Abstract: An online game system is a system in which plurality of players conduct a game play by accessing through a network. The online game system includes a private area control part controlling a game stage of a private area which restricts a number of players sharing a same game space; and a public area control part controlling a game stage of a public area which allows the number of players sharing the same game space greater than the private area, wherein a game is begun from a first game stage of the public area, the first game stage is transited to a second game stage of the private area, the second game stage is transited to a third game stage of the public area after the second game stage of the private area is cleared, and these transitions are repeated more than once.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a control method for controlling gate data of a game in which a plurality of players take part. Before the start of the game, game data is copied form the memory region of each player and stored in a prescribed game memory region, based on the game data of each player stored in the prescribed game memory region, the game is played, and after the end of the game, the game data of each player stored in the game memory region is returned to the memory region of each player.

Abstract: Three user characters are displayed in a chat room. When a user inputs a character string, the character string is displayed on the screens of the respective users. When a character string inputted by a user contains a character string “Ha,Ha,Ha”, a data table outputs an event corresponding to the character string “Ha,Ha,Ha”. All the user characters participating in the chat make a laughing action, uttering the laughing sound “Ha,Ha,Ha”. The input character processing method not only can simply transmits utterances of respective participants but also can occur various events.

Abstract: Disclosed is a laser apparatus for effecting laser oscillation by exciting a laser medium by discharge between an anode and a cathode opposedly arranged to each other in a discharge tube, comprising means disposed in the discharge tube to support both the electrodes movably along the axial direction of the discharge tube so as to prevent warp of the electrodes on laser oscillation and keep the parallelism therebetween with high accuracy. Also disclosed is a laser apparatus comprising main discharge means for effecting laser oscillation by exciting a laser medium by generating discharge, and preionization means for generating ionization previously to the discharge by the main discharge means so as to stabilize laser oscillation under a high gas pressure and a high current density.
