  The display control unit 110 performs display control of images (objects) displayed on the touch panel display 190 and the display 191 (first and second displays). Specifically, an object to be displayed (character, target, car, ball, item, building, tree, pillar, wall, map) is generated, the display or display position of the object is indicated, or the object is deleted. Display control. That is, display control such as registering the generated object in the object list (character management list), transferring the object list to the image generation unit 120 or deleting the deleted object from the object list (character management list), etc. I do.

  The movement control unit 111 performs processing for moving an object (two-dimensional or three-dimensional object) in a game field (game space, two-dimensional or three-dimensional object space). That is, processing for moving an object is performed based on operation data input by the player using the operation unit 160 or the touch panel display 190, a program (movement algorithm), various data (object list), and the like. More specifically, a process of sequentially obtaining object movement information (position, rotation angle, speed, or acceleration) every frame (1/60 second) is performed. The movement control unit (motion control unit) 111 can also perform processing for moving the object. That is, a process for moving an object (motion, animation) based on operation data input by the player using the operation unit 160 or the touch panel display 190, a program (motion algorithm), various data (motion data, animation data), and the like. I do. More specifically, processing for sequentially obtaining object motion information (position, rotation angle, or shape of each part object) every frame (1/60 second) is performed. Note that a frame is a unit of time for performing object movement control processing, motion control processing, and image generation processing.

  The game calculation unit 112 performs game calculation processing for generating game images and game sounds. The game calculation process includes a process for determining the content and game mode of the game, a process for starting the game when the game start conditions are satisfied, a process for advancing the game, and a game parameter (game result) that changes depending on the game play. There is a process for calculating or a process for ending a game when a game end condition is satisfied.

  Here, the game parameters (game result parameter, game situation parameter) are variables or flags that change due to game play using a moving object or the like. That is, it is a variable or flag whose value changes from time to time according to the game play result (intermediate result, final result) of the player and the game progress. This game parameter is declared as a variable or flag in the program, for example. In addition, while the game is in progress, game parameter values that are updated as needed are stored and held in the game parameter storage unit 174. The game parameters include a parameter for representing a player's score or points (game result, final result), a parameter (flag) for representing the type or number of enemies defeated by the player, and items acquired by the player. Parameters (flags) for representing the type or number, parameters for representing the status (abilities and levels) of the player (character), and parameters for representing the degree of progress of the game (number of cleared game stages, elapsed time limit) Alternatively, there are parameters (flags) for representing the type or number of game events (conversation event, battle start event, stage clear event, scenario branch event) that occurred during the game.

  The movement permission condition determination unit 113 moves the moving object from the first game field displayed on the touch panel display 190 to the second game field displayed on the display 191 (or from the second game field to the first game Judgment processing is performed as to whether or not a condition for permitting movement to the field is satisfied. Here, the game field is a field in which a moving object can move, and is a field (game space, two-dimensional or three-dimensional object space, game stage) where a player plays a game. The first and second game fields may be completely separate game fields (fields where separate games are performed), or one game field may be formed by combining the first and second game fields. It may be a field as represented.

  The movement permission condition is a condition for permitting the movement of the moving object from the first game field to the second game field (or from the second game field to the first game field). is there. If this movement permission condition is satisfied, the moving object may unconditionally move from the first game field to the second game field (automatic movement). In addition to this movement permission condition, The moving object may move from the first game field to the second game field when other conditions (passing conditions and the like) are satisfied.

  In the present embodiment, whether or not the movement permission condition is satisfied is determined based on a game parameter (game result in the first game field) that changes due to game play in the first game field. Specifically, when a score or point reaches a predetermined (given) value, when a predetermined type of enemy is defeated or a predetermined number of enemies are defeated, a predetermined type of item is acquired, or a predetermined number of items , When the status (ability, level) reaches a predetermined value or a predetermined status, when the game reaches a predetermined progress (game stage), or when a predetermined type of game event When a predetermined number of game events occur, it is determined that the movement permission condition is satisfied. Then, the movement control unit 111 performs control to move the moving object from the first game field to the second game field when the movement permission condition is satisfied. In addition, when the movement permission condition is satisfied, the display control unit 110 performs a process of hiding the obstacle displayed on the passage route (a process of deleting the obstacle object from the object list).

  The passing condition determining unit 114 is configured to allow the moving object to pass from the first game field to the second game field (or from the second game field to the first game field) when the movement permission condition is satisfied. Judgment processing is performed to determine whether or not the passage condition is satisfied.

  The passing condition is a moving object on a passing route (virtual passing route, entrance, passage, moving route) from the first game field to the second game field (or from the second game field to the first game field). Is a condition for passing. Specifically, in this embodiment, the passage condition determination unit (hit check unit) 114 performs a hit check between the passage determination hit area (line area, two-dimensional area, and three-dimensional area) and the moving object. Then, when it is determined that the moving object hits the hit area for passage determination (hit area set according to the size and position of the passage route), it is determined that the passage condition is satisfied. Then, the movement control unit 111 performs control to move the moving object from the first game field to the second game field when the passage condition is satisfied in addition to the movement permission condition.

  The object changing unit 115 performs processing for changing at least one of the size and shape of the moving object. Specifically, the object changing unit 115 changes at least one of the size and shape of the moving object when the moving object passes through the passage route. More specifically, the moving object is reduced or enlarged according to the size of the passage route. Alternatively, the shape of the moving object is changed according to the size and shape of the passage route. The enlargement / reduction processing can be realized by coordinate conversion processing (coordinate conversion processing of each point of the object) or the like. The process of changing the shape of the moving object can be realized by changing the animation pattern or motion data.

  The counting unit 116 performs time limit counting processing. For example, every time one frame elapses, a count process for decrementing the time limit is performed. Then, the movement control unit 111 sets the second game field (or the second game field) from the first game field on condition that the movement permission condition (passing condition) is satisfied within the time limit counted by the counting unit 116. Control is performed to move the moving object from the game field to the first game field. Specifically, if the movement permission condition is not satisfied within the time limit, the value of the game points accumulated so far to satisfy the movement permission condition (score, points, number of defeated enemies, items Clear the number of acquisitions).

  The shape recognition unit 117 performs recognition processing of the input shape input by the player. Specifically, the player performs matching processing between an input shape (handwritten shape) input using the touch panel display 190 (or a handwritten shape input device other than the touch panel display) and a shape pattern prepared in advance. Recognize input shapes. More specifically, when the player inputs a desired shape using the touch panel display 190, the input shape storage unit uses the coordinate data of the touch position and the angle data of the line segment connecting the touch positions as input shape data. Stored in 176. Then, matching processing is performed between the stored input shape (collection of angle data) and the shape pattern (collection of angle data) registered as dictionary data in the shape pattern storage unit 178. That is, the similarity between the angle data of the input shape and the angle data of the shape pattern is calculated. If it is determined that the input shape is the same as or similar to the specific shape pattern based on the calculated similarity, it is determined that the input shape matches the specific shape pattern.

  When the input shape matches a registered shape pattern (linear shape, circular shape, moving object shape) and the shape is recognized, processing corresponding to the recognized shape type is performed.

  For example, when it is recognized that the input shape is a straight line shape, a hit check is performed between the straight line shape and the moving object, and when the input shape is hit, the movement control unit 111 performs a process of changing the moving direction of the moving object. Do.

  When the input shape is recognized as the shape of the moving object, the display control unit 110 performs control to generate and display the moving object corresponding to the input shape. Here, the moving object corresponding to the input shape is a moving object having the same or similar shape and size as the input shape.

  For example, if the moving object is generated and displayed using the input shape data (touch position data) as it is, the moving object having the same shape as the shape input by the player can be displayed. In this case, only a part of the input shape (for example, the mouth portion) may be replaced with another replacement shape for animation display. On the other hand, if a model-shaped moving object that matches the input shape is searched and the model-shaped moving object is generated and displayed, a moving object having a shape similar to the input shape can be displayed. In this case, for example, if the input shape of the player is a moving object having a large size, a moving object having a large size is selected from the moving objects having a model shape and displayed.

  The drawing direction specifying unit 118 performs processing for specifying drawing directions of various shapes. Specifically, when the shape recognition unit 117 recognizes that the input shape of the player is a linear shape, the drawing direction determination unit 118 specifies the drawing direction (drawn direction, vector direction) of the linear shape, The specified drawing direction data is stored in the drawing direction storage unit 179. The linear drawing direction can be a direction from the start point (pen-down position) to the end point (pen-up position) of the touch position.

  More specifically, the drawing direction specifying unit 118 selects a direction closest to the direction of the input shape recognized as the linear shape from the first to Nth directions (N is an integer of 4 or more). Thus, the linear drawing direction is specified. For example, it is assumed that the first, second, third, and fourth directions are directions of 0 degrees, 90 degrees, 180, and 270 degrees, respectively, with respect to the horizontal direction. In this case, for example, when the direction of the linear shape is within a range of 315 degrees to 45 degrees, the first direction is selected, and when the direction is within a range of 45 degrees to 135 degrees, the second direction is selected. The third direction is selected when it is within the range of 135 degrees to 225 degrees, and the fourth direction is selected when it is within the range of 225 degrees to 315 degrees. The selected direction is set as a linear direction.

The hit check unit 119 performs hit check processing for the moving object. Specifically, when the shape recognition unit 117 recognizes that the input shape is a linear shape, it is determined whether or not the moving object has hit the recognized linear shape. This hit check process can be realized, for example, by using a linear shape start point or end point (a vector connecting the start point and end point) and a hit point (hit box) set for the representative point of the moving object or the moving object. Further, the straight line shape subject to hit check with the moving object may be a direction pattern (a line segment or vector in the first to Nth directions) corresponding to the input shape of the player, or the input shape of the player itself. May be,
When the hit check unit 119 determines that the moving object has hit the linear shape, the movement control unit 111 changes the moving direction of the moving object according to the drawing direction specified by the drawing direction specifying unit 118. Process. Specifically, the moving direction of the moving object is directed to the linear drawing direction or a direction close to the drawing direction, or the moving direction is gradually changed.

  More specifically, for example, the drawing direction specifying unit 118 selects the Kth (1 ≦ K ≦ N) direction as the direction closest to the input shape (linear shape) direction from the first to Nth directions. Suppose you select it. In this case, the movement control unit 111 directs the moving direction of the moving object in the Kth direction or a direction close to the Kth direction, or gradually changes the moving direction.

  The hit check unit 119 determines whether the touch input position (instructed position, pen down position) input by the player using the touch panel display 190 is located within the hit area including the position of the moving object. Here, the hit area may be the shape of the moving object itself, or may be a hit box such as a polygon, a circle, a rectangular parallelepiped, or a sphere that approximates the shape of the moving object. And this hit check process is realizable by performing the inside / outside determination process whether a touch input position is located in a hit area.

  When it is determined that the touch input position of the player is located within the hit area, the movement control unit 111 performs control to stop the movement of the moving object. Note that the control (deceleration control) for limiting the movement of the moving object may be performed without completely stopping the movement of the moving object. Further, when the moving object is stopped, the moving object may be caused to perform a stop animation (motion).

  In addition, the movement control unit 111 causes the player's touch input position to be dragged while the player's touch input position is within the hit area of the moving object (after the movement of the moving object is stopped or restricted). In the case of movement, control is performed to move the moving object in the drag direction (movement direction). That is, when the player's pen or fingertip moves while touching the moving object (hit area) on the touch panel display 190, the moving object is moved in the moving direction.

  In the present embodiment, when it is determined that the moving object has moved outside the game field of the touch panel display 190, the display control unit 110 performs a process of eliminating the moving object. Specifically, a process of deleting a moving object that has moved out of the game field from the object list (object management list, character management list) is performed.

  The image generation unit 120 performs drawing processing based on the results of various processing (game processing) performed by the processing unit 100, thereby generating an image and outputting the image to the touch panel display 190 and the display 191. In this case, the image generated by the image generation unit 120 may be a so-called two-dimensional image or a three-dimensional image. When generating a three-dimensional image, first, geometric processing such as coordinate transformation (world coordinate transformation, camera coordinate transformation), clipping processing, or perspective transformation is performed, and based on the processing result, drawing data (primitive The position coordinates of the vertices of the surface, texture coordinates, color data, normal vectors or α values) are created. Based on the drawing data (primitive surface data), the object (one or a plurality of primitive surfaces) after perspective transformation (after geometry processing) is stored as image data in units of pixels such as a drawing buffer 172 (frame buffer, intermediate buffer, etc.) Can be drawn in a VRAM). Thereby, an image that can be seen from the virtual camera (given viewpoint) in the object space is generated.

  The sound generation unit 130 performs sound processing based on the results of various processes performed by the processing unit 100, generates game sounds such as BGM, sound effects, or sounds, and outputs the game sounds to the sound output unit 192.

  Note that the image generation system of the present embodiment may be a system dedicated to the single player mode in which only one player can play, or may be a system having a multiplayer mode in which a plurality of players can play. Further, when a plurality of players play, game images and game sounds to be provided to the plurality of players may be generated using one terminal, or connected via a network (transmission line, communication line) or the like. Alternatively, it may be generated by distributed processing using a plurality of terminals (game machine, mobile phone).

2. Next, the method of this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following, the case where the present embodiment is applied to a game in which a player character hits an enemy character and eats the enemy character to obtain a score will be described, but the game to which the present embodiment can be applied is such a game. It is not limited.

2.1 Operation by Touch Panel Display FIG. 3 shows an example of a game image generated by this embodiment. The game field G1 is displayed on the touch panel display 190 (first display), and the game field G2 is displayed on the display 191 (second display). The player generates a player character PC (character or moving object in a broad sense) in the game field G1 by handwriting input (input by hand or pen) using the touch panel display 190. The generated player character PC moves on the game field G1. Specifically, the player character PC moves in the direction D1, which is the direction in which the mouth of the player character PC is open. Further, when the player inputs a straight line shape by handwriting using the touch panel display 190 and the player character PC hits the straight line shape, the moving direction of the PC changes in the straight line shape drawing direction (direction from the start point to the end point). To do. When the player touches the hit area (given range, hit box) including the position of the player character PC with a pen or a fingertip, the player character PC stops at that position.

  In this way, the player generates a player character PC by handwriting input using the touch panel display 190 and operates the moving direction of the PC using the touch panel display 190. When the player character PC hits the enemy character EC, the PC eats EC and the player's score is added. In this case, the hit check can be realized by using a hit area (hit box such as a rectangle or circle) set in the PC or a hit area (hit box) set in the EC.

  Next, a shape input method using the touch panel display 190 will be described with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 4, PA0 is the start point (pen-down position) of the touch position, and PA8 is the end point (pen-up position) of the touch position. When the player performs a touch input, coordinate data of the touch positions PA0 to PA8 is acquired, for example, every frame (predetermined period). Then, line segments LA0 to LA7 between touch positions are obtained, and angles θA1 to θA7 between the line segments are obtained. For example, a line segment LA0 between the touch positions PA0 and PA1 and a line segment LA1 between PA1 and PA2 are obtained, and angle data θA1 between LA0 and LA1 that is an angle formed by the line segments LA0 and LA1 is obtained. The coordinate data of the touch positions PA0 to PA8 and the angle data θA1 to θA7 are stored and saved in the input shape storage unit 176 as input shape data.

  Next, matching processing is performed between the input shape and a shape pattern registered in advance as dictionary data. Examples of shape patterns are shown in A1, A2, and A3 in FIG. In FIG. 5, A1 is a straight line, A2 is a circle, and A3 is a shape pattern of a character (moving object). These shape patterns are a collection of angle data θB1 to θB7.

  The matching process between the input shape and the shape pattern is realized by calculating similarity between the angle data θA1 to θA7 of the input shape and the angle data θB1 to θB7 of the shape pattern (model shape). If the number of angle data of the input shape is not the same as the number of angle data of the shape pattern, the similarity calculation (matching process) is performed by performing the interpolation process and the thinning process so that these numbers are the same. Can be done. When it is determined that the similarity (correlation) between the input shape and the specific shape pattern is high, it is determined that the input shape matches the specific shape pattern. For example, if it is determined that the input shape matches the shape patterns of A1, A2, and A3 in FIG. 5, the input shapes are determined to be straight lines, circles, and character shapes, respectively.

  Then, for example, when it is determined that the input shape of the player is the linear shape of A1 in FIG. 5 and the player character PC hits the linear shape, the PC moves in the drawing direction of the linear shape (from the start point to the end point). The direction changes. If it is determined that the input shape is the character shape of A3 in FIG. 5, the player character PC is generated and displayed in the game field G1 of the touch panel display 190 as shown in FIG. The player can generate a plurality of player characters in the game field G1, but a higher score can be obtained by generating only one player character and hitting an enemy character.

2.2 Movement Control of Player Character Next, details of movement control of the player character (character, moving object in a broad sense) will be described. In this embodiment, as shown by B1 in FIG. 6, the player causes the PC to appear on the game field by drawing the player character PC with a single stroke on the touch panel display. Then, the appearing player character PC moves (goes straight) toward the traveling direction which is the direction of the mouth. Specifically, when the player character PC is drawn as shown in B2 of FIG. 6, the PC moves (goes straight) in the right direction DR1. Similarly, when the player character PC is drawn as shown in B3, B4, and B5 in FIG. 6, the PC moves (goes straight) in the downward direction DR2, the left direction DR3, and the upward direction DR4, respectively.

  In this embodiment, when the player character touches a line drawn by the player on the touch panel display, the player character turns 90 degrees in the direction of drawing the line (direction of the end point).

  Specifically, as shown by C1 in FIG. 7, when the player draws a straight line shape SL (line segment) and the player character PC (moving object) hits SL, the PC is drawn in the SL drawing direction (drawing direction). The moving direction changes (changes direction). For example, in C2 of FIG. 7, the SL drawing direction DD2, which is the direction from the start point to the end point, is downward. Accordingly, in this case, the moving direction of the player character PC changes (changes direction) in the downward direction DR2. In C3 of FIG. 7, the SL drawing direction DD4 is upward. Accordingly, in this case, the moving direction of the player character PC changes (changes direction) in the upward direction DR4. Similarly, when the player character PC hits the linear shape SL whose drawing direction is the left direction, the movement direction of the PC changes to the left, and when the PC hits SL whose drawing direction is the right direction, the movement direction of the PC Changes to the right.

  More specifically, in the present embodiment, when the input shape of the player is recognized as a straight line shape (line segment), processing for specifying the drawing direction of the straight line shape (line segment) is performed. And as shown to E1 of FIG. 8, it is the closest to the direction of an input shape (straight line) out of the first to fourth directions (first to Nth directions in a broad sense) DR1, DR2, DR3, DR4. The drawing direction is specified by selecting the direction. Specifically, in E1 of FIG. 8, when the direction of the input shape (straight line) is within the range of the angle α1 (315 to 45 degrees), the first direction DR1 is selected and within the range of α2 ( 45 degrees to 135 degrees), the second direction DR2 is selected, and within the range of α3 (135 degrees to 225 degrees), the third direction DR3 is selected, and within the range of α4 ( In the case of (225 degrees to 315 degrees), the fourth direction DR4 is selected. The selected direction is set as a linear drawing direction.

  As shown in E2 of FIG. 8, first to eighth directions DR1 to DR8 are prepared, and a straight line shape is drawn by selecting a direction closest to the input shape (straight line) direction from DR1 to DR8. The direction may be specified. Thus, the number (N) of directions prepared for specifying the linear drawing direction is arbitrary.

  In FIG. 7, the movement directions DR2 and DR4 of the player character PC are made to coincide with the drawing directions DD2 and DD4 of the linear shape SL, but only the PC movement direction is brought closer to the SL drawing direction without being made coincident. Also good. For example, in C2 of FIG. 7, the drawing direction DD2 is downward, but at this time, the moving direction of the player character PC may be changed to, for example, diagonally lower right. Further, although the drawing direction DD2 is upward in C3 of FIG. 7, the moving direction of the PC may be changed to, for example, a diagonal upper right direction at this time. In this way, the moving direction of the player character PC may be changed in a direction corresponding to the specified drawing direction.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the PC appears by drawing the player character PC on the touch panel display, and the moving direction of the PC also changes depending on the drawing method. Therefore, it is possible to give the player a feeling that “the picture he / she has drawn” starts moving, and to realize a game that has never existed before.

  In this embodiment, when the player character PC hits a straight line shape (line segment) SL drawn by the player, the moving direction of the PC changes (changes direction) in accordance with the drawing direction of SL. Therefore, it is possible to give the player a feeling that the player character PC changes its moving direction by hitting a straight line. Whether to move upward or downward, or whether to move rightward or leftward, is specified by the drawing direction. Therefore, the player can operate the movement of the player character PC only by drawing a simple figure with the pen. As a result, an intuitive and easy-to-understand operation interface environment can be provided to the player, and a game that can be enjoyed by any age group player can be realized.

  In order to increase the fun of the game, for example, when a figure is drawn with a pen, the ink amount of the pen is consumed as the drawing amount (the length of drawing a line), and the game is over when the ink amount becomes zero. May be. Further, when the pen touches the enemy character on the game field, the drawn line may be erased.

2.3 Stopping and Dragging of Player Character In this embodiment, as shown by F1 in FIG. 9, when a part of the body of the player character PC (moving object) is pressed with a pen (or fingertip), the player character tries to go straight in the advancing direction. The player character PC to be played can be stopped (decelerated). At this time, when the pen is moved away from the touch panel display, the player character PC starts moving again. On the other hand, if the pen touch position is moved without releasing the pen from the touch panel display, the player character PC can be dragged as shown by F2 in FIG.

  More specifically, in this embodiment, it is determined whether or not the coordinates of the touch input position (pen, fingertip) input by the player using the touch panel display are within the hit area (hit box) of the player character PC. The When it is determined that the player character is within the hit area, the movement of the player character stops as indicated by F1 in FIG.

  Then, when the touch input position of the player is located within the hit area of the player character PC and the touch input position moves, the player character PC drags and moves as indicated by F2 in FIG.

  In this way, the player stops the movement of the player character PC that arbitrarily moves in the traveling direction (the direction in which the mouth is facing), and the PC goes out of the game field and disappears. Can be prevented.

  For example, at H1 in FIG. 10, the player character PC is approaching the edge SD of the touch panel display. Accordingly, the player character PC goes out of the touch panel display and disappears as it is.

  Even in such a case, as shown in H1 of FIG. 10, in this embodiment, the PC can be stopped by touching the player character PC with a pen, and the PC is prevented from going out of the touch panel display. be able to.

  However, in H1 of FIG. 10, the distance between the player character PC and the edge SD of the touch panel display is very close. Accordingly, it is difficult to draw a straight line between the player character PC and the edge SD to change the direction of movement of the PC as shown in FIG.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown by H2 in FIG. 10, the PC can be moved in the drag direction by dragging the player character PC while touching the pen.

  In this way, the player drags and moves the player character PC by a certain distance, and then draws a straight line between the PC and the edge SD as shown at H3 in FIG. 10 to change the direction of PC movement. It becomes possible to do. As a result, the player can prevent the player character PC from going out of the touch panel display and disappear with a simple operation, and the operation interface environment of the player can be improved.

2.4 Movement Permission Conditions As shown in FIG. 11, when the number of enemy characters EC hit by the player character PC reaches a predetermined number, the doors (obstacles) 10 and 12 displayed on the game field G2 of the display 191 are displayed. The image changes. Specifically, a door that is not provided with a key (key hole) is changed to a door with a key. A special item 20 is displayed in the game field G2. Furthermore, a key character KC possessing the keys of the doors 10 and 12 appears in the game field G1. In addition, the time limit represented by the time gauge 30 starts to be counted.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 12, if the player succeeds in making the player character PC hit the key character KC within the time limit displayed on the time gauge 30, the condition for permitting movement from the game field G1 to the game field G2 is set. It is filled. As a result, the doors 10 and 12 that are obstacles disappear and disappear, and the player character PC can move from the game field G1 to G2.

  When a passage condition described later is satisfied, the player character PC moves from the game field G1 to G2 as shown in FIG. At this time, enlargement / reduction processing of the player character PC is performed so as to match the size of the passage route. The player character PC that has moved to the game field G2 can acquire bonus points by hitting the special item 20. Then, the player character PC automatically moves on the game field G2, and automatically returns from the game field G2 to G1. When the player character PC returns to the game field G2, for example, the obstacles 10 and 12 appear again and are displayed, and the PC cannot move from G1 to G2.

  In FIG. 13, when the player character PC moves from the game field G1 to G2, a process for causing the PC to acquire the special item 20 (given item) is performed. However, the present embodiment is not limited to this. For example, when the PC moves from G1 to G2, a process of changing the score or points may be performed. Specifically, the player's score or points are increased or decreased. Alternatively, processing for changing the status of the player character PC may be performed. Specifically, the ability and level of the player character PC (player) are increased or decreased. Or you may perform the process for making a player play the game of the content different from the game field G1. For example, a game in which the player character PC is hit by the enemy character EC is performed in the game field G1, but in the game field G2, a game different from the game in the G1 (for example, a game for competing for the number of items acquired, a course running time) Game, maze game, mini game, card game, puzzle game, etc.).

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the movement permission condition is satisfied, the player character PC can move from the game field G1 to G2. This makes it possible to increase the variety of games by effectively using the two displays.

  In other words, in the image generation system so far, even if the display has two displays, the player can play the game on the first display, and the score can be displayed on the second display. We did not use effectively.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the second display 191 can be effectively used not only as a display of a score or the like but also as a game field of the player character PC. Thereby, the variety of games can be increased, and a game that has not existed before can be realized. In addition, even in a case where the game play of the game field G1 is monotonous, by making it possible to move to the game field G2 each time the movement permission condition is satisfied, such a monotonous game play can be achieved. The problem can be solved.

  It should be noted that various modifications can be made for the setting of the movement permission condition, the processing performed when the movement permission condition is satisfied, and the like. For example, when the movement permission condition is satisfied, the player character PC may be moved unconditionally to the game field G1 or G2 even when the passage condition of the passage route is not satisfied.

2.5 Passing Condition In the present embodiment, whether the passing condition for the player character PC (moving object) to pass through the passing path from the game field G1 to the game field G2 is satisfied when the movement permission condition is satisfied. Judge whether or not. Then, the PC is moved from G1 to G2 on condition that the passage condition is satisfied.

  FIG. 14A shows a specific example of the passage condition determination method. In FIG. 14A, a hit determination area HA for passage determination is set corresponding to the passage route 80. Then, a hit check between the hit area HA for passage determination and the player character PC is performed. More specifically, the coordinates of the representative point RP of the player character PC are compared with the coordinates of the hit area HA. Then, when the Y coordinate YR of the representative point RP matches the Y coordinate of the hit area HA, it is determined whether or not the value of the X coordinate XR of the representative point RP is a value between the X coordinates XA and XB of the hit area HA. To do. If XR <XA or XR> XB, the player character PC determines that the player character PC has gone out of the game field G1, and performs a process of extinguishing the PC. That is, the player character PC is deleted from the object list. On the other hand, if XA ≦ XR ≦ XB, it is determined that the player character PC has hit the hit area HA, and it is determined that the passing condition is satisfied. Then, the player character PC is moved from the game field G1 to G2.

  If it is determined whether not only the movement permission condition but also the passage condition is satisfied and the player character PC is moved from the game field G1 to G2, the movement from the G1 to the G2 through the passage route is performed. This makes it possible to give the player a sense of playing, enhancing the player's virtual reality and increasing the fun of the game.

  Note that the determination method of the passage condition is not limited to the method of FIG. For example, when the player character PC is a three-dimensional object, a hit check for determining passage conditions may be performed using a two-dimensional plane or a three-dimensional solid as the hit area HA. Further, a hit check for determining passage conditions may be performed using a hit box set for the player character PC instead of the representative point RP of the player character PC.

  Further, when the player character PC passes through the passage route 80, the size and shape of the player character PC may be changed according to the passage route 80. For example, in FIG. 14B, the size of the player character PC is reduced (or enlarged) in accordance with the size of the passage route 80.

  That is, in this embodiment, the player character PC is generated by handwriting input by the player. Accordingly, characters of various sizes are generated as the player character PC. For this reason, when the player draws a player character PC having a large size, a situation may occur in which the player cannot pass through the passage route 80 or the image becomes unnatural. In this regard, the occurrence of such a situation can be prevented by performing an enlargement / reduction process as shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 14B, the size of the player character PC is changed, but the shape of the player character PC itself may be changed. For example, when the passage route 80 is a thin and long route, the shape of the player character PC may be changed to an elongated shape. Further, when moving from the game field G1 to G2, the motion and animation of the player character PC may be changed.

  14A and 14B, the method of moving the player character PC from the game field G1 to G2 by determining the passage conditions can be variously modified. For example, the player character PC may be moved from the game field G1 to G2 by determining only the passage condition without determining the movement permission condition.

3. Processing of the present embodiment Next, detailed processing examples of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 15, 16, 17, and 18. FIG.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart of input shape recognition processing. First, it is determined whether or not the pen (fingertip) has touched the touch panel display (whether or not the pen is down) (step S11). When the pen touches the touch panel display, the coordinate data of the touch position is acquired for each frame (predetermined period) as described in FIG. 4 (step S12). Further, the coordinate data of the touch position and the angle data of the line segment connecting the touch positions are stored (saved) as input shape data (step S13).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the pen (fingertip) has left the touch panel display (whether or not the pen is up) (step S14). When the pen moves away from the touch panel display, matching processing between the input shape (angle data) and the shape pattern (angle data) registered in the dictionary is performed as described in FIG. 5 (step S15). . Then, it is determined whether or not the input shape matches the shape pattern and the shape is recognized (step S16). If not recognized, the process returns to step S11. On the other hand, if it is recognized, a process according to the recognized shape type is performed (step S17). For example, when the recognized shape is a straight line shape, a hit check between the straight line shape and the player character is performed, and a process of moving the player character in a direction corresponding to the direction of the straight line shape is performed. If the recognized shape is a character shape, a process for generating and displaying a player character corresponding to the input shape is performed.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart of processing performed when the input shape is recognized as a linear shape.

  First, the coordinates of the start point and end point of the recognized linear shape are acquired (step S21). That is, the start and end touch positions are acquired from the touch positions stored in step S13 in FIG.

  Next, a vector connecting the start point and the end point is calculated (step S22). Then, as described in E1 of FIG. 8, the drawing direction, which is the calculated vector direction, is identified from any of the four directions, up, down, left, and right (step S23). Then, the drawing direction data of the specified linear shape is associated (linked) with the linear shape and stored in the drawing direction storage unit (step S24).

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart of player character movement control processing using a linear shape. First, player character movement processing is performed (step S31). For example, when the player character is moved at a given speed (constant speed), the player character is moved in the traveling direction by a distance (constant distance) corresponding to the speed.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the player character has gone out of the game field (step S32). If the player character has gone out, the player character disappearing process is performed (step S33). That is, the player character is deleted from the object list (character management list).

  On the other hand, if the player character is not out of the game field, it is determined whether or not the player character hits the linear shape drawn by the player (step S34). At this time, for example, when the player draws a plurality of linear shapes, a hit check with the player character is performed for each of the linear shapes. When the player character is hit, the drawing direction of the hit linear shape is acquired (step S35). Specifically, the linear drawing direction data stored in step S24 of FIG. 16 is read out. Then, as described with reference to FIG. 7, the moving direction of the player is determined with reference to the linear drawing direction (step S36).

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the player character stop / drag control process. First, player character movement processing is performed (step S41). Then, it is determined whether or not the player character has gone out of the game field (step S42). If the player character has gone out, the player character disappearing process is performed (step S43).

  On the other hand, if the player character is not out of the game field, it is determined whether or not there is a pen input (touch position) in the hit area of the player character (step S44). If there is a pen input, a stop flag is set and the player character is stopped (step S45).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the pen touching the player character has left the touch panel display (step S46). If it is away, the stop flag set in step S45 is reset (step S47). On the other hand, if not away, it is determined whether or not the pen touching the player character has been dragged (step S48). If it has been dragged, the player character is moved in the drag direction (step S49).

  The present invention is not limited to that described in the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. For example, terms (player characters, first to second) cited as broad or synonymous terms (moving objects, first to Nth directions, first display, second display, etc.) in the description or drawings. The fourth direction, touch panel display, display, and the like) can be replaced with terms having a broad meaning or the same meaning in other descriptions in the specification or the drawings.

  Further, the moving direction change process, the stop control process, the drag movement process, and the input shape recognition process of the moving object are not limited to those described in the present embodiment, and techniques equivalent to these are also included in the scope of the present invention. Can be included. For example, the moving direction control of the moving object may be realized by a method different from the method described with reference to FIGS.

  Further, the present invention can be applied to various games other than the game described in the present embodiment. In addition, the present invention also provides various kinds of images such as a business game device, a home game device, a portable game device, a large attraction in which a large number of players participate, a simulator, a multimedia terminal, a system board for generating a game image, and a mobile phone.
