(Outline configuration of game server)
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the game server 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention. As illustrated, the game server 200 includes a reception unit 210, a transmission unit 220, a storage unit 230, and a control unit 240, and provides support for the first user to guide the second user.

The receiving unit 210 receives various information transmitted from the first user terminal 300, the second user terminal 400, and the like via the Internet 900.
For example, the receiving unit 210 receives various operation information during a game, chat information between users, and the like from the first user terminal 300 and the second user terminal 400. Note that the operation information includes information that instructs movement, attack, defense, and other actions on the player character when the player character fights against the enemy character as a task.
The communication device 506 and the like described above can function as such a receiving unit 210.

The transmission unit 220 transmits various information to the first user terminal 300, the second user terminal 400, and the like via the Internet 900.
For example, the transmission unit 220 transmits, to the user terminal 300, motion information for instructing an action on an enemy character during a fight according to task information (common task information) when the first user instructs the second user. To do.
Since the player character and the enemy character perform real-time fighting as a task, the transmission unit 220 transmits a series of motion information during the fighting to the first user terminal 300 and the second user terminal 400 before the fighting is started. The movement of the enemy character may be controlled on the first user terminal 300 and the second user terminal 400 side.
The communication device 506 and the like described above can function as such a transmission unit 220.

  The storage unit 230 stores various information necessary for the first user to guide the second user. For example, the storage unit 230 stores user management information 231, common task information 232, input string information 233, and the like.

The user management information 231 is information for managing the first user who uses the first user terminal 300 and the second user who uses the second user terminal 400. The user management information 231 includes information as shown in FIG. 4 as an example.
That is, the user management information 231 includes a user ID 231a, a level value 231b, a coin balance 231c, a possessed character 231d, a play time 231e, invitation information 231f, invited information 231g, and the like.
Note that “ABC-D123” indicated by the user ID 231a is the first user on the teaching side, and “BCD-E234” is the second user on the teaching side.
The level value 231b is a value indicating the progress of the fighting game for the user. Instead of such a level value 231b, a game rank or the like may be stored.
Further, the coin balance 231c indicates the balance of coins (which is an example and may be another name) that is the in-game currency acquired by the user. As will be described later, when the second user can successfully imitate the sample play of the first user, a predetermined amount of coins is awarded to the first user and the second user, respectively.
The owned character 231d is information (character ID) for identifying a character (owned character) owned by the user. The user can arbitrarily select a player character fighting against an enemy character from the owned character 231d.
The play time 231e is a value indicating the accumulated play time in which the user has played the fighting game. Note that an average play time per unit period may be stored instead of the accumulated play time.
The invitation information 231f is set with the user ID of the invitation destination when the user invites another user. The invited information 231g is set with the user ID of the invitation source when the user is invited from another user.
That is, FIG. 4 shows that the first user (ABC-D123) invites the second user (BCD-E234) (the second user is invited from the first user).

Returning to FIG. 3, the common task information 232 is a common task presented to the first user terminal 300 and the second user terminal 400 when the first user instructs the second user.
For example, the common task information 232 defines a fighting sequence, a time limit, etc. in a predetermined scene or a predetermined enemy character. The common task information 232 may be defined in advance according to the fighting game, and may be freely registered by the first user or the like specifying an arbitrary scene or enemy character in the fighting game. May be.
As will be described later, a fight with an enemy character according to the common task information 232 is presented to the first user terminal 300 in advance by the control unit 240 (first presentation unit 241). Thereafter, along with the input sequence of the first user (first input sequence described below), the fight with the enemy character according to the common task information 232 is performed by the control unit 240 (second presentation unit 243) by the second user terminal. 400. That is, the second user can play the same task as the first user with reference to the sample play reproduced in the input sequence of the first user.

When the assignment according to the common assignment information 232 is presented to the first user terminal 300 and the second user terminal 400, the input string information 233 is displayed by the first user and the second user in response to the assignment. The inputted input string is stored.
As will be described later, in advance, the control unit 240 (first acquisition unit 242) acquires the first input string input by the first user at the first user terminal 300 and stores it as the input string information 233. . Specifically, a first input string as shown in FIG. 5A is stored. As shown in FIG. 5 (a), the first input sequence includes instruction information (instruction group for movement, attack, defense, etc. on the player character) input by the first user during the fight with the enemy character in time series. It is the recorded information. As will be described later, the first input string as shown in FIG. 5A is used to present the sample play of the first user to the second user and to evaluate the first user and the second user. It is done.
Further, the control unit 240 (second acquisition unit 244) acquires the second input string input by the second user at the second user terminal 400 and stores it as the input string information 233. Specifically, the second input string as shown in FIG. 5B is stored. The second input string as shown in FIG. 5B is used to evaluate the first user and the second user, as will be described later.
5A and 5B schematically show each input string, but in actuality, it is assumed that it is stored as numerical data corresponding to the time axis.

In addition to this, the storage unit 230 stores various information necessary for the processing of the control unit 240. For example, the storage unit 230 also stores information defining a game field in a fighting game and information such as a message.
The above-described RAM 503, storage device 504, and the like can function as such a storage unit 230.

Returning to FIG. 3, the control unit 240 controls the entire game server 200 and provides support for the first user to guide the second user.
The control unit 240 includes, for example, a first presentation unit 241, a first acquisition unit 242, a second presentation unit 243, a second acquisition unit 244, an evaluation unit 245, and the like.

  The first presentation unit 241 presents the assignment to the first user through the transmission unit 220. In other words, the first presentation unit 241 determines the task (more specifically, the action information of the enemy character) that the player character operated by the first user plays against the enemy character in accordance with the common task information 232 described above. Present it to the terminal 300.

The first acquisition unit 242 acquires the first input string input by the first user in response to the assignment through the reception unit 210.
That is, the first acquisition unit 242 indicates the instruction information input by the first user in response to the task of fighting with the enemy character presented by the first presentation unit 241 (instruction group such as movement, attack, defense, etc. against the player character). ) Is obtained.

The second presentation unit 243 presents the first input string and the assignment to the second user through the transmission unit 220. In other words, the second presentation unit 243 includes a sample play that is reproduced by the input sequence of the first user, and a task in which the player character operated by the second user battles the enemy character (the same task as that for the first user). Is presented to the second user terminal 400.
That is, the second user can play the same task with reference to the sample play of the first user.
Moreover, the 2nd presentation part 243 may show the difficulty at the time of responding to a task lower than the 1st presentation part 241, without changing the content of the task. For example, the second presentation unit 243 is effective even if the input time of the second user is delayed by extending the time limit (the attack hits the enemy character or can defend against the attack from the enemy character). To do. In addition, the second presentation unit 243 may make it difficult to decrease the life value of the player character, or may continue to play until the task ends even if the life value disappears.
In addition to this, the second presentation unit 243 sets the configuration of the second input sequence acquired sequentially by the following second acquisition unit 244 in parallel with the presentation of the task at a speed that matches the configuration of the first input sequence. Accordingly, the movement speed of the enemy character may be reduced. That is, the 2nd presentation part 243 slows down the advancing speed of a task according to the speed at which the second user can correctly imitate the sample play of the first user. For example, the motion of the enemy character is reproduced in the same order as when presented to the first user, but the speed changes according to the response speed of the second user. That is, when the second user slowly imitates the sample play (first input string), the action of the enemy character is also slowed accordingly. At that time, if the second user makes an input (erroneous input) different from the sample play, the movement of the enemy character may be stopped or operated very slowly until the correct input is made.

The second acquisition unit 244 acquires the second input string input by the second user in response to the assignment through the reception unit 210.
In other words, the second acquisition unit 244 acquires a second input string that is instruction information input by the second user in response to the task of playing against the enemy character presented by the second presentation unit 243.

The evaluation unit 245 evaluates the first user and the second user based on the comparison between the first input sequence acquired by the first acquisition unit 242 and the second input sequence acquired by the second acquisition unit 244.
For example, the evaluation unit 245 matches the first input string and the second input string, or the first user and the second user when the second user can imitate the sample play of the first user. Are highly appreciated. The case where the first input string is similar to the second input string is, for example, that the configuration of the first input string is included in the configuration of the second input string. That is, if the second user makes some erroneous inputs but the configuration of the first input sequence is included in the configuration of the second input sequence in order, the evaluation unit 245 determines that the first user and the second user Are highly appreciated. This is because, for example, the first user inputs a sample play (first input string) that is more easily imitated by the second user at a predetermined difficulty level, and with the help of this sample play, the second user can successfully Since it was a result of cooperation with each other, such as being able to imitate and input the second input string, both are highly evaluated.
In addition, the evaluation unit 245 compares the configuration of the second input sequence with respect to the configuration that is important in the first input sequence (for example, a combo attack or an attack that attacks a weak point). Both the first user and the second user may be highly evaluated.
As a specific evaluation result, for example, the evaluation unit 245 gives a predetermined amount of coins to the first user and the second user (increases the target coin balance 231c in FIG. 4). In addition, you may give an item, a character, etc. to a 1st user and a 2nd user instead of giving a coin. That is, if the predetermined reward is given to the first user and the second user, the reward content is arbitrary.

In addition to this, the control unit 240 generates various information necessary for generating a game image or the like in the first user terminal 300 and the second user terminal 400, and the first user terminal 300 and the second user terminal 400 through the transmission unit 220. Processing to send to the second user terminal 400 is also performed.
The above-described CPU 501 and the like can function as the control unit 240 having such a configuration.

  Hereinafter, configurations of the first user terminal 300 and the second user terminal 400 realized in the information processing apparatus 500 will be described with reference to FIGS. When the information processing apparatus 500 is turned on, a program for causing the information processing apparatus 500 to function as the first user terminal 300 or the second user terminal 400 (the terminal apparatus according to the present invention) is executed, and the first user terminal 300 according to the present embodiment The second user terminal 400 is realized.

(Outline configuration of user terminal)
FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the first user terminal 300 and the second user terminal 400 according to the present embodiment. That is, the first user terminal 300 and the second user terminal 400 have the same configuration.
As illustrated, the first user terminal 300 or the like includes an operation reception unit 310, a transmission / reception unit 320, a storage unit 330, a control unit 340, and a display unit 350, and communicates with the game server 200 as appropriate. Meanwhile, the fighting game is progressed by presenting the task.

The operation reception unit 310 receives various operations from the user. For example, the operation reception unit 310 receives an operation from the user based on information obtained from a touch screen or the like.
Specifically, the operation reception unit 310 sequentially receives instruction information for the player character when the player character fights against an enemy character as a task.
Note that the above-described operation device 507 or the like can function as such an operation reception unit 310.

The transmission / reception unit 320 accesses the game server 200 via the Internet 900 and transmits / receives information necessary for the progress of the fighting game.
For example, when the player character fights against an enemy character as an issue, the transmission / reception unit 320 receives action information (movement information such as movement, defense, attack, etc.) of the enemy character transmitted from the game server 200.
In addition, the transmission / reception unit 320 transmits instruction information (information for instructing an action) for the player character received by the operation reception unit 310 to the game server 200.
The above-described communication device 506 or the like can function as such a transmission / reception unit 320.

  The storage unit 330 stores, for example, game management information 331 and the like.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the game management information 331 includes a user ID 331a, a level value 331b, a coin balance 331c, a possessed character 331d, a play time 331e, invitation information 331f, and invited information 331g. Yes. 7 illustrates the first user game management information 331 stored in the first user terminal 300.
That is, the same information as the user management information 231 in FIG. 4 described above is also managed in the first user terminal 300 and the second user terminal 400.
The information stored in the game management information 331 is appropriately synchronized with the user management information 231 stored on the game server 200 side, as will be described later.

In addition to this, the storage unit 330 also stores image data of various characters (player characters, enemy characters, etc.) in the fighting game.
The storage device 504 and the like described above can function as such a storage unit 330.

  Returning to FIG. 6, the control unit 340 controls the first user terminal 300 and the second user terminal 400 as a whole. The control unit 340 includes, for example, a game progression unit 341, a screen generation unit 342, and the like.

The game progression unit 341 advances the fighting game in accordance with the user operation received by the operation reception unit 310. For example, when a fight between a player character and an enemy character is started as a task, the game progression unit 341 operates the player character according to the instruction information received by the operation reception unit 310, and causes the transmission / reception unit 320 to The enemy character is moved according to the received movement information of the enemy character.
In addition, the game progression unit 341 transmits / receives data to / from the game server 200 through the transmission / reception unit 320. For example, information managed by the game management information 331 and information managed by the user management information 231 (correspondence User information).

The screen generation unit 342 generates a game screen of the fighting game. For example, the screen generating unit 342 generates a game screen including an opponent play area 610 and a self play area 620 as shown in FIG.
The opponent play area 610 reproduces the state in which the opponent (the first user terminal 300 is the second user and the second user terminal 400 is the first user) playing in response to the task. Area. That is, if it is the 1st user terminal 300, the 2nd user's play will be reproduced | regenerated in the other party play area | region 610, and the 1st user can confirm now that it can imitate well. On the other hand, in the case of the second user terminal 400, the sample play of the first user is reproduced in the opponent play area 610 so that the second user can refer to it.
In addition, in the self-playing area 620, the user (the first user terminal 300 is the first user, and the second user terminal 400 is the second user) shows the player character PC and the enemy character TC. This is a play area for fighting. That is, the first user and the second user operate the enemy character TC operating in their own play area 620 by using an input string (input 1, input 2, input 3,..., Input n). The player character PC will attack. At this time, in the second user terminal 400, when the input of the input string from the second user is stopped or a combo such as an attack is determined, the enemy character TC operating in the play area 620 is stopped. May be.
That is, in the play area 620 of the second user terminal 400, the enemy character TC initially operates at the same speed as the opponent play area 610, but the second user plays a sample play in the opponent play area 610 (for example, The action of the enemy character TC stops until the same input as input 1) is made. Then, when the input 1 is made by the second user, the action of the enemy character TC is resumed. Subsequently, the action of the enemy character TC stops until the second user makes the same input as the sample play (for example, input 2) in the opponent play area 610. Then, when input 2 is made by the second user, the action of the enemy character TC is resumed. In this way, the process is repeated until the end of the input string (input n).
FIG. 8A shows a game screen in which the opponent play area 610 and the self play area 620 are arranged side by side, but is only an example, and the screen generator 342 displays the opponent play area 610. And a game screen in which the self-playing area 620 is arranged vertically may be generated.
In addition, the screen generation unit 342 may generate a game image capable of switching between the opponent play area 610 and the self play area 620 as shown in FIG. The switching direction is not limited to the horizontal direction and may be the vertical direction.

In addition to this, the control unit 340 appropriately executes various processes necessary for the progress of the fighting game.
The above-described CPU 501 or the like can function as the control unit 340 having such a configuration.

The display unit 350 displays the game screen generated by the screen generation unit 342. That is, the display unit 350 displays a game screen or the like as shown in FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (b).
Note that the display device 505 and the like described above can function as such a display unit 350.

The game server 200 controls the overall progress of the fighting game executed on the first user terminal 300 or the second user terminal 400, and the most characteristic instruction process will be described.
FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a flow of instruction processing according to the present embodiment. This instruction process is started, for example, when the first user who is instructing invites the second user who is instructed to the fighting game and executes the fighting game together.

First, the game server 200 starts presenting a task to the first user (step S11).
That is, the control unit 240 (first presentation unit 241) starts presenting a task in which the player character operated by the first user battles the enemy character to the first user terminal 300 according to the common task information 232.

The game server 200 acquires the first input string (step S12).
That is, the control unit 240 (first acquisition unit 242) displays the instruction information input by the first user in response to the challenge to fight the presented enemy character (instructions such as movement, attack, defense, etc. on the player character). Group) is obtained.

The game server 200 determines whether or not the assignment presentation has ended (step S13).
That is, the game server 200 determines whether or not the assignment presentation to the first user terminal 300 started in step S11 has ended.

  When it is determined that the task presentation has not ended (step S13; No), the game server 200 returns the process to step S12 described above.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the task presentation has ended (step S13; Yes), the game server 200 presents a sample play to the second user (step S14).
That is, the control unit 240 (second presentation unit 243) presents a sample play reproduced in the input sequence of the first user to the second user terminal 400.

The game server 200 starts presenting the task to the second user (step S15).
That is, the control unit 240 (second presentation unit 243) starts presenting a task in which the player character operated by the second user battles the enemy character to the second user terminal 400 in accordance with the common task information 232.
That is, the second user can play the same task with reference to the sample play presented in step S14.

The game server 200 appropriately reduces the difficulty level when responding to the task (step S15).
That is, the control unit 240 presents the difficulty level when responding to the task lower than the task in step S11 without changing the content of the task. For example, the control unit 240 increases the time limit so that it becomes effective even if the input of the second user is delayed (the attack hits the enemy character or can defend against the attack from the enemy character). Further, the control unit 240 may make it difficult to decrease the life value of the player character, or may continue to play until the task ends even if the life value is exhausted.
In addition to this, the control unit 240 determines the enemy according to the speed at which the configuration of the second input sequence acquired sequentially in the following step S16 in parallel with the presentation of the task matches the configuration of the first input sequence. The motion speed of the character may be reduced. That is, the control unit 240 slows down the progress speed of the task according to the speed at which the second user can correctly imitate the sample play of the first user. For example, the motion of the enemy character is reproduced in the same order as when presented to the first user, but the speed changes according to the response speed of the second user. That is, when the second user slowly imitates the sample play (first input string), the action of the enemy character is also slowed accordingly. At that time, if the second user makes an input (erroneous input) different from the sample play, the movement of the enemy character may be stopped or operated very slowly until the correct input is made.

The game server 200 acquires the second input string (step S17).
That is, the control unit 240 (second acquisition unit 244) acquires a second input string that is instruction information input by the second user in response to a task of fighting against the presented enemy character.

The game server 200 determines whether or not the assignment presentation has ended (step S18).
That is, the game server 200 determines whether or not the assignment presentation to the second user terminal 400 started in step S15 has ended.

  If it is determined that the task presentation has not ended (step S18; No), the game server 200 returns the process to step S16 described above.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the task presentation has ended (step S18; Yes), the game server 200 evaluates the first user and the second user (step S19).
That is, the control unit 240 (evaluation unit 245) evaluates the first user and the second user based on the comparison between the first input string acquired in step S12 and the second input string acquired in step S16. To do.
For example, when the first input string and the second input string match or are similar to each other and the second user can imitate the sample play of the first user, the control unit 240 may be the first user and the second user. Are highly appreciated. The case where the first input string is similar to the second input string is, for example, that the configuration of the first input string is included in the configuration of the second input string. That is, if the configuration of the first input sequence is included in the configuration of the second input sequence in order, even though the second user makes some erroneous inputs, the control unit 240 determines that the first user and the second user Are highly appreciated. This is because, for example, the first user inputs a sample play (first input string) that is more easily imitated by the second user at a predetermined difficulty level in Step S12, and the assistance of this sample play causes Step S17 to proceed to Step S17. Thus, since the second user can input the second input string by imitating well, the two users highly appreciate both.
In addition, the control unit 240 compares the configuration of the second input sequence with respect to the configuration that is important in the first input sequence (for example, a combo attack or an attack that exploits a weak point). Both the first user and the second user may be highly evaluated.
As a specific evaluation result, for example, the control unit 240 gives a predetermined amount of coins to the first user and the second user (increases the target coin balance 231c in FIG. 4). In addition, you may give an item, a character, etc. to a 1st user and a 2nd user instead of giving a coin. That is, if the predetermined reward is given to the first user and the second user, the reward content is arbitrary.

  In such instruction processing, both the first user and the second user are evaluated because the second user who is a beginner or the like can imitate the input of the first user who is an advanced user. For this reason, both of them are highly motivated. For example, the first user tries to carefully teach the second user tips and the like, while the second user tries to learn the tips seriously.

  As a result, guidance between users can be promoted appropriately, and beginners can acquire skills.

(Other embodiments)
In the above embodiment, the case where the second user plays all the same tasks after the first user has played all the tasks has been described. However, when the task is long or when the task is difficult, a plurality of tasks are You may make it divide | segment into a partial task (good phrase unit etc.), and a 1st user and a 2nd user may play a partial task by turns like a ring.
For example, the first presentation unit 241 presents a task divided into a plurality of partial tasks in accordance with an instruction from the first user, and the first acquisition unit 242 inputs the partial first input in response to the partial task by the first user. Get input column.
The second presentation unit 243 presents the partial task and the partial first input sequence to the second user at the timing when the first acquisition unit 242 finishes acquiring the partial first input sequence, and the second acquisition unit 244 The partial second input string input by the second user in response to the partial task is acquired. Even in this case, the second presentation unit 243 may present the degree of difficulty in responding to the partial task with a lower degree than the first presentation unit 241 without changing the content of the partial task. For example, the second presentation unit 243 is effective even if the input time of the second user is delayed by extending the time limit (the attack hits the enemy character or can defend against the attack from the enemy character). To do. In addition, the second presentation unit 243 may make it difficult to decrease the life value of the player character, or may continue to play until the task ends even if the life value disappears.
In addition to this, the second presentation unit 243 has a speed at which the configuration of the second input sequence sequentially acquired by the following second acquisition unit 244 in parallel with the presentation of the partial task matches the configuration of the first input sequence. In response to this, the movement speed of the enemy character may be reduced. That is, the second presentation unit 243 slows the progress speed of the partial task according to the speed at which the second user can correctly imitate the sample play of the first user. For example, the motion of the enemy character is reproduced in the same order as when presented to the first user, but the speed changes according to the response speed of the second user. That is, when the second user slowly imitates the sample play (first input string), the action of the enemy character is also slowed accordingly. At that time, if the second user makes an input (erroneous input) different from the sample play, the movement of the enemy character may be stopped or operated very slowly until the correct input is made.
In addition, in addition to slowing down the progress speed of the partial task or reducing the difficulty in accordance with the input of the second user who responds to the partial task being played in this way, before the partial task being played ( As an example, in accordance with the input of the second user who responds to the previous partial task, the progress speed of the current partial task may be slowed or the difficulty level may be reduced.
In addition, when the second user is not imitating correctly even after the progress speed of the partial task is slowed down or the difficulty level is lowered, the partial task to be presented to the first user may be further divided. . That is, the first presentation unit 241 shortens the length of the partial task as the ratio at which the configuration of the partial second input sequence matches the configuration of the partial first input sequence is reduced. In this case, if it is still difficult for the second user to imitate, it is possible to present a partial task that is further shortened so that it is easier to imitate.
The game server 200 repeats the alternate play such as singing until the entire task is completed. When the entire task is completed, the evaluation unit 245 evaluates the first user and the second user based on the comparison between all the partial first input strings and the partial second input strings.
In this case, even a long or difficult task can be presented to a second user who is a beginner, for example, by a first user who is an advanced user, for example, by dividing it at a sharp point. It is possible to make it easier for the user to acquire the skill.

In the above embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a fighting game has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to such a fighting game, and various other games such as a card game, a puzzle game, a music game, a sports game, and the like. In this case, the present invention can be applied.
Even when the invention of the present application is applied to these various games, it is possible to appropriately promote the guidance between users and to acquire skills for beginners and the like.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the dedicated game server 200 or the user terminal 300 is used has been described. However, an operation program that defines the operation of the game server 200 or the user terminal 300 is used as an existing personal computer, information terminal device, It is possible to make the personal computer function as the game server 200 or the user terminal 300 by applying to the above.

  In addition, such a program distribution method is arbitrary, for example, a computer-readable medium such as a CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read-Only Memory), a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), an MO (Magneto Optical Disc), or a memory card. It may be stored in a recording medium and distributed, or distributed via a communication network such as the Internet.

(Summary)
A game system according to a first aspect of the present invention provides a game that provides a common game to a first user (for example, an advanced user) and a second user (for example, a beginner) invited by the first user. The system includes a first presentation unit, a first acquisition unit, a second presentation unit, a second acquisition unit, and an evaluation unit.

The first presentation unit presents a task (for example, a task to play against an enemy character) to the first user. The first acquisition unit acquires a first input string (for example, an instruction group such as movement, defense, and attack) input by the first user in response to the task.
Further, the second presentation unit presents the assignment and the first input string to the second user. A 2nd acquisition part acquires the 2nd input sequence which the 2nd user input in response to the subject. Then, the evaluation unit evaluates the first user and the second user based on the comparison between the first input string and the second input string. For example, when the first input string and the second input string match or are similar to each other and the second user can imitate the input of the first user, the evaluator is good at teaching the first user, And since the 2nd user's way of memorizing was good, both the 1st user and the 2nd user are evaluated highly.
Thus, both the first user and the second user are evaluated because the second user who is a beginner or the like can imitate the input of the first user who is an advanced user or the like. For this reason, both of them are highly motivated. For example, the first user tries to carefully teach the second user tips and the like, while the second user tries to learn the tips seriously.

In this case, the input of the first user who is an advanced user or the like can be easily imitated by the second user who is a beginner or the like, and the second user can easily learn the skill.

Further, in the above game system, the second acquisition unit sequentially acquires the second input string input by the second user in parallel with the second presentation unit causing the presentation of the task, The unit may decelerate the progress speed of presenting the task in accordance with a speed at which the configuration of the second input sequence acquired sequentially matches the configuration of the first input sequence.
In this case, the second user who is a beginner or the like can respond to the task at his / her own pace, and the second user can easily learn the skill.

Moreover, in the said game system, when a subject is winning the character to fight, a 2nd presentation part makes the speed | rate in which the structure of the 2nd input row | line | column acquired sequentially corresponds with the structure of a 1st input row | line | column. Accordingly, the motion speed of the character may be reduced.
In this case, since the character moves slowly according to the speed at which the second user, such as a beginner, can respond correctly, the second user can respond to the task at his / her own pace, making it easier for the second user to acquire the skill. it can.

In the above game system, the second presentation unit may stop the movement of the character while the configuration of the second input sequence does not match the configuration of the first input sequence.
In this case, since the movement of the character stops until the second user who is a beginner or the like can correctly respond, the second user can be made to learn the skill easily.

In the above game system, the first presentation unit presents the task divided into a plurality of partial tasks according to the instruction of the first user, and the first acquisition unit inputs the first user in response to the partial task. The partial first input sequence is acquired, and the second presentation unit presents the partial task and the partial first input sequence to the second user at a timing when the first acquisition unit finishes acquiring the partial first input sequence. The second acquisition unit acquires a partial second input string input by the second user in response to the partial task, and the evaluation unit is based on a comparison between all the partial first input strings and the partial second input strings. The first user and the second user may be evaluated.
In this case, even a long or difficult task can be presented to a second user who is a beginner, for example, by a first user who is an advanced user, for example, by dividing it at a sharp point. It is possible to make it easier for the user to acquire the skill.

In the above game system, the first presentation unit may shorten the length of the partial task as the ratio at which the configuration of the partial second input sequence matches the configuration of the partial first input sequence decreases.
In this case, if it is still difficult for the second user to imitate, it is possible to present a partial task that is further shortened so that it is easier to imitate.

In the above game system, the first user uses the first terminal, the second user uses the second terminal, and the first terminal and the second terminal include a play area of the opponent user. And their own play areas may be arranged side by side or in a switchable manner.
In this case, in the first terminal, the first user can check whether the second user can imitate well, and the second user can refer to the sample play of the first user on the second terminal. it can.
