An object of the present invention is to improve a sensation of piquant pungency of a packaged alcoholic beverage without a significant effect on the aroma of the beverage. By adding from 1.0 to 50 ppm ofsaponin to an alcoholic beverage with an alcohol content of from 1 to 9.5 v/v %, a sensation of alcohol pungency in a packaged alcoholic beverage can be reduced.

Containerized alcoholic beverage

A first game in which at least a use character that can be used regardless of whether the use character is owned or not owned by a user is used is executed. In addition, a second game in which an owned character that is owned by the user is used is executed. In the first game, when a game is advanced on the basis of a user operation and a progress status of the game satisfies a first condition associated with a skill of the use character, the skill is exercised. Meanwhile, in the second game, when a game is advanced on the basis of a user operation and a progress status of the game satisfies a condition that is associated with a skill of the owned character and different from the first condition associated with the skill in the first game, the skill is exercised.

Non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having game program stored therein, game system, game processing method, and game apparatus

The information processing apparatus comprises: a movement possibility determination unit that determines whether there is a target position to which the operable object can move between the current position of the operable object and the designated position; an object movement unit that removes the restriction on movement of the operable object to move the operable object to the target position on the condition that the target position is determined; and a rendering information generation unit that generates rendering information having a different screen effects between that in the case where the non-operable object exists between the current position and the designated position and the case where the non-operable object does not exist between the current position and the designated position.

Systems and methods of rendering screen effects for movement of objects in a virtual area

An information processing system that performs puzzle game processing for a puzzle game played against each other by a plurality of users includes designating a game element with which first and second parameters are associated for each of a plurality of users, performing puzzle game processing based on an operation by each user onto a puzzle object arranged in a game field, and executing, when a status of progress of the puzzle game processing for one of the plurality of users satisfies an offense condition while the puzzle game processing is being performed, an offense event that produces an effect of interference in the game field in the puzzle game processing for the other user.

Information processing system and information processing apparatus that allow diversified game development, method of controlling information processing system, and information processing program in puzzle game using defensive and offensive paramaters

A first information processing apparatus includes a first message acceptance unit which accepts input of a first message and a first message transmission unit which transmits the accepted first message and first character information to a server. A second information processing apparatus includes a second message acceptance unit which accepts input of a second message and a second message transmission unit which transmits the accepted second message and second character information to the server. The first information processing apparatus further includes a representation output unit which has a display unit display in chronological order, the first message brought in correspondence with a first character based on the first character information and the second message brought in correspondence with a second character based on the second character information obtained through the server and a reproduction output unit which provides audio output of the first message and the second message.

A sterilization apparatus characterized in that the sterilization apparatus comprises a reactive oxygen species irradiation unit for irradiating a reactive oxygen species-containing gas which is a reaction product of plasma generated using an alternating current and a water-containing gas containing steam, the sterilization apparatus further containing an inlet unit for steam flow for supplying the water-containing gas heated to a temperature of from 50&#xb0; to 300&#xb0; C., wherein the reactive oxygen species-containing gas contains water in an amount equal to or greater than the amount of saturated steam. The sterilization apparatus of the present invention shows excellent sterilization activity, so that it can be suitably used in sterilization of containers for foodstuff, bottle caps sealing the openings of the containers, medical devices, foodstuff such as vegetables and meat, and the like.

Sterilization apparatus

In a sterilizing system, a sterilizing device receives supply of oxygen and steam. The sterilizing device produces oxygen plasma containing ozone from the supplied oxygen and discharges the produced oxygen plasma and reactive oxygen produced through reaction between the supplied steam and the oxygen plasma as a sterilizing agent. And, the sterilizing system includes an ozone collecting unit for collecting ozone contained in the discharged oxygen plasma.

Sterilizing system

A player character appearing in a virtual game world is caused to perform actions in accordance with operation data. Based on the actions performed by the player character, operation tendency data, which indicates a tendency in operations performed by a player operating the player character, is generated, and a group of image data and the operation tendency data of the player character is stored. Then, an image of a non-player character indicated by the stored image data is displayed on a display device in accordance with the image data. An action of the non-player character in a virtual game world is controlled in accordance with the stored operation tendency data.

Game apparatus and storage medium storing game program

An information processing apparatus has a pointing device for designating a position of an arbitrary point with respect to a reference point O, and a processor of the information processing apparatus detects a position of the point designated by the pointing device with respect to the reference point O at every unit of time, and calculates an operation vector AB respectively regarding a point A and a point B detected before and after as a starting point and an ending point. The calculated operation vector AB is orthogonally-projected onto a strait line vertical to a vector OA respectively regarding the reference point O and the point A as a starting point and an ending point. Information processing is performed on the basis of a component vector thus obtained from the operation vector AB.

Information processing program and information processing apparatus

For operating an operation target object displayed on a screen using a pointing device, a first input coordinate value indicating a position on the screen designated by the pointing device and a second input coordinate value detected discretely from, and before, the first input coordinate value are detected. A changing direction is calculated based on the first input coordinate value and the second input coordinate value, and a rotation direction is determined based on the changing direction. The operation target object is rotated in the rotation direction.

Image processing apparatus, storage medium having image processing program stored thereon, game apparatus and storage medium having game program stored thereon

A game apparatus includes a CPU core. The CPU core firstly displays a field defined by a first side and a second side and shows a fixed block in the field. Then, the CPU core executes a player game process using the fixed block in response to a player's input operation, and displaces the fixed block in a direction of moving from the first side toward the second side based on result of the execution. The CPU core also executes an opponent game process and displaces the fixed block in a direction of moving from the second side toward the first side based on result of the execution. In addition, the CPU core determines whether the fixed block has reached the first section or not, and if result of the determination is affirmative, it executes a player defeat process. Moreover, the CPU core determines whether the fixed block has reached the second section or not, and if result of the determination is affirmative, it executes a player victory process.
