Abstract

A system that stores information related to a first plurality of game contents; receives a first user operation to select a second plurality of game contents from among the first plurality of game contents; controls a display to display a plurality of identification images based on information corresponding to the second plurality of game contents; receives a second user operation to change a first parameter corresponding to the second plurality of game contents; and modifies each of the plurality of identification images in accordance with the change to the first parameter.

Claims (41)

1. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program which causes an information processing apparatus for executing a game to execute a method comprising:

displaying an interface to vary a first parameter;

displaying a graphical indicator indicating at least one second parameter relating to at least one game content, wherein a first reference value smaller than the second parameter at a certain time and a second reference value greater than the second parameter at the certain time are set in accordance with the graphical indicator;

varying the first parameter in response to an operation by a user to the interface;

changing the second parameter according to first variation of the first parameter; and

updating the graphical indicator according to second variation of the second parameter,

wherein a second rate of the second variation of the second parameter, with respect to a first rate of the first variation of the first parameter, is determined based on information relating to the game content.

2. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein upon changing the second parameter, a plurality of second parameters are varied in response to one said operation by the user.

3. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein upon updating the graphical indicator, the second parameter before and after the second variation is identifiably displayed.

4. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein upon updating the graphical indicator, amount of the second variation of the second parameter is identifiably displayed.

5. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein upon updating the graphical indicator,

when the second parameter after the second variation is smaller than the first reference value, the first reference value is updated, and

when the second parameter after the second variation is greater than the second reference value, the second reference value is updated.

6. A method for executing a game with an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:

displaying an interface to vary a first parameter;

displaying a graphical indicator indicating at least one second parameter relating to at least one game content, wherein a first reference value smaller than the second parameter at a certain time and a second reference value greater than the second parameter at the certain time are set in accordance with the graphical indicator;

varying the first parameter in response to an operation by a user to the interface;

changing the second parameter according to first variation of the first parameter; and

updating the graphical indicator according to second variation of the second parameter,

wherein a second rate of the second variation of the second parameter, with respect to a first rate of the first variation of the first parameter, is determined based on information relating to the game content.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein upon changing the second parameter, a plurality of second parameters are varied in response to one said operation by the user.

8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein upon updating the graphical indicator, the second parameter before and after the second variation is identifiably displayed.

9. The method according to claim 6 , wherein upon updating the graphical indicator, amount of the second variation of the second parameter is identifiably displayed.

10. The method according to claim 6 , wherein upon updating the graphical indicator,

when the second parameter after the second variation is smaller than the first reference value, the first reference value is updated, and

when the second parameter after the second variation is greater than the second reference value, the second reference value is updated.

11. An information processing apparatus, comprising:

a memory storing instructions for executing a game; and

processing circuitry implementing the instructions by being configured to

display an interface to vary a first parameter,

display a graphical indicator indicating at least one second parameter relating to at least one game content, wherein a first reference value smaller than the second parameter at a certain time and a second reference value greater than the second parameter at the certain time are set in accordance with the graphical indicator,

vary the first parameter in response to an operation by a user to the interface,

change the second parameter according to first variation of the first parameter, and

update the graphical indicator according to second variation of the second parameter,

wherein a second rate of the second variation of the second parameter, with respect to a first rate of the first variation of the first parameter, is determined based on information relating to the game content.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein upon changing the second parameter, a plurality of second parameters are varied m response to one said operation by the user.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein upon updating the graphical indicator, the second parameter before and after the second variation is identifiably displayed.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein upon updating the graphical indicator, amount of the second variation of the second parameter is identifiably displayed.

15. The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein upon updating the graphical indicator,

when the second parameter after the second variation is smaller than the first reference value, the first reference value is updated, and

when the second parameter after the second variation is greater than the second reference value, the second reference value is updated.
