Abstract: An electronic device having a display section, comprising: a processor, wherein the processor executes the processing of: displaying a module image corresponding to a module used for sound processing and a sound information image corresponding to sound information relating to generation of a sound which can be set in the module on the display section; receiving an operation on at least one of the sound information image displayed on the display section and the module image displayed on the display section; and controlling the sound processing performed by setting the sound information corresponding to the sound information image to the module according to the operation.

Abstract: A non-transitory storage medium encoded with a computer readable game program executed by a computer incorporating a near field radio communication function causes the computer to perform acts including reading, by establishing near field radio communication with an information storage medium, first data stored in that information storage medium, registering the read first data, reading, by establishing near field radio communication with an information storage medium after registration of the first data, second data stored in that information storage medium, and progressing game processing when the second data matches with the first data.

Abstract: A playback device includes a first buffer and a second buffer, each having storage regions, and a processing unit. The processing unit performs: a storage process that causes input audio data to be stored in the storage regions of the first buffer in order; a first playback process that causes the stored audio data to be played back in the order in which the audio data was stored; a designation process that designates, in response to a user input, at least one of the plurality of storage regions of the first buffer in which the audio data is stored; a copy process that causes the audio data stored in the designated storage region of the first buffer to be copied to the second buffer; and a second playback process that causes the audio data copied to the second buffer to be repeatedly played back.

Abstract: A region in a displayed image is scraped away in accordance with a trail of touch with a touch pen or the like and an object showing “shavings” corresponding to the scraped-away region is generated. A display position of each of particles generated in accordance with a user's operation with the touch pen 27 or the like varies over time, in line with physical motion in accordance with actual gravity. Namely, a speed of each of the particles successively varies in accordance with prescribed acceleration (comparable to gravity) and the display position thereof is successively updated in accordance with the successively varying speed.

Abstract: A game system includes, for example, a game console and a plurality of hand-held game apparatuses functioning as an operating means. In the game system, a game for causing a plurality of player characters simultaneously displayed to find a hidden item in a game field is performed. Then, when a distance between a non-displayed item hidden, which is an object to be found, and the player character comes within the range of the predetermined distance, a notification sound that varies depending on the distance, for example, is output from a speaker of the hand-held game apparatus that operates the player character.

In the game system, a game for causing a plurality of player characters simultaneously displayed to find a hidden item in a game field is performed. Then, in a case that a distance between a non-displayed item hidden as an object to be found and the player character falls within the range of the predetermined distance, a notification sound varied depending on the distance, for example, is output from a speaker of the hand-held game apparatus operating the player character.
