摘要:
When a game operation image is displayed on a touch panel of a portable terminal, the size of a game display screen and the operation image are small and therefore the progress of a game becomes difficult. Even in the case of a terminal having only a touch panel of a limited size, an operation image having a size that affects the progress of a game as little as possible is displayed on the touch panel by superimposing the operation image on a game display screen at a position that affects the progress of the game as little as possible.

Management of user-generated and context appropriate game play advice (510a-f, 610, 620) is disclosed. The present invention allows for management of context appropriate game play advice (510a-f, 610, 620) that is complete and up-to-date regardless of when a particular interactive gaming title is released. Game play advice (510a-f, 610, 620) is pervasive and easily accessible to game players in addition to being accurate and credible such that game players can trust or rely upon the rendered advice. The game play advice is displayed (270, 350, 470) in environmental contexts that are appropriate to the advice being displayed.

The generation, association, and display of in-game tags are disclosed. Such tags introduce an additional dimension of community participation to both single and multiplayer games. Through such tags, players are empowered to communicate through filtered text messages and images as well as audio clips that other game players, including top rated players, have generated and placed at particular coordinates and/or in context of particular events within the game space. The presently described in-game tags and associated user generated content further allow for label based searches with respect to game play.

The present invention is directed generally toward referencing objects in a virtual environment. One aspect of the invention is directed toward a computer-implemented method for referencing an object in a virtual environment that includes receiving a command from a user to designate an object and designating the object. The method can further include receiving a command from the user to associate selected information with the object and associating the selected information with the object. In certain aspects of the invention, designating the object can include associating a visual reference marking with the object. In other aspects of the invention, the user includes a first user and the method can further include allowing a visual reference marking associated with the object to be viewed by at least one second user and/or revealing the information associated with the object to the at least one second user.
摘要:
A device for generating a display in a virtual space consisting of a movable character which can be controlled by a player, segments which move under the control of a program and other segments depicting terrain features. The terrain features being constituted three-dimensionally. The device comprising first means for moving a cursor through operation by the player wherein the movement of the character is controlled by a cursor; second means for determining whether a character should fall down a sloped surface; third means for selecting, wherein the determination is made by the second means results in a fall of the character, a direction of the fall on the basis of conditions of the slope and a movement of the character just prior to the fall; fourth means for computing a fall endpoint; fifth means for computing the height differential of the fall in accordance with the height of the character prior to the fall and the height of the character after the fall is computed; sixth means for computing an amount of damage of the character with respect to the fall on the basis of the computed height differential; seventh means for decreasing the power of the character to reflect the amount of damage with respect to the fall;
