Description

  The present invention relates to a battle game control technology for performing a virtual team battle between a plurality of game devices.

Patent Document 1 describes a baseball game in which a momentum parameter value is set for a team or a character. That is, in a game such as baseball or soccer in the real world, there are a play that draws the flow of the game to a friend or a play that stops the flow of the game. And even if you are defeated by the opponent in the score, if the game is on your side, you are mentally chasing the opponent, increasing the possibility of being able to reverse. Therefore, it is desired that such a game flow (momentum) can be virtually simulated even in a ball game such as baseball. By doing in this way, the flow of the game which continues from the last game will be considered in a new game, and the virtual reality felt by the player can be further improved.

  However, in Patent Document 1, at the start of the next competitive game, any of six positive and negative momentum parameters prepared as a table in advance obtained from the result of the previous competitive game is merely set as an initial value. Absent. In other words, depending on the contents of the three types of defeat, whether it was a loss of one point in the previous game, whether it was lost in the previous game, whether it was lost in the guardian defeat, The corresponding negative points are prepared as momentum parameters on the side, and the positive points are prepared on the winner side. Therefore, when the above condition is not satisfied, the momentum parameter is not reflected in the next game, and the momentum parameter is set to be set only under a specific condition. In addition, since the momentum parameter is determined only by the factor of winning and losing, it cannot be said that the momentum is considered sufficiently, and has a certain limit.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above, and various events (game situations) that influence the flow of the game during the battle are integrated as team flow parameters, and the flow parameters of both teams in the new battle are further integrated. By setting the initial values as apportioned values, a battle game program, a game device, and a battle game control method that have a higher sense of presence and are more interesting are provided.

Moreover, the control part 300 may be provided with the last appearance judgment part 310 which judges whether the player character who participates in this game participated in the last game as a modification example.

  Further, the control unit 300 creates an action setting unit 311 that creates pitching data when the pitcher character pitches or batting data when the batter swings based on the contents received by the receiving unit 303, and another game device AGM. Exchange of pitching data or batting data with the network monitor, and transmission / reception of data necessary for the center monitor CM via the communication unit 130, and exchange of data with the server 400 as necessary The batting result setting unit 313 for determining the batting result based on the data received from the communication processing unit 312, the action setting unit 311 and the other game device AGM, the content determined by the batting result setting unit 313, and the operation unit 10 </ b> A Use the pitcher parameters when the input character is the pitcher and the fielder parameter when the batter is the batter. Te, or without the input operation, and a unit sequence executing section 314 controls one of the sequence to be executed, respectively.

  The image display control unit 302 virtually displays necessary images according to the progress of the game, for example, baseball stadium, attacking side, and defensive player characters (at least a pitcher character and batter character), a ball character, a bat character, and a strike zone, which will be described later. The monitor 3 displays an area image, a pitching position, which will be described later, and an image representing a swing position, which are generated as a result of specifying the position, which are described later.

  In the present embodiment, a self-character (a pitcher character in the case of a defensive sequence, a batter character in a case of an attacking side), which is given an action instruction from a player who is a player who operates the game device, an opponent player The opponent character (becomes a batter character or a pitcher character on the side that faces the self-character) who receives an instruction from (another game device) confronts the player in a one-batt position (hereinafter referred to as 1). This sequence is executed for a total of 27 times for 3 out counts and 9 innings (sequentially) according to the baseball rules, so that the final score is somewhat superior, that is, the game results are competed. A baseball game is assumed. However, in this embodiment, what is executed on the game is such that the game progresses in a one-ball confrontation for one batter.

  A pitcher character, a batter character, other player characters and a background image simulating a baseball field, if necessary, are made up of a required number of polygons constituting the background so that three-dimensional drawing is possible. 3021 (FIG. 5) performs calculation for conversion from a position in the three-dimensional space to a position in the pseudo three-dimensional space, a light source calculation process, and the like based on a drawing instruction from the image display control unit 302. Based on the calculation result, a process of writing image data to be drawn on the video RAM 31, for example, a process of writing (pasting) texture data to an area of the video RAM 31 designated by a polygon is performed.

  Here, the relationship between the operation of the image display control unit 302 and the operation of the drawing processing unit 3021 will be described. The image display control unit 302 reads image data, control program data, and game program data from the ROM 330 based on an operating system (OS) recorded in the ROM 330. Part or all of the read image data and control program data is held on the RAM 340. Thereafter, the image display control unit 302 includes a drawing processing portion of the control program stored in the RAM 340, various data (image data and audio data including other character images such as polygons and textures of display objects), and detection. The image display process proceeds based on the detection signal from the unit. That is, the image display control unit 302 appropriately generates a command as a task for drawing or sound output based on the progress of the game. The drawing processing unit 3021 calculates the viewpoint position, calculates the position of the character in the three-dimensional space (of course, the same in the two-dimensional space) with respect to the viewpoint position, calculates the light source, etc. Generate and process data. Subsequently, based on the calculation result, the image data to be drawn in the video RAM 31 is written. The image data written in the video RAM 31 is supplied to the monitor 3 (after being supplied to the D / A converter via the interface and converted into an analog video signal), and displayed as an image on the tube surface. Similarly, audio data and sound effect data are also output from the ROM 330 via the RAM 340 (after being supplied to the D / A converter via the interface and converted into an analog audio signal and then via the amplifier), the speakers 41 and 42. Is output as audio.

  The drawing command includes a drawing command for drawing a stereoscopic image using a polygon and a drawing command for drawing a normal two-dimensional image. Here, the polygon is a polygonal two-dimensional image, and in this embodiment, a triangle or a quadrangle is used. The drawing command for drawing a stereoscopic image using polygons is polygon vertex address data read from the ROM 330, texture address data indicating the storage position of texture data to be pasted on the polygon, and color indicating the color of the texture data. It consists of color palette address data indicating the storage position of the palette data and luminance data indicating the luminance of the texture. One character (or object) is composed of a large number of polygons. The image display control unit 302 stores the coordinate data of each polygon in the three-dimensional space in the RAM 340. And when moving a character etc. on the screen of the monitor 3, the following processes are performed.

  The image display control unit 302 sequentially moves and rotates each polygon based on the three-dimensional coordinate data of the vertices of each polygon temporarily stored in the RAM 340 and the movement amount data and rotation amount data of each polygon. Later 3D coordinate data is obtained. Of the three-dimensional coordinate data of each polygon thus obtained, the coordinate data in the horizontal and vertical directions are supplied to the drawing processing unit 3021 as address data on the display area of the RAM 340, that is, polygon vertex address data. . The drawing processing unit 3021 writes the texture data indicated by the pre-assigned texture address data on the triangular or quadrangular display area indicated by the three or four polygon vertex address data. As a result, a character (or object) in which texture data is pasted on a large number of polygons is displayed on the display surface of the monitor 3.

  The accepting unit 303 accepts pressing information by the player from the operation unit 10 </ b> A, that is, the player card placement position information by the player operation from the imaging unit 11, and player identification data on the back side of the player card 9. is there. As the reception process from the imaging unit 11, there is a process of reading information and position of a player card 9 (game participation member, replacement member, etc.) placed along with the start of the battle game.

  In the ROM 330, as a part of the basic data, a plurality of operation items at the time of the battle are set to be selectable. As the operation items, in this embodiment, there are “signature”, “substitution / running”, “course instruction”, and “skip” when none is selected. As shown in FIG. 12, each item is displayed in the form of a button.

  For the “sign” item, details such as “theft alert”, “endrun alert”, “bunt shift”, “getz shift”, “long hit shift” are prepared for the defensive side. Details such as “Bunt”, “Feed Bunt”, “Hit & Run”, “Stolen (Stolen)”, “Two Thieves”, “Three Thieves”, “Squeeze” are prepared. When the “sign” item is selected, the details of these details are displayed on the screen in the form of buttons. It should be noted that other details may be adopted and added. The “substitution / substitution” item is executed by placing a new player card 9 to be replaced on the placement surface portion 20 on which the player card 9 to be replaced is placed. When the player card 9 is exchanged, the player parameter corresponding to the player identification data newly read by the imaging unit 11 is read from the ROM 330 and used for the game. The “course instruction” item enables a pitching position instruction operation when the player is the pitcher side, and enables a swing position instruction operation when the player is the batter side.

  The position designation operation is performed in a predetermined shape, typically a quadrangular region image (hereinafter, referred to as a strike zone image SZ for convenience, for convenience) on the home base, for example, virtually indicating a strike zone in the game space. The image display control unit 302 preferably displays the desired position in the strike zone image SZ by pressing the touch panel 10 that is superimposed on the monitor 3. Is called.

  In the registration mode, the registration processing unit 304 displays a list of player characters in the character data storage unit 332 on the monitor 3 and registers a desired number of player characters as members of the own team using the touch panel 10 as a required number. And a process of registering the player card 9 as a member of the own team by using the imaging unit 11 by placing the player card 9 that is newly obtained and placing the player card 9 desired to be registered on the desired placement surface portion 20. Is to execute. By performing such processing, the number of members of the own team can be increased to the capacity. In addition, the registration processing unit 304 sets a player character that participates in the game from the player card 9 placed on the placement surface unit 20 as a participating player character in accordance with an instruction of the “starting / substituting” item in the game start or during the game. To register.

  The setting unit 305 is executed when the “course instruction” button is pressed in FIG. 12, and the player presses the strike zone image SZ shown in FIG. Determine the operating position. That is, the position designation when the player is the defensive side is an instruction of the passing position of the ball character in the strike zone image SZ, and the designated position when the player is the attack side is the bat that the batter character swings in the strike zone image SZ. This is an instruction of the passing position of the simulated bat character, that is, the swing position. The image display control unit 302, with respect to the slick zone image SZ, a pitch position mark MG1 for designating a pitch position designated by the defensive player, and a swing for designating the batting position designated by the attacking player. The position mark MG2 is displayed.

  Similarly, other game devices operated by the opponent player perform position designation operations on the strike zone image SZ, and the designated position data is received via the communication unit 130 as will be described later. Thus, the setting unit 305 displays on the monitor 3 a pitch position mark MG1 and a swing position mark MG2 corresponding to both players. The image display control unit 302 predicts the opponent's designated position by displaying the position mark from the opponent side after the position instruction by the player is finished (determined) (reads the opponent's hand). ) Playing the game effectively. The throwing position and swing position marks MG1 and MG2 may have a single circle, but in this embodiment, a double circle is used as shown in FIG.

  The setting unit 305 sets the pitch of the pitch position and the swing position marks MG1 and MG2, respectively, using the following parameters (ability values). As parameters, for the pitcher, elements related to ball power such as “ball speed”, “intimidation”, “left batter correction”, and “ball elongation” with respect to the radius of the center point are “ Elements related to ball control, such as “control”, “four balls”, “dangerous throwing rate”, and “quick”, are selected from the pitcher parameters and used. Regarding the batter, the “power”, “ballistic”, “intimidation”, “power hitter”, “goodbye”, “adversity”, “hard hit”, “tackle”, “fourth batter” with respect to the radius of the center point The power-related elements such as “meet”, “versus left pitcher meat”, “chance”, “flow-off”, “wide-angle batting”, “infield hitting”, “bunt” Elements related to meat such as “full ball”, “first ball”, “continuous hit”, “stickiness” are selected from fielder parameters and used. Of course, elements (parameters) other than the above parameters may be adopted or added. At this time, the flow parameter of the team to which the player belongs is reflected on all or some of the important parameters of each player, and specifically acts as a coefficient or addition / subtraction.

  In the throwing position mark MG1, the radius of the center point decreases as the sum of the parameter values of the elements related to the ball power increases, and the radius of the outer ring decreases as the sum of the parameter values of the elements related to the ball control force increases. In the position mark MG2, the radius of the center point increases as the sum of the parameter values of the elements related to power increases, and the radius of the outer peripheral ring increases as the sum of the parameter values of the elements related to meat increases. As a result, the higher the ability on the pitcher side, the smaller the pitching position mark MG1 is, so that it is less likely to overlap with the batter's swing position (advantageous to the pitcher side). MG2 is large so that it easily overlaps the pitcher's pitching position (advantageous to the batter side).

  The center points of the position marks MG1 and MG2 and the radius of each of the outer ring are set when the player identification data of the player card 9 is received via the communication unit 130 at the start of the game or when the opponent character is changed. Therefore, the player parameters corresponding to the player identification data are called from the ROM 330 and used. The radius of the center point of the position marks MG1 and MG2 and the radius of the outer ring influence the degree of overlap between the position marks MG1 and MG2. That is, when the position marks MG1 and MG2 do not overlap at all, only the outer peripheral rings overlap, one central point and the other outer peripheral ring overlap, and the central points may overlap each other. The degree is reflected in the hit result. As an example, when the position marks MG1 and MG2 do not overlap at all, the swinging is performed. When only the outer peripheral rings overlap each other and when one central point overlaps the other outer peripheral ring, the hit processing is performed by sequentially setting a difference in hit probability. When the center points overlap each other, it is determined that the hit is a hit and the process of determining whether or not the hit is a long hit is executed according to the overlapping rate.

  Each time an event occurs during the game, the determination unit 306 compares the generated event with the content of the event stored in the event storage unit 333 and determines whether there is a match. . The flow parameter accumulation unit 307 accumulates the flow parameter according to Table 1 to the immediately preceding value when the event is generated every time the event occurs, and updates to the flow parameter storage unit 341. To remember. When the own team raises an event, the value of the flow parameter installed on the raising side is added to the previous value. The value of is added to the value until just before. The ability setting unit 308 reflects the current flow parameter stored in the flow parameter storage unit 341 in the player parameter of the player character participating in the game, and transmits it to the setting unit 305.

  The initial setting unit 309 causes a flow parameter set based on the immediately preceding game at the start of the game to be written in the flow parameter storage unit 341 as an initial value. For example, when team A and team B play a battle game this time, team A has a flow parameter α (0 to 100) at the end of the battle with team C, while team B If the flow parameter at the end of the match with the previous D team is β (0-100), the initial value of the flow parameter is set to 100 × α / (α + β) for the A team, For Team B, 100 × β / (α + β) 2 is set. Specifically, when α is “80” and β is “10”, “89” is set for the A team and “11” is set for the B team as initial values.

  Moreover, in the aspect (this embodiment) in which the flow parameter is set in the range of −100 to +100, for example, initial values for both teams are calculated as follows. Assuming that the immediately preceding flow parameter is α (−100 to +100) for Team A, and that the immediately preceding flow parameter is β (−100 to +100) for Team B, the initial value of the flow parameter is Considering Team A, first, 100 is added to the flow parameter to make it a positive value, and the value is halved to replace it with a value of 0 to 100. Proportionally apportion the replaced value. Subtract 50 from the proportionally distributed ratio value. Next, it is doubled to return to −100 to +200.

  In terms of the formula, looking at Team A, the flow parameter is replaced with a value of 0 to 100 by (α + 100) / 2. Next, when A = (α + 100) / 2 and B = (β + 100) / 2, the proportional prorated value is obtained by 100 × A / (A + B). Next, as [{100 × A / (A + B)} − 50], the A and B values are obtained as distances when viewed from the value 0. Then, this value is doubled and returned as a value within the range of −100 to +100. Therefore, the initial value α ′ of the A team is 2 × [{100 × A / (A + B)} − 50], and the initial value β ′ of the B team is 2 × [{100 × B / (A + B)} −. 50].

  The ability setting unit 308 causes the flow parameter to act as a coefficient (ratioally) on the player parameter of the player character. For example, when the flow parameter is in the positive value range, the player parameter is reflected in the increasing direction, and when the flow parameter is in the negative value range, the player parameter is reflected in the decreasing direction. As an example, if the flow parameter is a value of 0, the player parameter is multiplied by a factor of 1, and if the flow parameter is +100 (maximum value), the player parameter is multiplied by a factor of k (positive value, eg, value of 2). The If the flow parameter is −100 (minimum value), the coefficient 1 / k is multiplied by the player parameter. And during that time, it may be reflected in proportionate distribution. In addition, you may make it act as an addition / subtraction value by making the magnitude | size of a flow parameter correspond with a player parameter.

  Moreover, the last appearance determination part 310 is a component used in other embodiment, The function is mentioned later.

  The action setting unit 311 transmits information to the opponent game device AGM, that is, information necessary for determining the hitting result from the input operation information from the operation unit 10A, some of the player parameters, and the team flow parameters. Create data. Here, among the information input from the operation unit 10A, the card placement position information from the imaging unit 11 is set corresponding to a plurality of levels with respect to the action mode of the player character.

  This set level is a (throwing power) level when a pitcher performs throwing with full power or saving, and a batter is a (swing power) level of power for swinging a bat. That is, as a set level, in the case of a pitcher, the ball speed is further increased toward the full throwing side according to the shift length from the center position of the player card 9 to the front side, while the meet rate is lowered and the stamina is reduced. The amount of wear is increased and the ball speed is further saved (decreased) according to the shift length to the rear side, while the meat rate is increased and the amount of stamina consumed is reduced. The amount of stamina consumed is controlled in advance, and is assumed to increase during that time, assuming that the attacker is on the bench. In the case of a pitcher, the pitcher decreases by a preset amount depending on the pitch power.

  In the case of a batter, the power is increased and the bat is vibrated according to the shift length from the center position of the player card 9 to the front side, while the meat rate value is further decreased to the rear shift length. Correspondingly, the power will be saved more and the bat will no longer vibrate, while the meat rate will be increased. The increase or decrease in power in the case of a batter is reflected in the flying distance and speed of the hit ball, and is reflected in the trajectory of the hit ball, that is, the vertical angle of the hit ball. If the hit distance of the hit ball is long, the speed is high, and the trajectory of the hit ball, that is, the angle in the vertical direction of the hit ball is preferable, it can be said that the probability of hit becomes high as in the actual battle.

  In addition, when the “sign” button is selected in FIG. 12 and any detail is selected on the defensive side or the attacking side, the behavior setting unit 311 receives the selection content on the receiving unit 303. Then, the selection content is confirmed as the result of the selection selection. It is to be noted that the result of selection selection is obtained by simulating actual baseball (that is, according to the baseball rule control program) by a unit sequence execution unit 314, which will be described later. It is reflected in the change process.

  In the present embodiment, the action setting unit 311 includes “release timing”, “ball type”, “selected pitch item”, “throwing position”, “setting level (full power to “Save)” and “swing timing”, “selected item to be selected”, “swing position”, and “setting level (strong vibration to meet)” are generated. In the pitch data, “Release timing” is set as the amount of deviation from “Release” (best release timing) in the pitcher parameter, and “Ball type” is the setting information and setting from various changing balls in the pitcher parameter The “throwing position” and “swing position” are set in consideration of the level. When the “course instruction” button is not selected on the screen of FIG. 12, the CPU (control unit 300) is based on both the pitcher and batter parameters. ). The “swing timing” of the hit data is set as a deviation amount with respect to the “swing timing” (best swing timing) in the fielder parameter. If the accepting unit 303 or the action setting unit 311 determines that all items other than the “course instruction” have not been selected within the predetermined accepting period, each action setting unit 311 owns each game device. The team flow parameters are reflected in the new ability value obtained by converting the ability values of the pitcher parameter and batter parameter converted into converted values, and the result is sent to the opponent game device as operation data. .

  The communication processing unit 312 transmits predetermined information set by the registration processing unit 304 and the action setting unit 311 to the other game device based on selection and instruction content from the operation unit 10A. The communication processing unit 312 includes a buffer on the transmission / reception data transfer unit, or at least on the reception side, and the transmission / reception data is transmitted via the transmission and reception buffers. In this way, each game device can have the same information by receiving data from the other game device.

  The batting result setting unit 313 determines the batting result. In the present embodiment, the batting result setting unit 313 sets the batting result by a method different from that in the case where the “course instruction” button is selected. That is, when the “course instruction” button is not selected, for example, the probability that the batter character hits the hit is calculated from the pitcher parameter, the batter parameter, and the data exchanged with each other using a predetermined arithmetic expression, In addition, depending on the probability, the swinging strike is made, and the trajectory (strike strength) when hitting the bat character is determined.

  On the other hand, when the “course instruction” button is selected, hitting determination processing corresponding to “course instruction” is performed by the batting result setting unit 313. As described above, the hitting determination process is performed by determining based on the overlapping degree of the position marks MG1 and MG2.

  The game progress processing unit 301 has a game management function for managing the game situation, and exchanges player parameters of each player card 9 used at the start of the game, and exchanges player parameters of the player when the player character is changed. Furthermore, the number of executions of the sequence, that is, the number of innings, the number of outcounts, the scoring status, the status of all batters, the pitcher, the status of the runner, etc. are managed for baseball.

  The unit sequence execution unit 314 sequentially moves the pitcher character, fielder character, batter character, runner character motion, and ball character motion simulating the ball from pitching by the pitcher to batting, and a series of actions according to the batting result. The calculation results are sequentially guided to the image display control unit 302 one by one.

  The unit sequence execution unit 314 includes a preprocessing unit 3141 and a subsequent processing unit 3142. The pre-processing unit 3141 obtains a processing result before the pitching action of the ball character by the pitcher character displayed on the monitor 3 using the determination contents in the action setting unit 311 and the parameters used at that time. When you are on the pitcher side, the pitch position, ball speed (using the “ball speed” and “release” data in the pitcher parameters, etc.), the ball type, the trajectory of the pitched ball, and the passing position on the home base When the player is on the batter side, the bat swing trajectory, the result of whether or not to hit the bat, and the result of hitting the bat, the “hitting speed” and “hitting angle” at the moment of hitting the bat ”And“ hitting velocity attenuation rate ”parameters are calculated. Of each calculation, the trajectory calculation of the pitched ball character and bat swing may be based on general dynamics and air resistance, or the game processing is performed using simulation calculations that are close to the actual motion. It may be obtained by processing at a speed required for the above.

  The subsequent processing unit 3142 is a process for the action to be performed after the pitching action, and causes the fielder character to perform a natural defense action from the movement of the ball character or the runner character on the monitor 3, and from the movement of the ball character or the fielder character. The runner character is caused to perform a natural scolding motion (the above is based on a control program according to the baseball rules), and a calculation is performed to move the ball character based on the hit data with the bat character. Further, the subsequent processing unit 3142 determines the “hit speed”, “hit ball” obtained by the pre-processing unit 3141 according to the deviation amount between the passing position of the ball character on the home base and the swing position of the bat character, and the timing deviation amount between them. Using the parameters of “angle” and “hitting speed attenuation rate”, the hitting speed and hitting angle after hitting are calculated.

  The subsequent processing unit 3142 repeatedly executes the above calculation at a predetermined cycle, and directs the result to the image display control unit 302, so that the ball character, the pitcher character, the batter character, the fielder character, and the runner character are displayed on the monitor 3. The movement is displayed as a moving image to realize more realistic sequence processing.

  FIG. 12 is an example of a game image at the start of a sequence when the player is on the batter side, FIG. 13 is an example of a game image of a pitching scene when the player is on the pitcher side, and FIG. It is an example of a game image when it is “out”. As shown in these figures, on the screen of the monitor 3, in addition to the display of the game image, the opponent (team names A and B) and the contents (scores, innings, etc.) relating to the game progress are displayed on the upper side of the screen. On the left and right sides, the team members are displayed. In FIG. 13, a strike zone image SZ, a throwing position mark MG1, and a swing position mark MG2 are displayed. As shown in FIGS. 13 and 124, the image display control unit 302 displays a flow mark F indicating the team flow at an appropriate position corresponding to the display position of each team member table on the monitor 3 screen. .

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the overall flow of the game executed in accordance with the program stored in the ROM 330. First, whether or not a coin has been inserted is detected by the coin sensor 81, and personal authentication processing is performed from the personal card (step S1). Next, an opponent determination process is executed by a predetermined method, for example, a first-come-first-served basis (step S3). When the opponent is determined, initial setting of predetermined information is executed (step S5). As an example of the initial setting content, there is an initial value of a flow parameter set between the own team and the opponent team operated by the opponent game device AGM.

  Then, it is detected by the imaging unit 11 whether or not the required number (10 in this case) of the player cards 9 has been placed on the placement surface unit 20, and the player identification data of each player card 9 is read (step S7). Subsequently, the game is started, the data is exchanged with the opponent, and then the process proceeds to one sequence execution process in which a confrontation with one batter character is performed (step S9). Each time this sequence is finished, it is determined whether or not the game is over (step S11). When there is a remaining outcount or a remaining inning, a sequence for performing a battle with the next batter character is set (step S11). S13), the process returns to step S3. If the game is ended in step S7, after the game end process (step S15), for example, superiority or inferiority (win / lose) is presented on the monitor 3, an instruction to issue only one new player card 9 is issued, And the game end signal which shows completion | finish of a competitive game is transmitted to the server 400, and this flow is complete | finished.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the procedure of “sequence execution processing” shown in step S9 of FIG. 7 that is executed in accordance with the program stored in the ROM 330. First, data relating to the pitching and striking process (work) executed in the immediately preceding sequence is initialized (step S21), and then it is determined whether or not the aircraft is the attacking side (step S21). S23). If the player's own machine is the attacking side, hitting data that is data to be sent to the opponent's game device is generated, and the hitting data is sent to the opponent's game device AGM (step S25). The pitch data transmitted from the opponent game device AGM is received (step S27).

  In step S23, if the player is the defensive side, that is, the pitching side, pitching data that is data to be transmitted to the opponent game device AGM is generated, and the pitch data is transmitted to the opponent game device AGM. Is performed (step S29), and hit data transmitted from the opponent game device AGM is received (step S31).

  Thus, by exchanging data between the game devices, each game device has the same pitch data and batting data. In addition, by having the same data in both, there is no delay in the display of both images, and it is possible to provide a game environment in which both players do not feel uncomfortable and the player is free from communication.

  Next, the received pitch data is stored in the work area of the RAM 340 (step S33), and a hit result determination process by the hit result setting unit 313 is executed using the pitch data and the hit data (step S33).

  In step S33, the pitching trajectory calculation is executed using the pitching data, and then the “batting point” that is the passing position on the home base obtained by the pitching trajectory calculation is set (stored) in the work area. Subsequently, in accordance with the result obtained by the pitching trajectory calculation, an image of “throwing” which is a pitching operation and pitching process is displayed on the monitor 3 (step S35), and subsequently the hitting result obtained by the calculation is obtained. According to the swing timing, the hitting direction, and the hitting speed, an image of “batting” that is a hitting operation and hitting process is displayed on the monitor 3 (step S37). Here, it is determined whether or not it is “three strikes” (step S39) and whether or not it is “four dead balls” (step S41). If one of the determinations is affirmative, the process skips to step S45, and “three strikes” and “four dead balls”. If it is not any of the above, in response to the hitting result, the movement of the fielder character, the movement of the runner character, and the movement of the ball character are sequentially calculated and displayed as an image on the monitor 3 (step S43). Next, flow parameter variation processing is executed (step S47), and one sequence is completed.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the “flow parameter fluctuation process” shown in step S47 of FIG. 8, which is executed according to the program stored in the ROM 330. First, it is determined whether or not the play result, that is, the game situation is the same as the event stored in the event storage unit 333 (step S61).

  On the other hand, if the determination is affirmative, a flow parameter corresponding to the play result is acquired from Table 1 (step S63), and the flow parameter is added to the previous integrated value (step S65). Next, it is determined whether or not the flow parameter exceeds the limit value (step S67). If it does not exceed, the flow ends. If it exceeds, the correction to the limit value is performed so that the flow parameter does not exceed the limit value (step S69).

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a flow parameter initial value setting process which is a part of the procedure of the “initial setting process” shown in step S5 of FIG. First, the exchange of data such as player information between game devices operated by the players to be instructed is instructed (step S81), and the data of the own team is transmitted to the opponent game device (step S83). Team data is received (step S85). In this transmitted and received data, the current, that is, immediately preceding flow parameter value of each team is also included.

  Then, the initial value of the flow parameter is calculated by the initial setting unit 309 by the calculation method as described above (step S87), and the calculation result is written in the flow parameter storage unit 341 as the flow parameter initial value (step S89).

  The present invention can adopt the following aspects.

(1) In the present embodiment, the team flow parameter is reflected on all characters. However, the flow parameter may be applied only to the character that participated in the previous battle game. In this case, when the player character of the own team participating in the battle game is specified from the operation unit 10A via the reception unit 303, the player character is stored in the battle character storage unit 342 for each battle game, and next time In the new competitive game, the previous participation determination unit 110 determines whether or not the character of the own team that participates (start member, substitute, substitute run, relief, etc.) is the character that participated in the previous competitive game. In other words, the ability setting unit 308 may reflect the flow parameter of the own team in the ability parameter of the player character. This makes it possible to provide a more interesting game by selectively reflecting the flow parameters only for the player characters that have actually participated in the game that takes over the flow (immediately before).

(2) In this embodiment, a method of reflecting the overlapping degree of the position marks MG1, MG2 in the game result based on the player parameter is adopted, but the present invention is not limited to this, and within the player parameter of the player character If the battle result determination method is such that the magnitude of the various ability values of is reflected in the match result, that is, a player character with a high ability value is probabilistically advantageous over a player character with a low ability value, Regardless of the method.

(3) Although the present embodiment has been described with a game simulating baseball, the present invention is not limited to a baseball game, but between a self-side character and an opponent character displayed on a monitor (display). The game may be a battle game in which each other's offense and defense are performed as a team. For example, a battle game simulating soccer may be used. Furthermore, a team (group competition) game played without using a game medium such as a ball, and the battle itself is an individual. It can also be applied to a team battle game. Further, the game is not limited to a game played using a player card, and can also be applied to a normal battle game that can be performed by operating an operation button, an operation rod or the like.
