Abstract: The technology described implements attestation programs that employ “code reuse” techniques. In particular, the technology relates to auto-generating attestation programs for, among other aspects, detecting whether a program has been modified. In one non-limiting example, the technology uses a tool that scans a software program (e.g., a video game) code for usable code sequences. The tool can automatically combine code sequences to generate a large number of attestation programs of different variety (e.g., memory checks, hashing).

Abstract: In a first mode, an aiming direction in a virtual space is determined based on a second operation input, and a player character is caused to launch, in the aiming direction, an item that affects a field character disposed on a field in the virtual space, based on a third operation input. In a second mode, the aiming direction is determined, based on the second operation input, and the player character is caused to launch, in the aiming direction, a fighting character that fights, based on the third operation input.

Abstract: In an example of a game program, a ground boarding target object or an air boarding target objects is selected by a selecttion operation, and a player character is caused to board the selected boarding target object. If the player character aboard the air boarding target object moves toward the ground player character automatically changed to the state where the player character is aboard the ground boarding target object, and brought into the state where the player character can move on the ground.

Abstract: An example of a server receives first event data from an information processing apparatus. The server stores therein event management data including event state information that indicates whether a second event has already occurred or has not yet occurred. When receiving a request from the information processing apparatus, the server transmits at least one piece of second event data to the information processing apparatus. The at least one piece of second event data includes second event data based on event management data in which the event state information indicates that the second event has already occurred and/or second event data to be transmitted when the second event data stored in the first storage area is insufficient. Upon receiving the third event data indicating that the second event has occurred, the server updates the event state information so as to indicate that the second event has already occurred.

Abstract: A movement direction of a moving object moving in a virtual space is changed based on at least a component in a first axial direction of a coordinate change of a user's input continuously performed and indicating a coordinate input, with reference to a first reference coordinate point determined by the user's input. A game operation different from a movement of the moving object in the virtual space is determined based on at least a component of the user's input in a second axial direction different from the first axial direction, and is executed.

Abstract: A game apparatus that functions as a non-limiting example information processing apparatus includes a CPU. If execution of an auto-play game is instructed, the CPU makes, from a start to an end of the auto-play game, cause a plurality of player characters, i.e., available characters used by a player and a plurality of enemy characters to play battles with each other at predetermined time intervals. For example, in halfway until the auto-play game is cleared or rendered as a game over, the player sets the available characters or sets arrangement of the available characters by referring to results of battles at every predetermined time intervals, thereby to start the auto-play game again. That is, the available character to be played against the enemy character is re-set.

Abstract: A 3D sound spatializer provides delay-compensated HRTF interpolation techniques and efficient cross-fading between current and delayed HRTF filter results to mitigate artifacts caused by interpolation between HRTF filters and the use of time-varying HRTF filters.

Abstract: A character is displayed in its initial state in a virtual space with at least two of a plurality of parts set as non-exposed parts that are at least partially covered by respective corresponding accessories. A playback process of playing back a scene that an accessory for one of the at least two non-exposed parts is moved such that the one of the at least two non-exposed parts is exposed, and a changing process of allowing a user to change the part exposed by the playback process, are executed serially for the at least two non-exposed parts of the character in the initial state.

Abstract: An exemplary information processing system is configured to create a route formed by arranging, in a virtual space, a plurality of route parts each associated with a design; determine whether the route created by the user contains a forbidden symbol or a forbidden word. When the route created by the user contains a forbidden symbol or a forbidden word, uploading of the route created by the user to the server is prohibited.

Abstract: A first game process that proceeds independently of a second game process related to opponents for a user is performed. State data indicating a second game state of the second game process related to each of a plurality of the opponents is sequentially acquired, and a display image including a first image reflecting a first game state of the first game process and a plurality of second images reflecting the second game states indicated by the state data is sequentially generated. At least one policy is selected on the basis of an operation by the user, a target is specified from among the plurality of the opponents on the basis of the selected policy, and an instruction that changes a game state of the target is made if a game state of the user satisfies a predetermined condition.

Abstract: When a first input is performed in a predetermined scene, options including elements available in a predetermined game are presented. An element to be used in the predetermined game is determined on the basis of an operation input by a user. In response to a second input, the predetermined game using the determined element is executed. Meanwhile, at a predetermined timing before the predetermined game is started, an element to be used in the predetermined game is automatically determined. When a third input is performed in the predetermined scene, the predetermined game is executed using the automatically determined element. After the predetermined game is ended, a first reward is given to the user if the element used in the predetermined game is the element determined on the basis of the operation input by the user, and a second reward is given if the element is the automatically determined element.

Abstract: An example of an information processing system sets an image capturing direction of a virtual camera in accordance with an image capturing direction of a camera, and if the image capturing direction of the camera is within a predetermined range, moves a virtual door in a virtual space in accordance with the image capturing direction of the virtual camera. If the image capturing direction of the camera is directed more upward than a first threshold, the information processing system does not move the virtual door further in the up direction. If the image capturing direction of the camera is directed more downward than a second threshold, the information processing system does not move the virtual door further in the down direction.

Abstract: A game system includes a mode switching unit switching a play mode between a one-player play mode and a two-player play mode, on the basis of at least one of first operation data from a left controller and second operation data from a right controller, and a control unit controlling a player character and a sub-player character in a virtual space. In the one-player play mode, the control unit switches an operation target between the player character and the sub-player character is set as an operation target, on the basis of the first operation data and the second operation data, and in the two-player play mode, the control unit controls the player character on the basis of the first operation data and controls the sub-player character on the basis of the second operation data.

Abstract: A game apparatus functioning as a non-limiting example information processing apparatus includes a CPU that executes virtual game processing. A player makes a PC act in a place provided in a virtual space, and clears a quest issued by an NPC that the PC encountered. Then, a reward is given to the PC or player. Moreover, by displaying one or more quests issued by one or more NPCs by list, it is possible to clear a quest selected from the list. In this case, a reward is also given to the PC or player.

Abstract: Provided is a computer-readable non-transitory storage medium having an information processing program stored therein that, in a game in which a predetermined condition is set as an achievement goal, makes it unnecessary to start the game over again even if the predetermined condition is not achieved. At least one game object selected from among game objects possessed by a user is arranged within a game space, and a score is calculated on the basis of the game object. If the score satisfies an achievement condition, an in-game effect corresponding to the achievement condition is caused. If the score does not satisfy the achievement condition but satisfies a sub-achievement condition that is not satisfied simultaneously with the achievement condition, change of a game state is performed so as to cause the in-game effect corresponding to the achievement condition in exchange for change of an exchange parameter.

Abstract: It is determined whether execution is to be carried out in a first mode or in a second mode, according to a user's selection operation. In the first mode, a movement of a player object is controlled according to the user's movement operation, and a movement of a non-player object is automatically controlled. Positions of the player object and the non-player object are changed according to the user's position changing operation such that a relative positional relationship between the player object and the non-player object for use in the second mode is a first positional relationship. In the second mode, movements of the player object and the non-player object are automatically controlled while maintaining the first positional relationship.

Abstract: An example information processing system executes a process using values of scores of a plurality of users that are updated based on a result of a game. When a first game is selected from games, the first game is executed, in which the result of the game is determined based on a first user's game operation in the first game, and an opponent based on data of a second user different from the first user. When a second game is selected from games, the second game is executed, in which the result of the game is determined independently of the first user's game operation performed in the second game. The information processing system updates the first user's score and the second user's score based on a result of the first game, and updates at least the first user's score based on a result of the second game.

Abstract: A plurality of game objects whose appearance can be changed are simultaneously displayed on a display section. An image corresponding to at least one type of an item object among a plurality of types of item objects is designated as a designation object on the basis of an instruction from a user. When the designation object is designated, whether each of the plurality of game objects is a wearing-possible game object that can wear the item object corresponding to the designation object or a wearing-impossible game object that cannot wear the item object corresponding to the designation object, is determined. Then, a display is changed such that the wearing-possible game object is caused to wear the item object and the wearing-impossible game object is caused not to wear the item object.
