Abstract:
There is provided a game system capable of enhancing the pleasure of the game by improving elements which exert influence upon the selection of a character action. In a system including a display apparatus, an input apparatus, and a game control apparatus for displaying a plurality of characters including at least one character (111) set as operation objects of the player on a game screen (110), and causing respective characters to take action in accordance with a predetermined program while referring to the output signal of the input apparatus, counting synchronized to the progress of a game is conducted by counting devices provided so as to be respectively associated with the characters of operation objects. Upon arrival of a count value of one of the counting devices at a predetermined value, processing required to make a character (111) of the operation object take action is executed in response to directions given from the player via the input apparatus. Upon start of action of the character made by that processing, a count value of the counting device is decreased by a value depending on a kind of the started action.
Abstract:
A user interface suited for use on mobile devices for entering characters which may require one or more modifiers is disclosed. The interface may be implemented utilizing a touch screen interface on which a user engages the interface, is provided feedback, and removes the user's touch to enter a character. The interface presents a series of main, supplemental and modifier keys. Touching an interface button or main key presents a series of “petals” or supplemental keys emanating from the main key. Each petal or supplemental key may in turn present one or more sub petals or modifier keys emanating from the supplemental key. Each petal or sub-petal may represent another character or a modifier action. The characters and/or actions on the supplemental keys and modifier keys provide options for characters or modifiers which are dependent or related to the main input key.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer media for selecting characters through touchscreen input are provided. A user selection of a first character, such as a Japanese kana character, displayed on a touchscreen is received. A plurality of additional characters syllabically related to the first character are identified. A presentation order of the plurality of additional characters is identified. In response to receiving the user selection of the first character, at least a first and a second additional character from the plurality of syllabically related additional characters are displayed. The first additional character is displayed adjacent to the first character, and the second additional character is displayed adjacent to the first additional character. The displayed first and second additional characters are selectable by a user touch input.
Abstract:
A game system in which a plurality of characters are each respectively made to act in dependence on a schedule prescribed in correspondence to a time of a game, at a time point the game has progressed to an end point of a loop range, if a predetermined progress permission condition is met, there is permitted progress of the game ahead of the loop range. If the progress permission condition is not met, the time on the game is made to a start point of the loop range. At this time, exceptional information as part including information associated with an experience on the game by a character as an operation object is maintained in a state attained at the end point of the range, having other information restored in a state corresponding to a start point.

Abstract:
A first image producing program perspectively transforms each polygon in a virtual space onto a plane on the basis of a view position in order to produce a first image, and a second image producing program deteriorates a quality of the first image to produce the second image having the same size as the first image. A synthetic image producing program produces a display image with combination of the first and second images by applying semi-transparentizing processing to at least one of both first and second images so that each polygon of the first image can be displayed around a depth position of a gaze position and each polygon of the second image can be displayed as the polygon approaches at least one side of both front and rear sides concerning the gaze point.
