The method finds application in playing on personal computer (5) by a user connected by means of a network (2) to a server (3). It forms displacing speed of displaceable images. Two random numbers are introduced in a software. A means for affecting the speed of the images by users is embodied in such a way that it provides only two states of control signals affecting the speed. Each said state of ...

The present stick is comprised of first and second tubes telescopically connected together. The tubes are biased away from each other by a coaxial coil spring. A shaft is positioned within the first tube, and is biased outwardly from an outer end of the first tube by another coaxial coil spring. A cam is attached to an inner end of the shaft. Holes are arranged on the first tube adjacent the cam. ...
