Abstract
Controlling the display of a computer device to deliver functions of a new type of clicker game, in which a player can control the location at which a booster is created on a game board. This provides a player with many more strategic options over game play because the clearing effects of a booster can be targeted more effectively. A game element which a player selects (clicks) to remove a group of adjacent matching game elements is identified and its location on the game board is 'reserved'. When the game board refills, the 'reserved' location is not refilled, but remains as a ‘soft void’ in which a booster object can be created after refill has taken place. At that point the booster may be activated (automatically or by user interaction).
