<Description of the game>
Hereinafter, the game provided by the game program executed in the game apparatus 3 in the present embodiment will be described. Since the game program of the same content is also executed in the portable game apparatus 6, the description of the portable game apparatus 6 is omitted.

  This game requires the user to tap the screen at the position (intersection) and timing at which the tips of the objects (notes) 51A and 51B, 51C and 51D moving from the end of the game screen 5 intersect. Music game (timing game). The plurality of objects 51A to 51D move according to the rhythm of the music to be played. The user's operation is evaluated by the operated position and timing.

  The game apparatus 3 of this embodiment includes a display unit 34 (touch panel 500). The user plays a game by operating the game screen 5 displayed on the display unit 34.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the game screen 5 displayed on the display unit 34 of the game apparatus 3. On the game screen 5 shown in the figure, objects 51A to 51D and predictive images 52A to 52D are displayed. The objects 51 </ b> A to 51 </ b> D appear from the end of the game screen 5 in accordance with the music output from the speaker 36 of the game apparatus 3. Then, the appearing objects 51A to 51D move toward the intersecting position (intersection), and the tips intersect. At this intersection, a flick icon 53 and a tap icon 54, which are instruction icons indicating each operation method, are displayed.

  The indication images 52A to 52D are indication images indicating that the tips of the objects 51A to 51D are close to each other. It is displayed in the game screen before the appearance of the objects 51A to 51D or simultaneously with the appearance of the objects 51A to 51D. The predictive images 52A to 52D play a role of suggesting to the user the intersection timings of the objects 51A to 51D and the positions of the intersections.

  In FIG. 3, the objects 51A and 51B and the indication images 52A and 52B indicate one operation instruction. A flick icon 53 for instructing the user to perform a downward flick operation is displayed at the intersection of the objects 51A and 51B.

  The objects 51C and 51D and the predictive images 52C and 52D indicate one operation instruction. A tap icon 54 for instructing the user to perform a tap operation is displayed at the intersection of the objects 51C and 51D.

  The flick icon 53 includes icons for instructing the display unit 34 to perform a flick operation such as an upward direction, a left direction, and a right direction in addition to a downward flick operation.

  In addition to a tap operation and a flick operation, there is a hold operation for instructing a long press operation. For example, four objects move toward one intersection, and the user is caused to hold and hold a hold image (not shown) at the timing when they intersect. A description of a method for detecting each operation by the user is omitted.

  On the game screen 5 shown in the figure, a song name 55, a life gauge 56, a score 57, and a combo number 58 are displayed. The music name 55 indicates the name of the music being played. The life gauge 56 is a gauge that increases or decreases according to the determination during the game play, and fails when the music ends with the gauge empty. A score 57 is displayed according to a determination result indicating how accurate the operation timing is each time an operation such as a tap is performed on the displayed object, and a value corresponding to the determination result is added. It is. The combo number 58 is added when the user continuously operates accurately during game play.

Here, the movement of the objects 51A to 51D and the precursor images 52A to 52D will be described.
The objects 51A and 51B appear from the upper end of the game screen 5 two beats before crossing at the intersection and move toward the intersection (flick icon 53) near the center of the game screen. That is, the object 51A moves in the lower right direction, and the object 51B moves in the lower left direction.

  The predictive images 52A and 52B appear from the upper end of the game screen 5 three beats before crossing at the intersection and move toward the intersection (flick icon 53) near the center of the game screen 5. That is, the sign images 52A and 52B move downward with their tips touching each other.

  The user can estimate the timing and position at which the tips of the objects 51A and 51B (51C and 51D) collide at the intersection by observing the predictive images 52A and 52B (52C and 52D).

  The frame 59 defines a range in which the positions of the intersections (the flick icon 53 and the tap icon 54) of the objects 51A to 51D and the predictive images 52A to 52D are set, and is enlarged or reduced according to a predetermined condition. The frame 59 is set in the game screen 5, but this frame 59 is not displayed on the game screen 5. The enlargement / reduction of the frame 59 will be described later.

  The reference point 70 is used for correcting the position of the intersection of each object when the size of the frame 59 changes. For example, the reference point 70 is set at the center of the display unit 34 and is not displayed on the game screen 5.

The music game executed on the game apparatus 3 and the music game executed on the portable game apparatus 6 have substantially the same contents, but the size of the display unit 34 is different between the two. Therefore, the positions of the intersections of the plurality of objects 51A and 51B, 51C and 51D, the movement trajectory, and the like are slightly different (there is a deviation).
<Description of control unit>

FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram of the game apparatus 3.
The game apparatus 3 implements the functions shown in FIG. 1 through cooperation between the game program stored in the storage unit 32 and the control unit 30. The control unit 30 includes an operation input unit 300A, a predictive image control unit 300B, an object control unit 300C, a timing determination unit 300D, a score processing unit 300E, an image output unit 300F, an audio output unit 300G, and a frame change unit 300H.

  The operation input unit 300A receives an operation signal from the operation unit 30E (touch panel 500) operated by the user. The user inputs an operation by touching the touch panel 500 of the game apparatus 3. The operation content includes tap, flick, long press, swipe and the like. The operation input unit 300A acquires operation information such as contact coordinates and operation contents of the touch panel 500 and transmits the operation information to the timing determination unit 300D.

  The sign image control unit 300B causes the sign images 52A to 52D corresponding to the objects 51A to 51D to appear in the game space and display them on the game screen 5 at a predetermined timing. For example, the sign image control unit 300B displays the sign images 52A to 52D on the game screen 5 three beats before intersecting at the intersection.

  The sign image control unit 300B reads from the storage unit 32 data regarding the appearance timing and movement of the sign images 52A to 52D. The sign image control unit 300B updates the data of the sign images 52A to 52D read from the storage unit 32, and controls the positions of the sign images 52A to 52D on the game screen 5. In addition, when the size of the frame 59 is changed by the frame changing unit 300H, the predictive image control unit 300B controls the predictive images 52A to 52D so as to move toward the intersection corrected by the object control unit 300C.

  The object control unit 300C causes the objects 51A to 51D to appear in the game space in accordance with the music output from the audio output unit 300G and display them on the game screen 5 at a predetermined timing. For example, the object control unit 300C controls to display the objects 51A to 51D on the game screen 5 two beats before crossing at the intersections.

  More specifically, the object control unit 300C performs the following control. First, the object control unit 300C reads the appearance timing and speed of each object from the storage unit 32. Subsequently, the object control unit 300C updates the data of the objects 51A to 51D read from the storage unit 32, and controls the positions of the objects 51A to 51D on the game screen 5. When the size of the frame 59 is changed by the frame changing unit 300H, the object control unit 300C corrects the position of the intersection according to the size of the frame and moves toward the corrected intersection. Controls the objects 51A to 51D.

  The timing determination unit 300D receives operation information from the operation unit 30E (touch panel 500). Then, the timing determination unit 300D receives position information of each object from the object control unit 300C, and determines whether or not the operation unit 30E (touch panel 500) has been operated with an appropriate timing, an appropriate position, and an appropriate operation method. Then, the success or failure of the operation is transmitted to the score processing unit 300E. For example, the timing determination unit 300D evaluates any one of the following items according to the success or failure of the operation: Flowless, Super, Cool, Fast, Slow, and Fail.

  The score processing unit 300E processes the life gauge 56, the score 57, and the combo number 58 based on the success or failure of the user operation received from the timing determination unit 300D. For example, the score processing unit 300E adds a score of 100 points when the evaluation is “Flawless”, 50 points when “Super”, 10 points when “Cool”, and 0 points when “Fast”, “Slow”, and “Fail”. In addition, the score processing unit 300E adds the number of combos based on the number of times that the Flawless, Super, and Cool are subsequently evaluated. The score processing unit 300E transmits the value of a parameter such as a score to the image output unit 300F, and updates the value displayed on the game screen 5.

  The image output unit 300F receives the position information of each object from the object control unit 300C and displays each object on the game screen 5, and receives the position information of each sign image from the sign image control unit 300B to receive the game screen 5 Each sign image is displayed on the screen. In addition to the life gauge 56, the score 57, and the combo number 58 received from the score processing unit 300E, the music title 55, the game background, the effects, and the like are displayed on the game screen 5.

  The image output unit 300F, based on the information received from the object control unit 300C, the predictive image control unit 300B, and the frame change unit 300H, each object corresponding to the size of the frame 59 (according to the corrected intersection) and Each sign image is displayed on the game screen 5.

  The audio output unit 300G acquires music data and sound effects from the storage unit 32 and outputs them.

  The storage unit 32 stores image data to be displayed on the game screen 5, audio data such as music to be reproduced and sound effects, object appearance data, and sign appearance data.

  The object appearance data includes information such as the position of the intersection, the appearance timing of the object, the appearance position, the moving direction / speed, and the like. The position of the intersection represents coordinates on the game screen 5. The appearance timing is data that describes, for each object, how much time has elapsed since the start of music reproduction and when the object appears. The appearance position is data describing coordinates for each object when a predetermined point is the origin. The moving direction / speed is data describing the moving direction and speed for each object. The moving speed of the object may be different for each object.

  The sign appearance data is associated with the object appearance data, and includes information such as the appearance timing, appearance position, and movement speed of the sign image. The appearance timing is data describing how much time has elapsed since the reproduction of the music has started, or the relative time from the appearance timing of the object to the appearance timing of the prediction image. The appearance position is data describing the position where the sign image appears. The moving speed is data describing the moving speed of the precursor image.

  The frame changing unit 300H changes the size of the frame 59 in cooperation with the image output unit 300F. The frame defines a range in which the positions of the intersections (flick icon 53 and tap icon 54) of the objects 51A to 51D and the predictive images 52A to 52D are set, and the size is changed by satisfying a predetermined condition. . When changing the size of the frame 59, the frame changing unit 300H transmits the information to the predictive image control unit 300B, the object control unit 300C, and the image output unit 300F. Even when the frame size is changed, the display positions of the music title 55, the life gauge 56, the score 57, the combo number 58, and the like are not changed.

  Note that the portable game device 6 also realizes substantially the same function as the game device 3. For example, the portable game device 6 includes, among the control units 30, an operation input unit 300A, a sign image control unit 300B, an object control unit 300C, a timing determination unit 300D, a score processing unit 300E, an image output unit 300F, and an audio output unit 300G. It has the same function as.

<Change frame size>
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a display screen of the game apparatus 3 in which the size of the frame 59 is reduced to a small frame 59S smaller than the frame 59 shown in FIG. 3 when a predetermined condition is satisfied. By reducing the size of the frame 59 to the small frame 59S, the range in which the intersections of the objects 51A to 51D and the predictive images 52A to 52D are located becomes narrow. Like the frame 59, the small frame 59S is not displayed on the game screen 5.

  Note that the predetermined condition for reducing the size of the frame 59 to the small frame 59S is that the user selects the size of the frame by changing the setting of an option, for example. The user can set options by selecting options from the menu screen. The user selects either “Arcade (large frame, frame 59)” or “Mobile (small frame 59S)”. Here, when “Arcade” is selected by the user's operation, a large frame (frame 59) is set, and when “Mobile” is selected, a small frame 59S smaller than the large frame is set.

  As shown in FIG. 5, when the size of the frame 59 is reduced to the small frame 59S, the positions of the intersections of the objects 51A to 51D are corrected. That is, the object control unit 300C that has received the information indicating that the size of the frame 59 is changed to the small frame 59S from the frame change unit 300H corrects the position of the intersection of the objects 51A to 51D based on the reference point 70. The reference point 70 is set at the center of the game screen 5.

  For each intersection, a coordinate position with respect to the reference point 70 is set. For example, when the large frame is 100%, the small frame 59S is 50% larger than the large frame. In this case, if the coordinates of the predetermined intersection (tap icon 54) of the large frame are horizontal (x) +30 and vertical (y) -10, the coordinates of the predetermined intersection (tap icon 54) of the small frame 59S are horizontal. Correction is made to (x) +15 and vertical (y) -5.

  Each intersection is corrected so as to approach the reference point 70 (center of the game screen 5) based on the change from the large frame to the small frame 59S. Thereby, all the intersections can be accommodated in the small frame 59S.

  Note that, by correcting the intersection point, the distance from the game screen end to the intersection point becomes longer. For this reason, the sign image control unit 300B and the object control unit 300C increase the speed of the sign images 52A to 52D and the objects 51A to 51D so as to intersect the corrected intersections at a predetermined timing, Control to speed up the display timing is executed. As a result, each object is moved without changing the timing at which each object intersects even though the position (intersection) where each object intersects has changed (although the size of the frame 59 has changed). be able to.

  The sign image control unit 300B and the object control unit 300C move the sign images 52A to 52D and the objects 51A to 51D from the end of the game screen 5 toward the intersection corrected with the change in the size of the frame 59. Control. The image output unit 300F displays the predictive images 52A to 52D and the objects 51A to 51D that move toward the corrected intersection. In this case, the movement paths of the predictive images 52A to 52D and the objects 51A to 51D are different before and after the size of the frame 59 changes.

  The size of the small frame 59S is the same as the frame size of the portable game device 6 (other game devices). The object control unit 300C corrects the position of the intersection set based on a frame (large frame) having a size corresponding to the arcade in advance based on the reference point 70 so as to match the small frame 59S. That is, in the game apparatus 3, the position and movement path of each intersection when a small frame is selected are substantially the same as the position and movement path of each intersection of the portable game apparatus 6.

  As a result, the user who has selected the small frame 59S can play in the game apparatus 3 in substantially the same display mode as the portable game apparatus 6 (another game apparatus). Specifically, the user practices a game with the portable game device 6 at home or the like, and grasps the operation timing, position, and the like. Then, when playing the game on the game device 3, the size of the frame 59 is made substantially the same as that of the portable game device 6, so that the user is playing with the portable game device 6. The game apparatus 3 can be played with such a feeling.

  Further, when the size of the frame 59 is reduced, the display size of the predictive images 52A to 52D, the objects 51A to 51D, the flick icon 53, the tap icon 54, and the like is reduced to be substantially the same as the display of the portable game apparatus 6. Make it big. Even in this case, the display position and size of the music title 55, the life gauge 56, the score 57, and the combo number 58 are not changed. However, the position and size of the music title 55, life gauge 56, score 57, and combo number 58 may be changed.

<Process flow>
Next, the process flow of the game apparatus 3 will be described.
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing relating to frame change of the game apparatus 3. This process is executed at predetermined intervals (for example, 60 fps intervals). Note that the overall flow of the game is omitted.

  First, the frame changing unit 300H determines whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied (step S101). When the frame changing unit 300H determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied (step S101: YES), a process of changing the size of the frame 59 is performed (step S102). Then, the object control unit 300C performs correction control of the intersection position (step S103).

  The sign image control unit 300B, the object control unit 300C, and the image output unit 300F respectively control the sign images 52A to 52D and the objects 51A to 51D so as to intersect the corrected intersection at a predetermined timing.

  If the frame changing unit 300H determines in step S101 that the predetermined condition is not satisfied (step S101: NO), the process is terminated.

<Other embodiments>
Next, another embodiment of changing the size of the frame 59 will be described.

  In the present embodiment, after the size of the frame 59 is changed, the predictive images 52A to 52D and the objects 51A to 51D are changed from the end portions of the game screen 5 to the intersections corrected in accordance with the change of the size of the frame 59. It was supposed to be controlled to move toward. However, instead of this, after the size of the frame 59 is changed, the size of the frame 59 is shifted from the position where the predictive images 52A to 52D and the objects 51A to 51D are shifted from the end of the game screen 5 by the correction amount of the intersection. The movement may be controlled toward the intersection corrected with the change.

  Thereby, before and after changing the size of the frame 59, the distance between the predictive images 52A to 52D and the objects 51A to 51D and the intersections does not change. From the above, there is no need to change the moving speed of the predictor images 52A to 52D and the objects 51A to 51D or to advance the timing for displaying them on the game screen 5.

  In the present embodiment, it has been described that the user himself selects the frame size as the predetermined condition for changing the size of the frame 59. However, instead of this, when the life gauge 56 exceeds a predetermined value while the game is in progress, the size of the frame 59 when the user's score 57 exceeds the predetermined value and the combo number 58 exceeds the predetermined value. May be changed. In addition, a special object that changes the size of the frame 59 when the operation succeeds or fails may appear, and the size of the frame 59 may be changed by determining the user's operation input on the object. .

  Moreover, the game apparatus 3 may be provided with a mode for playing against other users. In this case, a certain user may change the frame size 59 of the game screen 5 played by another user who is the opponent of the user by satisfying the predetermined condition described above. Moreover, you may make it change the frame size 59 of the game screen 5 which another user plays, when a certain user uses the item or skill used within a predetermined game.

  Note that when the user playing the game device 3 and the user playing the portable game device 6 play a battle, the size of the frame 59 of the game device 3 is set to the size of the frame of the portable game device 6 (small frame 59S). ), The game device 3 and the portable game device 6 can have the same playing sensation (conditions), and the occurrence of an advantage or disadvantage due to the battle can be suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, a game program related to a music game has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to music games. For example, instead of a music game, an action game, shooting, RPG, or sports game may be used.

  For example, in a mole hitting game or the like, the appearance position of an enemy object (a mole object) that is a target attacked by the player character is changed according to the size of the frame 59. Thereby, even if it is a case where it plays with the game device 3 with a big display, various games can be played with the same feeling as playing with the portable game device 6 with a small display.

  In the present embodiment, the frame 59 has been described as defining the range in which the intersection is located. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The frame 59 only needs to define the position of the object operated by the user. That is, the position operated by the user is an intersection (flick icon 53, tap icon 54, etc.) in this embodiment, but may be a position of an object to be operated by the user.
