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: Information about a plurality of participation rewards to be given upon participation in a game event during each unit period in a period in which the event is held, is presented to a user. An upper limit number of unit periods for giving, and the reward contents, are set in advance. In accordance with event participation, participation rewards corresponding to the unit periods in which the participation timings are included are given to the user. The event advancement status is updated on the basis of the event participation by each user. If an ending condition is satisfied, event advancement is ended. If the number of times the unit period has come until the end of the event since the start thereof is smaller than the upper limit number of unit periods in which the rewards can be given, at least one of non-given participation rewards is given to the user.

Abstract: First, an indication sign displayed on a display screen is moved so as to reach a first position at a predetermined timing. Next, when an operation input to an input section is performed at the predetermined timing, a parameter related to the indication sign is changed. Furthermore, when the parameter related to the indication sign does not satisfy a first condition after the parameter is changed, the indication sign is moved to a position different from the first position, and then is moved toward the first position again.
