Abstract

The present invention relates to a system, processes and apparatus for an image creation game. The system of the present invention is made up of processing arrangements executed by software which provides for the formation of spaces, and the creation of objects within those spaces, on a graphical user interface Playing Field display. The apparatus includes the graphical user interface Playing Field display, player input device(s) and software interpretation hardware such as a computer or other programmable device, to enable a player to interact with the gaming processes.

Claims

1. A computer game apparatus including:

a) a programmable device that executes game instructions;

b) a visual display that enables a Playing Field and visual Attributes of graphical elements of the game to be viewed;

c) a Cursor manipulator that enables movement and Attributes of a Cursor and other said graphical elements of the game to be manipulated by a player;

d) one or more speakers that enable sound Attributes of said graphical elements to be transformed into audible sound; and

e) a game process that enables the strategic assembly of a subtype of said graphical elements known as Particles to create;
