Description

  The present invention relates to a game system capable of appropriately correcting the difficulty levels of a plurality of game data used in a game system, a game data difficulty level correction method, and a game data difficulty level correction program.

  In JP 2003-290543 A [Patent Document 1], game data is played from a plurality of game data to which difficulty levels are given in advance after checking the difficulty levels of a plurality of games (game data) on a screen. A game operation system for selecting is disclosed. In this system, the index difficulty level of the corresponding game data is recalculated based on the game result data obtained by executing the game data, and the difficulty level is changed.

JP 2003-290543 A

  However, conventionally, when the difficulty level of game data is changed based on the game result, if the play skill level of a plurality of players who have selected certain game data is reasonably high, the play result of each player is appropriate. Since a good play result is obtained, the difficulty level is changed so that the difficulty level is lower than the appropriate difficulty level. On the other hand, when the play skill level of a plurality of players who have selected the game data is low, a bad play result is obtained in the play result of each player, so the difficulty level becomes higher than the appropriate difficulty level. As described above, the difficulty level is changed. As a result, in the conventional technology, it is difficult to say that the difficulty level is changed appropriately.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a game system, a game data difficulty correction method, and game data that can appropriately change the difficulty level by reflecting the opinions of the players who have played in the difficulty level change. The purpose is to provide a difficulty correction program.

  In addition to the above object, another object of the present invention is to provide a game system capable of reflecting the opinion of the player who played the game in the change in the difficulty level, taking into account the player's playing skill level, and correcting the difficulty level of the game data. A method and a game data difficulty level correction program are provided.

  The game system that is the basis of the present invention includes a game data storage unit, a selection unit, an execution processing unit, a difficulty level questioning unit, an answer total storage unit, and a difficulty level changing unit. The game system may be configured as a single game-dedicated device without being connected to a network, or may be configured to use a server connected to the network as a data storage unit, and further a personal computer It may be configured by installing a program.

  In the game data storage unit, a plurality of game data to which any one of a plurality of predetermined difficulty levels is given are stored together with data indicating the difficulty level. The first difficulty level for each game data is determined by the producer based on a preliminary test, for example.

  The selection unit enables the player to select game data to be played after confirming the difficulty level of the plurality of game data from the plurality of game data stored in the game data storage unit. In general, select game data by displaying on the screen the names of several game data selected from a plurality of game data in a predetermined order or randomly. I do. The execution processing unit executes the game data selected by the selection unit.

  The difficulty level question unit presents a question regarding the level of difficulty to the player after the execution processing unit executes the game data. “After the execution processing unit executes the game data” includes, for example, not only after the game corresponding to one time is completely ended but also when the player ends the game in the middle of the game. Further, the “question about suitability of difficulty” means that the difficulty of the game data confirmed at the time of selection is more difficult than the confirmed difficulty, whether the player felt that it was appropriate after playing. The question may be in any form and content as long as it is at least known whether the player feels that the player feels easier than the confirmed difficulty level. The question and the answer column may be presented on the display screen of the display device, or the question may be asked by voice. The answer may be input using a controller used in the game, a touch switch formed on the display screen, a voice input microphone, or the like.

  The answer total storage unit totals and stores the player's answers to the questions for each of a plurality of game data. The totaling of the answers may be arbitrarily determined according to the question type / contents and the answer type.

  For example, the difficulty level questioning section asks the player whether the game data played is “difficult”, “ordinary” or “easy” as a question related to the difficulty level. When presenting, the answer total storage unit can be configured as follows. That is, for a plurality of game data, when the player's answer to the question is “difficult”, “+ n” (where n is a positive number), “normal” “0 (zero)”, “easy” "-M" (where m is a positive number) is assigned as an evaluation point, and the answer total storage unit can be configured to accumulate these evaluation points to obtain a total result. In addition, the difficulty level question unit may present a question to the player as a question related to the level of difficulty, which causes the player to select the difficulty level of the game data played. In this case, when the player's answer to the question indicates a difficulty level higher than the current difficulty level for a plurality of game data, the answer total storage unit indicates that the current difficulty level is “+ n” (where n is a positive number). “0” may be given as the evaluation point when the difficulty level is the same as the degree, and “−m” (where m is a positive number) when the difficulty level is lower than the current difficulty level. Of course, n = m may be satisfied. In this case, the answer total storage unit can be configured to store the cumulative value of the evaluation points as the total result for each of the plurality of game data. It should be noted that, instead of the combination of “+ n”, “0”, and “−m”, an evaluation point “+ k” (however, n> k) other than 0 may be given to the above “normal”, for example. Of course. Further, when it was “easy”, an evaluation point of “+ m” may be given instead of an evaluation point of “−m”. In that case, each evaluation point may have a relationship of n> k> m.

  The difficulty level changing unit re-evaluates the suitability of the difficulty level given to each of the plurality of game data based on the counting result of the answer counting storage unit. The difficulty level changing unit changes the data indicating the difficulty level stored in the game data storage unit with respect to the game data for which the evaluation result indicating that the difficulty level needs to be changed is obtained. The re-evaluation timing standard and evaluation standard are preferably determined so as to reflect the player's answer (opinion) as accurately as possible. With respect to the timing criteria, it is preferable that the difficulty level changing unit performs a re-evaluation when a predetermined number of answers are collected for each game data or when a predetermined period has elapsed. If the “predetermined number of times” is too small, the result may be biased, so it is preferable that the number of times is as large as possible. However, if the number of times is too large, there is a problem that it takes too much time to reach the specified number of times in the game data that is not so selected by the player. For example, the highest difficulty level or the lowest difficulty level is selected relatively less times than the intermediate difficulty level. In that case, it is preferable to perform the re-evaluation when a predetermined period has elapsed. The number of times and the period can be used together. For example, re-evaluation is performed when a predetermined number of times is reached before the period has passed, and those that do not reach the predetermined number of times by a predetermined period are reset without performing the re-evaluation. You may make it do. In addition, if there are, for example, half or more of the predetermined number of responses within a predetermined period, re-evaluation may be performed. The method for determining the evaluation time is arbitrary.

  The evaluation standard is preferably determined so that the player's opinion can be reflected as accurately as possible. As described above, when the answers are totaled by the evaluation points for each number of times, the evaluation can be performed based on the accumulated value (total value) of the evaluation points. For example, the difficulty level changing unit raises the difficulty level of the game data whose cumulative value exceeds a predetermined upper limit value for each of the plurality of game data by at least one rank, and the cumulative value becomes smaller than the predetermined lower limit value. As a re-evaluation criteria for the suitability of difficulty, the difficulty level of game data is lowered by at least one rank, and the difficulty level of game data whose cumulative value is between a predetermined upper limit value and lower limit value is maintained as it is. Also good. In this way, the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the number of times, the rank of the rank to be raised, and the rank of the rank to be lowered can be arbitrarily determined, so that the evaluation criteria can be determined together with the response trend of the player who answers. Note that the rank level to be raised or lowered may be changed in proportion to the difference between the cumulative value and the upper limit value or the lower limit value. For example, if the difference between the upper limit value and the cumulative value exceeding the upper limit value is within 1 time of the reference difference, the rank is increased by 1 rank, if the difference is q times, the rank is increased by q, and the cumulative value and lower limit value are smaller than the lower limit value. If the difference is within 1 time of the reference difference, the rank may be lowered by 1 rank, and if the difference is q times, the rank may be lowered by q. In this way, it is possible to quickly respond to the player's intention.

  In order to increase the accuracy of the difficulty level change, play technology level information for storing information about which play technology level of a plurality of predetermined play technology levels the player who selected the game data has It is preferable to further include a storage unit. If information on the play skill level of the player who made the answer can be obtained, the credibility and utility value of the answer can be determined based on the difficulty level of the selected game data and the skill level of the player. Note that how to use the difficulty level of the game data and the technical level of the player is arbitrary. The play technology level information storage unit acquires and stores play technology level information from the player's personal data stored in the center server, or acquires and stores play technology level information from the player. From the player, for example, the play skill level can be acquired from a storage medium such as an IC card owned by the player. Of course, the player may input from the input unit of the game device before the play.

  For example, the difficulty level question unit may be configured to present a question regarding the suitability of the difficulty level to the player only when the difficulty level and the play skill level are in a predetermined relationship. For example, when the difficulty level is 60 to 70 as described above, the answers of the players with the high skill level and the medium level are accumulated, but the answers of the players with the low skill level are accumulated. It is to establish a relationship such as not. This is because the game data difficulty level is quite high, and when the player's play skill level is extremely low, only the answer that “the game data played is difficult” is obtained. Even if they are collected, they cannot be used to determine how much is too difficult. Therefore, in such a case, it is preferable to accumulate only answers from players having a high technical level. Because, when the difficulty level of game data is quite high, if the answer is “game data played is easy”, the credibility of the answer is very low as judged from the skill level of the player It is because it can be considered. Therefore, by providing a condition that satisfies a predetermined relationship between the difficulty level and the play skill level, it is possible to accumulate highly credible answers and improve the determination accuracy. Therefore, it is preferable that the answer total storage unit is configured to accumulate the answers only when the difficulty level and the play skill level are in a predetermined relationship, and not to accumulate the answers when they are out of the relationship.

  In order to make the best use of the answers, the answer counting storage unit stores the play skill level together with the answers, and gives the weight determined based on the play skill level when giving the result. It is preferable to make a correction so as to create a corrected answer and output a result of totaling the corrected answers.

  Specifically, in the case of considering the weighting factor, a corrected evaluation point obtained by multiplying the above-mentioned evaluation point by a weighting factor determined based on the above-mentioned player's play skill level is set as a correction answer. For each of the game data, the answer total storage unit may be configured to store the cumulative value of the correction evaluation points as the total result.

  Here, the “weight (weight coefficient)” needs to be determined according to the relationship between the difficulty level of the game data and the player's play skill level. For example, as an example of determining “weight (weight coefficient)”, game data having a medium difficulty level is set for game data having a high difficulty level by setting a weight coefficient that increases in proportion to the player's play skill level. For the game data with a low difficulty level, the weighting coefficient for the player with a low skill level is the highest. It is preferable to set the weighting factor so that the weighting factor with respect to the answer of the player having a high play skill level becomes the smallest (so as to be inversely proportional to the player's play skill level). The method of determining the weight (weight coefficient) is not limited to the above, and any method may be used as long as the answer result is proportional to the credibility of the answer.

  The game system of the present invention may be built in a single game device, but may be configured as a game system in which a plurality of game terminals are connected to the center server via a communication line. Of course. In this case, the game data storage unit in which a plurality of pieces of game data to which any one of a plurality of predetermined difficulty levels is given together with data indicating the difficulty level is a center server or a game What is necessary is just to provide in a terminal device.

  The game terminal is provided with a selection unit that selects game data to be played from the plurality of game data stored in the game data storage unit after confirming the difficulty level of the plurality of game data. Further, a play technology level information storage unit that stores information about which play technology level of a plurality of predetermined play technology levels the player who selected the game data has is also a center server or a game terminal. Provided in the vessel. Of course, the play information storage unit may be provided in the center server during the game.

  An execution processing unit for executing the selected game data is also provided in the game terminal. Then, after the execution processing unit executes the game data, the difficulty level question unit for presenting a question regarding the suitability of the difficulty level to the player may be provided in either the center server or the game terminal. Also, an answer total storage unit is provided in the center server for totaling and storing corrected answers obtained by adding weights determined based on the player's play skill level to the player's answers to the questions for correction. Further, based on the counting result of the answer counting unit, the game data regarding the game data obtained by re-evaluating the suitability of the difficulty level given to each of the plurality of game data and obtaining the evaluation result that the difficulty level needs to be changed is obtained. A difficulty level changing unit for changing data indicating the difficulty level accumulated in the accumulation unit is provided in the center server.

  If at least the center server has an answer total storage unit and a difficulty level changing unit, even if there are multiple game terminals, the center server counts the answers and changes the difficulty level. The burden on the vessel is reduced. In addition, since the necessity of changing the difficulty level can be determined based on more answers, the determination accuracy can be improved.

  Even when the center server is used, it is needless to say that various features of the above-described other inventions can be used together.

  The invention can also be understood as a method of correcting the difficulty level of a plurality of game data used in a game system. In this method invention, the computer executes the first to third steps. In the first step, after the game computer executes the game data, a question regarding the difficulty level is presented to the player. In the second step, the player's answers to the questions are aggregated for each of a plurality of game data and stored in the storage unit. In the third step, the suitability of the difficulty level given to each of the plurality of game data is re-evaluated based on the total result stored in the storage unit obtained in the second step, and the difficulty level is changed. Data indicating the degree of difficulty is changed with respect to game data for which an evaluation result indicating that it is necessary is obtained.

  Further, in the second step, correction is performed by adding a weight determined based on information about which play skill level of the plurality of play skill levels determined in advance to the answer. Answers may be created and corrected answers may be aggregated.

  Further, in the third step, the re-evaluation may be performed when a predetermined number of answers are collected for each game data or when a predetermined period has elapsed.

  Further, in the first step, as a question, the player is presented with a question for selecting whether the game data played is “difficult”, “ordinary” or “easy”. be able to. In this case, in the second step, “+ n” (where n is a positive number) when the player's answer to the question is “difficult” for a plurality of game data; When “0” or “It was easy”, “−m” (where m is a positive number) may be given as an evaluation point. In the second step, a corrected evaluation point obtained by multiplying the evaluation point by a weighting factor determined based on the player's play skill level is defined as a corrected answer, and the correction evaluation point of each of the plurality of game data is determined. The accumulated value can be used as the total result. In the third step, the difficulty level of the game data in which the accumulated value exceeds the predetermined upper limit when each of the plurality of game data is obtained a predetermined number of times is increased by at least one rank. The difficulty level of the game data whose cumulative value exceeds the predetermined lower limit value is lowered by at least one rank, and the difficulty level of the game data whose cumulative value is between the predetermined upper limit value and lower limit value is maintained as it is. This can be used as a reevaluation criterion for suitability of difficulty.

  When the technical level of the player is not taken into consideration, in the second step, the correction value is set to a predetermined upper limit value when a predetermined number of responses are obtained for each of a plurality of game data. The difficulty level of the game data exceeding the upper limit is increased by at least one rank, the difficulty level of the game data whose cumulative value is smaller than the predetermined lower limit value is decreased by at least one rank, and the upper limit value and lower limit value where the cumulative value is predetermined It may be used as a re-evaluation standard for the suitability of the difficulty level to maintain the difficulty level of the game data between the current and current levels.

  The present invention can also be understood as a game data difficulty level correction program for causing a computer to execute correction of difficulty levels of a plurality of game data used in a game system. This program is configured such that the computer executes the first to third steps of the above-described method.

  Note that the game data difficulty level correction program may be stored in a computer-readable storage medium.

  FIG. 2 also shows two function realizing elements configured in the center server 1, that is, the answer total storage unit 11 and the difficulty level changing unit 13. In the figure, illustration of hardware such as a communication unit in the center server 1 is omitted.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing components of an example of an embodiment of the game system of the present invention configured in the game terminal 5 and the center server 1. Among the components shown in the block diagram of FIG. 2, most of the components excluding the portion corresponding to the hardware are the programs shown in the algorithms shown in FIGS. 4 to 8 in the game terminal 5 and the center server 1. Realized by being installed on a computer. FIGS. 4 to 7 are flowcharts showing an algorithm of a program installed in the computer used for realizing the game system of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 will be described below together with the algorithms of FIGS.

  The game system 6 includes a game data storage unit 51 implemented in the game terminal 5, a selection unit 55 including a display screen 52, a display control unit 53, and a controller 54, an execution processing unit 56, and a play technology. The level information storage unit 57, the difficulty level question unit 58, the answer total storage unit 11 and the difficulty level change unit 13 realized in the center server 1 are provided as basic components.

  In the game data storage unit 51, a plurality of game data to which any one of the predetermined difficulty levels is given are stored together with data indicating the difficulty level. In the present embodiment, the game data uses music data for playing a specific music, data for displaying an image displayed on the display screen 52 when the music data is played, and these data. Program to be included. Music data is reproduced by a music generation unit (not shown) via the execution processing unit 56. For example, the first difficulty level for each game data is determined by the producer based on a preliminary test. In the present embodiment, the difficulty level is represented by a numerical value such that the higher the difficulty level, the larger the number, and the lower the difficulty level, the smaller the number. For example, in the present embodiment, difficulty levels from level 1 to level 99 are defined. In this case, the highest difficulty level is represented by a numerical value “99”, and the lowest difficulty level is represented by a numerical value “1”.

  The selection unit 55 enables the player to select game data to be played after confirming the difficulty level of the plurality of game data from the plurality of game data stored in the game data storage unit 51. In the present embodiment, first, the display control unit 53 displays names and difficulty levels of some game data selected in a predetermined order or randomly from a plurality of game data stored in the game data storage unit 51. Is displayed on the display screen 52. The game data is selected by selecting a name on the display screen 52 by operating the controller 54. The controller 54 constituting a part of the selection unit 55 has a function of selecting game data to be played from a plurality of game data stored in the game data storage unit 51. For example, when using a controller simulating a guitar as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-290543 as the controller 54, music (game data) to be played using the three neck buttons of the controller simulating a guitar is used. You can choose. Of course, as the controller 54, an arcade game machine as shown in FIG. 1 of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-218046 may be used.

  FIG. 3A shows an example of a display for selection displayed on the display screen 52 when game data is selected. In this example, the difficulty level of the song is displayed as a number next to the song name of the seven songs. In FIG. 3A, a forward button 52a, a backward button 52b, and a confirm button 52c are provided. When one of the controller neck buttons is pressed, the selection key 52d moves from top to bottom, and when the other one of the controller neck buttons is pressed, the forward button 52a is pressed. When a song is displayed and another neck button is pressed, the backward feed button 52b is pressed, and the next seven songs are displayed. When the two neck buttons are pressed simultaneously, the enter button 52c is pressed. This operation can be realized by using a button selection technique on the screen using a cursor and a mouse in the personal computer when the personal computer is used as the game terminal 5. Further, when the display screen 52 has a touch switch function, selection can be realized by directly touching each button by the player. It should be noted that the selection screen display and the selection operation are executed by steps ST1 and ST2 of the algorithm of FIG.

  In the present embodiment, in order to increase the accuracy of the difficulty level change, information about which play skill level of a plurality of predetermined play skill levels the player who selected the game data has is played. The selection unit 55 is also used as a play technology level information input unit used for storage in the technology level information storage unit 57. FIG. 3B shows an example of a screen for inputting a play skill level. In this example, when the selection button 52e is clicked, numbers 1 to 9 indicating a 10-digit value can be selected, and when the selection button 52f is clicked, numbers 0 to 9 indicating a 1-digit value can be selected. . When the confirm button 52g is clicked, the input value is confirmed. These clicks can be realized using, for example, the neck button, the cursor and mouse of the personal computer, the touch switch function of the screen, and the like. The input play skill level is stored in the play skill level information storage unit 57. The play skill level information storage unit 57 may acquire and store the play skill level information from the personal data of the player stored in the center server 1. Also, if the player's ID is stored in the IC card owned by the player and the IC chip information reading function is implemented on the game terminal side, the player holds the IC card over the game terminal, Information about the play skill level of the player associated with the ID may be acquired from the center server 1.

  Usually, the play skill level can be determined in the center server 1. For example, as an example, when the player is playing 10 or more songs, it can be determined by calculating an average of 7 songs having a high clear level.

  For example, it is assumed that the music best 7 that has been cleared is as follows.

Number / Song / Level 1) CCCCC LV 23
2) IEEE LV 22
3) GGGGGG LV 22
4) BBBBB LV 21
5) FFFFF LV 21
6) AAAAA LV 20
7) DDDDD LV 19
In the above case, since the total value of the levels is 148 and the average level is 21.1, the skill level (the play skill level) is LV21. If less than 10 songs have been played, no level is assigned, or reliability is reduced, but an average value is calculated as described above from songs that have been played and cleared, and a provisional play technology level is assigned. You may do it. If a temporary play skill level is given, the questionnaire of the played songs may not be questioned in the first place, or may not be adopted even if the question is asked.

  Note that the player's play skill level input (acquisition) and storage operation to the play skill level information storage unit 57 are realized by steps ST3 to ST5 of the algorithm of FIG. In the algorithm of FIG. 4, the game cannot be started unless there is an input of the play skill level. However, even if there is no input of the play skill level, it is a matter of course that the game may be started on the assumption that it will not be used for counting the answers described later.

  The execution processing unit 56 executes the game data selected by the selection unit 55. Specifically, the execution processing unit 56 outputs a command to display the game image on the display screen 52 to the display control unit 53 based on the image data included in the selected game data. In addition, the execution processing unit 56 causes the music playback unit (not shown) to play music based on the music data included in the game data at the same time. The execution processing unit 56 controls the progress of the entire game. Of course, an input signal from the controller 54 is used for the progress of the game. In the algorithm of FIG. 4, the operation of the execution processing unit 56 is executed in steps ST6 and ST7.

  The difficulty level question part 58 presents a question regarding the suitability of the difficulty level to the player after executing the game data selected by the execution processing part 56. Here, after the execution processing unit 56 executes the game data, for example, not only after the game corresponding to one time is completely ended, but also includes a case where the player ends the game in the middle of the game. The “question about the difficulty level” means that the player feels that the difficulty level of the game data confirmed at the time of selection is appropriate after playing or that the difficulty level is more difficult than the confirmed difficulty level. As long as the player feels that the player feels easier than the confirmed difficulty level. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3C, a question and an answer column are presented on the display screen 52 of the display device. In the example of FIG. 3C, below the point display at the end of the game, a question display 52h of “How was this song?” And “It was difficult”, “It was normal” and “It was easy” And the answer display 52i is displayed in a selectable manner. A confirmation button 52j is also displayed on the display screen 52. The answer can be selected by using the neck button or the cursor and mouse of the personal computer. The question may be asked by voice. The answer can also be input using a controller used in the game, a touch switch formed on the display screen, a voice input microphone, or the like. In the algorithm of FIG. 4, the difficulty level question part 58 is implement | achieved by step ST8.

  The answer tabulation storage unit 11 tabulates and stores the player's answers to the questions for each of the plurality of game data stored in the game data storage unit 51. In the algorithm of FIG. 4, when the end of the game is confirmed in step ST7, a difficulty level question is asked in step ST8. In step ST9, whether or not there is an answer is confirmed. If there is an answer, the answer is totaled in step ST10. If there is no answer, the answer is totaled in step ST10.

  The difficulty question method and the answer aggregation method are arbitrarily determined according to the question type / content and the answer type. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of details of step ST8 and step ST10 of FIG. 4 (note that step ST9 of FIG. 4 is omitted).

  In the present embodiment, in order to increase the accuracy of the difficulty level change, information about which play skill level of a plurality of predetermined play skill levels the player who selected the game data has is played. It is stored in the technical level information storage unit 57. Specifically, it is possible to determine the credibility and utility value of the answer based on the play skill level of the player who made the answer and the difficulty level of the selected game data. Therefore, in step ST181 of FIG. 5, the difficulty level question unit 13 presents the question regarding the difficulty level to the player only when the difficulty level and the play skill level are within a predetermined allowable range (or relationship). . The predetermined allowable range (or relationship) is that when the difficulty level is 60 to 70 as described above, the answers of players with high or medium skill levels are accumulated, but the responses of players with low skill levels are accumulated. The answer is an acceptable range (or relationship) that does not accumulate. This is because if the game data difficulty level is quite high, and the player's play skill level is extremely low, only the answer that it was difficult was obtained, even if many answers were collected This is because it cannot be used to determine how much is too difficult. In addition, when the difficulty level of the game data is quite high, if the answer is “easy”, it can be considered that the credibility of the answer is very low as judged from the skill level of the player. Because it can. Therefore, in this embodiment, in such a case, only the answers of players having a high technical level are accumulated (step ST81). In this way, by providing the condition that the predetermined allowable range relationship (relationship) is satisfied between the difficulty level and the play skill level, it is possible to accumulate highly credible answers and improve the determination accuracy. Can do.

  In the present embodiment, in step ST82 of FIG. 5, whether the difficulty level question part 58 has played the game data as “question” was “difficult”, “normal” or “easy” A question that causes the player to select is presented. As shown in steps ST101 to ST106 in FIG. 5, the answer total storage unit 11 is “+ n” (where n is a positive number) and “normal” when the player's answer to the question is “difficult”. In the case of "0", "0 (zero)" is given as an evaluation point, and in the case of "easy", "-m" (where m is a positive number) is given as an evaluation point. Then, the answer total storage unit 11 accumulates the evaluation points for each game data to be answered and stores it as a total result (step ST107 in FIG. 5). It should be noted that the values of n and m are arbitrary. For example, it is needless to say that n = m. It is also possible to give an evaluation point “+ k” (where n> k) other than 0 to “normal” instead of a combination of “+ n”, “0” and “−m”. It is. Further, when it was “easy”, an evaluation point of “+ m” may be given instead of an evaluation point of “−m”. In that case, each evaluation point may have a relationship of n> k> m.

  The difficulty level changing unit 13 re-evaluates the suitability of the difficulty level given to each of the plurality of game data stored in the game data storage unit 51 based on the total result of the answer total storage unit 11. Then, the difficulty level changing unit 13 changes the data indicating the difficulty level stored in the game data storage unit 51 with respect to the game data for which the evaluation result indicating that the difficulty level needs to be changed is obtained. In the algorithm of FIG. 4, it is determined whether or not the difficulty level needs to be changed in step ST11. If there is a need for change, the difficulty level is changed in step ST12, and if there is no need for change, the process ends.

  It is preferable to determine whether or not the difficulty level needs to be changed, that is, the timing standard and the evaluation standard for re-evaluation so that the player's answer (opinion) can be reflected as accurately as possible. FIG. 6 shows an example of details of step ST11 of FIG. In step ST111, it is determined whether or not the answer total has been updated for each of the plurality of game data. In step ST112, it is determined whether or not a predetermined number of times (P times) of answers have been obtained for each game data. If the predetermined number of answers has not been obtained, the process returns to step ST111. When there is game data in which the number of answers reaches a predetermined number (P times), the process proceeds to step ST113 to determine whether or not a predetermined period T has elapsed. If the period T has elapsed, the process proceeds to step ST114 to re-evaluate the difficulty level. If the period T has not elapsed, the process returns to step ST111. In step ST115, the necessity of changing the difficulty level is determined by re-evaluation. When it is determined that the difficulty level needs to be changed with respect to certain game data, the process proceeds to step ST12. When it is determined that the game data is not necessary, the process returns to step ST111. In the present embodiment, as the timing standard for re-evaluation, since both conditions of the predetermined number of times P and the predetermined period T are used in combination, the criteria are the strictest. As a result, the accuracy of the difficulty level change determination is high.

  However, regarding the timing criteria for re-evaluation, the difficulty level changing unit may perform re-evaluation when a predetermined number of answers are collected for each game data or when a predetermined period has elapsed. Good. Note that if the “predetermined number of times” is too small, the results may be biased, so it is preferable that the number of times is as large as possible. However, if the number of times is too large, there is a problem that it takes too long to reach the specified number of times P in the game data that is not selected by the player. In that case, it is preferable to perform the reevaluation when a predetermined period T has elapsed.

  Unlike the algorithm of FIG. 6, a re-evaluation is performed when the predetermined number P is reached before the period T elapses, and the predetermined number T is not reached by the predetermined period T. The count of the number of times may be reset without performing reevaluation.

  Further, unlike the algorithm of FIG. 6, if there are more than half of the predetermined number of times P (P / 2) within a predetermined period T, for example, re-evaluation is performed. Also good. The method for determining the evaluation time is arbitrary.

  The evaluation standard used in step ST114 is preferably determined so that the player's opinion can be reflected as accurately as possible. FIG. 7 shows an example of details of step ST114. In the algorithm of FIG. 7, reevaluation is performed based on the accumulated value N (total value) of evaluation points after a predetermined number of times P or more and after a predetermined period T has elapsed. In step ST114A, the difficulty level changing unit 13 determines whether or not the accumulated value N exceeds a predetermined upper limit value for each of the plurality of game data stored in the game data storage unit 51 (for the Mth game data). Judgment is made. If the accumulated value N exceeds the predetermined upper limit value, the difficulty level of the game data is increased by at least one rank in step ST114C. In FIG. 7, “1 rank” is raised for convenience, but the rank of the rank to be raised is arbitrary. Next, in step ST114D, it is determined whether or not the accumulated value N is smaller than a predetermined lower limit value. If the accumulated value N is smaller than a predetermined lower limit value, the process proceeds to step ST114F, and the difficulty level of the game data is lowered by at least one rank. In FIG. 7, for convenience, the rank is lowered by “1 rank”, but the rank of the rank to be lowered is arbitrary. If the accumulated value is between the predetermined upper limit value and lower limit value, the process proceeds to step ST114E, and the difficulty level of the game data is maintained as it is. The re-evaluation results (determination results) in step ST114C, step 114E, and step 114E are temporarily stored in the internal memory in the difficulty level changing unit 13 in step ST114G. In this way, the upper limit value and lower limit value of the number of times, the rank of the rank to be raised, and the rank of the rank to be lowered can be arbitrarily determined, so that the evaluation criteria can be determined together with the response trend of the player who answers. In step ST114H, “M + 1” is executed in order to re-evaluate the next game data. If it is determined in step ST114I that all of the game data (M pieces) stored in the game data storage unit 51 have been re-evaluated, the process proceeds to step ST115. In step ST115, it is determined whether or not there is a change in the difficulty level in the determination result temporarily stored in the internal memory in the difficulty level changing unit 13. If there is a change in the difficulty level, the process proceeds to step ST12 in FIG. 4 to change the difficulty level. If the answer total storage unit 11 and the difficulty level changing unit 13 are on the center server 1 side as in the present embodiment, the questions executed in a plurality of game terminals 5 and the answers thereto are totaled in the center server 1. Therefore, the necessary number of answers can be obtained early. Then, the difficulty level changing unit 13 in the center server 1 changes the difficulty level of specific game data to the game data storage units 51 of all the game terminals 5 connected to the network 3 at once. Can be directed. Unlike the above-described embodiment, it is needless to say that one game data storage unit 51 may be provided in the center server 1 so as to be shared by all the game terminals 5. In this case, necessary information may be obtained from the game data storage unit 51 in the center server 1 via the network 3 and desired game data may be downloaded to the game terminal 5.

  Unlike the above embodiment, although accuracy is lowered, for the sake of simplicity, it is determined whether or not the difficulty level and the play skill level are within a predetermined allowable range (relationship) in the answer total storage unit 11. Regardless, you may make it accumulate | store an answer.

  Also, unlike the above embodiment, in order to make the best use of the answers, the answer total storage unit 11 corrects the answers by assigning weights determined based on the play skill level when outputting the total results. It is also possible to create a corrected answer and output the result of collecting the corrected answers. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the configuration of the main part of the algorithm in the case of totalizing corrected answers. In the steps shown in the flowchart of FIG. 8, the same parts as those of the steps of the flowchart shown in FIG. 5 are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in FIG. In the example of FIG. 8, the weighting factor α is used for correction with weights. Therefore, in steps ST102 ′ and 106 ′, the corrected evaluation points (α × n, −α ×) obtained by multiplying the evaluation points (n, m) by the weighting coefficient α determined based on the player's play skill level. m) is calculated as a corrected answer. Then, the answer total storage unit 11 is configured to store the cumulative value of the correction evaluation points as the total result for each of the plurality of game data. The other step ST81, step ST82, step ST101, step ST103, step ST104 and step ST105 shown in FIG. 8 are the same as step ST81, step ST82, step ST101, step ST103, step ST104 and step ST105 shown in FIG. The same.

  Here, the “weight (weight coefficient α)” needs to be determined according to the relationship between the difficulty level of the game data and the play skill level of the player. As an example of determining “weight (weight coefficient α)”, as described above, a weight coefficient that increases in proportion to the player's play skill level is set for game data having a high degree of difficulty. That is, for game data with a high degree of difficulty, the weighting coefficient when the play skill level is the highest is α, and the weighting coefficient is made smaller than α as the play skill level decreases. For game data with a medium difficulty level, the weighting coefficient α is set so that the weighting coefficient α with respect to an answer from a player with a medium play skill level is the largest. In this case, the weighting factor α is decreased as the play skill level increases from the middle level and as the play skill level falls from the middle level. For game data having a lower difficulty level, the weighting coefficient α for the answer of the player with the lower technical level is the largest, and the weighting coefficient α for the answer of the player with the higher technical level is the smallest (reverse to the technical level of the player). It is preferable to set the weighting factor (so that it is in a proportional relationship). The method of determining the weight (weight coefficient α) is not limited to the above, and any method may be used as long as the answer result is proportional to the credibility of the answer.

  Also, unlike the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 to 7, the rank level of increasing or decreasing difficulty is changed in proportion to the difference between the accumulated value N of the evaluation points and the upper limit value or the lower limit value. Of course, it is good. For example, if the difference D = (N−Nmax) between the upper limit value Nmax and the cumulative value N exceeding the upper limit value is within one time of the reference difference Dref, the difficulty level is increased by one rank, and the difference D is (q -1) If it is times to q times (q is an integer greater than 1), the difficulty level may be increased by q ranks. If the absolute value | −N + Nmin | = D of the difference between the cumulative value −N smaller than the lower limit value −Nmin and the lower limit value −Nmin is within 1 times the reference difference Dref, the absolute value D of the difference is decreased by one rank. If the reference difference Dref is (q-1) times to q times (q is an integer greater than 1), the difficulty level may be lowered by q ranks. In this way, it is possible to quickly respond to the player's intention.

  Unlike the game system in which a plurality of game terminals 5 are connected to the center server 1 via the network 3 as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. It may be constructed in a single game device. In that case, the answer total storage unit 11 and the difficulty level changing unit 13 are all built in a single game device.

  When the present invention is grasped as a method invention for correcting the difficulty level of a plurality of game data used in a game system, the method of the present invention includes the following first to third steps in the embodiment described above. This means that it is executed on a computer. First, in the first step, after the game computer (the computer constituting the execution processing unit 56 in FIG. 2) executes the game data, questions regarding the difficulty level are presented to the player (this step is mainly shown in FIG. 2). (The difficulty question part 58 carries out). In the second step, the player's answers to the questions are totaled for each of a plurality of game data and stored in the storage unit (this step is mainly performed by the response total storage unit 11 of FIG. 2). In the third step, the suitability of the difficulty level given to each of the plurality of game data is re-evaluated based on the total result stored in the storage unit obtained in the second step, and the difficulty level is changed. Data indicating the difficulty level is changed with respect to the game data for which the evaluation result indicating that it is necessary (this step is mainly performed by the difficulty level changing unit 13 in FIG. 2).

  In the second step, the answer is multiplied by a weighting factor determined based on information about which play skill level of the plurality of play skill levels determined in advance (the weighting is applied). The correction responses may be created by making corrections and the correction responses may be aggregated.

  If the technical level of the player is not taken into consideration, in the second step, the cumulative value when a predetermined number of answers are obtained for each of the plurality of game data exceeds the predetermined upper limit value. The difficulty level of the game data is increased by at least one rank, the difficulty level of the game data whose cumulative value is smaller than the predetermined lower limit value is decreased by at least one rank, and the cumulative value is between the predetermined upper limit value and lower limit value What is necessary is just to use maintaining the difficulty level of a certain game data as it is as a re-evaluation standard of the suitability of difficulty level.

  Further, in the third step, the re-evaluation may be performed when a predetermined number of answers are collected for each game data or when a predetermined period has elapsed.

  Further, when the present invention is grasped as a game data difficulty level correction program for causing a computer to execute correction of difficulty levels of a plurality of game data used in a game system, the embodiment of the invention of this program is shown in FIGS. A program having the algorithm shown in FIG. 8 is configured to execute the first to third steps of the above-described method by a computer. Needless to say, the game data difficulty level correction program may be stored in a computer-readable storage medium.

  The question regarding the difficulty level, which is questioned by the difficulty level question unit 58, is not limited to the example of the above embodiment. For example, the difficulty level question unit 58 may present a question to the player that causes the player to select the level of difficulty of the game data played. Specifically, for example, for a song with a difficulty level of LV = 21, ask the question “Which of the following levels is appropriate for the level of the song you played? “LV = 20, LV = 21, LV = 22” may be presented. In this case, when the player's answer to the question indicates a difficulty level higher than the current difficulty level (when LV = 22 is selected) for the plurality of game data, the answer total storage unit 11 sets “+ n (Where n is a positive number), when the difficulty level is the same as the current difficulty level (when LV = 21 is selected), “0”, when the difficulty level is lower than the current difficulty level ( When LV = 20 is selected, “−m” (where m is a positive number) may be given as an evaluation point.

  In the above embodiment, the play technology level information storage unit 57 is provided on the game terminal 5 side, but it is needless to say that the play technology level information storage unit may be provided on the center server 1 side. In this case, the answer tabulation storage unit 11 acquires play technique level information necessary for tabulation from the play technique level information storage unit provided in the center server 1.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the game system which can change a difficulty level more appropriately than before, and the difficulty correction method of game data, and game data are reflected in the change of a difficulty level by reflecting the opinion of the player who played. A difficulty level correction program can be provided.
