  The game apparatus 10 having such a configuration provides a soccer (ball game) simulation game that simulates a soccer game. In this game, a turn in which a player of an operation target team (hereinafter referred to as own team) acts in a game (game) field in accordance with an instruction from a player (hereinafter referred to as own turn) and an instruction from another player. The game progresses by alternately performing turns (hereinafter referred to as opponent turns) in which the players of the opponent's team (hereinafter referred to as opponent team) act based on the control by the computer. To go. The game situation changes according to the player's behavior in each turn. A game consists of a predetermined number of turns. That is, the game ends when the total of the number of times the player's turn is executed and the number of times the opponent's turn is executed reaches a predetermined number. The number of turns constituting one game can be freely set by the player.

  3 to 8 show examples of action instruction input screens of the soccer simulation game according to the present embodiment. On these action instruction input screens, the player designates the action of the player of the own team in the turn.

  FIG. 3 shows an instruction target player determination screen in which the player determines a player to give an instruction. The player characters 52 a to 52 d and 54 a to 54 c indicate the current position and orientation (posture) of each player in the game field 50. The player characters 52a to 52d indicate the players of the own team (Team A). On the other hand, the player characters 54a to 54c indicate players of the opponent team (Team B). The ball character 56 indicates the current position of the ball. When the ball is kept (held) by any player, the ball character 56 is displayed so as to overlap the player character (player character 52a in the example of the figure) related to the player. The score status image 58 shows the score status of both teams. The elapsed time image 60 shows the elapsed time and remaining time of the game. The action instruction status image 62 shows the action types that can be instructed in the turn and the remaining number of times. The action instruction status image 62 will be described later.

  In such an instruction target player determination screen, players belonging to the own team are sequentially designated as instruction target candidates in accordance with the operation of the direction button 34 by the player. As for the player who is the candidate for instruction, as shown in FIG. 4, an image showing the normal movement range, dash movement range, etc. of the player is displayed in association with the player character related to the player.

  When the player who becomes the instruction target candidate belongs to the attacking team and keeps (controls) the ball, as shown in FIG. A normal movement range 64 and a dash movement range 66 are displayed. The normal movement range 64 indicates a range in which the player can move during the turn. A dash movement range 66 indicates a range in which the player can move by a dash during the turn. As shown in the figure, these ranges have directivity with respect to the direction of the player. The movement by the dash is limited in moving direction compared to the normal movement, but can move further. However, in the case of a normal movement, the player's orientation can be changed after the movement, whereas in the case of a dash movement, changing the player's orientation after the movement is restricted. . That is, when moving by a dash, the direction of the player cannot be changed in order to prepare for the next movement. These ranges are determined based on the current position and orientation of the player. Furthermore, the size of these ranges is determined based on the value of a predetermined parameter indicating the physical ability or technical ability of the player. In the present embodiment, by providing the normal movement range 64 and the dash movement range 66 in this way, the strategy of the soccer simulation game is improved and the interest of the player's action selection is improved.

  Whether or not the team is attacking is determined by whether or not the player of the team keeps the ball. That is, the team to which the player who keeps the ball belongs is determined to be attacking. In this case, it is determined that the other team is defending. If there is no player keeping the ball, it is determined to be a so-called loose ball state.

  When the player who becomes the instruction target candidate belongs to the attacking team and does not keep the ball, as shown in FIG. 4B, the normal movement range of the player who is the instruction target candidate Only 64 are displayed. The normal movement range 64 in such a case may be made larger than that shown in FIG. For example, the normal movement range 64 in such a case may be set so that the maximum movement distance is the same as the dash movement range 66 in FIG. Note that the same is displayed when the ball is in the loose ball state.

  When the player who is the instruction target candidate belongs to the team being defended, the normal movement range 64 and the charge range 68 of the player who is the instruction target candidate are displayed. The charge range 68 indicates a range in which a pass or shoot made by the attacking team can be reliably intercepted. Here, “intercept” indicates that the path is blocked and the ball is under its control. In other words, if at least a part of the path or course of the shot (course) made by the attacking team is included in the charge range 68 of the player of the defending team, the ball is taken by the player. Further, when at least a part of the path or shot trajectory made by the attacking team is included in the normal movement range 64 of the player of the defending team, the pass or shot is based on the probability corresponding to the player. Intercepted. Such a probability is determined based on a value of a predetermined parameter indicating the physical ability or technical ability of the player. In this case, the normal movement range 64 may be made larger than that shown in FIG. For example, the normal movement range 64 in such a case may be set so that the maximum movement distance is the same as the dash movement range 66 in FIG. Similarly to the normal movement range 64 and the dash movement range 66, the charge range 68 is determined based on the current position and orientation of the player. The size of the charge range 68 is determined based on the value of a predetermined parameter indicating the physical ability or technical ability of the player.

  On the instruction target player determination screen, when a predetermined determination button is pressed while any player is an instruction target candidate, the player is determined as the instruction target. When the instruction target player is determined, an action determination screen as shown in FIG. 5 is displayed. As shown in the figure, an action instruction command selection menu 57 is displayed at the lower right of the action determination screen. This figure shows a case where the player to be instructed belongs to the attacking team and keeps the ball. In such a case, “Dribble”, “Pass”, and “Shoot” are displayed in the action instruction command selection menu 57. The player selects one by operating the upper direction instruction unit and the lower direction instruction unit of the direction button 34, and presses a predetermined determination button, thereby determining an action to be instructed to the instruction target player.

  When the instruction target player belongs to the attacking team and does not keep the ball, only “move” is displayed in the action instruction command selection menu 57. Similarly, only “move” is displayed in the action instruction command selection menu 57 in the loose ball state. Even when the instruction target player belongs to the defending team, only “move” is displayed in the selection menu 57 of the action instruction command. However, when the player who keeps the ball is located within a predetermined range based on the position of the instruction target player, “sliding” is additionally displayed in the action instruction command selection menu 57.

  In the present embodiment, the number of action instruction commands that can be input in each turn is limited. Specifically, a “moving” or “dribbling” can be instructed once for a team under attack, and “pass” or “shooting” can be instructed twice. It is now possible to instruct the moving team twice to “move”. “Sliding” can be instructed to a player who satisfies a predetermined condition, and the number of times is not limited. In the loose ball state, “move” can be instructed once. The remaining number of action instruction commands that can be input in each turn is indicated by an action instruction situation image 62. In the example of FIG. 3, the image “M” indicates the number of times that a “move” or “dribble” action instruction command can be input. The image “A” indicates the number of times that a “pass” or “shoot” action instruction command can be input. For example, when a “move” or “dribble” action instruction command is input and a process based on the command is executed, the “M” image is erased from the screen or the display mode is changed to indicate that. . Similarly, when a “pass” or “shoot” action instruction command is input and processing based on the command is executed, the image “A” is erased from the screen or the display mode is changed to indicate that. Is done. In each turn, each player may be instructed to “move” or “dribble” once and “pass” or “shoot” once. In this case, it is preferable to restrict each player so that “pass” or “shoot” cannot be instructed after instructing “movement” or “dribbling”. In this way, the balance of offense and defense can be suitably maintained.

  When “pass” is selected on the action determination screen, a path instruction screen as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed. The player designates the target position of the pass and its course (trajectory) on the screen. First, the player determines the target position of the pass. The player operates the direction button 34 to move the cursor image 70 indicating the target position candidate of the path to a desired position. In this case, based on the position of the cursor image 70, the normal movement range 64 and the charge range 68 may be displayed for at least a part of the players of the defensive team. For example, the normal movement range 64 and the charge range 68 may be displayed for two players close to the position of the cursor image 70. In the case of this figure, the normal movement range 64 and charge range 68 of these players may be displayed in association with the player characters 54a and 54b. In this case, assuming that the position of the cursor image 70 is determined as the target position of the path, the probability that the path is successful or the probability that the path is hindered (such as the probability of being intercepted or the probability of being cut) is calculated. You may make it display. Similarly, the normal movement range 64 and the charge range 68 may be displayed for at least a part of the players of the attacking team. For example, the normal movement range 64 and the charge range 68 may be displayed for two players close to the position of the cursor image 70. For the player to be instructed, the normal movement range 64 and the dash movement range 66 may be displayed until the input of the action instruction command is completed. In such a path instruction screen, when a predetermined determination button is pressed by the player, the position indicated by the cursor image 70 is determined as the target position of the path.

  On the pass instruction screen, the player next determines a pass course. In the present embodiment, when the target position of the pass is determined, pass course images 72a to 72c showing candidates of the pass course from the current position to the target position are displayed. The player selects one of these by operating the direction button 34 and a predetermined determination button. The types of pass course candidates may be increased or decreased based on the value of the technical skill parameter of the instruction target player.

  When the target position of the pass and its course are determined, a pass result determination process (FIG. 12) described later is executed. The pass result judgment process is based on information and random numbers such as the current position of the ball, the target position of the pass, the pass course, the technical skill parameter of the player to be pointed, the current position of the player of the opponent team, the physical ability parameter and the technical skill parameter The pass is judged and the information on the position of the ball and the player who keeps the ball is updated.

  When “Dribble” or “Move” is selected on the action determination screen, a move instruction screen is displayed. On the same screen, the player determines a target position for movement and dribbling. The player operates the direction button 34 to move the cursor image indicating the target position candidate for movement or dribbling to a desired position. When “Dribble” is selected, the range in which the cursor image can be moved is limited to the normal movement range 64 and the dash movement range 66. On the other hand, when “move” is selected, the range in which the cursor image can be moved is limited to the normal movement range 64. When a predetermined determination button is pressed by the player, the position indicated by the cursor image is determined as the target position for movement or dribbling. When the target position is within the normal movement range 64, the player also determines the post-movement posture. The player determines the orientation of the player at the moved position by operating a predetermined posture change button (for example, the buttons 41L and 41R) and a predetermined determination button. When the target position for movement or dribbling is determined, predetermined movement result determination processing is executed. In the movement result determination process, based on information such as the current position and posture of the designated player, the current position of the ball, the target position of movement or dribbling specified by the player, and the posture after the movement, the current position of the designated player Information indicating the position and posture and the current position of the ball is updated.

  When “shoot” is selected on the action determination screen, a shoot instruction screen as shown in FIG. 7 is displayed. On the same screen, a plurality of shooting target ranges 76 a to 76 f are displayed in association with the goal 74. The player designates one of a plurality of shooting target ranges 76a to 76f. The player operates the direction button 32 and a predetermined determination button to determine the shooting target range. In this case, the selection may be limited for some or all of the plurality of shot target ranges based on information indicating the current position and posture of the player to be instructed and the position of the goal. In this way, it is possible to make it impossible to select a shooting target range that cannot be aimed from the current position of the instruction target player, and it is possible to improve the interest of the shooting. As in the case where “pass” is selected, the player may be able to specify the trajectory of the shot from the current position to the goal. Further, based on information indicating the current position of the player to be instructed and predetermined parameter information indicating physical ability and technical ability, the action instruction command selection menu 57 is limited so that “shoot” cannot be selected. Also good. In addition, although any one of the plurality of target shoot ranges 76a to 76f is selected here, the target shoot position may be freely specified without providing the target shoot range. Furthermore, the players of the opponent team (goalkeepers, defenders, etc.) may be displayed on the shot instruction screen based on their current positions. When the target range (position) of the shoot is determined, a shoot result determination process described later is executed. In the shooting result determination process, the success or failure of the shooting is determined, and the contents of the game situation information table and the player information table are updated based on the determination result.

  Here, functional blocks implemented in the game apparatus 10 will be described. FIG. 8 is a diagram mainly showing those related to the present invention among the functional blocks realized in the game apparatus 10.

In the “player ID” field, identification information for identifying each player is stored. In the “team ID” field, information for specifying a team to which each player belongs is stored. In the “physical ability parameter” field, various parameter information (numerical information) indicating physical ability such as “dash” and “stamina” is stored. In the “technical skill parameter” field, for example, various parameter information (numerical information) indicating technical ability such as “pass”, “shoot”, “dribble”, “defense”, and the like is stored. In the “reference position” field, information for specifying the arrangement position of each player at the start of the game (kick-off) is stored. In the “current position” field, information for specifying the current position of each player is stored. In the “posture” field, information for specifying the posture of each player, particularly the direction in which each player is facing (for example, the front direction) is stored. In addition to these pieces of information, the player information table stores numerical information indicating the remaining stamina of each player, information indicating the accumulated cards of each player, information indicating the number of scores and assists so far, and the like. You may do it. The numerical information indicating the remaining stamina of each player is determined based on, for example, a “stamina” parameter, and decreases by a predetermined amount each time each player acts. For players whose numerical information indicating the remaining stamina is less than or equal to a predetermined value, various parameters indicating physical ability and technical ability are referred to in a pass result determination process (FIG. 11) and a shoot result determination process (FIG. 12) described later. In this case, it is preferable to reduce the values of these parameters by a predetermined amount.

  The command input receiving unit 82 receives an input of an action instruction command for the players of the own team in the own turn. Here, the “own team” indicates a team to be operated by the player. “Self turn” indicates a turn in which an instruction can be given to the team that is the operation target of the player. In this embodiment, “pass”, “move”, “dribble”, “shoot”, and “sliding” commands are prepared as action instruction commands. The command input receiving unit 82 displays a game screen as shown in FIGS. 3 to 7 on the monitor 18, for example. Based on the operation signal input from the operation unit 80, the action instruction command selected by the player is determined.

  The “pass” command is a command for passing to the player who keeps the ball. The “pass” command includes information for specifying a player who performs a pass, information for specifying a target position of the pass, and information indicating a pass course up to the target position. For example, the command input receiving unit 82 displays a game screen as shown in FIGS. 3, 5, and 6 on the monitor 18 and guides the player to input the information. The command input accepting unit 82 accepts designation of a target position candidate for a path, and determines the designated target position candidate as a target position for the path in accordance with a predetermined determination operation by the player. In this case, the command input receiving unit 82 may guide and display the normal movement range 64 (ball take-back possible range) for at least some players of the opponent team based on the target position candidates designated by the player. Good. Similarly, based on the target position candidate designated by the player, the charge range 68 (ball takeout range) may be guided and displayed for at least some of the opponent team players.

  The “move” command is a command for moving the player. The “move” command includes information for specifying a player who performs a move and information for specifying a target position of the move. Information for specifying the posture after movement may be included. On the other hand, the “dribble” command is a command for dribbling the player who keeps the ball. The “dribble” command includes information for specifying a player who performs dribbling and information for specifying a target position of dribbling. Information for specifying the posture after movement may be included. For example, the command input receiving unit 82 displays a game screen as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5 on the monitor 18 and guides the player to input such information.

  The “shoot” command is a command for causing a player who keeps the ball to shoot. The “shoot” command includes information for specifying a player who performs a shot and information for specifying a target range of the shot. Information for specifying the trajectory (shoot course) from the current position to the goal may be included. For example, the command input receiving unit 82 displays a game screen as shown in FIGS. 3, 5, and 7 on the monitor 18 and guides the player to input the information.

  The “sliding” command is a command for causing the player to slide. The “sliding” command includes information for specifying a player who performs sliding. For example, the command input receiving unit 82 displays a game screen as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5 on the monitor 18 and guides the player to input such information.

  Note that the command input receiving unit 82 may limit the reception of an action instruction command when a predetermined command input restriction condition is satisfied. The command input restriction condition may indicate, for example, the types of action instruction commands that can be input in each turn and the number of times. The command input receiving unit 82 according to the present embodiment determines whether the team is in an attacking state, a defensive state, or a loose ball state when each turn is started. . And action instruction | indication situation information is produced | generated based on the judgment result, and this is hold | maintained at a memory | storage part. The action instruction status information indicates the types of commands that can be input in the turn and the remaining number of times. As described above, in this embodiment, it is possible to instruct a team that is attacking “move” or “dribble” once and “pass” or “shoot” twice. Therefore, the command input receiving unit 82 indicates an action instruction indicating that “movement” or “dribbling” can be instructed once and “pass” or “shoot” can be instructed twice when the team is in an attacking state, for example. Generate status information. The action instruction status information is updated after the action instruction command is input by the command input receiving unit 82 and processing based on the action instruction command is executed. For example, when a “move” command is received by the command input receiving unit 82 and processing based on the “move” command is executed, the remaining number of times that can be instructed to “move” or “dribble” is decreased by one. The action instruction status information is updated. The action instruction situation image 62 on the game screen shown in FIG. 3 is displayed based on the action instruction situation information.

  When the action input command is received by the command input receiving unit 82, the game information updating unit 86 updates the game information stored in the game information storage unit 88 based on the action instruction command. For example, when the “pass” command is received by the command input receiving unit 82, the game information updating unit 86 executes a pass result determination process (see FIG. 12) described later. In such a pass result determination process, based on the information indicating the current position of the ball, the information indicating the target position of the pass, and the information indicating the current position of the player of the opponent team, the success or failure of the pass, the position of the ball, etc. decide.

  Further, for example, when the “shoot” command is received by the command input receiving unit 82, the game information update unit 86 executes a shoot result determination process (see FIG. 13) described later. In such a shot result determination process, information indicating the current position of the ball, information indicating the target position of the shot, information indicating the current position of the player of the opponent team, parameter information of the player performing the shot, and parameter information of the goalkeeper The success or failure of the shoot is determined based on the above.

  Further, for example, when a “move” command or “dribble” command is received by the command input receiving unit 82, the game information update unit 86 indicates the current position of the player based on the information indicating the target position of movement or dribbling. Update information. When these commands include information for specifying the posture of the player after movement, information indicating the posture of the player is updated. In the case of the “dribble” command, information indicating the current position of the ball is also updated.

  Further, for example, when the “sliding” command is received by the command input receiving unit 82, the game information updating unit 86 includes predetermined parameter information of the player who performs the sliding and predetermined parameter information of the player who is the subject of the sliding. Read, and based on these, the success or failure of sliding is determined. The success or failure of the sliding may be determined further based on information indicating the current positions of the player who performs the sliding and the target player. When the current position of the player who performs the sliding and the target player satisfies a predetermined condition, it may be determined as a foul.

  The opponent team processing unit 92 gives an action instruction to the player of the opponent team in the opponent turn. The opponent team processing unit 92 may be configured in the same manner as the command input receiving unit 82, for example, and may receive an input of an action instruction command from another player. Or you may make it perform the action instruction | indication with respect to a player according to a predetermined action instruction | indication algorithm, for example. That is, an action instruction for a player may be determined based on computer control.

  The display unit 90 displays a game screen based on the action instruction command received by the command input receiving unit 82 and the game information stored in the game information storage unit 88. The display unit 90 displays on the monitor 18 an image representing how the player behaves in accordance with the player's instruction. Moreover, the image showing a mode that the condition of a game changes according to the action of the player is displayed on the monitor 18. The image displayed on the monitor 18 may be generated based on the action instruction command received by the command input receiving unit 82 and the game information stored in the game information storage unit 88. Alternatively, a plurality of types of image data such as still image data, animation data, movie data, and the like representing the behavior of the player and the situation change of the game may be stored in advance. In this case, image data is selected based on the action instruction command received by the command input receiving unit 82 and the game information stored in the game information storage unit 88, and an image based on the image data is displayed on the monitor 18. What should I do?

  The turn control unit 84 counts the number of turns executed so far from the start of the game at the start or end of each turn, and stores this in the “number of turns” field of the game situation information table. Further, the turn control unit 84 stores whether the current turn is the player's turn or the opponent's turn, or determines whether the current turn is the player's turn based on the content of the game situation information table or the like. To determine. Further, the turn control unit 84 shifts to the opponent turn when a predetermined turn end condition is satisfied in the turn. Moreover, the turn control part 84 is made to transfer to a self turn, when predetermined turn completion conditions are satisfied in the other party turn. Here, the turn indicates a turn for giving an action instruction to the player. The turn end condition may be, for example, a condition as to whether a predetermined turn end operation has been performed by the player. The turn end condition may include a condition as to whether or not the opponent team player has taken the ball that the player of the own team has kept. Further, the turn end condition may include a condition as to whether or not the command input receiving unit 82 restricts the reception of the action instruction command.

  Here, a process executed by the game apparatus 10 will be described. FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 are flowcharts showing processes related to the present invention among processes executed every predetermined time (for example, 1/60 second) in the game apparatus 10. FIG. 11 shows a process (pass result determination process) executed when a “pass” command is received by the command input receiving unit 82. FIG. 12 shows a process (shoot result determination process) executed when a “shoot” command is received by the command input receiving unit 82. These processes are realized by the game device 10 executing a program supplied to the computer via a computer-readable information storage medium such as a DVD-ROM or a communication network.

  As shown in FIG. 11, in the pass result determination process, the game information update unit 86 first calculates the distance from the current position of the ball to the target position of the pass (S101). The current position of the ball is acquired based on the content of the “ball position” field of the game situation information table. The target position of the path is acquired based on the information specifying the target position of the path included in the “pass” command.

  And the game information update part 86 acquires the charge range of each player of an opponent team based on the distance acquired in S101 (S102). The charge range of each player is determined so as to increase in size according to the distance acquired in S101. The size of the charge range is determined based on predetermined parameter information indicating the physical ability and technical ability of each player.

  Then, based on the information indicating the path of the pass included in the “pass” command, the match information update unit 86 includes at least a part of the path of the pass in the charge range of the player of the opponent team acquired in S102. Whether or not (S103). In the present embodiment, the current position of the ball, each player, the target position of the pass, and the like are managed as plane coordinates. In this step, it is determined whether or not there is an intersection between the path of the path and the charge range such as a circle or an ellipse. If there is an intersection, it is determined that at least a part of the path of the pass is included in the charge range of the player of the opponent team acquired in S102.

  When at least a part of the path of the pass is included in the charge range of the player of the opponent team, the game information storage unit 86 determines that the pass has been intercepted by the player. When the pass trajectory intersects with the charge ranges of a plurality of players, it may be determined that the player is intercepted by a player close to the current position of the player performing the pass. Here, “intercept” indicates a case where a player who prevents a pass will hold the ball as it is. In this case, the game information update unit 86 updates the content of the “ball holding player ID” field of the game status information table so that the player becomes a player who keeps the ball (S104). Further, the game information update unit 86 determines the position where the intercept is performed based on the information indicating the path of the pass and the information indicating the charge range of the player. Then, the contents of the “ball position” field of the game situation information table and the contents of the “current position” field of the player information table are updated so that the current position of the ball and the current position of the player become the positions (S105). .

  When it is determined in S103 that the path of the pass is not included in the charge range of the opponent team, the game information storage unit 86 acquires the normal movement range of each player of the opponent team (S106). The size of the normal movement range is determined based on various parameter information indicating the physical ability and technical ability of each player. Moreover, you may make it the normal movement range of each player become large according to the distance acquired in S101.

  Then, the game information update unit 86 determines whether or not at least a part of the path of the pass is included in the normal movement range of the player of the opponent team acquired in S106 (S107). When at least a part of the path of the pass is included in the normal movement range of the player of the opponent team, predetermined parameter information between the player and the player who made the pass is read, and based on these parameter information and random numbers Then, it is determined whether or not the pass is hindered by the player (S108). In other words, this determination is made based on the probability corresponding to the player or the player who made the pass. Such a probability may be a probability that the path is blocked or a probability that the path is successful. Such a probability may be changed based on the distance between the player and the path of the pass. For example, as the distance between the player and the path of the pass increases, the probability of hindering the pass may be reduced. When the pass trajectory intersects with the normal movement ranges of a plurality of players, the determination may be made in order from the player closest to the current position of the player performing the pass.

  When it is determined that the pass is hindered, the game information update unit 86 determines whether it is an intercept or a cut. Such a determination is made based on predetermined parameter information or random numbers of the players that prevent the pass. Here, unlike “intercept”, “cut” indicates a case where a player who prevents a pass cannot hold the ball and enters a loose ball state. In the case of intercept, the content of the “ball holding player ID” field of the game situation information table is updated to indicate the player who has blocked the pass. On the other hand, in the case of a cut, the content of the “ball holding player ID” field in the game situation information table is updated to indicate the state of the loose ball (S109). In the case of an intercept, the position where the intercept is performed is determined based on the information indicating the path of the pass and the information indicating the normal movement range of the player. Then, the contents of the “ball position” field of the game situation information table and the contents of the “current position” field of the player information table are updated to indicate the position. On the other hand, also in the case of a cut, the position where the cut was performed is determined similarly. Then, the content of the “current position” field of the player information table is updated to indicate the position. Further, in the case of a cut, the position of the ball is determined based on the information indicating the path of the pass and the information indicating the current position and normal movement range of the player who has blocked the pass. Then, the content of the “ball position” field of the game situation information table is updated to indicate the position (S110).

  When it is determined in S108 that the pass is not hindered, the game information update unit 86 determines the position of the ball based on the predetermined parameter information of the player who makes the pass, the distance acquired in S101, and the random number. To do. Then, the game information update unit 86 updates the content of the “ball position” field of the game situation information table so that the current position of the ball becomes the position (S111). Furthermore, if there is a player located within a predetermined range from the position of the ball, the content of the “ball holding player ID” field of the game situation information table is set so that the player is a player who keeps the ball. Update (S112). In this case, when there is no player located within a predetermined range from the position of the ball, the content of the “ball holding player ID” field of the game situation information table is updated so as to indicate the state of the loose ball.

  And the game information update part 86 updates the action instruction | indication situation information hold | maintained at a memory | storage part (S113). Further, the display unit 90 displays the result of the pass based on the contents of the input “pass” command, the game information stored in the game information storage unit 88, and the result of the pass determined by the game information update unit 86. The image to be displayed is displayed on the monitor 18 (S114). This process is complete | finished above. If it is determined in S103 or S108 that the pass is intercepted, the turn control unit 84 ends the turn and the next turn To start.

  As shown in FIG. 12, in the shot result determination process, first, the game information update unit 86 calculates the distance from the current position of the ball to the position of the goal (S201). The current position of the ball is acquired based on the content of the “ball position” field of the game situation information table. The goal position is stored in the storage unit as part of the game data.

  Then, the game information update unit 86 determines whether or not the opponent's player is hindered from shooting, as in the case of the pass result determination process (S102 to S110), and based on the determination result, the game situation information table And the contents of the player information table are updated (S202 to S210). In S203 and S207, it is determined whether or not at least a part of the trajectory of the shot is included in the charge range 68 or the normal movement range 64 of the opponent team player.

  When it is determined in S208 that the shot is not hindered, the game information update unit 86 shoots based on the predetermined parameter information of the player who shoots, the predetermined parameter information of the goalkeeper player, and the random number. The success or failure is determined (S211). In addition to the above information, the success or failure of the shot may be determined based on the information indicating the posture of the player who shoots and the action before the shoot. Furthermore, the success or failure of the shot may be determined based on information indicating the current position of the player who is shooting and information indicating the target range of the shot.

  And the game information update part 86 updates a game situation information table and a player information table based on the shoot result determined in S211 (S212). When the shoot is successful, that is, when the goal is determined, the information indicating the scoring status is updated. On the other hand, if the shot was unsuccessful, the ball was caught (saved) by the goalkeeper, punched by the goalkeeper, the shot was out of the frame, and the shot hit the post. There are cases. When saved to the goalkeeper, the contents of the “ball holding player ID” field of the game situation information table and the “ball position” field of the game situation information table are the same as when the pass or shoot is intercepted. Update. When punched by the goalkeeper, the position of the ball is determined based on the goalkeeper position, the trajectory of the shot, or a random number, as in the case where the pass or the shot is cut. Then, the contents of the “ball position” field of the game situation information table are updated so that the current position of the ball becomes the position. When there is a player located within a predetermined range from the determined ball position, the content of the “ball holding player ID” field of the game situation information table is set so that the player is a player who keeps the ball. Update. When the shot is out of the frame, the content of the “ball position” field of the game situation information table is updated so that the current position of the ball becomes a predetermined position. In addition, the contents of the “ball holding player ID” field of the game situation information table are updated to indicate the player who performs the goal kick. When the shot hits the post and comes off, the ball position is determined based on the trajectory of the shot or a random number. Then, the contents of the “ball position” field of the game situation information table are updated so that the current position of the ball becomes the position. Further, as in the case of punching by the goalkeeper, the contents of the “ball holding player ID” field of the game situation information table are updated.

  And the game information update part 86 updates the action instruction | indication situation information hold | maintained at a memory | storage part (S213). Further, the display unit 90 represents the result of the shoot based on the content of the input “shoot” command, the game information stored in the game information storage unit 88, and the shoot result determined by the game information update unit 86. The image is displayed on the monitor 18 (S214). This process is complete | finished above. As in the case of the pass result determination process, if it is determined that the shot is intercepted in S203 or S208, or if it is determined that the shot is saved by the keeper in S212, the ball is a player of the opponent team. In the case where the turn control unit 84 has been kept, the turn control unit 84 ends the turn and starts the next turn.

  As described above, in the game device 10 according to the present embodiment, the success or failure of the pass or shoot is determined based on the position of the player of the opponent team located on the pass or shoot trajectory side and the predetermined parameter information.
