Abstract
In one example, a method includes outputting, at a first location of a presence-sensitive display of a computing device, a first graphical object and receiving an indication of a first touch gesture detected at a second location of the presence-sensitive display. The method may further include, in response to receiving the indication of the first touch gesture, outputting, at the second location, a second graphical object and receiving an indication of a second touch gesture originating within a predetermined distance of the second location and moving towards the first location. The method may further include outputting movement of the second graphical object into contact with the first graphical object. The method may also include, in response to outputting movement of the second graphical object into contact with the first graphical object, outputting at a third location, the first graphical object that is a determined distance away from the first location.
