Display on the means. An instruction to place a new piece on the game board is received from the input means. Then, according to the received instruction, the information in the board storage unit is updated in a state where a new piece is placed on the game board. Furthermore, the attribute of the piece sandwiched between the pieces having the same attribute as the new piece is read from the board storage unit. Then, according to the piece transition rule, the read piece attribute is changed to the next attribute which is the first, second or neutral attribute, and the information in the board storage unit is updated. When the end of the game is detected, the number of front attribute pieces on the game board stored in the board storage unit is compared with the number of back attribute pieces, and the winning or losing result corresponding to the comparison result is displayed on the display means.

  According to this, the pinched piece may show a neutral attribute as well as the front and back. Neutral is a piece that does not belong to the front or back and is not counted as a player's score. For this reason, it is possible to enjoy a strategic deep game while predicting whether the pinched pieces will be their own pieces, their opponent's pieces, or neutral.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a computer device that implements the present invention. The computer device shown in FIG. 1 includes display means 1 for displaying a game board and pieces, input means 2 for inputting an instruction to place a piece on the game board, and storage means 3 for storing the state of the game board and pieces. ing. Further, it has processing means 4 for updating the state of the game board and pieces stored in the storage means 3 in accordance with an instruction from the input means 2 and displaying the updated game board and pieces on the display means 1. Reference numeral 5 denotes communication means for performing communication with other computer devices.

  Among these, the storage means 3 includes a board storage unit for storing the arrangement of the pieces on the game board and attributes of the pieces, a piece transition rule storage unit for storing the transition rules for the attributes of the pieces, And an image storage unit that stores images of a plurality of corresponding frames. Here, the attributes of the piece include the first hand, the second hand, and the neutral, and the order of circulation of the first hand, the second hand, and the neutral attribute is stored as the piece transition rule.

  The storage means 3 includes a score storage unit that sequentially stores the score progress during the game, and a program storage unit that stores the game program of the present invention.

  More specifically, in the present embodiment, the display means 1 is a display device such as a liquid crystal display device. The input means 2 is an input device such as a key input device or a pointing device. The storage unit 3 includes a RAM, a ROM, and a mass storage device. The RAM includes volatile and non-volatile, and the ROM includes a rewritable ROM. Further, the rewritable ROM includes removable media. The mass storage device also includes removable media.

  The processing means 4 is an information processing device such as a CPU or an information processing circuit that realizes various operations by executing a program. The communication means 5 is a communication device such as an infrared interface or a modem, and is prepared depending on the type of computer equipment. Examples include an infrared communication device, a Bluetooth communication device, and an Internet communication device such as a modem.

  Next, each storage unit provided in the storage unit 3 will be described in detail. Each storage unit is provided as a storage area in the storage unit 3. First, the board storage unit stores a variable corresponding to a position where a piece is placed on the game board for each position where the piece is placed. For example, k (i, j) is a variable corresponding to the i-th (i = 1 to 8) from the left in FIG. Remember. This piece placement variable stores the piece placement state as a value. For example, 0 is stored when no frame is placed, 1 is stored to represent the front frame, 2 is stored to represent the back frame, and 3 is stored to represent the neutral frame. In this case, in the example of FIG. 3, k (4,4) = k (5,5) = 1, k (5,4) = k (4,5) = 2, and the values of the other frame locations are 0. It becomes.

  Next, as described above, the piece transition rule storage unit stores the order in which the first, second, and neutral attributes are circulated as the piece transition rule. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the circulation of attributes is stored in the order of first hand → rear hand → neutral and back from neutral to first hand. Here, the piece transition rule may be described as a part of the game program stored in the program storage unit. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that a program for realizing the piece transition rule is described in a part of the game program.

  Next, in the score storage unit, the score (number of frames) of the front and back is updated as needed during the game. The score stored in the score storage unit is displayed on the front and back hands as needed during the game.

  Next, the image storage unit stores an image of a game board that displays a grid-like game board as shown in FIG. Alternatively, display control information for drawing a grid-like game board as shown in FIG. 3 instead of an image may be stored. The image storage unit stores images of a plurality of frames according to the attributes of the frames. There are three types of attributes of the piece, first hand, rear hand, and neutral, and three types of images that can identify the attribute corresponding to the type of the attribute are stored. Alternatively, display control information for drawing a piece may be stored instead of an image. In this embodiment, the image of the piece is stored in association with the value of the piece placement field variable. Specifically, 1 = a frame image indicating the front hand, 2 = a frame image indicating the back hand, and 3 = a frame image indicating the neutral are associated with each other.

  Next, a game program is stored in the program storage unit. The game progresses when the processing means 3 executes this game program. This game program may be installed in advance in a computer device, downloaded from a server on the Internet via the communication means 5, or recorded in a game cartridge, a game CD, or a game DVD. .

  Next, the operation of the game realized by the processing means 4 executing this game program will be described.

  FIG. 2 is a flowchart of the game operation. In the present embodiment, a description will be given on the assumption that a game is progressed by alternately operating one computer device with the first hand and the second hand.

  First, when the game is started, the processing means 4 displays the initial board surface on the display means 2 (S1). At this time, it is assumed that the game board and piece states shown in FIG. 3 are stored in the board storage unit as an initial state. The processing means 4 reads the frame placement variable k (i, j) in the initial state from the board storage unit, and further, the image storage unit displays a frame image corresponding to the read value of the piece placement variable k (i, j). 3 is displayed on the display means 1. The game starts with an 8 × 8 lattice game board and two front and rear pieces placed diagonally at the center start.

  The processing means 4 prompts the display means 1 to place a new piece first (S2). The front user operates the input means 2 and gives an instruction, for example, by clicking with the mouse on the game board where to place the piece. The processing means 4 accepts this frame placement instruction (S3). Subsequently, the processing means 4 determines whether or not the place where the placement of the new piece is instructed is a place where the piece can be placed. A piece can be placed if it is a place where no piece has been placed and where the opponent's piece can be sandwiched. This determination is made when the coordinate of the place where a new piece is placed is (i, j), the value of k (i, j) is 0, and the coordinate of k () adjacent to the coordinate (i, j) If there is 2 indicating the rear hand and 1 indicating the front hand in the value of k () on the extension in that direction, a piece can be placed.

  When a place where a piece cannot be placed is designated, the processing means 4 displays an error on the display means 1 and instructs the user to designate a place where a new piece is placed again (S3, S4).

  Here, it is assumed that piece A in FIG. 5 is placed. As shown in FIG. 3, there is a rear piece on one of them, and there is a front piece on it, so that a piece can be placed.

  The processing means 4 stores a value 1 indicating the previous move in k (4, 6) where the new piece is placed. Thereby, the information in the board storage unit is updated (S5).

  Next, the processing means 4 performs the attribute transition of the frame sandwiched between the previous frames (S6). First, the value of the frame storage variable of the frame sandwiched from the board storage unit is read out. In the state shown in FIG. 3, k (4,5) = 2 indicating the attribute of the rear hand is read out. Subsequently, as the execution of the frame transition rule, the processing unit 4 adds 1 to the read value, so that k (4, 5) = 3. At this time, if the value exceeds 3, the value is returned to 1. Thereby, the piece transition rule shown in FIG. 4 is realized. In this example, since k (4, 5) = 3, as shown in FIG. 5, the attribute of the rear piece sandwiched between the front pieces is changed to the neutral attribute.

  Next, the processing means 4 performs a score process (S7). In this example, the score (number of frames) of the front is increased by 1, and the score (number of frames) of the back is decreased by 1. Here, the back piece has changed to a neutral attribute, so this is not a score for the front. The processing means 4 updates the calculated score in the score storage unit.

  Next, the processing means 4 determines whether the game is over (S8). The game ends when a piece is placed in every piece place. This determination may be made, for example, by determining that all values of k (i, j) are no longer 0.

  If the game does not end, the processing means 4 returns to the processing of S1, reads the latest information on the board storage unit, and displays the latest piece state on the display means 1. Thereafter, the process is moved from the front to the back in the process of S2, and the processes after S3 are executed on the back as in the case of the front. For example, assume that the rear hand places a piece C shown in FIG. In this case, the attribute of the piece D changes from the first hand to the second hand.

  In this way, the input of the first hand and the second hand is repeated, and when all the pieces are placed on the board, the game ends. When detecting the end of the game, the processing means 4 reads the scores of the front and rear hands at that time from the score storage unit, and displays the higher score on the display means 1 as a winner (S9). At this time, the piece with the neutral attribute is a piece that does not belong to either the front or the back, and does not score the front or the back.

  According to the present embodiment, the sandwiched piece may show a neutral attribute as well as the front and rear hands. Neutral is a piece that does not belong to the front or back and is not counted as a player's score. For this reason, it is possible to enjoy a strategic deep game while predicting whether the pinched pieces will be their own pieces, their opponent's pieces, or neutral.

  Here, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, a configuration may be adopted in which two computer devices compete against each other via the Internet. Moreover, it is good also as a structure with which two computer equipments fight through infrared communication and Bluetooth communication. Alternatively, the computer may act as a computer battle process by acting the first or second hand.

It is a block diagram of the computer apparatus which implements this invention. It is a flowchart of the game program which the computer apparatus of FIG. It is an example of the game board displayed by the program of FIG. It is explanatory drawing of the piece transition rule shown in FIG. It is explanatory drawing for demonstrating progress of a game. It is explanatory drawing for demonstrating progress of a game.
