A first appearance region for a first group is set at or near a center of a game stage. A second and a third appearance region for a second and a third group are set closer to respective end portions of the game stage than the first appearance region is. A character is caused to perform an action more advantageously in a game when the character is in a region rendered in a color relating to the group to which the character belongs than when the character is not in the region. It is determined that the first group is a winner in a game when a first condition is satisfied based on actions performed by the characters, and that the second and third groups are a winner in the game when a second condition is satisfied based on actions performed by the characters.

An information processing system includes a controller which receives an operation input of a user and an information processing unit which performs an information process based on the operation input received by the controller. The information processing unit includes a game progress unit which controls an own character in the virtual space based on the operation input of the user to draw the virtual space with the corresponding color of the own character and a battle determination unit which performs a battle determination based on a drawing state of a corresponding color of an enemy character, which is different from the corresponding color of the own character, to a virtual space and a drawing state of the corresponding color of the own character to the virtual space.

Systems and methods of controlling virtual characters based on color within a game space

An example of an information processing system causes a player object to exit a game stage at least when the player object satisfies an exit condition as a result of an attack by an enemy object. After the player object exits from the game stage, (a) when a first condition is satisfied, the information processing system returns the player object based on a designated position that is specified by a return input of a first type, which is a position in a first area of the game stage, and (b) when a second condition different from the first condition is satisfied, the information processing system returns the player object based on a designated position that is specified by a return input of a second type, which is a position of a movement target object arranged on the game stage.

A competitive game in which a user and an opponent participate is executed, and a rating based on a match record of the competitive game is stored. When an update condition that, after last update, the user wins the competitive game a predetermined number of times that is two or more or the user loses the competitive game a predetermined number of times that is two or more, is satisfied, a temporary change amount of a rating parameter is calculated on the basis of a match record of each competitive game until the update condition is satisfied this time after the last update. If the temporary change amount is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold, the temporary change amount is determined as a change amount of the rating parameter, and if the temporary change amount is less than the predetermined threshold, the threshold is determined as a change amount of the rating parameter, and the rating is updated.

In an example of an information processing system, in a case where a user character is present on an area in a first state on a wall surface, and while an input to an operation button is continued, the user character is caused to perform a preliminary action, and if at least the input to the operation button ends, the user character is moved to a boundary between the area in the first state and another area on the wall surface. If the user character reaches the boundary, the user character is caused to jump from the boundary.

Based on a user operation on an operation unit, an operation target is controlled in a virtual space, and it is determined whether or not the operation target is in a predetermined situation in the virtual space. Then, a vibration signal for vibrating a vibration unit is generated in accordance with the state of the operation target in the virtual space, and the vibration signal is generated by associating a plurality of types of vibrations with a plurality of states of the operation target. When it is determined that the operation target is in the predetermined situation, the vibration signal is generated so that regarding a first type of vibration among the plurality of types of vibrations, the vibration is weaker than in a case where it is not determined that the operation target is in the predetermined situation, or the vibration disappears.

An example information processing system includes a main body apparatus, a handheld console controller, and a wireless controller. The handheld console controller is configured to be unified with the main body apparatus. The wireless controller is configured to be wirelessly connected to the main body apparatus. The main body apparatus sets one of the handheld console controller and the wireless controller, a predetermined button of which has been pressed down, to 'active,' and performs a game process based on operation data from the activate controller.
