In an information processing system in which a plurality of terminals can communicate data through a server, a first terminal includes a question event processing portion which executes a question event to have a character displayed to a user who operates the first terminal and to output question information in association with the character, an answer acceptance portion which accepts input of answer information to the question information, and an answer transmission portion which transmits the answer information accepted by the answer acceptance portion to the server. A second terminal includes an answer reception portion which receives the answer information from the server and an answer event processing portion which executes an answer event to have a character displayed to a user who operates the second terminal based on the answer information received by the answer reception portion and to output the answer information in association with the character.

Information processing system capable of promoting communication between users, information processing apparatus, non-transitory storage medium encoded with computer readable program, and method of controlling information processing apparatus

An exemplary embodiment provides an information processing apparatus configured to be capable of communicating data with another information processing apparatus present within a prescribed range. The information processing apparatus includes a transmission and reception portion configured to receive information for communication from another information processing apparatus. The information for communication includes position information relating to an information processing apparatus which is a source of transmission of the information for communication. The information processing apparatus further includes a display portion. A display control module is configured to perform display processing based on a first distance calculated based on the position information relating to the information processing apparatus which is the source of transmission of the information for communication and position information relating to an apparatus including the display control module.

Information processing apparatus, method for displaying information, non-transitory storage medium encoded with computer readable program, and information processing system

An exemplary embodiment provides an information system, including a plurality of information processing apparatuses, each information processing apparatus capable of communicating data with one another within a prescribed range, and a server capable of communicating data with each information processing apparatus. Each information processing apparatus includes a character information transmission and reception module for transmitting to and receiving from another information processing apparatus, character information having identification information identifying one or more information processing apparatuses and parameter information which can be changed, a parameter change module for changing parameter information in the received character information, a server transmission module for transmitting the changed character information to the server, a server reception module for receiving character information corresponding to identification information of each information processing apparatus itself from the server, and a display control module for performing display processing based on parameter information in the character information received from the server.

A shooting game apparatus includes an LCD for displaying a target and an operating button for a player to perform an operation for shooting the target. For example, an enemy character is switched between an ineffective state in which it is never damaged even if an attack hits it, and an effective state in which it is damaged if an attack hits it. Different images are displayed depending on whether the target is in the ineffective state or in the effective state. In a case where the target is in the effective state, when a player character enters into a state of being continuously damaged because it is positioned an area where it receives continuous damage, for example, the target is switched into the ineffective state.

An information processing apparatus includes an LCD and a touch panel, for example. On the LCD, a plurality of operation items making up of a series of operating procedures by means of a touch panel are displayed, and a current operation item out of them is highlight. Whether or not the current operation item is executed is determined on the basis of coordinate data via the touch panel, and whether or not a state attained by execution of a previous operation item has not been maintained is determined. In a case that it is determined that the previous operation item has not been maintained, the display of the current operation item is changed to a normal manner.

A card game toy includes a master card as an other self of a player and a plurality of monster cards, and is used for a card game that a battle is played by placing own and opponent cards in a proper positions of a battle field. The master card includes a character display portion to display a character, an ability-reducing indication to indicate an ability to reduce the attack power from the opponent, and a card-hand-ability indication to indicate an ability to use a card hand. The monster card includes a character display region to display a character, a position indication indicative of whether of a forward type or backward type, a physical-power indication indicative of a physical-power of the monster, and an ability indication indicative of an ability of the monster.

Card game toy for use in a battle game

A card game apparatus includes a display to display a game scene. In the game scene, a first master display site and a second master display site are formed to respectively display therein a first master as the other self of a game player and a second master as the other self of an opponent. The game player is allowed to select a monster card from a card hand display site and present it to a monster card presenting site. Responsive to an instruction of attack with a monster card, an attack power of the monster card is compared with the HP of a designated second master or the monster presented in the monster card presenting site, thereby arithmetically determining a battle result.
