In the following description, the same reference numerals are given to the same elements in the description of the drawings, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

  A game method and a game program according to the present embodiment include a character operated by a user (hereinafter referred to as a player character) and an opponent character controlled by a computer or operated by another user (hereinafter referred to as an opponent character). And realizes a sports game of a type that hits a moving body. The types of sports are, for example, tennis, table tennis, badminton, volleyball, and the like that hit each other with moving objects. In the following embodiment, a configuration for providing a tennis game that can be easily enjoyed even by beginners will be described.

As shown in FIG. 1, the game program according to the embodiment of the present invention is executed in a user terminal 1 having a touch panel 2 (an example of a display). The user can operate the player character via the touch panel 2. The user terminal 1 may be a portable terminal such as a smartphone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), or a tablet computer, or may be a personal computer, a video game device, or the like.
Note that the user terminal 1 may communicate with the game server via a network. In this case, all or a part of various functions related to the user terminal 1 in the following embodiment is performed by the game server. For example, a game image generated by the game server is displayed on the user terminal 10 by an application such as a browser. You may comprise so that it can do. Furthermore, it can also be set as the structure which can communicate with another user terminal via a game server.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the user terminal 1 includes, as a hardware configuration, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 3, a main memory 4, an auxiliary memory 5, a transmission / reception unit 6, a display unit 7, and an input unit 8 connected to each other via a bus. It has. Of these, the main memory 4 is composed of, for example, a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory), and the auxiliary memory 5 is composed of, for example, an HDD (Hard Disk Drive). The auxiliary memory 5 stores a game program according to the present embodiment. The game program is expanded on the main memory 4 and executed by the CPU 3. Note that the main memory 4 also temporarily stores data generated while the CPU 3 is operating according to the game program and data used by the CPU 3. The transmission / reception unit 6 establishes a connection between the user terminal 1 and the network under the control of the CPU 3. The input unit 8 detects a user operation on the display unit 7 that is the touch panel 2, and detects that an operation has been performed on the user terminal 1.

  FIG. 3 shows a functional block diagram of the user terminal 1 according to the present embodiment. The display unit 7 and the input unit 8 in the present embodiment correspond to the touch panel 2 described above, and the touch panel 2 corresponds to the touch sensing unit 10 and the display unit 7 corresponding to the input unit 8 as shown in FIG. And a liquid crystal display unit 20. The touch panel 2 receives a user's touch operation (such as a physical contact operation on the touch panel 2). Specifically, the touch sensing unit 10 outputs an operation signal corresponding to the touch operation by the user to the control unit 30. The touch operation may be performed by a user's finger, a stylus, or the like. The liquid crystal display unit 20 displays an image corresponding to a user operation based on a display signal output from the control unit 30.

  The control unit 30 executes the game program based on an instruction from the user received by the touch sensing unit 10, and advances the tennis game while controlling the action of the player character that functions as a tennis player in the game world. Further, the control unit 30 reads the parameter information stored in the parameter holding unit 40 according to the progress of the game, and controls the actions of the player character and / or the opponent character.

  The parameter holding unit 40 includes various parameters (basic parameters) for determining the moving speed, stamina, control, shot timing (hitting accuracy), ball type, ball speed, etc., in addition to the type and level of the player character and the opponent character. Hold. The parameter holding unit 40 stores in advance basic parameters for controlling the movement of each player character for a plurality of player characters. When the type of the player character and the type of the opponent character are selected at the start of the game, the control unit 30 reads the basic parameters of the selected player character and the opponent character from the parameter holding unit 40.

  The control unit 30 includes a movement control unit 31, an impact control unit 32, a toss control unit 33, a timing display control unit 34, and a serve control unit 35. As will be described in detail below, the control unit 30 controls the behavior of the player character based on various touch operations (tap operation, flick operation, swipe operation, long press operation, etc.) of the user on the touch panel 2.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a game screen of a tennis game displayed on the touch panel 2 of the user terminal 1 according to the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 4, a tennis court is displayed on the game screen 50, and a player character 52, an opponent character 54, and a ball 56 (an example of a moving body) are displayed. The player character 52 is a game character operated by the user of the user terminal 1, and the opponent character 54 is a game character operated by the CPU 3. The opponent character 54 may be operated by a user (an opponent) of another user terminal that can communicate via a network. The user of the user terminal 1 operates the player character 52 in order to cause the player character 52 to strike back the ball 56 hit by the opponent character 54 into the own court 58a.

  The movement control unit 31 controls the movement of the player character 52 based on a control signal from the touch sensing unit 10. When the user performs a swipe operation on the player character 52 displayed on the touch panel 2, the movement control unit 31 moves the player character 52 in the direction swiped by the user. The movement control unit 31 determines the moving speed of the player character 52 based on the basic parameters indicating the athletic ability and stamina of the player character 52 held in the parameter holding unit 40. For example, the movement control unit 31 may perform control so that the moving speed decreases when the stamina of the player character 52 decreases below a threshold value.

  The hit control unit 32 controls the hit action of the ball 56 by the player character 52 and the behavior of the hit ball 56. The batting control unit 32 controls the batting of the player character 52 when the player character 52 and the opponent character 54 are rallying. In this game, when the user flicks (or swipes) the player character 52 during the rally, the hitting control unit 32 causes the player character 52 to perform an action of hitting the ball 56. The batting control unit 32 determines whether or not the ball 56 hits the racket of the player character 52 based on the position and height of the ball 56 when the user's flick operation is input, the position of the player character 52, and the like. Determine whether or not succeeds. Note that the hit control unit 32 may refer to a parameter indicating a range that the racket of the player character 52 can reach when determining whether or not the hit is successful.

  When the ball 56 hits the racket, the hit control unit 32 determines the direction of the hit ball, the ball type, the ball speed, the ball power, and the like, and controls the behavior of the ball 56. Specifically, the hit control unit 32 determines the direction of the hit ball based on the flick direction. For example, when the user flicks upward, the reference point P1 set at the center in the opponent court 58b is determined as the landing point, and when flicked leftward, the reference point P1 is set on the left side in the opponent court 58b. The reference point P2 is determined as the landing point, and when flicking to the right, the reference point P3 set on the right side in the opponent court 58b is determined as the landing point. Moreover, the hit | damage control part 32 determines any one of a topspin, a slice, a flat, and a rob as a ball type based on a user's flick direction. For example, when the flick direction is upward or left / right, a top spin or flat shot is obtained, and when the flick direction is downward, a lob shot is obtained.

  The batting control unit 32 also determines the player character with respect to the batting timing, the basic parameters of the player character 52 (for example, athletic ability and stamina), the ball 56 hit by the opponent character 54, and the ball type of the opponent character 54. The ball speed and the power of the ball 56 are determined in accordance with the combination of the ball types such as which ball type 52 will strike back. At this time, the batting control unit 32 calculates a deviation amount from each of the reference points P1 to P3 set based on the flick direction according to the batting timing and basic parameters, and based on the calculated deviation amount, The actual landing point is randomly shifted from the set reference points P1 to P3. For example, the amount of deviation from each of the reference points P1 to P3 may be increased when the stamina of the player character 52 is reduced or when the opponent character 54 has a high shot power.

  The toss control unit 33 controls the toss of the ball 56 by the player character 52 and the behavior of the tossed ball 56. In the present embodiment, when the player character 52 having the serve right has the ball 56, when the user performs a tap operation on the touch panel 2, for example, the toss control unit receives the user's input (an example of the first input). 33 causes the player character 52 to perform an action of tossing the ball 56. As shown in FIG. 5, the tossed ball rises from the lowest point L1 (an example of the first position) to the highest point L2 (an example of the second position), and descends again to the lowest point L1.

  The timing display control unit 34 performs control for changing the display mode of the ball 56 controlled by the toss control unit 33. Specifically, the timing display control unit 34 divides the range between the lowest point L1 and the highest point L2 into a plurality of regions. As an example, as shown in FIG. 5, the timing display control unit 34 sets at least a part between the lowest point L1 and the highest point L2 as the first region Z1, and before and after (up and down) the first region Z1. The region is set as the second region Z2. In the first area Z1, a constant area at the center is set as the third area Z3, and the area before and after the third area Z3 is set as the fourth area Z4. The first region Z1 is left in the region before and after the fourth region Z4. The sizes of these areas Z1 to Z4 can be changed according to the number of times of serve (whether it is first serve or second serve), the basic parameters of the player character 52, and the like. For example, in the case of the first serve, the third region Z3 and the fourth region Z4 may be increased, and in the case of the second serve, these regions Z3 and Z4 may be decreased. Thereby, the game nature of this game can be improved.

The timing display control unit 34 changes the display mode of the ball 56 depending on which of the first area Z1 to the fourth area Z4 the tossed ball 56 is divided as described above. Specifically, the timing display control unit 34 moves downward in the second area Z1 when the ball 56 (see FIG. 6A) that has been tossed from the lowest point L1 and reached the highest point L2 moves to the first area Z1. Upon entering, as shown in FIG. 6B, the periphery of the ball 56 is displayed so as to be covered with blue. Thereafter, when the ball 56 passes through the fourth region Z4 and enters the third region Z3, the timing display control unit 34 displays the periphery of the ball 56 so as to be covered with red. Thereafter, when the ball 56 enters the fourth region Z4 from the third region Z3, the timing display control unit 34 displays the periphery of the ball 56 so as to be covered with blue again. When the ball 56 passes through the first region Z1 and enters the second region Z2, the timing display control unit 34 controls to turn off the blue display covering the periphery of the ball 56.
Note that the change in the display mode of the ball 56 is not limited to the above example. For example, when the ball 56 is in the first region Z1, the entire ball 56 may be colored with a color different from a normal color (for example, yellow), and each region Z1 to Z4 is located in the vicinity of the ball 56. Some mark may be displayed according to the above.

  In the present embodiment, it is preferable not to change the display mode of the ball 56 until the tossed ball 56 is raised from the lowest point L1 to the highest point L2. The operation of serving the tossed ball 56 before reaching the highest point L2 from the lowest point L1 is intended for the advanced player. Therefore, until the tossed ball 56 reaches the highest point L2, the user himself / herself can grasp the timing of the serve without changing the display mode of the ball 56, thereby enhancing the entertainment of the game.

  The serve control unit 35 controls the serve of the ball 56 by the player character 52 and the behavior of the served ball 56. In the game according to the present embodiment, when the user flicks (or swipes) the touch panel 2 after the toss operation in the toss control unit 33 (an example of the second input), the serve control unit 35 causes the player character 52 to play the ball 56. The operation to serve is executed. At this time, the serve control unit 35 determines in which of the areas Z1 to Z4 the ball 56 is located when the user's flick operation is input, and serves according to the timing of the serve. The parameter is specified, and the accuracy and power of the serve are set based on the specified serve parameter. Specifically, the serve control unit 35 determines whether the position of the ball 56 when the flick operation is input is in the first area Z1 or the second area Z2 shown in FIG. Determine success or failure. Note that the serve control unit 35 may refer to a parameter indicating a range that the racket of the player character 52 can reach when determining the success or failure of the serve.

  When it is determined that the position of the ball 56 when the flick operation is input is within the second region Z2, the serve control unit 35 makes the serve out, that is, the ball 56 is against the opponent court 58b. The trajectory of the ball 56 is controlled so as to land outside. On the other hand, when it is determined that the position of the ball 56 when the flick operation is input is within the first region Z1, the serve control unit 35 prevents the serve from being out, that is, the ball 56 The trajectory of the ball 56 is controlled so as to land in the court 58b. Specifically, the serve control unit 35 determines a serve reference point that is a landing reference point of the serve based on the flick direction of the user. As shown in FIG. 7, a plurality of serve reference points P4 to P6 associated with the flick direction are set in the service court 58c of the opponent court 58b. For example, when the user flicks upward or downward, the central serve reference point P4 is determined as the landing reference point, and when the user flicks leftward, the left serve reference point P5 is determined as the landing reference point. In the case of flicking in the right direction, the right serve reference point P6 is determined as the landing reference point.

  Around each of the serve reference points P4 to P6, serve landing areas R4 to R6 having a certain radial distance centered on each of the serve reference points P4 to P6 are set. Each of the serve landing areas R4 to R6 is associated with a deviation amount from each of the serve reference points P4 to P6, and indicates a possible landing area of the serve. In the serve landing areas R4 to R6, the distances from the serve reference points P4 to P6 (radius of the serve landing areas R4 to R6) are changed according to the basic parameters of the player character 52 held in the parameter holding unit 40. The In the serve landing areas R4 to R6, the ball 56 is included in any of the first area Z1, the third area Z3, and the fourth area Z4 set in the timing display control unit 34 when the flick operation is input. The size may be changed based on whether or not For example, when the ball is included in the third region Z3 at the time of the flick operation, each of the serve reference points P4 to P4 is more than in the case where the ball is included in the first region Z1 other than the fourth region Z4 or the third region Z3. The distance from P6 can be set to be small.

  In this way, the serve control unit 35 calculates the amount of deviation from each of the serve reference points P4 to P6 according to the basic parameters of the player character 52 and the timing of the serve, and each serve is based on the calculated amount of deviation. The sizes of the landing areas R4 to R6 are set. Then, the serve control unit 35 randomly determines an actual landing position in each of the landing areas R4 to R6. For example, when the user flicks the touch panel 2 to the left while the ball 56 is included in the fourth region Z4, the serve control unit 35 determines the left serve reference point P5 as the landing point, and this serve reference point P5. A serve landing area R5 having a size corresponding to the fourth area Z4 is set. Then, the serve control unit 35 causes the ball 56 to land at a predetermined position randomly determined within the set serve landing region R5.

  In addition, the serve control unit 35 determines a ball power or a ball speed (collectively referred to as power) of the served ball 56 based on a serve parameter determined by a serve timing. For example, when the flick operation is performed when the ball 56 is in the third region Z3, the serve control unit 35 is in the first region Z1 other than the fourth region Z4 or the third region Z3. The ball 56 is controlled to have a higher ball power or speed than when the flick operation is performed.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a control procedure during the toss operation, that is, a control procedure by the toss control unit 33, the timing display control unit 34, and the serve control unit 35. Note that the flowchart shown in FIG. 8 shows an example in which an operation input related to the user's serve operation is not made before the tossed ball 56 returns to the lowest point L1.

  First, before the player character 52 performs toss, the serve control unit 35 initializes a counter indicating the number of times of serving to 1 (S101). Subsequently, the toss control unit 33 waits for an input by the user and, upon receiving an input by the user's tap operation (S102), causes the player character 52 to perform an action of throwing a toss from the lowest point L1 to the highest point L2. (S103).

  Subsequently, the timing display control unit 34 determines whether or not the tossed ball 56 has reached the highest point L2 (S104). When it is determined that the tossed ball 56 has not reached the highest point L2 (No in step S104), the timing display control unit 34 does not change the display mode of the ball 56 (step S105), and the step Return to S104. On the other hand, when it is determined that the tossed ball 56 has reached the highest point L2 (Yes in step S104), the timing display control unit 34 determines whether or not the ball 56 is included in the first region Z1. Determination is made (step S106). When it is determined that the ball 56 is not included in the first region Z1, that is, in the second region Z2 (No in step S106), the timing display control unit 34 changes the display mode of the ball 56. Without (step S107), it returns to step S106.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the ball 56 is included in the first region Z1 (Yes in step S106), the timing display control unit 34 determines whether or not the ball 56 is included in the third region Z3. Is determined (step S108). When it is determined that the ball 56 is not included in the third region Z3 (No in step S108), the timing display control unit 34 changes the display mode of the ball 56 so as to cover the periphery of the ball 56 with blue. (Step S109), the process returns to Step S108. On the other hand, when it is determined that the ball 56 is included in the third region Z3 (Yes in step S108), the timing display control unit 34 displays the ball 56 so that the periphery of the ball 56 is covered with red. Is changed (step S110). Thereafter, the timing display control unit 34 determines whether or not the ball 56 has moved from the third region Z3 to the fourth region Z4 (step S111). When it is determined that the ball 56 has not moved to the fourth region Z4, that is, is included in the third region Z3 (No in step S111), the timing display control unit 34 displays the red color around the ball 56. The display is not changed (step S112), and the process returns to step S111. On the other hand, when it is determined that the ball 56 has moved to the fourth region Z4 (Yes in step S111), the timing display control unit 34 changes the display mode of the ball 56 so as to cover the periphery of the ball 56 with blue. (Step S113).

Subsequently, the timing display control unit 34 determines whether or not the ball 56 has moved from the first region Z1 to the second region Z2 (step S114). When it is determined that the ball 56 has not moved to the second region Z2, that is, is included in the fourth region Z4 or the first region Z1 (No in step S114), the timing display control unit 34 The blue display around 56 is not changed (step S115), and the process returns to step S114. On the other hand, when it is determined that the ball 56 has moved to the second region Z2 (Yes in step S114), the timing display control unit 34 changes the display mode of the ball 56 so as to erase the blue display around the ball 56. (Step S116).
In this manner, the timing display control unit 34 displays the ball 56 according to which of the plurality of regions Z1 to Z4 the ball 56 tossed based on the control of the toss control unit 33 is included. Has changed.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the control procedure during the serve operation, that is, the control procedure by the serve control unit 35.
First, the serve control unit 35 performs the user's serve operation until the ball 56 tossed toward the highest point L2 by the toss control unit 33 returns to the lowest point L1 again in step S102 of FIG. It is determined whether or not such an operation input (for example, a flick operation) has been received (step S201). When it is determined that the user's operation input is not accepted during the toss (No in step S201), the serve control unit 35 determines that the serve is not performed (no serve operation) (step S202), and again. Returning to step S102 in FIG. 8 to perform first serve toss.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the user's operation input is received during the toss operation (Yes in step S201), the serve control unit 35 determines the success or failure of the serve according to the timing of the flick operation input by the user. . That is, the serve control unit 35 determines whether or not the user's operation input is accepted when the ball 56 is included in the first region Z1 (step S203). When the ball 56 is not included in the first region Z1, that is, when it is determined that an operation input is received when the ball 56 is in the second region Z2 (No in step S203), the serve control unit 35 Determines that the serve is out and causes the ball 56 to land outside the opponent court 58b (step S204). Subsequently, the serve control unit 35 determines whether or not the serve is a first serve (step S205). When it is determined that the serve is the first serve (Yes in step S205), the serve control unit 35 increments the serve number counter by one (step S206), and performs the second serve toss in FIG. Return to S102. On the other hand, when it is determined that the serve is not the first serve, that is, the second serve (No in step S205), the serve control unit 35 gives points to the opponent character 54 (step S207), and the serve is performed. finish.

  If it is determined in step S203 that an operation input has been received when the ball 56 is included in the first region Z1 (Yes in step S203), the serve control unit 35 performs a serve according to the flick direction. A reference point (one of the serve reference points P4 to P6 in FIG. 5) and a ball type are determined (S208). At this time, the serve control unit 35 can determine the ball power or the ball speed based on the serve parameter determined by the serve timing. Subsequently, the serve control unit 35 determines which region in the first region Z1 the ball 56 was included in when the operation was input (step S209). The serve control unit 35 calculates the amount of deviation from the serve reference point based on the region (region Z1, Z3, Z4) determined to contain the ball 56 (step S210). As described above, the amount of deviation from the serve reference point is calculated based on the serve parameter, but may be calculated based on the basic parameter of the player character. Subsequently, the serve control unit 35 causes the ball 56 to land at a predetermined position randomly determined in the landing area determined in step S210 (step S211), and ends the serve. Thereafter, control is transferred to the batting control unit 32, and a rally between the player character 52 and the opponent character 54 is executed.

  As described above, in the game method executed by the game program according to the present embodiment, an input related to the toss motion of the user is received and the motion of the player character 52 tossing the ball 56 is displayed on the touch panel 2, and the toss is performed. A serve parameter associated with the timing of an input related to a serve operation input from a user following an input related to the operation is set, and the display mode of the ball 56 is changed according to the position of the ball 56 moving in the region Z1 to Z4. . The trajectory of the ball 56 served by the input of the serve motion is displayed on the touch panel 2 in response to the input of the serve motion, and the player character 52 hits the serve on the touch panel 2. Or identify power. According to this configuration, the timing at which the user hits the ball 56 at the time of serving can be clearly notified to the user by changing the display mode of the ball 56, so that it is possible to provide a more entertaining game method.
