  In addition, when the first input information is received, the correction processing unit 113 performs a correction process of a first rotation process that brings the moving body and the target object closer to each other. For example, the correction processing unit 113 performs the first rotation processing according to the angle formed between the direction connecting the moving body and the target object and the direction of the moving body based on the first input information around the first axis. Change the amount of rotation. Further, the correction processing unit 113 may change the amount of rotation of the first rotation processing according to the speed of the moving body. For example, the rotation amount may be decreased according to acceleration of the movement speed, and the rotation amount may be increased according to deceleration of the movement speed.

  In addition, when the second input information is received, the correction processing unit 113 performs a correction process of a second rotation process that brings the moving object and the target object closer to each other. For example, the correction processing unit 113 performs the second rotation processing around the second axis according to the angle formed between the direction connecting the moving body and the target object and the direction of the moving body based on the second input information. Change the amount of rotation. Further, the correction processing unit 113 may change the rotation amount of the second rotation process according to the speed of the moving body. For example, the rotation amount may be decreased according to acceleration of the movement speed, and the rotation amount may be increased according to deceleration of the movement speed.

  In addition, when the third input information is received, the correction processing unit 113 performs a correction process of a third rotation process that brings the moving object and the target object closer to each other. For example, the correction processing unit 113 performs the third rotation process around the third axis according to the angle formed between the direction connecting the moving object and the target object and the direction of the moving object based on the third input information. Change the amount of rotation. Note that the correction processing unit 113 may change the rotation amount of the third rotation process according to the speed of the moving object. For example, the rotation amount may be decreased according to acceleration of the movement speed, and the rotation amount may be increased according to deceleration of the movement speed.

  When there are a plurality of target objects, the selection unit 114 performs a process of selecting one target object based on the positional relationship between the moving object and each target object.

  The game calculation unit 115 performs various game processes. For example, a process for starting a game when a game start condition is satisfied, a process for advancing the game, a process for ending a game when the game end condition is satisfied, and an ending when the final stage is cleared There is processing.

  The game calculation unit 115 of the present embodiment performs a process of updating the parameters of each object (including the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2). In the game calculation unit 115 of this embodiment, the damage accumulation value D in which damage is accumulated is updated every time a bullet hits the player. For example, when the damage accumulation value D of the player's own machine reaches the maximum value (D = 100), it is considered that the player's own machine has been shot down, and processing for ending the game is performed. On the other hand, when the damage accumulation value D of all enemy aircraft in the game reaches the maximum value, processing for determining that the game is cleared is performed.

  The game calculation unit 115 determines whether or not a bullet (for example, a missile) fired from the second object (for example, the target object OB2) hits the first object (for example, the moving object OB1). Processing may be performed to determine whether or not a bullet fired from the first object hits the second object.

  The display control unit 116 performs processing for causing the display unit 190 to display the image generated by the drawing unit 120. For example, the display control unit 116 performs a process of displaying an image including an instruction display object (cursor) of a moving body (own device) or an image including a moving body (own device). When the target object is included in the field of view (in the view volume), processing for displaying an image including the target object is performed.

  The virtual camera control unit 117 performs a virtual camera (viewpoint) control process for generating an image that can be seen from a given (arbitrary) viewpoint in the object space. Specifically, when generating a three-dimensional image, the position (X, Y, Z) of the virtual camera in the world coordinate system and the rotation angle (for example, from the positive direction of each axis of the X, Y, and Z axes) (Rotation angle when turning clockwise) is controlled. In short, the virtual camera control unit 117 performs processing for controlling at least one of the viewpoint position, the line-of-sight direction, the angle of view, the moving direction, and the moving speed of the virtual camera.

  In particular, the virtual camera control unit 117 of the present embodiment controls a virtual camera that follows the behavior of the moving object. For example, the virtual camera is controlled from the first person viewpoint shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B and the third person viewpoint (rear viewpoint) shown in FIG. The first person viewpoint is a viewpoint of the position of the moving body (own device). In the first person viewpoint, an image viewed from the moving body is generated in the object space. The third person viewpoint is a viewpoint that is a position away from the moving body (own device). In the third person viewpoint, an image obtained by looking down at the moving body in the object space is generated.

  For example, the virtual camera control unit 117 controls the virtual camera based on the behavior (behavior information) of the moving body such as the position, orientation, or speed of the object obtained by the movement / motion processing unit 112. That is, the virtual camera control unit 117 of this embodiment controls a virtual camera that follows the behavior of the moving object. For example, the virtual camera control unit 117 performs control so that the behavior of the moving object processed by the moving object control unit 112a and the behavior of the virtual camera maintain a predetermined relationship in the world coordinates.

  More specifically, in the world coordinates, control is performed so that the position of the moving object (the center point P of the moving object) processed by the moving object control unit 112a and the position (CP) of the virtual camera maintain a predetermined positional relationship. To do. For example, the position of the moving body (central point P of the moving body) and the position (CP) of the virtual camera are controlled so as to maintain a predetermined distance. In addition, control is performed so that the moving direction and moving speed of the moving body and the moving direction and moving speed of the virtual camera maintain a predetermined relationship. For example, the moving direction of the moving body and the moving direction of the virtual camera are controlled to be the same direction, and the moving speed of the moving body and the moving speed of the virtual camera are controlled to be the same speed. In addition, the virtual camera control unit 117 controls the direction (gaze direction) of the virtual camera so that the direction (rotation) of the moving body and the direction (rotation) of the virtual camera maintain a predetermined relationship. For example, the moving body and the virtual camera are controlled so that they face the same direction. Further, the virtual camera control unit 117 controls the rotation direction and the rotation speed of the virtual camera so that the rotation direction and the rotation speed of the moving body maintain a predetermined relationship. For example, control is performed so that the rotation direction and rotation speed of the moving body are the same as the rotation direction and rotation speed of the virtual camera.

  Note that the virtual camera control unit 117 may set the virtual camera in a predetermined direction and perform control to move the virtual camera along a predetermined movement route. For example, the virtual camera is controlled based on virtual camera data (virtual camera data stored in the storage unit 170, the information storage medium 180, etc.) for controlling the position (movement path) or orientation of the virtual camera. May be.

  The virtual camera control unit 117 may control an overhead virtual camera by arranging an overhead virtual camera that looks down from a given position in the object space.

  In addition, the virtual camera control unit 117 may be used to control a replay virtual camera by arranging a replay virtual camera for generating an image for replay in the object space. The replay virtual camera does not necessarily follow the movement of the moving body, but may control the replay virtual camera according to the movement information of the moving body.

  The communication control unit 118 may perform a process in which a terminal (for example, a first terminal) transmits / receives data to / from another terminal (for example, a second terminal) or the server 20 via a network.

  Note that the terminal 10 of this embodiment may perform processing for acquiring and managing network information necessary for communication control from a server. For example, the terminal has a packet associated with terminal identification information (data and ID individually assigned to identify a terminal that can participate in an online game) and terminal identification information that is individually assigned to each terminal. The destination information (IP address or the like) for designating the transmission destination may be acquired and managed.

  The communication control unit 118 generates a packet to be transmitted to another terminal (second terminal) or the server 20, processes to specify the IP address and port number of the packet transmission destination terminal, and data included in the received packet Are stored in the storage unit 170, received packets are analyzed, and other packet transmission / reception control processes are performed.

  In addition, the communication control unit 118 according to the present embodiment performs data transmission between a plurality of terminals or until the connection is disconnected after the connection (connection between the first terminal and the second terminal) in the server 20 is established. Are transmitted / received to / from each other at a predetermined cycle (for example, at a cycle of 1 second). Here, the data transmitted / received between the terminals may be input information of the input unit, or may be position information and movement information of the operation target object (airframe, moving body) of each terminal.

  In addition, when the communication control unit 118 of the present embodiment receives a packet transmitted from another terminal (second terminal) or the server 20, the communication control unit 118 analyzes the received packet and operates the operation target of the other terminal included in the packet. A process of storing data such as position information of the object in the storage unit is performed.

  In the case of a network system composed of a plurality of terminals, a peer-to-peer (so-called P2P) system that executes an online game while transmitting and receiving data between the plurality of terminals may be used. Each terminal may be based on a client-server system in which an online game is executed while transmitting and receiving data (information). In the network system of the present embodiment, data may be transmitted / received not only by wired communication but also by wireless communication.

  In particular, the communication control unit 118 according to the present embodiment includes first input information for rotating the moving body about the first axis, second input information for rotating the moving body about the second axis, and third input information. The third input information for rotating the moving body around the axis may be transmitted to the server 20 via the network. Further, the communication control unit 118 according to the present embodiment may receive the first, second, and third rotation processing results corrected by the server 20 from the server 20 via the network. The communication control unit 118 may receive display data (image data or the like) from the server 20.

  The drawing unit 120 performs drawing processing based on the results of various processes performed by the processing unit 100, thereby generating an image and outputting the image to the display unit 190. In other words, the drawing unit 120 generates an image that can be seen from the virtual camera in the object space.

  For example, the drawing unit 120 may perform a process of generating an image including an instruction display object (cursor) of a moving object from the first person viewpoint. In addition, the drawing unit 120 may perform processing for generating an image including a moving object from the third person viewpoint.

  For example, the drawing unit 120 receives object data (model data) including vertex data (vertex position coordinates, texture coordinates, color data, normal vector, α value, etc.) of each vertex of the object (model). Based on the vertex data included in the object data, vertex processing (shading by a vertex shader) is performed. When performing the vertex processing, vertex generation processing (tessellation, curved surface division, polygon division) for re-dividing the polygon may be performed as necessary.

  In the vertex processing, according to the vertex processing program (vertex shader program, first shader program), vertex movement processing, coordinate transformation, for example, world coordinate transformation, visual field transformation (camera coordinate transformation), clipping processing, perspective transformation (projection transformation) ), Geometry processing such as viewport conversion is performed, and based on the processing result, the vertex data given to the vertex group constituting the object is changed (updated or adjusted).

  Then, rasterization (scan conversion) is performed based on the vertex data after the vertex processing, and the surface of the polygon (primitive) is associated with the pixel. Subsequent to rasterization, pixel processing (shading or fragment processing by a pixel shader) for drawing pixels (fragments forming a display screen) constituting an image is performed. In pixel processing, according to a pixel processing program (pixel shader program, second shader program), various processes such as texture reading (texture mapping), color data setting / change, translucent composition, anti-aliasing, etc. are performed, and an image is processed. The final drawing color of the constituent pixels is determined, and the drawing color of the perspective-transformed object is output (drawn) to the image buffer 172 (buffer that can store image information in units of pixels; VRAM, rendering target, frame buffer). . That is, in pixel processing, per-pixel processing for setting or changing image information (color, normal, luminance, α value, etc.) in units of pixels is performed. Thereby, an image that can be seen from the virtual camera (given viewpoint) in the object space is generated.

  The vertex processing and pixel processing are realized by hardware that enables polygon (primitive) drawing processing to be programmed by a shader program written in a shading language, so-called programmable shaders (vertex shaders and pixel shaders). Programmable shaders can be programmed with vertex-level processing and pixel-level processing, so that the degree of freedom of drawing processing is high, and expressive power is greatly improved compared to conventional hardware-based fixed drawing processing. Can do.

  The drawing unit 120 performs geometry processing, texture mapping, hidden surface removal processing, α blending, and the like when drawing an object.

  In the geometry processing, processing such as coordinate conversion, clipping processing, perspective projection conversion, or light source calculation is performed on the object. Then, the object data (positional coordinates of object vertices, texture coordinates, color data (luminance data), normal vector, α value, etc.) after geometry processing (after perspective projection conversion) is stored in the storage unit 170. .

  Texture mapping is a process for mapping a texture (texel value) stored in the storage unit 170 to an object. Specifically, the texture (surface properties such as color (RGB) and α value) is read from the storage unit 170 using texture coordinates or the like set (given) to the vertex of the object. Then, a texture that is a two-dimensional image is mapped to an object. In this case, processing for associating pixels with texels, bilinear interpolation or the like is performed as texel interpolation.

  As the hidden surface removal processing, hidden surface removal processing can be performed by a Z buffer method (depth comparison method, Z test) using a Z buffer (depth buffer) in which Z values (depth information) of drawing pixels are stored. . That is, when drawing pixels corresponding to the primitive of the object are drawn, the Z value stored in the Z buffer is referred to. Then, the Z value of the referenced Z buffer is compared with the Z value at the drawing pixel of the primitive, and the Z value at the drawing pixel is a Z value (for example, a small Z value) on the near side when viewed from the virtual camera. In some cases, the drawing process of the drawing pixel is performed and the Z value of the Z buffer is updated to a new Z value.

  α blending (α synthesis) is a translucent synthesis process (usually α blending, addition α blending, subtraction α blending, or the like) based on an α value (A value).

  For example, in α blending, the drawing color (overwriting color) C1 to be drawn in the image buffer 172 and the drawing color (background color) C2 already drawn in the image buffer 172 (rendering target) are set to α values. Based on this, a linear synthesis process is performed. That is, if the final drawing color is C, it can be obtained by C = C1 * α + C2 * (1−α).

  The α value is information that can be stored in association with each pixel (texel, dot), for example, plus alpha information other than color information. The α value can be used as mask information, translucency (equivalent to transparency and opacity), bump information, and the like.

  The drawing unit 120 follows the movement of the operation target object of the terminal (first terminal) when performing a multiplayer online game in which data is transmitted / received to / from another terminal (second terminal) via the network. To generate an image that can be seen from a virtual camera (a virtual camera controlled by a terminal (first terminal)). That is, each terminal performs an independent drawing process.

  The sound processing unit 130 performs sound processing based on the results of various processes performed by the processing unit 100, generates a game sound such as BGM, sound effect, or sound, and outputs the game sound to the sound output unit 192.

  Note that the terminal according to the present embodiment may be controlled so that the game can be played in a single player mode in which only one player can play or in a multiplayer mode in which a plurality of players can play. For example, in the case of controlling in the multiplayer mode, game processing may be performed by transmitting / receiving data to / from other terminals via a network, or one terminal may receive input information from a plurality of input units. Processing may be performed based on this.

2. Outline In this embodiment, a moving object OB1 (own device, first object) to be operated by a player and a target object OB2 (enemy aircraft, second object) that is a computer object or an object of another player are mutually connected. Processing related to a flight shooting game that attacks with a missile or a cannon will be described.

  That is, in the game process of the present embodiment, a game process is performed in which the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2 target each other and fire a missile or a machine gun to shoot down the target. Therefore, the player who operates the moving object OB1 performs an attacking operation so that the moving object OB1 approaches the target object OB2, and a missile or a cannon fired from the moving object OB1 is hit by the target object OB2. An operation of moving the moving object OB1 is performed so as to avoid an attack such as a missile launched from OB2.

  In the present embodiment, correction processing is performed so that the moving object OB1 can be easily moved in the direction of the target object OB2. Details will be described below.

3. Description of Movement Control of Moving Body First, the input operation of the moving body (own device) OB1 to be operated by the player and the movement control based on the input information will be described.

3.1 Roll The behavior of the roll will be described. The roll refers to a behavior in which the moving body OB1 is rotated around the first axis with the front-rear direction of the moving body OB1 as a first axis. In other words, it is a process of rotating the mobile object OB1 around the model coordinate system z-axis.

  For example, when the first input information is received (for example, when the tilting direction of the analog lever LS is detected to be right or left (x-axis direction)), the moving object OB1 is rotated to the right or to the left. A rotation process (roll) is performed (executed).

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4 (A), when the moving body OB1 is in a horizontal state, the inclination angle value of the analog lever LS is greater than or equal to a predetermined angle value on the right (x axis plus). 4B, as shown in FIG. 4B, a process of rotating the moving body OB1 to the right by the angle θ per unit time is performed around the first axis.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 4A, when the moving body OB1 is in a horizontal state, when an inclination angle value equal to or greater than a predetermined angle value when the tilting direction of the analog lever LS is left (x-axis minus) is detected. As shown in FIG. 4C, a process of rotating the moving body OB1 around the first axis in the left direction by an angle θ per unit time is performed.

3.2 Pitch Next, the behavior of the pitch will be described. The pitch refers to a behavior in which the left and right direction of the moving body OB1 is the second axis and the moving body OB1 is rotated about the second axis. That is, the pitch is a process of rotating around the model coordinate system x-axis of the moving object OB1.

  For example, when the second input information is received (for example, when the tilting direction of the analog lever LS is detected to be up or down (z-axis direction)), the moving object OB1 is rotated up or down. A rotation process (pitch) is performed (executed).

  Here, the pitch includes pitch up (rise) and pitch down (fall). As shown in FIG. 5A, the pitch-up (rise) refers to a behavior of rotating the moving body OB1 about the second axis (about the x axis). That is, the pitch up refers to a behavior of rotating the traveling direction (nose) of the moving body OB1 upward. Therefore, when the traveling direction (nose) of the moving body OB1 is rotated upward, the moving body OB1 moves upward in the next frame.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 5A, when the moving body OB1 is oriented in the direction of V1-1, the inclination angle value equal to or greater than a predetermined angle value when the analog lever LS is tilted downward (minus the z axis). Is detected, a process of rotating the moving body OB1 upward by an angle θp per unit time around the second axis (around the x axis) is performed. That is, the moving body OB1 starts to rise in the direction of the vector VPa as a result.

  Further, the pitch down (down) refers to a behavior of rotating downward about the second axis (around the x axis) of the moving body OB1, as shown in FIG. That is, the pitch down refers to a behavior of rotating the traveling direction (nose) of the moving body OB1 downward. That is, when the traveling direction (nose) of the moving body OB1 is rotated downward, the moving body OB1 moves downward in the next frame.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 5B, when the moving body OB1 is oriented in the direction of V2-1, the inclination angle value equal to or greater than a predetermined angle value when the analog lever LS is tilted upward (plus the z axis). Is detected, a process of rotating the moving body OB1 downward by an angle θp per unit time is performed. That is, the moving body OB1 can be lowered by the vector VPb per unit time.

3.3 Yaw Next, the behavior of yaw will be described. Yaw refers to a behavior in which the vertical direction of the moving body OB1 is the third axis, and the moving body OB1 is rotated around the third axis. In other words, it refers to a behavior of rotating the moving direction (nose) of the moving body OB1 to the right or left. That is, yaw is a process of rotating the moving body OB1 around the model coordinate system y-axis. The first, second, and third axes are axes that perpendicularly intersect each other.

  For example, when the third input information is received, a third rotation process (yaw) for rotating the moving object OB1 is performed (executed). For example, when an input signal of the RB button is detected, a right yaw that rotates the moving body OB1 is performed, and when an input signal of the LB button is detected, a left yaw that rotates the moving body OB1 is performed. That is, when the traveling direction of the moving object OB1 is rotated to the right, the moving object OB1 moves to the right in the next frame. Further, when the traveling direction of the moving body OB1 is rotated to the left, the moving body OB1 moves to the left in the next frame.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, in the case where the moving object OB1 is facing the direction of V3-1, when an input signal (an example of third input information) of the RB button is detected, the unit time A process of rotating the moving body OB1 to the right by the contact angle θy is performed. That is, the moving object OB1 can move right by the vector VYa per unit time.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 6B, when the moving object OB1 is directed in the direction of V4-1, when an input signal (an example of third input information) of the LB button is detected, a unit time A process of rotating the moving body OB1 in the left direction by the contact angle θy is performed. That is, the moving object OB1 can move left by the vector VYb per unit time.

3.4 Example of Movement Control In this embodiment, the first, second, and second rotation processes (roll), the second rotation process (pitch), and the third rotation process (yaw) are performed. The third input information is received independently and individually. Therefore, the player can attack the mobile object OB1 (own machine) close to the target object OB2 (enemy machine) by arbitrarily selecting a roll and a pitch and sequentially operating them. In the present embodiment, two rotation processes among the first rotation process, the second rotation process, and the third rotation process, or all the rotation processes (three rotation processes) may be executed simultaneously. Good.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 7A, when the target object OB2 is relatively positioned on the upper right of the moving object OB1, it is advantageous that the player performs the following moving operation. That is, as shown in FIG. 7B, the player rolls the moving body OB1 in the right direction by an angle θ1 in the direction connecting the moving body OB1 and the target object OB2, and then moves to FIG. As shown in C), the moving body OB1 is pitched up and moved in the moving direction V10. In this way, it becomes easy to attack the moving object OB1 by approaching the target object OB2.

4). However, as shown in FIGS. 7A to 7C, the mobile object OB1 is rotated rightward by an angle θ1 in the direction connecting the mobile object OB1 (own machine) and the target object OB2 (enemy machine). It takes a lot of skill to make it happen.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, the player rolls the moving object OB1 rightward by an angle θ2 smaller than the angle in the direction connecting the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2. There is. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8C, even if the moving object OB1 is pitched up and moved in the moving direction V20, it is impossible to bring the moving object OB1 closer to the target object OB2. As described above, since the rotation operation of the roll is very difficult, the player is stressed.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, correction processing is performed so that the moving object OB1 can be easily moved relative to the target object OB2.

4.1 Roll Correction Processing During Pitch Processing In the present embodiment, the moving object and the target during the second rotation processing (pitch rotation processing) based on the second input information (pitch input information). Based on the positional relationship with the object, the first rotation process (roll) is performed as a correction process.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 9A, it is assumed that the moving body OB1 is rolled rightward by an angle θ30 based on the input information of the player's roll.

  Thereafter, in the present embodiment, when pitch input information (for example, pitch-up input information) is received from the player, as shown in FIG. 9B during the pitch processing based on the pitch input information. Based on the position P30 of the moving object OB1 and Q30 of the target object OB2, the moving object OB1 is rotated to the right by the angle θ31.

  In other words, in the present embodiment, the moving direction of the moving object OB1 approaches the direction connecting the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2 during the processing of the pitch based on the input information of the pitch, regardless of the input information of the roll. The roll is performed as a correction process.

  In this embodiment, the rotation angle of the roll to be performed as the correction process is determined based on the position of the moving object OB1 and the position of the target object OB2. For example, around the first axis (around the z-axis of the model coordinates of the moving object OB1 (in the xy plane of the model coordinates of the moving object OB1)), the direction connecting the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2, and the direction of the moving object The rotation amount (rotation angle) of the roll performed as the correction process is obtained according to the angle φ formed by For example, the amount of rotation of the roll is 0 or more and smaller than the angle φ. For example, the rotation amount of the roll can be a value obtained by multiplying the angle φ by a correction coefficient K (0 <K <1). In the present embodiment, the rotation angle of the roll to be performed as a correction process is obtained for each frame.

  In the present embodiment, the roll rotation direction to be performed as the correction process is determined based on the position of the moving object OB1 and the position of the target object OB2. For example, around the first axis, the moving body OB1 is rotated in a rotation direction (a rotation direction forming an inner angle) close to a direction connecting the moving body OB1 and the target object OB2. In the present embodiment, the rotation direction of the roll performed as a correction process is obtained for each frame.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 9B, in the Nth frame, a direction a33 connecting the position P30 of the moving object OB1 and the position Q30 of the target object OB2 and the direction a31 of the moving object OB1 around the first axis. The rotation amount (rotation angle) θ31 of the roll performed as correction processing is obtained according to the angle φa formed by For example, the rotation amount θ31 of the roll is a value obtained by multiplying the angle φa by a correction coefficient K (0 <K <1). Then, the moving body OB1 is rotated by θ31 in the right direction that is the rotation direction (the rotation direction forming the inner angle) close to the direction a33 connecting the moving body OB1 and the target object OB2. That is, in the Nth frame, the moving body OB1 is moved in the direction of V30.

  As shown in FIG. 9C, in the (N + 1) th frame, the direction a35 connecting the position P31 of the moving object OB1 and the position Q31 of the target object OB2 and the direction a32 of the moving object OB1 around the first axis. The rotation amount (rotation angle) θ32 of the roll performed as the correction process is obtained according to the angle φb formed by For example, the rotation amount θ32 of the roll is a value obtained by multiplying the angle φb by a correction coefficient K (0 <K <1). Then, the moving body OB1 is rotated by θ32 in the right direction that is the rotation direction (the rotation direction forming the inner angle) close to the direction a35 connecting the moving body OB1 and the target object OB2. That is, in the (N + 1) th frame, the moving body OB1 is moved in the direction of V31.

  As described above, in this embodiment, since the player can naturally assist the right roll while pitching up, the moving object OB1 is set as the target object OB2 without giving the player a sense of incongruity. Can be approached.

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 10A to 10C, the player deviates from the direction connecting the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2, and rolls the moving object OB1 rightward at a large angle θ4. Sometimes it ends up. For example, as shown in FIG. 10C, even if the moving object OB1 is pitched up and moved in the moving direction V40, it is difficult to bring the moving object OB1 closer to the target object OB2. As described above, in the present embodiment, even when the player has excessively rotated the roll, correction processing is performed.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 11A, it is assumed that the moving body OB1 is rolled rightward by an angle θ50 based on the player's roll input information.

  Thereafter, in this embodiment, when pitch input information (for example, pitch-up input information) is received from the player, as shown in FIG. 11B during the pitch processing based on the pitch input information. Based on the position P50 of the moving object OB1 and the Q50 of the target object OB2, the moving object OB1 is rotated to the left by the angle θ51.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 11B, in the Nth frame, a direction a53 connecting the position P50 of the moving object OB1 and the position Q50 of the target object OB2 and the direction a51 of the moving object OB1 around the first axis. The rotation amount (rotation angle) θ51 of the roll performed as correction processing is obtained according to the angle φc formed by For example, the rotation amount θ51 of the roll is a value obtained by multiplying the angle φc by a correction coefficient K (0 <K <1). Then, the moving body OB1 is rotated by θ51 in the left direction that is the rotation direction (the rotation direction forming the inner angle) close to the direction a53 connecting the moving body OB1 and the target object OB2. That is, in the Nth frame, the moving body OB1 is moved in the direction of V50.

  As shown in FIG. 11C, in the (N + 1) th frame, a direction a55 connecting the position P51 of the moving object OB1 and the position Q51 of the target object OB2 and the direction a52 of the moving object OB1 around the first axis. The rotation amount (rotation angle) θ52 of the roll performed as the correction process is obtained according to the angle φd formed by For example, the rotation amount θ52 of the roll is a value obtained by multiplying the angle φd by a correction coefficient K (0 <K <1). Then, the moving body OB1 is rotated by θ52 in the left direction that is the rotation direction (the rotation direction forming the inner angle) close to the direction a55 connecting the moving body OB1 and the target object OB2. That is, in the (N + 1) th frame, the moving body OB1 is moved in the direction of V51.

  Thus, in this embodiment, even when the player has excessively rotated the right roll, the player can naturally assist the left roll while the player is pitching up. Therefore, the moving object OB1 can be brought close to the target object OB2 without causing the player to feel uncomfortable.

  In the present embodiment, the rotation amount of the first rotation processing (roll rotation amount) performed as the correction processing according to the angle φ formed by the direction connecting the moving body OB1 and the target object OB2 and the direction of the moving body OB1. ) May be changed. For example, as shown in FIG. 12A, the correction process is performed as the angle φ formed between the direction connecting the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2 and the direction of the moving object OB1 increases around the first axis. Increase the amount of roll rotation. That is, as the angle φ is larger, the moving body OB1 and the target object OB2 are greatly displaced, so the rotation amount of the roll is increased. On the other hand, when the angle φ is small, since the deviation is small, the rotation amount of the roll is made small so that the operation is not too easy.

  In the present embodiment, the rotation amount of the first rotation process performed as the correction process (the rotation amount of the roll) may be changed according to the moving speed of the moving object OB1. For example, as shown in FIG. 12B, as the moving speed of the moving body OB1 increases, the rotation amount of the roll performed as the correction process is decreased. Normally, the faster the acceleration is, the easier the moving object OB1 approaches the target object OB2, and during the acceleration, if a correction process that makes the moving object OB1 closer to the target object OB2 is added, the operation becomes simpler. It becomes too much. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the amount of roll rotation performed as correction processing is reduced in accordance with the acceleration of the moving body. Also, based on the laws of physics, the more the moving body OB1 is accelerated, the more the rotational force is suppressed. Therefore, in order to realize a more natural movement, the correction is made according to the acceleration of the moving body OB1. It is preferable to reduce the amount of roll rotation performed as a treatment.

  Note that the maximum value of the rotation amount of the roll performed as the correction process is set to a value smaller than an angle φ formed between the direction connecting the moving body and the target object and the direction of the moving body around the first axis.

  In the present embodiment, correction processing is performed according to the angle φ formed by the direction connecting the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2 and the direction of the moving object and the moving speed of the moving object OB1 around the first axis. You may make it change the rotation amount of the roll to perform.

  In this embodiment, roll correction processing may be performed in a pitch based on input information based on pitch down as well as pitch up.

4.2 Yaw Correction Processing During Pitch Processing In this embodiment, third rotation processing (yaw) may be performed as correction processing during pitch processing.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 13A to 13C, even if the moving object OB1 (own machine) can be raised based on the input information for pitch-up, the moving object OB1 is moved to the right. Otherwise, it is difficult to shoot the target object OB2. Therefore, in the present embodiment, during the second rotation process (pitch rotation process) based on the second input information (pitch input information), the third object is determined based on the positional relationship between the moving object and the target object. The rotation process (yaw) is performed as a correction process.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 14A, it is assumed that the target object OB2 is positioned on the upper right side relative to the moving object OB1. In this embodiment, when pitch input information (for example, pitch-up input information) is received from the player, the pitch-up movement is performed as shown in FIG. 14B during the pitch processing based on the pitch input information. In addition to the vector VPa1, the right yaw movement vector VYa1 is added to control the movement in the direction of the movement vector V70 that causes the moving object OB1 to approach the target object OB2. Also, in the next frame, as shown in FIG. 14C, not only the pitch-up movement vector VPa2 but also the right yaw vector VYa2 is added to move the moving object OB1 closer to the target object OB2. Movement control is performed in the direction of V71.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B, in this embodiment, the yaw rotation angle to be performed as the correction process is determined based on the position of the moving object OB1 and the position of the target object OB2. For example, around the third axis (around the y-axis of the model coordinates of the moving object OB1 (in the xz plane of the model coordinates of the moving object OB1)), the direction connecting the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2, and the direction of the moving object The amount of rotation (rotation angle) of yaw to be performed as correction processing is obtained according to the angle φ formed by For example, the rotation amount of yaw is 0 or more and is smaller than the angle φ. For example, the amount of yaw rotation may be a value obtained by multiplying the angle φ by a correction coefficient K (0 <K <1). In the present embodiment, the rotation angle of the yaw performed as the correction process is obtained for each frame.

  In the present embodiment, the yaw rotation direction to be performed as correction processing is determined based on the position of the moving object OB1 and the position of the target object OB2. For example, around the third axis, the moving body OB1 is rotated in a rotation direction (a rotation direction forming an inner angle) close to a direction connecting the moving body OB1 and the target object OB2. In the present embodiment, the rotation direction of the yaw performed as the correction process is obtained for each frame.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 15 (A), in the Nth frame, around the third axis, a direction a70 connecting the position P70 of the moving object OB1 and the position Q70 of the target object OB2 and the direction V69 of the moving object OB1. The amount of yaw rotation (rotation angle) θ70 to be performed as a correction process is obtained in accordance with the angle φe formed by. For example, the rotation amount θ70 of yaw is a value obtained by multiplying the angle φe by a correction coefficient K (0 <K <1). Then, the moving body OB1 is rotated by θ70 in the right direction, which is the rotation direction (the rotation direction forming the inner angle) close to the direction a70 connecting the moving body OB1 and the target object OB2. That is, in the Nth frame, the moving body OB1 is moved in the direction of V70.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 15B, in the (N + 1) th frame, around the third axis, the direction a71 connecting the position P71 of the moving object OB1 and the position Q71 of the target object OB2, and the direction V70 of the moving object OB1 The yaw rotation amount (rotation angle) θ71 to be performed as the correction process is obtained according to the angle φf formed by. For example, the yaw rotation amount θ71 is a value obtained by multiplying the angle φf by a correction coefficient K (0 <K <1). Then, the moving body OB1 is rotated by θ71 in the right direction, which is the rotation direction (rotation direction forming the inner angle) close to the direction a71 connecting the moving body OB1 and the target object OB2. That is, in the (N + 1) th frame, the moving body OB1 is moved in the direction of V71.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, since the player can naturally assist the right yaw while pitching up, the moving object OB1 is made the target object OB2 without giving the player a sense of incongruity. Can be approached.

  Further, for example, as shown in FIGS. 16A and 16B, the player may accidentally move to the right beyond the target object OB2 by mistake in the yaw operation. Therefore, in this embodiment, yaw correction processing is performed so that the moving object OB1 can be brought closer to the target object OB2 even when the player has excessively operated the yaw.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 16A, it is assumed that the target object OB2 is located on the upper right side relative to the moving object OB1. Then, as shown in FIG. 16B, based on the player's right yaw input information, the moving body OB1 is moved in the direction of the rightward movement vector VYa3. It is assumed that pitch input information (for example, pitch up input information) is received.

  In this embodiment, when pitch-up input information from the player is received, during pitch processing based on the pitch-up input information, as shown in FIG. 16C, not only the pitch-up movement vector VPa4, The movement control is performed in the movement direction V80 so that the moving object OB1 approaches the target object OB2 by adding the left yaw movement vector VYb4.

  In other words, as shown in FIG. 17, when pitch input information from the player is received, during the pitch processing based on the pitch input information, based on the position P81 of the moving object OB1 and the Q81 of the target object OB2. Then, yaw is performed by rotating the moving body OB1 counterclockwise by an angle θ80.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 17, in the Nth frame, a direction a80 connecting the position P81 of the moving object OB1 and the position Q81 of the target object OB2 and the direction V79 of the moving object OB1 around the third axis. A yaw rotation amount (rotation angle) θ80 to be performed as a correction process is obtained according to the angle φg. For example, the rotation amount θ80 of yaw is a value obtained by multiplying the angle φg by a correction coefficient K (0 <K <1). Then, the moving body OB1 is rotated by θ80 in the left direction which is a rotation direction (rotation direction forming an inner angle) close to the direction a80 connecting the moving body OB1 and the target object OB2. That is, in the Nth frame, the moving object OB1 is moved in the direction of the vector V80.

  As described above, in this embodiment, even when the player has excessively rotated the right yaw, the player can naturally assist the left yaw while the player is pitching up. Therefore, the moving object OB1 can be brought close to the target object OB2 without causing the player to feel uncomfortable.

  In the present embodiment, the rotation amount (yaw rotation amount) of the third rotation processing performed as the correction processing according to the angle φ formed by the direction connecting the moving body OB1 and the target object OB2 and the direction of the moving body OB1. ) May be changed. For example, as shown in FIG. 12A, the correction processing is performed as the angle φ formed between the direction connecting the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2 and the direction of the moving object OB1 increases around the third axis. Increase the amount of roll rotation.

  In the present embodiment, the rotation amount (yaw rotation amount) of the third rotation process performed as the correction process may be changed according to the moving speed of the moving object OB1. For example, as shown in FIG. 12B, as the moving speed of the moving body OB1 increases (accelerates), the rotation amount of the roll performed as the correction process is decreased.

  Note that the maximum value of the yaw rotation amount performed as the correction process is smaller than the angle φ formed by the direction connecting the moving body and the target object and the direction of the moving body around the third axis.

  In the present embodiment, correction processing is performed in accordance with the angle φ formed between the direction connecting the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2 and the direction of the moving object and the moving speed of the moving object OB1 around the third axis. The amount of yaw rotation to be performed may be changed.

  In the present embodiment, yaw correction processing may be performed in a pitch based on input information based on pitch down as well as pitch up.

4.3 Roll and Yaw Correction Processing During Pitch Processing In this embodiment, movement is performed during the second rotation processing (pitch processing) based on the second input information (pitch input information). Based on the positional relationship between the body and the target object, the correction process of the first rotation process (roll) and the correction process of the third rotation process (yaw) may be performed simultaneously. In the present embodiment, only the correction process of the first rotation process (roll) is performed based on the positional relationship between the moving object and the target object during the second rotation process based on the second input information. Alternatively, only the correction process of the third rotation process (yaw) may be performed.

4.4 Pitch Correction Processing In the present embodiment, when the second input information (pitch input information) is received, it is brought closer to the direction connecting the moving object OB1 (own device) and the target object OB2 (enemy aircraft). You may make it perform the correction process of a 2nd rotation process (pitch).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 18A, when the moving object OB1 is positioned below the target object OB2, the correction object for further raising the moving object OB1 to the ascending movement vector based on the pitch-up input information. The movement vector F1 is added, and the moving body OB1 is raised by the movement vector VPa90. That is, the ascent is increased and the moving object OB1 is brought closer to the target object OB2.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 18B, when the moving object OB1 is located above the target object OB2, the correction movement for lowering the moving object OB1 to the ascending movement vector based on the pitch-up input information. The vector F2 is added, and the moving body OB1 is raised by the movement vector VPa92. That is, the moving object OB1 is brought close to the target object OB2 so as to suppress the rise.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 19A, around the second axis (around the x-axis of the model coordinates of the moving object OB1 (in the zy plane of the model coordinates of the moving object OB1)), the moving object OB1 is moved by θ90. When the input information of the upward pitch (pitch up) to be rotated upward is received, a correction rotation amount θ91 is further added to assist the pitch up rotation. That is, the rotation amount of the moving body OB1 about the second axis is set to the angle θ92, and the rotation process is performed to increase the pitch by the angle θ92.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 19B, when input information of an upward pitch (pitch up) for rotating the moving body OB1 upward by θ95 around the second axis is received, It moves away from the position Q91 of OB2. Therefore, the correction rotation amount θ93 is subtracted to assist the pitch-up rotation. That is, a rotation process is performed in which the rotation amount of the moving body OB1 around the second axis is set to an angle θ94 and the pitch is increased by the angle θ94.

  That is, there is a case where the player's pitch rotation operation does not have enough rotation amount to approach the target object OB2 or erroneously performs a rotation operation to move away from the target object OB2. Therefore, in this embodiment, rotation is assisted by adding or subtracting the corrected rotation amount to the rotation amount based on the pitch input information. In this embodiment, in order to perform natural assistance, when the pitch input information is received, the rotation direction is not corrected, but only the rotation amount is corrected.

  In the present embodiment, the correction rotation amount is obtained based on the angle β between the direction connecting the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2 and the direction of the moving object based on the second input information around the second axis. You may do it. In the present embodiment, a correction rotation amount to be performed as a correction process for each frame may be obtained.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 19A, around the second axis, the direction a94 connecting the position P90 of the moving object OB1 and the position Q90 of the target object OB2 and the direction of the moving object based on the pitch-up input information A correction rotation amount θ91 to be performed as correction processing is obtained according to the angle βa formed with V89. For example, the correction rotation amount θ91 of the roll is a value obtained by multiplying the angle βa by a correction coefficient K (0 <K <1). Then, the rotation amount is rotated by θ92 obtained by adding the correction rotation amount θ91 to the rotation amount θ90 based on the pitch-up input information. In other words, the moving object OB1 is moved in the direction of the vector V90 (moved upward by the vector VPa90).

  In the example of FIG. 19A, the rotation process based on the pitch input information around the second axis changes the direction of the moving object OB1, the position P90 of the moving object OB1, and the position Q90 of the target object OB2. Since the direction is close to the connecting direction a94, a process of adding the corrected rotation amount to the rotation amount based on the pitch input information is performed.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 19B, the angle βb formed by the direction a95 connecting the position P91 of the moving object OB1 and the position Q91 of the target object OB2 and the direction V93 of the moving object based on the pitch-up input information. Accordingly, a correction rotation amount θ93 to be performed as correction processing is obtained. For example, the pitch correction rotation amount θ93 is a value obtained by multiplying the angle βb by a correction coefficient K (0 <K <1). Then, the rotation amount is rotated by θ94 obtained by subtracting the correction rotation amount θ93 from the rotation amount θ95 based on the pitch-up input information. In other words, the moving body OB1 is moved in the direction of the vector V92 (the vector VPa92 is moved upward).

  In the example of FIG. 19B, the rotation process based on the pitch input information around the second axis changes the direction of the moving object OB1, the position P91 of the moving object OB1, and the position Q91 of the target object OB2. Since it is away from the connecting direction a95, a process of subtracting the corrected rotation amount from the rotation amount based on the pitch input information is performed.

  Note that, as shown in FIG. 19A, the maximum value of the corrected rotation amount when the rotation amount is added and corrected is the second direction around the second axis and the direction connecting the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2. It is set to a value smaller than the angle βa formed by the direction of the moving body based on the input information. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 19B, the maximum value of the corrected rotation amount when the rotation amount is corrected by subtraction is set to a value smaller than the rotation amount θ95 based on the second input information.

  As described above, in this embodiment, since the player can naturally assist the pitch while the player is performing the pitch, the moving object OB1 is brought closer to the target object OB2 without giving the player a sense of incongruity. be able to.

  In the present embodiment, the amount of rotation of the pitch is changed according to the angle β between the direction connecting the moving body and the target object and the direction of the moving body based on the pitch input information around the second axis. You may do it. That is, the pitch correction rotation amount may be changed according to the angle β. For example, as shown in FIG. 12A, the pitch rotation amount is increased as the angle β increases. That is, the larger the angle β, the greater the displacement between the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2, so the amount of rotation is increased. On the other hand, when the angle β is small, the amount of rotation is small so that the operation is not too easy because there is little deviation.

  In the present embodiment, the amount of rotation of the pitch may be changed according to the speed of the moving object OB1. For example, as shown in FIG. 12B, as the moving speed of the moving object OB1 increases (accelerates), the pitch correction rotation amount performed as the correction process is decreased. This is to make the operation difficulty moderate and to realize more natural movement. In other words, this is to realize a bargaining that it is easy to approach when accelerated but difficult to correct, and difficult to operate when decelerated. Further, in the present embodiment, the angle β between the direction connecting the moving body and the target object and the direction of the moving body based on the input information of the pitch around the second axis, and the speed of the moving body, You may make it change the rotation amount of a pitch.

  In this embodiment, the pitch correction processing may be performed in the pitch based on the input information based on the pitch down as well as the pitch up. That is, when the player performs a pitch-down rotation operation, if the rotation amount approaching the target object OB2 is insufficient, the correction rotation amount for pitch-down is further added. In addition, when the player erroneously performs a rotation operation that moves away from the target object OB2, the correction amount of rotation is subtracted from the amount of rotation based on the input information of the pitch, thereby assisting to suppress the rotation.

4.5 Yaw Correction Processing In this embodiment, when the third input information (yaw input information) is received, the yaw correction process is made closer to the direction connecting the moving object OB1 (own device) and the target object OB2 (enemy aircraft). You may make it perform the correction process of a 3rd rotation process (yaw).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 20A, when the moving object OB1 is located on the left side of the target object OB2, the correction for moving the moving object OB1 further to the right based on the right movement vector based on the right yaw input information. The moving object OB1 is moved to the right by the moving vector VYa100. That is, the rightward movement is increased and the moving object OB1 is brought closer to the target object OB2.

  As shown in FIG. 20B, when the moving object OB1 is positioned on the right side of the target object OB2, the right movement vector based on the right yaw input information is corrected to suppress the right movement of the moving object OB1. The moving object OB1 is moved to the right by the moving vector VYa102. That is, the right movement is suppressed and the moving object OB1 is brought closer to the target object OB2.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 21A, when input information of yaw in the right direction for rotating the moving body OB1 to the right by θ100 is received around the third axis, rotation of the right yaw is further performed. In order to assist, the correction rotation amount θ101 is added. That is, the amount of rotation of the moving body OB1 around the third axis is set to the angle θ102, and is rotated rightward by the angle θ102.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 21B, when the right yaw input information for rotating the moving body OB1 to the right by θ105 is received around the third axis, the information is moved away from the position Q101 of the target object OB2. End up. Therefore, the correction rotation amount θ103 is subtracted in order to suppress and assist the rotation of the right yaw. That is, the amount of rotation of the moving body OB1 around the third axis is set to the angle θ104, and is rotated rightward by the angle θ104.

  That is, the rotation operation of the player's yaw may not be enough to rotate toward the target object OB2 or may be erroneously performed so as to move away from the target object OB2. Therefore, in this embodiment, rotation is assisted by adding or subtracting the corrected rotation amount to the rotation amount based on the yaw input information. In this embodiment, in order to perform natural assistance, when the yaw input information is received, the rotation direction is not corrected, but only the rotation amount is corrected.

  In the present embodiment, the corrected rotation amount is obtained based on the angle β formed between the direction connecting the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2 and the direction of the moving object based on the third input information around the third axis. May be. In the present embodiment, a correction rotation amount to be performed as a correction process for each frame may be obtained.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 21A, around the third axis, a direction a101 connecting the position P100 of the moving object OB1 and the position Q100 of the target object OB2 and the direction V99 of the moving object based on the yaw input information. A correction rotation amount θ101 to be performed as a correction process is obtained according to the angle βc formed by For example, the correction rotation amount θ101 of the roll is a value obtained by multiplying the angle βc by a correction coefficient K (0 <K <1). Then, the rotation amount is rotated by θ102 obtained by adding the correction rotation amount θ101 to the rotation amount θ100 based on the yaw input information. That is, the moving body OB1 is moved in the direction of the vector V100 (the vector VYa100 is moved to the right).

  In the example of FIG. 21A, the rotation process based on the input information of yaw around the third axis changes the direction of the moving object OB1, the position P100 of the moving object OB1, and the position Q100 of the target object OB2. Since the direction is close to the connecting direction a101, a process of adding the corrected rotation amount to the rotation amount based on the yaw input information is performed.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 21B, according to the angle βd formed by the direction a102 connecting the position P101 of the moving object OB1 and the position Q101 of the target object OB2 and the direction V103 of the moving object based on the yaw input information. Thus, a correction rotation amount θ103 to be performed as correction processing is obtained. For example, the yaw correction rotation amount θ103 is a value obtained by multiplying the angle βd by a correction coefficient K (0 <K <1). Then, the rotation amount is rotated by θ104 obtained by subtracting the correction rotation amount θ103 from the rotation amount θ105 based on the yaw input information. In other words, the moving object OB1 is moved in the direction of the vector V102 (the vector VYa102 is moved to the right).

  In the example of FIG. 21B, the rotation process based on the yaw input information around the third axis changes the direction of the moving object OB1, the position P101 of the moving object OB1, and the position Q101 of the target object OB2. Since it is away from the connecting direction a102, a process of subtracting the corrected rotation amount from the rotation amount based on the yaw input information is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 21A, the maximum value of the correction rotation amount when the rotation amount is added and corrected is the direction connecting the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2 around the third axis, and the third value. The value is smaller than the angle βc formed by the direction of the moving body based on the input information. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 21B, the maximum value of the corrected rotation amount when the rotation amount is corrected by subtraction is set to a value smaller than the rotation amount θ105 based on the third input information.

  As described above, in this embodiment, since the player can naturally assist yaw while performing the yaw operation, the moving object OB1 approaches the target object OB2 without making the player feel uncomfortable. Can be made.

  In this embodiment, the amount of yaw rotation is changed around the third axis according to the angle β between the direction connecting the moving object and the target object and the direction of the moving object based on the yaw input information. You may do it. That is, the yaw correction rotation amount may be changed according to the angle β. For example, as shown in FIG. 12A, the amount of yaw rotation is increased as the angle β increases. That is, the larger the angle β, the greater the displacement between the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2, so the amount of rotation is increased. On the other hand, when the angle β is small, the amount of rotation is small so that the operation is not too easy because there is little deviation.

  In this embodiment, the amount of yaw rotation may be changed according to the speed of the moving object OB1. For example, as shown in FIG. 12B, as the moving speed of the moving object OB1 increases (accelerates), the correction rotation amount of yaw performed as correction processing is decreased. This is to make the operation difficulty moderate and to realize more natural movement. In other words, this is to realize a bargaining that it is easy to approach when accelerated but difficult to correct, and difficult to operate when decelerated. In the present embodiment, the angle β between the direction connecting the moving body and the target object and the direction of the moving body based on the yaw input information around the third axis, and the speed of the moving body, The amount of yaw rotation may be changed.

  In the present embodiment, yaw correction processing may be performed during left yaw processing based on input information based on left yaw as well as right yaw. That is, when the player performs the left yaw rotation operation, if the rotation amount approaching the target object OB2 is insufficient, the correction rotation amount to the left yaw is further added. In addition, when the player performs a left yaw rotation operation, if the rotation operation that moves away from the target object OB2 is erroneously performed, the correction rotation amount is subtracted from the rotation amount based on the yaw input information to suppress the rotation. To assist.

4.6 Roll Correction Process In this embodiment, when first input information (roll input information) is received, a first rotation process (roll) for bringing the moving body OB1 and the target object OB2 closer to each other is performed. This correction process may be performed.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 22A, when the input information of the roll in the right direction for rotating the moving body OB1 to the right by θ110 is received, the rotation around the first axis is insufficient. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the correction rotation amount θ111 is further added to assist the rotation of the right roll. That is, the rotation amount of the moving body OB1 around the first axis is set to the angle θ112, and the right angle is rotated by the angle θ112.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 22B, when the input information of the right roll for rotating the moving body OB1 to the right by θ113 is received, the rotation around the first axis is the direction of the target object OB2. It ’s going away. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the correction rotation amount θ114 is subtracted in order to suppress and assist the rotation of the right roll. That is, the amount of rotation of the moving body OB1 around the first axis is set to the angle θ115, and is rotated to the right by the angle θ115.

  That is, there is a case where the player's roll rotation operation does not have enough rotation amount to approach the target object OB2, or the rotation operation to move away from the target object OB2 may be performed erroneously. Therefore, in this embodiment, rotation is assisted by adding or subtracting the corrected rotation amount to the rotation amount based on the input information of the roll. In this embodiment, in order to perform natural assistance, when the roll input information is received, the rotation direction is not corrected, but only the rotation amount is corrected.

  In the present embodiment, the corrected rotation amount is obtained based on the angle β formed between the direction connecting the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2 and the direction of the moving object based on the first input information around the first axis. May be. In the present embodiment, a correction rotation amount to be performed as a correction process for each frame may be obtained.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 22A, according to an angle βe formed by a direction a113 connecting the position P110 of the moving object OB1 and the position Q110 of the target object OB2 and the direction a111 of the moving object based on the input information of the roll. Thus, a correction rotation amount θ111 to be performed as correction processing is obtained. For example, the correction rotation amount θ111 of the roll is a value obtained by multiplying the angle βe by a correction coefficient K (0 <K <1). Then, the rotation amount is rotated by θ112 obtained by adding the correction rotation amount θ111 to the rotation amount θ110 based on the input information of the roll.

  In the example of FIG. 22A, the rotation processing based on the input information of the roll around the first axis changes the direction of the moving object OB1, the position P110 of the moving object OB1, and the position Q110 of the target object OB2. Since it is close to the connecting direction a113, a process of adding the corrected rotation amount to the rotation amount based on the input information of the roll is performed.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 22B, according to the angle βf formed by the direction a114 connecting the position P111 of the moving object OB1 and the position Q111 of the target object OB2 and the direction a117 of the moving object based on the input information of the roll. Thus, a correction rotation amount θ114 to be performed as correction processing is obtained. For example, the correction rotation amount θ114 of the roll is a value obtained by multiplying the angle βf by a correction coefficient K (0 <K <1). Then, the rotation amount is rotated by θ115 obtained by subtracting the correction rotation amount θ114 from the rotation amount θ113 based on the input information of the roll.

  In the example of FIG. 22B, the rotation process based on the input information of the roll around the first axis changes the direction of the moving object OB1, the position P111 of the moving object OB1, and the position Q111 of the target object OB2. Since it is away from the connecting direction a114, a process of subtracting the corrected rotation amount from the rotation amount based on the input information of the roll is performed.

  Note that, as shown in FIG. 22A, the maximum value of the correction rotation amount when the rotation amount is added and corrected is the first direction around the first axis and the direction connecting the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2. The value is smaller than the angle βe formed with the direction of the moving body based on the input information. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 22B, the maximum value of the corrected rotation amount when the rotation amount is corrected by subtraction is set to a value smaller than the rotation amount θ113 based on the first input information.

  As described above, in this embodiment, since the player can naturally assist the roll while the player is performing the roll operation, the moving object OB1 approaches the target object OB2 without giving the player a sense of incongruity. Can be made.

  In this embodiment, the amount of rotation of the roll is changed according to an angle β formed between the direction connecting the moving body and the target object and the direction of the moving body based on the input information of the roll around the first axis. You may do it. That is, the correction rotation amount of the roll may be changed according to the angle β. For example, as shown in FIG. 12A, the rotation amount of the roll is increased as the angle β increases. That is, the larger the angle β, the greater the displacement between the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2, so the amount of rotation is increased. On the other hand, when the angle β is small, the amount of rotation is small so that the operation is not too easy because there is little deviation.

  In the present embodiment, the rotation amount of the roll may be changed according to the speed of the moving object OB1. For example, as shown in FIG. 12B, as the moving speed of the moving object OB1 increases (accelerates), the correction rotation amount of the roll performed as the correction process is decreased. This is to make the operation difficulty moderate and to realize more natural movement. In other words, this is to realize a bargaining that it is easy to approach when accelerated but difficult to correct, and difficult to operate when decelerated. Further, in the present embodiment, around the third axis, according to the angle β formed by the direction connecting the moving body and the target object and the direction of the moving body based on the input information of the roll, and the speed of the moving body, You may make it change the rotation amount of a roll.

  In the present embodiment, the roll correction process may be performed during the process of the left roll based on the input information based on the left roll as well as the right roll. That is, when the player performs the left roll rotation operation, if the rotation amount approaching the target object OB2 is insufficient, the correction rotation amount for the left roll is further added. In addition, when the player performs a left roll rotation operation, if the rotation operation that moves away from the target object OB2 is erroneously performed, the correction rotation amount is subtracted from the rotation amount based on the yaw input information to suppress the rotation. To assist.

5. Selection Processing In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 23A, when there are a plurality of target objects OB2 to OB5 in the object space, based on the positional relationship between the moving object OB1 and each of the target objects OB2 to OB5. To select one target object. Then, correction processing is performed based on the moving object OB1 and the selected target object.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 23A, the target object exists in a conical volume AR having a radius r, with the position P200 of the moving object OB1 as a vertex, and the distance from the moving object OB1 is Select the nearest target object. For example, in the example of FIG. 23A, since the target object OB2 is outside the volume AR, it is first excluded. Then, each of the target objects OB3 to OB5 and the moving object OB1 existing in the volume AR and the linear distances L3, L4, and L5 are obtained. Then, the target object OB4 that is the shortest distance is selected.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 23B, the target object closest to the projection point O of the moving object OB1 may be selected on the screen SC. For example, as shown in FIG. 23B, an object closest to the center point O (projection point of the moving object OB1) is selected in a circle AR-1 obtained by projecting the conical volume AR. For example, if the points I2 to I5 of the target objects OB2 to OB5 in FIG. 23A are projected onto the screen SC are J2 to J5, the position J4 where OB4 is projected and the position J5 where OB5 is projected are the most from the center. close. Therefore, OB4 or OB5 may be selected. Of OB4 and OB5, OB4 is closer to the moving object OB1, so OB4 may be selected.

  In the present embodiment, one target object may be selected based on a predetermined parameter such as the threat power value of each target object. Further, selection of one target object from a plurality of target objects may be received based on selection input information of the player. Further, one target object may be selected based on the power value of the enemy aircraft indicating whether each target object (enemy aircraft) is strong or weak.

  Alternatively, a “tilted table” or the like may be prepared for a plurality of elements, and the target object with the highest score may be selected. For example, the linear distance between the moving object OB1 and the target objects OB2 to OB5 is one of the elements, and a scoring table in which a higher score is obtained as the straight line distance is closer is prepared. Each target object is scored with reference to the table. In addition, the distance between the projection point (center point) of the moving object OB1 on the screen SC and the position J2 to J5 of the target object is one of the elements. In SC, based on the distance between the projected point of the moving object OB1 and the projected point of the target object, each target object is scored with reference to the score table. Alternatively, each parameter such as the threat power value of each target object may be one of the elements, a score table may be prepared for each parameter, and each target object may be scored with reference to the score table. Then, the target object having the highest total score obtained by summing up the points assigned to each element is selected.

  Moreover, you may make it switch the inclination of the score of a score table by situations, such as a game map. That is, when a situation such as a game map changes, the stipulation table of each element may be changed. For example, when the game map 1 is switched to the game map 2, the moving object OB1 and the target objects OB2 to OB5 are selected from the “scoring table 1” that becomes higher as the linear distance between the moving object OB1 and the target objects OB2 to OB5 is shorter. You may make it switch to "scoring table 2" which becomes a high score, so that the straight line distance is far.

6). Flowchart FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing an example of the correction process of the present embodiment. First, a process of selecting a target object (enemy aircraft) is performed (step S1). Next, it is determined whether or not pitch input information has been received (step S2). When pitch input information is received (Y in step S2), the positional relationship between the moving body (moving body to be operated by the player) and the target object during the pitch rotation processing based on the pitch input information. Then, at least one of the roll rotation process and the yaw rotation process is performed (step S3).

  In addition, correction processing for pitch rotation processing is performed. That is, the pitch is corrected so as to approach the direction connecting the moving object and the target object (step S4). If the pitch input information has not been received (N in step S2), the process ends. The process ends here.

7). Application Example In the present embodiment, during the third rotation process based on the third input information (during the rotation of the yaw), the first rotation process (roll) based on the positional relationship between the moving object and the target object, In addition, at least one of the second rotation process (pitch) may be performed as a correction process.

7.1 Roll Correction Processing During Yaw Rotation In the present embodiment, during the third rotation processing (during yaw rotation processing) based on the third input information (yaw input information), the moving object and the target object The first rotation process (roll) may be performed as a correction process based on the positional relationship between

  For example, as shown in FIG. 25, when yaw input information (for example, right yaw input information) is received from the player, the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2 are processed during yaw processing based on the yaw input information. Based on the relative positional relationship, the moving body OB1 is rotated to the right by the angle θ300.

  That is, in the present embodiment, the moving direction of the moving body OB1 approaches the direction connecting the moving body OB1 and the target object OB2 during the yaw rotation process based on the yaw input information, regardless of the roll input information. In addition, the roll is performed as a correction process.

  In this embodiment, the rotation angle of the roll to be performed as the correction process is determined based on the position of the moving object OB1 and the position of the target object OB2. For example, as shown in FIG. 25, the amount of roll rotation performed as correction processing according to an angle φh formed by a direction a302 connecting the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2 and a direction a300 of the moving object around the first axis. (Rotation angle) is obtained. For example, the rotation amount of the roll is 0 or more and smaller than the angle φh. For example, the rotation amount of the roll can be a value obtained by multiplying the angle φh by a correction coefficient K (0 <K <1). In the present embodiment, the rotation angle of the roll to be performed as a correction process is obtained for each frame.

  In the present embodiment, the roll rotation direction to be performed as the correction process is determined based on the position of the moving object OB1 and the position of the target object OB2. For example, around the first axis, the moving body OB1 is rotated in a rotation direction (a rotation direction forming an inner angle) close to a direction connecting the moving body OB1 and the target object OB2. In the present embodiment, the rotation direction of the roll performed as a correction process is obtained for each frame.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 25, according to an angle φh formed by a direction a302 connecting the position P301 of the moving object OB1 and the position Q301 of the target object OB2 and the direction a300 of the moving object OB1 around the first axis. Then, the rotation amount (rotation angle) θ300 of the roll performed as the correction process is obtained. For example, the rotation amount θ300 of the roll is a value obtained by multiplying the angle φh by a correction coefficient K (0 <K <1). Then, the moving body OB1 is rotated by θ300 in the right direction that is a rotation direction (rotation direction forming an inner angle) close to the direction a302 connecting the moving body OB1 and the target object OB2. That is, the moving body OB1 is rotated by θ300 while moving to the right yaw movement vector VYa300.

  As described above, in this embodiment, since the player can naturally assist the right roll while yawing, the moving object OB1 approaches the target object OB2 without feeling uncomfortable to the player. Can be made.

  In the present embodiment, the rotation amount of the first rotation processing (roll rotation amount) performed as the correction processing according to the angle φh formed by the direction connecting the moving body OB1 and the target object OB2 and the direction of the moving body OB1. ) May be changed. For example, as shown in FIG. 12A, the correction processing is performed as the angle φh formed between the direction connecting the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2 and the moving direction of the moving object increases around the first axis. Increase the amount of roll rotation.

  In the present embodiment, the rotation amount of the first rotation process performed as the correction process (the rotation amount of the roll) may be changed according to the moving speed of the moving object OB1. For example, as shown in FIG. 12B, as the moving speed of the moving body OB1 increases (accelerates), the rotation amount of the roll performed as the correction process is decreased.

  Note that the maximum value of the rotation amount of the roll performed as the correction process is set to a value smaller than an angle φh formed by the direction connecting the moving body and the target object and the moving direction of the moving body around the first axis.

  In the present embodiment, correction processing is performed according to the angle φh formed by the direction connecting the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2 and the direction of the moving object around the first axis and the moving speed of the moving object OB1. You may make it change the rotation amount of the roll to perform.

  In this embodiment, roll correction processing may be performed during yaw processing based on input information based on left yaw as well as right yaw.

7.2 Pitch Correction Processing During Yaw Rotation In the present embodiment, during the third rotation processing (yaw rotation) based on the third input information (yaw input information), the moving object and the target object Based on the positional relationship, the second rotation process (pitch) may be performed as a correction process.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 26, when the yaw input information is received from the player, the moving body OB1 is moved to the right from the position P310 in the direction of the movement vector VYa310 based on the yaw input information in the right direction of the player. During the yaw processing based on the input information of the yaw, the pitch is moved up based on the movement vector VPa310 based on the relative positional relationship between the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2. That is, in the present embodiment, the moving direction of the moving object OB1 is the moving object OB1 and the target object during the third rotation process (yaw process) based on the third input information, regardless of the pitch input information. The second rotation process (pitch) is performed as a correction process so as to approach the direction connecting OB2. As a result, the moving object OB1 performs a process of moving in the direction of the movement vector V310.

  In the present embodiment, the rotation angle of the pitch to be performed as the correction process is determined based on the position P310 of the moving object OB1 and the position Q310 of the target object OB2. For example, as shown in FIG. 27, the rotation amount of the pitch performed as the correction processing according to the angle φi formed by the direction a310 connecting the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2 and the direction V309 of the moving object around the second axis. (Rotation angle) is obtained. For example, the rotation amount of the pitch is 0 or more and smaller than the angle φi. For example, the pitch rotation amount may be a value obtained by multiplying the angle φi by a correction coefficient K (0 <K <1). In the present embodiment, the rotation angle of the pitch to be performed as a correction process is obtained for each frame.

  In the present embodiment, the rotation direction of the pitch to be performed as the correction process is determined based on the position P310 of the moving object OB1 and the position Q310 of the target object OB2. For example, around the second axis, the moving body OB1 is rotated in a rotation direction (a rotation direction forming an inner angle) close to a direction connecting the moving body OB1 and the target object OB2. In the present embodiment, the rotation direction of the roll performed as a correction process is obtained for each frame.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 27, according to an angle φi formed by a direction a310 connecting the position P310 of the moving object OB1 and the position Q310 of the target object OB2 and the direction V309 of the moving object OB1 around the second axis. Then, a pitch rotation amount (rotation angle) θ310 performed as the correction processing is obtained. For example, the pitch rotation amount θ310 is a value obtained by multiplying the angle φi by a correction coefficient K (0 <K <1). Then, the moving body OB1 is rotated by θ310 in an upward direction that is a rotation direction (rotation direction forming an inner angle) close to the direction a310 connecting the moving body OB1 and the target object OB2. That is, the moving body OB1 is rotated by θ310 (increased by the movement vector VPa310) while rotating the right yaw (moving to the movement vector VYa310).

  As described above, in this embodiment, since the player can naturally assist in pitch-up while performing yaw, the moving object OB1 approaches the target object OB2 without giving the player a sense of incongruity. Can be made.

  In the present embodiment, the amount of rotation of the second rotation process (the amount of rotation of the pitch) performed as the correction process according to the angle φi formed by the direction connecting the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2 and the direction of the moving object OB1. ) May be changed. For example, as shown in FIG. 12A, the correction processing is performed as the angle φi formed between the direction connecting the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2 and the moving direction of the moving object increases around the second axis. Increase the amount of pitch rotation.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the rotation amount (pitch rotation amount) of the second rotation process performed as the correction process may be changed according to the moving speed of the moving object OB1. For example, as shown in FIG. 12B, as the moving speed of the moving object OB1 increases, the amount of pitch rotation performed as the correction process is decreased.

  In addition, the maximum value of the rotation amount of the pitch performed as the correction process is set to a value smaller than an angle φi formed by the direction connecting the moving body and the target object and the moving direction of the moving body around the second axis.

  In the present embodiment, correction processing is performed according to the angle φi formed between the direction connecting the moving object OB1 and the target object OB2 and the direction of the moving object around the second axis, and the moving speed of the moving object OB1. You may make it change the rotation amount of the pitch to perform.

  In the present embodiment, pitch correction processing may be performed during yaw processing based on input information based on left yaw as well as right yaw.
