Abstract
This invention is intended to provide an information processing apparatus and method, a recording medium, and a program in which, on the basis of a first script for executing the processing for playing a game, a second script for causing the opponent of the game to execute the processing is generated as well as data indicative of game progress status and the generated second script and data are stored in an electronic mail to be sent to the opponent of the game. Consequently, the game players can proceed with a game via a network without always being connected thereto.
Claims7
An information processing apparatus for executing a game which is played by a plurality of participants by sequentially entering their moves, comprising:
- script generating means for, on the basis of a first script for executing processing corresponding to a given move in a sequence of progression processes of said game, generating a second script for making an opponent of said game execute a process corresponding to a next move in said sequence of progression processes of said game;
- data generating means for generating data indicative of a status of said sequence of progression processes of said game;
- storage means for storing said second script and said data as data of an electronic mail;
- and
- transmission control means for controlling the transmission of said electronic mail storing said second script and said data.
An information processing method for executing a game which is played by a plurality of participants by sequentially entering their moves, comprising the steps of:
- generating, on the basis of a first script for executing processing corresponding to a given move in a sequence of progression processes of said game, a second script for making an opponent of said game execute a process corresponding to a next move in said sequence of progression processes of said game;
- generating data indicative of a status of said sequence of progression processes of said game;
- storing said second script and said data as data of an electronic mail;
- and
- controlling the transmission of said electronic mail storing said second script and said data.
A recording medium recording a computer-readable program for executing a game which is played by a plurality of participants by sequentially entering their moves, comprising the steps of:
- generating, on the basis of a first script for executing processing corresponding to a given move in a sequence of progression processes of said game, a second script for making an opponent of said game execute a process corresponding to a next move in said sequence of progression processes of said game;
- generating data indicative of a status of said sequence of progression processes of said game;
- storing said second script and said data as data of an electronic mail;
- and
- controlling the transmission of said electronic mail storing said second script and said data.
A program for causing a computer to execute a game which is played by a plurality of participants by sequentially entering their moves, comprising the steps of:
- generating, on the basis of a first script for executing processing corresponding to a given move in a sequence of progression processes of said game, a second script for making an opponent of said game execute a process corresponding to a next move in said sequence of progression processes of said game;
- generating data indicative of a status of said sequence of progression processes of said game;
- storing said second script and said data as data of an electronic mail;
- and
- controlling the transmission of said electronic mail storing said second script and said data.
