Abstract
A system, computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a computer-implemented method for creating and representing a resource object in a virtual environment are presented. To begin, a graphical user interface may be provided to a player. The graphical user interface may display a virtual environment that includes the resource object and a game object. A resource object can be created by a player through selection of an area within the virtual environment. Responsive to definition of the selected area, the resource object is created and displayed in the virtual environment, having a resource production capacity determined by the size of the selected area.
