A network game system includes a substitution management portion that, when a mid-competition player requests to substitute that player's game operations to a spectator, performs management of a substitution process in which the terminal device of that player is set as a spectating terminal, and the terminal device of the spectator is set as a competing terminal, wherein the spectator who has been substituted for that player by the substitution management portion executes the game operations of that player by operating the terminal device of the spectator.

Game system, game system control method, and recording medium

A game device which executes a baseball game where a batter character hits a ball object that is pitched by a pitcher character stores, for each batter character, first evaluation information showing an evaluation of battering power in each segment showing a region within a strike zone, and displays the region of the strike zone corresponding to respective segments after increasing transparency, as divergence from the first reference data of the first evaluation information increases, based on the first evaluation information of the batter character at bat.

Game device, recording medium and game control method

A first power property setting unit will set a first power property to a moving object. A power status display unit will display the power status of the moving object, which is defined based on the first power property, in an estimated passage position in an estimated passage display area. A rotational property setting unit will set a rotational property to the moving object which is dispatched from a character. A second power property setting unit will set a second power property to the moving object. A rotational status display unit will continuously display the rotational status of the moving object, which is defined based on the rotational property, in the estimated passage position.

Game program, game device, and game method

According to the present invention, there is provided a liquid crystal panel frame used for a liquid crystal display which comprises a pair of opposed substrates, a pair of electrodes formed on each of those substrates, a plurality of rectilinear barrier members provided at predetermined intervals between both substrates and an orientation film formed on said substrates and being subjected to a rubbing process. Each barrier member extends in substantially parallel to the rubbing direction. By adhering each barrier member to the substrate opposed thereto, a plurality of narrowly partitioned rectilinear spaces in which portions other than an aperture formed at the end portion thereof through which the liquid crystal passes are sealed against liquid. Ferroelectric or anti-ferroelectric liquid crystals are encapsulated into each of those rectilinear spaces to form a liquid crystal panel assembly. After the encapsulated liquid crystal is held to a high temperature, that liquid crystal panel assembly is sequentially cooled down from one end of the rectilinear space toward the other end thereof under the condition in which the temperature gradient is kept appearing along the rubbing direction, to thereby obtain a defect-free orientated chiral smectic phase in the liquid crystal.

In apparatus for measuring the propagation time of ultrasonic waves by counting the number of clock pulses occurring within the period of time from the transmission of an ultrasonic pulse to the receiving of the pulse, a receiving circuit receives a transmitted pulse and a received pulse and provides an output which continues from transmission until reception of the pulse. A time-difference detection circuit detects pulses occurring during a time interval t.sub.1 starting at the leading edge of the transmission pulse and ending at the leading edge of the first clock pulse thereafter and a time interval t.sub.2 starting at the leading edge of the received pulse and ending at the leading edge of the first clock pulse thereafter. The duration of the time interval t between transmission and reception is determined in accordance with the equation
