arranged in an arbitrary manner subject to the constraint that the resulting configuration must always be connected and subunits on one tile must be aligned with subunits on adjacent tiles. A particular subconfiguration of pawns and tiles is designated as the goal and the player achieving this configuration wins the game. Another subconfiguration is defined which allows the player achieving that configuration to move one of the opposing player's pawns.
