  • Patent number: 11745111
    Abstract: According to a first aspect, there is provided a computer device having a user interface and a processor. The user interface is configured to provide a gameboard comprising tiles supporting game objects. A pre-defined plurality of the tiles constitutes a segment of the gameboard supporting a group of game objects. The user interface is configured to detect user input when a user engages with a user activatable game element. The processor is configured to receive a detected user input, detect a match game condition of a plurality of adjacent game elements having matching characteristics, and, if the match condition is detected, remove the plurality of game elements and generate new game elements to replenish the gameboard. The processor is further configured to detect a segment condition associated with the segment, and, if detected, to replace the group of game objects of the segment with a replacement group of game objects.

  • Patent number: 11446577
    Abstract: A computer device is configured to provide a computer implemented game. A display of the computer device displays game elements on a game board. First and second types of game elements are provided. The second type of game elements are associated with an effect which when triggered causes an interaction with other game elements on the game board. At least one processor of the computer device determines that a plurality of game elements satisfy a match condition and that a first game element of the second type is triggered to provide the effect. When the first game element of the second type has been triggered a plurality of times, it is removed from the game board.
