An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display screen and a computing hardware. The computing hardware is operable to execute a software product, wherein executing the software product results in generating and rendering a graphical user interface on the display screen, the graphical user interface being configured to facilitate user interactions, the computing hardware, the software product and the graphical user interface being implemented on a gaming system, the gaming system comprising a game, wherein the software product, when executed on the computing hardware, is configured to present a first view on the graphical user interface, present one or more user-selectable graphical objects on the graphical user interface, detect a user's selection of one of the one or more of the user-selectable graphical objects to be deployed in the first view on the graphical user interface, detect a user's selection of a deploy point on the first view, and execute deployment of the one of the one or more of the user-selectable graphical objects to the first view of the graphical user interface, wherein other set of graphical objects emerge from the one or more user-selectable graphical object and enter to the first view from one or more areas in a proximity of the deploy point.

A non-transitory computer readable medium stores a program causing a computer to execute: determining an operation that is input from an operating section; causing a target object to execute a particular action both in the case where it is determined that a first operation is input and in the case where it is determined that a second operation that differs from the first operation is input; and causing the degree of disadvantage or the degree of advantage after the end of the particular action to differ between the case where the particular action is executed as a result of the first operation being input and the case where the particular action is executed as a result of the second operation being input.

An example game apparatus executes an opponent information screen process of generating an image of an opponent information screen showing an opponent character and an opponent additional character, and executes a player information screen process of generating an image of a player information screen showing a player character and an additional character selected as an own additional character added to the player character according to an operational input. The image of the opponent information screen contains an opponent character image of the opponent character, an opponent additional character image of the opponent additional character, an own icon image, and an own type icon image. The image of the player information screen contains a player character image of the player character, an own additional character image of the selected own additional character, the own type icon image, an opponent icon image, and an opponent type icon image.

The image of the player information screen contains a player character image of the player character, an own additional character image of the selected own additional character, the own type icon image, an opponent icon image, and an opponent type icon image.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores an image generation program to perform a method which includes, in a scene including a hit timing of an attack in a battle between characters in a game space, determining the hit timing, and a standard portion of a standard character and an opponent portion of an opponent character in the battle which are supposed to hit each other, from the standard character, the opponent character, and animation data; and generating an image of a scene by applying the amination data to at least one of the opponent character and an actual character while moving the position of the actual or opponent character to generate the scene where a portion of the actual character corresponding to the standard portion hits the opponent portion at the hit timing. The actual character has a skeleton model corresponding to that of the standard character.

An embodiment includes storage containing configuration and operational data related to a managed network, an action configurator application, and an action execution application. The embodiment also includes one or more processors configured to: receive, by way of the action configurator application, a specification of an action type; receive, by way of the action configurator application, a specification of an input source for actions generated using the action type; receive, by way of the action configurator application, a specification of one or more target users and an output modality for the actions; receive, by way of the action configurator application, a specification of a condition that causes the actions to be generated; determine, that the condition has been satisfied; and cause the action execution application to execute the action generator on the input source, and produce an output for one of the target users by way of the output modality.

In an exemplary embodiment, a player object is caused to perform a posturing action of holding an item object in an input direction of a first direction input. When a second direction input is performed during the posturing action, a first swinging action of swinging the item object in the direction is performed. Further, when a going-way direction input in which a displacement amount with respect to the origin of an operation device and not greater than a first value exceeds the first value, and a return-way direction input in which the displacement amount becomes not greater than a second value after the going-way direction input have been performed within a first time, a second swinging action of swinging the item object in at least one of the going-way direction and the return-way direction is performed.

Disclosed are a method and system for providing game, which enable a user to access other pieces of content in game while a continuous and automatic battle is ongoing by executing a sub-process for the continuous and automatic battle when a continuous and automatic battle function is activated on a main game screen provided by a main process and providing a continuous and automatic battle screen generated by the executed sub-process in parallel to the main game screen provided by the main process.
