It is an object of the invention to provide a character string display system, a character string display method, and a storage medium that can determine a display time according to character string display times in the past to thereby determine a display time corresponding to speed of reading and understanding a character string of an individual who reads the character string. The character string display system is characterized by including: a display time determining unit for determining a display time for a display character string on the basis of a reference value; a display unit for displaying the display character string for the display time determined by the display time determining unit; an operation unit for detecting predetermined operation performed by an operator while the display unit displays the display character string; and a reference value changing unit that, when the operation unit detects operation of the operator, extends or reduces a time, during which the display unit displays the display character string, and changes the reference value according to the extension or the reduction of the time for displaying the display character string.

Character string display system, character string display method, and storage medium

To provide a game system that enables a degree of difficulty of an occurrence of a predetermined game event to be changed depending on a degree of proficiency of a player in a game in which the predetermined event is made to occur when a controller is operated according to specific procedures. The present invention relates to a game system including one or more controllers. In the game system, a determining unit () determines whether or not a criterion operation data string has been inputted from the controller, a game event generation unit () generates a predetermined game event according to a result of the determination made by the determining unit (), and the determining unit () changes the criterion operation data string based on a result of a past determination on at least one of the one or more controllers.

To provide a game system that enables a degree of difficulty of an occurrence of a predetermined game event to be changed depending on a degree of proficiency of a player in a game in which the predetermined event is made to occur when a controller is operated according to specific procedures. The present invention relates to a game system including one or more controllers. In the game system, a determining unit () determines whether or not a criterion operation data string has been inputted from the controller within a determination target period, a game event generation unit () generates a predetermined game event according to a result of the determination made by the determining unit (), and the determining unit () changes a length of the determination target period based on a result of a past determination on at least one of the one or more controllers.

A message string output system which can prevent users from feeling uncomfortable due to repeated input of a particular string by another user is provided. A judging unit () judges whether or not a message string which is input by an input unit () contains a specific string. An input status information updating unit () updates, based on a judgment result by the judging unit (), input status information stored in an input status information storage () in corresponding to user identification information corresponding to the message string. An output form determining unit () determines an output form of a specific string part contained in the message string based on the input status information stored in correspondence with the user identification information corresponding to the message string.

Message character string output system, control method thereof, and information storage medium

A string display system for displaying display target strings includes a storage unitthat correlates and stores detection target strings and display numbers, a display time determination unitthat provisionally determines display times of the display target strings, and a detection unitthat detects the detection target strings included in the display target strings. The display time determination unitconducts processing where, when the detection target strings are detected, the display numbers of the detection target strings are read from the storage unit, and the display times of the display target strings are shortened in accordance with the read display numbers. The string display system further includes a display unitthat displays the display target strings over the shortened display times of the display target strings.
