However, when a player wins by playing a battle game (first battle game) that races against a moving body of the other player, the player can send a challenge letter to the other player. In the first competitive game, the moving body of the other player is controlled according to a given algorithm based on the parameter (matching parameter) of the moving body. The player who received the challenge (second
The player can play a battle game (second battle game) in which a race is performed with the moving body of the player (first player) who sent the challenge. In the second competitive game, the moving body of the first player is controlled based on the play history (running log) of the first player in the first competitive game. The second player who has won the second battle game can send a “response letter” to the first player (send a challenge letter back). The first player who receives the response letter can play a battle game (third battle game) in which the second player races against the moving body of the second player. In the third competitive game, the moving body of the second player is controlled based on the play history of the second player in the second competitive game.

  Hereinafter, a case where the player A of the terminal 10a sends a challenge letter to the player B of the terminal 10b will be described as an example with reference to FIG. When the player A performs an operation of selecting the player B as a partner to which a challenge is sent from a plurality of players having friendships on the game screen of the terminal 10a, the terminal 10a sends a battle request for the first battle game to the server 20. (A1 in FIG. 4). This battle request includes information for specifying the player B who is the opponent. The server 20 that has received the battle request for the first battle game from the terminal 10a transmits the battle parameter of the player B stored in the storage unit 272 to the terminal 10a (A2). The battle parameter for player B is a parameter indicating the performance of the mobile body (automobile) set by player B for battle.

  Each player sets a moving body selected from a plurality of moving bodies owned by the player as a moving body for battle, and changes the type and grade of each part (engine, transmission, tire, etc.) attached to the moving body. can do. The player can acquire new moving objects and new parts by consuming predetermined points obtained in the game (including points obtained free of charge and points obtained for a fee). Each parameter indicating the performance (acceleration performance, high-speed traveling performance, cornering performance, etc.) of the mobile body is determined by the type and grade of the mobile body itself and the type and grade of each part attached to the mobile body.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen displayed on the terminal 10a that has received the player B's battle parameters. The game screen generated by the game system of the present embodiment is displayed on the display unit 190 (touch panel) of the terminal 10, and the player performs an operation input by performing an operation (touch operation) for bringing a fingertip, a touch pen, or the like into contact with the touch panel. It can be performed.

  On the game screen GI shown in FIG. 5, the icon IC (avatar) of the player B who is the opponent is displayed. In addition, the game screen GI displays the battle power BP of the moving body of the player B (a value based on the battle parameter of the player B received from the server 20). When the player A performs an operation (touch operation) for selecting the button BT for starting the battle on the game screen GI shown in FIG. 5, the first battle game is started on the terminal 10a.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen displayed on the terminal 10a when the first battle game is started. In the game screen GI shown in FIG. 6, the moving body MOa of the player A and the moving body MOb of the player B who is the opponent are displayed. The virtual camera in the object space is arranged behind the moving body MOa, and an image viewed from the virtual camera is displayed. The game screen GI also includes an icon IC for the player B, a tachometer TM indicating the engine rotation speed of the moving body MOa, an accelerator button AB for the player A to perform a start operation, and a nitro item (item item). An item button IB for performing an operation using (example) and an image IG indicating the remaining number of nitro items that can be used by the player A are displayed.

At the start of the battle game, a countdown until the start of the race is displayed. When the remaining countdown time reaches 0 seconds, the mobile bodies MOa and MOb start automatically and the race starts. Here, the accelerator button AB is displayed only until the remaining countdown time reaches 0 seconds, and when the accelerator button AB is touched, the rotational speed of the engine of the mobile unit MOa indicated by the tachometer TM is displayed. When the accelerator button AB is not touched, the engine speed decreases. When the rotational speed of the engine is within a predetermined range (here, 6000 to 8000 rpm), the lamp LP displayed on the tachometer TM is turned on. When the remaining time of the countdown becomes 0 second and the engine speed is within a predetermined range, it is determined that the “rocket start” is successful, and the moving object MOa starts suddenly. On the other hand, when the engine speed when the remaining countdown time is 0 seconds is less than the lower limit value of the predetermined range, the mobile body MOa normally starts and is greater than or equal to the upper limit value of the predetermined range. The mobile body MOa performs foil spin. That is, the player A operates the accelerator button AB so that the engine rotational speed is within a predetermined range when the remaining countdown time becomes 0 seconds, so that the moving body MOa is suddenly started and the race is advantageous. Can proceed. The acceleration at the start of the mobile unit MOa is controlled in consideration of the acceleration performance that is a parameter of the mobile unit MOa.

  On the other hand, for the mobile MOb, the start type (rocket start, normal start, wheel spin) is determined by lottery or the like according to a given algorithm (or according to the parameters of the mobile MOb), and the determined start type In addition to the corresponding acceleration, the vehicle starts with acceleration in consideration of the acceleration performance that is a parameter of the mobile object MOb.

  When the race starts, the mobile bodies MOa and MOb travel in a straight section on the course at a speed corresponding to each parameter (high speed traveling performance). The virtual camera in the object space moves following the moving body MOa. As shown in FIG. 7, instead of the accelerator button AB, a handle button HB for the player B to perform a drift operation is displayed on the game screen GI. When the touch operation (long tap operation) of the handle button HB is started when the mobile body MOa reaches the entrance of the corner on the course, the mobile body MOa starts drifting, and the mobile body MOa becomes the corner on the course. When the touch operation on the handle button HB is finished when the exit of the vehicle is reached, the drift travel of the moving body MOa is finished.

  As shown in FIG. 7, an entrance line IL is displayed at the entrance of the corner, and an exit line (not shown) is displayed at the exit of the corner. When the operation of the handle button HB is started, the shorter the distance between the head portion of the mobile body MOa and the entrance line IL is, and the head portion and the exit of the mobile body MOa when the operation of the handle button HB is finished. The shorter the distance between the lines, the higher the speed of the moving body MOa. That is, the player starts the operation of the handle button HB when the moving body MOa reaches the entrance line IL, and ends the operation of the handle button HB when the mobile body MOa reaches the exit line. The race can be advantageously advanced by cornering the body MOa at a higher speed. The speed at which the mobile body MOa passes the corner is controlled in consideration of the cornering performance that is a parameter of the mobile body MOa.

  On the other hand, for the mobile unit MOb, the timing for starting the drift travel and the timing for ending the drift travel are determined by a lottery or the like according to a given algorithm (or according to the parameters of the mobile unit MOb). The cornering performance, which is a parameter of the mobile unit MOb, is added to the speed according to (the distance between the mobile unit MOb and the entrance line IL at the start of drift travel, the distance between the mobile unit MOb and the exit line at the end of drift travel). Corner at speed.

Further, when the item button IB is touched (tapped) while traveling, one nitro item is consumed, and the mobile object MOa accelerates rapidly. There is an upper limit on the number of uses of the nitro item during the race, and here the upper limit of the number of uses is three. When the player fails to start the rocket or cornering, or when playing against a mobile MOb with high performance (battle power), it is possible to overturn disadvantageous race development by using the nitro item.

  Player A wins when moving body MOa reaches the goal before moving body MOb. When player A wins the first competitive game, a nitro item is given to player A as a reward. Here, the player A is given nitro items for the number of nitro items consumed by the player A in the first competitive game plus one. For example, when the player A consumes one nitro item in the first battle game, two nitro items are given to the player A.

  When the player A wins the first battle game, the terminal 10a uses the player A's battle parameters (parameters indicating the performance of the mobile unit MOa set by the player A for battle) and the first game. The battle result of the first battle game including the play history of the player A in the battle game is transmitted to the server 20 (A3 in FIG. 4). This match result also includes information for specifying the player B who is the opponent.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a play history. The play history 300 includes information 310 indicating success or failure of the rocket start (success, failure, or foil spin), information 320 indicating the number of use (consumption) of the nitro item, information 330 indicating the use timing of the nitro item, each corner The information 340 indicating the start / end timing of the drift travel at is included. Assuming that the play history 300 shown in FIG. 8 is the play history of the player A, the information 310, 320, 330 of the play history 300 shown in FIG. 8 indicates that the player A has successfully started the rocket and is 580 m from the start point. This shows that the nitro item has been used once at the timing when the moving body MOa is located. The information 340 of the play history 300 indicates that the player A starts the operation of the handle button HB at a timing when the moving body MOa is located 1 m past the entrance line of the first corner, and 1 m before the exit line. The operation of the handle button HB is terminated at the timing when the moving body MOa is located at the point, and the operation of the handle button HB is started at the timing when the moving body MOa is located at a point 0.8 m before the entrance line of the second corner, It shows that the operation of the handle button HB has been completed at the timing when the moving body MOa is located at a point that is 1.2 m past the exit line. It can be said that the information 310 of the play history 300 is an operation history of the accelerator button AB, and the information 340 is an operation history of the handle button HB.

  The server 20 that has received the battle result of the first battle game from the terminal 10a should transmit the battle parameters and the play history included in the battle result to the player A in association with the player A. Store in the storage unit 272. Further, the server 20 transmits notification information including the number of times the item included in the play history of the player A (the number of times the player A has used the nitro item in the first competitive game) to the terminal 10b (A4 in FIG. 4). ).

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen (challenge display screen) displayed on the terminal 10b that has received the notification information. The game screen GI shown in FIG. 9 displays an icon IC of the player A who is an opponent (sender of challenge) and a character string UN indicating the number of times the player A has used the nitro item in the first battle game. The In addition, a character string RC representing the seriousness of the player A is also displayed on the game screen GI. The character string RC changes according to the number of times of use of the item. When the number of times of use of the item is 0, it is “normal”, when it is once, “serious”, when it is twice, “super serious” In the case of 3 times, it becomes “awakening”.

  When the player B performs an operation of selecting the button TR on the game screen GI shown in FIG. 9, the challenge letter from the player A is canceled (deleted), and the challenge letters from players other than the player A are given the terminal 10b. If the message has arrived, a challenge letter from the other player is displayed on the game screen GI.

  On the other hand, when the player B performs an operation of selecting the button BT for starting the battle on the game screen GI shown in FIG. 9, the terminal 10b transmits a battle request for the second battle game to the server 20 ( A5 in FIG. The server 20 that has received the battle request for the second battle game from the terminal 10b transmits the battle parameters and the play history of the player A stored in the storage unit 272 to the terminal 10b (A6 in FIG. 4), and the terminal 10b. Then, the second battle game in which the moving body MOa of the player A and the moving body MOb of the player B run on the course and compete each other is started. The mobile body MOa and the mobile body MOb travel on the same course and the same lane as the course and lane traveled in the first battle game.

  In the second competitive game, for the moving body MOb, the start type (success / failure of the rocket start) is determined according to the operation of the accelerator button AB of the player B, and the mobile body MOb is used for the acceleration according to the determined start type. Start with acceleration taking into account the parameters (acceleration performance). Further, the mobile unit MOb travels in a straight section on the course at a speed corresponding to the parameter (high-speed travel performance) of the mobile unit MOb, and according to the start / end timing of drift travel based on the operation of the handle button HB of the player B. Cornering at a speed that takes into account the parameters (cornering performance) of the moving body MOb. The mobile unit MOb accelerates rapidly when the player B operates the item button IB to use the nitro item.

  On the other hand, for the mobile body MOa, the running in the first competitive game is reproduced based on the play history of the player A received from the server 20 and the competitive parameters. That is, the mobile unit MOa starts at an acceleration that takes into account the acceleration performance that is a parameter of the mobile unit MOa in addition to the acceleration according to the start type specified by the play history of the player A. In addition, the mobile unit MOa travels in a straight section on the course at a speed corresponding to the parameter (high-speed travel performance) of the mobile unit MOa, and corresponds to the start / end timing of the drift travel specified by the player A's play history. Cornering is performed at a speed that takes into account the parameters (corning performance) of the moving object MOa. In addition, the moving body MOa accelerates rapidly by the number of times corresponding to the number of times of use of the nitro item specified in the play history of the player A at the time corresponding to the use timing of the nitro item specified in the play history of the player A.

  When the moving body MOb reaches the goal before the moving body MOa and the player B wins the second battle game, a nitro item is given to the player B as a reward. Here, the player B is given nitro items for the number of nitro items consumed by the player B in the second competitive game plus 2. For example, when player B consumes two nitro items in the second competitive game, four nitro items are given to player B. In addition, as the number of times that the player A has used the nitro item in the first battle game is larger, the number of nitro items to be given to the player B who has won the second battle game may be increased.

  When the player B wins the second battle game, the terminal 10b transmits the battle result of the second battle game including the play history of the player B in the second battle game to the server 20 ( A7 in FIG. This match result also includes information for specifying the player A who is the opponent.

The server 20 that has received the match result of the second match game from the terminal 10b stores the play history included in the match result in the storage unit 272 as being associated with the player B and to be transmitted to the terminal 10a of the player A. At the same time, notification information including the number of times the item included in the play history of player B (the number of times player B used the nitro item in the second battle game) is transmitted to terminal 10a (A8 in FIG. 4).
