The image generating program makes the image generating device perform: setting a number of increase or decrease objects in at least one of a plurality of regions on a field having the plurality of regions divided from each other and connected to each other; generating a display image including a display corresponding to the field and the set number of increase or decrease objects; generating the display image in which an increase or decrease number corresponding to a selected level is set in the region within a predetermined area; generating the display image in which the number of increase or decrease objects is increased or decreased on a basis of the set increase or decrease number; and ending the stage when the number of increase or decrease objects set in each of the regions becomes a predetermined value as a result of the increase or decrease.

A task management system includes a game terminal and a server. The game terminal acknowledges user designation of whether positional information indicating a position arbitrarily designated by a user on a map of a scale displayed on the terminal or positional information indicating the current position of the terminal should be added to data that should be stored in the server along with the positional information. The game terminal transmits the data to which user designated positional information is added to the server. The server stores the data transmitted from the game terminal along with the positional information.

A user information management unit of a terminal generates a management number for respective users. A terminal to terminal communication unit communicates with another terminal through ad hoc communication, acquires a unique user ID set for the other user, and stores the user ID in a friend information storing unit. The data generated in a data generation unit is transmitted to a server from a sending unit along with a destination user ID selected from user IDs stored in a friend information storing unit. A reception unit in the server stores the transmitted data in a data storing unit for each destination user ID. When the server receives a connection request from a terminal, a connecting user information acquisition unit in the server identifies a user ID of a connection origin and a data retrieving unit transmits the data to the terminal by retrieving a data storing unit based on the user ID, indicating the user requested for the connection as a destination.

It is intended to display, in a 3D-CG animation, a high-quality background image that is free of distortion due to a pan of a viewing camera. Pre-rendering images of three-dimensional background scenes are mapped over the inside surfaces of respective virtual spheres and , and viewing cameras and are defined at the centers of the respective virtual spheres and . When a three-dimensional model of a movable object such as a character model enters one of the virtual spheres, a region clipped by the pyramidal visual field of the viewing camera located at the center of the virtual sphere is projected onto a display screen.

Disclosed is a method of making a huge elongated space of square or rectangular cross section under the ground. The outer shell of the huge elongated space is built in the form of integral arrangement of lateral shell-units having shielded passages therein. Such a huge underground space can be made without requiring any large-scale equipments on the ground. The huge outer shell can be made with accuracy and efficiency by skiving and jointing adjacent parallel lateral shell-units and by using selected lateral passage of shell-units to discharge the soil or mud removed in making the underground space.
