  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a game process performed by the game apparatus 100. The game period of each play of the question and answer game starts with the start of the game process for realizing the play, and ends before the end of the game process. Prior to the start of each game process, the processor 150 initializes the correct answer number data 161 and the answer number data 162. That is, at the start of each game process, the number of correct answers and the number of questions and answers each represent 0. Hereinafter, the contents of the game process will be described.

  First, the processor 150 secures the allocation table 167 in the volatile region R1, and specifies the question and answer data 163 (hereinafter referred to as “target question and answer data”) used in the next question and answer process (step S1). In specifying the target question / answer data, the processor 150 selects and reads one of the many question / answer data 163 held in the rewritable area R22. The rules for selecting the target question / answer data are arbitrary. For example, the selection may be made randomly, the selection may be made based on the operation data from the operation unit 140, or the same question and answer data 163 may not be selected in the same play.

  Next, the processor 150 refers to the pattern table 164 and identifies pattern data (hereinafter referred to as “target pattern data”) to be used in the next question and answer process (step S2). Specifically, one is selected and read out from a plurality of pattern data representing use assignment patterns corresponding to the question and answer types represented by the target question and answer data. The rule for selecting the target pattern data is arbitrary. For example, the selection may be made randomly or based on operation data from the operation unit 140.

  Next, the processor 150 performs usage assignment processing for assigning usages to specific data in the target question-and-answer data (step S3). Specifically, the specific data in the target question / answer data and the usage data representing the usage of the specific data are stored in the assignment table 167 in a one-to-one correspondence. The contents of the allocation table 167 after this storage depend on the question / answer type (structure) of the target question / answer data and the pattern type of the target pattern data.

  FIGS. 13 to 18 are diagrams each schematically showing an example of the contents of the allocation table 167 used in the game apparatus 100. Each of the content assignment tables 167 shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 is obtained when the question and answer type of the target question and answer data is 1 (the structure of the target question and answer data is the first structure (see FIG. 7)). The content allocation table 167 shown in FIG. 13 is obtained when the pattern type of the target pattern data is 1 (see FIG. 10). The right / wrong use is assigned. The content assignment table 167 shown in FIG. 14 is obtained when the pattern type of the target pattern data is 2. The correctness determination use is assigned to the first data, and the question assignment use is assigned to the second data. Is assigned.

  That is, in step S3, when the question / answer type of the target question / answer data is 1, the processor 150 assigns the question assignment use to the first data and assigns the right / wrong use to the second data, and the first data to the first data. It functions as a first use assigning unit that selectively performs the second assignment processing for assigning correct / incorrect determination uses and assigning the question application to the second data according to the pattern type of the target pattern data.

  Each of the content assignment tables 167 shown in FIGS. 15 and 16 is obtained when the question / answer type of the target question / answer data is 2 (the structure of the target question / answer data is the second structure (see FIG. 8)). The right / wrong use is assigned to five data. The content assignment table 167 shown in FIG. 15 is obtained when the pattern type of the target pattern data is 1. The question assignment use is assigned to the third data, and the option presentation use is given to the fourth data. Is assigned. The content assignment table 167 shown in FIG. 16 is obtained when the pattern type of the target pattern data is 2, and the question assignment use is assigned to the portion A of the third data (see FIG. 8). The option presentation application is assigned to each of the three data portions B (see FIG. 8) and the fourth data. In the third data, the part A is data that represents “Please select a color included in the three primary colors of light. However, the specified color is excluded.” And “Specified color: Red”. ".

  That is, in step S3, when the question / answer type of the target question / answer data is 2, the processor 150 assigns the question assignment use to all of the third data and the option assignment use to all of the fourth data; A second assignment process in which a question assignment use is assigned to a part of three data and a fourth assignment process to assign an option presentation use to all of the remaining part of the third data and the fourth data is selectively performed according to the pattern type of the target pattern data. Functions as a usage allocation unit.

  Each of the content assignment tables 167 shown in FIGS. 17 and 18 is obtained when the question and answer type of the target question and answer data is 3 (the structure of the target question and answer data is the third structure (see FIG. 9)). Data indicating correctness / incorrectness use is assigned to 5 data. The content allocation table 167 shown in FIG. 17 is obtained when the pattern type of the target pattern data is 1. The question assignment usage is assigned to the third data, and the option presentation usage is given to the fourth data. Is assigned. The content assignment table 167 shown in FIG. 18 is obtained when the pattern type of the target pattern data is 2, and a question is given to each of the third data and the portion C of the fourth data (see FIG. 9). The use is assigned, and data indicating the option presentation use is assigned to the portion D (see FIG. 9) of the fourth data. In the fourth data, the part D is data representing “purple”, “yellow”, and “green”, and the part C is data representing “blue”.

  That is, in step S3, if the question / answer type of the target question / answer data is 3, the processor 150 assigns the question assignment use to all of the third data and the option presentation use to all of the fourth data; It functions as a third usage assigning unit that selectively performs a fifth question assignment process for assigning a question questioning use to all of the three data and a part of the fourth data, and an option presenting use to the remaining part of the fourth data. In the present embodiment, the assignment of uses is performed so that one or more correct choices are included in the presented choices.

  Next, the processor 150 performs a question / answer process (step S4). In the question / answer process, the processor 150 performs in parallel a question process (step S4A) for giving a question and a reception process (step S4B) for receiving an answer to the question. In the question processing, the processor 150 refers to the assignment table 167, and uses the specific data in the target question / answer data for the purpose assigned to the data to give a question. In other words, the processor 150 functions as a question-taking section that questions a problem using the first data when the question-answering use is assigned to the first data in the play of the question-answer game.

  Further, when the question / answer type of the target question / answer data is 2 or 3, the processor 150 presents options using specific data to which the option presentation use is assigned among the specific data in the target question / answer data in the question processing. . That is, the processor 150 functions as a presentation unit that presents a plurality of options using the fourth data.

  In the reception process, the processor 150 determines whether or not the player's answer has been received (S4B1). If the determination result is negative, whether or not the elapsed time from the start of the reception process has exceeded the time limit. (S4B2), and if this determination result is negative, the process returns to step S4B1. That is, it functions as a reception unit that receives an answer to the question that has been given until the player's answer is accepted or until the elapsed time exceeds the time limit. The time limit is a predetermined time that is set in advance to limit the period for receiving the answer, and is, for example, 60 seconds. In the present embodiment, the start time of the questioning process and the start time of the reception process are the same, but the present invention is not limited to this.

  Note that the determination result in step S4B1 depends on the question and answer type of the target question and answer data. For example, when the question / answer type of the target question / answer data is 1, the result is affirmative when a predetermined time has elapsed from the last point by the touch pen 142, and negative in other cases. Further, for example, when the question / answer type of the target question / answer data is 2 or 3, when a button image for selecting one option is pointed by the touch pen 142 (when one option is selected from the presented options) ) And negative otherwise.

  An image displayed on the screen 121 in the question and answer process corresponds to a combination of the target question and answer data, the question and answer type, and the pattern type of the target pattern data. For example, if the question / answer type is 1, and if the pattern type is 1, the image shown in FIG. 2 is displayed. If the pattern type is 2, the image shown in FIG. 3 is displayed. For example, if the question / answer type is 2, and if the pattern type is 1, the image shown in FIG. 4 is displayed. If the pattern type is 2, the image shown in FIG. 5 is displayed. For example, if the question and answer type is 3, and if the pattern type is 2, the image shown in FIG. 5 is displayed. If the pattern type is 1, the image shown in FIG. As shown in these figures, in the question and answer process, the number of correct answers (“01” in FIG. 2), the question number (“02” in FIG. 2), and the remaining time until the elapsed time exceeds the time limit (FIG. 2 is also “49”).

When the determination result of step S4B1 or step S4B2 of the reception process becomes affirmative, the processor 150 ends the question-and-answer process and performs the next process.
When the determination result in step S4B2 is affirmative and the question and answer process is terminated, that is, when the elapsed time exceeds the time limit and the question and answer process is terminated, the processor 150 performs an incorrect answer process (step S5). That is, image data for notifying that the answer is incorrect is supplied to the display unit 120, and sound data for notifying that the answer is incorrect is supplied to the sound generation unit 130. This informs the player that the answer is incorrect. In the incorrect answer process, the processor 150 updates the question / answer data 162 so that the number of questions / answers increases by one.

  When the determination result of step S4B1 is affirmative and the question and answer process is terminated, that is, when the answer is accepted and the question and answer process is terminated, the processor 150 stores the accepted answer and specific data in the target question and answer data. Based on the data to which the correct / incorrect determination usage is assigned, it is determined whether or not the answer is correct (correctness of the answer) (step S6). If the determination result is negative, the process proceeds to step S5. If the determination result is affirmative, the processor 150 performs correct answer processing (step S7). In the correct answer process, the processor 150 supplies the display unit 120 with image data for notifying the player that the answer is correct, supplies audio data for notifying the correct answer to the sound generator 130, and the number of questions and answers. The number of questions and answers 162 is updated so that the number of correct answers increases by 1, and the number of correct answers 161 is updated so that the number of correct answers increases by one.

  As is apparent from the above description, when the question / answer type of the target question / answer data is 1, in the play of the question / answer game, the processor 150 uses the first data when the question assignment use is assigned to the first data. Using the question as a question, receiving an answer to the given question, determining whether the answer is correct based on the received answer and the second data, and assigning a correctness determination application to the first data A first question / answer determination unit that issues a question using the second data, receives an answer to the question, and determines whether the answer is correct based on the received answer and the first data. Function as.

  Further, as apparent from the above description, when the question / answer type of the target question / answer data is 2 in the play of the question / answer game, the processor 150 assigns the question assignment use to all of the third data. A question is presented using the third data, a plurality of choices are presented using the fourth data, a selection from the presented choices is accepted, and a choice related to the selection is determined based on the accepted selection and the fifth data. It is determined whether or not the answer is a correct answer, and when a question assignment use is assigned to a part of the third data and an option presentation use is assigned to the remaining part, a question is given using a part of the third data, and the third A plurality of options are presented using the remaining portion of the data and the fourth data, a selection from the presented options is accepted, and the selection is made based on the accepted selection and the fifth data. Choice functions as a second question and answer determination unit determines whether the choice of correct.

  Further, as is clear from the above description, when the question / answer type of the target question / answer data is 3 in the play of the question / answer game, the processor 150 assigns the question assignment use to all of the third data. A question is presented using the third data, a plurality of choices are presented using the fourth data, a selection from the presented choices is accepted, and a choice related to the selection is determined based on the accepted selection and the fifth data. It is determined whether or not the answer is a correct answer, and when the question assignment use is assigned to a part of the fourth data, the whole data of the third data and a part of the fourth data are used to give the question, and the fourth data A plurality of choices are presented using the remaining part of the item, a selection from the presented choices is accepted, and the choice related to the selection is selected based on the accepted selection and the fifth data. Functions whether a as the third question and answer determination unit determines.

  After completing the correct answer process or the incorrect answer process, the processor 150 determines whether or not the next question can be given (step S8). The content of this determination should be appropriately determined according to the question / answer game. For example, if the play is a question-and-answer game that ends after a certain number of question-and-answer processes, it may be determined whether or not the number of questions and answers has reached a certain number. Further, for example, in the case of a question-and-answer game in which the play ends within a certain time, it may be determined whether or not the remaining time obtained by subtracting the elapsed time from the start of the play from the certain time is a time limit or more. If the determination result of step S8 is affirmative, the process returns to step S1. Thereafter, the above-described processing is repeatedly performed. That is, in the game process, the question / answer process and the determination process are repeatedly performed for a plurality of problems. When the determination result in step S8 is negative, the processor 150 outputs a play result (for example, the number of correct answers).

  As described above, in the game device 100, when the target question-and-answer data is the question-and-answer data having the first structure, when the first assignment processing is performed by the first use assigning unit, a problem is set using the first data. The evaluation is performed based on the answer to the question that has been given and the second data, and when the second assignment process is performed by the first use assigning unit, the question is given using the second data. Whether or not the answer is correct is determined based on the answer to the question and the first data. Therefore, according to the game device 100, the target question / answer data is the question / answer data having the first structure, and the second data in the target question / answer data indicates the correct answer of the problem represented by the first data in the target question / answer data. If the first data in the target question / answer data represents the correct answer of the problem represented by the second data in the target question / answer data, it is possible to give a plurality of questions using the target question / answer data. .

  Further, in the game device 100, when the target question / answer data is the question / answer data of the second structure, when the third assignment processing is performed by the second use assigning unit, the question is given using the third data, and the fourth data A plurality of choices are presented using, and based on the selection from the presented choices and the fifth data, it is determined whether or not the choice related to the selection is a correct choice, and the second usage assignment unit When the 4-assignment process is performed, a problem is presented using a part of the third data, a plurality of options are presented using the remaining part of the third data and the fourth data, and selection from the presented options is performed. Based on the fifth data, it is determined whether or not the option related to the selection is a correct option. Therefore, according to the game device 100, when the target question-and-answer data is the second-structured question-and-answer data, the fifth data in the target question-and-answer data indicates the correct answer of the problem represented by the third data in the target-question-and-answer data. And the remaining part of the third data in the target question / answer data represents an incorrect answer of the problem, or an incorrect answer of the problem represented by the third data in the target question / answer data is included in the target question / answer data. When the fifth data represents and the remaining part of the third data in the target question / answer data represents the correct answer of the question, a plurality of questions can be set using the target question / answer data.

  Further, in the game device 100, when the target question / answer data is the third structure question / answer data, when the third usage assignment unit performs the third assignment process, the third data is used to give a question. A plurality of options are presented using the four data, and based on the selection from the presented options and the fifth data, it is determined whether or not the option related to the selection is a correct option, and a third usage assignment unit When the fifth assignment process is performed by the above, a problem is presented using all of the third data and a part of the fourth data, and a plurality of options are presented and presented using the remaining part of the fourth data. Based on the selection from the selected option and the fifth data, it is determined whether or not the option related to the selection is a correct option. Therefore, according to the game device 100, when the target question-and-answer data is the third-structured question-and-answer data, the fifth data represents the correct answer of the problem represented by the third data, and a part of the fourth data represents the problem. And the fifth data represents the incorrect answer of the problem represented by the third data, and the remaining data of the fourth data includes the data representing the incorrect answer of the problem. When a part of the fourth data represents the correct answer of the problem and the remaining part of the fourth data includes data representing the correct answer of the problem, a plurality of questions are presented using the target question / answer data. Is possible.

The present embodiment may be modified so that the fifth data indicates a correct answer option in the question-and-answer data 163 of the second structure or the third structure. However, in this case, data whose usage is variable is limited to data indicating an incorrect answer.
In this embodiment, there are questions that require reading ability rather than listening ability, and problems that require writing ability rather than pronunciation ability. It may be possible to ask questions that require listening ability rather than writing ability and problems that require pronunciation ability rather than writing ability. For example, in the question-and-answer data having the first structure shown in FIG. 7, the first data may be voice data, and the second data may be voice data. In the latter case, it is preferable to provide the game apparatus 100 with an input unit for inputting sound. Further, for example, in the question and answer data having the second structure shown in FIG. 8 or the third structure shown in FIG. 9, the third data may be voice data, and the fourth data may be voice data. As is apparent from the above examples, the present embodiment can be modified to change the format of at least one of the first to fourth data to a format other than the text format.
In addition, in the third structure of question and answer data shown in FIG. 9, the third data is voice data to which a question assignment application is assigned, the fourth data is expressed in English, and all of the options are selected. The presentation use may be assigned, or the question assignment use may be assigned to a part thereof, and the option presentation use may be assigned to the remaining part.
