[0025]
Next, the contents of a mahjong game executed by the mahjong game machine 10 will be described.
(A) Game rules
A player plays a mahjong game in order with the five fighting characters (characters A to E), and if all the five fighting characters are won, the game becomes an ending, and an ending effect described later is provided. Note that, when the battle with the characters A to C is finished, if the likability described below is a predetermined condition, a second battle with the characters A to C is performed. In this case, each of the characters A to C will be played twice, and then the characters D and E will be battled, so that a total of eight battles will be played.
The player and the battle character have a predetermined score (for example, 10000 points) at the start of the battle, and if the score of the battle character becomes 0 or the player finishes 3 times, Victory. Conversely, the game is over when the score of the player reaches 0 due to the completion of the battle character or the like.
[0026]
(B) Favorability and normal performance
When a player wins a battle with a battle character, the player's preference for the player is set in three levels (large, medium, and small) according to the battle result. A normal production is performed accordingly. In this normal effect, the display device 13 displays how the battle character speaks various lines in accordance with the preference of the battle character.
[0027]
(C) Ending production
When all five battle characters are won, an ending effect is performed according to the battle results with the five battle characters. In this ending effect, an image showing a two-shot photograph of one of the five fighting characters and the player, or the five fighting characters, according to the above-mentioned favorability set for the five fighting characters. An image showing a group photo of all the players and the players is displayed on the display device 13.
[0028]
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a subroutine executed in the mahjong game machine 10. In this subroutine, when a predetermined coin is inserted into the coin insertion slot 18 by the player and the operation button 17f of the operation unit 15 is pressed, the mahjong that controls the mahjong game of the mahjong game machine 10 that is executed in advance. This subroutine is called and executed from the game machine control program.
[0029]
First, the CPU 31 performs a process related to a battle with the character A (step S10). When the processing of this step S10 is executed, the mahjong game proceeds in the above-described procedure, and after the 13 or 14 tiles that are the player's first tricks are dealt (after the deal has been done), the game Whether the player scored 0 points when the player or opponent character (Character A) finishes or until it is determined that they will not finish (becomes a master) This is repeated until the score of the battle character reaches 0 or until the player finishes three times.
Further, in the process of step S10, match result data including information related to the victory or defeat in the battle between the player and the battle character, the score obtained by the player, the number of times the battle character has been completed, and the like is stored in the RAM 34. .
[0030]
If the process of step S10 is executed, the CPU 31 next executes a first effect selection process (step S11). In the first effect selection process, it is determined whether or not the battle with the battle character (character A) has been won. Thus, the positivity is set in three stages (large, medium, and small), the likability data for the set positivity is stored in the RAM 34, and a normal effect is performed based on the positivity data stored in the RAM 34. . The first effect selection process will be described later in detail with reference to the drawing (FIG. 5).
[0031]
If the process of step S11 is executed, the CPU 31 next performs a process related to a battle with the character B (step S12). The process of step S12 is substantially the same as the process of step S10 described above except that the battle character is changed from character A to character B and the score of the battle character, the difficulty level in the game, and the like are different. Omitted. Also, the processing related to the battle with characters A to E in steps S14, S17, S19, S21, S23, S25, S28, and S30, which will be described later, is abbreviated as the processing in step S10 described above except that the battle character is different. Since the same processing is performed, the description thereof will be omitted below. Although the actions of the characters A to E are controlled by the control unit, as described above, the mahjong skill of the characters A to E is set for each of the fighting characters. The difficulty level of retirement will be different.
[0032]
If the process of step S12 is executed, the CPU 31 next executes a first effect selection process (step S13).
In the first effect selection process, as in step S11, it is determined whether or not the battle with the character B has been won. If the battle character is won, the battle character is terminated in the battle. According to the number of times, the above-mentioned favorable sensitivity is set in three stages (large, medium, small), and the favorable data regarding the set favorable sensitivity is stored in the RAM 34, and the normal based on the favorable data stored in the RAM 34 Production is performed.
However, in response to the battle character being replaced by the character B, a normal performance different from that in step S11 is performed even if the character has the same favorability (for example, high favorability). Note that, in order to reduce the data capacity, the same normal performance may be performed in the case of the same favorability even if the battle character is changed.
In the first effect process in steps S15, S24, S26, S29, and S31 described later, since the battle character is different from step S11, even if it has the same likability (for example, high likability), it is different from step S11. Although an effect is performed, the processing method is substantially the same as the processing in steps S11 and S13 described above, and therefore the description thereof will be omitted below.
[0033]
When the process of step S13 is executed, the CPU 31 performs a process related to the battle with the character C (step S14), and then executes a first effect selection process (step S15).
[0034]
When the process of step S15 is executed, the CPU 31 next determines whether or not the number of times set as low favorability is 1 or less as a result of the battle with the three battle characters A to C so far. Judgment is made (step S16). That is, the CPU 31 refers to the favorability data for each of the characters A to C stored in the RAM 34, and determines whether or not the number of opponent characters set as low favorability is one or less.
[0035]
If it is determined in step S16 that the number of times set as low likability is 1 or less, the CPU 31 performs a process related to the battle with the character B (step S17). By the processing in step S17, the player will play the character B with the second time.
[0036]
When the process of step S17 is executed, the CPU 31 next executes a second effect selection process (step S18). In the second effect selection process, it is determined whether or not the second battle with the battle character has been won. If the battle character is won, the player's score after the second battle, Favorability is set in three stages (large, medium, and small) according to the favourability of the opponent character in the second match, and the likability data about the set likability is stored in the RAM 34 and stored in the RAM 34. A normal performance is performed according to the favorable sensitivity. The second effect selection process will be described later in detail with reference to the drawing (FIG. 7).
[0037]
When the process of step S18 is executed, the CPU 31 performs a process related to the second battle with the character C (step S19), and then executes a second effect selection process (step S20).
In the second effect selection process in step S20, since the battle character is different from that in S17, a normal effect different from that in step S17 is performed even with the same favorability (for example, high favorability). Since the method is substantially the same as the process in step S17 described above, the description thereof will be omitted. The same applies to step S22 below.
Next, the CPU 31 performs a process related to the second battle with the character A (step S21), and then executes a second effect selection process (step S22).
[0038]
When the process of step S22 is executed, the CPU 31 performs a process related to the battle with the character D (step S23), executes a first effect selection process (step S24), and then performs a process related to the battle with the character E. Is performed (step S25), and a first effect selection process is executed (step S26).
[0039]
If it is determined in step S16 described above that the number of times set as low liking is not less than one (two or more), the CPU 31 performs a process related to the battle with the character E (step S28). A first effect selection process is executed (step S29), then a process related to a battle with the character D is performed (step S30), and a first effect selection process is executed (step S31).
[0040]
When the process of step S26 is executed or when the process of step S31 is executed, the CPU 31 next executes an ending process (step S27). In this ending process, an image showing a two-shot photograph of one of the five fighting characters and the player or the five fighting characters of the five fighting characters in accordance with the favorability set for each of the five fighting characters. An image showing a group photo of all the players and the players is displayed on the display device 13. This ending effect process will be described later in detail with reference to the drawing (FIG. 12).
When the process of step S27 is executed, this subroutine is terminated.
Note that when the subroutine shown in FIG. 4 is being executed, the control unit 30 functions as a game control unit that advances the mahjong game based on a control signal from the operation unit 15.
[0041]
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a first effect selection processing routine that is called and executed in step S11, S13, S15, S24, S26, S29 or step S31 of the subroutine shown in FIG.
First, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the player has won the battle character (step S40). That is, the CPU 31 refers to the battle result data stored in the RAM 34, and matches the game result data with the player in the process of step S10, S12, S14, S23, S25, S28 or step S30 described above. As a result of the battle with the character, it is determined whether there is information indicating that the player has won.
If it is determined in step S40 that the player has not won the battle character (defeated by the battle character), the CPU 31 ends the subroutine shown in FIG. At this time, the player is defeated and the game is over.
[0042]
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S40 that the player has won the battle character, the CPU 31 next determines whether or not the opponent (competition character) has been completed (step S41). That is, the CPU 31 refers to the battle result data stored in the RAM 34 and determines whether or not the number of times the battle character has been completed is one or more.
[0043]
If it is determined in step S41 that the opponent has not finished, then the CPU 31 selects an effect with a high likability (step S43). That is, the CPU 31 sets the favorability of the battle character as large, stores the favorability data for the set favorability in the RAM 34, and further, from among the plurality of normal performance data stored in the ROM 32, Normal effect data corresponding to high likability is selected and set in the RAM 34. Note that the likability data differs depending on the battle character even if the likability is the same. The same applies to the following. However, the same data may be used for the same favorable sensitivity.
[0044]
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S41 that the opponent has finished, then the CPU 31 determines whether or not the opponent has finished two times (step S42). That is, the CPU 31 refers to the battle result data stored in the RAM 34 to determine whether or not the number of times the battle character has been completed is within two times.
[0045]
If it is determined in step S42 that the opponent has finished two times or less, the CPU 31 next selects an effect that is favorably received (step S44). That is, the CPU 31 sets the favorable character of the battle character as medium, stores the above-described favorable data on the set favorable character in the RAM 34, and further, from among the plurality of normal performance data stored in the ROM 32, The normal performance data corresponding to the favorable sensitivity is selected and set in the RAM 34.
[0046]
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S42 that the resignation of the opponent is not less than two times (three or more times), the CPU 31 next selects an effect with a low liking (step S45). That is, the CPU 31 sets the favorable character of the battle character as small and stores the favorable data on the set favorable character in the RAM 34, and further, from among the plurality of normal performance data stored in the ROM 32, Normal effect data corresponding to low liking is selected and set in the RAM 34.
[0047]
After executing any of the processes in steps S43 to S45, the CPU 31 next executes the selected effect (step S46). That is, the CPU 31 performs a normal effect based on the normal effect data selected in any one of steps S43 to S45 and set in the RAM 34.
This normal effect will be described later in detail with reference to the drawing (FIG. 6).
When the process of step S46 is executed, this subroutine is terminated.
When the subroutine shown in FIG. 5 is executed, the control unit 30 receives the fact that the battle with the battle character has been won, and a plurality of normal effects stored in the ROM 32 according to the number of times the battle character has ended. It functions as a selection means for selecting one normal production data from the data.
Further, when the subroutine shown in FIG. 5 is being executed, the control unit 30 functions as an effect unit that performs a normal effect using images and / or sounds based on the normal effect data selected by the selection unit.
[0048]
Next, an image displayed on the display device 13 of the mahjong game machine 10 when the process of step S46 of the subroutine shown in FIG. 5 is being executed will be described with reference to FIG.
FIGS. 6A to 6C are diagrams schematically illustrating an example of an image displayed on the display device 13 of the mahjong game machine 10.
[0049]
The screen images shown in FIGS. 6A to 6C are images displayed on the display device 13 when the process of step S46 of the subroutine shown in FIG. The screen images shown in FIGS. 6A to 6C are images when the battle character is the character A.
6A to 6C, an image showing the player's hand is displayed below the screen image, and an image showing the opponent character's hand is displayed above the screen image. Has been. It should be noted that the hand of the opponent character is displayed in a manner in which the saddle faces the back side so that the content is not visually recognized by the player. Further, an image showing the discarding of the fighting character is displayed below the image showing the fighting character of the fighting character.
In the center of the screen image, an image showing the appearance of the fighting character (character A) and an image showing the dialogue spoken by the fighting character (blown image) are displayed.
[0050]
In the screen image shown in FIG. 6A, normal effect data corresponding to high favorability is selected in step S43 of the subroutine shown in FIG. 5, and thereafter, a normal effect based on the normal effect data selected in step S46 is displayed. It is an image displayed on the display device 13 when it is performed.
