An information processing device for executing a game in which a new quest can be executed based on an update that adds the new quest to an existing quest, and a new content becomes usable based on an update that adds the new content to an existing content, includes: a decision means for deciding a used content to be used in one quest, which is the existing quest, from contents associated with a player; an execution means for executing the one quest based on a parameter of the used content; and a granting means for granting a reward to the player in response to satisfying a clearance condition in the executed one quest. The granting means prioritizes the reward when a usable time of the used content is earlier than a specific time stored in association with the one quest.

Execution of a first game is started at the same start timing as those of opponents. In the first game, a player object is controlled on the basis of the player's operation, and second game data regarding the game states of second games for the opponents are acquired. Further, first game data regarding the game state of the first game is transmitted to the opponents. In the first game, a first obstructing object for obstructing advancement of the first game appears on the basis of a predetermined rule. Further, if the second game data indicates that the opponent has successfully performed a predetermined action on the first obstructing object appearing in the second game, a second obstructing object is caused to appear in the first game.

A computer readable recording medium storing a program that is executed by a processor. The program causes the processor to acquire touch position information on a touch panel, identify a first position based on the touch position information, if the touch position is in a first input region for receiving an input instruction in a first operation direction in a touch period during which continuous touching of the touch panel is carried out, and the touch position satisfies a first condition, identify a second position based on the touch position information, if the touch position is in a second input region for receiving an input of an instruction in a second operation direction in the touch period, and the touch position satisfies a second condition, and determine positions of the first input region and the second input region, based on the first position and the second position.

A game control device includes a processing module, at least one button, a signal transceiving module, a time pulse generation module, and a communication module, which are electrically connected to the processing module. When the button is pressed, the processing module generates a corresponding button code, and uses the current clocking time as absolute pressing time, and generates a button packet including a button code and a pressing time. The processing module sends the button packet via the communication module. A game system includes a server and a plurality of hosts, which are connected through the Internet. The hosts are connected to the abovementioned game control devices respectively. Each host receives the button packet sent from each game control device, and sends the button packet to the server. The server determines the press order of the each button according to the absolute pressing time in the received button packet.

A computer is caused to: manage an item possessed by a player or a player character; and manage a state of a game task an achievement condition of which is that the item is handed over to a non-player character in the game and which is set so as to be associated with each non-player character; and switch a state of the game between a first mode and a second mode, based on a switching input. In the first mode, while the game is played, the computer is caused to achieve a game task, under a condition that the number of the items possessed is changed by a first change amount, based on an operation input by the player. In the second mode, even while the game is not played by the player, the computer is caused to achieve the game task without changing the number of the items possessed.

A computing system is provided. The computing system includes a server having one or more processors configured to receive from a user computing device run-time telemetry data, the run-time telemetry data being recorded during execution of a target program of a plurality of programs by the user computing device and being indicative of communication between the user computing device and a user input device. The one or more processors are further configured to determine a performance metric based on the run-time telemetry data, determine an updated driver parameter for the target program based on the determined performance metric, send the updated driver parameter to the user computing device, and apply the updated driver parameter for use during a subsequent execution of the target program.
