Method for providing a game, recording medium and server
A method for providing a game in which a plurality of missions is presented to a user device each time a certain period has elapsed from a server having a storage unit for storing user information relating to a plurality of users, includes the steps of generating a plurality of different missions for each of the plurality of users based on the user information stored in the storage unit, presenting a list of the generated missions for each of the users on the user device, and presenting an operational element for updating a mission included in the presented list to another mission regardless of the elapse of the period in accordance with the progress of presented missions.
1. A method for providing a game, over a communication network, to a plurality of user devices via a server device, the method comprising:
transmitting over the communication network, to a first user device of the plurality of user devices, displaying information for presenting a list of a plurality of missions generated for a first user associated with the first user device, the list indicating each of the missions and an exchange element for changing a displayed mission to another mission to be presented in the list, the exchange element being enabled based on an execution status of the displayed mission; and
updating the displaying information so that at least one of the missions included in the list is replaced with a second mission generated for the first user, when the exchange element is enabled.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, in response to the exchange element being enabled, the exchange element is selectable a plurality of times within a predefined time period.
3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein, in response to the exchange element being selected, the exchange element remains enabled as long as the missions are cleared.
4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein, in response to the exchange element being selected, the exchange element is disabled when a mission of the missions is uncleared.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the displaying information includes a mission of a second user who is in a friend status with the first user, the mission of the second user being different from the missions generated for the first user.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the list indicates an item associated with a mission that is acquirable by the first user by clearing the mission.
7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
generating a plurality of missions for each of a plurality of users; and
storing in a memory a plurality of relations between a plurality of items and the plurality of missions.
8. The method according to claim 7 , further comprising:
receiving an identifier of an item from the first user device; and
identifying the second mission, which is a mission in which the item specified by the identifier is acquirable, based on the stored relations between the plurality of items and the plurality of missions.
9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein
the displaying information includes data for displaying the exchange element in the presented list so that the first user can select the exchange element a plurality of times regardless of progress of the missions included in the presented list, and
the updating updates the displaying information each time the exchange element is selected.
10. A non-transitory storage medium having stored therein a control program for a server device providing a game, over a communication network, to a plurality of user devices, the control program, when executed by the server device, causes the server device to perform a process, the process comprising:
transmitting over the communication network, to a first user device of the plurality of user devices, displaying information for presenting a list of a plurality of missions generated for a first user associated with the first user device, the list indicating each of the missions and an exchange element for changing a displayed mission to another mission to be presented in the list, the exchange element being enabled based on an execution status of the displayed mission; and
updating the displaying information so that at least one of the missions included in the list is replaced with a second mission generated for the first user, when the exchange element is enabled.
11. The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 10 , wherein, in response to the exchange element being enabled, the exchange element is selectable a plurality of times within a predefined time period.
12. The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein, in response to the exchange element being selected, the exchange element remains enabled as long as the missions are cleared.
13. The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein, in response to the exchange element being selected, the exchange element is disabled when a mission of the missions is uncleared.
14. The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 10 , wherein the displaying information includes a mission of a second user who is in a friend status with the first user, the mission of the second user being different from the missions generated for the first user.
15. The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 10 , wherein the list indicates an item associated with a mission that is acquirable by the first user by clearing the mission.
16. The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 10 , wherein the process further comprises
generating a plurality of missions for each of a plurality of users; and
storing in a memory a plurality of relations between a plurality of items and the plurality of missions.
17. The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 16 , wherein the process further comprises
receiving an identifier of an item from the first user device; and
identifying the second mission, which is a mission in which the item specified by the identifier is acquirable, based on the stored relations between the plurality of items and the plurality of missions.
18. The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 10 , wherein
the displaying information includes data for displaying the exchange element in the presented list so that the first user can select the exchange element a plurality of times regardless of progress of the missions included in the presented list, and
the updating updates the displaying information each time the exchange element is selected.
19. A server device for providing a game, over a communication network, to a plurality of user devices, the server device comprising:
processing circuitry configured to
transmit over the communication network, to a first user device of the plurality of user devices, displaying information for presenting a list of a plurality of missions generated for a first user associated with the first user device, the list indicating each of the missions and an exchange element for changing a displayed mission to another mission to be presented in the list, the exchange element being enabled based on an execution status of the displayed mission, and
update the displaying information so that at least one of the missions included in the list is replaced with a second mission generated for the first user, when the exchange element is enabled.
20. The server device according to claim 19 , wherein, in response to the exchange element being enabled, the exchange element is selectable a plurality of times within a predefined time period.
