DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0017]
FIG. 1 shows an example of a game screen 80 according to this embodiment. In the embodiment, the following description will be made on the assumption that player A and player B are competing.
[0018]
In this game, the player selects an arbitrary character from a plurality of characters registered in advance in the computer program, and plays a janken match through the character. In the figure, 51 is the character selected by the player A, 52 is the character selected by the player B, 61 to 63 are icons displaying the type of janken selected by the player A, and 64 to 66 are the type of janken selected by the player B. An icon to be displayed, 71 is a meter for displaying the damage received when the player A loses with janken, and 72 is a meter for displaying the damage received when the player B loses with janken.
[0019]
Each character is preset with a janken type that can give more damage when winning the opponent, according to its personality. In the present specification, for convenience of explanation, such a janken type is referred to as a “specific janken type”. For example, the specific janken type of the character 51 is set to “par”, and the specific janken type of the character 52 is set to “go”. Accordingly, the icons 61 to 66 not only display the type of janken, but also change the display mode to reflect the individuality of the characters 51 and 52. In the example shown in the figure, since the specific janken type of the character 51 is “Par”, the icon 63 is displayed larger than the icons 61 and 62. Further, since the specific janken type of the character 52 is “Goo”, the icon 64 is displayed larger than the icons 65 and 66.
[0020]
Thus, by changing the display mode of the icon according to the specific janken type, the players can grasp the specific janken type of the opponent and can enjoy the janken game through bargaining. For example, since the specific janken type of the character 51 is “par”, the player B expects that the player A will give more “par” than the other janken types, and gives more “choke”. In view of this, player A also thinks that player B will make more predictions and give more “choke”, so that he will go back and give “goo”. Thus, by devising the specific janken types so that they can recognize each other, janken can be more enjoyed through bargaining.
[0021]
In the present embodiment, in addition to the above configuration, an attack option can be set for janken. The “attack option” is an arbitrary parameter for giving a larger damage to the opponent. For example, when the player A sets the attack option to “choki”, the player A “choke” to the player B. If the player wins, the player B can be given more damage than the player who won under the condition where the attack parameter is not set, or other additional effects can be given. Additional effects include, for example, increasing the amount of increase / decrease of the meters 71, 72, changing other game parameters different from the meters 71, 72 temporarily or permanently, or restoring physical strength And changes the parameters of allies and so on.
[0022]
FIG. 2 is a main functional block diagram of a game apparatus that executes the game on a computer system. The game device includes a RAM 10, a controller 20, a CPU 30, a display 40, and a card interface 50.
[0023]
The RAM 10 functions as a storage means for storing an operation system 11 and a computer program 12 necessary for executing this game, and temporarily stores various game parameters at a predetermined memory address or stores player input data. A work area 17 for buffering is set. In the work area 17, attack option setting information 13 and janken type selection information 14 are written as input data of the player who manually operates the controller 20 having various input keys, and represents the damage amount of the player. A variable parameter value (damage value) 15 and character setting information 16 representing a specific janken type of the character are written. Here, the computer program 12 is read from a ROM (not shown) and loaded into the RAM 10 when the system is started.
[0024]
The attack option setting information 13 is information relating to an attack option set by selection of the player, and indicates which player has set which attack option for which janken type. The janken type selection information 14 is information that is buffered in the RAM 10 based on an operation signal from the controller 20 as to which janken type the player has selected in the janken match. Data corresponding to any of “,” “Cho”, and “Par” is written. In the character setting information 16, setting information of a specific janken type is registered in a table format for each character.
[0025]
A card interface 50 is provided as an external interface of the CPU 30. The character setting information is read from the magnetic card 61 on which the character setting information 16 is recorded and written to a predetermined address in the work area 17, and the attack option setting information 13 is also displayed. It functions as a reading unit that reads attack option setting information from the recorded magnetic card 62 and writes it to a predetermined address in the work area 17. These magnetic cards 61 and 62 can be purchased at a game center or the like. By collecting a plurality of types of these magnetic cards 61 and 62, the player can appropriately set an attack option according to the opponent.
[0026]
Here, the medium for recording the character setting information 16 and the attack option setting information 13 is not limited to a magnetic card, but an optical recording medium (CD-RAM, CD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, A recording medium such as a PD disk, an MD disk, or an MO disk that can optically read data) or a memory medium (such as a semiconductor memory element such as a DRAM) may be used.
[0027]
The CPU 30 is a game processing means that operates on the operation system 11. More specifically, the attack option setting information 13, the janken type selection information 14, the damage value 15, the character setting information 16 and the like written in the work area 17 are appropriately stored. It functions as a superiority / inferiority determining means 31 that performs janken's superiority / inferiority determination processing in accordance with various commands and the like described in the computer program 12, a damage calculating means 32 that calculates a damage value, and an image generating means 33 that generates a game screen. Each of these means is not necessarily realized by a single CPU. For example, the function of the image generation means 33 may be realized by a video processor dedicated to image processing. The superiority / inferiority judging means 31 reads the janken type selection information 14 and decides victory or defeat according to a predetermined relative superiority / inferiority relationship. As is well known, this superiority and inferiority relationship, “Goo” is relatively higher than “Cho”, “Cho” is relatively higher than “Par”, and “Par” is It is relatively higher than “Goo”.
[0028]
The damage calculation means 32 calculates the amount of damage received by the player losing the janken from the attack option setting registered in the attack option setting information 13 and the specific junken type registered in the character setting information 16, The value of the damage value 15 in the area 17 is updated. When the damage value 15 exceeds a predetermined value, the game is over. The image generation means 33 generates an image for displaying the icon corresponding to the specific janken type separately from other icons from the information registered in the character setting information 16, and reflects the game win / loss, change in damage amount, and the like. The image data of the game screen is generated.
[0029]
In this case, in the above description, the size of the icon display is changed so that the players can recognize the specific janken type, but the visual display distinction is designed in such a manner that the specific janken type can be mutually recognized. For example, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, an icon for displaying a specific janken type is displayed in a different color from other icons, or an icon (for example, “ An icon that displays the shape of a "par" may be displayed in correspondence with the characters 51 and 52, and further, image data is generated so as to display symbols, characters, pictures, etc. that can recognize a specific janken type. May be. The image data generated in this way is transferred to a display 40 as an image display means, and an image is displayed as a game screen.
[0030]
Although the above description has been given taking janken as an example, the present invention is not limited to this, and the selection targets selected by the player from a plurality of selection targets for which a relative superiority or inferiority relationship is determined in advance. The present invention can be applied to various games that perform superiority or inferiority determination according to superiority or inferiority relationships. For example, in a fighting game, there are four magic spells used in a game in which superiority or inferiority of three types of techniques is determined in advance, such as “blow technique> throw technique> defense (> blow technique)”, or a role playing game. It can be used for a game in which the superiority and inferiority relationship is cyclically determined as “magic 1> magic 2> magic 3> magic 4 (> magic 1)”. That is, according to the present invention, the superiority or inferiority relationship of the N selection elements S1, S2,..., SN is cyclically determined as “S1>S2>...> SN (> S1)”. By selecting a selection element, it can be applied to any type of game in which the game is advanced by a superiority or inferiority relationship between the selection elements (N is a natural number of 3 or more).
[0031]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, since the specific selection target set so that the fluctuation range of the parameter value is different from the other selection targets is displayed so as to be visually distinguishable from the other selection targets, You can make the game more interesting through the game.
