  In the conventional game or method, when a player plays a game using a character, the game medium representing the character is evaluated by a single evaluation axis. Therefore, it is difficult for a player with a low level of proficiency in the game to approach the level of a player with a high level of proficiency in the game, thereby reducing the interest of the game.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a game that makes it possible to evaluate the player in various ways and makes the player feel highly entertaining even for a low-skilled player. That is.

In order to solve the above-described problem, a game program according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a calculation function for calculating an evaluation value of a player according to a play result of the predetermined game by the player, and a plurality of predetermined games. Are classified into at least a first hierarchy and a second hierarchy to which a player having a higher evaluation value than the first hierarchy belongs according to the evaluation value, and a predetermined function according to the evaluation value. A selection function for selecting a player to be played in the game, and the classification function further classifies the plurality of players classified into the second hierarchy into a plurality of hierarchies according to the evaluation values.

  The present invention can be implemented, for example, with the following three configurations. That is, the present invention may be implemented in a configuration in which (a) the computer functions as a client device (for example, a smartphone, a personal computer, etc.), and the game program is executed in the client device. The computer functions as a server device (for example, a mainframe, a cluster computer, an arbitrary computer that can provide game services to an external device, etc.), and part or all of the game program is executed in the server device. The result of the processed process may be returned to the client device, or (c) the process included in the game program may be arbitrarily shared between the client device and the server device. Good.

  Therefore, the display output function realized by the game program includes (a) a display provided in an external display device (for example, a portable terminal) that is communicably connected to the computer via a predetermined network (for example, the Internet). Part) may display at least one of the evaluation value, the increase / decrease value, and the classification information on the display device, or (b) a display device provided in the computer. The display information may be output to the display device so that at least one of the evaluation value, the increase / decrease value, and the classification information is displayed on the display device.

A game program according to an aspect of the present invention further causes a computer to realize an input information acquisition function for acquiring input information given by a player and a control function for controlling execution of a predetermined game. In accordance with the input information, the game media placement location associated with the player is moved, and a battle with the game media associated with the player's battle player is executed.

Further, the control unit may set a game medium in which a set physical strength value is reduced to a predetermined value or less in a predetermined game as a lost game medium.

The game program according to one aspect of the present invention determines whether or not an evaluation value calculated according to a play result of a predetermined game exceeds a predetermined threshold provided for each classification. The classification function may update the classifications of the plurality of players classified in the first hierarchy whenever the condition determination function determines that the evaluation value has exceeded a predetermined threshold. .

In the game program according to one aspect of the present invention, the condition determination function determines whether or not the evaluation value of the player classified in the second hierarchy exceeds a predetermined threshold provided according to the second hierarchy. Then, the classification function may update the classification of the plurality of players classified in the second hierarchy according to the determination result by the condition determination function for each predetermined period.
The classification function may classify a player whose evaluation value of a player classified into the second hierarchy is less than a certain value into the first hierarchy.

In order to solve the above problems, a game control method according to an aspect of the present invention includes a calculation step of calculating an evaluation value of a player according to a play result of the predetermined game by the player, A classification step for classifying a plurality of players into at least a first hierarchy and a second hierarchy to which a player having a higher evaluation value than the first hierarchy belongs according to the evaluation value, and a predetermined value according to the evaluation value A selection step for selecting a player to be played in the game and a classification step for further classifying the plurality of players classified in the second hierarchy into a plurality of hierarchies according to the evaluation value are executed.

In order to solve the above problems, a computer according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a calculation unit that calculates an evaluation value of a player according to a play result of the predetermined game by the player, and a plurality of players of the predetermined game. According to the evaluation value, at least the first tier and the classification unit that classifies the second tier to which the player with the evaluation value higher than the first tier belongs, and the player to play in a predetermined game according to the evaluation value And a selection unit that further classifies the plurality of players classified into the second layer into a plurality of layers according to the evaluation value.

  A game program, a game control method, and a computer according to one embodiment of the present invention increase or decrease an evaluation value calculated for a player, classify a plurality of players according to the evaluation value, and increase or decrease the evaluation value in a predetermined period. By increasing / decreasing the increase / decrease value for each category to which a plurality of players belong and outputting display information for displaying at least one of the evaluation value, the increase / decrease value, and the classification information indicating the classification, the player is evaluated in various ways. It is possible to provide a game that makes it possible to provide a game that is highly entertaining even if the player has a low level of proficiency.

  First, the computer according to one embodiment of the present invention functions as a server device, and the game program according to one embodiment of the present invention is a so-called web application (web game). A configuration in which the result of the executed process is returned to the portable terminal (client device) will be described in the first embodiment (Embodiment 1) with reference to FIGS.

  Next, a configuration in which the computer according to one embodiment of the present invention functions as a mobile terminal and the game program according to one embodiment of the present invention is executed as a so-called native application (native game) in the mobile terminal is Will be described in the second embodiment (second embodiment).

Embodiment 1
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

(Outline of the game)
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing an outline of a game example realized by the game program according to the present embodiment. FIG. 3 shows a situation where the player places his / her character (game medium) 1 on the right side and three enemy characters (game media) 2 to 4 are arranged. The game program realizes, for example, a battle game between characters. However, in order to describe the game program according to the present invention, the battle game is merely an example of one aspect of the game realized by the game program, and the game program includes, for example, pieces such as shogi. Various games, such as the used game and camp game, can be further realized.

  As illustrated in FIG. 3, the player gives input information regarding the position of the character 1 through the “matching interface” (which will be described in detail later with reference to FIGS. 4 to 7) (for example, touching). By performing the operation, the character 1 possessed by the player moves from the own team (or the area where there is no enemy) to the vicinity of the enemy team, and can start a battle with the enemy characters 2 to 4.

  As illustrated in FIG. 4A, the character 1 starts a game battle and repeats an attack or receives an attack from the enemy character 2. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4B, the attack of the character 1 hits the enemy character 2 directly (if the enemy character 2 avoids the attack by the character 1, the enemy character 2 can't be damaged).

  As illustrated in FIG. 5, when the character 1 wins a game match, the character 1 obtains an experience value, a GP (Game Point), and a class point (if defeated, the experience value, the GP, and the class And may not get points). The rank of the character 1 illustrated in FIG. 5 is “chief”, indicating that the characters 2 to 4 have been defeated. In addition to experience points, GP and rank points are given.

  As illustrated in FIG. 6, the player can set which character is used for the battle and what character group unit is used for the battle before the game. Specifically, (a) characters that are candidates for the opponent are displayed according to the rank of the player (for example, the chief). The player selects an opponent through the mobile terminal 10. (B) The player selects a unit that is a character or character group to be played against. (C) It is possible to instruct the start of a battle. (D) By paying the GP, the opponent's candidate character can be switched many times (the opponent candidate by switching is selected at random, and the number of switching can be limited to a certain number of times. You can also limit by increase / decrease). The server apparatus 20 acquires the information regarding (a) to (d) as input information by the input information acquisition unit 25 via the mobile terminal 10.

  As illustrated in FIG. 7A, when a player wins a battle, the rank may be promoted. Further, as illustrated in FIG. 7B, if the player loses the battle, the rank may be demoted.

  Thus, unlike the conventional game which raises a player's rank, the battle game implement | achieved by the said game program acquires an experience value by a player repeating a battle, and a player has at least two or more ranks. The rank of the character in the game is changed by evaluating points for increasing the value (for example, experience points, GP, class points, etc.) using various evaluation axes. Therefore, the above game program can realize a highly entertaining game that does not bore a player with low proficiency.

(Configuration of server device 20)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a main configuration of the server device 20. The server device (computer) 20 is an information processing device capable of executing a game program including processing described below. A specific device is not limited to a server as long as it is a device capable of executing the processing, and may be, for example, a workstation, a mainframe, or any other computer.

  As illustrated in FIG. 1, the server device 20 includes an evaluation value calculation unit 30 that calculates an evaluation value that can rank a plurality of players, and a result of playing a predetermined game by the player. An evaluation value increase / decrease unit 35 for increasing / decreasing the evaluation value calculated for the player, a player classification unit 40 for classifying each of the plurality of players according to the evaluation value, and an increase / decrease value obtained by increasing / decreasing the evaluation value in a predetermined period. An increase / decrease evaluation unit 45 that ranks for each category to which a plurality of players belong, and a display output unit 50 that outputs display information for displaying at least one of the evaluation value, the increase / decrease value, and the classification information indicating the category. Are provided. The server device 20 further includes an input information acquisition unit 25 (not shown), an opponent player selection unit 55, a classification change notification unit 60, a storage unit 65, a control unit 70, and a communication unit 75. The server device 20 may further include a display unit (not shown).

  The control unit 70 comprehensively controls various functions of the server device 20. The control unit 70 includes an evaluation value calculation unit 30, an evaluation value increase / decrease unit 35, a player classification unit 40, an increase / decrease evaluation unit 45, a display output unit 50, a condition determination unit 52, an opponent player selection unit 55, a classification change notification unit 60, and a storage. The unit 65 and the communication unit 75 may be included.

  The input information acquisition unit 25 acquires input information given from the player via the operation interface displayed on the game screens of the mobile terminals 10A to 10C. The input information may be information including the arrangement information of the character 1, battle information in which the type of battle is selected (information on which attack is selected), item usage information, and the like.

  The input information acquisition unit 25 determines the location of the base and moves the character (game medium) 1 intended for the player to play against in accordance with the input information. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a “matching interface” that the player operates to make the character 1 fight. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the display output unit 50 outputs display information for displaying a game screen including the battle interface on the display unit (the display unit provided in the mobile terminal 10 or the server) to the display unit. be able to. In addition, the display output unit 50 can output display information for displaying the character 1 on the display unit, so that the character 1 battles any of the characters 2 to 4.

  For example, in the game screen, the input information is input information acquisition unit so that the character 1 that starts the battle moves from the right side of the field included in the battle interface as illustrated in FIG. When input from 25 (when the player touches the input surface of the portable terminal 10), the control unit 70 starts a battle of the character 1 as shown in FIG. When the player selects an attack (for example, “screaming” in the example shown in FIG. 4), the character 1 attacks the character 2 as shown in FIG. When the character 1 is able to reduce the physical strength value of the character 2 (shown as a gauge “HP”) to a predetermined value or less (for example, zero), the control unit 70 determines that the character 1 is the character 2 The updated game medium information related to the character 1 is transmitted to the input information acquisition unit 25. The input information acquisition unit 25 outputs the game medium information to the storage unit 65 and the display output unit 50. In addition, the determination method of winning / losing is not limited to the said method, For example, the control part 70 can also determine by comparing the physical strength value of the character 1 and the character 2 after predetermined time.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 6 mentioned above, the control unit 70 receives an enemy character on the public battlefield via the input information acquisition unit 25 that has received the input information instructed from the mobile terminal 10. It can also be selected, or (b) it can be selected to fight an enemy character on a private battlefield (for example, a battlefield managed by another player). The control unit 70 can select a character. In addition, the control unit 70 (a) selection of a battle method of its own character and (b) which character is selected from the plurality of characters via the input information acquisition unit 25 that has received the input information instructed from the mobile terminal 10. Selection of whether to use, (c) selection of which enemy character to fight, etc. can be performed. Thereby, since the said game program can adjust the difficulty of the said game freely, the variation of the said game can be increased.

  The storage unit 65 stores game medium information related to the character 1 (information related to the game medium) in a predetermined storage device so that the player can manage the character 1 via the interface of the mobile terminal 10. In the present embodiment, the predetermined storage device is installed in a server device 20 that is communicably connected to the mobile terminal 10 via a predetermined network (for example, the Internet). Therefore, (1) the storage unit 65 acquires the game medium information input from the input information acquisition unit 25, and (2) the game medium information is associated with a player identifier that can uniquely identify the player. And stored in the predetermined storage device (cloud storage). Thereby, the game program can centrally manage the game medium information received from the portable terminal 10 operated by each player.

  On the other hand, the mobile terminal 10 may include the predetermined storage device (local storage), and the storage unit 65 may store the game medium information in the predetermined storage device. Thereby, the game program can make the player enjoy the game even when the mobile terminal 10 is in an environment where communication with an external device is impossible. In the following description, only an example in which the game program stores arbitrary information in the cloud storage will be described, but it goes without saying that the arbitrary information may be stored in the local storage.

  The storage unit 65 updates the game medium information related to the character stored in the predetermined storage device so that the character (characters 1 to 4) managed by the player changes in rank as the game progresses. . Specifically, the storage unit 65 updates the game medium information by generating update information indicating that the rank of the character has been updated over time in the game.

  The storage unit 65 (a) changes the experience points, GP, and rank points by winning or losing the battle of the character in the game, or (b) changes the experience points, GP, and rank points in the game. The game media information of the character whose rank has been changed can be updated.

  The evaluation value calculation unit (calculation function, calculation unit) 30 calculates experience points, GPs, and class points that increase / decrease due to the victory or defeat of the battle of the character 1 to be battled. The evaluation value calculation unit 30 calculates the class points by a predetermined rating coefficient. Specifically, the evaluation value calculation unit 30 calculates the rate difference between the player and the enemy player, the coefficient at the time of defeat, and at the time of victory. These coefficients are set in advance as a table, and are calculated based on the result of the table. Further, the evaluation value calculation unit 30 calculates the class points by accumulating or subtracting each time a match is made, but it may be calculated so that it is easy to increase when winning and less likely to decrease when losing. In addition, the evaluation value calculation unit 30 calculates GPs cumulatively according to the victory of the battle (however, it may be reduced depending on the game settings). Further, the evaluation value calculation unit 30 calculates and accumulates experience points according to the victory of the battle (however, it may be reduced depending on game settings).

  The evaluation value increasing / decreasing unit (increasing / decreasing function, increasing / decreasing unit) 35 uses the evaluation value calculated by the evaluation value calculating unit 30 (for example, a class point, a GP, an experience point, or a composite value thereof) for the battle of the character 1. At least one of experience points, GP, class points, and composite values that increase or decrease due to victory or defeat is increased or decreased (all of experience points, GP, class points may be increased or decreased). The evaluation value increase / decrease unit 35 may adjust the increase / decrease of the class points according to the class difference between the player and the enemy player, for example. Further, the evaluation value increasing / decreasing unit 35 may or may not increase the class points depending on the victory of the player. Further, the evaluation value increasing / decreasing unit 35 may or may not reduce the class points due to the player's defeat (if the player's class is lower than the enemy player's class, the class value is decreased). Not required).

  The condition determination unit (determination function, determination unit) 52 determines whether or not at least one of the evaluation value and the increase / decrease value exceeds a predetermined threshold that is provided according to the classification, as one of the determination conditions. Judge as. Further, when it is determined that the predetermined threshold value is exceeded, the player classification unit 40 reclassifies the player having the determined evaluation value or increase / decrease value. The condition determination unit 52 may further determine the number of players belonging to the classification by the player classification unit 40 as one of the determination conditions.

  The condition determination unit 52 determines, as one of the determination conditions, whether at least one of the evaluation value and the increase / decrease value exceeds a predetermined threshold provided according to the classification. Further, when it is determined that the predetermined threshold value is exceeded, the player classification unit 40 reclassifies the player having the determined evaluation value or increase / decrease value. The condition determination unit 52 may further determine the number of players belonging to the classification by the player classification unit 40 as one of the determination conditions.

  The opponent player selection unit (selection function, selection unit) 55 is another player having an evaluation value that approximates the evaluation value calculated for the player, or another player that belongs to the same category as that of the player. The player is selected as an opponent player with whom the player multi-plays the predetermined game.

  The player classification unit (classification function, classification unit) 40 classifies a plurality of players according to evaluation values. FIG. 8 shows the structure of the rank evaluation axis. As shown in FIG. 8, the player classification unit 40 has different evaluation axes for player classification depending on the upper layer (upper class), the middle layer (middle class), and the lower layer (lower class). Can be set. In addition, FIG. 9 shows the case where the above-described upper layer (upper class), middle layer (middle class), lower layer (lower class), and a special layer, the highest level (highest level), are provided. It shows the composition of the rank. For example, the upper rank is composed of the ranks of general, lieutenant general and major general, and the middle rank is composed of the ranks of colonel, lieutenant colonel, major, lieutenant, lieutenant, lieutenant, sergeant, sergeant, chief Consists of ranks of first class, first class, second class, and trainees. The upper layer may be further provided with the highest rank (the highest rank), and the highest rank (the highest rank) constitutes the rank of the marshal. In the lower layer, the player classification unit 40 makes a determination each time according to the value of the class point. Specifically, the player classification unit 40 classifies the player as a lower layer by obtaining a class point that is determined by the condition determination unit 52 and is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value of the lower layer. In other words, the lower layer is composed of players who have obtained class points less than a prescribed threshold value for becoming the middle layer determined by the condition determination unit 52. There is no downgrade from the lower layer to a lower class, and there is no ranking in the lower layer.

  For example, in the middle class, the player classification unit 40 performs determination according to the value of the class point for each period (for example, one week). Specifically, the player classification unit 40 (a) determines that the setting of the evaluation is different depending on the rank of the middle class, (b) is subdivided in units of 100 users of the same rank (class), Judgment is made by changing the calculation formula of the rating rating of the class points and changing the range of increase / decrease of the class points in the battle between players, (c) obtained by winning the battle, or calculated by the condition determination unit 52 In addition, it is determined by obtaining a class point equal to or greater than the total number of class points or a predetermined threshold, or (d) if the class point is less than a certain level, a determination is made to demote to a lower layer. Classify players. In other words, the player classification unit 40 promotes from the lower layer to the middle layer when the player's class point reaches the middle layer threshold. The middle class players are further classified into a plurality of groups based on class points for each rank, and class points (ie, increase / decrease values of class points) acquired within a predetermined period within each group. Ranking based on. When the increase / decrease value is equal to or greater than a prescribed threshold value by the condition determination unit 52, it can be promoted to a higher group in the middle class. Furthermore, when the acquired class points reach the upper layer threshold, the player can be promoted to the upper layer.

  For example, in the upper layer, the player classification unit 40 performs determination according to the class points and the ranking situation for each period (for example, one week). Specifically, the player classification unit 40 (a) determines that the setting of evaluation differs depending on the rank of the upper layer, and (b) sets a calculation formula for a joint evaluation rating of the same rank (class). (C) Class points that are obtained by winning the battle or calculated by the condition determination unit 52, and the class points that are equal to or higher than a prescribed threshold value. The player is classified by one of the following judgments: (d) If the class point is less than a certain level, the judgment is made to demote to the middle class. In other words, the player classification unit 40 performs ranking among all the players belonging to the upper layer based on the class points acquired within a predetermined period (that is, the increase / decrease value of the class points), and ranks higher according to the ranking result. Determine the rank within the stratum. The number of people is determined for each rank, and the rank is determined in order from the rank of the general. In addition, when the uppermost hierarchy (the uppermost class) is provided at a higher level than the upper layer, the order is determined in order from the marshal which is a rank constituting the uppermost hierarchy. In the above-described example, the example in which the rank is determined based on the class points is described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other evaluation values such as GP, experience points, or a composite value of these, etc. You may decide based on.

  The increase / decrease evaluation unit (increase / decrease evaluation function) 45 ranks each player using an increase / decrease value that is an increase / decrease value of any of the class points, GP, experience points, and composite values calculated in the above-described classification. Do.

  The display output unit (display output function) 50 can be displayed on the display unit of either the mobile terminal 10 or the server device 20 according to the ranking information obtained by the increase / decrease evaluation unit 45 described above. At least one of the increase / decrease value and the classification information indicating the classification is displayed. As shown in FIG. 7, the display output unit 50 may notify the player by displaying on the display unit that the player's rank has been raised or lowered, as shown in FIG. .

  When the classification to which the player belongs is changed by the player classification unit 40, the classification change notification unit (classification change notification function) 60 notifies the player of the change in the classification.

  An input unit (not shown) of the mobile terminal 10 receives a touch operation by the player. In the present embodiment, the input unit may be a touch panel that can detect the touch operation, for example. The input unit includes an input surface and an input control unit.
