  In particular, in this embodiment, an attribute is set in advance for each character. Here, the attribute is information indicating characteristics and capabilities. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, in the present embodiment, the characteristics according to the altitude of the course are shown, the terrain that the character is good at is set as attribute 1 (first attribute), and the terrain that the character is not good at is attribute 2. Set as (second attribute).

  For example, the character PA is good at “flat”, “up” and “down”, and there is no difficult terrain. Further, the character PB is good at “flat” and “downhill”, and is not good at “uphill”. The character PC is good at “climbing” and is not good at “flat” and “down”.

  In this embodiment, a stamina value and a tension value are set for each character. The stamina value is a parameter that is decreased when a given command is executed, and is used to limit the number of times the command is executed. For example, a predetermined value (for example, 5) is set as the stamina value of each character at the start of the game.

  The tension value is a parameter that increases every time a given command is executed, and when the character's tension value reaches a predetermined value (for example, 10), the “use special move” command of the character is displayed. Control so that E6 can be selected. A predetermined value (for example, 0) is set as the tension value of each character at the start of the game.

  In the present embodiment, although not shown, items may be set in advance for each character before the game starts. For example, the item is used to change (for example, increase) parameter values such as a stamina value and a tension value by using the item.

  In the present embodiment, before the game starts, the selection of six characters from the characters owned by the player is accepted, the selected six characters are set as decks, and the six characters set as decks are set. May be allowed to participate in the game.

  In the present embodiment, attributes, stamina values, tension values, and items are set not only for characters owned by the player but also for enemy characters controlled by the CPU.

3.3 Description of Course FIG. 6 shows a course L of the racing game of the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, a game is provided in which the user makes a round of the course and competes for the ranking.

  As shown in FIG. 6, each character of the player team and each enemy team character move from the starting point via the passing points A1 to A13 and reach the goal point.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, 13 turns are set for the player. Moreover, each turn and each passing point A1-A13 are matched. In addition, attributes are set in association with each turn (each passing point). The attribute is information regarding the turn, in other words, information regarding the passing point corresponding to the turn. For example, in association with each turn, the topography (gradient) from the passing point of the turn to the next passing point (from the passing point A13 to the goal for the last passing point A13) is set as attribute 1 (first attribute). Set. For example, in association with each turn, any information of “up”, “down”, and “flat” is set as attribute 1. Further, when there is an event (event program to be activated) that occurs at the passing point of each turn, the event is set as attribute 2 (second attribute).

  According to this embodiment, the player selects the optimum character and command in consideration of the terrain and event associated with the turn, and can play a game strategically.

  In the present embodiment, an altitude graph D is displayed on the game screen W as shown in FIG. The elevation graph D shows the topography (gradient) of the course. For example, the cells a1 to a13 of the elevation graph D are associated with the passage points A1 to A13. For example, the topography from one passage point to the next passage point (for the last passage point A13 from the passage point A13 to the goal) is represented by a graph. For example, from the passage point A1 to the passage point A2, the topography is “flat” by displaying with a parallel line at the square a1. In addition, from the passage point A5 to the passage point A6, a square a5 is displayed with a line that rises to the right, indicating that the terrain is “uphill”. In addition, from the passage point A11 to the passage point A12, the topography is “down” by displaying the cell a11 with a line that descends to the right. Thus, the player can easily know the topography of each turn (each passing point) by referring to the altitude graph D.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the display body P indicating the position of the team on the player side on the course L of the map M, the display body Q indicating the position of the team on the enemy side, and the display indicating the position of the team on the player side on the altitude graph D. The body p is displayed on the game screen.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 4, in the start state which is the situation before the first turn starts, the display bodies P and Q are displayed at the start position on the course L, and are displayed at the start position of the altitude graph D. Display the body p.

  In addition, at the start timing of each of the first to thirteenth turns, the display bodies P and Q are displayed at the passing points on the course corresponding to each turn, and are displayed on the grid corresponding to each turn of the elevation graph D. Display the body p.

  In the goal state after the end of the 13th turn, the display bodies P and Q are displayed at the goal position on the course L, and the display body p is displayed at the goal position of the altitude graph D. In this way, the player can easily check the progress of the game.

3.4 Description of Processing for Each Turn Next, processing for each turn of the present embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, the process until the ranking is updated based on the operation input of the player is regarded as one unit, and the game is advanced in a turn system.

  For example, in this embodiment, for each turn, based on the player's operation input, the selection of one character from a plurality of characters constituting the team on the player side is accepted, and the character performs a predetermined action. Accepts command selection. Then, the selected command is executed, and processing for updating the ranking of each character of both the player side and the enemy side team is performed based on the execution result of the command.

  It should be noted that at the start point, the order of each character of the team on the player side and each character of the team on the enemy side may be determined randomly or may be a predetermined order.

(1) Selection of character The process of each turn is demonstrated concretely. First, when a turn arrives, based on the player's operation input, a process of accepting selection of one of the six characters that make up the player's team is performed. For example, as shown in FIG.
When A is desired to be selected, the character PA can be selected and input by touching (touching) the display area (input area) C4 of the character PA.

  When the player wants to select a non-displayed character PD belonging to the team on the player side, a scroll operation is performed so that the character PD is displayed in the arrangement area B, and the display area (input of the character PD (input) The character PD can be selected and input by touching the area.

  The enemy team character is controlled so that it cannot be selected, and the display control is performed with a dim color.

(2) Selection of command When the selection of the character is accepted, a process of accepting the selection of one command from the three command candidates is then performed based on the operation input of the player.

  In the present embodiment, three command candidates are determined based on at least one of the current rank, stamina value, tension value, and attribute (terrain or event) associated with the turn of the selected character. That is, control is performed so that a command suitable for the attribute (terrain or event) associated with the rank or turn of the selected character is a candidate.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of the commands E1 to E8. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, when the selected character has a stamina value of 1 or more and the current rank of the selected character is not the first, the command E1 for “increasing cadence” is set as a candidate. Note that “increasing cadence” means increasing the speed, and the “increasing cadence” command E1 suggests that the command can increase the rank.

  In the present embodiment, when the command E1 for increasing the cadence is selected and the command E1 is executed, a process for subtracting 1 from the stamina value of the selected character is performed. That is, since the “increased cadence” command E1 can be executed on the condition that the stamina value is 1 or more, the number of executions of the “increased cadence” command E1 can be limited for the same character.

  In addition, if there is one or more possessed items of the selected character, the “use item” command E2 is set as a candidate.

  Further, although there is no particular condition, the command E3 “maintain the current pace” is a candidate.

  In turn 4, 6, 8, and 10, the command “E4” is used as a candidate.

  Further, if the selected character has a stamina value of 1 or more and the selected character is not in the first place, the “drop gear” command E5 is set as a candidate.

  Further, when the selected character has a tension value of 10, the command “E6” is used as a candidate.

In the present embodiment, when the command E6 “use special move” is selected and the command E6 is executed, a process of subtracting 10 from the tension value of the selected character is performed. That is, on the condition that the tension value is 10 or more, the “use special move” command E6 can be executed.

  In addition, when the player's team character is 1st in 5th and 9th turns, the command “E7 to avoid falling rocks” is set as a candidate.

  In addition, when the character of the team on the player side is first and the selected character has a stamina value of 1 or more, the command E8 “block by body contact” is set as a candidate.

  In the present embodiment, when the command “E8” is selected and the command E8 is executed, a process of subtracting 1 from the stamina value of the selected character is performed. In other words, the command E8 “blocking by body” can be executed on condition that the stamina value is 1 or more. Therefore, the number of executions of the command E8 “blocking by body” is limited for the same character. be able to.

  In the present embodiment, since the number of command candidates is limited to three, when there are four or more command candidates, the number of command candidates is limited to three. In such a case, control is performed so that a command having a high priority is always a candidate. For example, a command corresponding to an event is a command with a high priority. More specifically, when a rain event or a coverage vehicle event occurs, the command E1 for “increasing cadence” is set as a command having a high priority. Further, when an event such as a falling rock occurs, the command “E7 to avoid falling rock” is set as a command having a high priority. When a water supply event occurs, the command “use water supply point” E4 is set to a command having a high priority. Further, when a rival catch-up event, a rival deathblow event, or an obstruction event occurs, the “increased cadence” command E1 and the “prevent by body contact” command E8 are set as commands having high priority.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 8, in this embodiment, there are a command with a mini game and a command without a mini game, and the commands E1, E4, E7, and E8 with a mini game succeed based on the operation input of the player. Or, a failure is determined.

  FIG. 9 shows an example of the game screen. For example, FIG. 9 shows an example of a case where the “increase cadence” command E1, the “use item” command E2, and the “maintain current pace” command E3 are candidates. When the player desires the command E1 for “increasing cadence”, the player can select and input by touching the display area (input area) of the command E1.

(3) Command Execution When the selection of a command is accepted, a process for executing the selected command on the selected character is performed. For example, when the selection of the “increase cadence” command E1 is accepted, a mini-game for rotating the pedal is executed as shown in FIG.

  For example, within a predetermined period (within 5 seconds), slide input is continuously performed in the direction of the arrow displayed on the game screen W, and the input amount (trajectory length) of the slide input or the input speed (per unit time) In accordance with the input amount), a mini game for increasing the cadence value F is performed. For example, the cadence value F is displayed on the game screen W. For example, when a game in which slide input is continued so as to increase the cadence value F from the initial value (for example, 65) to 90 and the player sets the cadence value F to 90 or more, it is determined that the mini game is successful. . On the other hand, if the player cannot set the cadence value F to 90 or more, it is determined that the mini game has failed. For example, when the difficulty level of the mini game is increased, the initial value is set to 40, and when the difficulty level is decreased, the initial value is set to 80.

  In the present embodiment, the command is executed based on the attribute associated with the turn and the selected character. For example, when the topography associated with the first turn (passage point A1) is “flat”, and the topography of the character PA selected in the first turn is “flat”. Reduce the difficulty of mini-games. Also, when the topography associated with the fifth turn (passage point A5) is “climbing”, and the topography that the character PB selected in the fifth turn is not good at “climbing” Increase the difficulty of mini-games.

  In this way, in the case of a mini game command such as the command E1 for raising the cadence, the player selects the character so as to select the character that excels at the terrain of the turn (passing point). The game can be played more strategically.

(4) Update of rank In this embodiment, a process of updating the rank is performed based on the execution result of the command. Referring to FIG. 8, for the command E1 for “increasing cadence”, if the execution result of the command E1 is successful, 1 is added to the rank of the selected character (the rank is increased by 1), and the command E1 is selected. Add 2 to the character's tension value. For example, if the rank of the character PA selected before the execution of the command E1 is 4th and the mini game of the command E1 is successful, the rank of the character PA is updated to 3rd and before the execution of the command E1. The 3rd place character is updated to 4th place.

  On the other hand, if the execution result of the command E1 is unsuccessful, 1 is subtracted from the rank of the selected character (the rank is lowered by 1). For example, if the rank of the character PA selected before the execution of the command E1 is 4th and the mini game of the command E1 fails, the rank of the character PA is updated to 5th and before the execution of the command E1. The character that was 5th is updated to 4th.

  Further, when the “use item” command E2 is executed, a process for recovering (increasing) the stamina value of the character selected in accordance with the effect of the used item is performed without updating the rank.

  In addition, when the “maintain the current pace” command E3 is executed, the ranking update and the parameter update are not performed.

  Further, when the command “use water supply point” E4 is executed, the order is not updated but the parameter is controlled. That is, when the execution result of the command E4 is successful, 2 is added to the stamina value of the selected character, and 2 is added to the tension value. On the other hand, if the execution result of the command E4 fails, 1 is subtracted from the tension value of the selected character.

  The mini game of the command E4 is a game in which the same bottle as the bottle displayed on the screen is touched with good timing, and if the deviation (time difference) between the predetermined timing and the input timing is within a predetermined period, the game is successful. If the deviation exceeds a predetermined period, it is determined as a failure.

When the “drop gear” command E5 is executed, it is determined that only a predetermined character (for example, character PD) has failed, and in the case of other characters, it is determined to be successful. For example, when the execution result of the command E5 is determined to be successful, 1 is added to the rank of the selected character (the rank is increased by 1), and 1 is added to the tension value of the selected character. For example, when the order of the character PA selected before the execution of the command E5 is 4th and the command E5 is executed, the order of the character PA is updated to 3rd, and 3 before the execution of the command E5.
The character that was first is updated to fourth.

  On the other hand, when the execution result of the command E5 is unsuccessful, 1 is subtracted from the rank of the selected character (the rank is lowered by 1). For example, if the ranking of the character PD selected before the execution of the command E5 is 10th and the mini game of the command E5 fails, the ranking of the character PD is updated to 11th and before the execution of the command E5. The character that was 11th is updated to 10th.

  When the “use special move” command E6 is executed, the rank is updated and the parameters are updated according to the effect of the special move.

  In addition, when the command “escape from falling rock” command E7 is executed and the execution result of the command E7 is successful, the order and parameters are not updated. On the other hand, if the execution result of the command E7 is unsuccessful, 1 is subtracted from the rank of the selected character (the rank is lowered by 1). For example, if the order of the character PA selected before the execution of the command E7 is 4th and the mini game of the command E7 fails, the order of the character PA is updated to 5th and before the execution of the command E7. The character that was 5th is updated to 4th.

  Note that the mini game of the command E7 is a game in which a touch of a falling rock object displayed on the screen is avoided, and a deviation (time difference) between a predetermined timing and an input timing is within a predetermined period, and an input is performed. If the position is within the predetermined range, it is determined as successful.

  Further, when the execution result of the “block by body contact” command E8 is successful, 2 is added to the tension value of the selected character.

  On the other hand, if the execution result of the command E8 is unsuccessful, 1 is subtracted from the rank of the selected character (the rank is lowered by 1), and 1 is subtracted from the tension value. For example, if the order of the character PA selected before the execution of the command E8 is 4th and the mini game of the command E8 fails, the order of the character PA is updated to 5th and before the execution of the command E8. The character that was 5th is updated to 4th.

  Note that the mini game of the command E8 is determined to be successful when the number of touches (number of consecutive hits) by the player is equal to or greater than a predetermined number within a predetermined period (for example, within 5 seconds), and the number of touches is predetermined within the predetermined period. If it is less than the number of times, it is determined as failure.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the order varies according to the execution result of the command. Therefore, in each turn, the player should carefully consider the selection of the optimal character and the command so that any character belonging to the team on the player's team can finally obtain the first place in the goal. And play games strategically.

  Further, in the game of the present embodiment, even if the five characters belonging to the player team are, for example, in the lower rank (for example, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12), You can win if the character is first. For example, a player can strategically play a game while considering separately a character for obtaining the first place and a character for supporting the first place in the team.

(5) Judgment processing When all 13 turns of one game are completed, the team on the player side and the team on the enemy side reach the goal point and judge the victory or defeat. In the present embodiment, the team to which the character that ranked first in the goal after the end of the 13th turn belongs is determined to be the victory, and the other is determined to be the loser. For example, if the character PA of the player side team is first, the player side team is determined to be victorious, and the enemy side team is determined to be losing. On the other hand, when the character QA of the enemy team is first, the player team is determined to be defeated and the enemy team is determined to be victorious.

3.5 Detailed Description of Events In this embodiment, events are prepared in association with turns. The first and second turns do not generate an event, but the third turn transition is controlled so that various events occur.

(1) Rainy Event In this embodiment, a rainy event is generated for 6, 10 turns. A rain event is an event that means, for example, a situation where rain falls and physical strength is consumed during traveling, or a situation where speeding up is difficult. Specifically, processing of a rain event will be described. At the start of turns 6 and 10, information for notifying that a rain event has occurred is displayed on the game screen. Then, control is performed so that the command E1 “increase cadence” is one of command candidates and the difficulty level of the command E1 “increase cadence” is further increased. Also, if the mini-game of the “Raise cadence” command E1 fails at the end of the 6th and 10th turns, or if the ranking is not raised by selecting another command, the stamina value of the selected character is set to 1. The process which subtracts is performed.

(2) Rockfall event In the present embodiment, a rockfall event is generated in the fifth and ninth turns. A rockfall event is an event that means, for example, a situation in which a rockfall occurs during traveling and the rank is lowered unless the rockfall is avoided. Specifically, processing of a rockfall event will be described. At the start of turns 5 and 9, information for notifying that a rockfall event has occurred is displayed on the game screen. Then, if the “Escape Rockfall” command E7 is one of the command candidates, and the player selects the “Avoid Rockfall” command E7, a mini-game for avoiding the falling rock is executed.

  When the player does not select the “Avoid Rockfall” command E7, a process of subtracting 2 from the rank of the selected character (decreasing the rank by 2) is performed. If the mini-game “command to avoid completion” fails, a process of subtracting 1 from the rank of the selected character (decreasing the rank by 1) is performed.

(3) Coverage Car Event In the present embodiment, the event of the news gathering car is generated in three or four turns. The event of the news gathering vehicle is an event that means a situation where the progress is obstructed by the news gathering vehicle, for example. Specifically, the event of the news gathering vehicle will be described. At the start of the third and fourth turns, information for notifying that the event of the news gathering vehicle has occurred is displayed on the game screen. Then, control is performed so that the command E1 “increase cadence” is one of command candidates and the difficulty level of the command E1 “increase cadence” is further increased.

  Further, when the mini-game of the “increase cadence” command E1 fails at the end of the third or fourth turn or the player does not select the “increase cadence” command E1, 1 is subtracted from the rank of the selected character. Yes (decrease the rank by one).

  That is, the player needs to select the “Raise Cadence” command E1 to raise the ranking, and then succeed in the mini-game of the “Raise Cadence” command E1.

(4) Water Supply Event In this embodiment, a water supply event is generated at 4, 6, 8, 10 turns. The water supply event is, for example, an event that means a situation in which physical strength is recovered using water supply while the character is in progress. Specifically, a water supply event will be described. Information for notifying that a water supply event has occurred is displayed on the game screen at the start of 4, 5, 8, 10 turns. Then, the “use water supply point” command E4 is set as one of the command candidates, and when the player selects the “use water supply point” command E4, a mini game for water supply is executed.

  When the player selects the “use water supply point” command E4 and succeeds in the mini game, 2 is added to the stamina value of the selected character, and 2 is added to the tension value. On the other hand, if the player does not select the “use water supply point” command E4, or if the player selects the “use water supply point” command E4 and fails in the mini game, the tension value of the selected character. 1 is subtracted from

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, in 4, 6, 8, and 10 turns, a water supply image K is displayed on the screen in the vicinity of a passing point of a turn where there is a water supply event, so that the player can easily find a point where there is a water supply event. Control so that it can be recognized.

(5) Rival Follow-up Event In this embodiment, a rival follow-up event is generated when the character belonging to the player's team is in the first place for three consecutive turns. The rival catch-up event will be described in detail. For example, if the character PA belonging to the player's team continues to be in the first place after executing the commands of 2, 3, and 4 turns, the rival catch-up event will occur on the fifth turn. And at the start of the fifth turn, information for notifying that a rival chase event has occurred is displayed on the game screen.

  Then, the command E1 for “increasing cadence” is set as one of command candidates. When the “Raise Cadence” command E1 is selected and the mini-game is successful, the ranking is maintained when the selected character is first and the ranking is increased by one when the selected character is second or lower. When the “Raise cadence” command E1 is selected and the mini game fails, control is performed to lower the rank of the selected character by one. If the “Raise Cadence” command E1 is selected and the mini game fails, a process of lowering the rank of the first character by one may be performed.

  Further, if the command “E8 block by body” is one of the command candidates, and the command “E8 block by body” is selected and the mini-game is successful, the order of the selected character can be maintained. it can. On the other hand, when the command “E8” is selected and the mini game fails, a process of lowering the rank of the selected character by one is performed. In addition, when the command E8 “stop by body contact” is selected and the mini game fails, a process of lowering the rank of the first character by one may be performed.

(6) Rival Special Move Event In this embodiment, a rival special move event is generated when the character belonging to the player's team is in the first place for five consecutive turns. Specifically, the rival deathblow event will be explained. For example, if the character PA belonging to the player's team continues to be in the first place after executing the commands of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 turns, the 7th turn Rival Special Moves Event is generated at the beginning of the 7th turn, and information for notifying that the Rival Special Move Event has occurred is displayed on the game screen.

Then, the command E1 for “increasing cadence” is set as one of command candidates. When the “Raise Cadence” command E1 is selected and the mini-game is successful, the ranking is maintained when the selected character is first and the ranking is increased by one when the selected character is second or lower. When the “Raise cadence” command E1 is selected and the mini game fails, control is performed to lower the rank of the selected character by one. If the “Raise Cadence” command E1 is selected and the mini game fails, a process of lowering the rank of the first character by one may be performed.

  Further, if the command “E8 block by body” is one of the command candidates, and the command “E8 block by body” is selected and the mini-game is successful, the order of the selected character can be maintained. it can. On the other hand, when the command “E8” is selected and the mini game fails, a process of lowering the rank of the selected character by one is performed. In addition, when the command E8 “stop by body contact” is selected and the mini game fails, a process of lowering the rank of the first character by one may be performed.

(7) Interfering Event In this embodiment, an interfering event is generated at 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, and 13 turns. The obstruction event is an event in which the enemy team character attempts to lower the rank of the player team character. Specifically, the processing of the obstruction event will be described. Information for notifying that an obstruction event has occurred is displayed on the game screen at the start of turns 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, and 13. Then, if the command “Elevate cadence” command E1 is one of the command candidates and the “Raise cadence” command E1 is selected and the mini-game is successful, the ranking is maintained when the selected character is first, If the selected character is 2nd or lower, the rank is increased by one. On the other hand, when the command E1 “raise cadence” is selected and the mini game fails, control is performed so that the character of the enemy team is overtaken and the rank of the selected character is lowered by one.

  Further, if the command “E8 block by body” is one of the command candidates, and the command “E8 block by body” is selected and the mini-game is successful, the order of the selected character can be maintained. it can. On the other hand, if the “stop by body” command E8 is selected and the mini game fails, control is performed so that the character of the enemy team is overtaken and the rank of the selected character is lowered by one.

3.6 Explanation of Special Move Command In this embodiment, as described above, when the execution results of the commands E1, E4, E5, and E8 are successful, the tension value fluctuates (increases). When the character's tension value is equal to or greater than a predetermined value (for example, 10 or more), the character's special move command can be selected.

  FIG. 11 illustrates the execution contents of the “use special move” command E6 of each character PA to PL. For example, the case where the tension value of the character PA is 10 or more, the fifth turn (passage point A5) is started and the character PA is selected in the state where the character PA is in the fourth place. The command E6 “uses a special technique” is controlled to be included in the candidates, and the command E6 “uses a special technique” is displayed on the screen as one of the candidates. When the player selects the “use special move” command E6, the character PA uses the “use special move” command E6. That is, the fifth turn is an attribute of “climbing”, and in the case of “climbing”, since three characters PA can be removed, control is performed so that the rank of the character PA is raised from the 4th place to the 1st place. And it controls so that the other character which was the 1st, 2nd, 3rd place may be moved down to the 2nd, 3rd, 4th place. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the tension value is equal to or greater than the predetermined value, the game can be advantageously advanced for the player, and the fun of the game can be improved.

3.7 Game Results In this embodiment, when the player team wins the enemy team, a new item or a new character may be given to the player. That is, the player can increase the number of characters and items owned by winning the game.

3.8 Flowchart Next, the flow of the game process will be described with reference to FIGS. 12A and 12B. First, as shown in FIG. 12A, N is set to 1 (step S1), and the Nth turn is started (step S2). Then, selection of one character from the team characters on the player side is accepted (step S3), and information on the selected character (for example, ranking, attributes (topography that you are good at, topography that you are not good at), stamina value, tension, etc.) Value) and attributes of the Nth turn (terrain, event, etc.), three command candidates are determined (step S4).

  Then, selection of one command from the three command candidates is accepted (step S5), and the selected command is executed (step S6). Then, based on the execution result of the command, processing for updating the rank of each character is performed (step S7).

  And it is judged whether it is a goal. That is, it is determined whether or not the last turn has ended (step S8). If the goal is a goal (Y in step S8), the first character is the player side team as shown in FIG. 12B. Whether or not (step S11).

  If the first character is a team on the player side (Y in step S11), it is determined that the player side has won the team, and the enemy team has lost (step S12). If it is not a team, that is, if the first character is an enemy team (N in step S11), it is determined that the player team loses and the enemy team wins (step S13).

  As shown in FIG. 12A, when it is not the goal (N in Step S8), 1 is added to N, and the process returns to Step S2 to perform the next turn. The process ends here.

4). Application Examples The present invention is not limited to that described in the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. For example, terms cited as broad or synonymous terms in the description in the specification or drawings can be replaced with broad or synonymous terms in other descriptions in the specification or drawings.

4.1 Application Examples of Game Processing (1) In the present embodiment, each of the first 12th place is a total of 12 characters including 6 characters belonging to the player team and 6 characters belonging to the enemy team. The order of any of the 12th positions is assigned, and control is performed so that there are no plural characters of the same order, but only one character is assigned for at least the first place, and plural characters of the same order are given for the second place and below. May be present. Further, at the start point, all the characters may be in the same position.

  (2) Further, in the present embodiment, a character having a predetermined stamina value (for example, 0) is regarded as an abstained character, and the stamina value is set to a predetermined value (from a plurality of characters of the player side team). For example, you may control so that the character which is 0) cannot be selected.

(3) About the turn system In this embodiment, when one turn of the player ends, the player's next turn arrives and there is no enemy side turn. May be controlled so that the player's turn and the enemy's turn come alternately.

4.2 Application example of game system in which multiple players participate (1) Example 1 of game system in which multiple players participate
This embodiment may implement a game system for a game (multiplayer game) that a plurality of players play simultaneously.

  For example, when a plurality of players participate in the same game in real time, the server performs matching processing of the plurality of players participating in the same game, and advances the game by transmitting / receiving data to / from each terminal of each player.

  First, the server matches the player P1 and the player P2, and advances the game on each terminal of the players P1 and P2. The player P1 sets a team T1 composed of six characters owned by the player P1. The player P2 sets a team T2 composed of six characters owned by the player P2.

  Then, after the teams T1 and T2 are formed, the terminals of the players P1 and P2 start a game in synchronization with a predetermined timing. First, when the player P1 turns at the passing point A1, the terminal 10-1 of the player P1 receives and selects one character from the six characters of the team T1 based on the operation input of the player P1. The command selection for the selected character is accepted, the command is executed, and the order of each character is updated.

  Next, it becomes the turn of the player P2 at the passing point A1, and the selection of one character from the six characters of the team T2 is accepted and selected on the terminal 10-2 of the player P2 based on the operation input of the player P2. The command selection is executed for the selected character, the command is executed, and the rank of each character is updated.

  In this way, when the turn of each player is completed at the same passing point, the process proceeds to the next passing point, and the turn processing of each player P1, P2 is performed in the same manner. In addition, each terminal transmits / receives information about operation input or information such as a command execution result via a server.

  Then, when the turn of the players P1 and P2 at the last passage point A13 is completed, it becomes a goal, and it is determined that the team to which the first-ranked character belongs is won and the other team is defeated.

(2) Example 2 of game system in which a plurality of players participate
The server may assign one player to each of the six characters that constitute one team, and advance the game. For example, the server forms a team T1 composed of players P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, and P6, and forms a team T2 composed of players P7, P8, P9, P10, P11, and P12.

  Then, after the teams T1 and T2 are formed, the terminals of the players P1 to P12 start a game in synchronization with a predetermined timing.

  First, when it becomes the team T1 side turn at the passing point A1, the server selects one player randomly or in a predetermined order from the players P1 to P6 belonging to the team T1.

  For example, when the server selects the player P1 among the players P1 to P6 belonging to the team T1, the server transmits information indicating that the player P1 has been selected to each terminal, and the player P1 operates the player P1 at the terminal 10 of the player P1. Based on the input, selection of a command for the operation target character of the player P1 is accepted, the command is executed, and the rank of each character is updated.

  Next, when it becomes a turn on the team T2 side at the passing point A1, the server selects one player randomly or in a predetermined order from the players P7 to P12 belonging to the team T2.

  For example, when the server selects the player P7 among the players P7 to P12 belonging to the team T2, the server transmits information indicating that the player P7 has been selected to each terminal, and the player P7 operates the player P7. Based on the input, selection of a command for the operation target character of the player P7 is accepted, the command is executed, and the rank of each character is updated.

  In this way, when the turn of each team (the turn of one player belonging to each team) is completed at the same passing point, the process proceeds to the next passing point, and similarly, the server performs an operation input in that turn at each team. A player is selected, and each team processes the turn based on the operation input of one player. In addition, each terminal transmits / receives information about operation input or information such as a command execution result via a server.

  Then, when the turn of each team at the last passing point A13 is completed, it becomes a goal, and it is determined that the team to which the first character belongs is won and the other team is defeated.

(3) Others The server transmits information (information such as game start time) for synchronizing game progress to each terminal at a predetermined timing.

  Also, after the game starts, each terminal transmits game information including at least one of input information, a selected character, a selected command, and a command execution result to the server. Further, when the server receives the game information from one terminal, the server transmits the game information to each other terminal.

  When receiving game information from each terminal, the server receives player identification information (or terminal identification information) together with the game information. In other words, the server is controlled so that it can identify which player (terminal) the received game information is. Further, when the game information received from the terminal is transmitted to another terminal, the server transmits player identification information (or terminal identification information) input together with the game information. That is, the terminal is controlled so that it can identify which player (terminal) the received game information is related to.

  In addition, the server may receive a winning / losing decision result (game result) from each terminal after the game ends, or may make a winning / losing determination based on game information received from each terminal during the game on the server side. .

  When a game is played with a plurality of players, a game system using a peer-to-peer (so-called P2P) system may be used. That is, a game system using a peer-to-peer (so-called P2P) system that executes a game while transmitting and receiving data between a plurality of terminals may be realized.

4.3 Cloud Computing The game system of the present embodiment may be configured so that almost all functions of the processing unit 100 of the terminal are realized by the server 20.

  For example, the game system may be a system realized by cloud computing. That is, in cloud computing, information (player information, etc.) for each player is stored, managed, and processed on a server. That is, the terminal 10 transmits various input information input from the input unit 160 to the server 20. Then, the server 20 performs processing of each unit of the processing unit 100 to generate image generation data for generating an image, and transmits the generated image generation data to each terminal. Here, the image generation data is data for displaying an image generated by the method of the present embodiment on each terminal, and may be image data itself or various types used by each terminal to generate an image. Data (object data, game processing result data, etc.) may be used. Further, the game system may be configured so that the processing of each unit of the processing unit 100 is executed by being distributed between the server and the terminal.
