ABSTRACT:
Composing an image with fragments. The fragments of an image are downloaded from a server. The fragments are displayed in an initial configuration within the image. One of the fragments located at one of the positions within the image is then selected. The selected fragment is then moved to a second position within the image which has defined characteristics. The selected fragment is then visually altered to conform to the defined characteristics of the second position. The visual alteration may include altering the size or the aspect ratio or both of the fragments to conform to the defined characteristics of the respective positions, such as a positions within a grid, or altering the size or orientation or both of the fragments to conform to the defined characteristics of their respective positions, such as C-shaped fragments arranged radially around a center of the image. After the appearance of the selected fragment is altered, a new configuration of the image fragments may be displayed. A determination may also be made to determine whether the new configuration of the fragments correctly represents the image. If the new configuration does not correctly represent the image, then another fragment may be selected and the above process may be repeated. However, if the new configuration correctly represents the image, a timestamp may be uploaded to the server. In response to the timestamp, a score may then be downloaded from the server.
