An optical element is provided includes an optical layer having a flat incident surface on which light is incident and a wavelength-selective reflective layer disposed in the optical layer. Of light incident on the incident surface at an incident angle (&#x3b8;, &#x3c6;), the optical element selectively directionally reflects light in at least one specific wavelength range in at least one direction other than a specular reflection direction (&#x2212;&#x3b8;, &#x3c6;+180&#xb0;) while transmitting light in at least one wavelength range other than the specific wavelength range, and is transparent to light in at least one wavelength range other than the specific wavelength range.

Optical element and method for producing the same

Wavelength selective optical element for reflecting light

The present invention has an object to permit change the progressing rate of time during a battle period in response to the skill and experience of the player in a game apparatus. The controller unit, upon detection of start of a battle between characters, changes the progressing rate of time during the battle period, from the progressing rate of time during a non-battle period in response to any of a plurality of pieces of rate information previously prepared for regulating the progressing rate of time during the battle period. The controller unit, the audio process unit and the graphics process unit adjust the executing timing of the character in response to the changed progressing rate of time during the battle period. As a result, when the progressing rate of time during the battle period is changed, it is possible to cause the character to execute an action in response to such a change.

Game apparatus, game controlling method and recording medium for use with battle video games

A game apparatus displays, in response to a manual input, a table of additional abilities, such as a magic art, possessed by an enemy character on a display screen that presents a fight fought between a player character and an enemy character, selects any additional ability from among the additional abilities, acquires the ability from the enemy character as a player character's own ability, and stocks the acquired additional ability for future use, or uses, on the spot, the acquired additional ability as the player character's own ability upon acquisition, in response to a manual input.

Game apparatus, game fight processing method, and computer readable storage medium storage program therefor

Disclosed in a video game of enhanced realism in which actual combat is closely simulated. The game is so adapted that an enemy character on a display screen may launch an attack against a player character on the same screen, even while the player character is in the process of inputting a command, at elapse of a set time period specific to the enemy character. The attack is made without an interruption in the flow of time of the game.
