  Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described. In addition, this embodiment demonstrated below does not unduly limit the content of this invention described in the claim. In addition, all the configurations described in the present embodiment are not necessarily essential configuration requirements of the present invention.

1. FIG. 9 shows an example of the game screen displayed on the screen of the display unit 22 of the game system 20 to which the first game of the present embodiment is applied, and the operation unit 24. As shown in FIG. 9, in the game system 20, the player character CH1 operated by the player and the opponent character CH2 operated by the opponent (real player or computer player) are displayed on the display unit 22. The selection button 24-1 of the operation unit 24 is associated with a parcel of janken attribute, the selection button 24-2 is associated with choki, and the selection button 24-3 is associated with goo.

  Then, when the player presses one of the three selection buttons 24-1 to 24-3 and selects and sets the janken attribute (second parameter) to be his own player, the player himself / herself at the position corresponding to the player character CH1. An attribute icon IC1 indicating the janken attribute set as the originator is displayed. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, when the player presses the selection button 24-1 associated with the par janken attribute, an attribute icon IC1 indicating the par janken attribute is displayed at the position corresponding to the player character CH1. Is displayed. Similarly, at a position corresponding to the opponent character CH2, an attribute icon IC2 indicating a janken attribute set as an outgoing player of the opponent is displayed.

  Here, in the present embodiment, as for the janken attribute (second parameter), the relative superiority or inferiority relationship is predetermined in a cyclic manner (so-called triple relationship). That is, par is superior to goo, goo is superior to choki, and choki is superior to par.

  In addition, a power value meter PM1 indicating the power value of the player character CH1 is displayed at the top of the screen. The power value meter PM1 has an initial value of 0, and display control is performed so that the colored portion of the power value meter PM1 increases while any of the selection buttons 24-1 to 24-3 is pressed. The That is, the player can set his own power value according to the pressing time of the selection buttons 24-1 to 24-3.

  When the selection buttons 24-1 to 24-3 are not pressed, display control is performed so that the colored portion of the power value meter PM1 gradually decreases. Further, for example, when the player presses the selection button 24-1 to increase the power value and then presses another selection button 24-2, the power value is reset to 0, and the power value meter PM1 The display of the power value is also controlled to 0. The display of the power value meter PM2 indicating the power value of the opponent character CH2 is similarly controlled.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the power value is the first stage when the power value meter PM1 is less than half and the second stage when the power value meter PM1 is more than half and less than the maximum value MAX. The power value meter PM1 is set to three stages of the third stage when the maximum value MAX is set, and the relative superiority or inferiority of each stage is predetermined in one direction. That is, the stage of the power value is set as the first parameter, and the stage with the larger power value becomes dominant. In the example of FIG. 9, the power value of the player character CH1 is the first stage, and the power value of the opponent character CH2 is the second stage.

  In addition, a timer display TM for counting down the time limit for one confrontation is displayed at the upper center of the screen. In the present embodiment, the reception time of the input signal from the selection buttons 24-1 to 24-3 in one confrontation is 5 seconds, and the player changes his / her janken attribute any number of times within the reception time. Can be set. When the timer display TM becomes 0, the superiority or inferiority relationship between the players is determined based on the power value level (first parameter) and the janken attribute (second parameter) set for each player. .

  Also, above the power value meters PM1 and PM2, stamina value meters SM1 and SM2 indicating status parameter values related to the game results of the respective players are displayed. The physical strength value meters SM1 and SM2 are displayed so as to decrease each time it is determined that the initial value is the maximum value and is inferior based on the determination result. That is, a character determined to be inferior receives damage and loses a strength value of 0.

  In this embodiment, the superiority or inferiority between players is determined by the following characteristic processing. First, when the power value level of one player is dominant over the power value level of the other player, it is determined that one player is dominant (first parameter determination process). Therefore, when the game is started and reception of input signals from the selection buttons 24-1 to 24-3 is started, the player immediately continues to select one of the selection buttons 24-1 to 24-3. If you start pressing and raise the level of the power value, it becomes dominant.

  However, in the present embodiment, the reception time is 5 seconds, whereas in about 3 seconds, the power value stage reaches the maximum value MAX and is clamped in the third stage. Then, since there is no superiority or inferiority relationship between the power values of each player, in this case, superiority or inferiority is determined based on the junken attribute of each player (second parameter determination processing).

  Here, a player who is inferior in the janken attribute can change his janken attribute to the dominant janken attribute by looking at the janken attribute of the opponent. However, if the janken attribute is changed, that is, if the other selection buttons 24-1 to 24-3 are changed and selected, the power value is reset to zero. Therefore, if the selection buttons 24-1 to 24-3 are changed and selected after the elapse of 2 seconds from the start of reception, the power value level is changed unless the opponent selects the selection buttons 24-1 to 24-3. Is determined to be inferior by the first parameter determination process for determining the superiority / inferiority relationship.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the power value stage of one player is the first stage that is the most inferior, and the power value stage of the other player is the third stage that is the most dominant. When the janken attribute of one player is inferior to the janken attribute of the other player, it is determined that one player is dominant (reverse rotation determination process). That is, even if the other player is most dominant at the stage of the power value, it is determined that the player is inferior if it is also dominant in the janken attribute.

  Therefore, if the opponent's power value stage is the most prevalent third stage, and the power value stage cannot be raised to the third stage within the input reception time, the opponent's janken attribute is set. The janken attribute of the self is made inferior, and the pressing of the selection buttons 24-1 to 24-3 is interrupted to lower the level of the power value, or the other selection buttons 24-1 to 24-3 are set. The power value is reset to 0 by pressing, and the power value stage is set to the first stage. Then, even if the power value is inferior, it is determined by the reverse rotation determination process that the player with the inferior janken attribute is dominant.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the player observes the level of the opponent's power value, the junken attribute, and the remaining input reception time, and performs the first parameter determination process, the second parameter determination process, and the reverse rotation determination process. Whether or not it is determined to be dominant is determined. Then, while playing with the opponent, enjoy a strategic and thrilling game in which the selection buttons 24-1 to 24-3 are changed and selected until the input signal reception time is over.

  In the present embodiment, the level of the power value is not limited to three, but may be two, or may be four or more. For example, the power value may be changed to 50 steps, and the power value may be continuously changed in an apparently stepless manner.

  Further, when the status parameter is updated, the status parameter may be updated based on the power value or the power value level set for the player determined to be dominant. For example, the higher the power value or the level of the power value determined to be dominant, the more damage may be given to the opponent.

  Further, when the status parameter is updated, the status parameter may be updated based on the janken attribute set for the player determined to be dominant. For example, if the janken attribute when determined to be dominant is a specific janken attribute, do more damage to the opponent than if determined to be dominant with other janken attributes Also good.

  Further, the power value change characteristics based on the input signals from the selection buttons 24-1 to 24-3 may be changed according to the janken attribute associated with the selection buttons 24-1 to 24-3. . For example, the amount of change in the power value when the selection button 24-1 associated with par janken attribute is pressed is relatively increased, and the selection button 24-3 associated with goo kenken attribute is pressed. Control may be performed so that the amount of change in the power value is relatively small.

  Further, the threshold value for changing the level of the power value may be changed according to the janken attribute associated with the selection buttons 24-1 to 24-3. For example, when the selection button 24-1 associated with the par janken attribute is pressed, the threshold value at which the power value stage changes from the first stage to the second stage is relatively increased, When the selection button 24-2 associated with the janken attribute is pressed, the threshold value at which the power value stage changes from the first stage to the second stage may be relatively lowered. .

  If the selection buttons 24-1 to 24-3 are not pressed, the setting of the janken attribute may be reset. When none of the selection buttons 24-1 to 24-3 is pressed at the end of the reception limit time (during superiority or inferiority determination), it is determined that the junken attribute is not set, and it is determined that it is inferior, or lottery The superiority or inferiority determination may be performed after setting the janken attribute.

  Further, when neither superiority nor inferiority is established with respect to either the first parameter or the second parameter, that is, in this case, the status parameter of each player may be changed disadvantageously.

  Further, the information set as the first parameter is not limited to the power value or the power value stage, and various parameters whose relative superiority and inferiority are predetermined in one direction can be considered. Further, the information set as the second parameter is not limited to the janken attribute, and various parameters whose relative superiority or inferiority is set cyclically (having a tribological relationship) can be considered.

2. Content of Second Game FIG. 10 shows an example of the game screen displayed on the screen of the display unit 32 of the game system 30 to which the second game of the present embodiment is applied, and the operation unit 34. The game system 30 has substantially the same configuration as that of the game system 20 to which the first game is applied. However, in the game system 30, as shown in FIG. Two second selection buttons 34-1 and 34-2 that are associated with the janken attribute (second parameter) are provided. In the present embodiment, the power value meters PM1 and PM2 are in two stages of “large” and “small”.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the relative superiority or inferiority of each of the power value set as the first parameter value and the janken attribute set as the second parameter is predetermined in one direction. Yes. That is, in the power value stage, “large” is more dominant than “small”, and “par” is more dominant than “go” in the janken attribute.

  Also in this embodiment, the superiority or inferiority determination between players is determined by the following characteristic processing. First, when the power value level of one player is dominant over the power value level of the other player, it is determined that one player is dominant (first parameter determination process). However, in this embodiment, the reception time is 5 seconds, whereas the power value level reaches the maximum value in about 3 seconds and is clamped at the maximum value of the “large” level. Then, since there is no superiority or inferiority relationship between the power values of each player, in this case, superiority or inferiority is determined based on the junken attribute of each player (second parameter determination processing).

  Therefore, when the game is started and the reception of the input signal from the selection buttons 34-1 and 34-2 is started, the player immediately selects the selection corresponding to the janken attribute of the par that is dominant in the janken attribute. If the button 34-1 is continuously pressed and the level of the power value is increased, it becomes dominant. However, in any player, if the janken attribute is set to par and the power value stage is set to the “large” stage, there is no superiority or inferiority relationship, and although it is an aiko, it cannot be won. In this case, the status parameter of each player is unfavorably changed.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the power value stage of one player is a “small” stage where it is inferior, and the power value stage of the other player is a “large” stage where it is dominant, When the janken attribute of one player is inferior to the janken attribute of the other player, it is determined that one player is dominant (reverse rotation determination process).

  Therefore, if the opponent's power value level is “high” and the janken attribute is par, the power value level is set to “small” with the janken attribute as goo. Then, it is determined by the reverse rotation determination process that the player whose power value stage and janken attribute are inferior is dominant. Then, the opponent who sees this changes the setting of the janken attribute to goo and sets the power value level to “high”, and performs an operation so as to be dominant by the first parameter determination process.

  As described above, also in the present embodiment, the player can perform the first parameter determination process, the second parameter determination process, and the reverse rotation determination process while watching the power value stage of the opponent, the junken attribute, and the remaining time of input reception. Whether or not it is determined to be dominant is determined. Then, while playing with the opponent, he enjoys a strategic and thrilling game in which the selection buttons 34-1 and 34-2 are changed and selected until the input signal reception time is over.

  In the present embodiment, a modified example and additional processing in the game system 20 to which the first game described above is applied can also be employed.

Alternatively, it can be realized by hardware such as a memory (ROM). The processing unit 100 performs various processes of this embodiment based on a program (data) stored in the information storage medium 180. That is, the information storage medium 180 stores (records and stores) a program for causing the computer to function as each unit of the present embodiment (a program for causing the computer to implement each unit).

  The display unit 202 outputs an image generated by the present embodiment, and its function is a CRT, a liquid crystal display, a plasma display, or a touch panel having both functions of an operation unit and a display unit of an HMD (head mounted display). This can be realized by a mold display unit.

  The communication unit 196 performs various controls for communicating with the outside (for example, a host or other game system), and functions thereof are hardware such as various processors or communication ASICs, programs, and the like. It can be realized by. As a data transfer protocol of the communication unit 196, a high-speed serial bus data transfer protocol such as IEEE 1394 or USB (USB 2.0 or the like) can be used.

  The sound output unit 214 outputs the sound generated according to the present embodiment, and its function can be realized by hardware such as a speaker or headphones.

  Note that a program (data) for causing a computer to function as each unit of the present embodiment is transferred from an information storage medium included in a host (server) to an information storage medium 180 (storage unit) via a network (wide area network, the Internet) and a communication unit 196. 170). Use of such a host (server) information storage medium is also included within the scope of the present invention.

  The processing unit 100 (processor) performs various processes such as a game process, an image generation process, and a sound generation process based on operation data from the operation unit 160, a program, and the like. In this case, the processing unit 100 performs various processes using the main storage unit 172 in the storage unit 170 as a work area. The function of the processing unit 100 can be realized by hardware such as various processors (CPU, DSP, etc.) or ASIC (gate array, etc.) and a program (game program).

  Here, the processing performed by the processing unit 100 includes coin (price) acceptance processing, various mode setting processing, game progress processing, selection screen setting processing, the position and direction of an object (one or a plurality of primitives) ( Processing for obtaining a rotation angle about the X, Y or Z axis), processing for moving an object (motion processing), processing for obtaining the position and direction of the virtual camera (viewpoint) (rotation angle about the X, Y or Z axis), Processing to place objects such as map objects in the object space, hit check processing, processing to calculate game results (results, results), processing for multiple players to play in a common game space, game over processing, etc. Can think.

  The processing unit 100 includes a game processing unit 110, a card information reading unit 112, a setting unit 114, a display control unit 116, a timer unit 120, a determination unit 121, a status parameter update unit 124, an image generation unit 126, and a sound generation unit 130. . Note that the processing unit 100 does not need to include all these units (functional blocks), and some of them may be omitted.

  The game processing unit 110 performs various game processes (a process for arranging, moving and displaying game display objects, and a game progress) for advancing a game (a battle game, a cooperative game, a multiplayer game, or a breeding game). For example, a branching process or a game result calculating process). More specifically, the game processing unit 110 performs a game process in which a character operated by a player and a character operated by another player (actual player or computer player) are played (or cooperated).

  The card information reading unit 112 reads the technique information stored in the technique card 218 acquired by the sensor 222 provided in the center of each technique card arrangement area 220. In the present embodiment, the technique information of each technique card 218 arranged in each technique card arrangement area 220 is stored in the storage unit 170 in association with the technique selection button 216 corresponding to each technique card arrangement area 220.

  In this case, for example, before starting the game, table data for associating the read technique information of each technique card 218 with each technique selection button 216 may be created. Thereby, the technique information of each card 218 arranged in the technique card arrangement area 220 corresponding to each technique selection button 216 and the input signal from each technique selection button 216 can be associated with each other. By operating, the technique information read from the card 218 corresponding to the selection button 216 can be processed.

  Here, the technique information stored in the technique card 218 is information that is optically readable and recorded in the technique card 218, and is electrically and magnetically stored. The character is activated (executed) in the game. ) Information on the technology and skills that can be performed. Further, the technique information is information set for each player by the player's operation input or the like, and can be information that affects the status parameter related to the game result of each player (self, opponent). The technique related to the technique information is activated by a character, for example, when a player gives an instruction during the game. The technique information includes a plurality of attribute information and a plurality of sub-attribute information associated with each attribute.

  And this attribute information is three attribute information in which the relative superiority or inferiority such as janken goo, choki, par etc. is cyclically defined (relationship of trifling), or janken par and goo The relative superiority or inferiority relationship can be a plurality of attribute information predetermined in a unidirectional manner. Further, as the sub attribute information, various parameters such as the type of technique of the attribute associated with the sub attribute, attack power, defense power, success rate, priority, consumption physical strength, and level can be considered.

  That is, a large number of skill cards 218 having different combinations of attribute information and sub attribute information are prepared. For example, the skill card 218 with the junken attribute “par attribute”, the sub attribute technique type “continuous punch”, and the sub attribute attack power “5”, or the junken attribute “goo attribute” and the sub attribute Various techniques such as a technique card 218 having a technique type of “side step” and a sub attribute defensive power of “3” can be considered.

  The setting unit 114 performs a first parameter setting process for setting the first parameter based on the input time of the input signal and a second parameter setting process for setting the second parameter based on the type of the input signal. This is performed for each player until the above condition is satisfied.

  More specifically, the setting unit 114 changes the state (first parameter) of each player to one of a plurality of state information in which the relative superiority or inferiority is predetermined in one direction based on the input signal. The state setting process (first parameter setting process) is set. Here, the state is information about the player set by the player's operation input or the like, and can be information that affects the status parameter related to the game result of the player. For example, various parameters such as the power, momentum, and accuracy of the player character CH1 can be considered.

  Further, the setting unit 114 sets an attribute setting process (second parameter) of each player based on the input signal to any one of the three pieces of attribute information in which the relative superiority or inferiority is cyclically determined in advance ( Second parameter setting process) is performed. Here, the attribute is information about the player set by the player's operation input or the like, and can be information that affects the status parameter related to the game result of the player. In the present embodiment, the janken attribute information read from the technique card 218 is set as the second parameter. In this embodiment, in the attribute setting process, the table data may be referred to based on the input signal, and attribute information corresponding to the input signal may be set for each player.

  In the present embodiment, in the state setting process, the state of each player may be changed and set based on the input signal from each technique selection button 216. In this case, for example, the state of each player may be changed and set according to the time, pressure, speed, etc., that each technique selection button 216 is operated. Note that an attribute setting operator and a state setting operator may be provided separately.

  Further, the setting unit 114 performs the state setting process and the attribute setting process until a predetermined condition is satisfied. The time until the predetermined condition is satisfied may be, for example, until the determination button 210 is pressed by the player, or until a predetermined time elapses from a predetermined time point. That is, in the present embodiment, the player can change and set the attribute and state of the player until a predetermined condition is satisfied. In this case, the setting unit 114 may receive the first input signal received first or last when two or more input signals are input in a superimposed manner.

  Then, when the attribute changed and set based on the input signal is the same as the set attribute, the setting unit 114 performs the state setting process according to the first change characteristic based on the input signal. Set by changing the state of the player. In addition, when the attribute changed and set based on the input signal is different from the set attribute, the state setting process responds to the second change characteristic that adversely changes the player state based on the input signal. To change the player state. Here, the first change characteristic is a characteristic that changes the state information of the player so as to be advantageous to the player according to the input signal. For example, the power value is increased or increased according to the input signal. The characteristic can be changed so as to accumulate.

  For example, when an input signal from one technique selection button 216 is changed to an input signal from another technique selection button 216, the attribute corresponding to the changed input signal is the same as the attribute before the change. In some cases, the player state is changed and set according to the first change characteristic based on the input signal. On the other hand, if the attribute corresponding to the changed input signal is different from the attribute before the change, the state of the player is changed and set according to the second change characteristic based on the input signal. Here, the second change characteristic is a characteristic that changes the state information of the player so as to be disadvantageous to the player according to the input signal. For example, the power value as the state of the player according to the input signal, etc. Can be set to a characteristic that is reset to 0, or is changed so as to be significantly or abruptly lowered.

  In addition, when there is no input signal in the state setting process, the setting unit 114 determines the player's response according to the third change characteristic, which is more disadvantageous than the first change characteristic but more advantageous than the second change characteristic. You may make it set by changing a state. Here, the third change characteristic is changed so that, for example, when the input signal disappears after the power value is increased in accordance with the input signal, the increased power value is gradually decreased or decreased. It can be a characteristic.

  The setting unit 114 accepts an input signal until a predetermined time elapses after the acceptance of the input signal is started. Then, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the state and attributes of the other player are determined. For example, the reception of the input signal is prohibited or terminated so that the attribute and state set when a predetermined time has passed cannot be changed and set.

  The setting unit 114 may determine the attribute and state of the other player after a predetermined time has elapsed after the attribute and state of one player are determined based on the input signal. Further, based on the input signal, a process for determining the set attribute and state of each player may be performed. For example, when an information confirmation operation is performed by the player, such as when the determination button 210 is pressed or the operation element 216 is repeatedly hit within a predetermined period, the attribute and state set at that time cannot be changed and set. As described above, the reception of the input signal may be prohibited or terminated.

  Further, the setting unit 114 continuously changes the player state based on the input signal so as to be advantageous to the player, and sets the player state change characteristic based on the input signal to the set attribute of each player. It is also possible to perform change characteristic control processing that changes according to the above. For example, in the case where the player state is changed according to the first change characteristic and the setting is made so that the power value is increased with a relatively small operation amount when the per attribute of the junken attribute is set. On the other hand, when the joken attribute is set, the change characteristic can be controlled such that the power value increases with a relatively large amount of operation.

  Further, when the player state is changed according to the second change characteristic and set, when a change is made from the par attribute to the choke attribute, a relatively small amount of power value or the like is subtracted. On the other hand, when the change attribute is changed from the choke attribute to the par attribute, the change characteristic can be controlled such that a relatively large amount of power value or the like is subtracted.

  Further, the setting unit 114 sets the player state in stages so that the player is advantageous based on the input signal, and sets a threshold value for changing each player state in stages. Further, a threshold control process that changes according to the attribute of each player may be performed. For example, when the par attribute is set, the threshold value of the power value stage is controlled so that the power value stage moves up to the next stage with a relatively small operation amount, while the choke attribute is set. In this case, the threshold value of the power value stage can be controlled so that the power value stage moves up to the next stage with a relatively large amount of operation.

  In addition, the setting unit 114 sets a sub attribute (third parameter) for each player in sub attribute information associated with the set attribute (second parameter) (third parameter). The setting process may be further performed. In this case, the above-described change characteristic control process and threshold value control process may be performed according to the sub-attribute set for each player.

  The setting unit 114 may change and set the setting information based on the positional relationship of the technique cards 218 arranged on the operation panel 204. For example, when technique cards 218 having the same attribute are arranged in adjacent technique card arrangement areas 220, or when a plurality of technique cards 218 are arranged in the same technique card arrangement area 220, the technique cards 218 are concerned. The sub-attribute information stored in may be changed and set as the third parameter. More specifically, for example, various parameters such as attack power, defense power, success rate, priority, consumption physical strength, and level as sub-attributes may be changed and set as the third parameter. Further, based on the positional relationship of the skill cards 218 arranged on the operation panel 204, the above-described change characteristic control process and threshold value control process may be performed.

  The display control unit 116 displays a state display control process (first parameter display control process) for displaying the change of the set state (first parameter) of each player in an identifiable manner, and sets the attribute ( An attribute display control process (second parameter display control process) is performed for identifiable display of which attribute is the second parameter). Also, in the attribute display control process, a sub attribute display control process (third parameter display control process) for displaying which sub-attribute the sub attribute (third parameter) of each player is set to be identifiable. May be performed. For example, the attributes, sub-attributes, and states set for each player can be identified and displayed by icons, characters, character actions and forms, colors, gauges, meters, graphs, and the like.

  Further, in the state display control process, the display control unit 116 may perform a display control process in which the display indicating the player state is continuously changed according to the change in the player state set. In this case, for example, displays such as gauges, meters, and graphs indicating the player state are continuously updated according to changes in the player state.

  Note that the display control unit 116 may display the set attribute and state in an identifiable manner based directly on the input signal, or may be set based on the attribute and state set based on the input signal. The attribute and state may be displayed in an identifiable manner.

  Further, the display control unit 116 further performs a movement / motion display control process for moving / moving the player character based on at least the set player attribute when a predetermined condition is satisfied. Specifically, when the attribute and state of each player are determined, or when a predetermined time has elapsed, motion data corresponding to the set attribute is selected and set. Then, an image is displayed in which the player character CH1 and the opponent character CH2 perform movement / motion according to the attribute.

  The timer unit 120 performs a process of measuring (counting) a time such as an input time limit. For example, the time is counted by counting up the count value (count value variable) at the timing of frame (1/60 second, 1/30 second) update. Alternatively, the time may be measured using a timer of a real time clock that the game system has.

  The determination unit 121 determines the first parameter and the second parameter for each player when a predetermined condition is satisfied, and determines the player based on the determined first parameter and second parameter. Judge the superiority or inferiority relationship between. In the present embodiment, the superiority or inferiority relationship between the players is determined based on the state and attributes set for each player when 5 seconds have elapsed after the reception of the input signal from the operation unit 160 is started.

  In particular, as a characteristic process of the present embodiment, the determination unit 121, when the state (first parameter) set for one player is dominant over the state set for the other player, When there is no superiority or inferiority relationship between the state determination process (first parameter determination process) for determining that one player is dominant and the state set for each player (second parameter) ) The attribute determination process (second parameter determination process) for determining that the player having the superiority / inferiority relationship is dominant, and the state set for one player is inferior to the state set for the other player When the attribute set for one player is inferior to the attribute set for the other player, a reverse rotation determination process is performed to determine that one player is dominant.

  In addition, in the determination unit 121, the setting unit 114 receives any one of the first to Nth setting information in which the relative superiority / inferiority is predetermined in one direction based on the input signal in each state setting process Is set as the state (first parameter), in the reverse rotation determination process, the first setting which is the most inferior among the first to N-th setting information as the state (first parameter) of one player Information is set, and the most dominant N-th setting information among the first to N-th setting information is set as the state (first parameter) of the other player, If the attribute (second parameter) is inferior to the other player's attribute (second parameter), it may be determined that one player is dominant.

  The status parameter update unit 124 updates the status parameter so that the player determined to be dominant based on the determination result is advantageous. Here, the status parameter is a parameter related to the game result of each player, and the character's physical strength value that is defeated when a predetermined value given in advance to each player becomes 0, or damage that is defeated when the predetermined value is reached. Various parameters such as quantity and score can be considered.

  Further, the amount of change of the status parameter to be updated may be determined according to the set state (first parameter) of the player. For example, when the power value is set as the player state, the higher the set power value, the larger the change amount of the updated status parameter, that is, the more damage amount is given to the opponent. May be. In addition, when randomly determining whether or not to update the status parameter based on the determination result (success / failure) by lottery, the higher the set power value, the probability of updating (skill accuracy, success rate) ) May be raised.

  In the present embodiment, the status parameter of each player may be updated based on the set sub-attribute (third parameter) of each player. For example, the first attack technique and the second attack technique have the same par attribute, but may be set so that the maximum value of the attack power is different as the sub attribute. In this case, even if the power value or the like as the player's state is set to be the same for the first attack technique and the second attack technique, the technique in which the maximum value of the attack power as the sub attribute is set to be large. Alternatively, the amount of change in the updated status parameter may be increased, that is, a greater amount of damage may be given to the opponent.

  The image generation unit 126 performs a drawing process based on the results of various processes performed by the processing unit 100, thereby generating an image and outputting the image to the display unit 202. That is, when generating a so-called three-dimensional game image, first, geometric processing such as coordinate transformation, clipping processing, perspective transformation, or light source processing is performed, and based on the processing result, drawing data (the vertex of the primitive surface) Position coordinates, texture coordinates, color data, normal vector or 癇 l). Then, based on the drawing data (primitive surface data), the object (one or a plurality of primitive surfaces) after the perspective transformation (after the geometry processing) has the image information in a pixel unit such as a drawing buffer 174 (frame buffer, work buffer, etc.). It is drawn in a buffer that can be stored. 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 214.

  In the case of a configuration in which a plurality of game systems 200 are connected, a part or all of the processing of each functional block of the game system in FIG. 2 may be realized by one game system 200, or a plurality of game systems 200 You may implement | achieve by the distributed processing of the game system 200, and the distributed processing of the game system 200 and a server (host).

5). Flow of processing 5-1. Processing at Game Start Next, processing at the game start will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of a process flow at the start of the game. First, in step S20, when a coin is inserted into the coin insertion slot 212 shown in FIG. 1, a technique card that prompts the player to arrange the technique card 218 owned by the player in the technique card arrangement area 220 in step S22. An arrangement instruction screen is displayed on the display unit 202.

  Then, in step S24, the sensor 222 acquires technique information stored in the technique card 218 arranged in each technique card arrangement area 220, and in step S26, the player character CH1 activates the read technique information. Register as a technique that can. At this time, in the present embodiment, table data for associating the technique information of each technique card 218 with each operation element 216 is created. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when each operation element 216 is operated, the technique information of the technique card 218 arranged in the technique card arrangement area 220 corresponding to the operation element 216 is represented by the player attribute (first parameter) and It can be set as a sub attribute (third parameter).

  Then, in step S28, the registered technique information is displayed as a list on the display unit 202. At this time, if the opponent player is a real player, the technique information of the technique cards 218 arranged by the opponent player is also displayed in a list. In the case of a computer player, the technique information selected by a predetermined algorithm is displayed in a list. That is, technique information that can be activated by each player is disclosed.

  In the present embodiment, the technique card placement area 220 is provided in a total of 15 places in three rows and five rows, but a game can be played without placing the skill cards 218 in all 15 places. Further, the arrangement and number of technique card arrangement areas 220 can be arbitrarily changed.

5-2. Processing at the time of the battle game Next, processing at the time of the battle game will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 4 is an example of a game screen displayed on the display unit 202 in the competitive game of the present embodiment. The game system 200 has substantially the same configuration as the game system 20 (FIG. 9) to which the first game is applied. As shown in FIG. 4, in the present embodiment, the player character CH1 and the opponent character CH2 are used. The attribute icons IC1 and IC2 indicating the attribute (first parameter) and the sub-attribute (third parameter) set for each player character are displayed at positions corresponding to.

  In the present embodiment, which janken attribute is set is identified and displayed by the shape of the attribute icons IC1 and IC2, and the type of technique as the set sub-attribute is identified and displayed by characters. . The power value is determined by the first stage when the power value meter PM1 is less than half, the second stage when the power value meter PM1 is more than half and less than the maximum value MAX, and the power value meter PM1 In the case of the maximum value MAX, the third stage is set as the third stage, and the relative superiority or inferiority is predetermined in one direction.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a process flow during a battle game. First, in step S40, the player character CH1 and the opponent player character CH2 are displayed on the display unit 202. In step S42, acceptance of an input signal from the technique selection button 216 is started, and in step S44, a state setting process (first parameter setting process) for increasing and setting the power value of the player based on the input signal; Then, an attribute setting process (second parameter setting process) is performed for setting the janken attribute of each player to the janken attribute corresponding to the input signal based on the input signal.

  Then, in synchronism with the process of step S44, display control of the power value meters PM1 and PM2 is performed in step S46 so that the change of the set power value of each player (first parameter) can be identified. The state icon control process (first parameter display control process), and the attribute icons IC1 and IC2 can be identified so that the set junken attribute (second parameter) and sub-attribute (third parameter) of each player can be identified. Attribute display control processing (second parameter display control processing, third parameter display control processing) for performing display control is performed. The attribute setting process, the state setting process, the attribute display control process, and the state display control process are performed until it is determined in step S48 that five seconds have elapsed since the input of the technique selection button 216 was started (in step S48). Y) Yes.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, the player selects a technique selection button 216 corresponding to a technique card 218-1 in which the janken attribute information is “par attribute” and the sub attribute (technical type) information is “continuous punch”. When −1 is pressed, the display unit 202 displays an attribute icon IC1 which is a star icon indicating “par attribute” and is displayed as “continuous punch” at a position corresponding to the player character CH1. On the other hand, when the opponent's janken attribute is set to “Choky attribute” and the sub attribute is set to “Turn kick”, the opponent is dominant with “Janken” attribute “Par” and “Choki”. B) As shown in (B), the attribute information and the sub attribute are pressed by pressing the technique selection button 216-2 corresponding to the technique card 218-2 having the attribute information “Goo attribute” and the sub attribute (technical type) “Tackle”. Can be changed and set.

  Then, the display unit 202 displays an attribute icon IC1 which is an octagonal icon indicating “goo attribute” and displayed as “tackle” at a position corresponding to the player character CH1. In this way, in this embodiment, until 5 seconds have elapsed from the start of input reception, the player can check the level of his / her own janken attribute and power value while looking at the level of janken attribute and power value set for the opponent. Can be changed and set.

  When the player's janken attribute and power value stages are determined in step S52, the superiority or inferiority relationship between the players is determined based on the janken attribute and power value stages of each player in step S54. Then, in step S56, an image in which the player's character moves and moves based on the state (second parameter) and the sub-attribute (third parameter) skill type set for the player determined to be dominant. Is displayed.

  For example, if the technique type of the sub attribute is continuous punch and the level of the power value of the state is the maximum value, an image in which the character punches the continuous punch while the flashing light is displayed. In step S58, the status parameter for the player determined to be inferior is subtracted and updated according to the state (second parameter) set for the player determined to be dominant.

  Then, in step S60, it is determined whether or not the status parameter of each player has become 0. If the status parameter of any player has become 0 (Y in step S60), the status parameter in step S62. It is determined that the player who is not 0 has won. On the other hand, when it is not 0 (N in step S60), the process returns to step S42 and the processes from step S44 to step S60 are repeated. In this way, in this embodiment, each player activates the technique of any of the junken attributes, goo, choki, and par, and reduces the opponent's status parameter while reducing the opponent's status parameter to 0. And enjoy the game.

5-3. Details of State Setting Process Next, details of the state setting process (first parameter setting process) in step S44 of FIG. 5 will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of state setting processing. First, in step S80, if there is an input signal from the technique selection button 216 (Y in step S80), whether or not the power value (first parameter) set in step S82 is in the initial state. That is, whether it is 0 or not. If the power value set here is in the initial state (Y in step S82), the power value is added in step S84.

  Then, the process returns to step S80 to determine again whether there is an input signal. If there is an input signal (Y in step S80), it is determined in step S82 that the set power value is not in the initial state ( N in step S82). Then, in step S86, it is determined whether or not the janken attribute corresponding to the input signal is the same as the janken attribute corresponding to the input signal in the previous loop. If they are the same (Y in step S86), step In S84, the power value is added.

  That is, in the present embodiment, when the player continues to press down one technique selection button 216, the power value (first parameter) as the state of the player increases (the player's state depends on the first change characteristic). Change state). Further, even when the other technique selection button 216 is pressed after the one technique selection button 216 is pressed, the janken attribute corresponding to the other technique selection button 216 has the technique selection button 216 previously pressed. If it is the same as the janken attribute corresponding to, the power value continues to increase. Along with this, display control is performed to increase the display of the power value of the power value meter PM1.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, the player selects a technique selection button 216 corresponding to a technique card 218-1 in which the attribute information is “par attribute” and the sub attribute (technical type) information is “continuous punch”. When 1 is kept pressed, display control is performed to increase the display of the power value of the power value meter PM1. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 8B, the technique selection button 216-3 corresponding to the technique card 218-3 having the same "par attribute" attribute information and "jumping kick" having different sub attribute (technical type) information. Even when is pressed, display control is performed to continue and increase the display of the power value of the power value meter PM1.

  On the other hand, if the janken attribute corresponding to the input signal is different from the janken attribute corresponding to the input signal in the previous loop in step S86 (N in step S86), the power value is reset to the initial state in step S88. That is, in the present embodiment, when the technique selection button 216 associated with different janken attributes is pressed, the power value is reset to 0 (the player's state is changed according to the second change characteristic). Along with this, display control for resetting the display of the power value of the power value meter PM1 to 0 is performed.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, the player selects a technique selection button 216 corresponding to a technique card 218-1 whose attribute information is “par attribute” and whose sub-attribute (technical type) information is “continuous punch”. After pressing 1 to increase the display of the power value of the power value meter PM1, as shown in FIG. 6 (B), it corresponds to the technique card 218-2 having a different “goo” attribute information. When the technique selection button 216-2 to be pressed is pressed, display control is performed to reset the display of the power value of the power value meter PM1 to zero.

  If it is determined in step S80 that there is no input signal (N in step S80), it is determined in step S90 whether or not the set power value is in the initial state, and the set power value is in the initial state. (Y in step S90), the process returns to step S80, and it is determined again whether there is an input signal. On the other hand, when the set power value is not the initial state (N in step S90), the power value is subtracted in step S92.

  In other words, in the present embodiment, when the player presses one technique selection button 216 and then stops pressing, the power value decreases (the player's state is changed according to the third change characteristic). Along with this, display control is performed to reduce the display of the power value of the power value meter PM1.

  In this way, in the present embodiment, the player should not change the player's state unfavorably while looking at the attribute (junken attribute) and state (power value stage) set for the opponent. Switch to another skill selection button 216 to change and set sub-attributes (types of techniques, etc.) between the same attributes, or select techniques corresponding to other attributes even if their state changes unfavorably By switching to the button 216, it is possible to enjoy a game that requires a strategic decision to change and set to a sub-attribute having a different attribute.

5-4. Details of Superiority / Inferiority Determination Processing Next, details of the superiority / inferiority determination processing in step S54 in FIG.

5-4-1. First Aspect FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of superiority / inferiority judgment processing of the first aspect. First, in step S100, it is determined whether or not the power value level (first parameter) set for each player is the same level. If the level is not the same level (N in step S100), step S102 is performed. Then, it is determined whether or not the power value level of one player is the third level which is the maximum value MAX. If the power value of any player is not in the third stage (N in step S102), it is determined in step S104 that the higher power value stage is dominant (first parameter determination process). ).

  In step S102, if the power value of one player is in the third stage (Y in step S102), it is determined in step S106 whether the power value of the other player is in the first stage. When the power value level of the other player is the second level (N in step S106), it is determined in step S104 that the higher power level level is dominant (first parameter determination process). ).

  On the other hand, if the power value level of the other player is the first level in step S106 (Y in step S106), the power level level is low in step S108, and the janken attribute is inferior. It is determined that it is dominant (reverse rotation determination process).

  In step S100, if the power value set for each player is the same level (Y in step S100), in step S110, the janken attribute (second parameter) is dominant. It is determined that it is dominant (second parameter determination process).

5-4-2. Second Aspect FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of superiority or inferiority determination processing of the second aspect. In the second mode, first, in step S120, it is determined whether or not the relationship between the first parameter (stage of power value) and the relationship between the second parameter (junken attribute) of each player is a predetermined combination. In the present embodiment, the relationship of the first parameter between the players is a combination in which the stage of the power value of one player is the first stage and the stage of the power value of the other player is the third stage, Further, it is determined whether or not the relationship of the second parameter between the players is a combination in which the junken attribute of one player is inferior to the junken attribute of the other player. If it is a predetermined combination (Y in step S120), it is determined in step S122 that one player is dominant (special determination process).

  On the other hand, if the predetermined combination is not obtained (N in step S120), it is determined in step S124 whether or not the first parameters (power value stages) of the respective players match. If the first parameters do not match (N in step S124), in step S126, it is determined that the player in which the first parameter is dominant, that is, the player with the higher power value level is dominant (first). Parameter determination processing).

  On the other hand, if the first parameters match (Y in step S124), it is determined in step S128 whether or not the second parameters (junken attributes) of the players match. If the second parameters do not match (N in step S128), in step S130, it is determined that the player in which the second parameter is dominant, that is, the player in which the janken attribute is dominant (second). Parameter determination processing).

  On the other hand, if the second parameters match (Y in step S128), it is determined in step S132 that there is no superiority or inferiority between the players, that is, a match (match determination process). The first parameter determination process in steps S124 and 126 and the second parameter determination process in steps S128 and 130 may be performed in reverse order.

5-4-3. Third Mode FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of superiority or inferiority determination processing of the third mode. In the third mode, first, in step S140, the table data is referred to based on the first parameter (power value stage) and the second parameter (junken attribute) set for each player, and in step S142. Which player is dominant.

  FIG. 14 is an example of a determination table used in the third mode. In the determination table of FIG. 14, data indicating the superiority or inferiority relationship between the first player A and the second player B includes the janken attribute (second parameter) set for each player and the power value level (first value). Parameter) and stored in association with each other. In the figure, “A” indicates that the first player A is dominant, and “B” indicates that the second player B is dominant. In addition, a circled one indicates that one of the players is determined to be dominant in a manner corresponding to the above-described special determination process, and “-” indicates that there is no superiority or inferiority relationship. It shows that it is Aiko.

  When this determination table is used, for example, when the junken attribute (second parameter) of the first player A is a choke attribute and the power value stage (first parameter) is the third stage. Refers to data row R1. If the junken attribute (second parameter) of the second player B is a goo attribute and the power value stage (first parameter) is the first stage, the data string L1 is referred to. Then, the data R1L1 where the data row R1 and the data column L1 intersect is referred to. Then, it is determined that the dominant player in this case is the first player A.

  Further, when the junken attribute (second parameter) of the first player A is the goo attribute and the power value stage (first parameter) is the third stage, the data row R2 is referred to. If the junken attribute (second parameter) of the second player B is the par attribute and the power value stage (first parameter) is the third stage, the data string L2 is referred to. Then, the data R2L2 where the data row R2 and the data column L2 intersect is referred to. In this case, the dominant player is determined to be the first player B.

  When the junken attribute (second parameter) of the first player A is a par attribute and the power value stage (first parameter) is the third stage, the data row R3 is referred to. When the second player B's janken attribute (first parameter) is a goo attribute and the power value stage (first parameter) is the first stage, the data string L1 is referred to. Then, the data R3L1 where the data row R3 and the data column L1 intersect is referred to. In this case, the dominant player is determined to be the first player B.

  Thus, according to the superiority / inferiority determination processing of the third aspect, the dominant player can be uniquely determined using the table data.
