A game having a plurality of engines is described. In one or more implementations, a computing device displays an output of a first engine of a game by a computing device. An input is received by the computing device to switch from the output of the first engine of the game to an output of a second engine of the game, the first and second engines being executed concurrently by the computing device. Responsive to the receipt of the input, the computing device switches from displaying of the output of the first engine of the game to displaying the output of the second engine of the game.

Determining document layout between different views is disclosed. The content of the document is reformatted between layouts while user experience elements are persisted between views. In general, a user may switch between document views. An anchor point for a first view is identified and the anchor point is mapped to the content of the new view. The anchor point is positioned in the new view to allow a smooth user transition between views. Zooming ratios and selections may be persisted between views to create continuity between views. Objects may be reformatted between views to best fit the view.

Various technologies and techniques are disclosed that provide ways to position, size, and/or anchor page elements for display on varying output devices. A user can assign rendering specifications to both text and graphic elements. Rendering specifications include, but are not limited to width, height, anchor(s), and/or offset(s) to one, some, or all page elements. Page elements will appear in the positions and relationships to each other as specified in the source document.
