Abstract

A method of playing the game includes initiating playing of the game either by a user or the terminal device (22) communicating through the communication medium (14) to the game engine or the engine communicating by the communication medium initiating playing of the game to the user; after initiating playing of the game, the game engine provides through the communication medium to the display (24) a display providing the user with an identification of the game object; after the identification of the game object, the game engine plays the game involving the game object, for a period of time without a requirement for input from the user to the game engine, causing the game object to participate in an event created by running in the game engine; and the game engine communicates through the communication medium to the terminal device a message including information influenced by the game object's participation in the event.
