Abstract: A game control program includes a coordinates receiving step for receiving coordinates in a virtual apace, coordinates being input by a player, a course generating step for generating a course according to the coordinates input by the player, along which course a character moves in the virtual space, a course segment setting step for dividing said course into a plurality of segments, a geographical feature setting step for setting geographical features of each of the segments according to geographical position of each of the segments in the virtual space, an event setting step for setting events occurring on each of the segments according to a predetermined random factor, and a character moving step for moving the character in a direction substantially along the segment. A game control machine includes corresponding means.

Abstract: A digital mobile communications system which maintains synchronization among sending data of base stations, measures the time delay of radio waves from mobile stations under control at the control base station and instructs the value of time delay to each mobile station to adjust the timing of sending data of mobile stations to establish synchronization of communications between the base station and the mobile stations, wherein the system comprises means for measuring at mobile stations relative time delays of radio waves from at least one base station other than the control base station with respect to the radio waves from the control base station and periodically reporting the relative time delays to the control base station, and means for calculating at the base station the distances between the mobile station and the base stations and further determining the current geographic positions of the mobile station.
