[Description of game contents]
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a game screen in the present embodiment.
For the sake of explanation, the first player who plays independently using the player terminal 1500 displaying the game screen will be referred to as “own player 2a”, and the second player who will be the opponent will be referred to as “enemy player 2b”. In the following description, the battle will be described on the premise of a battle between two players, but the second player may be a so-called “COM player” controlled by a computer rather than manned.

  The battle game according to the present embodiment is an RPG-like battle game in which a character (self character 4) of the player 2a to which an action force according to the result in the puzzle game is given battles with a character (enemy character 5) of the enemy player 2b. It is. Therefore, the game screen displayed on the touch panel 1506 includes a first display unit 10 that displays an image related to a battle game that is a first game, and a second display that displays an image related to a puzzle game that is a second game. Part 20.

  It should be noted that the puzzle game can be appropriately replaced with, for example, a virtual medal game, a janken game for selecting and operating any one of the relations of the three strokes, and a virtual slot machine for arranging a plurality of patterns.

The content of the puzzle game can be selected as appropriate.
In the present embodiment, a plurality of types of reservoirs 9 (game media; in the figure, based on a square tile type, the types are indicated by the presence or absence of marks such as circles and triangles) are aligned. It is a puzzle game to erase. When the player touches the storage element 9 and slides toward the next grid position where the player wants to change the arrangement, the storage element being operated to slide and the adjacent storage element that originally existed at the position where the slide operation was performed. The position with the child changes.

  As a result of replacement of reservoirs, when three or more rows (hereinafter referred to as “reservoir sets”) of the same type of reservoirs are established in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction, the corresponding reservoirs are automatically deleted. Since a space is generated at the lattice position where the storage element disappears, the storage element located on the upper side (the upper side in the first display unit 10) automatically moves from the upper side of the screen to the lower side so as to fill the space. To be controlled. Then, a new reservoir appears from the outside of the screen of the first display unit 10 and is supplemented to the remaining space after the movement is completed. In other words, creating and erasing the same type of reservoirs 9 is equivalent to “solving the puzzle” in the puzzle game.

  Then, erasing three or more similar reservoirs side by side will cause the battle game to progress. When the second display unit 20 finishes the presentation display and the notification display accompanying the detection of the storage element disappearance, the puzzle game is temporarily non-playable, the action power is calculated, and the battle displayed on the first display unit 10 instead. The game becomes playable. The “action power” can be set as appropriate according to the content of the battle game. For example, points may be consumed in accordance with the action of the player character 4 in the battle game, or may be an attack power calculated by multiplying the score increase of the puzzle game by the attack parameter value of the player character 4.

  Each player has a battle game (more precisely, the right to use. The same applies hereinafter). A predetermined number (four in the example shown in the figure) is selected from a plurality of characters and a deck ( A hand object group (corresponding to a team), and a character composing a deck is a battle. Therefore, the second display unit 20 further includes a deck display unit 11 and a battle display unit 12. The deck display unit 11 displays the status of the player character 4 that forms the deck of the player 2a. The battle display unit 12 displays a battle state based on a so-called 3DCG image obtained by photographing a character object placed in a virtual three-dimensional space with a virtual camera.

  Acquisition of the character that is the basis of the deck organization, that is, the acquisition of the right to use can be realized in the same manner as a known deck organization type game. For example, purchase by online shopping provided by the server system 1100, obtain by free lottery executed at the time of login, enter / exit trading carrying a character ID, and obtain by registering the character ID, etc. This method is realized.

  The battle game of the present embodiment is based on a deck prepared in advance by each player, but is not a total battle system in which all characters constituting the deck appear and fight. On the side of the own player 2a, all the own characters 4 constituting the deck appear, but on the other side, one or more of the enemy characters 5a to 5d constituting the deck 7b of the enemy player 2b are selected and organized. Group 8 (object group) appears. Since a plurality of groups 8 are set, the battle game is not a single game, but is composed of one or a plurality of battles (first round, second round,...) Performed for each group.

  Each battle (combat for each group) is executed by automatic control. Specifically, the enemy character 5 included in the sequentially selected group 8 appears where the player character 4 of the player player 2a is present, and both the player character 4 and the enemy character 5 are automatically controlled by the computer to fight. Unfolded.

  The player character 4 is automatically controlled according to the result of the puzzle game by the player 2a. For example, it is controlled so that the battle of the player character 4 becomes more advantageous as the first game gets better results.

  The battle game of this embodiment is designed with a stance that values the exhilaration of destroying enemies. Therefore, the composition contents of the group 8 and the ability of the enemy character 5 are basically adjusted so that the own character 4 (more correctly, the group of the own character 4) can win. In other words, adjustment is made so that the player 2 a side is slightly more advantageous in terms of strength than the group 8. Then, the winning or losing game will be decided based on the score calculated based on the game score obtained in each round with all the organized groups and the time required for the round with all groups, that is, the game clearing time. Is done.

[Adjustment based on difference in strength of object group organization]
FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining adjustment for correcting a difference in strength in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, the individual strength (number in the balloon of each character) is calculated for each of the player characters 4 constituting the deck of the player 2a. The individual strength is a predetermined calculation using variables such as the level of the character, HP (hit points: physical strength value), attack power, defense power, skill (skill) type, special skill appearance probability, etc. Calculated by function. The total of the individual strengths is set as the total strength of the deck of the player 2a, that is, the “self deck total battle strength”. In the example of FIG. 4, “100p (100 points)” is set.

  Then, based on the own deck total strength, when the group 8 is formed, a “target range” where the total strength of the group should be set is set. In this embodiment, the “target range” is set to a range of 40% to 70% of the player's own deck total combat power of the player 2a, but is not limited to this and can be set as appropriate.

  Only a predetermined number of groups 8 are prepared per game (in this embodiment, “4” which is the same as the maximum number of characters constituting the deck). One group 8 is organized to include at least one enemy character 5. The total strength of each group is the sum of the individual strengths of the enemy characters 5 included in the group, and the organization of the group 8 is adjusted so that the total strength of each group is within the target range.

FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining an example of an adjustment pattern related to the organization of the group 8.
In the present embodiment, the first adjustment pattern to the third adjustment pattern can be adjusted as the adjustment patterns related to the knitting of the group 8.

In the first adjustment pattern, the number and type of characters incorporated in the group 8 are adjusted. For example, four groups 8 (for example, groups 8a, 8b,... 8d in FIG. 3) are created so that there are four characters constituting the deck and each character appears as a group leader in any round.
Here, for example, the enemy character 5a is necessarily incorporated into the group 8a. However, as shown in FIG. 5, when the individual strength “30p” of the enemy character 5a is used alone, the group-based total strength of the group is set to the target range “40p to 70p”. Not reach. Therefore, the other enemy characters 5b, 5c, and 5d are additionally incorporated so that the group-based total strength is within the target range. Specifically, the enemy character 5a is required, and the group-based total strength is calculated each time the other enemy characters 5b, 5c, and 5d to be added are changed one by one, and the process ends when the target range is entered.

  In the second adjustment pattern, the number and types of characters to be incorporated into the group 8 are adjusted in the same manner as in the first adjustment pattern, but adjustment is performed by incorporating characters not included in the enemy deck 7b of the enemy player 2b as reinforcement. To do. For example, in the example shown in the figure, the individual strength “30p” of the enemy character 5a that is always included in the group 8 to be adjusted is insufficient for the total strength of each group. Therefore, the reinforcement character with the individual strength “10p” per body is insufficient. 3e is added and adjusted so that the total strength of each group is within the target range.

  In the third adjustment pattern, at least one of the ability parameter values of the characters constituting the group 8 serving as parameters relating to the game progress is adjusted. The adjustment may be made uniformly for all the characters constituting the group 8.

  For example, in the example shown in the figure, only the individual strength “30p” of the enemy character 5a that is always included in the group 8 to be adjusted does not reach the target range “40p to 70p” of the group-specific total strength, so the enemy character 5a The attack power is improved and the individual strength is raised to "50p". The adjustment of the capability parameter value can include a change of the possessed item. If there are two enemy characters that make up group 8 and their individual combat strengths are “10p” and “20p”, the group-specific overall strength will not reach the target range “40p-70p”. Each capability parameter value may be changed so that the individual strength is doubled.

  On the other hand, when the original individual strength of the enemy character 5a exceeds the target range, the ability parameter value of the enemy character 5a is adjusted to decrease the individual strength of the enemy character 5a. Is also possible. In the figure, for the sake of easy understanding, the appearance of the enemy character 5a and the enemy character 5d is changed before and after the change of the ability parameter value. However, the appearance change is not essential and the appearance is not changed. Alternatively, the capability parameter value as internal data may be changed.

FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining an example of an adjustment pattern related to the player character 4.
As the adjustment pattern related to the player character 4, the fourth adjustment pattern and the fifth adjustment pattern can be adjusted in the present embodiment.

  In the fourth adjustment pattern, parameters related to the game progress are adjusted. In this embodiment, the action power according to the score of the puzzle game is given to the player character 4. The greater the action power that is given, the more advantageous the battle is, for example, by increasing the number of self-characters 4 performing the battle action and the number of actions per character. Therefore, in the adjustment pattern, parameters for calculating the action power are adjusted according to the score of the puzzle game. In the illustrated example, after the adjustment, the action force to be applied is reduced to 60% of the standard, but conversely, it is also possible to adjust the action force to exceed the standard.

  The fifth adjustment pattern is realized by changing the ability parameter value of the player character 4. In order to facilitate understanding, the appearance of the player character 4 is changed before and after the change of the ability parameter value. However, the change of the appearance is not essential, and the ability as internal data is maintained without changing the appearance. You may change the parameter value. The change of the ability parameter value of the player character 4 may be performed individually or may be performed uniformly for all characters constituting the player deck.

  In the fourth and fifth adjustment patterns, the own deck total strength on the player 2a side exceeds the enemy deck total strength on the enemy player 2b side (total of individual strengths of the enemy characters 5a to 5d). This is applied when any of the adjustment pattern to the third adjustment pattern cannot be adjusted.

In addition, the concept of adjustment and the adjustment pattern can be set as appropriate.
For example, as a way of adjustment, the target range of the group-specific total strength is not set, but the strength difference between the own deck total strength on the player 2a side and the enemy deck total strength on the enemy player 2b side is determined. Thus, the total number of groups 8 to be created, the number of characters to be incorporated into the group, the type, the method of adjusting the parameters of the object, and the method of parameters relating to the game progress may be defined in advance by table data.

  The processing unit 200 is realized by, for example, a microprocessor such as a CPU or a GPU, or an electronic component such as an ASIC or an IC memory, and performs data input / output control with each functional unit including the operation input unit 100 and the storage unit 500. Do. Then, various arithmetic processes are executed based on predetermined programs and data, operation input signals from the operation input unit 100, and various data received from the server system 1100 to control the operation of the player terminal 1500. The control board 1550 in FIG. 2 corresponds to this. The processing unit 200 in this embodiment includes a game execution unit 240, a sound generation unit 270, an image generation unit 272, and a communication control unit 274.

The game execution part 240 performs the process which concerns on the game progress control of this embodiment.
That is,
(1) Puzzle game execution control;
(2) a process of calculating the action power of the player character 4 in the RPG-like battle game according to the play results in the puzzle game;
(3) Execution control of the battle game, that is, the first hand object group (own deck) based on the operation input of the first player (own player 2a in FIG. 4) and the second player (enemy player in FIG. 4) based on computer control 2b) a process for executing a game based on the first player by sequentially executing a battle with the group 8 for each group;
The various arithmetic processing concerning is performed.

  For example, if the online game of the present embodiment is realized as a web game, the function of the game execution unit 240 is active using Java (registered trademark) or CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) together with HTML based on a web browser. It can be realized by using web technology that controls screen display and plug-ins such as Adobe (registered trademark) Flash. Of course, other methods may be used.

For example, control for displaying a screen for inputting a character ID of a character possessed by the player, display control for a deck editing screen, and control for transmitting a deck editing request including the account and editing result of the player to the server system 1100 are performed. . Incidentally, when receiving the deck edit request, the deck data management unit 211 (FIG. 7) of the server system 1100 performs control to generate / change the deck data 522 (FIG. 8) of the corresponding account.

  The strength determination unit 244 determines the strength of each of the first player and the second player. Specifically, the individual player's own strength 4 (the individual character's individual strength) of the player's own player 2a and the player's deck's total strength (the own deck's total strength) are calculated, and the group-specific total strength. The target range is set (FIG. 4). Further, for the second player, that is, the enemy player 2b, the individual strength of the enemy character 5 (enemy character individual strength) and the total strength of the deck 7b of the enemy player 2b (enemy deck total strength) can be calculated. Further, the total strength of each group can be calculated in relation to the organization of group 8.

  The group generation unit 246 performs control for acquiring information related to the second hand object group (the deck 7b in FIG. 3) of the second player (the enemy player 2b in FIG. 3), that is, the deck data 522, from the server system 1100. Then, a plurality of groups 8 are generated based on the acquired deck data 522.

In addition, the group generation unit 246 includes an adjustment unit 247, and based on the strength of the player 2a and the enemy player 2b, the group generation unit 246 has an excessive strength in at least one of the first to fifth patterns. The difference can be corrected and corrected. In the third adjustment pattern, since the parameter values of the objects constituting the group 8 are individually adjusted or adjusted as a whole, the adjustment unit 247 may function as a parameter adjustment unit for adjusting the parameters of the objects constituting the object group. I can say that.
Further, in the fifth adjustment pattern, the parameter value of the player character 4 constituting the player deck 4 is individually adjusted or adjusted uniformly, so that the adjustment unit 247 adjusts the parameters of the objects constituting the first hand object group. It can also be said that it functions as an object adjustment unit.

The timekeeping unit 248 measures the time required for completing the battle with all groups, that is, the game clear time.
The score calculation unit 250 calculates a game score until the battle with all groups is completed.

  The evaluation score calculation unit 252 performs control to calculate an evaluation score based on the game clear time and the game score, and to transmit the evaluation score calculated together with the account of the player 2a to the server system 1100.

  The game execution unit 240 calculates the evaluation score of the first player in the game mainly composed of the first player (self player 2 a) calculated by the evaluation score calculation unit 252 and the second score acquired by the evaluation score acquisition control unit 254. The winning or losing of the competitive game is determined based on the evaluation score of the second player in the game mainly composed of the player (enemy player 2b).

  The sound generation unit 270 is realized by, for example, a digital signal processor (DSP), a processor such as a voice synthesis IC, an audio codec capable of playing back an audio file, and the like, and effects related to the game based on the processing result by the game screen display control unit 262 Sound signals of BGM and various operation sounds are generated and output to the sound output unit 370.

  The sound output unit 370 is realized by a device that outputs sound effects, BGM, and the like based on the sound signal input from the sound generation unit 270. The speaker 1510 in FIG. 2 corresponds to this.

The image generation unit 272 is realized by, for example, a processor such as a GPU or a digital signal processor (DSP), a program such as a video signal IC or a video codec, an IC memory for a drawing frame such as a frame buffer, or the like.
Then, the image generation unit 272 generates an image of one game screen in one frame time (for example, 1/60 seconds) based on the processing result by the game execution unit 240, and displays an image signal of the generated game screen as an image display Output to the unit 372.

  The image display unit 372 displays various game images based on the image signal input from the image generation unit 272. For example, it can be realized by an image display device such as a flat panel display, a cathode ray tube (CRT), a projector, or a head mounted display. In the present embodiment, this corresponds to the touch panel 1506 of FIG.

  The communication control unit 274 executes data processing related to data communication, and realizes data exchange with an external device via the communication unit 374. The communication unit 374 is connected to the communication line N to realize communication. For example, it is realized by a wireless communication device, a modem, a TA (terminal adapter), a cable communication cable jack, a control circuit, and the like, and the wireless communication module 1553 of FIG. 2 corresponds to this.

  The storage unit 500 stores a system program for realizing various functions for causing the processing unit 200 to control the player terminal 1500 in an integrated manner, a program necessary for game play, various data, and the like. Further, it is used as a work area of the processing unit 200, and temporarily stores calculation results executed by the processing unit 200 according to various programs, input data input from the operation input unit 100, and the like. Such a function is realized by, for example, an IC memory such as a RAM or a ROM, a magnetic disk such as a hard disk, or an optical disk such as a CD-ROM or DVD. The IC memory 1552 and the memory card 1540 mounted on the control board 1550 in FIG.

  The storage unit 500 of the present embodiment stores a terminal system program 502, a game client program 504, game stage initial setting data 510, and character initial setting data 512.

  The terminal system program 502 is a program for realizing basic functions of input / output of the player terminal 1500 as a computer.

  The game client program 504 is application software for realizing the function as the game execution unit 240 by being read and executed by the processing unit 200. However, even if the game client program 504 has a configuration incorporated as part of the terminal system program 502, good. The game client program 504 may be a dedicated client program according to a technical method for realizing an online game, or may be configured by a web browser program, a plug-in for realizing interactive image display, and the like.

  The game client program 504 is downloaded from the server system 1100 and stored together with the game stage initial setting data 510 and the character initial setting data 512.

  In addition, play data 550 is stored in the storage unit 500 as the battle game is executed. Of course, in the storage unit 500, data for describing the game progress status, a counter for counting time, various flags, etc. are appropriately stored.

The play data 550 stores various data describing the progress of the battle game.
For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the play data 550 includes the own player account 551, own deck data 552, own character individual strength 553, own deck total strength 554, and group-based total strength target range 555.

  The group organization data 560 is prepared for each group 8 (FIG. 3) and defines the organization content of the group. One group organization data 560 includes, for example, a group ID, a character ID list including a character ID incorporated in the group, and an ability parameter value list including an ability parameter value for each incorporated character. It is. Therefore, the data is subject to adjustment by the first to third adjustment patterns described above. The game execution unit 240 controls execution of the battle game based on the data.

  The own character ability setting data 562 is prepared for each own character 4 and defines the ability of each own character 4 in the battle. One self-character ability setting data 562 includes a self-character ID and an ability parameter value list. The original ability parameter value of the corresponding character 4 is copied to the ability parameter value list in the initial state of the data, but is changed in accordance with the adjustment by the fifth adjustment pattern described above. The game execution unit 240 executes and controls the battle game based on the data.

  The behavioral power calculation parameter 564 stores information (for example, a calculation function, a multiple, etc.) used when calculating the action power of the player character 4 from the play result of the puzzle game. A predetermined default is set as the initial state of the data, but is changed in accordance with the adjustment by the above-described fourth adjustment pattern. The game execution unit 240 executes and controls the battle game based on the data.

  The round-by-round play data 570 stores various parameter values that define the round-trip play status for each group 8 in the battle game.

[Description of process flow]
FIGS. 11 to 12 are flowcharts for explaining the flow of processing of the player terminal 1500 in the present embodiment. The flow of processing described here is realized by executing the game client program 504 in a state where the processing unit 200 executes the terminal system program 502. It is assumed that the player 2a (the person who will play the game using the player terminal 1500) has already registered the user and has edited the player's own deck. In addition, it is assumed that account information acquired by the player 2a is registered in the player terminal 1500.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the processing unit 200 of the player terminal 1500 first accesses the server system 1100 using the account of the player 2a, acquires the deck data 522 of the player 2a, and plays it as the player deck data 552. Store in the data 550 (step S2). Along with this, the processing unit 200 generates own character ability setting data 562 based on the deck constituent character data 528 of the own deck data 552.

  Next, in order to obtain an opponent, the player terminal 1500 transmits a matching request to the server system 1100 (step S4).

  When the server system 1100 receives the request, the server system 1100 selects another player as an opponent and creates the battle management data 540. Then, since the account of other selected player and the deck data 522 are returned, the player terminal 1500 stores the returned information in the play data 550 as the enemy player account 556 and the enemy deck data 557, respectively (step S6). .

  Next, the player terminal 1500 calculates the own character individual strength 553 and the own deck total strength 554 by referring to the own deck data 552 (step S8), and determines the target range 555 of the group-based total strength (step S10). ). Similarly, the enemy character individual strength 558 and the enemy deck total strength 559 are calculated with reference to the enemy deck data 557 (step S12).

  Next, the player terminal 1500 refers to the enemy deck data 557 and creates a new group 8 incorporating one enemy character from the enemy deck (step S20). New group organization data 560 is created in the play data 550.

  Next, the player terminal 1500 calculates the group-based total strength of the group (step S22). Specifically, the total of the enemy character individual strengths 558 of the enemy characters incorporated in the group is calculated.

  If the calculated total strength by group is not within the range indicated by the target range 555 (NO in step S24), the processing unit 200 of the player terminal 1500 uses the first adjustment pattern to the third adjustment pattern to perform the group adjustment. Is adjusted so that the group-specific total strength of the group falls within the target range 555 (step S26).

  Specifically, first, adjustment using the first adjustment pattern is attempted. That is, one enemy character incorporated in step S20 is fixed, and the group-based total strength is calculated for each combination with other enemy characters. If there is a combination that falls within the target range 555, it is regarded that the adjustment is completed, and the group organization data 560 is changed with any of the combinations as a result of adjustment. If the total strength of the group does not fall within the target range 555 in any combination, the adjustment in the first adjustment pattern is regarded as a failure, and the group organization data 560 is the combination of the total strength of the group closest to the lower limit of the target range 555. To change. A configuration in which the group organization data 560 is not changed is also possible.

  If the adjustment with the first adjustment pattern fails, the adjustment with the second adjustment pattern is next attempted. That is, a predetermined reinforcement character 5e (FIG. 5) having a small individual strength is added to the group organization indicated by the current group organization data 560, and the group-based total strength is recalculated each time. If the result of the recalculation is within the target range 555, it is considered that the adjustment is completed, and the group organization data 560 is updated. If not, the additional number of reinforcement characters 5e is added. If the reinforcement character 5e is added up to a predetermined additional upper limit number and the total group strength at that time does not fall within the target range 555, it is considered that the adjustment in the second adjustment pattern has failed.

  If the adjustment fails even in the second adjustment pattern, an adjustment using the third adjustment pattern is attempted. That is, the ability parameter value of the enemy character incorporated in the group indicated by the current group organization data 560 is changed, and the group-based total strength is recalculated each time. If the result of the recalculation is within the target range 555, it is considered that the adjustment is completed, and the group organization data 560 is updated. The type and amount of ability parameter to be changed may be determined by random lottery each time or may be defined in advance.

  In the present embodiment, the adjustment is tried in the order of the first adjustment pattern, the second adjustment pattern, and the third adjustment pattern, but the order is not limited to this.

  If the adjustment is completed with the first adjustment pattern to the third adjustment pattern (YES in step S28), steps S20 to S28 are repeated until a predetermined number of groups 8 are formed (NO in step S40).

  However, when the adjustment is not completed with the first adjustment pattern to the third adjustment pattern, for example, the player character 4 constituting the deck of the player 2a is generally stronger than the enemy character 5 constituting the deck of the enemy player 2b. And it cannot adjust with the 1st adjustment pattern-the 3rd adjustment pattern.

  In this case (NO in step S28), the processing unit 200 of the player terminal 1500 adjusts the strength difference by the fourth adjustment pattern to the fifth adjustment pattern (step S30). For example, either the fourth adjustment pattern or the fifth adjustment pattern is selected and applied by random lottery, and the group organization data 560 is updated. When the fourth adjustment pattern is applied, the behavioral force calculation parameter 564 is changed. When the fifth adjustment pattern is applied, the ability parameter value list stored in the own character ability setting data 562 is changed. Then, the target range 555 of the group-based comprehensive strength is updated (step S32), and the process returns to step S22.

  Moving to FIG. 12, when the creation of the group 8 is completed, the processing unit 200 of the player terminal 1500 resets the game clear time 566 and the game score 568 (step S50), and controls the game progress control of the competitive game. Start (step S52). Simultaneously with the start of the game progress control, the counting of the game clear time 566 and the sequential update of the game score 568 are also started.

  In the game progress control of the battle game, the battle between all of the own characters 4 constituting the own deck and the enemy characters 5 of the group 8 defined by the group organization data 560 is sequentially performed for each group. Specifically, when the player inputs an operation so as to solve the puzzle of the puzzle game, the processing unit 200 plays the puzzle game according to the action force calculation parameter 564 (for example, how many puzzles are solved by one operation). And the action power corresponding to the character 4 is calculated and given / set to the player character 4. Then, the given action power is consumed, and the player character 4 is caused to make a battle action according to a predetermined algorithm. Of course, the player himself may select and operate the action of the player character 4. The processing unit 200 also automatically controls the battle behavior of the enemy character 5 incorporated in the group 8. Data describing the battle situation is stored in the round-by-round play data 570, and the battle results are sequentially reflected in the game score 568.

  When the battles with all the groups 8 are completed (YES in step S54), the processing unit 200 of the player terminal 1500 evaluates the player 2a with a predetermined function based on the game clear time 566 and the game score 568. The points are calculated and transmitted and provided to the server system 1100 together with the account of the player 2a (step S56).

  On the other hand, when receiving the evaluation score, the server system 1100 stores the received evaluation score in the battle management data 540 corresponding to the account received together with the evaluation score. When the evaluation points for all the players participating in the battle are collected, the evaluation point information for all the players is distributed to all the player terminals 1500 participating in the battle.

  The processing unit 200 of the player terminal 1500 receives this and acquires the evaluation score of the enemy player 2b (step S58). Then, by comparing the evaluation score of the enemy player 2b and the evaluation score of the player 2a, the winning / losing result is determined and the winning / losing result is displayed (step S60), and the series of processing is terminated.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to realize an interesting new interpersonal game using a deck (hand group) organized by the player himself. In addition, in the interpersonal game, while correcting the difference in strength between players (more precisely, the player's deck), it is possible to make it as difficult to feel that the difference in strength is corrected.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described. In the following description, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described, and the same constituent elements will be denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted.

In the first embodiment, the calculation related to the game progress control is executed by each player terminal 1500, but in this embodiment, the calculation is executed by the server system 1100.

And plug-ins such as Adobe (registered trademark) Flash. Of course, other methods may be used.
The player terminal calculation unit 260 includes an operation signal transmission control unit 261 and a game screen display control unit 262, and appropriately performs processing related to other functions such as timekeeping.

  The operation signal transmission control unit 261 executes processing for transmitting various data and requests to the server system 1100 in accordance with an operation performed on the operation input unit 100.

  The game screen display control unit 262 performs control for displaying a game screen based on various data received from the server system 1100. In this configuration, a game space image (for example, 3DCG) is generated by the server system 1100, but a configuration in which a game space image is generated by the player terminal 1500 is also possible. In that case, the game screen display control unit 262 includes control of objects arranged in the virtual three-dimensional space for generating 3DCG.

  16 to 17 are flowcharts for explaining the processing flow of the server system 1100 in the present embodiment. Note that the generation of the game screen and the process of distributing the game screen to the player terminal 1500 are the same as in the known art, and are therefore omitted.

The processing flow of the server system 1100 in this embodiment is basically the same as the processing flow of the player terminal 1500 in the first embodiment.
In other words, first, the server processing unit 200s of the server system 1100 performs matching processing instead of step S2 of the first embodiment (step S1). Then, steps S4 to S6 of the first embodiment are omitted.

  Further, the server processing unit 200s executes loop A for each of the first game and the second game (steps S3 to S72). In the loop A, the evaluation score of the player is calculated instead of step S56 of the first embodiment (step S70). That is, when the loop A is completed, the evaluation score for the first player and the evaluation score for the second player are obtained. When the loop A is completed, the server processing unit 200s compares the two evaluation points to determine and display a win / loss (step S74), and ends the series of processes.

  Of course, the present embodiment can provide the same effects as those of the first embodiment.

[Modification]
As described above, the embodiments to which the present invention is applied have been described. However, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to these embodiments, and components can be added, omitted, or changed as appropriate.

[Part 1]
For example, the puzzle game of the above embodiment may be a game of another genre, such as a virtual medal game or a shooting game. Furthermore, the structure which abbreviate | omitted the puzzle game is also possible. The fighting game is not limited to the RPG-like fighting game, but may be other types of games such as a fighting game type and a shooting game type as long as it includes an element that forms a deck with a hand held by the player. .

[Part 2]
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the description has been made on the assumption that the player has a one-on-one battle, but a multi-player vs. multi-player team battle format may be used.

[Part 3]
Further, the player terminal 1500 of the first embodiment has a form as a smartphone, but may be in the form of an electronic device that is another computer. For example, a stationary home game device including a device main body on which a control board is mounted and a plurality of touch panel-mounted game controllers that are wirelessly connected to the device main body may be provided. In the case of this configuration, the apparatus main body is equivalent to the control board 1550 of the above embodiment, and the game controller may be regarded as a wireless communication type touch panel 1506. Therefore, the functional configuration of the stationary home game device is the same as that in FIG.

Similarly, the player terminal 1500 of the above embodiment may have a form as a business game device (arcade game device) using the game card 40.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 18, the arcade game apparatus 1300 includes an operation console 1304 extended in front of the housing 1301, a touch panel 1322 that can display a game screen and can be used as an operation input unit, A speaker 1324 for emitting a game sound, a coin inserter 1326 used for payment for game play, a barcode reader 1340, an NFC reader / writer 1342, and a control board 1350 are provided. In addition, a power supply device (not shown) is appropriately provided.

  In the configuration shown in the figure, since one player uses one player, the operation console 1304 includes only a joystick 1306 for inputting a direction for one person and an operation button switch group 1310. If it is configured such that a plurality of players can be used on the stand, the joystick 1306 and the operation button switch portion 1310 may be provided for the number of players.

  The game card 40 is a game medium that carries information about a character that can be the player character 4. For example, a synthetic resin thin plate or card paper is used. And the barcode 42 and the design 44 of the character which the information which a barcode carries are shown on the surface are comprised.

  The player sequentially inserts the game cards 40 possessed at the time of deck organization into the barcode reader 1340, and causes the arcade game device 1300 to read the information held therein. The arcade game apparatus 1300 edits the deck with a character based on the read information.

  Depending on the contents of the game, it may be assumed that the object to be carded is not limited to a character but includes other items such as items. Further, the method of carrying information on the game card 40 is not limited to a printable code, and it may be carried by storing information in a readable manner by incorporating a storage medium such as an IC tag or an IC memory. In this case, information is read by an NFC reader / writer 1342 using NFC (Near Field Communication).

[Part 4]
Further, the player system 1500 may be configured to execute and realize the above-described game by directly communicating with each other with the player terminal 1500 having the function of the server system 110 (also referred to as a host function or the like). The same applies to a configuration in which the player terminal 1500 is replaced with the arcade game device 1300.

[Part 5]
Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the 3rd adjustment pattern, the 4th adjustment pattern, and the 5th adjustment pattern were set as the structure performed before a game start, the structure correct | amended during execution of a competitive game can also be added.
Specifically, the game execution unit 240 is provided with a function to adjust based on the progress of the puzzle game, that is, the parameter value of the object constituting the object group and the parameter value of the object constituting the first hand object group. A function as a second game reference parameter adjustment unit that adjusts based on the progress status of the second game is provided.
More specifically, when a good result exceeding the standard (for example, achieving 10 or more combos) is detected in the puzzle game, a predetermined multiple (for example, the total strength of each group of the group 8 currently in battle) (for example, 2.0) is used to calculate a one-time total group strength, and readjustment is performed. Of course, when it is readjusted and the battle in the battle group is divided by one, the state before the readjustment is restored.

[Part 6]
Also, the server system 1100 of the above embodiment stores a “match record” that stores the match result together with the account of the player who participated in the match, and transmits it for viewing in response to a request from the player terminal 1500. Functions can be added.
Then, the player can check at any timing what kind of battle has been performed based on the deck data set by himself / herself while he / she is absent (meaning that the game is not being played). From the player's point of view, the enjoyment of considering the organization of the player's own deck increases so that the deck becomes more powerful based on the battle record.

Furthermore, several different patterns are prepared for automatic control of the enemy character 5, and a configuration that can be specified by the player can be added.
Specifically, taking an example based on the first embodiment, an “attack emphasis pattern” in which the action of the enemy character 5 is overwhelmed by an attack, a “defense emphasis pattern” in which the action of the enemy character is overwhelmed, and an “attack and defense” in the middle The automatic control of three patterns “balance pattern” is made possible. Further, as shown in FIG. 19, it is assumed that an application control pattern ID 527 indicating which control pattern is applied is included in the deck data 522.

  Then, the deck editing control unit 242 (FIG. 9) of the player terminal 1500 controls the player to select one of the above three control patterns at the time of deck organization, and is selected together with the account of the player and the editing result. Control to transmit a deck edit request including the control pattern ID to the server system 1100 is performed. The deck data management unit 211 of the server system 1100 stores the control pattern ID included in the received deck edit request as the application control pattern ID 527.

  As a result, when the player terminal 1500 acquires the deck data 522 of the enemy player, an application control pattern ID 527 that is applied to the deck is also obtained. Therefore, the game execution unit 240 of the player terminal 1500 can automatically control the enemy character 5 with the control pattern indicated by the application control pattern ID 527.

  It is preferable that the application control pattern ID 527 can be changed when browsing the “match record” on the player terminal 1500 described above. Further, the control pattern described above is an example, and the content of the pattern can be set as appropriate according to the game content or the like.

[Part 7]
Further, the difficulty level of another game (a puzzle game in the above embodiment) that is not a battle game may be adjusted based on the deck data 522 of the opponent enemy player. Specifically, the game execution unit 240 has a function of changing the difficulty level of another game according to the difference in strength, and before the start of the battle for each group, the total strength of each group in the group 8 to be played is the target. If it exceeds the range 555, the difficulty level is lowered to make it easier to achieve better results in the other game. As described above, a good result in the puzzle game becomes more advantageous in the battle game, so the strength difference can be adjusted indirectly by reducing the difficulty level. Of course, when the group-based total strength of the group 8 to be played does not reach the target range 555, the difficulty level is increased. The same mechanism can be applied when the puzzle game referred to in the above embodiment is changed to another game.
