Abstract:
The invention is the computer game software, article of manufacture, and related system for generating swinging-chain-like behavior in the image of loosely connected objects consequent to applying a force upon one of the objects. The specific embodiment illustrates its application in a computer-based solitaire game, wherein the player in moving a pile of cards from one column to another drags the top card by cursor, which causes the connected (overlapping) cards aligned underneath to follow not as a single object, but a loose chain that swings and sways when the top card is dragged and which continues its oscillation momentarily after the player has finished dragging the top card.
