Description

  The present invention relates to a display processing method for a game device that plays a game on a display screen by operating an operation key, a game device, a storage medium, and a game program. The present invention relates to a display processing method for a game device, a game device, a storage medium, and a game program.

  With the spread of electronic games in recent years, it has become possible to use in various portable game machines and portable devices such as mobile phones. In such a portable game device, since the display screen is small and the amount of display information is more limited than that of a normal video game, it is a problem to describe contents to be conveyed on a small screen.

  For example, in an electronic game that handles characters, displaying a text document at the same time is necessary for the progress and understanding of the game. In particular, in the adventure game, there are various views of the world, and technical terms are an important position in the progress of the game.

  For example, if there is a description of kanji that is difficult to read or meaning, it is necessary for the game player to understand the phrase. It would be good if reading and contents could be displayed on the display screen of the game machine to understand such words, but that would consume character display space.

On the other hand, in the field of personal computers, etc., it has a dictionary of display icons and conversion characters, and by clicking on the display icon or pressing a character conversion key, the contents of the display icon, conversion character candidates and meanings can be displayed in a pop-up manner. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
JP-A-3-144719 (FIG. 5)

  However, in the prior art, necessary dictionary contents are displayed for fixed items such as display icons and conversion characters. Therefore, in the progress of the game, the player is not able to display display phrases that change as the electronic game progresses. It is difficult to give a dictionary function to a lexical word that seems to be necessary.

  That is, in a game that handles characters, there are individual differences in player knowledge and play style, and there are many technical terms for text display necessary for game progress in a limited display information area. For this reason, for the players who are familiar with the game content, the text display required for the game progress is sufficient, while for the players who are not familiar with the game content, the reading and meaning of technical terms understand the game, and play the game. Necessary for progress.

  In response to this conflicting request, in the above-described conventional technology, it is difficult to display the text of a game that makes the game interested in all players, and the game proceeds in accordance with the player's individual understanding level. It is difficult.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a display processing method for a game device, a game device, a storage medium, and a game program for adding a dictionary function that can be selected by a player to a necessary phrase of a game message accompanying the progress of the game. There is.

  Another object of the present invention is to add a dictionary function to a necessary phrase of a game message as the game progresses, and to display a game device display processing method for progressing the game in accordance with the player's individual understanding level. Another object is to provide a game device, a storage medium, and a game program.

  Furthermore, another object of the present invention is to display a word / phrase having a dictionary function for a game message as the game progresses on a player so that the dictionary function can be easily used, a game apparatus display processing method, a memory device, and a memory It is to provide a medium and a game program.

  In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a display processing method for a game device in which a game program is executed by a player's operation and a game is progressed, and screen data corresponding to the game scenario and the scenario are stored from the storage medium. Reading script data including sentence data to be displayed correspondingly; analyzing the sentence data; determining whether a lexical word given a dictionary reference function is included; the screen data and the sentence data Are displayed on the display so that the lexical phrase given the dictionary reference function can be visually distinguished from other lexical phrases, and the dictionary reference function is changed according to the first selection operation of the player. Refer to the first display data having a relatively simple dictionary contents of the lexical in the given lexical, and display the display A step of displaying the first display data of the illuminated lexical word, and a lexical word given the dictionary reference function according to a second selection operation of the player during the display of the first display data, Referring to second display data having a relatively complex dictionary content of the lexical phrase, and displaying the second display data of the referenced lexical phrase on the display.

  Further, the present invention is preferably based on the game scenario when the player does not perform the selection operation while the screen and the text are displayed on the display. The game further includes a step of progressing the game based on script data.

  Also, in the present invention, it is preferable that the first display step includes a step of displaying on the display the readiness that is the dictionary contents of the lexical phrase according to the first selection operation of the player. The display step includes a step of displaying an explanation as a dictionary content in the lexical phrase on the display in accordance with a second selection operation of the player.

  In the present invention, it is also preferable that the reading step reads script data including screen data having character designation data corresponding to the game scenario and sentence data to be displayed corresponding to the scenario from the storage medium. The determination step determines whether the character designation data and a lexical word given a dictionary reference function related to the designated character are included at the time of the sentence data analysis, and according to the decision result And a step of selecting dictionary data having different dictionary contents.

  The game device, storage medium, and game program of the present invention have the same configuration.

  In the present invention, the text of the game scenario is displayed on the display so that the lexical phrase given the dictionary reference function can be visually distinguished from other lexical phrases, and the dictionary reference function is given according to the player's selection operation. The dictionary data having the dictionary contents of the lexical word is referred to, and the dictionary contents of the lexical word referred to in the display are displayed. Therefore, the game can proceed according to the player's understanding level, and further, the game can proceed according to the player's playing style. Further, since the dictionary reference is provided, the amount of text to be displayed can be reduced as a whole, and the game tempo is dramatically improved. Furthermore, since a relatively simple content and a relatively complicated content are selected and displayed in two stages according to the player's selection, the game can be advanced in detail according to the player's level of understanding.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in the order of a game device, a storage medium, a game dictionary display process, and other embodiments.

** Game devices and storage media **
FIG. 1 is an external view of an embodiment of a game device according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the game device of FIG. 1, showing a portable game machine as an example.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the game apparatus 10 includes a display (display screen) 112, control keys 115, and operation keys 105. The control key 115 is composed of a cross key, and performs a selection operation necessary for the progress of the game, such as movement and selection of a character on the display screen 112.

  An operation key (also referred to as a function key) 105 selects items on the current screen of the game display screen 112 such as determination, cancellation, and progress. Here, the operation key 105 includes four buttons 105A to 105D and one side button 105E. In this portable game machine, the size of the display screen 112 is, for example, about 2.5 inches.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the game apparatus 10 is executed by a CPU (Central Processor Unit) 101 that controls the whole, a boot ROM (Read Only Memory) 104 that stores a program for starting the game apparatus 10, and the CPU 101. A system memory 102 for storing an image generation program to be executed and other programs and data.

  The game apparatus 10 may be a game information processing apparatus such as a portable personal computer that can execute a program such as a game, a game apparatus, or a communication apparatus such as a mobile phone.

  The image generation program and data executed by the CPU 101 include a program and data for generating and controlling an image to be displayed in addition to a program and data for controlling a game.

  In order to generate an image to be displayed, polygon data (vertex data) and NURBS data (curved surface and control point data) having three-dimensional local coordinate data constituting an object to be displayed are stored in the system memory 102. The CPU 101 and the geometry processor (not shown) are arranged in the world coordinate system of the three-dimensional virtual space to convert the local coordinates into the world coordinate system.

  Furthermore, a viewpoint coordinate generated as a player's operation or a game progresses is set in the world coordinate system, and an object in a visual field range viewed from the viewpoint in a predetermined viewing direction and angle of view is set as a viewpoint coordinate. Conversion to the viewpoint coordinate system with the origin is performed, and the converted coordinates of the object are transmitted to the rendering processor 107.

  The rendering processor 107 first applies interpolation processing such as light source processing or the texture data stored in the graphic memory 108 to the object to detail the surface of the object with respect to the received object coordinates.

  Further, the rendering processor 107 projects an object (polygon) on a two-dimensional plane (screen) and converts it into two-dimensional coordinate data (screen coordinate system) for display on the display means 112 from a three-dimensional solid object. A two-dimensional image is generated so as to display preferentially from a polygon having a shallow Z coordinate, that is, a polygon close to the viewpoint coordinate, and this is output to a display 112 such as a liquid crystal device. That is, the CPU 101 and the rendering processor 107 are controlled by the image generation program and function as the image generation unit 117.

  The game apparatus 10 is provided with input means such as the operation input switch 105 and the control key 115 shown in FIG. 1, and the operation of the characters in the screen (described in FIG. 6) is performed by the control key 115.

  Furthermore, the game apparatus 10 is provided with a sound processor 109 that generates sound and a sound memory 110 that stores data of the generated sound. The sound processor 109 is based on the data stored in the sound memory 110. An audio digital signal is generated, and the audio is output by the speaker 113 and headphones (not shown).

  Similarly, the game apparatus 10 is provided with a program data storage device and a storage medium (memory card, CD-ROM, DVD, etc.) 103, and the game program and data stored in the storage medium 103 are stored in the system memory 102, graphics. The data is read into the memory 108 and the sound memory 110.

  These storage media include optically readable media such as CD-ROM and DVD-ROM, and electrically readable media such as mask ROM and flash memory.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of script data stored in the storage medium, and FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of dictionary data stored in the storage medium. As shown in FIG. 3, the script data is composed of a plurality of script data 103A according to the game scenario, and the script data on one screen includes BGM data that designates a playback sound (Back Ground Music) by a management number, BG (Back Ground) data that designates the display background by a management number, CHARA (Character) data that designates the display position, type, coordinates, and facial expression of the character to be displayed; Text data that indicates the text document to be displayed by character code; Consists of.

  Here, in the text data, the start of the lexical phrase using the dictionary function is designated by “[” and the end of the lexical phrase is designated by “]”. That is, it is specified in a tag format. In FIG. 3, the phrase referring to the dictionary function is “manipulation” of the Chinese character.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, the dictionary data 103B includes SCR data indicating the reference lexical phrase (manual adjustment in FIG. 3) in the script data 103A and yomi indicating its display data (in FIG. 4, tekagen). Data and text data indicating the dictionary contents (meaning) of the lexical word.

  A dictionary reference subroutine is provided in the game program for referring to the dictionary of the specified lexical phrase in the script data 103A.

* Game dictionary display process *
FIG. 5 is a game process flow diagram of one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is an operation explanatory diagram thereof. Hereinafter, the process of FIG. 5 will be described with reference to FIG.

  (S10) The CPU 101 reads the boot program from the boot ROM 104, starts the main program when the apparatus is turned on (power switch (not shown)), and stores script data 103A and dictionary data 103B of the game scenario of the game program in the storage medium 103. To the system memory 102.

  (S12) The CPU 101 starts the script program by reading the script data 103A.

  (S14) This script data 103A is a character string and a picture instruction sequence as shown in FIG. In the analysis of the script data, the CPU 101 determines whether there is a part enclosed in parentheses (tag) in the display character string (text in FIG. 3). If there is no part enclosed in parentheses (tag), the script data is sent to the rendering processor 107 and displayed on the display 103. If there is a part enclosed in parentheses, the CPU 101 searches if there is a character string enclosed in parentheses in the dictionary data 103B. If there is no character string enclosed in parentheses in the dictionary data 103B, the parenthesis is regarded as a parenthesis of character expression, and the script data is sent to the rendering processor 107 and displayed on the display 103.

  (S16) On the other hand, if there is a character string enclosed in parentheses in the dictionary data 103B, the CPU 101 changes the color of the token enclosed in parentheses to the color of another character string (for example, (Red), parentheses are taken, and the script data is sent to the rendering processor 107 and displayed on the display 103. For example, in the screen G1 of FIG. 6, a sentence is displayed below the background image and the character, the character “Shinobi” of the sentence is displayed in red indicating that it has a dictionary function, and the other characters are displayed in black. Is done. Thereby, a lexical phrase having a dictionary function is displayed so that it can be visually identified.

  (S18) The CPU 101 determines whether a dictionary mode button (for example, the side key 105E in FIG. 1) is pressed during the display of the red characters. If the key is not pressed within a predetermined time or the progress key (for example, the function key 105A) is pressed, the process returns to step S14, the next script data is analyzed according to the game scenario, and the game proceeds (for example, the next key) Is displayed).

  (S20) On the other hand, if the CPU 101 determines that the dictionary mode button has been pressed, the CPU 101 starts a dictionary subroutine, and extracts “reading” and “explanatory text”, which are data of the designated word / phrase in the dictionary data 103B.

  (S22) The CPU 101 activates the reading mode and sends the furnishings (here, Shinobi) of the dictionary data 103B to the rendering processor 107 as shown in the screen G2 in FIG. To do.

  (S24) The CPU 101 determines whether a dictionary mode button (for example, the side key 105E in FIG. 1) is pressed during the display of the phonetic characters. If not pressed within the predetermined time, the process returns to step S14, the next script data is analyzed according to the game scenario, and the game proceeds (for example, the next sentence is displayed).

  (S26) On the other hand, when determining that the dictionary mode button has been pressed, the CPU 101 determines whether there is a dictionary mode activation instruction. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, it is determined whether or not the specific key 105D (“A” button) of the function key 105 of FIG. 1 is pressed. When the CPU 101 determines that the dictionary mode activation button has been pressed, it activates the dictionary mode, and sends “Yomigana” and “descriptive text”, which are the data of the designated words in the dictionary data 103B, to the rendering processor 107, and FIG. As shown in G3 of FIG. 5, the background of the display 103, the character, and the text display area.

  (S28) If the CPU 101 determines that the dictionary mode start button has been pressed again or another function key (for example, the “B” button 105C) has been pressed, the CPU 101 ends the dictionary mode and returns to the reading mode of step S22. .

  In this way, in the game program that displays the picture display and the text, the lexical phrase that refers to the dictionary is specified in the text, and the data of the specified phrase in the dictionary data 103B is “Yomigana”, “Explanatory text”. Is stored. And, in the analysis of script data, the specified words and phrases in the sentence can be extracted, and when displaying the picture screen and sentences on the display screen, the dictionary can be referred to by changing the color of the specified words and phrases to the color of other words Is recognized by the player.

  The player can ignore this and proceed with the game, or press the function key to refer to the dictionary. For this reason, a game can be advanced according to a player's understanding level. Also, in the dictionary reference, a reading mode and a dictionary mode are provided, and the player can select a first display mode in which the player wants to know the reading and a second display mode in which the user wants to know the contents of the dictionary. Thereby, the game can be further advanced in accordance with the player's playing style.

  Further, since the dictionary reference is provided, the amount of text to be displayed can be reduced as a whole, and the game tempo is dramatically improved. This is particularly effective for games that require writing, such as adventure games with a difficult world view. Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the tag format is specified, it is possible to determine whether or not to refer to the target word dictionary when script data is created. The player can read the explanation as intended by the producer.

  Moreover, since a word or phrase intended to be referred to the dictionary is simply input by text and given a tag, it can be created as part of the text input operation. Therefore, script data can be easily created when the amount of text is relatively small.

* Other embodiments *
FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram of another embodiment of script data and dictionary data stored in a storage medium. As shown in FIG. 7, similar to FIG. 3, the script data is composed of a plurality of script data 103A according to the game scenario, and the script data on one screen indicates the sound to be reproduced (Back Ground Music) with a management number. BGM data to be specified, BG (Back Ground) data to specify the display background with a management number, CHARA (Character) data to specify the display position, type, coordinates, and expression of the character to be displayed, and the text document to be displayed to the character It consists of text data indicated by a code.

  Here, in the text data, the start of the lexical phrase using the dictionary function is designated by “[” and the end of the lexical phrase is designated by “]”. That is, it is specified in a tag format. In FIG. 7, the phrase referring to the dictionary function is “manipulation” of the Chinese character.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, the dictionary data includes two dictionary data 103B-1 and 103B-2 for each designated character. Both dictionary data 103B-1 and 103B-2 are SCR data indicating reference lexicons (scripted in FIG. 7) in script data 103A, and yomi data indicating the display data (in FIG. 7, tickling). , And text data indicating the dictionary contents (meaning) of the lexical phrase.

  The contents of the text data of the first dictionary data 103B-1 and the text data of the second dictionary data 103B-2 are different. If the above-mentioned reference lexical phrase is described as “manual”, the first dictionary data 103B-1 is that the text data is “how to apply force and how to move when operating with a hand”. The text data of the second dictionary data 103B-2 is “adjust appropriately according to the degree of the other party and the circumstances at that time.

  The selection of the dictionary data 103B-1 and 103B-2 is performed according to the character designation data (CHARA) of the script data 103A described above. For example, any dictionary data is selected according to the display position, type, and facial expression. In this example, it is determined whether the character designation data is specific character data. If it is specific character data, dictionary data 103B-2 is selected. Otherwise, dictionary data 103B-1 is selected.

  In this way, even with the same word / phrase, different dictionary contents can be referred to according to the character designation, making it easier to create a game and enabling various dictionary references.

  FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram of still another embodiment of script data and dictionary data stored in a storage medium. As shown in FIG. 8, as in FIGS. 3 and 7, the script data is composed of a plurality of script data 103 </ b> A according to the game scenario, and the script data on one screen contains the sound to be played back (Back Ground Music). BGM data specified by the management number, BG (Back Ground) data specifying the display background by the management number, CHARA (Character) data specifying the display position, type, coordinates, and facial expression of the character to be displayed, and the text to be displayed It consists of text data indicating a document by character code.

  Here, in the text data, the start of the lexical phrase using the dictionary function is designated by “[” and the end of the lexical phrase is designated by “]”. That is, it is specified in a tag format. In FIG. 8, the phrase referring to the dictionary function is “manipulation” of the Chinese character.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8, the dictionary data 103B-3 includes the SCR data indicating the reference lexical phrase (manual adjustment in FIG. 7) in the script data 103A and the display data (in the case of FIG. Yomi data shown, and two text data (Text1, Text2) showing the dictionary contents (meaning) of the lexical word.

  The contents of the first text data Text1 and the second text data Text2 of the dictionary data 103B-3 are different. If the above-mentioned reference lexical phrase is described as an example of “manage”, the first text data Text1 is “how to apply force when moving with a hand, how to move, etc.” and the second text data. Text2 is “Adjust appropriately according to the degree of the other party and the situation at that time.

  The selection of the text data of the dictionary data 103B-3 is performed according to the tag in the tag format described above. For example, any text data of the dictionary data is selected with either a single tag or a double tag. In this example, it is determined whether the tagged tag is a single tag or a double tag, and if it is a single tag, the first text data is obtained. If it is a double tag, the second text data is selected.

  In this way, different dictionary contents can be referred to even with the same word / phrase according to the designation of the tag, making it easier to create a game and enabling various dictionary references.

  In the above-described embodiments, the game apparatus is described as a portable game machine. However, the game apparatus can be applied to an information processing apparatus having another display such as a mobile phone or a portable terminal. The dictionary is not limited to Japanese, but may be English, Chinese, Korean, or the like. In this case, it is possible to cope with multinationalization by changing the data of the dictionary without changing the script data, that is, with the original story.

  Also, the contents of the dictionary have been described in terms of lexical readings and lexical descriptions, but other contents such as only lexical descriptions, readings, and styles adapted to the character's tone can also be used. Furthermore, the present invention can be applied to a screen in which no character appears in the script data, and an index is provided in the game scenario, and the game can be progressed by referring to the script data using this index.

  Further, the selection of the two dictionaries in FIG. 7 may be performed according to the type of tag (single tag, double tag) in FIG. 8. Similarly, the selection of the two text data in FIG. It may be performed by character designation. Similarly, instead of the character designation in FIG. 7, a dictionary can be selected corresponding to a scene or a stage or a reference location can be changed by designation of either BGM or background. Further, not only the character but also the entire external data designation part including BGM and background may be used as parameters to select the dictionary and change the reference location.

  As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated by embodiment, in the range of the meaning of this invention, this invention can be variously deformed, These are not excluded from the scope of the present invention.

  The picture screen and text are displayed on the display so that the lexical phrase given the dictionary reference function can be distinguished from other lexical phrases, and the lexical phrase given the dictionary reference function according to the player's selection operation. The dictionary data having the dictionary contents are referred to, and the dictionary contents of the referenced lexical phrase are displayed on the display. Therefore, the game can proceed according to the player's understanding level, and further, the game can proceed according to the player's playing style. Further, since the dictionary reference is provided, the amount of text to be displayed can be reduced as a whole, and the game tempo is dramatically improved.
