A first step of reading a plurality of units from the memory; a second step of reading a game parameter value set for each unit from the memory; and one or more units among the plurality of units. The third step of selecting a group based on an input signal from the user input device to form a group and the game parameter values of individual units belonging to the group are combined and defined as the total parameter value of the group For the fourth step and the group, the input signal from the user input device and the sum parameter A game process is executed based on the data value, and a fifth step of decreasing the total parameter value when a predetermined condition is satisfied is compared with the defined total parameter value and the decreased total parameter value And a sixth step of determining whether or not to continue the game process for all units belonging to the group according to the comparison result, a game application program configured to perform It is a feature.

  According to the present invention, the total value of the decrease of the game parameter value for each unit belonging to the group is compared with the defined summed parameter, and the game processing is performed for each unit belonging to the group according to the comparison result. Can prevent the unit from leaving the group during the game process without disrupting the game development, such as raising the health value of some units belonging to the group. Can do.

  Further, according to a second aspect of the present invention, an operation target is stored in a memory of a game device including a data processing controller and a user input device, and an operation target is stored in the image processing controller based on an input signal from the user input device. A first step of reading a plurality of defined units from the memory, a second step of reading game parameter values set for each unit from the memory, and at least one unit are set in the unit. A third step of executing a game process based on the game parameter; a fourth step of continuing the game process for the unit until the game parameter value is reduced to a predetermined value; and It is classified as a subordinate unit, and one or more subordinate units for the main unit. A fifth step of forming a group of units by selecting Tsu bets were to carry out the, characterized in that it is a game application program.

  According to the present invention, since the restriction as in the fifth step is added to constructing the group of units, data processing that eliminates monotony as a game is realized.

  The control unit 7 executes a game program stored in the external recording medium 8, controls the entire system, and an image processing circuit that generates image information based on information resources, and is necessary for the CPU 71 to perform processing. RAM 73 in which programs and data are stored, ROM 72 in which programs and data necessary for starting game device 100 are stored, and other game devices are received by communication to communicate with other game devices. A communication interface 77 which is an information receiving circuit for performing a battle between them, a sound controller 76 as sound effect generating means for generating sound effects according to the behavior of the operation object, and the operation object are displayed on the screen of the main monitor 2 A main monitor graphic controller 74 as a display control circuit for performing control An operation unit screen operation unit monitor graphic controller 75 for performing control to display an image on the monitor 3 is configured to include a.

    FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram for explaining the contents of the game process. The game process is executed by the game application program stored in the above-described external recording medium. In this game, a group is formed by combining a person's card (main card) and a dinosaur card (subordinate card), and a group battle is played between players (player A and player B). Here, the card is not a card as a paper medium but a card displayed on the screen of the game machine.

  People and dinosaurs are card characters. A card to which a character (operation target) is attached corresponds to the unit described in the claims. The operation target may be, for example, “skill” other than the character. The player can obtain the operation target defined in the card by designating the card (unit).

  Each card is set with a game parameter value consisting of attack power and physical strength. When fighting between cards, the attack value is subtracted from the physical strength value of the attacked side, and if the physical strength value remains, the battle between cards continues and the physical strength value is consumed The battle ends. Attacks and defenses in a battle are alternately switched between players.

  As shown in FIG. 2, for each of the players A and B, “Deck card: a data group that is a collection of cards selected in advance by each user”, “Hand: card distributed from the deck: each user's hand is “Cannot be seen by other users who are opponents.”, “Place cards: cards placed in a battle field between players” are set. The battle of characters shown on each card is displayed as an effect screen as a battle between characters. The place tag is displayed on the main monitor, and the place tag of the opponent player can be confirmed. The hand is displayed on the sub monitor. You can't see your opponent's hand.

  In FIG. 2, cards 300, 301, and 302 on the player A side constitute a group, and the card 303 does not constitute a group. The cards 304 and 305 on the player B side constitute a group. The card 306 and the card 307 do not constitute a group.

  That is, the player A puts out four cards 300, 301, 302, and 303 from the hand to the place card, of which the card 300 is a main card and the 301, 302, and 303 are subordinate cards. At this time, the player A comes into play as a unit A1 of a group consisting of 300, 301 and 302, and the remaining 303 as a single unit A2. At this time, Player B has put out four cards 304, 305, 306, and 307 from the hand to the place tag, of which the card 304 is a main card and 305, 306, and 307 are subordinate cards. At this time, player B comes into play as unit B1 of a group consisting of two pieces 304 and 305, and the remaining two pieces 306 and 307 come into play as single units B2 and B3, respectively. By configuring a group, the attack power and physical strength values of each card are summed, and the total value becomes the group parameter value. FIG. 3A is a characteristic table of player A's card parameters. (2) is a parameter of player B's card. FIG. 4A is a schematic diagram illustrating the shape of the character on the card surface of player A, and FIG. 4B is a schematic diagram illustrating the character shape of the card surface of player B. The main card shows the figure A to B, and the subordinate card shows the dinosaur statue A to F. The parameter values of the figure card and the dinosaur card are set differently. Note that a predetermined decorative image is shown on the back of the card, not a character.

  Returning to FIG. 3, as described in (1) and (2), the dinosaur card is divided into any attribute such as red, blue, and yellow. As shown in (1), the possessed character skill is a special ability determined in advance for a person card, and is activated for a person card only when a dinosaur card with a specific attribute is combined with each person card. Special Dinosaur Skills are special abilities that are pre-determined for dinosaur cards, and a specific attribute (for example, the same type of attribute) card is combined in a group that contains each dinosaur card. It is a special process that is activated for dinosaur cards only when

  FIG. 3 (3) shows that the game parameter is strengthened for the card group (A1) of FIG. By combining the cards 300, 301, and 302, the attack power / physical strength of each of the cards is 20, 50, 60, but the entire group is strengthened to (20 + 50 + 60) = 130. That is, each character attached to each of the cards 300, 301, and 302 has a maximum of 130 attack power and physical strength. (4) is a game parameter value in the group when it is assumed that the cards 300 and 301 are combined with the card 303 instead of the card 302. (5) is a game parameter value of the game player B group B1.

In the conventional method, when the character of one card receives attacks from the characters of the cards of other players multiple times and the reduced game parameter value falls below a predetermined value, the card can be used for the progress of the game. It was gone.
For example, when the character “Dinosaur A” defined in the card 301 is attacked by the character “Dinosaur D” defined in the card 305, the game parameter value of the character card 301 is the physical strength-attack power (50-50). = 0, and the user can no longer use the character defined on the card 301 thereafter.

However, in this method, the character card 301 is mainly the character card 300 and is a group A1 unit together with the character card 302, so the physical strength is (20 + 50 + 60) = 130. (130−50) = 80 even if defended, this character cannot be used.
Even in this case, if the remaining physical strength becomes 0 or less due to the next opponent's attack, all the cards belonging to the unit A1 of the group cannot be used. In such a case, if you want to preserve A1, which is a group unit, you can avoid them by using units A2 and A3 consisting of other single characters instead of A1 for defense. If you want to make a group out of your hand, you may run out of subordinate cards, which allows players to enjoy deep strategy.

Also, in this case, comparing the combination of (3) with the combination of (4), (3) satisfies the owning character skill trigger condition and the owning dinosaur skill trigger condition, so the character card Since both the special ability set to 300 and the special ability set to the character cards 301 and 302 can be used, it is possible to advance the battle more advantageously than (4) depending on how each special ability is used. . On the other hand, the special ability of each card cannot be used because (4) does not satisfy the triggering conditions of each special ability, but in this case (3) in a simple battle taking advantage of the characteristics of high attack power and physical strength. ) Can advance the battle more advantageously.
Groups can be constructed between primary cards and subordinate cards. A group cannot be formed between main cards and subordinate cards. Therefore, the player can enjoy searching for a highly strategic combination in consideration of the effective combination of the main card and the subordinate card and the ratio of both when selecting a card to be a place tag.

  Due to these features, the player can enjoy a deeper strategy compared to the conventional one when performing a battle using a hand and a field tag or when building a deck.

  Next, an operation flowchart of the game apparatus will be described with reference to FIG. The CPU reads a game application program from an external recording medium (memory card, CD, DVD, etc.) (400). Next, upon accepting the player's operation, the CPU 71 registers the hand in a predetermined area of the RAM 73 (402). In response to the player's operation, the CPU 71 registers the place tag in a predetermined area of the RAM 73 (404). Next, upon accepting the player's operation, the CPU 71 registers the main card / subordinate card in the predetermined area of the RAM 73 (406). The CPU 71 reads information set in the main card, extracts a subordinate card that can be combined with the main card from the place tag, and displays it on the sub-monitor. Information on the type and number of subordinate cards combined for each main card is stored in a recording medium in the form of a control table. Referring to FIG. 2, the number of subordinate cards 302 combined with the main card 300 is two. The CPU 71 creates a group by combining the main card and the subordinate card, and registers this information in a predetermined area of the RAM (408).

  Further, the CPU 71 checks the combination of the main card and the subordinate card (410), and if this combination corresponds to a preset combination, the character of the main card and the subordinate card is subjected to a battle. Execute special processing such as enabling special skills. Next, the CPU 71 and the opponent players perform a battle process between the characters defined in the card based on the card information selected from the group (412). The battle process is executed by calculating the attack power and the physical strength based on the game parameters of the card, and the CPU 71 generates video data and audio data for the battle and outputs them to the controller 74-76. To do. This process continues until the match is over.

  In the above-described embodiment, it is possible to form a group from the place cards. However, after combining certain conditions, a group is formed from the cards in the hand and this is used as a group unit at one time. As such, it may be shown to other players. Alternatively, each card may be an actual paper medium card, a card reader may be added to the game device, and game parameter values and character characteristics defined in the card may be input to the game device.
