Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mahjong game system and a mahjong game program which assist the judgement of a player in the formation of tiles in hand, based on the tiles in hand of the player. SOLUTION: The player operates a button which is determined in advance of this mahjong game system by a desired timing during a mahjong game. In response to this action, the mahjong game system detects 'tahtsu' (serial tiles) (a 3-soh (bamboo mark), a 6-pin (round mark), and a chun (red Chinese character)) which are required to constitute a winning combination from the tiles in hand of the player, and replenishes the same tiles to make the 'tahtsu' (serial tiles) into 'kohtsu' (triplet tiles), and 'sanankoh', which is the winning combination, is formed. In addition, tile combinations for members of sections other than the winning combination are formed, and a target combination of tiles 44 in hand is formed. Then, the target combination of tiles 44 in hand is displayed next to the tiles 31 in hand of the player. As a result, even when the player is a beginner, the completed combination of tiles in hand at the time of 'hora' (winning) can be easily imaged.

Description of the Related Art In a mahjong game machine, a player's hand and discard tiles and the discard tiles of three opponent characters controlled by a computer are displayed, and the player and the opponent character are allowed to repeat the tile drawing and discarding operations. Is progressing mahjong by. When a player who plays such a mahjong game device is a beginner, the player brings his or her hand closer to the agari type while looking at the reference hand shown in the explanation book of the mahjong rule or the like. In recent years, a mahjong game device having a commentary function for explaining rules such as the role of mahjong in Agari has been put on the market so that a novice player does not have to open a commentary book. In this type of mahjong game machine, for example, when aiming at, for example, three colors in the same order from one's own tile, the commentary function is used to display a diagram and explanation of the reference tiles including the three colors in the same order. It has become so. The player creates his or her own tiles while sorting through the tiles so that, for example, the three-color same order is completed for his or her tiles while looking at the diagrams and explanations displayed by the mahjong game device.

[0003]

However, in the case of such a mahjong game device, since the player merely displays one example of the reference tiles including the Agari character in the commentary book, the player himself or herself. There was a problem that it was difficult to understand how to create the Agari part shown from the tile to the reference tile. That is, the reference hand tile and the player's own hand tile have a significantly different structure such as the type of tile, and especially for a beginner player, if he / she decides which tile of the hand tile he / she wants to throw away, he / she can refer to the reference hand. There was a problem that it was difficult to judge whether it would be the role of Agari indicated by the tiles.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a mahjong game device and a mahjong game program for assisting the player in making a hand tile based on the hand tile of the player.

It is the data in which the composition conditions and the tile composition conditions other than the combination part; combination composition information) are associated. The execution of these various programs and the use of data will be described later with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

Next, in order to facilitate understanding of the processing (flowchart described later) in the game apparatus 1, FIGS.
An outline of the mahjong game according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the mahjong game screens shown in FIGS. 10 to 12 (hereinafter simply referred to as “game screen”). 5 is a diagram showing a normal game screen, FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a game screen in which a window for enabling or disabling the advice function is displayed, and FIG. 7 is a window for selecting an aim. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a game screen when displaying, FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a game screen when displaying a plurality of types of Agari, and FIG. 9 is a game screen when displaying a target hand tile. FIG. 10 and 11 are diagrams showing a game screen for instructing the player to discard tiles after turning on the advice function, and FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a game screen when a new target tile is displayed. is there. In the mahjong game played on the game device 1, a plurality of game machines 1 are connected to connect a player to another player (an opponent).
There may be a case in which the players and the computer control a single game machine 1 between the player and the computer, but in the present embodiment, three players are controlled by the player and the computer. A case of playing mahjong against the fighting characters A, B, and C will be described.

In FIG. 5, in the normal game screen, that is, until the player or one of the fighting characters finishes or plays a game, the player and each of the fighting characters A, B, and C sequentially win / destroy (desire). , Pong, Qi, etc.) A screen for advancing the game is displayed. Reference numeral 30 indicates a game screen displayed on the LCD 12. On the game screen 30, a player's hand tile 31 (reference numeral 31a is an own tile) and a discard tile 3 on the player side (bottom side of the screen).
2 is displayed, and the discard 33 of the fighting character A is displayed on the right side of the screen.
Is displayed, the discarding tile 34 of the battle character B is displayed on the upper side of the screen, the discarding tile 35 of the battle character C is displayed on the left side of the screen, and a dora (nine pin in the figure) or the like is displayed in the center of the screen. The game screen 30 shown in FIG. 5 shows a state in which the first round of tiles has been drawn and discarded, and the second round has the player voluntarily play the tiles 31a.

At this time, the player must at least discard one of the tiles in the hand tile 31 in order to reach the completion. However, for example, when the player is a beginner, the player often does not know what kind of tile should be discarded from the present hand tile 31 to make the Agari part. Also, it is difficult to judge what kind of Agari role to aim from the hand tile 31. In such a case, the player presses, for example, the C button 14e of the game machine 1 that executes the mahjong game program according to the present invention. Then, as shown in the game screen 30 of FIG. 6, a window 40 for turning on or off the technical support, that is, the advice function is displayed. Here, the player selects "advice ON" in the window 40 to enable the advice function. Note that the advice function has already been turned on, and the player turns on the advice function.
When FF is desired, the advice function is disabled by selecting "Advice OFF".

When "Advice ON" is selected, as shown in the game screen 30 of FIG. 7, a window 41 for deciding the aim for making the Agari part from the player's current hand tile 31 is displayed. Is displayed. In this window 41, "early Agari-focused" for selecting an Agari combination that is completed in a short time (has a smaller number of listenings) or a larger score can be obtained when it rises (higher number of inversions).
One of the commands of "higher hand emphasis" for selecting the Agari combination is selected ("early Agari emphasis" is selected in FIG. 7). The command is selected by selecting the command type with, for example, the cross key 14c and determining the command with, for example, the A button 14f.

When "Emphasis on early agari" is selected, as shown in FIG.
A window 42 for selecting a candidate for the Agari combination, which is an Agari combination that can be made from the hand tiles 31 and which has the smallest number of hearings, is displayed. The window 42 displays the Agari combination and the number of tiles required to complete the Agari combination. In FIG. 8, the player has selected, for example, a command of “three dark engravings” as the Agari part.

When the Agari combination in the window 42 is selected, the tile included in the tile 31 displays the target tile included in the tile configuration of the Agari combination, as shown in FIG. Window 43 for doing
Is displayed. In the window 43, a target tile 44 reflecting the tiles 31, a first mark 45 for clearly indicating the tiles necessary for the combination of tiles for the Agari role and not included in the tiles 31, and the Agari role Second to specify the tiles that make up the
Marks 46 and comments such as the marks are displayed. With these displays, the player's current hand tile 3
In No. 1, it is possible to intuitively and easily understand which tile is necessary or unnecessary for making Agari. Also,
By selecting "Yes" from "Will you give me guidance to dispose of tiles" in window 43?
On the game screen of 0, a discard mark 50 for instructing discard to efficiently bring the tile 31 close to the target tile 44 is displayed. This allows the player to throw away unnecessary tiles and bring them closer to the target hand tile 44 efficiently. If "No" is selected, the discard mark 50 is not displayed. In addition, when the advice function is enabled,
For example, L switch 14b at any timing during the game
By operating, the window 43 is displayed,
The player always has his own current hand tile 31 and target hand tile 4
You can see the difference of 4.

Furthermore, if the player is a beginner, he / she may be unfamiliar with the operation of the mahjong game.
In some cases, the tile (for example, "medium") 51 of the Agari part included in the target tile 44 is accidentally discarded as shown in FIG. In such a case, it becomes impossible to make a hand tile with the target hand tile 44 displayed in the window 43 described in FIG. 9 as a target. Therefore, in the case of the mah-jongg game of the present invention, the player operates the L switch 14b again so that a new target hand based on the player's current hand tile 61 "medium" is discarded. The tiles are generated and shown in FIG.
As shown in, a new target tile 52 is displayed in the window 43. The target mark 52 has a first mark 45 and a second mark 45.
A mark 46 is also displayed. In this way, since the target hand tile is generated and displayed based on the hand tile when the player operates the L switch, it becomes possible for the player to sequentially refer to the present hand tile and the target hand tile. Therefore, even a beginner player can play the mahjong game relatively accurately and promptly like an advanced player. Further, in order to guide the player's own tile to the target tile, the player is instructed to discard the tile in the tile, so that the mahjong game can be played more easily.

The processing performed by the game device 1 in the above mahjong game will be described below with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. FIG. 13 is a flow chart regarding the main processing from the start to the end of the mahjong game, FIG. 14 is a flow chart regarding the advice setting processing, FIG. 15 is a flow chart regarding the generation / display processing of the aiming hand, and FIGS. It is a flow chart about generation and display processing of a tile.

When the cartridge 2 is mounted on the game apparatus 1 and the power is turned on, the CPU 10 starts the execution of the main program 21a of the program ROM 21 mounted on the cartridge 2 to start the mahjong game.
In step (abbreviated as "S" in the figure) 1, the player and each of the fighting characters are dealt with and the dora is turned over. At this time, the data of the mountain tiles, the data of each hand tile, and the like are written in the work RAM 15. Although detailed description is omitted, parent determination and other processing are also performed. Then, in the order of counterclockwise rotation, the tiles are drawn and discarded by the parents.
Step 2 is, for example, L switch 14b depending on the player.
Will not be executed until is operated, and step 3 will not be executed until, for example, the C button 14e is operated.

First, in step 4, the process of step 5 is selected until the player turns the tiles. In step 5, the control processing program 21b of each of the fighting characters A to C is executed, so that each of the fighting characters A to C is subjected to self-raising and discarding (pulling / discarding) processing, and the fighting character is determined to be self-responding. When you pull)
The data of the tiles is updated so that the tiles are removed from the tiles that have been self-employed, and the tile data and the hand tile data of the discarded battle character are updated. In step 7,
Image information based on the updated data in the work RAM 15 is generated, and a game screen based on the image information is displayed (see FIG. 5).

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S4 that it is the player's turn, the process of step 6 is selected.
In step 6, for example, a screen (not shown) for prompting the player to take pride and discard is displayed, and the player operates pride and discard. In accordance with the self-raising and discarding operations, the mountain tile data, the player's hand tile data, and the player's discard tile data are updated. Then, in step 7, the game screen on which the discard discarded by the player is reflected is displayed (see FIG. 5). In the following step 8, the mahjong game is progressed by repeating the processing of steps 4 to 7 until the flow station, the completion or the power is turned off.

The player wants to receive a computer's advice as to what kind of Agari role can be made from the present hand tile 31 (see FIG. 5) at a desired point during the progress of the mahjong game. At this time, the player presses a predetermined C button 14e, for example. Then, in step S3, step 9 is selected. In step 9, the window 40 shown in FIG.
It is displayed at 0 and prompts the player to select whether the advice function is valid or invalid. In step 10, when the player wants to enable the advice function, "Advice O
"N" is indicated and you want to disable it, "Advice OF
"F" is designated. In step 11, when "advice OFF" is instructed in step 10, the process of step 12 is selected, and when "advice ON" is instructed, the process of step 13 is selected. In step 12, for example, a flag (not shown) indicating the validity of the advice function stored in the work RAM 15 is cleared and the advice function is invalidated. On the other hand, step 1
3, the advice setting process shown in steps 21 to 26 of FIG. 14 is executed.

In step 21, the window 41 shown in FIG. 7 is displayed. In the following step 22,
Depending on the player, "Emphasis on early Agari" or "Emphasis on high role"
Either one of them is designated (selected). Then, in step 23, the aim generation display program 21c is executed, and the window 42 shown in FIG. 8, for example, is displayed in accordance with the selected aim. Specifically, steps 31 to 38 shown in FIG. 15 are executed.

Now, steps 31 to 38 will be described. In step 31, Agari combination data 21e
(See FIG. 4) is read from the program ROM 21 and stored in the work RAM 15. In step 32, first, the face composition of the current hand tile, whether or not it is in front of the face, etc. are checked, and the Agari hand which cannot be agari from the current hand tile is deleted from the list. That is, the player's hand tile data stored in the work RAM 15 and the Agari combination data 21.
Based on the candidate condition data included in e, only the Agari combination that does not match the candidate condition is deleted from the list. In step 33, based on the data of the discard tiles and the sub-exposure tiles (the tiles that have been revealed in the field) in the work RAM 15, the Agari-prohibited Agari combination is deleted. In other words, if all the tiles that make up the Agari combination and are not included in the player's hand tiles are included in the discard tile and the sub-exposure tile,
Since the Agari part including the tile cannot be established, the Agari part including such a tile is deleted from the list as the Agari character that cannot be Agari. Specifically, when the Agari combination has the same three-color order that is established only with 1, 2, and 3, if four 1-pins are flipped as the discard tile and the sub-exposure tile, the three-color same order is established. Since there is no such thing, I am processing to delete this Agari combination of three colors from the list. Step 34
In, in regard to each Agari-combination that remains in the list, the number of hearings of each Agari-combination is calculated, and Agari-combination more than the predetermined number of hearings is deleted from the list. That is, the apparently unrealistic Agari combination is removed from the candidates by calculating the number of tiles that completes the Agari combination and deleting the Agari combination whose number exceeds the predetermined number. In step 35,
The method of sorting the Agari combination on the list is changed according to "Emphasis on early Agari" or "Emphasis on high combination". That is, in step 10, it is identified whether “early Agari-oriented” or “high hand-oriented” is designated (selected),
When the "high priority is emphasized", the process of step 36 is selected, and when the "early agar emphasis" is selected, the process of step 37 is selected. When "higher hand value" is selected, in step 36, the data is sorted in descending order of the number of reversals based on the reversal data of the Agari combination data 21e. On the other hand, when "Emphasis on early Agari" is selected, in step 37, sorting is performed in the ascending order of the number of listenings calculated in step 34. In step 38, a window 42 displaying, for example, the top five sorted lists of Agari is displayed (see FIG. 8).

Step 23 described above (steps 31 to 3)
The window 42 (see FIG. 8) displayed in 8) prompts an instruction (selection) of the Agari combination. In step 24, the player selects a desired Agari combination (for example, "three dark engravings") from the list of Agari combinations. In response to this, in step 26, the target hand tile generation display program 21d (see FIG. 4) is executed, and the target hand tile 44 reflecting the hand tile 31 is generated and displayed. Specifically, steps 41 to 54 of FIGS. 16 and 17 are executed.

Here, steps 41 to 54 will be described. In step 41, the tile composition condition data (see FIG. 4) of the Agari winning combination portion of the target winning combination selected in step 24 (for example, three dark engravings; see FIG. 8) is read. In step 42, the player's hand tiles of the current player are compared with the read tile configuration information to retrieve the face needed for the Agari combination. For example, in the case of three renditions, it is well known that three sets of renditions are required to complete the Agari combination. Therefore, work RA
Using the data of the hand tiles of the player in M15 as a target, three sets of memorization are searched. Also, for example, in the case of peace, one set of sparrow heads and four sets of Junko are searched, and in the case of seven pairs, for example,
Search for 7 pairs of children. In the following step 43, it is determined whether or not a face that matches the tile construction condition of the Agari part has been detected. If the face cannot be detected, the process of step 44 is selected. If the face is detected, the process of step 48 is performed. Select a process.

First, steps 44 to 47 will be described below. In step 44, the player's hand tiles are searched in order to make a face needed to satisfy the tile-constituting condition of the Agari part, and first, the tiles such as knives, Junko, pair and Toko for making one face are searched. Detect pairs or tiles. Here, when the tiles that make up the role of Agari are made up of two tiles such as pair and tower, or when the tiles are already finished with three tiles such as engraved and Junko. Since it is not necessary to supplement a new tile with respect to the tile combination in this case, the processing of steps 45 to 47 is not performed. However, in most cases of receiving advice, the face of the role of Agari has not been completed, so this case will be mainly explained. That is, in the case of a tile group in which the face for the role of Agari has not been completed, it is necessary to supplement the tiles to complete the face, and therefore the processes of steps 45 to 47 need to be performed. For example, if three colors are in the same order, first, the tiles for one facet Junko or Tako are detected. . Here, if no tile set can be detected, or if a face is completed with only two tiles, such as the seven pairs, a single tile for making a face is selected (for example, appearing in the field. Select the tiles with the fewest numbers). Specifically, referring to FIG. 9, in step 44, a player's hand tile 31 is first detected as a pair of pairs of 3 sows, 6 pins, or middle pairs. . In the following step 45,
Based on the detected tiles, it is determined how many ways to establish a face. If there are two or more ways, steps 46 and 47 are executed, and if there is one way, step 4 is performed.
7 is executed. For example, if the tower has 2 or 3 pins, the supplementary tile is 1 or 4 pins, so in this case 2
When the street face is established, steps 46 and 47 are executed. On the other hand, for example, if the pair of children is 3 saws, there are only 3 tiles that can be complemented, so in this case, one face is established, and step 47 is executed. Continued Step 46
In, the data of the discard tiles and the sub-exposure tiles are searched, and the tile which is easier for the player to play is selected. For example, in the case of the above-mentioned two- and three-pin tower, when two 1-pins are found in the field and no one 3-pins are found, a process of selecting a tile to supplement 3 pins I do. Continued Step 47
In, the tiles necessary for the formation of the face are supplemented and the face is completed. For example, when the pair of 3 saws is detected in step 44, the 3 saws are supplemented in step 47. As a result, 3 sorrows are produced. By repeating the above steps 43 to 47, for example, a face of three saws, 6 pins, and three dark engravings (agari part) is completed (see FIG. 9). In addition, like peace,
If you want to play Agari with all the tiles, go to step 4 above.
The target hand tile is completed by 3-47.

Next, step 48 and subsequent steps will be described. When all the faces of the Agari part have been completed, the process of step 48 is selected in step 43. In step 48, it is determined whether or not the target hand tile composed of 14 tiles is completed, and when the target hand tile is not completed, the process of step 49 is started, and the target hand tile is completed. At this time, the process of step 54 is started. For example, in the case of the three dark engravings, since the part other than the part of Agari in the target hand tile is not yet prepared as a face, steps 49 to 53 are performed to complete the part other than the part of Agari as a face.
The process of is executed. On the other hand, for example, in the case of peace, since the target hand tile has been completed, the processing after step 54 is executed.

In steps 49 to 53, the face of the part other than the Agari combination is generated by almost the same processing as in steps 42 and 44 to 47, and the target hand tile is completed. In brief, in step 49, the hand tile is searched and facets other than the role of Agari included in the hand tile (pairs and spears that form sparrow heads) are detected. For example, only one pair of sparrow heads of the Goman is detected from the tile structure other than the three dark engravings (see FIG. 9). In the following step 50, the tile group and / or tiles necessary for generating a face other than the role of Agari in the hand tile are detected. For example, it detects 1,2,000 Toshiko. The following step 51 is step 45 and step 52
Since step 46 and step 53 are substantially the same as step 47, respectively, description thereof will be omitted. By executing steps 49 to 53, the target hand tile 44 shown in FIG. 9, for example, is generated. And step 54
In, a window 43 including the target hand tile 44 is displayed on the game screen 30 so that the target hand tile 44 is displayed above the player's hand tile 31. At this time, further, in step 54, the first mark 45 is displayed on the tiles supplemented by the Agari combination part in step 47, and the second mark 46 is displayed on each of the tiles of the Agari combination part. Although the target hand tile 44 is displayed above the player's hand tile 31 in the present embodiment, the target hand tile 44 does not necessarily have to have such a mode. For example, only the target hand tile 44 is displayed. May be displayed on the game screen 30, or the target hand tile 44 and the hand tile 31 may be arranged side by side. Further, although there is no particular description about erasing the window 43 from the game screen 30, it is possible to erase the window 43 by operating the B button 14g or the like, or disappear when a predetermined time has elapsed. To do so. When the process of step 54 described above is completed, all steps in step 25 are completed, and the next step 26 is executed (see FIG. 14). In step 26, a flag for enabling the advice function is set (for example, flag data is written in the work RAM 15), and all steps in step 13 are completed.
Return to the main flow chart.

By the way, if there is an instruction to display the target tile (for example, the L switch 14b is operated) while the advice function is enabled, the instruction is detected in step 2 and the processing in steps 13 to 15 is performed. (See FIG. 13). In step 13, it is determined whether the advice is ON or OFF, that is, whether the flag is set. That is, when the flag is not set, since the player's desired Agari combination has not been selected yet, nothing is displayed and the process returns to the main flow chart. On the other hand, when the flag is set, the processing of the following step 14 is performed, and the data of the Agari combination held (set) in the work RAM 15 is read. In the following step 15, the player's hand tile 61 at that time
A target tile 52 based on and the Agari combination is generated and displayed (see FIG. 12). Note that the processing in step 15 is the same as that in step 25 described above, so description thereof will be omitted. In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the generation of the target hand tile including a single Agari hand has been described, but the present invention is a target hand tile that combines a plurality of Agari hands (for example, Tanyaochu + It can also be applied to peace, mixed color + harmony, etc.).

As is clear from the above description, in the game device (mahjong game device) which executes the mahjong game program to which the present invention is applied, the target hand tile in which the hand tile at the time desired by the player is reflected is the target hand tile. Is displayed,
Even a beginner player can easily imagine the completed hand tile upon completion. As a result, even when a player who has experienced mahjong to a certain degree competes with a beginner player, the difference in skill level between the player and the experienced player can be reduced. Also, when the advice function is effective,
For example, since the target hand tile is immediately displayed only by operating the L switch 14b, it is possible to reduce the delay in the progress of the mahjong game. For example, when a plurality of game devices 1 are used to play a mahjong game by a plurality of people, a beginner's play is reduced, and thus the mahjong game can proceed smoothly.

A step for determining whether or not the advice function is effective is inserted between step 4 and step 6 (when the player draws / discards the turn), and the advice function is effective. At the time of, by adding a step of instructing (explaining) unnecessary tiles (tiles in the tiles not included in the target tiles) as discard tiles,
The discard mark 50 of FIGS. 10 and 11 can be displayed. By doing so, it is possible to play more quickly. These steps correspond to the step of instructing the player about the function and discard of the discard tile instructing means in the present invention.
