Description

  The present invention relates to a game program, and more particularly to a game program having a graphical interface for controlling movement of a flying object by a user operation in a virtual space.

  Golf games that simulate golf on a virtual golf course are known. In such a golf game, as a shot operation method for hitting a ball (hereinafter referred to as “shot”), an operation method in which a specific button on a controller of a game device is pressed three times is generally used. (For example, see Patent Document 1). Further, in the shot operation, in order to make it easy to visually understand the timing of button input, it is common to display a gauge that moves the cursor in accordance with the shot operation.

Japanese Patent No. 3511518

  In actual golf that people play, for example, the more you put in force to make a large flight distance, the more sacrificed the ball direction control and shot timing, so "flying distance" "control" "timing" In many cases, priority is given to any one of "" to concentrate on each shot. However, in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, the operation for determining the power for obtaining the flight distance and the operation for determining the shot position / shot timing of the ball are independent. Since an excellent shot can be made at all “timing”, it is not a faithful reproduction of an actual golf game.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a game program that reproduces actual golf more faithfully, particularly with respect to shot operations.

According to the present invention,
A game program in which the movement of a flying object in a virtual space is controlled by a user operation,
The terminal
Gauge display section to display the gauge,
A first cursor display unit for displaying a first cursor at a first initial position in the gauge;
A second cursor display unit for displaying a second cursor at a second initial position within the gauge and away from the first initial position;
A first cursor moving unit that moves the first cursor from the first initial position toward the second cursor in the gauge by a first user operation;
A first cursor stop unit that stops the movement of the first cursor by a second user operation;
A second cursor moving unit configured to move the inside of the gauge toward the first cursor where the second cursor is stopped by the second user operation;
A second cursor stop unit that stops the movement of the second cursor by a third user operation;
A distance calculation unit for calculating a flying distance of the flying object according to a distance between the first initial position and the stopped first cursor;
A direction calculation unit that calculates the flying direction of the flying object according to the positional relationship between the second initial position and the midpoint between the stopped first cursor and the stopped second cursor;
A movement control unit that controls movement of the flying object in the virtual space according to the calculation result by the distance calculation unit and the direction calculation unit,
As a result, a game program is obtained.

  According to the present invention, when it is attempted to secure a large amount of power so as to give priority to the flight distance, it becomes difficult to adjust the timing, so that it is possible to reproduce the actual operational feeling of golf.

(First embodiment)
The game program according to the first embodiment of the present invention is a game executed on a terminal provided with a touch panel. In the game, the movement of the flying object (ball, shuttle, wing, etc.) in the virtual space is controlled according to the user's operation on the touch panel, and the game progresses. In the following description, a shot operation of a golf game will be described as an example. However, the game to which the present invention can be applied is not only a golf game but also a baseball game, a tennis game, a basketball game, a soccer game, a badminton game, etc. The present invention can be applied to all games (mainly ball games) in which flying the body is an element of game progress.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the smartphone 1 includes a touch panel 2, and a user can operate a game character via the touch panel 2. Note that the terminal on which the user interface program according to the present embodiment is executed is not limited to the smartphone 1 and can be executed as long as the terminal includes a touch panel such as a device such as a PDA or a tablet computer.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the smartphone 1 includes a CPU 3, a main memory 4, an auxiliary memory 5, a transmission / reception unit 6, a display unit 7, and an input unit 8 that are connected to each other via a bus. Of these, the main memory 3 is composed of, for example, a DRAM, and the auxiliary memory 4 is composed of, for example, an HDD. The auxiliary memory 4 stores a user interface program according to the present embodiment. The user interface program is expanded on the main memory 3 and executed by the CPU 2. Note that the main memory 3 also temporarily stores data generated while the CPU 3 is operating according to the user interface program and data used by the CPU 3. The transmission / reception unit 5 establishes a connection between the smartphone 1 and the network under the control of the CPU 3. The input unit 8 detects an operation on the touch pal 2 by the user and detects that an operation has been performed on the terminal.

  The display unit 6 and the input unit 8 in the present embodiment correspond to the touch panel 2 described above. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the touch sensing unit 301 corresponding to the input unit 8 and the liquid crystal display unit 302 corresponding to the display unit 6. And have. The touch panel 2 displays an image under the control of the CPU 2, accepts an interactive touch operation (such as a physical contact operation on the touch panel 2) by the player, and displays a corresponding graphic on the liquid crystal display based on the control of the control unit 303. Displayed on the unit 302. Specifically, the touch sensing unit 301 outputs an operation signal corresponding to the touch operation by the player to the control unit 303. The player's touch operation may be performed by the player's finger, a stylus, or the like. For example, a capacitance type can be adopted as the touch sensing unit, but the touch sensing unit is not limited to this. When the control unit 303 detects an operation signal from the touch sensing unit 301, the control unit 303 determines as an operation instruction to the user character, and transmits an image (not shown) corresponding to the instruction operation to the liquid crystal display unit as a display signal. (Details will be described later). The liquid crystal display unit 302 displays a graphic corresponding to the display signal.

  Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 4 thru | or FIG. 11, how the game program by this Embodiment performs the baseball game by making the smart phone 1 function is demonstrated.

<Overview of shot operation>
As shown in FIG. 4, the golf game according to the present embodiment proceeds when the user performs a shot operation (details will be described later) of the player object. The golf rules themselves are the same as in actual golf.

<Operation key display>
As shown in FIG. 4, when the operation key display unit user's finger 80 performs a long press operation (operation to perform contact for a predetermined time or longer) at any location on the touch panel 2, the long press operation is performed ( Hereinafter, a plurality of operation keys 200 are displayed around the “long press point”. The operation keys 200 according to the present embodiment are displayed radially upward from the long press point, and each operation key 200 has a club name such as “1W”, “3W”, “1I”, “PW” and “SW”. A letter indicating the type is attached.

<Operation key determination unit>
When a swipe operation is performed on any of the operation keys 200 while the operation key 200 is displayed, the operation key determination unit displays “1W”, “3W”, “1I”, “ It is determined to which operation key “PW” and “SW” the swipe operation is performed. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a swipe operation is performed on “1W”.

<Club display section>
The club display unit displays an image corresponding to the club on which the swipe operation has been performed. That is, in the above example, an image of the club 110 corresponding to “1W” is displayed. Each club is assigned parameters that affect the flight of the ball 120 such as the club ability, that is, the flight distance, speed, and controllability. For example, “1W” has a greater flight distance than “3W”.

<Gauge display section, first cursor display section, second cursor display section>
When the club type is determined, a gauge 300 for a shot operation, a power cursor 310, and a timing cursor 320 are displayed as shown in FIG. As shown in the drawing, the gauge 300 has a horizontally long shape, and the power cursor 310 and the timing cursor 320 are located at both ends thereof. That is, the power cursor 310 is located at the right end (first initial position) of the gauge 300, and the timing cursor 320 is located at the left end (second initial position) of the gauge 300.

<First cursor moving unit>
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the first cursor moving unit moves the first cursor 310 from the right end of the gauge 300 toward the second cursor 320 by a tap operation (one user operation) with the user's finger 80 ( That is, the gauge 300 is moved (toward the left end). Note that the moving speed of the first cursor may be in accordance with the type of the selected club (that is, the operation key on which the swipe operation has been performed).

<First cursor stop>
As shown in FIG. 7, when the user's finger 80 taps the touch panel 2 again (second user operation) while the first cursor 310 is moving, the first cursor stop unit moves the first cursor. (Hereinafter, the position where the first cursor is stopped is referred to as “first cursor stop position”).

<Second cursor moving part>
As shown in FIG. 8, the second cursor moving unit moves the second cursor in the gauge toward the stopped first cursor (toward the right end) at the same time when the above-described second user operation is performed. . That is, when the second user operation is performed, the first cursor stop unit stops the movement of the first cursor, and the second cursor movement unit moves the second cursor.

<Second cursor stop part>
As shown in FIG. 9, when the user's finger 80 taps the touch panel 2 again (third user operation) while the second cursor is moving, the second cursor stop unit moves the second cursor 320. (Hereinafter, the position where the second cursor is stopped is referred to as “second cursor stop position”). When the second cursor 320 comes into contact with the first cursor 310, a miss shot process (described later in detail) is performed.

<Distance calculation unit, direction calculation unit>
When a shot operation composed of the first user operation to the third user operation is performed, the distance calculation unit calculates the flight distance of the ball 120 according to the distance between the first initial position and the first cursor stop unit. To do. In the present embodiment, the flight distance increases as the first cursor stop position is at the left end. Further, depending on the type of the selected club (that is, the operation key for which the swipe operation has been performed), some parameter may be influenced on the flight distance. For example, when 1 W is selected, the calculated flight distance may be multiplied by “1.5”, and when 3 W is selected, “1.1” may be multiplied. As described above, if the parameter is changed according to the selected club, it is possible to approximate the movement mode of the ball in actual golf. On the other hand, the direction calculation unit calculates the flight direction (flight path) of the ball 120 according to the distance between the first cursor stop position and the second cursor stop position. In the present embodiment, as the second cursor stop position is closer to the first cursor stop position, the probability of hitting the center of the ball 120 increases and the ball 120 can be blown straight.

  In the present embodiment, it is possible to set a path (direction) for the ball 120 to fly by the user before the shot operation. The route may be set by, for example, operating the direction of an arrow displayed on the screen or changing the body direction of the player character, but is not limited thereto. In this case, the direction calculation unit may increase the probability that the ball 120 will fly along the set route as the second cursor stop position is closer to the first cursor stop position.

  Here, when the second cursor 320 comes into contact with the first cursor 310, a miss shot process is performed. Specifically, the direction calculation unit randomly determines the direction (or path to fly) of the ball 120 to fly. Note that the flight distance may be set to zero and an “idle swing” image may be displayed.

<Movement control unit>
As shown in FIG. 10, the movement control unit controls the movement of the ball 120 in the game field 50 according to the calculation results by the distance calculation unit and the direction calculation unit described above.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, as the stop position of the first cursor 310 is moved to the left end, the range in which the second cursor 320 can move (that is, the second initial position and the first cursor stop). Since the distance to the position becomes narrow, the timing of the second operation (tap operation) on the second cursor 320 becomes difficult to take. That is, the priority is given to the flight distance, and the controllability of the ball 120 (the probability of hitting the center of the ball 120 or the probability of moving along the set route) decreases. On the other hand, the farther the stop position of the first cursor 310 is from the left end, the wider the range in which the second cursor 320 can move, so the timing of the third operation (tap operation) on the second cursor 320 becomes easier. That is, the priority is given to the flight distance, and the controllability of the ball 120 (the probability of hitting the center of the ball 120 or the probability of moving along the set route) increases. Thus, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to perform a shot operation that is closer to real golf.

(Second Embodiment)
The game program according to the second embodiment of the present invention is a modification of the above-described game program according to the first embodiment, and specifically, the movement of the second cursor is different. That is, “operation key display unit”, “operation key determination unit”, “club display unit”, “gauge display unit”, “first cursor display unit”, “second cursor display unit”, “ The “first cursor moving unit” and “first cursor stop unit” are included in the game program according to the second embodiment, although a part of the description is omitted, and are the same as those in the first embodiment described above. Functions and acts on In the following description, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and in FIG. 11, only the state near the gauge is shown in order to clarify the difference from the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, as in the first embodiment, the first cursor 310 and the second cursor 320 are displayed at both ends of the gauge 300 (first cursor display). When the user performs a tap operation (first user operation), the first cursor 310 moves in the direction of the second cursor 320 (first cursor moving unit). . Further, as shown in FIGS. 11C and 11D, when the user performs another tap operation (second user operation), the first cursor 310 stops moving (first cursor stop unit). At the same time, the second cursor 320 is moved toward the right end (second cursor moving unit).

  This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the points of FIGS. 11 (e) to 11 (h). That is, as shown in FIGS. 11E and 11F, the movement of the second cursor moving unit and the second cursor 320 according to the present embodiment is controlled so as to pass over the first cursor 310, and FIG. As shown in (g), the direction of movement is reversed when the second cursor 320 reaches the right end, which is the opposite end of the gauge. If the user performs a tap operation (third user operation) while the inverted second cursor 320 is moving toward the left end, the second cursor 320 stops as shown in FIG. . The moving speed of the second cursor 320 in the present embodiment is controlled so as to increase as the first cursor stop position is closer to the left end.

  The distance calculation unit in the present embodiment calculates the flight distance of the ball 120 according to the distance between the first initial position and the first cursor stop unit. As in the first embodiment, the flight distance increases as the first cursor stop position is at the left end. On the other hand, the direction calculation unit calculates the flight direction (flight path) of the ball 120 according to the distance between the first cursor stop position and the second cursor stop position where the inverted second cursor 320 stops. Also in the present embodiment, as the second cursor stop position is closer to the first cursor stop position, the probability of hitting the center of the ball 120 increases and the ball 120 can be blown straight.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, as the stop position of the first cursor 310 is moved to the left end, the speed of the second cursor 320 becomes faster. The difficulty level of tap operation increases. That is, the priority is given to the flight distance, and the controllability of the ball 120 (the probability of hitting the center of the ball 120 or the probability of moving along the set route) decreases. On the other hand, the farther the stop position of the first cursor 310 is from the left end, the slower the speed of the second cursor 320, so the difficulty of the third operation (tap operation) on the second cursor 320 decreases (= stopped). It is easy to stop immediately before the first cursor 310). That is, the priority is given to the flight distance, and the controllability of the ball 120 (the probability of hitting the center of the ball 120 or the probability of moving along the set route) increases. Thus, the shot operation closer to the actual golf can be performed also by the present embodiment.

  In this embodiment, at least one of the cases before the reverse movement (that is, when the second cursor 320 is moving toward the right end) and when the second cursor 320 is in contact with the first cursor. In addition, the above-described miss shot process is performed.

(Third embodiment)
The game program according to the third embodiment of the present invention is also a modification of the game program according to the first embodiment described above. Specifically, the processing of the direction calculation unit based on the stop position of the second cursor and The difference is that “target anchor” is displayed. That is, “operation key display unit”, “operation key determination unit”, “club display unit”, “gauge display unit”, “first cursor display unit”, “second cursor display unit”, “ The “first cursor moving unit” and “first cursor stop unit” are included in the game program according to the third embodiment, although a part of the description is omitted, and are the same as in the first embodiment described above. Functions and acts on In the following description, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and in FIG. 12, only the state near the gauge is shown in order to clarify the difference from the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, as in the first embodiment, the first cursor 310 and the second cursor 320 are displayed at both ends of the gauge 300 (first cursor display). When the user performs a tap operation (first user operation), the first cursor 310 moves in the direction of the second cursor 320 (first cursor moving unit). .

  This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the points of FIGS. 12C to 12E. As shown in FIGS. 12C and 12D, when the user performs another tap operation (second user operation), the first cursor 310 stops moving (first cursor stop unit), A target anchor 330 is displayed at an intermediate point between the position where the second cursor 320 is displayed (second initial position) and the position where the first cursor 310 is stopped (first cursor stop position). It is moved toward the right end (second cursor moving unit). If the user performs another tap operation (third user operation) while the second cursor 320 is moving, the second cursor stops. FIG. 12 (e) shows an example of just stopping on the target anchor 330.

  The distance calculation unit in the present embodiment also calculates the flight distance of the ball 120 according to the distance between the first initial position and the first cursor stop unit, as in the first embodiment, and the first embodiment Similarly, the flight distance is increased as the first cursor stop position is at the left end. On the other hand, the direction calculation unit calculates the flying direction (or path) of the ball 120 based on the positional relationship between the second cursor 320 and the target anchor 330. That is, as shown in FIG. 13, the shorter the distance from the target anchor 330 is, the more the ball 120 flies straight (or along the set route) along the locus L. However, as shown in FIG. 14, when the second cursor 320a is shifted to the right end side with respect to the target anchor 330 and stopped, the direction (or path) in which the ball 120 flies is set to the right direction of the game field 50, for example, as a locus La When the second cursor 320b deviates to the left end side from the target anchor 330 and stops, the flying direction (or path) of the ball 120 is deflected to the left of the game field 50 as shown by the locus Lb. Similar to the second embodiment, also in this embodiment, the moving speed of the second cursor 320 is controlled so as to increase as the first cursor stop position is closer to the left end.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, as the stop position of the first cursor 310 is moved to the left end, the speed of the second cursor 320 becomes faster. The difficulty level of tap operation increases. That is, the priority is given to the flight distance, and the controllability of the ball 120 (the probability of hitting the center of the ball 120 or the probability of moving along the set route) decreases. On the other hand, the farther the stop position of the first cursor 310 is from the left end, the slower the speed of the second cursor 320 becomes, so the difficulty of the third operation (tap operation) on the second cursor 320 decreases (= target anchor 330 is easier to stop). That is, the priority is given to the flight distance, and the controllability of the ball 120 (the probability of hitting the center of the ball 120 or the probability of moving along the set route) increases. Thus, the shot operation closer to the actual golf can be performed also by the present embodiment.

(Fourth embodiment)
The game program according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention is also a modification of the above-described game program according to the first embodiment. Specifically, the first cursor 310 and the second cursor 320 described above are used. Each is divided into a first gauge and a second gauge. Also, the second cursor 320 is composed of two cursors that move to the target. The “operation key display unit”, “operation key determination unit”, and “club display unit” are included in the game program according to the fourth embodiment, although a part of the description is omitted. Functions and functions in the same manner as the embodiment. In the following description, the same reference numerals are assigned to components having the same functions and operations as those in the first embodiment, and the detailed description thereof is omitted. In FIG. 15, only the state near the gauge is shown in order to clarify the difference from the first embodiment.

<Gauge display section, first cursor display section, second cursor display section>
As shown in FIG. 15A, in the present embodiment, two gauges of a first gauge 301 and a second gauge 302 are displayed. A first cursor 310 is displayed at the right end (first initial position) in the first gauge 301, and two second cursors 320a and 320b are displayed at both ends (second initial position) in the second gauge 302. Has been. A target anchor 330 is displayed at the center of the second gauge 302. In other words, the second cursors 320 a and 320 b are displayed symmetrically with respect to the target anchor 330 in the second gauge 302.

<First cursor moving unit>
Similar to the first embodiment, when the user performs a tap operation (first user operation), the first cursor 310 moves in the first gauge 301 from the right end toward the left end. Note that the moving speed of the first cursor may be in accordance with the type of the selected club (that is, the operation key on which the swipe operation has been performed).

<First cursor stop>
As shown in FIG. 15B, when the tap operation (second user operation) is performed again while the first cursor 310 is moving, the movement of the first cursor 310 stops (hereinafter, the first cursor 310). The position at which is stopped is called the “first cursor stop position”).

<Second cursor moving part>
As shown in FIGS. 15C and 15D, at the same time as the second user operation described above is performed, the second cursors 320a and 320b are moved closer to each other (that is, the center of the second gauge 302 = the target). Move in second gauge 302 (to anchor 330). That is, when the second user operation is performed, the first cursor stop unit stops the movement of the first cursor 310, and the second cursor movement unit moves the second cursors 320a and 320b. In the present embodiment, the second cursors 320a and 320b move symmetrically toward the target anchor 330 at the same speed. Similar to the second embodiment, also in this embodiment, the moving speed of the second cursors 320a and 320b is controlled so as to increase as the first cursor stop position approaches the left end.

<Second cursor stop part>
As shown in FIG. 15E, when the user performs another tap operation (third user operation) while the second cursors 320a and 320b are moving, the movement of the second cursors 320a and 320b is changed. Both stop (hereinafter, the position where the second cursor is stopped is referred to as “second cursor stop position”). When the second cursors 320a and 320b come into contact with the first cursor 310, the above-described miss shot process is performed.

<Distance calculation unit, direction calculation unit>
When a shot operation composed of the first user operation to the third user operation is performed, the distance calculation unit calculates the flight distance of the ball 120 according to the distance between the first initial position and the first cursor stop unit. To do. In the present embodiment, the flight distance increases as the first cursor stop position is at the left end. Further, depending on the type of the selected club (that is, the operation key for which the swipe operation has been performed), some parameter may be influenced on the flight distance. For example, when 1 W is selected, the calculated flight distance may be multiplied by “1.5”, and when 3 W is selected, “1.1” may be multiplied. As described above, if the parameter is changed according to the selected club, it is possible to approximate the movement mode of the ball in actual golf. On the other hand, the direction calculation unit calculates the flying direction (or path) of the ball 120 based on the positional relationship between the second cursors 320 a and 320 b and the target anchor 330. That is, as shown in FIG. 16, the shorter the distance between the second cursors 320a and 320b and the target anchor 330 is, the shorter the ball 120 flies along the locus L (or along the set route). . However, as shown in FIG. 17, when the second cursors 320 a and 320 b stop away from the target anchor 330, the flying direction (or path) of the ball 120 is a direction that is not straight with a high probability (the set path). It flies along the locus Lmiss.

  As described above, also in the present embodiment, the moving speed of the second cursors 320a and 320b increases as the first cursor stop position is closer to the left end, and the second operation (tap operation) on the second cursors 320a and 320b. It becomes difficult to take the timing. That is, the priority is given to the flight distance, and the controllability of the ball 120 (the probability of hitting the center of the ball 120 or the probability of moving along the set route) decreases. On the other hand, as the stop position of the first cursor 310 is moved away from the left end, the moving speed of the second cursors 320a and 320b becomes slower, so the timing of the third operation (tap operation) with respect to the second cursors 320a and 320b is taken. (Easier to stop near the target anchor 330). That is, the priority is given to the flight distance, and the controllability of the ball 120 (the probability of hitting the center of the ball 120 or the probability of moving along the set route) increases. Thus, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to perform a shot operation that is closer to real golf.

(Fifth embodiment)
The game program according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention is also a modification of the game program according to the first embodiment described above. Specifically, the first gauge and the first cursor 310 described above have the same configuration, but a timing marker (described later) is used instead of the second cursor 320. The “operation key display unit”, “operation key determination unit”, and “club display unit” are included in the game program according to the fifth embodiment, although a part of the description is omitted. Functions and functions in the same manner as in the first embodiment. In the following description, the same reference numerals are assigned to components having the same functions and operations as those in the first embodiment, and the detailed description thereof is omitted. In FIG. 18, only the state near the gauge is shown in order to clarify the difference from the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 18A, a first cursor 310 is displayed at the right end in the gauge 300. Similar to the first embodiment, when there is a tap operation (first user operation) by the user, the first cursor 310 moves in the gauge 300 from the right end toward the left end. Note that the moving speed of the first cursor may be in accordance with the type of the selected club (that is, the operation key on which the swipe operation is performed). As shown in FIG. 18B, when the tap operation (second user operation) is performed again while the first cursor 310 is moving, the movement of the first cursor 310 stops (hereinafter, the first cursor 310). The position at which is stopped is called the “first cursor stop position”).

  In the present embodiment, four timing markers 320c are displayed at a predetermined distance from the position (standby position) where the ball 120 is displayed at the same time when the first user operation is performed, and directed toward the ball 120. It moves so as to converge (ie towards the standby position). As shown in FIG. 18C and FIG. 18D, the size of each timing marker 320c decreases with the movement. If the user performs another tap operation (third user operation) while the timing marker 320c is moving, the movement of the timing marker 320 is stopped. In the present embodiment, the moving speed of the timing marker 320c increases as the first cursor stop position is closer to the left end.

  When a shot operation composed of the first user operation to the third user operation is performed, the distance calculation unit calculates the flight distance of the ball 120 according to the distance between the first initial position and the first cursor stop unit. To do. In the present embodiment, the flight distance increases as the first cursor stop position is at the left end. Further, depending on the type of the selected club (that is, the operation key for which the swipe operation has been performed), some parameter may be influenced on the flight distance. For example, when 1 W is selected, the calculated flight distance may be multiplied by “1.5”, and when 3 W is selected, “1.1” may be multiplied. As described above, if the parameter is changed according to the selected club, it is possible to approximate the movement mode of the ball in actual golf. On the other hand, the direction calculation unit calculates the flying direction (or path) of the ball 120 based on the positional relationship between the timing marker 320c and the ball 120 (that is, the standby position). That is, the shorter the distance between the timing marker 320c and the ball 120, the more the ball 120 flies straight (or along a set route). However, when the timing marker 320c stops away from the ball 120, the flying direction (or path) of the ball 120 flies along a direction that is not straight (different from the set path) with a high probability.

  When the timing marker 320c comes into contact with the ball 120, the miss shot process described above is performed. Specifically, the direction calculation unit randomly determines the direction (or path to fly) of the ball 120 to fly. Note that the flight distance may be set to zero and an “idle swing” image may be displayed.

<Movement control unit>
The movement control unit controls the movement of the ball 120 in the game field 50 according to the calculation results by the distance calculation unit and the direction calculation unit described above.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the moving speed of the timing marker 320c increases as the first cursor stop position is closer to the left end, and the timing of the third operation (tap operation) on the timing marker 320c is difficult to take. Become. That is, the priority is given to the flight distance, and the controllability of the ball 120 (the probability of hitting the center of the ball 120 or the probability of moving along the set route) increases. Thus, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to perform a shot operation that is closer to real golf.

(Sixth embodiment)
The game program according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention is also a modification of the game program according to the first embodiment described above. Specifically, the first gauge and the first cursor 310 described above have the same configuration, but the second cursor 320 is not used as in the fifth embodiment. Instead, a target area 340 and a target cursor 350 (described later) are used. The “operation key display unit”, “operation key determination unit”, and “club display unit” are included in the game program according to the sixth embodiment, although a part of the description is omitted. Functions and functions in the same manner as in the first embodiment. In the following description, the same reference numerals are assigned to components having the same functions and operations as those in the first embodiment, and the detailed description thereof is omitted. In FIG. 21, only the state near the gauge is shown in order to clarify the difference from the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 21A, a first cursor 310 is displayed at the right end in the gauge 300. Similar to the first embodiment, when there is a tap operation (first user operation) by the user, the first cursor 310 moves in the gauge 300 from the right end toward the left end. Note that the moving speed of the first cursor may be in accordance with the type of the selected club (that is, the operation key on which the swipe operation is performed). As shown in FIG. 21B, when the tap operation (second user operation) is performed again while the first cursor 310 is moving, the movement of the first cursor 310 stops (hereinafter, the first cursor 310). The position at which is stopped is called the “first cursor stop position”).

  In the present embodiment, a target area 340 and a target cursor 350 shown in FIG. 21C are displayed on the touch panel. The target area 340 has a circular shape imitating the ball 120. The target cursor 350 moves randomly within the target area 340. Note that the moving speed of the target cursor 350 is controlled so as to increase as the first cursor stop position is closer to the left end of the gauge 300. The target area 340 may be displayed from the beginning, and the target cursor 350 may be displayed simultaneously with the first user operation.

  If there is a tap operation (third user operation) by the user while the target cursor 350 is moving, the movement of the target cursor 350 is stopped.

  When a shot operation constituted by the above first user operation to third user operation is performed, the distance calculation unit, like the first embodiment, the distance between the first initial position and the first cursor stop unit. The flying distance of the ball 120 is calculated accordingly. In the present embodiment, the flight distance increases as the first cursor stop position is at the left end. Further, depending on the type of the selected club (that is, the operation key for which the swipe operation has been performed), some parameter may be influenced on the flight distance. As described above, if the parameter is changed according to the selected club, it is possible to approximate the movement mode of the ball in actual golf. On the other hand, the direction calculation unit calculates the direction (or path) in which the ball 120 flies according to the position of the target cursor 350 in the target area 340. In the present embodiment, the target area 340 corresponds to the shape of the ball 120, and the position where the target cursor 350 stops is a hit point. That is, when the target cursor 350 stops at the center of the target area 340, it means that it has hit the middle of the ball 120, and the ball 120 flies straight. In addition, the physical calculation about the hitting point and the moving direction of the ball is accurately performed separately by the physical calculation unit.

<Movement control unit>
The movement control unit controls the movement of the ball 120 in the game field 50 according to the calculation results by the distance calculation unit and the direction calculation unit described above.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, as the stop position of the first cursor 310 is moved to the left end, the speed of the target cursor 320 becomes faster, so the difficulty level of the third operation (tap operation). Goes up. That is, the priority is given to the flight distance, and the controllability of the ball 120 (the probability of hitting the center of the ball 120 or the probability of moving along the set route) decreases. On the other hand, the farther the stop position of the first cursor 310 is from the left end, the slower the speed of the second cursor 320 becomes, so the difficulty of the second operation (tap operation) on the second cursor 320 decreases (= target anchor 330 is easier to stop). That is, the priority is given to the flight distance, and the controllability of the ball 120 (the probability of hitting the center of the ball 120 or the probability of moving along the set route) increases. Thus, the shot operation closer to the actual golf can be performed also by the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, in all the embodiments described above, the operation keys that are displayed immediately before the shot operation and prompt the user to select are displayed so that each operation key has virtual elasticity. . As shown in detail in FIG. 24, the elastic body object 610 according to the present embodiment is controlled by the operation key display unit so as to behave as an object having virtual elasticity. Specifically, when a long press operation is performed by the user, the operation key 610 is transformed into the shape of the operation key 610 through the shape 610-1, the shape 610-2, and the shape 610-3. By performing such a pop-up display, a special feeling of operation can be produced. As a method for imparting elastic behavior to the elastic body object 610, for example, the elastic body object 610 is constituted by a plurality of divided plate-like polygons, and elastic deformation is performed by simulating the coordinates of each vertex. It should be expressed.

  The above-described embodiments are merely examples for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention can be changed and improved without departing from the gist thereof, and it is needless to say that the present invention includes equivalents thereof.
