Abstract
A game system executes a game that progresses in response to action commands issued on a plurality of electronic devices. When a first action command has been issued on a first electronic device, the system notifies a second electronic device, which is different from the first electronic device, of the issuance of the action command on the first electronic device. The system also sets a first time period until an action triggered by the first action command is reflected in the game, and after the elapse of the first time period from the time based on the first action command, reflects the action triggered by the first action command in the game executed by the second electronic device.
Claims10
A game system for executing a game that progresses in response to action commands issued on a plurality of electronic devices, the game system comprising:
- a calculator configured to perform a calculation for execution of the game;
- a notifier configured to notify, when a first action command has been issued on a first electronic device, a second electronic device of the issuance of the first action command on the first electronic device, the second electronic device being different from the first electronic device;
- a setter configured to set a first time period until an action triggered by the first action command is reflected in the game;
- and
- a reflector configured to reflect, after the first time period has elapsed from time based on the first action command, the action triggered by the first action command in the game executed by the second electronic device, wherein
- between the time based on the first action command and the elapse of the first time period, the calculator performs a calculation for reflecting the action triggered by the first action command in the game.
An information processing apparatus for executing processing for a game that progresses in response to action commands issued on a plurality of electronic devices, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- a calculator configured to perform a calculation for execution of the game;
- a notifier configured to notify, when a first action command has been issued on a first electronic device, a second electronic device of the issuance of the first action command on the first electronic device, the second electronic device being different from the first electronic device;
- a setter configured to set a first time period until an action triggered by the first action command is reflected in the game;
- and
- a reflector configured to reflect, after the first time period has elapsed from time based on the first action command, the action triggered by the first action command in the game, wherein
- between the time based on the first action command and the elapse of the first time period, the calculator performs a calculation for reflecting the action triggered by the first action command in the game.
A control method for an information processing apparatus for executing processing for a game that progresses in response to action commands issued on a plurality of electronic devices, the control method comprising:
- performing a calculation for execution of the game;
- notifying, when a first action command has been issued on a first electronic device, a second electronic device of the issuance of the first action command on the first electronic device, the second electronic device being different from the first electronic device;
- setting a first time period until an action triggered by the first action command is reflected in the game;
- and
- reflecting, after the first time period has elapsed from time based on the first action command, the action triggered by the first action command in the game, wherein
- in the performing of the calculation, a calculation for reflecting the action triggered by the first action command in the game is performed between the time based on the first action command and the elapse of the first time period.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded therein a program for executing processing for a game that progresses in response to action commands issued on a plurality of electronic devices, the program causing one or more computers to execute:
- performing a calculation for execution of the game;
- notifying, when a first action command has been issued on a first electronic device, a second electronic device of the issuance of the first action command on the first electronic device, the second electronic device being different from the first electronic device;
- setting a first time period until an action triggered by the first action command is reflected in the game;
- and
- reflecting, after the first time period has elapsed from time based on the first action command, the action triggered by the first action command in the game, wherein
- in the performing of the calculation, a calculation for reflecting the action triggered by the first action command in the game is performed between the time based on the first action command and the elapse of the first time period.
