In the present embodiment, a battle game is executed in which a player character is set by causing the card reader 1102 to read the game card 10 on hand, and a battle with another character (enemy character) is performed. There are three types of game cards 10: “character cards”, “enhancement cards”, and “special cards”.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a “character card”. The character card is a card that defines a character to appear in the game. According to the figure, the character card includes a character pattern 12 defined on the card, a name (character name) 13, and names 14 of the three types of normal techniques α, β, and γ that can be activated. Is printed, and on the short side of the card is printed a barcode 11 in which the card ID of the card is coded according to a predetermined standard. The bar code 11 is read by the card reader 1102 so that the game card 10 is identified. The game card 10 is printed with a bar code 11 encoded with the card ID. This is a card in which an IC chip storing various data including the card ID is embedded. It may be configured to read data stored in the chip.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the “enhancement card”. The strengthening card is a card for strengthening the character determined by the character card, and specifically, strengthens the attack power of the normal technique that can be activated by the character. According to the figure, the strengthening card is printed with the strengthening level 15 of each of the three types of normal techniques α, β, γ and the image 16 of the strengthening, and on the short side of the card is the card. A barcode 11 in which the card ID is encoded is printed. The reinforcement level is expressed in five stages of “1-5”, and the greater the level, the greater the degree of reinforcement.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a “special card”. The special card is a card for strengthening a character defined by the character card. Specifically, the special card is a technique that can be activated by the character. Is set additionally. According to the figure, a special card has a special technique name 17 and an image 18 printed thereon, and a bar code 11 in which the card ID of the card is coded is printed on the short side of the card. ing. The special technique is a technique that is stronger than the normal technique (specifically, a technique that can deal more damage to the opponent character). In addition, a special skill has a good compatibility character (good compatibility character). When this good compatibility character is strengthened, the special skill is further strengthened (attack power is increased).

  A flow of a game executed on the game apparatus 1000 will be described with reference to a game screen displayed on the display 1002. First, a battle mode screen for selecting a battle mode is displayed on the display 1002. In the battle mode, one player (first player) battles with a computer-controlled player (second player) “COM battle”, and two players (first and second players) battle each other. Player play (two-player play) ". One of the battle modes is selected on the battle mode selection screen.

  When “COM battle” is selected as the battle mode, subsequently, a difficulty level selection screen for selecting the difficulty level is displayed on the display 1002. There are “normal” and “difficult” difficulty levels.

  When the difficulty level is selected, in accordance with an instruction displayed on the display 1002, three types of game cards 10 are sequentially inserted into the card reader 1102 to be read (scanned), and a player character is set.

  Specifically, first, the character card is read. Then, the character defined in this character card is set as the player character. When there is no handheld character card, the character card reading can be omitted (skip) by pressing a predetermined operation button. In this case, a predetermined character in game device 1000 is a player character. In addition, a time limit for reading the character card (for example, “10 seconds”) is provided, and the character card can be read any number of times within the time limit. In this case, the character defined in the character card read last is the player character.

  Next, the strengthening card is read. Then, based on the strengthening level determined for this strengthening card, each attack of the player character's normal skills α, β, γ is strengthened. When there is no hand-held strengthening card or the like, reading of the strengthening card can be omitted by pressing a predetermined operation button. In this case, the attack power of the player character's normal skills α, β, γ is not strengthened, and remains at the initial setting value. In addition, a time limit (for example, “10 seconds”) in which the enhanced card can be read is provided, and the enhanced card can be read any number of times within the time limit. In this case, the player character's normal skill is strengthened based on the last read strengthening card.

  Finally, read the special card. Then, the special technique defined in this special card is set as the special technique of the player character. At this time, if the player character is a good match character defined for the special technique, the special technique is strengthened and set. When there is no special card on hand, reading of the special card can be omitted by pressing a predetermined operation button. In this case, no special technique is set for the player character. In addition, a time limit (for example, “10 seconds”) in which the special card can be read is provided, and the special card can be read any number of times within the time limit. In this case, the special technique of the special card read last is set as the special technique of the player character.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a player character setting screen displayed during setting of the player character. As shown in the figure, the set player character PC, name (character name) 21, ordinary skill 22, and special technique 23 are displayed on the player character setting screen. The name and attack power of each of the three types of normal techniques α, β, and γ that can be activated by the PC are displayed. The attack power is indicated in five levels by the length of the bar extending from the left to the right of the screen with respect to the gauge whose overall length indicates the maximum attack power. The special technique 23 displays the name of a special technique that can be activated by the player character PC. If the player character PC is a good character for this special technique, the name of this special technique is displayed in an identified manner.

  When the player character is set, a battle with the computer-controlled player character (enemy character) is started. The battle is played for a maximum of three rounds until the player character loses, and battles with different enemy characters for each round.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a battle screen. According to the figure, on the battle screen, the player character PC and the enemy character EC are displayed facing each other. Further, for each of the player character PC and the enemy character, a name (character name) 31 of the character, a physical strength gauge 32, and a slot group 34 are displayed. The slot group 34 is arranged adjacent to each other, a technique slot (technical lottery slot) 35 for determining a technique to activate the corresponding character, and a number slot (attack right lottery) for determining an attacking character. Slot) 36.

  The physical strength gauge 32 displays the physical strength value of the corresponding character as a percentage of the maximum physical strength value by a bar extending from the left or right of the screen toward the center of the screen. The health value is reduced by receiving an attack from the opponent character. The character whose health value has become zero first becomes the “loser” of the round, and the other character becomes the “winner”.

  As shown in the figure, on the battle screen, first, rotation of the technique slot 35 is started. In the technique slot 35, the reel rotates from top to bottom (vertical direction).

  FIG. 7 is a development view of the reel of the technique slot 35. According to the figure, the reel of the technique slot 35 is constituted by a predetermined number of slots ("10" in the figure) being continuously arranged. Each slot is set with any one of a total of four types of techniques including three types of normal techniques “α”, “β”, and “γ” and a special technique “SP”. The number of slots in each technique set is the probability that the technique will be an outcome (outgoing probability). In the present embodiment, the number of special techniques “SP” is “1”, which is determined so that the probability of winning is the smallest.

  When a predetermined operation button is pressed while the technique slot 35 is rotating, stop control of the technique slot 35 of the player character is started. That is, the rotation speed of the technique slot 35 is gradually reduced and stopped. Then, the technique of the slot (outgoing) stopped in the frame 35a is set as the technique (setup technique) that the player character PC activates. The rotation time of the technique slot 35 has a limit (technical lottery period), and when the limit time has elapsed from the start of rotation, the rotation stop control of the technique slot 35 is automatically started. In addition, for the skill slot 35 of the enemy character EC, stop control is started at an appropriate timing by computer control. Similarly, the technique of the slot (out) that stops in the frame 35a is set as the setup technique of the enemy character EC. Is done.

  When both of the technique slots 35 of the player character PC and the enemy character EC are stopped and the setup technique is set, the number slot 36 starts to rotate as shown in FIG. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a battle screen in which the number slot 36 is rotating. According to the figure, the names of setup techniques of the player character PC and the enemy character EC are displayed on the battle screen. In addition, the number slot 36 rotates in the same manner as the technique slot 35 from the top to the bottom (vertical direction).

  FIG. 9 is a development view of the reels of the number slot 36. According to the figure, the reel of the number slot 36 is constituted by a predetermined number of slots ("10" in the figure) being continuously arranged. Each of these slots includes one “empty slot” in which nothing (number) is set, and “1” to “5” are assigned to each of the other slots except the empty slot. Any of the five types of numbers is set. Then, after the outcome of the technique slot 35 is determined for the empty slot, the outcome technique (that is, the setup technique) is set.

  Then, when a predetermined operation button is pressed while the number slot 36 is rotating, control for stopping the rotation of the number slot 36 of the player character is started. That is, the rotational speed of the number slot 36 is gradually reduced and stopped. In addition, there is a limit (attack right lottery time) for the rotation time of the number slot 36. When this limit time elapses from the start of rotation, rotation stop control of the number slot 36 is automatically started. Further, the stop control of the enemy character EC number slot 36 is started at an appropriate timing by computer control.

  When both the player character PC and the enemy character's number slot 36 stop, the superiority or inferiority of the player character PC and the enemy character EC depends on the size of the slot (outgoing) numbers stopped in the frame 36a of each number slot 36. Determined. That is, the character with the larger number in the number slot 36 becomes “dominant” and is given the right to attack.

  However, if the numbers appearing in both number slots 36 are the same, the superiority or inferiority is “Aiko”, and no attack right is given to any character. In addition, when the outcome of the number slot 36 is “technique”, a so-called “groove” in which the outcomes of both the slot group 34 of the technique slot 35 and the number slot 36 are aligned is established. , It becomes the “dominance” of the character in which “Morozome” is established.

  When the superiority or inferiority of the player character PC and the enemy character EC is determined, the “dominant” character activates the setup technique to attack the “inferior” character. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of an attack screen. According to the figure, on the attack screen, the “dominant” character activates the setup technique to attack the “inferior” character. Then, the physical strength value of the attacked character (that is, the “inferior” character) decreases by an amount corresponding to the attack power of the activated setup technique. At this time, if the slot group 34 of the “dominant” character is formed, according to the value obtained by increasing the attack power of the setup technique by a predetermined value (for example, “1.2 times”). The health value will be reduced by that much. This figure shows a case where the player character PC is “dominant”, and the player character PC activates the setup technique “fire attack” to attack the “inferior” enemy character EC.

  As a result, when the physical strength value of at least one character becomes zero, the player of the character becomes a “loser” and the current round ends. Then, when the player becomes a “loser” or when the third round ends, the “COM battle” ends, and one new game card 10 is discharged from the card discharge port 1010.

  In addition, when “player battle” is selected as the battle mode, a battle between players is performed. That is, each of the two players sets the player character by causing the card reader 1102 to read the card on hand. Then, a battle screen (see FIG. 6) where these player characters confront each other is displayed, and the battle is started. On the battle screen, first, rotation of each technique slot 35 is started. Each player presses a predetermined operation button to stop his / her skill slot 35 and determines a setup technique for the player character. When the set-up technique is determined, the rotation of each number slot 36 is subsequently started. Each player similarly presses a predetermined operation button to stop his / her number slot 36. Then, the superiority or inferiority of the player is determined by the outcome of the number slot 36. That is, the player with the larger number in the number slot 36 is determined to be “dominant”, and an attack screen (see FIG. 10) is displayed in which the player character determined to be “dominant” attacks the other character. Is done. When the physical strength value of one player character becomes zero, the player becomes a “loser” and the round ends. When the third round ends, the “player battle” ends, and one new game card 10 is discharged from the card discharge port 1010.

[Function configuration]
FIG. 11 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the game apparatus 1000. According to the figure, the game apparatus 1000 functionally includes an operation input unit 110, a card reader 1102, a processing unit 200, an image display unit 130, a sound output unit 140, and a storage unit 300. Configured.

  The operation input unit 110 receives an operation instruction input from the player and outputs an operation signal corresponding to the operation to the processing unit 200. This function is realized by, for example, a button switch, lever, dial, mouse, keyboard, various sensors, and the like. In FIG. 1, the operation button groups 1104a and 1104b correspond to this.

  The processing unit 200 performs overall control of the game apparatus 1000 and progress of the game based on the program and data read from the storage unit 300, the operation signal input from the operation input unit 110, the card ID input from the card reader 1102, and the like. Various arithmetic processes such as image generation are performed. This function is realized by, for example, an arithmetic device such as a CPU (CISC type, RISC type), ASIC (gate array, etc.) or a control program thereof. In FIG. 1, a CPU or the like mounted on the system board 1200 corresponds to this. The processing unit 200 includes a game calculation unit 210 that mainly performs calculation processing related to game execution, an image generation unit 230 that generates a game image based on various data obtained by the processing of the game calculation unit 210, And a sound generator 240 for generating game sounds such as sound effects and BGM.

  The game calculation unit 210 includes a character setting unit 211 and a slot control unit 212, and executes the battle game of the present embodiment. Specifically, when the battle mode is “COM battle”, a COM battle in which the player character and the enemy character battle each other is performed. When the battle mode is “player battle”, a player battle in which the player characters of the two players battle each other is performed.

  The character setting unit 211 sets a player character based on the card ID of the game card 10 read by the card reader 1102. Specifically, when the card ID of the game card 10 read from the card reader 1102 is input, the type (card type) of the game card 10 corresponding to the card ID is determined with reference to the card data group 321. . If the determined card type is “character card”, the character defined in this “character card” is set as the player character. If the reading of the character card is canceled or if the character card is not read within a predetermined time limit, the character defined on the predetermined character card is set as the player character. .

  Next, when the game card 10 of the “enhancement card” is read, the attack power of each ordinary skill of the player character is changed based on the reinforcement level of each ordinary technique defined in this “enhancement card”. Specifically, for each ordinary skill, a value obtained by multiplying the determined basic attack power by the reinforcement level defined in the “enhancement card” is set as the attack power of the ordinary technique.

  Subsequently, when the game card 10 of “special card” is read, the special technique defined in the “special card” is set as the special technique of the player character. Further, if the player character is a friendly character defined for the special card, the attack power of the special technique is increased (for example, “1.2 times the basic attack power” is set as the attack power).

  The card data group 321 is composed of a plurality of card data 322 that is data for each game card 10, and each card data 322 has a different data configuration depending on the type of the corresponding game card 10.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data configuration of the card data 322A of the “character card”. According to the figure, the card data 322A of “character card” stores the corresponding card ID 322a, the card type 322b, and the character data 322c for the character defined for the card. In the card type 322b, a value “character” indicating “character card” is set. The character data 322c includes a character type 322d of the character, ordinary skill data 322e, and slot pattern data 322i. The ordinary skill data 322e is data of ordinary skills that can be activated by the character. For each of the three kinds of ordinary skills 322f of “α”, “β”, and “γ”, a name 322g and a basic attack power 322h are provided. Stored in association. The slot pattern data 322i is data relating to the slot group 34 of the character, and stores a predetermined slot pattern pattern ID 322k in association with each slot type 322j.

  Here, the slot pattern data is stored in the technique slot data 323 for the technique slot 35 and stored in the number slot data 324 for the number slot 36.

  FIG. 13 is a view showing an example of the data structure of the trick slot data 323. As shown in FIG. According to the figure, the technique slot data 323 stores a pattern ID 323a, a reel pattern 323b, and an outcome probability table 323e of the corresponding technique slot 35. The reel pattern 323b stores, for each slot slot 323c of the reel of the technique slot 35, the technique 323d set to the slot in association with each other. The outcome probability table 323e stores, for each technique 323f, the number 323g of the slot in which the technique is set in the reel pattern 323b and the outcome probability 323h in association with each other. The appearance probability 323h is determined according to the number 323g of the corresponding slot, and is specifically given as a ratio of the number 323g of the slot to the total number of slots.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of the data configuration of the numeric slot data 324. As shown in FIG. According to the figure, the numeric slot data 324 stores the pattern ID 324a and the reel pattern 324b of the relevant numeric slot 36. The reel pattern 324b stores a number 324d to be set for each slot slot 324c of the number slot 36 in association with the number.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data configuration of the card data 322B of the “enhancement card”. According to the figure, the card data 322B of “enhanced card” stores the corresponding card ID, card ID 322a, card type 322b, and enhanced data 322l. In the card type 322b, a value “enhanced” indicating that it is an “enhanced card” is set. The strengthening data 322l stores the strengthening level 322n in association with each of the three types of ordinary techniques 322m of “α”, “β”, and “γ”.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data configuration of the card data 322C of “special card”. According to the figure, the card data 322C of “special card” stores the corresponding card ID 322a, card type 322b, and special technique data 322o. In the card type 322b, a value “special” indicating a “special card” is set. The special technique data 322o stores a name 322p of a special technique defined for the card, a basic attack power 322q, and a friendly character 322r.

  The character setting unit 211 sets an enemy character that is a computer-controlled character in the COM battle. Specifically, referring to the card data group 321, for example, one card is randomly selected from the character cards, and the character defined in the selected card is set as the enemy character. Next, one card is selected from the reinforced cards according to the reinforced card selection condition table 325, and the level of the enemy character's normal skill is changed (enhanced) according to the set value of the selected card.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data configuration of the reinforced card selection condition table 325. As illustrated in FIG. According to the figure, the strengthening card selection condition table 325 stores a round 325a, a difficulty level 325b, and a strengthening card selection condition 325c in association with each other. The selection condition 325c is a condition for the enhancement level of each ordinary skill set in the enhancement card. The selection condition 325c is determined so that the stronger the round or the difficulty level, the higher the enhancement card can be selected. It has been. For example, when the difficulty level is “normal”, it is not possible to select an enhancement card with an enhancement level of “4” or higher in round “1”, but an enhancement level “4” in round “2”. You can select an enhanced card that is set to. In the round “3”, it is possible to select a card in which only one “5” is included in the set reinforcement level. Even in round “3”, if the difficulty level is “ordinary”, a card having only one “5” in the set reinforcement level can be selected, but the difficulty level is “3”. If it is “difficult”, it is possible to select a card that includes two “5” in the set reinforcement level.

  Subsequently, the character setting unit 211 selects, for example, one card randomly from the special cards, and sets the special technique determined for the selected card as the special technique of the enemy character. Here, data on the set player character and enemy character is stored in the battle data 331.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data configuration of the battle data 331. According to the figure, the battle data 331 stores the character type 331a, the current physical strength value 331b, the set technique data 331c, the setup technique 331g, and the slot setting data 331h for each of the player character and the enemy character. Has been. The set technique data 331c is data on a technique set for the corresponding character, and stores the set technique name 331e and the attack power 331f in association with each technique 331d. The slot setting data 331h is data regarding the slot group 34 of the corresponding character, and stores a slot type 331i and a pattern ID 331j for designating the setting pattern of the slot in association with each other.

  The slot control unit 212 controls the slot group 34 (the technique slot 35 and the number slot 36) of each character to battle. Specifically, first, referring to the battle data 331, the reels of the skill slots 35 of the player character and the enemy character are set. That is, the technique slot 35 is set according to the technique slot data 323 of the pattern ID defined in the slot setting data 331h. Specifically, according to the reel pattern 323 b of the technique slot data 323, the arrangement of each slot of the technique slot 35 is determined. In addition, according to the outcome probability table 323e, a technique to be found in the technique slot 35 is determined. Thereafter, the rotation of the technique slot 35 is started.

  Then, when an instruction to stop the technique slot 35 is input by the player from the operation input unit 110, stop control of the technique slot 35 of the player character is started. That is, the rotational speed of the reel is gradually decelerated and stopped. At this time, the degree of deceleration and the time until the stop are appropriately adjusted so as to be caught by the technique determined as the outcome. Then, the outcome technique of the technique slot 35 is set as a setup technique for the player character.

  Further, with respect to the skill slot 35 of the enemy character, referring to the slot stop timing table 328, stop control is started at the stop start timing determined for the enemy character. At this time, the degree of deceleration of the reel and the time until the stop are appropriately adjusted so as to be caught by the technique determined as the outcome. Then, the outcome technique of the technique slot 35 is set as an enemy character setup technique.

  FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data configuration of the slot stop timing table 328. According to the figure, the slot stop timing table 328 stores a slot type 328b and a stop start timing 328c of the slot in association with each character type 328a.

  When the technique slot 35 stops, the reels of the number slots 36 of the player character and the enemy character are set. Specifically, the battle data 331 is referred to, the number slot data 324 of the pattern ID defined by the slot setting data 331h is referred to, and the reel of the number slot 36 is set. That is, according to the reel pattern 324b of the number slot data 324, the arrangement of the slots of the number slot 36 is determined.

  Subsequently, the superiority or inferiority of the player character and the enemy character is determined based on the respective current physical strength values. Specifically, the level of the physical strength value between the player character and the enemy character is determined. That is, if the difference in the current physical strength value between the player character and the enemy character is equal to or less than a predetermined value (for example, “5”), it is determined as “small difference”. Also, if the player character's physical strength value is higher than the enemy character's physical strength value and the difference in physical strength value exceeds "5", it is determined that the player is high, and the player character's physical strength value is that of the enemy character. If the physical strength value difference is lower than the value and exceeds “5”, it is determined that “the player is low”.

  Also, the player status is determined. In other words, based on the player character's physical strength value and the attack power of the enemy character's setup technique, if it is determined that the player character's physical strength value will be zero upon the next attack from the enemy character, the player character is determined to be “player pinch”. If not, it is determined as “normal”. Then, based on the determined level of physical strength value of each character and the player situation, the player dominance probability table 326 is referred to determine the probability of dominating the player (dominance probability).

  FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data configuration of the player advantage probability table 326. As illustrated in FIG. According to the figure, the player dominance probability table 326 is generated for each difficulty level, and associates the round 326a, the level of physical strength 326b of each character, the player situation 326c, and the dominance probability 326d of the player character. Storing. The superiority probability 326d is determined to be larger (higher) as the round is smaller, and when the player character's physical strength value is lower than the enemy character's physical strength value or when the player status is "player pinch". . Furthermore, it is determined that the higher the difficulty level, the smaller the probability of dominance.

  When the player's dominance probability is determined, the player character's setup skill is determined, and if it is a special technique, the determined dominance probability is increased by a predetermined value (eg, “5%”). Next, a probability calculation according to the dominance probability is performed to determine whether or not the player character is to be “dominant”. The probability calculation at this time is realized using a known random calculation. For example, when the dominance probability is “70% (0.7)”, a number of “0.0 to 1.0” is randomly generated. If the generated number is “0.7” or less, “dominance” is generated. Judge. If it is determined that the player character is “dominant”, it is further determined with reference to the clot occurrence probability table 327 whether or not to generate a crest in the slot group 34 of the player character.

  FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data configuration of the gaze occurrence probability table 327. According to the figure, the cell occurrence probability table 327 stores the round 327a, the difficulty 327b, and the cell occurrence probability 327c in association with each other. The occurrence probability 327c is determined to be smaller as the round is larger or the difficulty level is higher.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the player character is not “dominated”, then it is determined at random, for example, whether the enemy character is “dominated” or “aiko”. Then, when it is determined that the enemy character is “dominant”, it is further determined whether or not to cause the enemy character slot group 34 to generate a slot according to the slot generation probability table 327.

  As described above, when the superiority or inferiority of the player character and the enemy character (“dominant”, “inferior” or “Aiko” of the player character) is determined, the number slot 36 of each character is set so that the determined superiority or inferiority is subsequently established. Determine the outcome. Specifically, when the player character is “dominated” and a slot is generated in the slot group 34 of the player character, the number slot 36 of the player character is determined as the outcome of the technique slot 35. The outcome of the enemy character's number slot 36 is, for example, a randomly selected number from among the numbers “1-5”. Further, when the player character is “dominated” but no slot is generated in the slot group 34 of the player character, the number of the player character's number slot 36 is determined from among the numbers “2” or more, for example, The numbers selected at random are the numbers of the enemy character's number slot 36, and for example, a number selected at random from among the “numbers” smaller than the number of the determined player character's number slot 36.

  Further, when the enemy character is set to “dominate” and the slot character 34 is generated in the enemy character slot group 34, the player character's number slot 36 is output from among the numbers “1 to 5”. For example, a randomly selected number is used, and the appearance of the enemy character's number slot 36 is the output of the technique slot 35. Further, when the enemy character is “dominated” but no slot is generated in the slot group 342 of the enemy character, the number of the player character's number slot 36 is determined from among the numbers “4” or less, for example, It is assumed that the number is a randomly selected number, and the number of the enemy character's number slot 36 is a number selected, for example, from among the numbers larger than the number of the determined player character's number slot 36. Further, in the case of “Aiko”, the player character's number slot 36 is set to a randomly selected number from among the numbers “1 to 5”, and the enemy character's number slot 36 is set to the output. This is the same as the outcome of the determined number slot 36 of the player character.

  When the numbers of the number slots 36 of the player character and the enemy character are determined, the rotation of each number slot 36 is started. Then, when a stop instruction for the number slot 36 is input by the player from the operation input unit 110, stop control of the number slot 36 of the player character is started so as to stop at the determined number. In addition, for the enemy character number slot 36, stop control is started so as to stop at the determined number at the timing determined in the slot stop timing table 328.

  In FIG. 11, the image generation unit 230 generates a game image for displaying a game screen based on the calculation result by the game calculation unit 210, and outputs an image signal of the generated image to the image display unit 130. Based on the image signal from the image generation unit 230, the image display unit 130 displays the game screen while redrawing the screen of one frame every 1/60 seconds, for example. This function is realized by hardware such as CRT, LCD, ELD, PDP, and HMD. In FIG. 1, the display 1002 corresponds to this.

  The sound generation unit 240 generates game sounds such as sound effects and BGM used during the game, and outputs a sound signal of the generated game sound to the sound output unit 140. The sound output unit 140 outputs game sounds such as BGM and sound effects based on the sound signal from the sound generation unit 240. This function is realized by, for example, a speaker. In FIG. 1, the speaker 1004 corresponds to this.

  The storage unit 300 stores a system program for realizing various functions for causing the processing unit 200 to control the game apparatus 1000 in an integrated manner, a program and data necessary for executing the game, and the processing unit. 200 is used as a work area, and temporarily stores calculation results executed by the processing unit 200 according to various programs, input data input from the operation input unit 110, and the like. This function is realized by, for example, various IC memories, hard disks, CD-ROMs, DVDs, MOs, RAMs, VRAMs, and the like. In FIG. 1, an IC memory or the like mounted on the system board 1200 corresponds to this.

  In the present embodiment, the storage unit 300 stores a game program 310 for causing the game calculation unit 210 to execute the battle game of the present embodiment as a program, and as data, a card data group 321, a technique slot Data 323, number slot data 324, reinforcement card selection condition table 325, player dominance probability table 326, gaze occurrence probability table 327, slot stop timing table 328, and battle data 331 are stored.

[Process flow]
FIG. 22 is a diagram for explaining the flow of the game process. This process is realized by the game calculation unit 210 executing the game program 310. According to the figure, the game calculation unit 210 first displays a battle mode selection screen on the image display unit 130, and determines the battle mode according to the player's selection operation input from the operation input unit 110 (step A1). If the selected battle mode is “player battle” (step A3: “player battle”), a predetermined player battle process is performed (step A31).

  On the other hand, if the selected battle mode is “COM battle” (step A3: “COM battle”), then, a difficulty level selection screen is displayed on the image display unit 130, and player selection input from the operation input unit 110 is selected. The difficulty level is determined according to the operation (step A5). Subsequently, the character setting unit 211 refers to the card data group 321 and sets the player character PC based on the card ID of the game card 10 input from the card reader 1102 (step A7).

  Thereafter, a battle process is performed in which the player character and the enemy character battle each other. First, as an initial setting, the current round is set to “1” (step A9). Next, the character setting unit 211 refers to the card data group 321 and sets an enemy character to play against the player character (step A11). Subsequently, the slot control unit 212 performs a technique slot process for determining the setup technique by controlling the technique slot 35 of each character (step A13).

  FIG. 23 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of the trick slot process. According to the figure, the slot control unit 212 refers to the corresponding technique slot data 323 and sets the reels of the technique slots 35 of the player character and the enemy character (step B1). Next, with reference to the corresponding skill strut data 323, the outcome technique of the skill slot 35 of each player character and enemy character is determined (step B3). Thereafter, rotation of each technique slot 35 is started (step B5).

  Then, if a stop instruction of a technique slot by the player is input from the operation input unit 110 (step B7: YES), stop control of the technique slot 35 of the player character is started so as to stop at the determined technique (step B7: YES). Step B9). Further, when the stop timing of the enemy character's technique slot 35 determined by the slot stop timing table 328 is reached (step B11: YES), the enemy character's technique slot 35 is stopped so as to stop at the determined technique. Control is started (step B13).

  Subsequently, the slot control unit 212 determines whether or not an elapsed time from the rotation start of the technique slot 35 has reached a predetermined time limit (for example, “10 seconds”), and if not (step (step) (B15: NO), the process returns to step B7. On the other hand, if the time limit has been reached (step B15: YES), it is determined whether there is a technique slot 35 for which stop control has not been started. If there is a technique slot 35 for which stop control has not been started (step B17: YES), the corresponding technique slot data 323 is referred to, and the outcome technique of the technique slot 35 is determined (step B19). Then, stop control of the technique slot 35 is started so as to stop at the determined technique (step B21).

  Thereafter, the slot control unit 212 determines whether or not the rotation of all the technique slots 35 is stopped. If the rotation is stopped (step B23: YES), the slot technique is changed to a corresponding character. Is set as a setup technique (step B27). When the above processing is performed, the technique slot processing is terminated.

  When the technique slot process is completed, the slot control unit 212 subsequently performs a number slot process for controlling the number slot 36 of each character to determine the victory or defeat of the character (step A15).

  FIG. 24 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of the number slot process. According to the figure, the slot control unit 212 refers to the corresponding number slot data 324 and sets the reel of the number slot 36 of each character (step C1).

  Next, the current physical strength values of the player character and the enemy character are determined (step C3). Further, the player situation is determined based on the physical strength value of the player character and the attack power of the setup skill of the enemy character (step C5). Based on the determined physical strength value and the player situation, the player's superiority probability is determined with reference to the player's superiority probability table 326 (step C7). Subsequently, if the setup technique of the player character is a special technique (step C9: YES), the determined superiority probability is increased by a predetermined value (eg, “5%”) (step C11). Thereafter, by performing a predetermined probability calculation according to the determined superiority probability, it is determined whether or not the player character is to be “dominant” (step C13).

  If the player character is set to “dominant” (step C15: YES), it is further determined whether or not to generate a slot in the slot group 34 of the player character according to the slot generation probability table 327 (step C17). ). On the other hand, if the player character is not “dominant” (step C15: NO), then it is determined whether the enemy character is “dominant” or “aiko” (step C19). If the enemy character is to be “dominant” (step C21: YES), it is further determined whether or not to cause the enemy character slot group 34 to generate a slot according to the slot generation probability table 327 (step C23). ).

  As described above, when the superiority or inferiority of the player character and the enemy character is determined, the number of the player in the number slot 36 of each player is determined so that the determined superiority or inferiority is established (step C25). Thereafter, the rotation of the number slot 36 of each character is started (step C27).

  Then, if an instruction to stop the number slot 36 is input from the operation input unit 110 (step C29: YES), stop control of the number slot 36 of the player character is started so as to stop at the determined number. (Step C31). Also, when the stop timing of the enemy character's number slot 36 determined in the slot stop timing table 328 is reached (step C33: YES), the enemy character's number slot is set to stop at the determined number. 36 stop control is started (step C35). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not an elapsed time from the start of rotation of the number slot 36 has reached a predetermined time limit (for example, “10 seconds”). If not (step C37: NO), step Return to C29.

  On the other hand, if the time limit has been reached (step C37: YES), it is determined whether there is a number slot 36 for which stop control has not been started. If there is a number slot 36 for which stop control has not been started (step C39: YES), stop control for the number slot 36 is started so as to stop at the determined number of the number slot 36 (step C39: YES) Step C41). Then, it is determined whether or not the rotation of all the number slots 36 has been stopped. If the rotation has stopped (step C43; YES), the player character and the enemy character are determined based on the numbers output from the number slots 36. The superiority or inferiority is judged (step C45). When the above processing is performed, the number slot processing is terminated.

  When the number slot process ends, the game calculation unit 210 determines the superiority or inferiority of the player character and the enemy character based on the outcome of each number slot 36, and if it is “Aiko” (step A17: NO), step A13 Return to.

  On the other hand, if the superiority or inferiority of the player character and the enemy character is not “Aiko” (step A17: YES), an attack effect is performed in which the “dominant” character attacks the “inferior” character. That is, an attack screen (see FIG. 10) on which the “dominant” character attacks the “inferior” character by activating the setup technique is displayed on the image display unit 130. Then, the physical strength value of the “inferior” character is decreased according to the attack power of the setup skill of the “dominant” character (step A19). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the physical strength value of the attacked character (ie, “inferior” character) has become zero. If not (zero in step A21), the process returns to step A13.

  On the other hand, if the physical strength value of the attacked character becomes zero (step A21: YES), this character is regarded as a “loser” and the current round is ended, and a predetermined number of rounds (for example, “3 rounds”) It is determined whether or not the process has ended. If the predetermined number of rounds has not ended (step A23: NO), it is subsequently determined whether or not the player character is a “winner” of the current round. If the player character is “winner” (step A25: YES), the next round is started (step A27), and the process returns to step A11.

  On the other hand, if a predetermined number of rounds have been completed (step A23: YES), or if the player character is “loser” (step A25: NO), a game over effect such as displaying a battle result screen displaying the battle results of each round is displayed. (Step A29). Thereafter, for example, a new game card 10 selected at random is discharged (step A33). When the above processing is performed, the game calculation unit 210 ends the game processing.

[Action / Effect]
Thus, according to the present invention, on the battle screen between the player character PC and the enemy character EC, as the slot group 34 for each character, the technique slot 35 for determining the technique to be activated by the character, the attack side A number slot 36 for determining the character is displayed. In the technique slot 35, a plurality of kinds of techniques that can be activated by the character are set as slots, and in the number slot 36, a plurality of kinds of numbers and the outcome technique of the technique slot 35 for determining the superiority or inferiority of the character are set. Is set as the slot number. Then, the character that is rotated and stopped in the order of the technique slot 35 and then the number slot 36 and is determined to be “dominant” by the magnitude of the number in the technique slot 35 is “inferior” Attacks the character that is judged as "."

  This makes it possible to realize a battle game with new fun in the course of determination by the attacking player, in which the attacking attack is first determined by the technique slot 35 and then the attacking player is determined by the number slot 36. . The player can enjoy a thrilling feeling until the outcome of the slot is determined. Further, when a “groove” in which the outcomes of the two slots (the technique slot 35 and the number slot 36) are aligned occurs, the player is determined to be “dominant” and attacks the opponent player's character. You can also add the fun unique to slots, such as increasing your attack power.
