A type of attack against an enemy character may be determined based at least on a graphical shape of an input trajectory. An effectiveness of attack against the enemy character may be determined at least based on the size of the graphical shape of the input trajectory. Damage caused by attack to the enemy character may be determined based at least on the style and effectiveness of attack.
