Abstract
An example of a computer of an information processing apparatus causes a display device to display, in a scrollable manner, a part of an item group image which includes a plurality of items arranged in an order. The computer causes the display device to display a scrollbar including a knob that indicates the part, of the item group image, which is displayed on the display device, and a track area in which the knob is movable. The computer causes a marker to be displayed in association with the scrollbar.
Claims16
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a game program stored therein, the game program comprising instructions that cause the computer to execute:
- displaying a part of an item group image on a display device in a scrollable manner, the item group image including a plurality of items arranged in an order, each of the plurality of items is assigned to one category among a plurality of categories;
- displaying a scrollbar on the display device, the scrollbar including a knob corresponding to a displayed part of the item group image, and a track area in which the knob is movable, wherein the displayed part indicated by a position of the knob is displayed on the display device, wherein, in the item group image, items assigned to the same category out of the plurality of categories are collectively arranged;
- displaying at least one marker in association with the scrollbar, wherein a position of the at least one marker indicates a part of the item group image, wherein each of the at least one markers is associated with at least one of the plurality of categories and displayed at a position of the corresponding at least one of the plurality of categories;
- setting different display forms for each of the least one markers based on whether one or more items within the corresponding at least one of the plurality of categories satisfies a corresponding condition as to whether a process corresponding to the item can be executed;
- receiving an instruction from a user to specify one of the plurality of items;
- and
- dynamically changing, after specification of the one of the plurality of items, the display form of the marker corresponding with the specified one of the plurality of items based on the one of the plurality of items no longer satisfying the corresponding condition as to whether the process corresponding to the item can be executed,
- wherein each of the plurality of items is associated with an item point value and satisfaction of the corresponding condition includes having the item point value for the associated item be less than or equal to a total number of points that are associated with the user.
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors being configured to:
- display a part of an item group image on a display device in a scrollable manner, the item group image including a plurality of items arranged in an order, each of the plurality of items is assigned to one category among a plurality of categories;
- display a scrollbar on the display device, the scrollbar including a knob corresponding to a displayed part of the item group image, and a track area in which the knob is movable, wherein the displayed part indicated by a position of the knob is displayed on the display device, wherein, in the item group image, items assigned to the same category out of the plurality of categories are collectively arranged;
- display at least one marker in association with the scrollbar, wherein a position of the at least one marker indicates a part of the item group image, wherein each of the at least one markers is associated with at least one of the plurality of categories and displayed at a position of the corresponding at least one of the plurality of categories;
- set different display forms for each of the least one markers based on whether one or more items within the corresponding at least one of the plurality of categories satisfies a corresponding condition as to whether a process corresponding to the item can be executed;
- receive an instruction from a user to specify one of the plurality of items;
- and
- dynamically change, after specification of the one of the plurality of items, the display form of the marker corresponding with the specified one of the plurality of items based on the one of the plurality of items no longer satisfying the corresponding condition as to whether the process corresponding to the item can be executed,
- wherein each of the plurality of items is associated with an item point value and satisfaction of the corresponding condition includes having the item point value for the associated item be less than or equal to a total number of points that are associated with the user.
An information processing system comprising:
- one or more processors being configured to:
- display a part of an item group image on a display device in a scrollable manner, the item group image including a plurality of items arranged in an order, each of the plurality of items is assigned to one category among a plurality of categories;
- display a scrollbar on the display device, the scrollbar including a knob corresponding to a displayed part of the item group image, and a track area in which the knob is movable, wherein the displayed part indicated by a position of the knob is displayed on the display device, wherein, in the item group image, items assigned to the same category out of the plurality of categories are collectively arranged;
- display at least one marker in association with the scrollbar, wherein a position of the at least one marker indicates a part of the item group image, wherein each of the at least one markers is associated with at least one of the plurality of categories and displayed at a position of the corresponding at least one of the plurality of categories;
- set different display forms for each of the least one markers based on whether one or more items within the corresponding at least one of the plurality of categories satisfies a corresponding condition as to whether a process corresponding to the item can be executed;
- receive an instruction from a user to specify one of the plurality of items;
- and
- dynamically change, after specification of the one of the plurality of items, the display form of the marker corresponding with the specified one of the plurality of items based on the one of the plurality of items no longer satisfying the corresponding condition as to whether the process corresponding to the item can be executed,
- wherein each of the plurality of items is associated with an item point value and satisfaction of the corresponding condition includes having the item point value for the associated item be less than or equal to a total number of points that are associated with the user.
A game processing method executed in an information processing system, the game processing method comprising:
- displaying a part of an item group image on a display device in a scrollable manner, the item group image including a plurality of items arranged in an order, each of the plurality of items is assigned to one category among a plurality of categories;
- displaying at least one scrollbar on the display device, the scrollbar including a knob corresponding to a displayed part of the item group image, and a track area in which the knob is movable, wherein the displayed part indicated by a position of the knob is displayed on the display device, wherein, in the item group image, items assigned to the same category out of the plurality of categories are collectively arranged;
- displaying a marker in association with the scrollbar, wherein a position of the at least one marker indicates a part of the item group image, wherein each of the at least one markers is associated with at least one of the plurality of categories and displayed at a position of the corresponding at least one of the plurality of categories;
- setting different display forms for each of the least one markers based on whether one or more items within the corresponding at least one of the plurality of categories satisfies a corresponding condition as to whether a process corresponding to the item can be executed;
- receiving an instruction from a user to specify one of the plurality of items;
- and
- dynamically changing, after specification of the one of the plurality of items, the display form of the marker corresponding with the specified one of the plurality of items based on the one of the plurality of items no longer satisfying the corresponding condition as to whether the process corresponding to the item can be executed,
