A computer is caused to execute: acquiring the log; generating a natural sentence based on the acquired log; and generating story content to be appreciated by a user by arranging the generated natural sentence and one or a plurality of game-related contents that are related to the log.

Medium, information processing apparatus, and method for generating a natural sentence

A style transfer program causes a server to implement an acquisition function of acquiring buffer data from a buffer used for rendering, a style transfer function of applying style transfer based on one or more style images to the buffer data, and an output function of outputting data after the style transfer is applied.

Style transfer program and style transfer method

A plan processing program for planning a task executed by a character based on a hierarchical task network causes a server to implement a plan generation function of generating a plan configured with a plurality of tasks from a domain based on goal information, in which in the plan generation function, a function of generating the plan in which a subsequent task to be employed is configured to change in accordance with a state or a condition is implemented.

Non-transitory computer readable medium storing plan processing program and task processing system

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including a video game processing program for causing a server to select an action regarding an object of a character on a basis of predetermined selection criteria is provided. At least one usage purpose is set to the object as an action. The functions include: an extracting function configured to extract a similar object similar to a new object among selection criterion stored object, the character having already stored selection criteria for each selection criterion stored objects; and an inheriting function configured to set a selection probability of each action in the selection criteria stored so as to be associated with the new object based on a selection probability of each action in the selection criteria stored so as to be associated with the similar object with respect to at least actions set in common between the similar and new objects.

Non-transitory computer-readable medium and video game processing system

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including a video game processing program for causing a server to perform functions to control a character in progress of a video game is provided. The functions includes: a utilization permitting function configured to permit utilization of object property information for controlling the character, a property of an object being expressed in the object property information, the property of the object being stored in a specific storage region associated with the object as a first storage region; and an information utilizing function configured to utilize the object property information, whose utilization is permitted, for controlling the character.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including a face authentication program for causing a computer device that executes face authentication using a plurality of face information registered in a storage unit with respect to a captured face image of a user to implement the following functions including a determination function of determining face information to be used for the face authentication from among the plurality of face information based on position estimation information of a user corresponding to each of the plurality of face information, which is registered in the storage unit in association with each of the plurality of face information, and a predetermined condition, and an authentication function of performing the face authentication using the determined face information with respect to the captured face image of the user.

Non-transitory computer-readable medium and face authentication system including face authentication program

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including a video game processing program for causing a server to perform functions regarding a search of a moving route in a virtual space is provided. The functions includes: a setting function configured to set a navigation mesh corresponding to a movable area of an object in a virtual space; an arranging function configured to arrange a plurality of waypoints on the set navigation mesh in accordance with a predetermined arrangement rule; a generating function configured to generate a plurality of regions by grouping the plurality of waypoints arranged in the virtual space based on a predetermined classification rule; a determining function configured to determine movable regions based on arrangement of the plurality of regions thus generated; and a searching function configured to search a moving route of the object based on the waypoints included in the determined movable regions.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including a video game processing program is provided. The video game processing program causes a server to: extract tasks from a domain including at least one compound task, methods being set to each of the at least one compound task; determine tasks to be executed from the tasks in addition to an execution order thereof, and generate the plan; control an action of the character on a basis of the plan; and exclude, when the task is a compound task to which methods are set in a situation that the character fails the task in a middle of the plan, a failed method from a selection target, and execute partial replanning to obtain a partial modification plan. The action of the character is controlled on a basis of the partial modification plan in a case where the partial modification plan is obtained.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including a video game processing program for causing a server to perform functions regarding a search of a moving route in a virtual space is provided. The functions include a setting function, an arranging function, a thinning function, and a searching function. The setting function is configured to set a navigation mesh corresponding to a movable area of an object in a virtual space. The arranging function is configured to arrange a plurality of waypoints on the set navigation mesh in accordance with a predetermined arrangement rule. The thinning function is configured to thin out some waypoints, which are selected in accordance with a predetermined selection rule, from the plurality of waypoints thus arranged. The searching function is configured to search a moving route of the object on a basis of arrangement of the plurality of thinned waypoints.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including a video game processing program is provided. The video game processing program causes a server to: set regions by grouping movable areas of a character in a virtual space; set a value to each region; propagate each belonging parameter to any adjacent region of the corresponding region so that an absolute value of the belonging parameter decreases and set the belonging parameter after decrease to the corresponding region in a case Where any other belonging parameter has not been set thereto yet; and calculate a sum of absolute values of two different belonging parameters in a region at which a moving number of regions from each region is substantially equal to each other or a boundary of the region, and set the region, the boundary of the region, or regions adjacent to the boundary of the region as an indicator portion.

When one node, from nodes included in either a finite state machine including a node to which a state of a character is assigned or a behavior tree including a node to which action content of a character is assigned, is designated in accordance with a user operation, a screen, that is for querying a user as to which of a finite state machine and a behavior tree to assign to the one node, is caused to be displayed on a display screen. One from the finite state machine and the behavior tree that is selected in accordance with a user operation is assigned to the one node.
