Symbol-Drawing Interface: Difference between revisions

A [[Video Game]] interface (or part of it) based on drawing symbols on the screen with your mouse or controller, usually to cast [[Functional Magic]].

 

 

* ''[[Black and White]]'' uses an interface where you perform miracles by drawing corresponding symbols on the ground.

* ''[[Myst]] V'' had you draw symbols on a special slate in order to command the strange creatures that inhabited the worlds you visited. Noted for being frustratingly buggy; it often took several tries for a symbol to be recognised, and it was easy to accidentally draw the symbol that would [[Game Breaker|take you to the end of the level]].

* [[In Universe]], non-[[Video Game]] example: In ''[[Simoun (Anime)|Simoun]]'', the Ri Maajons are graphical patterns drawn in the air with the eponymous aircraft's mystical gems, which, if drawn correctly, bring forth powerful magic.
