Abstract

An apparatus and a method for game control. A graphical user interface is generated and displayed on a display screen. The graphical user interface presents at least one user-controllable object and at least one target object. A user is enabled to provide a user input to control a movement of the at least one user-controllable object within the graphical user interface. A predetermined area is identified around the at least one user-controllable object in the graphical user interface. It is detected whether or not the at least one target object lies within the predetermined area in the graphical user interface. If it is detected that the at least one target object lies within the predetermined area, an action is executed on the at least one target object from the at least one user-controllable object.
