Abstract

A method performed by a processor of a electronic device, including rendering (), on an electronic display, a line segment having a first direction and moving in a second direction. The method also includes a step of determining () whether the direction of the line segment (the first direction) is in the same direction that the line segment is moving (the second direction). If the processor determines that the line segment is not moving in the same direction of the direction of the line segment (the first direction), then the processor performs () a first action, such as adjusting the color intensity of the line segment. If the processor determines that the line segment is moving in the same direction of the direction of the line segment (e.g., the two directions are substantially parallel to each other), then the processor performs () a second action.
