Supercell filed 1 patent application in the UI/UX category.
The filing covers a multi-touch interface for gaming that allows players to deploy multiple in-game resources at once through a hold and swipe gesture on a touchscreen. The patent describes technology where the duration of the touch gesture controls the quantity of resources spawned during gameplay.
The single UI/UX patent tackles the problem of repetitive tapping in mobile strategy games by introducing a gesture system that combines multi-touch input with time-based scaling. Players can drag their finger across the screen to place game resources at several locations in one motion, and the longer they hold their finger down, the more units appear at each point. This approach condenses what would normally require multiple separate taps into a single fluid interaction, allowing for faster deployment decisions during gameplay.
