4). Method of Present Embodiment 4.1 Overview As shown in FIG. 5A, the terminal of the present embodiment uses a virtual camera in a virtual three-dimensional object space in which player objects P1 to P4, enemy objects Q1 and Q2, and a map MP are arranged. The image seen from is generated and displayed on the touch panel 12 (display unit 190). Then, the player enjoys a game in which the player touches the touch panel 12 while operating the display unit 190 to manipulate the movement and movement of the player object and play against the enemy object.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5A, operation indicators A, B, C, and I are displayed on the touch panel 12. The player can input a special attack (technique, technique attack) command by performing contact input in the detection area ga corresponding to the operation indicator A. In addition, the player can input a normal attack command by performing contact input in the detection area gb corresponding to the operation indicator B. In addition, the player can input a defense command by performing contact input in the detection area gc corresponding to the operation indicator C. In addition, the player can input a command for a special technique attack by performing contact input in the detection area gi corresponding to the operation indicator I.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5B, the player can move the player object on the map MP (X and Z directions) by performing a slide input in the detection area gf.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5B, the player can select any one of the operation target player objects P1 to P4 by performing flick input in the detection area gg.

  By the way, the conventional terminal is often provided with an operation button, and when the player continuously presses the operation button, the player object continuously performs an action to attack the enemy. I was able to. For example, after performing an operation of repeated hits in which a normal attack is performed three times, a special attack can be performed to cause a large damage to an enemy object.

  However, when the player object performs an action of continuously attacking the enemy by performing contact input to the touch panel, it is difficult to perform contact input that makes a continuous touch (tap), and the player makes an error. There was a risk of typing. For example, even if the player intends to touch the operation indicator B three times, a part of the touch may be a touch to the operation indicator A.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, when contact input is detected, the elapsed time that the contact input is continuously detected from the time when the contact input is detected is counted, and it is determined that the elapsed time has passed the determination period. If it is determined (so-called “long press”), the number of inputs to the operation indicator is counted according to the elapsed time while the contact input is continued, and a command is accepted each time the number of inputs is counted. To control.

In this way, on the touch panel, the player can continuously input commands by a simple touch input of a long press, and as a result, the player can avoid erroneous input and improve operability. Because you can. Details will be described below.

4.2 Long-pressing determination process In this embodiment, a contact input is detected in a detection region corresponding to each operation indicator. In the present embodiment, when a contact input is detected in the detection area of each operation indicator, the elapsed time (long pressing period) in which the contact input is continuously detected from the start of the contact input detection is determined. Keep time.

  Here, the time when the contact input detection is started is a point in time when the state is changed from the state in which no contact input is detected to the state in which the contact input is detected in the same detection region.

  Then, in the detection area of each operation indicator, a process is performed to determine whether or not the elapsed time has passed the determination period, and when it is determined that the elapsed time has passed the determination period, a long-pressed contact input It is determined that

4.3 Processing for Counting the Number of Inputs In this embodiment, when a contact input is detected in the detection area of the operation indicator for each of the operation indicators A and B, the contact input is detected from the start of the contact input detection. Is performed to count the number of times the operation indicator is input in accordance with the elapsed time detected continuously. That is, when it is determined that each of the operation indicators A and B is a long press, a process of counting the number of inputs according to the long press period is performed. The “number of inputs” is the number of input commands received by the computer (reception unit) when a single long press contact input is performed. For example, in reality, the player can input a special attack command, for example, a plurality of times according to the long-pressing period only by performing a single long-pressing contact input to the operation indicator A. it can.

4.3.1 Processing for Counting Number of Inputs of Operation Indicator A First, a process for counting the number of inputs based on a long-pressing contact input of the operation indicator A of the present embodiment will be described.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when a contact input is detected in the detection area ga where the operation indicator A is displayed, the elapsed time that the contact input is continuously detected from the contact input detection start time Tsa. Time Txa.

  While the contact input is continued, the number of inputs xa to the operation indicator A is counted in real time according to the elapsed time Txa. In other words, the player can continuously input special attack commands while the long-press contact input is continued. For example, a special attack command is accepted in a game that progresses in real time after the long press, that is, when the player accepts a special attack command when the player releases his / her finger or the like from the touch panel 12, so that the player is not stressed. Game play can be performed.

  In this embodiment, 0 is set as the initial value of the input count xa. That is, xa is set to 0 at the timing Tsa at which contact input is detected.

  In the present embodiment, the upper limit of the number of inputs xa is 4. That is, the player can continuously perform up to four special attacks on the player object.

(1) Counting process based on a predetermined period In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the elapsed time Txa from which the touch input is continuously detected from the touch input detection start time Tsa of the operation indicator A is the determination period Td. When the elapsed time Txa passes a predetermined period D (for example, 0.5 seconds), the number of times of input xa is determined.
Count. Note that counting means that 1 is added.

  For example, the number of times of input xa is counted at a timing T1 when a predetermined period D has elapsed since the start of contact input detection Tsa. That is, the input count xa is updated to 1.

  Then, the number of inputs xa is counted at a timing T2 when a predetermined period D has elapsed from the timing T1. That is, the input count xa is updated to 2.

  Then, the number of inputs xa is counted at a timing T3 when a predetermined period D has elapsed from the timing T2. That is, the input count xa is updated to 3.

  In the present embodiment, the predetermined period D may be set according to at least one of the state of the player object to be operated, the level of the player object to be operated, and the game history.

  For example, when the state of the player object to be operated is set to a special state such as a slow state, the predetermined period D may be controlled to be longer than the normal state. The normal state means a state that is not a special state. For example, the predetermined period D is set to 0.5 seconds in the normal state, and the predetermined period D is set to 1 second in the special state. In other words, in the present embodiment, when the player object receives damage due to a special attack of the enemy object, the player object is controlled to be in a slow state that slows down the movement of the player object, and is controlled so as to be disadvantageous for the player. There are things to do. In the present embodiment, in the slow state, the predetermined period D is also lengthened, and when the command is continuously input, the long press must be performed for a long time, and control is performed so as to be disadvantageous for the player. doing.

  Alternatively, the predetermined period D may be controlled to be shortened as the level of the player object to be operated increases. This is because it is considered that the player's level is getting used to command input by long press. That is, in this embodiment, the predetermined period D is shortened in accordance with the increase in the level of the player object, so that the operability is improved.

  For example, when the level of the player object to be operated is 1 to 10, the predetermined period D is set to 0.5 seconds, and when the level of the player object is 11 to 20, the predetermined period D is set to 0. Set to 4 seconds. That is, control is performed so that the period of the predetermined period D decreases as the level of the player object increases.

  Further, the predetermined period D may be set according to the game history of the player. The game history includes game play time, win / loss results, and the like. For example, the predetermined period D may be controlled to be shortened as the game play time becomes longer. This is because an increase in game play time is considered to have become used to command input by long press. That is, in this embodiment, the predetermined period D is shortened in accordance with the increase in the game play time, and the operability is improved.

  For example, when the game play time of the player is less than 10 hours, the predetermined cycle D is set to 0.5 seconds, and when the game play time of the player is 10 hours or more and less than 20 hours, the predetermined cycle D is set. You may set to 0.4 second. That is, the control is performed so that the period of the predetermined period D decreases as the game play time of the player increases.

(2) Counting process based on a predetermined period In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the elapsed time Txa from which the contact input is continuously detected from the contact input detection start time Tsa of the operation indicator A is determined as the determination period Td. Is passed at a timing when the predetermined time associated with the type of command that accepts the next input from the time point Tsa when the touch input detection is started or immediately before the time Txa is counted. The number of inputs xa may be counted.

  Here, the type of command is a characteristic of the command. In this embodiment, about 10 types of commands are prepared for the operation indicator A. Note that the types of commands may increase as the game progresses.

  For example, different command types mean different attack power, defense power, motion data, and the like. Further, for some types of commands, it is possible to control the attack received from the enemy object to be invalid (the attack power of the enemy object is set to 0).

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, a predetermined period E associated with the type of command is set. For example, the predetermined period E1 associated with the command Cm1 is 0.4 seconds, the predetermined period E2 associated with the command Cm2 is 0.5 seconds, and the predetermined period E3 associated with the command Cm3 is 1 second. For example, for a command type with a long motion playback period, control is performed so that the predetermined period is longer than a command type with a short motion playback period. In addition, the command type having a high attack power is controlled to have a predetermined period longer than the command type having a low attack power.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the command type is set in advance in association with the input count xa. In the present embodiment, the command type associated with the value of the input count xa to be counted next is referred to, and the input count xa is counted with reference to a predetermined period associated with the command type. .

  For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when the elapsed time Txa in which the contact input is continuously detected from the contact input detection start time Tsa passes the determination period Td and is determined to be a long press, the contact input detection start time Tsa is detected. The number of times of input xa is counted at a timing T11 when a predetermined period E1 (for example, 0.4 seconds) associated with the command Cm1 (number of times of input xa = 1) has elapsed. That is, the input count xa is updated to 1.

  Then, the number of times of input xa is counted at timing T12 when a predetermined period E2 (for example, 0.5 seconds) associated with the command Cm2 (number of times of input xa = 2) has elapsed since the timing T11 counted immediately before. That is, the input count xa is updated to 2.

  Then, the number of times of input xa is counted at timing T13 when a predetermined period E3 (for example, 1 second) associated with the command Cm3 (number of times of input xa = 3) has elapsed since the timing T12 counted immediately before. That is, the input count xa is updated to 3.

  In the present embodiment, the predetermined period E may be set according to at least one of the state of the player object to be operated, the level of the player object to be operated, and the game history.

For example, when the state of the player object to be operated is set to a special state such as a slow state, the predetermined period E associated with the command type may be controlled to be longer than the normal state. Good. For example, the predetermined period E1 associated with the command Cm1 may be set to 0.3 seconds in the normal state, and the predetermined period E1 associated with the command Cm1 may be set to 1 second in the special state. In this embodiment, in the slow state, the predetermined period E is also lengthened, and when a command is continuously input, a long press must be performed for a long time, and control is performed so as to be disadvantageous for the player. doing.

  Further, as the level of the player object to be operated increases, the predetermined period E associated with the type of command may be controlled to be shortened. This is because it is considered that the player's level is getting used to command input by long press. That is, in this embodiment, the predetermined period E is shortened in accordance with the increase in the level of the player object, so that the operability is improved.

  For example, when the level of the player object to be operated is 1 to 10, the predetermined period E1 associated with the command Cm1 is set to 0.5 seconds, and the level of the player object to be operated is 11 to 20. In this case, the predetermined period E1 associated with the command Cm1 is set to 0.4 seconds. That is, control is performed so that the period of the predetermined period E1 associated with the command Cm1 is reduced as the level of the player object to be operated increases.

  Also, a predetermined period E associated with the type of command may be set according to the game history of the player. For example, the control may be performed so that the predetermined period E1 associated with the command Cm1 is shortened as the game play time increases. This is because an increase in game play time is considered to have become used to command input by long press. That is, in this embodiment, the predetermined period E is shortened in accordance with the increase in the game play time, and the operability is improved.

  For example, when the game play time of the player is less than 10 hours, the predetermined period E1 associated with the command Cm1 is set to 0.5 seconds, and the game play time of the player is 10 hours or more and less than 20 hours The predetermined period E1 associated with the command Cm1 is set to 0.4 seconds. That is, as the game play time of the player increases, control is performed so that the period of the predetermined period E1 associated with the command Cm1 is decreased.

4.3.2 Processing for Counting Number of Inputs of Operation Indicator B In the present embodiment, the operation indicator B is determined to be long-pressed as with the operation indicator A, and is determined to be long press. In this case, the number of inputs to the operation indicator B is counted.

  For example, when a contact input is detected in the detection region gb where the operation indicator B is displayed, as shown in FIG. 10, the elapsed time that the contact input is continuously detected from the contact input detection start time Tsb. Time Txb.

  Then, while the contact input is continued, the number of inputs xb to the operation indicator B is counted in real time according to the elapsed time Txb. In other words, the player can continuously input the normal attack command while the long-pressed contact input is continued.

  In this embodiment, 0 is set as the initial value of the input count xb. That is, xb is set to 0 at the timing Tsb when the contact input is detected.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, the operation indicator B is subjected to count processing based on the predetermined period D.

  For example, the number of times of input xb is counted at a timing T21 when a predetermined period D has elapsed from the contact input detection start time Tsb. That is, the input count xb is updated to 1.

Then, at the timing T22 when the predetermined period D has elapsed from the timing T21, the number of inputs x
b is counted. That is, the input count xb is updated to 2.

  Then, the number of times of input xb is counted at a timing T23 when a predetermined period D has elapsed from the timing T22. That is, the input count xb is updated to 3.

  In the present embodiment, the upper limit of the input count xb is set to 3. That is, the player can continuously perform up to three normal attacks on the player object.

4.4 Process for Accepting Command In the present embodiment, when the input count xa of the operation indicator A is counted, a process for receiving the command of the operation indicator A is performed at the timing when the input count xa is counted.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the number of inputs xa is counted in a predetermined period D, a special attack command of the operation indicator A is received at timings T1, T2, and T3 when the number of inputs xa is counted. In particular, in the case of the operation indicator A, a plurality of types of special attacks are prepared. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, a command of a type associated with the value of the input count xa is accepted. That is, at the timing T1 when the input count xa is counted, the command Cm1 associated with the input count xa of “1” is received, and then at the timing T2 when the input count xa is counted, the input count xa is “2”. The command Cm2 associated with is received, and then at the timing T3 when the input count xa is counted, the command Cm3 associated with the input count xa “3” is received.

  Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, even when the number of times of input xa is counted in the predetermined period E, the command of the special attack of the operation indicator A is performed at timings T11, T12, and T13 when the number of times of input xa is counted. Accept. That is, at the timing T11 when the input count xa is counted, the command Cm1 associated with the input count xa of “1” is received, and then at the timing T12 when the input count xa is counted, the input count xa is “2”. Next, at the timing T13 when the input count xa is counted, the command Cm3 associated with “3” is received.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the input count xb of the operation indicator B is counted, a process of receiving the command of the operation indicator B is performed at the timing when the input count xb is counted.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 10, when the number of times of input xb is counted in a predetermined period D, the command Cmb for the normal attack of the operation indicator B is received at timings T21, T22, T23 when the number of times of input xb is counted. . In the present embodiment, one type of normal attack command is used, but a plurality of different types of normal attack commands may be received.

4.5 Processing for Executing Command In the present embodiment, game processing is performed based on the received command. That is, a process for executing the received command is performed.

(1) Execution of a command input to the operation indicator A In this embodiment, when a contact input to the operation indicator A is received, the player object performs a movement / motion that performs a “special attack” on the enemy object. Perform (motion) processing.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the command Cm1 is received at the timing T1, the first operation m1 is performed from the same timing Tm1 as the timing T1. As shown in FIG. 7, when the command Cm1 is received at the timing T11, the first operation m1 is performed from the same timing Tm11 as the timing T11.

  The first action m1 is an action for the player object to perform a special attack of the command Cm1 on the enemy object (for example, an action in which the player object P jumps and cuts the enemy object T with a sword).

  Special attacks can cause more damage than normal attacks. For example, in a special attack, the enemy object T can be damaged 10 to 20 times as much as a normal attack.

  When the player makes a contact input by long pressing on the operation indicator A, the “special attack” operation is continuously performed.

  That is, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, when the number of times of input is received for the operation indicator A, the command Cm1 associated with the first number of times (xa = 1) is input. The first operation m1 of the “special attack” is performed, and then the second operation m2 of the “special attack” of the command Cm2 associated with the second input (xa = 2) is subsequently performed, and then Subsequently, the third operation m3 of the “special attack” of the command Cm3 associated with the third input (xa = 3) is performed.

  That is, in this embodiment, the player object includes a plurality of actions including the first action m1, the second action m2,... The Nth action mn, and the (N + 1) th action m (n + 1) with respect to the enemy object. A continuous motion process for calculating at least one of the movement and motion of the player object and the enemy object in the continuous motion in which the above motion is continuously performed is performed.

  The continuous motion can be realized by operating the player object according to motion data defined corresponding to each motion constituting the continuous data.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6, it is assumed that the first operation m1 that is the first operation of the continuous operation is started (displayed) from Tm1 at the same time as time T1. Tm1 to Tm3 are periods in which the first operation m1 is performed, and the second operation m2 is performed in a given period from Tm2. Here, the period from Tm2 to Tm3 is a shift period sf for shifting from the first operation m1 to the second operation m2. For example, in the shift period indicated by sf, the posture of the first motion m1 at Tm2 (rotation of each joint of the player object) is smoothly changed to the posture at Tm3 of the second motion m2 (rotation of each joint of the player object). Motion interpolation for shifting to is performed.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when a command is continuously received by long press, control is performed such that the (N + 1) th operation is performed continuously to the Nth operation.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the command to the operation indicator A is received for the second and third times of the operation indicator A while the player object is performing the first action m1. Can accept commands. As shown in FIG. 7, the command to the operation indicator A is received when the player object receives the second command of the operation indicator A while the player object is performing the first action m1, and the player object While the second operation m2 is being performed, the third command of the operation indicator A can be received. That is, it is possible to input commands of the operation indicator A in advance, and an operation environment that is easy for the player to use is provided.

(2) Execution of a command input to the operation indicator B In this embodiment, when a contact input to the operation indicator B is accepted, the player object performs a “normal attack” on the enemy object. Perform (motion) processing.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 10, when the command Cmb is received at the timing T21, the first operation m1b is performed from the same timing Tm21 as the timing T21.

  The first action m1b performs an action for the player object to make a normal attack on the enemy object (for example, an action in which the player object swings down and cuts the sword against the enemy object). In the “normal attack”, the player object deals, for example, “10” damage to the enemy object (that is, a process of subtracting the attack power “10” from the physical strength value (HP value) of the enemy object T). .

  When the player makes a contact input by long pressing on the operation indicator B, the “normal attack” operation is continuously performed.

  In other words, in this embodiment, when three times of input are received for the operation indicator B, three “normal attacks” are performed.

  For example, when three normal attacks are performed, the player object swings the sword down against the enemy object, the first action m1b, the second action m2b that projects the sword toward the enemy, and the sword is moved sideways. The third operation m3b is continuously performed.

  Note that the continuous action processing of the normal attack can be realized by operating the player object according to the motion data defined corresponding to each action constituting the continuous data, as in the special attack.

  Further, in this embodiment, even during a normal attack, it is possible to input a command of the operation indicator B in advance while the player object is performing the operation such as the first operation m1b. Is provided.

4.6 Command Setting In this embodiment, one type of command among a plurality of types of commands is set in advance in association with the number of times of input for each number of times of input based on input information of the player.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 9, based on the player's input information, the type of command (for example, command Cm1) to be accepted when the number of inputs to the operation indicator A is 1 (xa = 1) in advance. The type of command accepted when the number of times is 2 (xa = 2) (eg, command Cm2), the type of command accepted when the number of times of input is 3 (xa = 3) (eg, command Cm3), and the number of times of input It is possible to set the type of command (for example, command Cm4) accepted in the case of one time (xa = 4).

  In this way, the player can determine in advance the type of command to be executed by continuous input, and can play a game strategically.

4.7 Linkage Processing In this embodiment, a linkage (continuation) attack can be performed by connecting a special attack from a normal attack without being counterattacked by an enemy object. That is, in the cooperative attack, the normal attack operation and the special attack operation are continuously performed without interruption.

(1) Coordination determination process In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, it is determined that cooperation is performed when the contact input of the operation indicator A is detected immediately after the contact input of the operation indicator B is detected. . For example, when the input count xa of the operation indicator A is counted within the specific period K from the time T33 when the input count xb of the operation indicator B was last counted, the normal attack of the operation indicator B and the operation indicator It is determined that the special attack of A is performed. The specific period K can be set to 1 second, for example.

  That is, in the example of FIG. 11, since the number x of inputs of the operation indicator A is counted (updated to xa = 1) at the timing T34 within the specific period K, the normal attack of the operation indicator B and the operation indicator It is determined that the special attack of A is performed.

  In the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the period from the timing Teb at which the continuous contact input of the operation indicator B is completed to the timing Tsa at which the contact input of the operation indicator A is detected is within a specific period. When the period from Teb to the timing Tsa is a specific period, it may be determined that the normal attack of the operation indicator B and the special attack of the operation indicator A are performed.

(2) Description of Process for Determining Command Type of Operation Indicator A In the present embodiment, when it is determined that the cooperation process is performed (for example, from the time T33 when the input count xb of the operation indicator B is last counted). When the input count xa of the operation indicator A is counted within the specific period K), the command of the type of the operation indicator A associated with the input count xb of the operation indicator B is received.

  In this way, the types of commands that can be input by the player are increased, and the game can be played while being enjoyed strategically.

  FIG. 12 shows the types of commands of the operation indicator A associated with the input count xa of the operation indicator A during counting and the input count xb of the operation indicator B received immediately before.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 11, when it is determined that the normal attack of the operation indicator B and the special attack of the operation indicator A are to be linked, the value of the input count xb of the operation indicator B is 3 (xb = 3 Therefore, at the timing T34 when the command of the first operation indicator A (xa = 1) is received, the input of the command Cm31 associated with xa = 1 and xb = 3 is received. Then, at the timing T36 when the command of the second operation indicator A (xa = 2) is received, the input of the command Cm32 associated with xa = 2 and xb = 3 is received.

  When it is determined that the cooperation process is to be performed and the value of the input count xb of the operation indicator B is 1 (xb = 1), the input count xa at the time of counting and the input count xb = 1. Based on the above, the type of command of the operation indicator A at the time of counting is determined, and when the value of the input count xb of the operation indicator B is 2 (xb = 2), Based on the number of times of input xb = 2, the type of command of the operation indicator A at the time of counting is determined. When there is no cooperation processing, xb = 0, and the type of command of the operation indicator A at the time of counting is determined based on the number of times of input xa and the number of times of input xb = 0.

  In this embodiment, the type of command of the operation indicator A is determined in advance in association with the input count xb of the operation indicator B, and is associated with the input count xb of the operation indicator B received immediately before. You may make it receive the command of the kind of operation indicator A. FIG.

4.8 Notification Process In the present embodiment, a progress situation in which contact input is continuously detected while the contact input is continued is notified.

(1) Display control In the present embodiment, a progress state in which contact input is continuously detected in the detection region on the touch panel 12 corresponding to the operation indicator may be notified by display control.

  For example, the color around the operation indicator A displayed on the touch panel 12 (display unit 190) is changed at the timing when the number of inputs of the operation indicator A is counted. That is, the color of the operation indicator A is changed at the timing when the command of the operation indicator A is received. The “around the operation indicator A” is a range near the operation indicator A and may be any range that can be visually recognized by the player.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, in this embodiment, when the number of inputs xa = 0, the surrounding color of the operation indicator A is displayed in a default color, and when the number of inputs xa = 1, the operation is performed. The color around the indicator A is displayed in red, the color around the operation indicator A is displayed in blue when the number of inputs xa = 2, and the color around the operation indicator A is displayed when the number of inputs xa = 3. The color is displayed in yellow, and when the number of inputs xa = 4, the color around the operation indicator A is displayed in green. When there is no contact input or the number of inputs xa = 0, the color around the operation indicator A is displayed in a default color. The default color is the same color (for example, red) as the first input color, but may be a different color (for example, white).

  That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the color around the operation indicator A is switched from red to blue at the timing T <b> 2 when the input count of the operation indicator A is updated to 2. Then, at the timing T3 when the input count of the operation indicator A is updated to 3, the color around the operation indicator A is switched from blue to yellow. Then, at the end of contact input Tea, a process of returning the surrounding color of the operation indicator A to the default color is performed.

  Note that the operation indicator B may also be switched around the operation indicator B at the timing when the number of times of input xb is counted, as with the operation indicator A.

  In addition, a progress situation in which contact input is continuously detected may be indicated by a clock hand or a gauge. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, during the period from the time point Tsa at which contact input is detected to the time point Tea at which contact input is no longer detected, an image for increasing the gauge according to the passage of time or a clock image for rotating the second hand May be displayed.

(2) Sound control In this embodiment, the progress situation in which contact input is continuously detected in the detection area on the touch panel 12 corresponding to the operation indicator may be notified by sound control.

  For example, a predetermined sound may be output at the timing when the number of inputs of the operation indicator A or the operation indicator B is counted. In such a case, different sounds may be output according to the value of the number of inputs, or sound output for the number of times of input may be performed. Further, different sounds may be output from the operation indicators A and B.

(3) Vibration control In the present embodiment, a progress state in which contact input is continuously detected in the detection region on the touch panel 12 corresponding to the operation indicator may be notified by vibration control.

For example, the control may be performed so that the predetermined vibration is performed at the timing when the number of inputs of the operation indicator A or the operation indicator B is counted. In such a case, different vibrations may be performed according to the value of the number of inputs, or vibration for the number of times of input may be performed. In addition, the operation indicator A,
Different vibrations may be performed in B.

4.9 Single-Press Processing In this embodiment, when there is a touch input that is not determined to be a long press, it is determined that the number of inputs is one and processing is performed.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 14, the elapsed time Txa in which the contact input is continuously detected from the contact input detection start time Tsa of the operation indicator A is counted, and the elapsed time Txa does not pass the determination period Td. When the touch input ends at the timing Tea, it is determined that the input is not a long press but a single press, the number of times of input xa is set to 1 (counting), and an operation associated with xa = 1 at the timing Tea The command of the indicator A is received. That is, the motion m1 is started based on the received command at the same timing Tm31 as the timing Tea.

  Although not shown, the operation indicator B also measures the elapsed time Txb in which the contact input is continuously detected from the contact input detection start time Tsb, and the elapsed time Txb does not pass the determination period Td. When the contact input ends at timing Teb, it is determined that the input is single-pressed, the input count xb is set to 1 (count), the command of the operation indicator B is received at timing Teb, and the motion m1b based on the received command To start.

4.10 Player Object to be Operated In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5A, there are a plurality of player objects P1 to P4, and any one player object is set as an operation target. A marker MK is shown for the player object currently being operated.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5B, the player object to be operated can be selected (switched) by flick input in a predetermined detection area gg. For example, when the player flicks in the right direction, the player object P2 positioned in the right direction with respect to the currently selected player object P1 is selected. On the other hand, when the player flicks to the left, the player object P4 located in the left direction with respect to the currently selected player object P1 is selected.

4.11 Movement Processing In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5B, the movement direction and the movement amount in the xz direction of the virtual three-dimensional space are applied to the operation target player object by slide input in a predetermined detection area gf. And the player object to be operated is moved based on the moving direction and moving amount.

4.12 Game Processing Based on Contact Input That is, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, a slide input for moving the player object to be operated is performed with the left hand, and the operation indicators A, B, C, D are performed with the right hand. Contact input (input of long press, input of single press) can be performed.

  In this embodiment, a player object to be operated is selected, and a command input of the operation indicator A, a command input of the operation indicator B, a command input of the operation indicator C, and an operation indicator I of the operation indicator I are selected for the player object. By performing a command input or the like, a game process for playing against enemy objects is performed.

That is, the player performs flick input for selecting any one player object. Then, the player object is moved and operated by contact input (single press, long press) of the operation indicator A and the operation indicator B. For example, when the player object hits the enemy object, the attack power of the player object is subtracted from the physical strength value of the enemy object. Note that the attack of the player object may fail when the enemy object defends or moves.

  For example, the consumption parameter is increased by 1 by executing the command of the normal attack by the operation indicator B once. Further, the consumption parameter is decremented by 1 by executing the command of the special attack by the operation indicator A once. Also, special attacks can give enemy objects 10 to 20 times more attack power than normal attacks, so there is a risk that special attacks will be frequently used, but consumption parameters are required to perform special attacks. Therefore, since it is necessary to perform a normal attack, it is possible to prompt the player to input a contact for performing the normal attack.

  In particular, in this embodiment, since a combined attack from a normal attack to a special attack is possible, the consumption parameter is increased while gradually damaging the enemy object by the normal attack, and finally, the consumption parameter is consumed and the special attack is performed. This makes it possible to play a strategic game that causes heavy damage to enemy objects, and to improve the fun of the game.

  In addition, when an attack operation from the enemy object starts, the player can prevent the attack from the enemy object against the operation target player object by performing a contact input of the operation indicator C. That is, when contact input of the operation indicator C is performed on the player object to be operated, the defense power of the player object is subtracted from the attack power of the attacking enemy object, and the subtracted value (damage power) Subtract from the health value of the player object.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the accumulated number of successful attacks and defenses is 10 or more, a special technique command can be input by the touch input of the operation indicator I. In the present embodiment, when a special technique command is received, the special technique command is executed, and an attack power higher than the normal attack and the special attack is subtracted from the physical strength value of the enemy object.

  In the present embodiment, the winning / losing is finally determined based on the physical strength value (HP value) of the player object and the physical strength value of the enemy object. For example, if the physical strength values of all enemy objects appearing in one battle game become zero before the physical strength values of all player objects P1 to P4 become zero, it is determined that the player wins and the enemy objects lose.

  On the other hand, if the physical strength values of all the player objects P1 to P4 become 0 before the physical strength values of all the enemy objects appearing in one battle game become 0, it is determined that the player loses and the enemy object wins. That is, in one competitive game, the total physical strength value of all player objects is compared with the total physical strength value of all enemy objects. It is determined that

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5A, a gauge indicating the physical strength value of the player object and the physical strength value are displayed on the upper portion of the display 12. In this way, the player can check the physical strength value of each player object during the game.

4.13 Flowchart The processing flow of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 16A, 16B, and 16C.

(1) Process for Accepting Normal Attack Command of Operation Indicator B First, a process of accepting a normal attack command of the operation indicator B will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, 0 is set to the input count xb of the operation indicator B (xb = 0 is set) (step S1). Then, it is determined whether or not contact input is detected in the detection area of the operation indicator B (step S2). When a contact input is detected in the detection area of the operation indicator B (Y in step S2), the elapsed time that the contact input is continuously detected from the time when the contact input is detected is counted (step S3). . Then, it is determined whether or not the elapsed time has passed the determination period (step S4). On the other hand, if no contact input is detected in the detection area of the operation indicator B (N in step S2), the process is terminated.

  If the elapsed time has passed the determination period (Y in step S4), it is determined that the button has been pressed for a long time (step S5), and it is determined whether or not the elapsed time has passed a predetermined period (step S6). On the other hand, if the elapsed time has not passed the determination period (N in step S4), if the contact input is continued (Y in step S11), the process returns to step S4, and the contact input is not continued. Is determined to be a single press (step S12). Then, 1 is set to xb (xb = 1) (step S13), and a normal attack command is accepted (step S14).

  In step S6, when the elapsed time has passed a predetermined period (Y in step S6), xb is counted (that is, 1 is added to xb) (step S7). Then, a normal attack command is accepted (step S8). On the other hand, when the elapsed time has not passed the predetermined period (N in step S6), the process proceeds to step S9.

  In step S9, it is determined whether or not the contact input is continued (step S9). If the contact input is continued (Y in step S9), it is determined whether or not xb> 3 (step S10). If xb> 3 (Y in step S10), the process ends. On the other hand, when xb> 3 is not satisfied (N in step S10), the process returns to step S6. If the contact input is not continued (N in step S9), the process ends. The process ends here.

(2) Process for Accepting Normal Attack Command of Operation Indicator A Next, a process of accepting a special attack command of the operation indicator A will be described with reference to FIG. 16B.

  First, 0 is set to the input count xa of the operation indicator A (xa = 0) (step S21). Then, it is determined whether or not contact input is detected in the detection area of the operation indicator A (step S22). When a contact input is detected in the detection area of the operation indicator A (Y in step S22), the elapsed time that the contact input is continuously detected from the time when the contact input is detected is counted (step S23). . Then, it is determined whether or not the elapsed time has passed the determination period (step S24). On the other hand, when a contact input is not detected in the detection area of the operation indicator A (N in step S22), the process ends.

  If the elapsed time has passed the determination period (Y in step S24), it is determined that the long press has been made (step S25), and it is determined whether or not the elapsed time has passed a predetermined period (step S26). On the other hand, if the elapsed time has not passed the determination period (N in step S24), if the contact input is continued (Y in step S31), the process returns to step S24, and the contact input is not continued. Is determined to be a single press (step S32). Then, 1 is set to xa (xa = 1 is set) (step S33), and a special attack command associated with xa (the number of inputs xa of the operation indicator A = 1) is received (step S34). In the case of performing cooperation processing, a special attack command of a type associated with the number of times of input xa = 1 and the number of times of input xb of the operation indicator B that has received the last command is received.

  In step S26, when the elapsed time has passed a predetermined period (Y in step S26), xa is counted (that is, 1 is added to xa) (step S27). Then, a special attack command associated with the input count xa counted in step S27 is received (step S28). In the case of performing the cooperation process, a special attack command of a type associated with the input count xa counted in step S27 and the input count xb of the operation indicator B that has finally received the command is received.

  On the other hand, if the elapsed time has not passed the predetermined period (N in step S26), the process proceeds to step S29.

  In step S29, it is determined whether or not the contact input is continued (step S29). If the contact input is continued (Y in step S29), it is determined whether or not xa> 4 (step S30). , Xa> 4 (Y in step S30), the process ends. On the other hand, if xa> 4 is not satisfied (N in step S30), the process returns to step S26. If the contact input is not continued (N in step S29), the process ends. The process ends here.

(3) Command Execution Process Finally, the received command execution process will be described with reference to FIG. 16C.

  First, it is determined whether a normal attack command has been received (step S41). When a normal attack command is received (Y in step S41), a normal attack operation is performed (step S42). On the other hand, if a normal attack command has not been received (N in step S41), it is determined whether a special attack command has been received (step S49). When a special attack command is received (Y in step S49), the process proceeds to step S45. On the other hand, if a special attack command has not been received (N in step S49), the process ends.

  In step S43, it is determined whether the next normal attack command is accepted (step S43). Note that the processing of step S43 determines that the next normal attack command is accepted even when the next normal attack command is accepted during the operation of step S42.

  When the next normal attack command is accepted (Y in step S43), the process returns to step S42 to perform the next normal attack operation.

  On the other hand, if the next normal attack command has not been received (N in step S43), it is determined whether or not a special attack command has been received within a specific period (step S44).

  If a special attack command is received within the specific period (Y in step S44), the process proceeds to step S45. If a special attack command is not received within the specific period (N in step S44), the process is terminated.

  In step S45, N is set to 1 (N = 1) (step S45), and the special attack operation accepted for the Nth time is performed (step S46). Then, it is determined whether or not the next special attack command is accepted (step S47). Note that the process of step S47 determines that the next special attack command is received even when the next special attack command is received during the operation of step S42 or step S46.

When the next special attack command is accepted (Y in step S47), 1 is added to N (step S48), and the process returns to step S46. On the other hand, if the command for the next special attack has not been received (N in step S47), the process ends. The process ends here.
