Abstract: To eliminate restrictions on the order of writing in an access control list. A permission rule and a prohibition rule are stored in advance. A rule is read out from an access control list accepted, and a determination is made as to whether the readout rule is contained in the permission and prohibition rules stored in advance. When the readout rule is not contained and when the readout rule is a permission rule, the readout rule is stored in the temporary storage unit. When the readout rule is not contained and when the readout rule is a prohibition rule, a determination is made as to whether the prohibition rule conflicts with the permission rule stored in the temporary storage unit. When the prohibition rule does not conflict, the prohibition rule is stored in the temporary storage unit.

Abstract: Provided is a game system which causes a player to be aware of an operation position during operation. An operation performed by the player is evaluated according to a degree of concordance between timings and a degree of concordance between positions, and a result of evaluation thus made is reflected in proceedings of the game. Accordingly, the player is aware of not only matching timings of operating operation portions with operation timings but also matching positions for operating the operation portions with operation positions constituted from a plurality of regions. The difficulty level of the game is therefore increased. Consequently, interest of the player in the game may be prevented from being lost.
