Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a non-transitory storage medium storing a computer program, and the like, for providing a type of a game in which a match proceeds by a computer repeatedly calculating actions of objects. Description of the Related Art As a game system that provides a type of a game in which a match proceeds by making a computer repeatedly calculate actions of objects within a game space, there is known a game system in which a user plays a role of a supervisor, or the like, and can provide instructions as needed while the match is proceeding to reflect selection by the user in the calculation of the actions of the objects (see, for example, Patent Literature 1). Alternatively, there is also a game system in which selection by the user is interposed when a specific condition that is an important momentum in view of proceeding of the match occurs. CITATION LIST Patent Literature Patent Literature 1JP 2014-198106 A SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Technical Problem If a user is allowed to make selection at any time during a match, the user may wonder at which timing an instruction should be provided. On the other hand, when an opportunity for the user to perform the selection is entrusted to assessment of a condition by the computer, there is no regularity in the opportunity of selection, and thus, the user has difficulty in grasping at which timing the opportunity of selection arises. Thus, even if the opportunity of selection arises at a certain timing, the user cannot grasp at which timing the opportunity of selection arises next. Accordingly, there is a possibility that strategic characteristics cannot be sufficiently secured because the selection cannot be made also in view of the opportunity of selection to be provided next time and thereafter. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a non-transitory storage medium storing a computer program for a game, and the like, capable of increasing interest of the game by providing moderate regularity and predictiveness in provision of an opportunity of selection by a user. Solution to Problem A non-transitory storage medium according to one aspect of the present invention is the non-transitory storage medium storing a computer program for a game for, by causing a computer of a game system to serve as a match calculation unit that calculates an action of each of objects of a user and an opponent within a predetermined field to cause a match between the user and the opponent to proceed, providing by the computer the game in which a first turn that becomes an offensive side of the match and a second turn that becomes a defensive side of the match occur to switch between the user and the opponent on the basis of a calculation result of the action, wherein the computer program is configured to cause the computer to serve as a selection opportunity provision unit that suspends actions of the objects in conjunction with switching of the first turn and the second turn and provides an opportunity of selection regarding the match to the user, and a calculation control unit that controls calculation of the match calculation unit so that the selection by the user is reflected in the calculation by the match calculation unit within a target period until switching of the first turn and the second turn occurs next. A game system according to one aspect of the present invention is the game system comprising a computer that serves as a match calculation unit that causes a match between a user and an opponent to proceed by calculating an action of each of objects of the user and the opponent within a predetermined field and provides by the computer a game in which a first turn which becomes an offensive side of the match and a second turn which becomes a defensive side of the match occur to switch between the user and the opponent on the basis of a calculation result of the action, wherein the game system is configured to cause the computer to further serve as a selection opportunity provision unit that suspends actions of the objects in conjunction with switching of the first turn and the second turn and provides an opportunity of selection regarding the match to the user, and a calculation control unit that controls calculation by the match calculation unit so that the selection by the user is reflected in the calculation by the match calculation unit within a target period until switching of the first turn and the second turn occurs next. A control method for a game system according to one aspect of the present invention is the control method for the game system for, by causing a computer of the game system to serve as a match calculation unit that causes a match between a user and an opponent to proceed by calculating an action of each of objects of the user and the opponent within a predetermined field, providing by the computer a game in which a first turn that becomes an offensive side of the
