Note that the game image shown in FIG. 4 is displayed at the same timing.

The “versus trade” mode is a mode in which a main character (see “M” in FIG. 4B), which is a player's alternation, battles against a battle character (see “V” in FIG. 4A) under certain conditions. is there. In the “versus trade” mode, a plurality of types of battle games having different victory conditions and a plurality of battle characters V appearing in the battle game are prepared. In each battle game, one of the fighting character V of the plurality of the opponent character V appeared, so as to compete with the main character M and the one-to-one. Each battle character V is created and set in advance so as to have individuality in the way of buying and selling and so that the game level is different.

  In the battle game, a participation amount necessary for performing the battle is determined in advance. When winning the battle game, the main character M can acquire a certain amount of money. When the main character M wins the battle game and increases the amount of money held, the game level called “trader rank” increases. When the “trader rank” increases, the maximum value of “mental power” (described later) increases, or the number of dedicated techniques (described later) that can be activated increases, so that the battle game can be advantageously developed. The above-mentioned holding amount corresponds to the “evaluation value” described in the claims. Further, the amount of money that the character obtains by the selling operation of the owned brand once corresponds to the “acquired value” described in the claims.

When the player shifts to the “versus trade” mode, the player selects an arbitrary battle character V from the plurality of battle characters V. When the player selects an arbitrary battle character V , a predetermined battle game is automatically selected from a plurality of types of battle games. Note that there may be a battle character V that cannot be selected unless the game level of the main character M reaches a certain level. Further, the player may be able to select an arbitrary battle game from a plurality of types of battle games.

  There are several types of battle games, for example: (1) A game where the winning or losing is determined by the amount of money held in a certain period, (2) A game where the winning or losing is determined by reaching a certain amount first, (3) A battle game is performed multiple times Introducing an element such as “mental power” that determines the victory or defeat depending on the number of wins and losses in the battle game, and (4) “mental power” that shows the mental state of each character at the time of battle in a simulated manner Generally, it is classified into things that win or lose depending on the value of.

  (1) As a battle game in which winning or losing is determined by the amount of money held in (1), (a) For example, by buying or selling one or more brands (products) that are trading objects in a predetermined period, If the winning condition is that the amount of money held by the battle character V is greater (this battle game is called “standard”), (b) only one “buy operation” is possible when buying or selling one or more brands. (This battle game is called “Bull Standard”), (c) When buying or selling one or more brands, first sell a particular brand and later There are buying and selling methods such as so-called “short selling”, but there are restrictions that only allow this “short selling” (this battle game is “Bearander” "It is called), and the like.

  In addition, (1) as a battle game in which the winning or losing is determined depending on the amount of money held, (d) a restriction condition is added that one character can only perform “buy operation” and the other character can only perform “sell operation”. (This battle game is called “One Side”), (e) The winning condition is that more losses have been lost over a period of time (this battle game is called “Crazy Makarov”), ( f) Those with a restriction condition that only one brand can be traded is added (this battle game is called “Western Hold'em”).

  (G) As a battle game in which winning or losing is determined by first reaching a certain amount of money (g), for example, a game whose winning condition is that three battle games having different clearing conditions are cleared first (this battle game is (Called “Tri-Area”), (h) Proceeding with one stock for example eight times in a row (sold with the stock held at a price higher than the stock price at the time of acquisition, and cashing unrealized gains (Abbreviation of “Profit Profit Selling”)) (the battle game is called “8 shots 8 kills”).

  (3) As a battle game in which the number of wins and losses in multiple battle games in (3) is determined, (i) For example, three stocks are prepared, and the stocks won by winning and losing the amount of money held for each stock over a certain period (J) A clear condition is set for a plurality of types of battle games, and one of the characters must have a clear condition first. Or the like, where the opponent's character wins when this fails (this battle game is called “endless”).

  Furthermore, as a battle game in which winning or losing is determined by the value of (4) “mental power”, (k) not determining the winning or losing based on the amount of money held, There are those that are set as a victory condition to be "0" (this battle game is called "mental battle").

  The first display unit 4 shown in FIG. 4B is provided with a brand display area 41 for displaying brands that can be bought and sold by the main character M and the battle character V, their stock prices, and the number of brands held. The first display unit 4 is provided with three brand display areas 41. In addition, the number of units of holding of the battle character V is displayed in the upper right part in the brand display area 41, and the number of units of holding of the main character M is displayed in the lower part.

When the selection icon 42 is selected by the main character M, the selection icon 42 is usually changed from black to green and displayed. The main character M can buy and sell the brand selected by the selection icon 42, and the stock price of the selected brand is displayed in a chart area 48 (described later) shown in FIG. The

  A selection icon 43 indicating the brand selected by the battle character V is provided on the right side of each brand display area 41. When the selection icon 43 is also selected by the battle character V, it is normally displayed from black to green. The battle character V can buy and sell the brand selected by the selection icon 43.

  A “buy” button 44 and a “sell” button 45 are provided at the bottom of the first display unit 4. When the player operates the “Buy” button 44, the main character M can buy the brand selected by the selection icon 42. One operation of the “buy” button 44 corresponds to the number of one unit (for example, 100 shares). Further, when the player operates the “Sell” button 45 in a state where the selected brand is held, the selected brand can be sold. One operation of the “sell” button 45 corresponds to the number of units.

  An amount display area 46 for displaying the amount of money held by the main character M is provided in the upper left part of the first display unit 4. The amount of money held increases or decreases when the main character M performs a buying and selling operation. For example, when the player operates the “Buy” button 44, the stock price at the time of operation × the number of issues is calculated, the calculated value is subtracted from the amount held at the time of operation, and the value of the calculation result is used as a new amount of money It is displayed in the display area 46. When the player operates the “sell” button 45, the stock price at the time of operation × the number of issues is calculated, the calculated value is added to the amount held at the time of operation, and the value of the calculation result is used as a new amount of money It is displayed in the display area 46.

  In this way, the main character M buys and holds a specific brand and sells the brand at a certain timing, so that one trading operation is established, and the main character M gains or loses profit by the trading operation. I wear it. For example, it can be profitable to buy a stock when the stock price is low and sell it after it is high. Note that in the case of “short selling”, the buying and selling operations in the above-described single buying and selling operation are performed in the reverse order. Further, the amount of money acquired in one trading operation corresponds to the “acquired value” described in the claims.

  In the upper right part of the first display unit 4, an amount display area 47 for displaying the amount held by the battle character V is provided. The value of the possessed amount increases or decreases when the battle character V performs a buying and selling operation.

  The second display unit 5 shown in FIG. 4A is provided with a chart area 48 for displaying a change in stock price (value movement) in a graph. In the chart area 48, the fluctuation of the stock price of the brand selected by the selection icon 42 is displayed as a graph. The horizontal axis of the chart area 48 is time, and the vertical axis is stock price. An arrow 49 displayed in the chart area 48 indicates the fluctuation of the stock price, and this arrow 49 becomes thicker or thinner in the vertical direction as the “volume (number of trading stocks of the brand)” increases or decreases. Is displayed. A thin line 50 indicates a “moving average line” of the brand. In the chart area 48, “resistance wire” or the like may be displayed.

  The change (price movement) of the stock price indicated by the arrow 49 is created by calculating various parameters (data related to price movements) according to a predetermined calculation formula so as to simulate the change in the stock price of an actual brand. Is done. In this market adventure game, a virtual brand is created and used, for example, as shown in a brand display area 41 in FIG. Data such as the various parameters and predetermined calculation formulas are stored in advance in the game media 33, and are read from the game media 33 and used as necessary.

More specifically, the stock price of a certain brand is basically changed by the following procedure. That is, (1) The current stock price is compared with the appropriate price and the divergence rate (the ratio indicating how far the two values are apart) is calculated. (2) The calculated divergence rate and the stock's based on the volume, the process of determining the direction (rise or fall) of varying stock, (3) based on the volume and the random number of the stock, such as processing of determining a period in the fluctuation range of the stock and its variations A series of processes is a basic cycle, and the stock price of the stock is changed by repeating this basic cycle.

  Here, the reasonable price generally means a reasonable price corresponding to the economic value of the stock. In this embodiment, the reasonable price is calculated by “theoretical stock price × event addition value”. . In the above formula, “theoretical stock price” generally means the stock price that should be originally calculated from the performance and financial status of the stock company, but in this embodiment, it is predetermined for each stock year by year. Value is set. The “theoretical stock price” is included in the data regarding the price movement of the present invention.

  In this market adventure game, various events are set to occur with a predetermined probability, and “event addition values” included in the above equation are set for these events. The event includes an event that affects only a specific brand such as a corporation that has revised its business results downward, and an event that affects all brands such as a war. When such an event occurs, the event addition value of the event is applied to the above equation, and an appropriate price is acquired.

  In this way, a change (price movement) in the stock price of the specific brand or all brands is acquired by calculation, and a change such as rising or falling can be displayed. Therefore, a change in the stock price of each brand can be individually produced for each brand in the chart region 48. For example, it is possible to produce a change in which a certain brand gradually rises with the passage of time and then suddenly falls at a certain time. On the other hand, other brands can produce a change in which they gradually decline with time and suddenly rise at a certain time. Alternatively, it is possible to produce an effect that a certain brand changes up and down violently in a short period of time.

  Note that the above-described method for creating a change in the stock price of the brand is an example, and a change in the stock price of the brand may be created using another method. For example, other parameters may be added to the formula for calculating the appropriate price.

  In the upper part of the second display unit 5, a “game bar” 51 that visually represents the battle situation between the main character M and the battle character V is provided. The “game bar” 51 has two areas, and the larger the area of this area, the more advantageous the character corresponding to that area. Specifically, the left area (white display area) is set as the main character M, and the right area (shaded area) is set as the battle character V. The “game bar” 51 has different meanings and contents displayed depending on the type of battle game. For example, in the case of a battle game in which a winning or losing decision is made based on the amount of money held over a certain period, the percentage of the money held for the main character M and the battle character V is shown in the “game bar” 51.

  Below the main character M of the first display unit 4, there is provided a mental strength gauge 52 </ b> A that indicates the value of the “mental power” of the main character M. In addition, a mental strength gauge 52 </ b> B indicating a value of the “mental power” of the battle character V is provided below the battle character V of the second display unit 5. The values of these “mental powers” are increased or decreased by the buying and selling operation of the main character M and the battle character V during the battle game, the activation of the “special technique”, or the like.

  More specifically, the value of “mental power” is increased or decreased by the buying and selling operation of the brands of the main character M and the battle character V. For example, if the main character M buys and sells a certain brand and makes a profit, the value of the “mental power” of the battle character V is lowered because the battle character V is damaged thereby. On the other hand, if the battle character V buys and sells a certain brand and makes a profit, the value of the “mental power” of the main character M decreases because the main character M is damaged thereby. In this case, as the amount of profit increases, the value of “mental power” decreases greatly.

  As described above, when one of the main character M and the battle character V is profitable, the value of the “mental power” of the other of the main character M and the battle character V is subtracted. On the game screen (see FIG. 4), by performing an effect of moving an item called “damage ball”, an effect that visually represents the operation of giving or receiving damage is performed. The effect of this “damage ball” will be described later.

  When the value of the “mental power” of the main character M is decreased from the maximum value, the value of the “mental power” of the main character M increases (recovers), for example, when the main character M gains profit. It may be made like. Similarly, when the value of the “mental power” of the battle character V has decreased from the maximum value, for example, the value of the “mental power” of the battle character V increases (recovers) when the battle character V gains profit. It may be made to do.

  Further, when the main character M buys / sells a certain stock (for example, “settlement (settlement in the state where there is a loss included)”) and the holding amount decreases, it is assumed that the main character M has been damaged. ”May be lowered. In this case, assuming that the battle character V is more advantageous, the value of the “mental power” of the battle character V may be increased. Conversely, the value of the “mental power” of the main character M may be increased when the battle character V “cuts out”.

  When the value of the “mental power” in the present embodiment is smaller than the maximum value, the value gradually increases as the battle time elapses. In other words, the value of “mental power” is automatically recovered with the lapse of the battle time, except for the state of having a loss. For example, as “one day” (actually several seconds or minutes) elapses in the battle game, the maximum value of “mental power” is increased by 0.75%.

  In addition, when the brand possessed by the character has a so-called “unrealized gain”, the mental state of the character is also changed by the “unrealized gain” in the same way as the mental state of the human having the “unrealized gain” actually becomes good. Increase the amount of increase in the value of “mental power” as good.

  On the other hand, if the brand possessed by the character has a so-called “unintention loss”, the mental state of the character is also deteriorating in the same way as the mental state of a human who actually has “unintention loss” deteriorates. Decrease the increase amount of the value, or decrease it instead of increasing it when the “unintentional loss” is large.

  As a result, it is possible to simulate the mental state of a person who actually buys and sells. In addition, for example, if the “mental power” of the player's character is low, whether the player should take advantage of damage to the opponent or give priority to recovery of the player's mental strength first, etc. Strategies can also be improved.

  Furthermore, the value of the “mental power” may be decreased by the opponent character becoming profitable or a special technique described later being activated by the opponent character, and the value may be “0”. In “Versus Trade” mode (excluding “Mental War”), when the value of “Mental Strength” becomes “0”, it is not possible to trade in brands for a certain period of time. This is a simulation of a situation where a person who actually buys or sells has suffered a great loss, and has suffered a mentally terrible state in which he / she can do nothing with heavy damage. The above-mentioned fixed time is the time until the value of “mental power” reaches the maximum value from “0”, that is, the time until the mental state of the character recovers. The value “0” corresponds to a “predetermined value” described in the claims.

  Further, when the value of “mental power” becomes “0”, the maximum value of “mental power” is reduced by, for example, 10%. Further, when the value of “mental power” becomes “0”, the special skill that the main character M can possess during the battle is reduced by one and cannot be activated.

  In the present embodiment, when the value of “mental power” becomes “0”, trading of all brands is prohibited. You may make it perform a restriction | limiting. For example, a trading operation may be prohibited for a brand that has been damaged among a plurality of brands that can be traded. Moreover, you may prohibit only the operation | movement which sells among sales operations.

  On the other hand, when the “mental power” becomes “0”, the touch panel 6 is rubbed with the dedicated touch pen 13 or the like, or a predetermined button is operated, thereby recovering the value of the “mental power”. The degree can be raised. For example, every time the touch panel 6 is rubbed with the touch pen 13, 0.75% of the maximum value of “mental power” is recovered (increased). Each time a predetermined button is pressed once, 0.5% of the maximum value of “mental power” is recovered (increased).

  As described above, in this embodiment, a value obtained by simulating the mental state of the main character M and the battle character V such as “mental power” is used in a simulated manner, and reflects the mental state when a real person performs a buying and selling operation. As a result, the player can indirectly or directly affect his / her victory or defeat in the battle game, so that the player can maintain an uplifted feeling as if he / she actually performs a buying / selling operation even during the game operation. In addition, the player can easily transfer emotions to the character, and the fun of the game can be improved.

  In the vicinity of the main character M of the first display unit 4 (see FIG. 4B), a dedicated technique display area for displaying a special technique (called “trading arts”) that the main character M can activate. 53A is provided. Further, in the vicinity of the battle character V of the second display unit 5 (see FIG. 4A), a dedicated technique display area 53B for displaying a dedicated technique that the battle character V can activate is provided.

  The special technique is activated in order for the main character M and the battle character V to make the battle state advantageous. In this “versus trade” mode, a plurality of special techniques are prepared, and a predetermined number (for example, three) of main characters M and battle characters V can be held. The special technique can be arbitrarily selected by the player from among the special techniques possessed during the battle in the “versus trade” mode and activated as necessary.

  Each special technique is set with a timer until it can be activated. This timer rises at a constant rate as time passes during the battle game. After the timer reaches a predetermined value, the main character M and the battle character V can activate them. The predetermined value is set differently for each special technique. In addition, after the special technique is activated, the timer is reset again and cannot be activated until a predetermined value is reached.

  There are special techniques that the main character M cannot select arbitrarily, those that cannot be selected according to the trader rank value, and those that can be selected only in the “versus trade” mode. May be.

  Special techniques include, for example, changing the value of the “mental power” of the activated character or the opponent character, and changing the value of the stock price of each brand.

  Examples of the special technique for changing the value of the “mental power” of the activated character or the opponent character include special techniques such as “feeling” and “shaking”. For example, “spirit” is to increase the “mental power” of the activated character. When the character activates “spirit”, about 25% of the maximum value of the character's “mental power” increases. Also, “swaying” is activated when the opponent character has a loss of inclusion, thereby reducing the value of the “mental power” of the opponent character. When the character activates “swaying”, the attack power (value that varies depending on the value of the trader rank) × random number (for example, 12 to 24) is calculated, and the calculated value is calculated from the value of the “mental power” of the opponent character. Deducted.

  As a special technique for changing the value of the stock price of each brand, for example, a special technique such as “buying” can be cited. “Buying” increases the value of the stock price of a specific brand. When the character activates “buying”, the value of the stock price of a specific brand increases by about 10% only for a certain period.

  In addition, for special techniques that raise or lower the value of a stock price of a specific issue such as “buying”, an “event addition value” is set, and when these special techniques are activated, Then, the “event added value” of the dedicated technique is substituted into “theoretical stock price × event added value” for calculating the appropriate price, and the appropriate price is calculated and the fluctuation of the stock price is calculated.

  Next, basic operation control in the battle game in the “versus trade” mode will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. In the following description, it is assumed that “standard” is determined as a battle game, in which a game is determined by having a larger amount of money for a certain period.

  When “versus trade” is selected and set by the player, the CPU 21 causes the first display unit 4 to display a selection screen of the opponent character V to be the opponent as shown in FIG. 6 (S1). In this case, selectable battle characters V may be limited according to the game level (trader rank) of the player (main character M). In addition, when the trader rank is low or when the amount of money held is insufficient when performing “versus trade”, “versus trade” may not be selected.

  When the battle character V is selected by the player's operation (in the example of FIG. 6, either the character B or the character C is selected), a battle game with the selected battle character V is determined, and the CPU 21 determines the battle game. Data regarding rules such as victory conditions are read from the game media 33 and temporarily stored in the RAM 23.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the CPU 21 displays the “Versus Trade” preparation screen on the first and second display units 4 and 5 (S <b> 2). In this preparation screen, as shown in FIG. 7A, explanation of the rules of the battle game is displayed on the second display unit 5 (see reference numeral 55). Further, as shown in FIG. 7B, a screen for displaying selection items for selection by the player is displayed on the first display unit 4.

  That is, on this preparation screen, a brand selection button 56 for selecting a brand to be used, a dedicated technique selection button 57 for selecting a dedicated technique to be used, an opponent information button 58 for displaying opponent information, A chart setting button 59 for setting the chart (for example, display or non-display of “moving average line”) and a start button 60 for starting trading are displayed.

  When the brand selection button 56 is operated by the player and a brand list screen (not shown) is displayed, the player can select a brand to be used from the brand list screen. When the dedicated technique selection button 57 is operated by the player and a dedicated technique list screen (not shown) is displayed, the player can select a dedicated technique to be used from the dedicated technique list screen.

  When the brand is selected by the player, the CPU 21 stands by until the start button 60 is operated by the player (S3). When the start button 60 is operated by the player (S3: YES), the CPU 21 reads data relating to a change in stock price (value movement) of the selected brand from the game media 33 (S4) and temporarily stores it in the RAM 23. At this time, data related to the buying and selling operation of the battle character V is also read from the game media 33.

  Thereafter, the CPU 21 causes the first and second display units 4 and 5 to display a game screen unique to “Versus Trade” as shown in FIG. 4 (S5). The battle game is started simultaneously with the display of the “Versus Trade” display screen.

  That is, the CPU 21 calculates the change (value movement) of the stock price stored in the RAM 23 and selected by the player, and based on the calculation result, the CPU 21 sets the stock price as the arrow 49 in the chart area 48 of the second display unit 5 over time. Display to change. In this case, the moving average line 50 is displayed based on the selection setting of the player as the stock price changes and is displayed. The arrow 49 indicating the stock price is displayed with the width in the vertical direction widening or narrowing depending on the volume. The player can buy and sell brands by looking at changes in the stock price displayed on the second display unit 5.

  Returning to FIG. 5, when the game screen shown in FIG. 4 is displayed, it is determined whether or not a buying / selling operation has been performed by the main character M or the battle character V (S6). Here, the buying and selling operation refers to the operation from buying (or short selling) a predetermined brand and then selling (or buying after short selling) until some profit or loss occurs.

  When the buying / selling operation is performed (S6: YES), it is determined whether or not the buying / selling operation is due to the player's operation (S7). That is, it is determined whether the buying and selling operation is performed by the main character M by the operation of the player, or whether the buying and selling operation is performed by the battle character V by the control operation by the CPU 21.

  When the buying and selling operation is performed by the player's operation (S7: YES), a determination process is performed to determine whether or not the prohibition flag of the main character M is on (S8). Here, the prohibition flag indicates whether or not the character buying and selling operation is prohibited by the value, and is set for each character. For example, if the prohibition flag is on, the buying and selling operation is prohibited, and if the prohibiting flag is off, the buying and selling operation is permitted. As will be described later, the prohibition flag is set to ON when the value of “Mental power” becomes “0”, and turned off when the value of “Mental power” becomes the maximum value by a specific operation of the player. Is set.

  When the prohibition flag is not on in step S8 (S8: NO), the buying / selling operation process of the main character M is performed (S9). On the other hand, if the prohibition flag is on in step S8 (S8: YES), the process of buying and selling the main character M is not performed, and the process proceeds to step S12. In the buying and selling process of the main character M, the amount held by the main character M is calculated. For example, the stock price at the time of settlement of the traded brand is multiplied by the number of brands, and the multiplied value is added to the current holding price as the acquisition price in one trading operation. The added holding amount is displayed in the amount display area 46 of the main character M as a new holding amount.

  In step S7, when the buying and selling operation is under the control of the CPU 21 (S7: NO), it is determined whether or not the prohibition flag of the battle character V is on (S10). When the prohibition flag is not on in step S10 (S10: NO), the buying / selling operation process of the battle character V is performed (S11). Specifically, the amount held by the battle character V is calculated. For example, the stock price at the time of settlement of the traded brand is multiplied by the number of brands, and the multiplied value is added to the current holding price as the acquisition price in one trading operation. Then, the added holding amount is displayed in the amount display area 47 of the battle character V as a new holding amount. On the other hand, when the prohibition flag is on in step S10 (S10: YES), the process of buying and selling the battle character V is not performed, and the process proceeds to step S12.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the transaction has been successful (S12). When it is profitable by the buying and selling operation (S12: YES), the mental power calculation process by the buying and selling process (S13) and the “damage ball” effect process are performed (S14).

  For example, when the main character M is profitable, the value of the “mental power” of the battle character V is subtracted according to the profit amount. On the other hand, for example, when the battle character V is profitable, the value of the “mental power” of the main character M is subtracted according to the profitable amount.

  For example, when the main character M is successful, the damage ball 61 is placed near the mental power gauge 52A of the main character M on the first display unit 4, as shown in FIG. After a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) has elapsed, as shown in FIG. 9, it is directed to the mental strength gauge 52B of the battle character V of the second display section 5, and as shown in FIG. An effect of disappearing when the damaged ball 61 reaches 52B is displayed. At this time, the damage ball 61 disappears, and at the same time, the mental strength gauge 52B of the battle character V is displayed so as to be shortened by the amount of the “mental power” being decreased.

  On the other hand, for example, when the battle character V is successful, a damage ball (not shown) appears in the vicinity of the mental strength gauge 52B of the battle character V on the second display unit 5, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, It is directed to the main character M's mental power gauge 52A on the first display unit 4, and an effect is displayed that disappears when the damage ball reaches the mental power gauge 52A. At this time, simultaneously with the disappearance of the damaged ball, the mental power gauge 52A of the main character M is displayed so as to be shortened by the amount of the “mental power” value being decreased.

  By performing such an effect display, it is possible to grasp sensuously that each character has been mentally damaged due to the accuracy of the opponent's character, and the game screen is visually interesting. Can do.

  The size of the damage ball 61 may be changed according to the amount of money at the time of profit. For example, when a large amount of money is secured, a large damage ball 61 may be displayed.

  Further, the damage ball 61 is fired from the vicinity of the mental strength gauge of one character that has gained accuracy toward the mental strength gauge of the other character after the predetermined time has elapsed, until the predetermined time elapses. When the other character is successful, another damage ball is fired from the mental strength gauge of the other character toward the mental strength gauge of the other character. In such a case, an effect may be performed in which two damaged balls collide on the trajectory between both mental strength gauges, and the damaged ball with a smaller profit amount disappears. Then, the damage ball with the larger profit amount may be displayed in a reduced size based on the difference in the yield and may be directed to the opponent's mental strength gauge.

  Further, when the difference in the amount of money that is profitable between the two damage balls is equal to or less than a predetermined value, the battle game may be temporarily interrupted and transferred to another mini game. That is, in this mini game, a state in which two damaged balls collide is displayed, and both damaged balls move on the track based on the player rubbing the surface of the first display unit 4 with the touch pen 13 or the like. A process is performed in which the person who moves the damage ball to the opponent's mental strength gauge wins.

After that, the “mental power” calculation process over time is performed for each character (S15). In this calculation process, for example, the amount of increase in the current “mental power” is calculated by calculating the maximum amount of “mental power” × (0.75% + correction value (%)) every day on the game. Add to the value. Here, the calculation formula for obtaining the correction value differs depending on whether the brand held by the character has unrealized gain or unrealized loss. When the character has an unfavorable profit, “Y ÷ X ÷ 20 × 100” (%) is used as the correction value calculation formula. Here, “Y” indicates the total of unrealized gains or unrealized losses at the present time, and “X” indicates the current total assets (a value obtained by adding a value obtained by converting the holding stock to the current amount). In addition, as the calculation formula of the correction formula, “Y ÷ X ÷ 5 × 100” (%) is used when the character has a loss included. The calculation process in step S15 is not executed for the character prohibition flag is on, the process proceeds to step S 16.

  Next, calculation processing is performed for each character when the value of “mental power” becomes “0” (S16). In this calculation process, it is first determined whether or not the character prohibition flag is on. When the prohibition flag is not on, it is determined whether or not the value of “mental power” is “0”. If it is determined that the value of “mental power” is “0”, the prohibition flag of this character is set to ON. As a result, a character whose prohibition flag is set to on is prohibited from buying and selling.

  Further, when it is determined that the value of “mental power” is “0”, the maximum value of “mental power” is reduced by, for example, 10%. Along with this, the mental strength gauges 52A and 52B of the corresponding character are displayed so that the horizontal width is reduced. Also, the dedicated skill held by the corresponding character is reduced by one. Accordingly, the corresponding special technique display areas 53A and 53B are displayed so as to disappear.

  If it is determined that the prohibition flag is on or the value of “mental power” is “0”, a calculation process for increasing the value of “mental power” with the passage of time of the corresponding character is performed. For example, every day in the game, the amount of increase is calculated by the formula “maximum value of“ mental power ”× (0.75% + operation input value (%))” and added to the current value of “mental power” To do.

  Here, the operation input value indicates a total of values according to the number of times of operation of the touch panel 6 and a predetermined button that are operated while one day on the game passes. As described above, 0.75% is added to the operation input value each time the player rubs the touch panel 6 with the touch pen 13 once, and 0.5% is added to the operation input value every time a predetermined button is pressed. For example, when the touch panel 6 is rubbed twice before a day on the game passes and a predetermined button is pressed once, the arithmetic expression is “maximum value of“ mental power ”× (0.75% + 2 .0%)].

In the case of a character controlled by the CPU 21 (for example, the battle character V), since there is no operation input, the increase amount can be obtained by an arithmetic expression of “maximum value of“ mental power ”× (0.75%)”, for example. That's fine.

Further, after this calculation process, it is determined whether or not the value of the “mental power” of the corresponding character has reached the maximum value. If it has been determined that the maximum value has been reached, the prohibition flag is set to OFF and step S 17 is performed. Move on to processing. When it is determined not to have reached the maximum value shifts to the process of leaving the step S 17 prohibition flag is maintained at ON.

On the other hand, inhibition flag for the character values of a and "mental power" off is not "0", without performing calculation processing or the like, the process proceeds to step S 17.

  In the above example, the value of “mental power” is increased by the passage of time and a predetermined operation input of the touch panel 6 or the like. However, the value of “mental power” is determined only by the predetermined operation input of the touch panel 6 or the like. May be increased. The operation input of the touch panel 6 and the predetermined button corresponds to the predetermined operation input of the present invention.

  Next, a determination process is performed to determine whether the main character M or the battle character V has activated the special technique (S17). If it is determined that the special technique has been activated (S17: YES), a process associated with the activation of the special technique is performed (S18). For example, when the main character M activates the special technique “Kai”, a process of increasing the value of “Mental power” is performed. Further, for example, when the main character M activates “shaking”, a process of decreasing the “mental power” value of the battle character V is performed. At this time, the damage ball effect processing described above may be performed. Further, in the case where the “special technique” that is activated changes the value of the stock price such as “buying”, for example, processing for changing the value of the stock price is performed.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not a certain time corresponding to the battle time of the battle game has elapsed (S19). If the certain time has not elapsed (S19: NO), the process returns to step S4 to read out stock price data. I do. When a certain time has elapsed (S19: YES), the battle game is ended, and a process of determining the victory or defeat in the battle game is performed (S20). Thereafter, a process of displaying the winning / losing result (of course, there may be a draw) on the game screen is performed (S21). Thereby, the player can grasp whether the main character M is a winner or a loser.

  Further, although not shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5, during the battle in the battle game, processing in which various events occur with a predetermined probability is performed.

  The operation control according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 5 relates to “standard” in which a battle is determined by having a larger amount of money for a certain period of time as a battle game, but the operation control in other battle games is shown in FIG. This is performed by changing a part according to the operation control of the flowchart shown.

  Next, the “mental battle” in the battle game will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Note that the operation control shown in the flowchart of FIG. 11 is partially equivalent to the operation control shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5, and different parts will be described below.

  That is, steps S1 to S18 (excluding steps S8, S10, and S16) shown in FIG. 5 are the same as steps S31 to S45 shown in FIG. The processing when the value of “mental power” in step S16 shown in FIG. 5 becomes “0” is a win / loss condition when the value of “mental power” becomes “0”. It is not implemented in the “mental warfare” shown.

  In step S46 of FIG. 11, it is determined whether or not the “mental power” value of either the main character M or the battle character V has become “0”. Here, if the value of the “mental power” of either the main character M or the battle character V is not “0” (S46: NO), whether or not a certain time, which is the battle time in step S47, has elapsed. Proceed to the discrimination process.

If it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed (S47: YES), the value of the “mental power” of the main character M or the battle character V has not become “0” even if the battle time elapses. It is determined that the match is a draw (S 49 ). Instead of determining that the draw in step S 49, if even after competition time value of "mental strength" did not become "0", winner direction with much held amount at that time You may make it perform the process which becomes.

On the other hand, in step S46, if the value of the "mental strength" of any of the main character M and the opponent character V becomes "0" (S46: YES), the process proceeds to outcome determination processing in step S 48. In the win / loss determination process, for example, when the value of the “mental power” of the main character M becomes “0”, it is determined that the battle character V has won. On the other hand, when the value of the “mental power” of the battle character V becomes “0”, it is determined that the main character M has won.

If it is determined that the draw in step S 49, or when it is determined the outcome in step S 48, the process of displaying the outcome results in the game screen is performed (S50).

  In this way, when the battle game with the battle character V is “mental battle”, regardless of the amount of money held by the buying and selling operation, when the value of “mental strength” becomes “0”, the game wins or loses. Will be determined. That is, in the motion control shown in FIG. 5, the value of “mental power” indirectly affects the winning / losing condition. However, in the motion control shown in FIG. It has become something that affects. Therefore, the player can enjoy a battle game having a different taste from other battle games.

  In the operation control shown in FIG. 11, although not shown in the flowchart of FIG. 11, the process of increasing / decreasing the value of “mental power” at a certain rate with the passage of time, various events have predetermined probabilities. The processing that occurs in is performed.

  Of course, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. For example, the content of the video game described in the above embodiment is not limited to being applied to a market adventure game, but can also be applied to other action games or role playing games. Further, the content and type of the battle game, the character attribute information, the content and type of the special technique, the brand data, and the like described above are not limited to the above content. Further, as stock price data, actual stock price data may be acquired through a network line (not shown), for example, and graphed in the chart area 48 using only necessary portions after a predetermined time has elapsed.

  In this embodiment, the video game in the portable video game machine has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the portable video game machine, and may be applied to a home game machine, an arcade game machine, a personal computer, or the like. Good.

  Furthermore, you may make it play between players. For example, a home game machine is provided with a plurality of operation means (game controllers), and a plurality of players play a game while watching an image displayed on a single display. Further, as in the video game machine 1 of the present embodiment, for example, an ad hoc mode that includes a wireless LAN device (not shown) compliant with IEEE 802.11 and does not require a player having the same video game machine 1 and an access point. You can also fight against communication. In this communication battle, images similar to those shown in FIG. 4 are displayed on the first display unit 4 and the second display unit 5 of each video game machine 1, but the main character M and the battle character V are displayed. Are displayed with each replaced.

  Further, a communication battle in an infrastructure mode provided with an access point may be used. Furthermore, game machines equipped with communication means capable of communicating with a game server via a network line may be connected so that a plurality of players can communicate with each other.

  Even if the video game machine 1A of the player A and the video game machine 1B of the other player B communicate with each other, the video game machines 1A and 1B are shown in FIGS. The same processing as the processing is performed, but the calculation is not performed on the holding amount of the character operated by the fighting players B and A, the value of the “mental power”, etc., but only for the characters of the players A and B who perform the operation. Players A and B and video game machines 1A and 1B are not shown. Each video game machine 1A, 1B periodically transmits data such as the amount of money held by the characters operated by the players A, B to the video game machines 1B, 1A of the players B, A.

  For example, when a “standard” battle game is performed, data such as the amount of money held and the value of mental power increased or decreased by the trading operation of the player A are transmitted to the video game machine 1B of the player B who competes, and the other players B The video game machine 1 </ b> A receives data such as the amount of money held and the value of mental power increased or decreased by the buying and selling operation. Then, each video game machine 1A, 1B determines the winning or losing based on the mutual holding amount.

  Further, for example, when a “mental war” battle game is performed, data such as the fact that the player A has made a sale operation or the amount of money held is transmitted to the other video game machine 1B, and the fact that another player B has made a sale operation or possession. Data such as a monetary amount is received by the video game machine 1A. In the video game machine 1A, the value of the “mental power” of the character of the player A is calculated based on the fact that the other player B has performed the buying and selling operation, and the calculated value of the “mental power” is sent to the other video game machine 1B. Sent. The value of the “mental power” of the character of the other player B calculated based on the fact that the player A has made a buying / selling operation is received by the video game machine 1A. Then, each video game machine 1A, 1B determines victory or defeat based on the value of each other's “mental power”.

In addition, the game program described in the present embodiment may be applied to an online game, where players who participate in the online game play against each other, or team up with multiple players to play against other teams. You may make it apply to a game.
