A log analysis system includes a first processor unit, a second processor unit, a third processor unit, and a fourth processor unit. The first processor unit normalizes the detection log acquired by an acquirer, allocating the detection log into predefined monitoring target units, and outputs the monitoring target units. The second processor unit appends common information based on a predefined rule to each of the monitoring target units of the detection log output from the first processor unit, arranges the monitoring target units into information granularities based on the content of the detection log and common information, and outputs the monitoring target units as analysis unit information. The third processor unit gathers the analysis unit information output from the second processor unit and setting detection target event candidates based on a predefined rule, and outputs the detection target event candidates and the determination results.

Log analysis system

The objective is to provide an image synthesis method, games machine, and information storage medium which make it easy for a player to learn operating sequences that cause a game character to perform various different actions. If a training mode in which a player can practice manipulations is selected and an attack of a game character,hits another game character,, a hit mark,is displayed at the hit location. In addition, a replay image is displayed if a replay creation condition is satisfied or if the player has performed a given manipulation. To enable the player to practice counterattacking, a game character manipulated by the computer initiates attacks at a constant timing.

Image synthesis method, games machine, and information storage medium

An information storage device stores number-of-times-played information, total-playing-time information, and game-setting information, so that this information is retained after a games machine has been switched off. A game computation section performs game computations on the basis of manipulation information from the manipulation section, game-setting information that is stored in the information storage device, and a given program. An image synthesis section synthesizes a game image on the basis of results of these game computations. When a power detection section detects that power has been turned on, a read section reads information from the information storage device, then an information updating section updates the number-of-times-played information and total-playing-time information each time the game is played and also updates the game-setting information when the number of times played or the like exceeds a given number. After a given period of time has elapsed, a new game character appears for the player to select.
