  • Publication number: 20200004487
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium including a program for moving objects makes it possible, even when movement objects are moved over other objects, to see these other objects. All first movement objects and second movement objects move in a horizontal direction in response to a horizontal swipe operation, but fixed objects are displayed when the movement objects overlap the fixed objects because the fixed objects are arranged in a layer that is higher than the one that the first movement objects and the second movement objects are in. All the second movement objects located on a vertical-direction side of a vertical swipe operation start point move in a vertical direction in response to a vertical swipe operation, but the first movement objects are displayed when the second movement objects overlap the first movement objects because the first movement objects are arranged in a layer that is higher than the one that the second movement objects are in.
