Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game device, a game processing method, a recording medium, and a program.
The present invention relates to a game device, a game processing method, a recording medium, and a program for executing a computer game for causing a plurality of characters to race.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a computer game in which a plurality of characters make a race, for example, in a boat race game in which a player operates a boat race (character) to perform a boat race (race), a race starting method is used. Similar to the actual boat race, so-called rolling
I used the start method. Here, the rolling start method is to start the boat while running.

FIG. 8 illustrates a rolling start method using a conventional boat race game as an example. In FIG. 8, reference numeral 500 denotes the above-mentioned predetermined start line, 509 denotes the above-mentioned predetermined approach start position, 502, 504, 506 and 508 denote the boat character, and 501 denotes the above-mentioned clock.

As shown in FIG. 8, a boat character 50
The race is started from the run start position 509 at 2 etc., and the race is started when the hand of the clock 501 points to the position of 0 second. For the boat character 502 etc., the hands of the clock 501 are 0
If the vehicle does not pass through the start line 500 between one second and one second, it is a foul (delay). On the other hand, if the hand of the clock 501 passes through the start line 500 before pointing to 0 second, the flying is started.

[0005] In a real car racing game in which a plurality of cars race, a rolling start method may be used. In this case, all the cars are grouped together to run the circuit for one lap, and the circuit is started when the flag is swung. If one car is traveling too fast in the group, the rolling start is restarted for all cars. Computer using rolling start method
In the car racing game of the game, the player cannot participate in the rolling start at all, but merely sees the image of all cars performing the rolling start. In any case, in the car racing game using the rolling start method, there is no concept that only one boat is flying unlike the boat racing game.

On the other hand, in a real car racing game, a so-called standing start method is often used in addition to the rolling start method. Here, the standing start method is to stop the car and start it all together with a predetermined signal.

FIG. 9 illustrates a standing start method using a conventional actual car race as an example. In FIG.
Reference numerals 510, 512, 514 and 516 denote automobiles,
00 is a start line, and 518 is a flag for giving the above-mentioned predetermined signal.

As shown in FIG. 9, a car 510 or the like is stopped at each stop position, and the race is started at the moment when the flag 518 is swung. Flag 518
The car that has moved from the stop position before the is shaken has performed a flying start. In other words, in a car race using the standing start method,
In some cases, such as a boat race game, only one car is flying.
