Description

  The present invention relates to a game terminal device, a game control method, a game program, a game program medium, and a game server.

  In recent years, with the spread of highly functional mobile terminals typified by smartphones, social network games (hereinafter referred to as social games) are becoming popular as games provided using social networking services (SNS). In social games, a user who operates a terminal operates a character existing in a virtual space constructed by a game server via a communication network, thereby communicating with other characters existing in the same virtual space. While playing online.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a block breaking game in which a user operates a reflecting wall that can be moved to the left and right to cause a ball to be reflected on the reflecting wall to break a block displayed on a game screen (Patent Document 1). In such a block breaking game, the game is cleared when the user can break all the blocks. On the other hand, if the user cannot hit the ball against the reflecting wall and the ball disappears from the game screen, the game is over.

JP 2001-746 A

  However, in the conventional block breaking game, the operation is only the reflection wall arranged at the lower part of the screen, and the parts other than the lower part of the screen are simple. In addition, it was difficult for beginners to play, and it was difficult to immerse themselves in the game. Furthermore, although the purpose of the game is clear and easy to understand, the user's operation is monotonous and it is difficult to maintain motivation for the game.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and a game terminal device, a game control method, a game program, and a game program capable of improving motivation for a user's game by a new-type block breaking game An object is to provide a medium and a game server.

  In order to solve the conventional problems described above, the present invention has the following means.

(1) A game server according to the present invention includes an operation input unit that receives an operation input from a user, and an enclosure setting unit that sets an enclosure that surrounds an arbitrary point on the game screen and rotates about the arbitrary point A reflection wall setting unit that sets a reflection wall that reflects a ball that moves on the game screen, at least part of the enclosure frame, and a block arrangement unit that arranges a block in an area surrounded by the enclosure frame, Based on the operation input, a surrounding frame control unit that rotates the surrounding frame, a ball control unit that operates to reflect when the ball hits the block or the reflecting wall, and the ball hits the block And a block control unit for erasing the hit block, and a screen display unit for displaying the game screen.

  In the above aspect, first, an enclosing frame that surrounds an arbitrary point on the game screen and rotates about the arbitrary point as a rotation axis is set. The shape of the surrounding frame is not particularly limited, and may be a regular polygon such as a square, a regular pentagon, or a regular hexagon, a shape representing an animal, or a shape representing a prefecture. The reflection wall is set to at least a part of the enclosure frame. In addition, a block is arranged in a region surrounded by the surrounding frame. When the reflecting wall is set to the entire enclosing frame, the ball is always present in the area surrounded by the enclosing frame, and the user can easily hit the block on the block. Even beginner users who are not familiar with the operation can enjoy the game. On the other hand, if the reflection wall is set only at a part of the frame, the ball may go out of the area surrounded by the frame, and the user can enter the game to try to operate well so that the ball does not go out of the area. Can be heated. Even advanced users who are used to the operation can continue the game without getting bored. In the conventional block breaking game, the reflection wall is set only in a part of the area where the ball can fall. For this reason, it is difficult for a novice user to operate the ball so that it hits the reflection wall, and the game is over, so that it is difficult to immerse themselves in the game. On the other hand, in this aspect, as described above, both beginner users and advanced users can enjoy the game.

  Further, in this aspect, the enclosure frame rotates when the user operates the game screen. The user can hit the ball against the block or the reflecting wall by rotating the enclosure. A ball that hits a block or reflecting wall operates to reflect. When the ball hits the block, the hit block disappears. For example, the user rotates the frame by swiping the screen of the tablet terminal or the smartphone. In the conventional block breaking game, blocks are arranged at the top of the screen, a reflection wall is set at the bottom of the screen, and the user moves the reflection wall to the left and right. The user concentrates only on the reflection wall set at the bottom of the screen so that the balls do not fall, and it is difficult to maintain motivation for the game by monotonous movement. On the other hand, in this aspect, since the block is arranged in the area surrounded by the reflection wall set in the enclosure frame and the enclosure frame can be rotated, the user blocks the ball while looking at the entire screen. You can enjoy hitting it.

(2) In a preferred aspect of the game server according to the present invention, when the ball hits the block in a battle between a game progress control unit for setting a time limit and an enemy appearing in the game, the battle ability value of the enemy A battle execution unit is further provided, and when the number of arranged blocks becomes a predetermined number or less before the end of the time limit, the block arranging unit arranges a new block.

  In the above mode, the time limit is set, and when the user can hit the ball against the block in the battle with the enemy appearing in the game, the battle ability value of the enemy can be decreased. The user wins when the enemy ability value becomes zero within the time limit, and the user loses when the enemy ability value does not become zero within the time limit. When the user hits a block to the block, the number of arranged blocks is steadily decreasing, but in this aspect, when the number of arranged blocks becomes less than a predetermined number before the time limit expires, a new block Is placed. The number, shape, location, etc. of the newly arranged blocks may be the same as or different from the number, shape, location, etc. of the blocks initially arranged.

  In the conventional block breaking game, if the ball falls on the reflecting wall without being hit, the game will be over, so the novice user hits the reflecting wall rather than breaking the block. I was concentrating on. On the other hand, in this aspect, the game can be continued within the time limit, and enjoyment of hitting the ball against the block can be obtained without concentrating only on the reflection wall. Moreover, in this aspect, not only can the ball be applied to the block and the block disappears, but also the enemy's competitive ability value can be reduced, so that the user can be more enthusiastic about the game. In particular, it is possible for the advanced user to think of how to quickly defeat the enemy, that is, how to efficiently eliminate the block, and can motivate the challenge.

(3) In a preferred aspect of the game server according to the present invention, the game server further includes a game progress control unit that sets a time limit, and the reflection wall setting unit sets a reflection wall that partially disappears when the ball hits. When the ball goes out of the area surrounded by the enclosure frame, the ball control unit returns the ball again to the area enclosed by the enclosure frame, and the game progress control unit Is shortened by a predetermined time.

  In the above aspect, the reflective wall which a part lose | disappears when a ball hits is set. When the reflection wall disappears, the ball easily goes out of the area surrounded by the frame. The user can be engrossed by the game so that the ball does not go out of the area. In this aspect, a time limit is set, and when the ball goes out of the area, it is returned to the area again and the time limit is shortened by a predetermined time. For example, in a battle with an enemy appearing in the game, if the time limit is shortened, it becomes more difficult to defeat the enemy. Therefore, the user's willingness to challenge can be stimulated so that the ball does not go out of the area.

(4) In a preferred aspect of the game server according to the present invention, the strength of the reflection wall is set according to the number of ball collisions required for the reflection wall to disappear. When the number of times that the lens has moved out of the region is equal to or greater than a predetermined number, the reflecting wall setting unit sets a reflecting wall in which the number of ball collisions is increased from a reference number.

  In the above aspect, the strength of the reflection wall is set by the number of ball collisions necessary for the reflection wall to disappear. When the number of ball collisions is accumulated and the accumulated number reaches a predetermined number, the reflection wall disappears. For example, there is a reflection wall that disappears when a ball hits once, and a reflection wall that disappears when a ball hits it five times. The intensity of the reflection wall is weaker in the former and stronger in the latter. In this aspect, from the user's operation history information, when the number of times the ball has moved out of the region is equal to or greater than the predetermined number, a reflection wall is set in which the number of ball collisions is increased from the reference number. If the ball is taken out of the area many times without being able to operate well, it is conceivable that the user's motivation for the game is reduced. On the other hand, by increasing the strength of the reflecting wall, even if the user hits the reflecting wall that disappears when it hits the ball, the reflecting wall does not disappear immediately, You can stay in the area. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the user's motivation for the game from decreasing.

(5) In a preferred aspect of the game server according to the present invention, when the ball has not hit the block for a predetermined time based on the user operation history information, the screen display unit displays the ball from the present to the future. A trajectory is displayed.

  In the above aspect, from the user's operation history information, when the ball has not hit the block for a predetermined time, the trajectory of the ball from the present to the future is displayed on the game screen. The case where the ball does not hit the block for a predetermined time is considered to be a case where the user cannot grasp the angle at which the ball should hit the reflecting wall in order to hit the ball bounced off the reflecting wall to the block. It is done. If the ball cannot hit the block at all without being able to operate well, it is conceivable that the user's willingness to game is reduced. On the other hand, displaying the trajectory of the ball from the present to the future makes it easier for the user to hit the ball against the block. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the user's motivation for the game from decreasing.

(6) In a preferred aspect of the game server according to the present invention, when the ball hits the block in a battle between the character operated by the user and another character operated by another user, the battle ability value of the other character And the strength of the reflection wall is set according to the number of ball collisions required for the reflection wall to disappear, and the reflection wall setting unit A reflection wall having an intensity corresponding to a difference in experience value between the character and the other character is set.

  In the above aspect, in a battle between a character operated by the user (own character) and another character operated by another user, when the user can hit the ball on the block, the battle ability value of the other character is decreased. be able to. If the fighting ability value of the other character becomes 0 before the fighting ability value of the own character becomes 0, the user wins, and the fighting ability value of the own character becomes 0 before the fighting ability value of the other character becomes 0. Then it is the user's loss. In this aspect, for each character, a reflecting wall having a strength corresponding to the difference in experience value between the player character and the other character is set. If the experience value of the player character and the other character are approximately the same, a reflecting wall having the same strength is set for each character. In addition, when the experience value of the own character is higher than the experience value of the other character, a reflection wall with weak intensity is set so that the difficulty level of the own character is higher. That is, the reflection wall is set so that the difference in intensity increases as the difference in experience value between the player character and the other character increases.

  The experience value of the character is, for example, an in-game level. The in-game level increases, for example, every time the stage set in the game is cleared, or the points obtained when defeating enemies appearing in the game are accumulated and each time the predetermined level is reached Or rise. Normally, the experience value of a character operated by an advanced user who is long in operation and familiar with the operation is high, and the experience value of a character operated by a novice user who is not familiar with the operation is low. In the battle between the advanced user and the novice user, the advanced user easily wins, which is not interesting for the novice user. On the other hand, even advanced users will not be motivated to win easily. On the other hand, in this aspect, in the battle between the advanced user and the novice user, the strength of the reflection wall is set so as to increase the difficulty for the character operated by the advanced user, so It is not always the case that an expert user wins, but it is possible to make the battle interesting. Both advanced users and novice users can increase their motivation for the game.

  In any aspect of the present invention as described above, the invention of the game terminal device can also be understood as a game control method, a game program, a game program medium, and a game server.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a game terminal device, a game control method, a game program, a game program medium, and a game server that can improve motivation for a user's game by a new type of block breaking game. .

  A mode for carrying out the present invention (hereinafter referred to as the present embodiment) will be described with a specific example. The present embodiment relates to a game system that provides a game to a terminal connected to a game server via a communication network. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, a game system G according to the present embodiment includes a game server 1 that provides a game to a user, and a terminal 3a that is connected to the game server 1 via the Internet 2 that is a communication network. 3b, 3c,..., 3n (hereinafter collectively referred to as terminal 3).

  In the following, first, prior to the description of the embodiment, the definitions of terms used in the present embodiment are clarified, and further, an outline of the social game handled in the present embodiment is described, and then the configuration and processing contents of the game system G are specifically described. I will explain it.

(1) Definition of terms Definitions of terms used in the present embodiment are as follows.

  “User” refers to an entity operating a terminal, that is, a person. On the other hand, a virtual entity impersonating the user or formed in accordance with the user's taste or preference in the virtual space by a button or touch operation on the terminal of the “user” that is the entity is referred to as a “character”.

(2) Outline of Breaking Game Next, the outline of the breaking game that is provided from the game server 1 to the terminal 3 connected via the Internet 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The block breaking game is a game in which a block is broken by hitting a block on the block displayed on the game screen. The block breaking game is formed as a whole game by organically combining a plurality of game parts (hereinafter also simply referred to as “parts”). For example, the block breaking game 20 includes a battle part 21, a performance part 22, a gacha part 23, and an item purchase part 24, as shown in FIG.

  The battle part 21 is a part that battles against an enemy appearing in the game or another character operated by another user. The enemy that appears in the game has a predetermined battle ability value (HP), and the user can reduce the enemy's HP by hitting a block displayed on the game screen. When the enemy's HP reaches 0, the user wins. In a battle with another character, if the HP of the other character becomes 0 before the HP of the character operated by the user becomes 0, it is a user's victory.

  The achievement part 22 is a part that represents the battle result in the battle part 21 as an achievement. As the number of matches increases, the results increase, and the user's self-satisfaction can be enhanced.

  The gacha part 23 is a part in which the user randomly acquires an item based on the appearance rate for each item, using a gacha point or gacha authority virtually given instead of a coin. Items acquired by gacha are stored in a user information data table, which will be described later, as owned items of characters operated by the user. Note that gacha is derived from “Gachagacha” (registered trademark), which represents the appearance of a capsule toy that is a toy packaged in a capsule after coins are inserted into a vending machine.

  The item purchase part 24 is a part where the user can purchase an item. Items acquired by purchase are stored in a user information data table, which will be described later, as owned items of characters operated by the user.

  The block breaking game 20 composed of a plurality of parts as described above is not a game in which each part is independent of the other parts. As described above, the parts are related to each other and combined to form a game. It has significance as a whole. Therefore, in the block breaking game 20, one game can be advanced as a whole by the virtual user effectively progressing each part.

(3) Basic hardware configuration (3-1) Terminal configuration Based on the definition of the block breaking game 20 as described above, a hardware configuration for realizing the game system G of the present embodiment will be described below. .

  As illustrated in FIG. 1, the terminal 3 includes a portable wireless communication terminal including a wireless communication unit 31, a display unit 32, and an operation unit 33, for example. The wireless communication unit 31 connects to the Internet 2 using a mobile phone line or a wireless LAN line, and performs data communication with the game server 1 on a web browser. The display unit 32 displays the web browser screen received from the game server 1. For example, the operation unit 33 includes a touch panel that receives an operation input from an actual user according to the display on the screen of the display unit 32. The operation input received from the real user in this way is transmitted to the game server 1 by the wireless communication unit 31.

  In the terminal 3 having such a hardware configuration, for example, individual authentication processing of the terminal is performed by a combination of a user ID registered in advance and a predetermined password. Then, when the authentication with the game server 1 is completed, the terminal 3 receives data necessary for progressing the game from the game server 1.

  The terminal 3 may be a mobile phone, a PDA, a personal computer, or the like as long as it is a communication device that can communicate with the game server 1 via the Internet 2 that is a communication network. In addition, although a touch panel has been described as an example of the operation unit 33, it is needless to say that a configuration in which a cursor or the like is moved by a physical key operation to perform selection operation and input information may be employed.

(3-2) Schematic Configuration of Game Server The game server 1 connected to be communicable with the terminal 3 is realized by a computer having a general-purpose hardware configuration as shown in FIG. 3, for example. That is, the game server 1 includes a communication interface unit 11 that communicates with the terminal 3 via the Internet 2 and an operation input unit 12 that receives an operation input from a user such as a keyboard and a mouse, as shown in FIG. . In addition, the game server 1 includes an arithmetic processing unit 13 such as a CPU that performs various arithmetic processes, a main memory 14 such as an SRAM or DRAM that temporarily stores arithmetic processing data, and a hard disk that stores application programs and various data. And the like, and a display 16 for displaying the calculation processing result.

  The game server 1 installs a program for providing the above-described block breaking game 20 to the user in the storage device 15, thereby realizing a functional block as shown in FIG.

  That is, in the game server 1, for example, a function including an operation data receiving unit 11a, a game data processing unit 100, and a game data storage unit 200 that manages game data is realized as shown in FIG.

  The operation data receiving unit 11 a is means for receiving operation data transmitted from the terminal 3 through the communication network 2. The game data processing unit 100 progresses the game based on the operation data received from the operation data receiving unit 11a, and transmits game image data representing the progress result to the terminal 3 via the transmission unit (not shown). In addition, the game data storage unit 200 stores data indicating the progress result. Further, the game data processing unit 100 includes a battle part processing unit 101, a performance part processing unit 102, a gacha part processing unit 103, and an item purchase part processing unit 104.

  Here, the battle part processing unit 101 performs data processing of the battle part 21. The performance part processing unit 102 performs data processing of the performance part 22. The gacha part processing unit 103 performs data processing of the gacha part 23. The item purchase part processing unit 104 performs data processing of the item purchase part 24.

(3-3) Specific Configuration of Game Server Hereinafter, a battle part processing unit 101 having a configuration specific to the present embodiment, and game data storage serving as a storage area for realizing processing in this battle part processing unit 101 A specific configuration of the unit 200 will be described with reference to FIG. First, the configuration of the game data storage unit 200 will be described.

(3-3-1) Configuration of Game Data Storage Unit First, as data used in the battle part processing unit 101, the game data storage unit 200 includes a reflection wall data table 211 and a block data table 212 as shown in FIG. An item data table 213, a stage data table 214, and a virtual user data storage unit 210. The virtual user data storage unit 210 includes an operation history data table 221 and a user information data table 222.

(Reflection wall data table 211: FIG. 6)
As shown in FIG. 6, the reflection wall data table 211 manages the reflection walls arranged in the enclosure frame as a list.

  The shape of the surrounding frame is not particularly limited, and may be a regular polygon such as a square, a regular pentagon, or a regular hexagon, a shape representing an animal, or a shape representing a prefecture. The shape of the reflection wall matches the shape of the surrounding frame. In the present embodiment, regular polygons such as squares, regular pentagons, and regular hexagons are preferably used. FIG. 24A shows an example in which the surrounding frame is a rectangle. As shown in FIG. 24 (A), the enclosure frame is composed of a plurality of enclosure frame pieces. Specifically, each side of the enclosure frame is composed of three enclosure frame pieces. A reflective wall is formed by disposing a reflective wall piece in each enclosure frame piece. In the reflection wall data table 211 of FIG. 6, what kind of reflection wall pieces are arranged in each of the surrounding frame pieces (A1 to A3, B1 to B3, C1 to C3, D1 to D3) is stored. . In addition, the reflection wall piece may be arrange | positioned only at a part of enclosure frame piece, and may be arrange | positioned at the whole enclosure frame piece. When the reflecting wall piece is not disposed on the surrounding frame piece, “−” is displayed in FIG. 6.

  The reflective wall piece includes a reflective wall piece that disappears when a ball hits and a reflective wall piece that does not disappear even when a ball hits it. In FIG. 6, the reflecting wall piece that does not disappear even when the ball hits is displayed as “T”, and the reflecting wall piece that disappears when the ball hits is displayed as “S”. In addition, intensity | strength is set to the reflecting wall piece which will be lose | disappeared when a ball hits. The strength is set by the number of ball collisions necessary for the reflection wall piece to disappear. The strength is expressed in, for example, five levels of 1 to 5, and the strength 5 is the highest. For example, the reflecting wall piece that disappears when the ball hits twice has strength 2, and is displayed as “S2” in FIG.

  For example, the reflection wall ID001 is a reflection wall in which reflection wall pieces indicated by “T” are arranged on all the surrounding frame pieces. That is, the reflection wall ID001 is a reflection wall that does not disappear no matter where the ball hits, and a black reflection wall is displayed on the game screen as shown in FIG. The reflective wall ID 005 is a reflective wall in which reflective wall pieces indicated by “T”, “S2”, and “S1” are arranged on the surrounding frame piece. On the game screen, as shown in FIG. 24C, a reflection wall is displayed in which a black reflection wall piece, a dark gray reflection wall piece, and a light gray reflection wall piece are combined. In FIG. 6, “S2” is represented in dark gray, and “S1” is represented in light gray. The user can recognize from the color of the reflection wall whether the reflection wall does not disappear even when a ball hits it, and how strong the reflection wall is.

  Further, the reflection wall data table 211 in FIG. 6 stores data relating to the strength of the reflection wall. The strength of the reflecting wall is set in 10 steps based on the strength of the reflecting wall piece, with strength 1 being the weakest and strength 10 being the strongest. The reflection wall ID001 in which all the reflection wall pieces are made of “T” is the strongest and has an intensity of 10. The greater the proportion of “S” in the reflecting wall pieces that make up the reflecting wall, the closer the intensity of the reflecting wall is to 1. Further, the strength of the reflecting wall approaches 1 as the reflecting wall has a larger number of reflecting wall pieces that require fewer ball collisions to disappear.

(Block data table 212: FIG. 7)
As shown in FIG. 7, the block data table 212 is a list of blocks that can be arranged in an area surrounded by an enclosing frame (hereinafter, simply “inside an area”). Each block is given a block ID.

  The block data table 212 stores a block layout for each block ID. The layout diagram is a diagram showing how the blocks are arranged on the game screen. A plurality of blocks are arranged, and the shape of each block is not particularly limited, and may be a square or a circle, and an arbitrary shape is selected. Further, the blocks may be attached to each other or separated from each other.

(Item data table 213: FIG. 8)
As shown in FIG. 8, the item data table 213 manages items that can be arranged in an area in a list. Each item is given an item ID.

  The item may be arbitrarily arranged with the block in the area at the start of the game, or may be arranged based on operation data from the terminal. The item can be arranged at a position different from the block in the region. Each item exhibits a predetermined function by hitting a ball.

  The item data table 213 stores an item name and an image displayed on the game screen for each item ID.

  The item ID 001 is an item having a function of erasing blocks arranged at a position away from the item ID 001 by a predetermined distance when a ball hits the item ID 001. Specifically, when the ball hits the item ID 001, an effect that the item ID 001 explodes is performed, and the blocks arranged up to a predetermined distance away from the position where the item ID 001 is arranged are extinguished. . When a ball is applied to a block, only that block can be erased. However, when a ball is applied to the item ID 001, a plurality of blocks can be eliminated depending on the arrangement of the blocks. In the image indicating the item ID 001, a black line is shown in the vertical direction, and the user can recognize that the blast is an item generated in the vertical direction.

  The item ID 002 is an item having a name “force” and has a function of forcibly operating the ball in a specific direction when the ball hits. Normally, when a ball is applied to the block, the ball moves in the direction of reflection, but when the ball is applied to the item ID 002, the ball can be operated in a specific direction regardless of the direction of reflection. In the image indicating the item ID 002, an arrow pointing leftward is shown, and the user can recognize that the item moves the ball leftward.

  The item ID 003 is a name “add ball”, and as the name suggests, the item ID 003 is an item having a function of adding another ball in the area when a ball hits. By having two balls, the user can easily hit the block and the block can be more easily eliminated.

  Item ID 004 is a name “speed up”, and as the name suggests, it has a function of increasing the speed of the ball when it hits the ball. The increase in the speed of the ball makes it difficult for the user to grasp the movement of the ball.

  The item ID 005 has a name “enlargement”, and as the name suggests, the item ID 005 is an item having a function of expanding the size of the ball when it hits the ball. By increasing the size of the ball, the user can easily hit the ball against the block.

  Item ID 006 is the name “laser”, and is an item having a function of extinguishing blocks arranged on a line connecting a ball to a position separated by a predetermined distance when the ball hits. Specifically, when a ball hits the item ID 006, a certain distance is provided between the item ID 006 and the ball, and an effect of causing a laser between the two is performed. With the movement of the ball, the item ID 006 operates while maintaining a certain distance from the ball. Since the block can be erased not only by the ball but also by the line connecting the item ID 006 and the ball and the item ID 006, the user can easily erase the block.

  The item ID 007 has a name “warp”, and is composed of two or more items. In the case of two items, the item has a function of moving the ball to the position of the other item ID 007 when the ball hits one item ID 007. In the case of being composed of three or more items, when a ball hits one item ID 007, the item has a function of moving the ball to the position of another arbitrary item ID 007. It becomes difficult for the user to grasp the movement of the ball.

  Item ID 008 is an item having a function of reviving a reflection wall that has been named “kako recovery” and disappeared by hitting a ball. As described above, the reflecting wall piece includes a reflecting wall piece that disappears when a ball hits and a reflecting wall piece that does not disappear even when a ball hits it. When the user hits the item ID 008 after erasing the reflecting wall piece by hitting the reflecting wall piece that disappears when the ball hits, the disappearing reflecting wall piece returns to the original state. . When there are a plurality of extinguished reflecting wall pieces, all the reflecting wall pieces may be restored at once, or only one arbitrary reflecting wall piece may be restored.

(Stage data table 214: FIG. 9)
As shown in FIG. 9, the stage data table 214 manages a list of stages that can be set in the game. Each stage is given a stage ID. Specifically, the stage data table 214 stores, for each stage ID, a reflection wall ID, a block ID, and a battle ability value (HP) of an enemy appearing on the stage. Data related to the reflection wall ID can be read from the data stored in the reflection wall data table 211 of FIG. Data related to the block ID can be read from the data stored in the block data table 212 of FIG.

  The enemy's battle ability value is a value that decreases due to an attack from the user, and in this embodiment, is a value that decreases when the user hits a ball against the block. If the enemy's competitive ability value becomes 0 before the user's competitive ability value becomes 0, the user wins. If the user's competitive ability value becomes 0 before the enemy's competitive ability value becomes 0, the user loses. is there.

(Operation history data table 221: FIG. 10)
The operation history data table 221 manages data related to user operation history in a list. Each user is given a user ID. Specifically, the operation history data table 221 includes a battle NO. , Reception time, stage ID, number of lost blocks, acquired points (acquired P), and data regarding the number of times of going out of the area are stored.

  Match No. Is a number which is given in order from 1 for each battle and represents the number of battles. The reception time is the time at which an application for a battle is received from the terminal. Moreover, the stage which the user played for every battle | competition is memorize | stored as stage ID. The data related to the stage ID can be read from the data stored in the stage data table 214 of FIG.

  The number of blocks that have disappeared indicates the number of blocks that have disappeared due to the user hitting a ball against the block during the match. The acquisition points are points given to the user based on the content of the battle, and are given only when the enemy who appears in the game is won. That is, an acquisition point of 0 means that the player has lost to an enemy appearing in the game.

  The number of times of going out of the area is the number of times the ball has gone out of the area during the battle. In addition, in the stage where the reflecting wall consisting only of the reflecting wall piece that does not disappear even if the ball hits is set, since the ball does not go out of the area, the number of times of going out of the area is displayed as “−”. .

(User information data table 222: FIG. 11)
As shown in FIG. 11, the user information data table 222 manages data related to users in a list. FIG. 11 specifically stores the in-game level, the owned items of the character operated by the user, and the number of the items.

  The level is a value indicating the degree of experience of the user, and is a value that increases as the user plays the game. Normally, the level is “1” at the start of game play. For example, the level increases by one each time the cumulative value of points acquired in a match in the game reaches a predetermined value. In other words, the level of experience increases as experience increases in in-game matches.

  Character owned items are managed by item IDs. Data relating to the item ID can be read from the data stored in the item data table 213 of FIG. Based on the user's operation input, the possessed item of the character can be arranged at an arbitrary position on the game screen.

(3-3-2) Configuration of Battle Part Processing Unit As shown in FIG. 5, the battle part processing unit 101 includes a battle receiving unit 41, an enclosure frame setting unit 42, a reflection wall setting unit 43, and a block arrangement unit. 44a, an item arrangement unit 44b, a surrounding frame control unit 45, a ball control unit 46, a block control unit 47, a game progress control unit 48, a battle execution unit 49, and a screen display unit 50.

  The battle receiving unit 41 is a unit that receives a battle application based on operation data from the terminal. The battle is a battle with an enemy appearing in the game or a battle with another character.

  The surrounding frame setting unit 42 is a means for setting an enclosing frame that surrounds an arbitrary point on the game screen and rotates around the arbitrary point. The shape of the surrounding frame is not particularly limited, and may be a regular polygon such as a square, a regular pentagon, or a regular hexagon, a shape representing an animal, or a shape representing a prefecture.

  The reflection wall setting unit 43 is a means for setting a reflection wall for reflecting a ball moving on the game screen in at least a part of the surrounding frame. The reflection wall setting unit may set a reflection wall that partially disappears when a ball hits it.

  The strength of the reflection wall is set by the number of ball collisions necessary for the reflection wall to disappear. From the user's operation history information, when the number of times the ball has gone out of the area surrounded by the enclosure frame is equal to or greater than the predetermined number, the reflection wall setting unit sets a reflection wall in which the number of ball collisions is increased from the reference number. May be. In addition, in a battle between a character operated by the user (own character) and another character operated by another user, the reflection wall setting unit 43 determines the difference in experience value between the own character and the other character for each character. You may set the reflecting wall of the intensity | strength according to.

  The block placement unit 44a is a means for placing a block in a region surrounded by a surrounding frame.

  The item placement unit 44b is a means for placing items in a region surrounded by a surrounding frame.

  The enclosure frame control unit 45 is means for rotating the enclosure frame based on an operation input. The enclosure frame can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise.

  The ball control unit 46 is a means that operates so as to reflect when the ball hits the block or the reflection wall.

  The block control unit 47 is means for eliminating the hit block when the ball hits the block.

  The game progress control unit 48 is means for managing various data relating to the progress of the game. For example, a time limit is set, or a battle ability value (HP) of an enemy appearing in the game is set. Before the game starts, the time limit is set to an arbitrary length. When the ball goes out of the area, the game progress control unit 48 may shorten the time limit for a predetermined time.

  The battle execution unit 49 is a means for decreasing the enemy's battle ability value when a ball hits a block in a battle with an enemy appearing in the game. The battle execution unit 49 is a means for reducing the battle ability value of the other character when the ball hits the block in the battle between the character operated by the user (self character) and the other character operated by another user. .

  The screen display unit 50 is a means for displaying a game screen. On the game screen, basically, a frame, a reflection wall, a block, and a ball may be displayed, and an item may be displayed. In addition, after the game is over, a screen showing winning or losing is displayed.

(4) Process in game server As an example of the process in the game server of this embodiment, the process of the battle part process part 101 which consists of the above structures is demonstrated.

(4-1) Overview First, an overview of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. First, in step S1201, when the user plays, a process for setting various conditions in advance (match preparation process) is executed. Then, based on the operation data from a terminal, the process (matching execution process) which matches the character which a user operates and the enemy which appears in a game is performed. Furthermore, based on the content of a battle | competition, the process (match result process) which displays a battle result is performed. Details of the battle preparation process, the battle execution process, and the battle result process will be described later. In the present embodiment, in a battle between a character operated by the user (self character) and an enemy appearing in the game, the enemy's battle ability value is decreased by hitting the ball against the block. It is. Further, specifically, a user with a user ID 50001 will be described as an example.

(4-2) Battle Preparation Processing Details of the battle preparation processing in step S1201 are shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 13, in step S1301, the battle accepting unit 41 accepts an application for a battle between the player character and the enemy based on operation data from the terminal. The battle is performed for each stage set in the game. That is, the battle accepting unit 41 accepts selection of a stage based on operation data from the terminal. For example, at the start of the game, only one stage is displayed on the game screen, and the user can select only one stage. When the user clears the stage, a new stage is added and displayed on the game screen, and the user can select the cleared stage or the new stage.

  In step S1302, the surrounding frame setting unit 42 refers to the stage data table 214 in FIG. 9, and identifies the reflection wall ID associated with the stage (stage ID) that has been selected in step S1301. Then, the enclosure frame setting unit 42 reads the shape of the identified reflection wall ID with reference to the reflection wall data table 211 of FIG. 6 and sets the enclosure frame. For example, if the stage ID corresponding to the stage selected by the user is the stage ID 006, it can be seen from the stage data table 214 of FIG. 9 that the reflection wall ID 005 is linked. From the reflection wall data table 211 of FIG. 6, since the shape of the reflection wall ID 005 is a square, a square enclosing frame is set. In the present embodiment, the surrounding frame surrounds the center of gravity and rotates around the center of gravity as a rotation axis. When the enclosing frame is a regular polygon, the center of gravity is a point equidistant from each vertex of the regular polygon. In FIGS. 25A to 25C, the enclosure frame in which the reflection wall ID 005 shown in FIG. 24C is set is rotated 45, 90, and 135 degrees to the right with the center of gravity as the rotation axis. It is a figure which shows a state.

  In step S1303, the reflection wall setting unit 43 executes a process for setting a reflection wall (reflection wall setting process). Details of the reflection wall setting process will be described later.

  In step S1304, the block placement unit 44a refers to the stage data table 214 in FIG. 9, and reads block ID data associated with the stage (stage ID) for which selection has been received in step S1301. Then, the block arrangement unit 44a refers to the block data table 212 in FIG. 7 and arranges the blocks in the area based on the arrangement diagram associated with the read block ID.

  In step S1305, the item placement unit 44b executes a process for placing an item in the area (item placement process) based on a predetermined condition. Details of the item placement process will be described later.

  In step S1306, the game progress control unit 48 refers to the stage data table 214 in FIG. 9 and reads the enemy battle ability value (HP) associated with the stage (stage ID) for which selection has been received in step S1301. , Set as the HP of the enemy that appears on the stage.

(4-2-1) Reflecting Wall Setting Process A specific example of the reflecting wall setting process in step S1303 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 14, in step S1401, the reflecting wall setting unit 43 refers to the operation history data table 221 in FIG. 10, and the stage whose selection has been accepted in step S1301 has already been cleared by the user (cleared). Stage). If it is not a cleared stage (step S1401: NO), the process proceeds to step S1402. On the other hand, if it is a cleared stage (step S1401: YES), the process proceeds to step S1407. In step S1407, with reference to the stage data table 214 of FIG. 9, the reflecting wall ID linked | related with the stage (stage ID) which received selection by step S1301 is specified. Then, the reflecting wall setting unit 43 reads the data related to the identified reflecting wall ID with reference to the reflecting wall data table 211 of FIG. In step S1408, a reflecting wall is set based on the data read in step S1407, and this process ends.

  In step S1402, the reflecting wall setting unit 43 refers to the operation history data table 221 of FIG. 10 and determines whether the stage that has received selection in step S1301 has received selection in the past. If it has been received in the past (step S1402: YES), the process proceeds to step S1403. On the other hand, if it has not been received in the past (step S1402: NO), the process proceeds to step S1407. Similarly to the above, in step S1407, the stage data table 214 in FIG. 9 is referred to, and the reflection wall ID associated with the stage (stage ID) that has been selected in step S1301 is specified. Then, the reflecting wall setting unit 43 reads the data related to the identified reflecting wall ID with reference to the reflecting wall data table 211 of FIG. In step S1408, a reflecting wall is set based on the data read in step S1407, and this process ends.

  In step S1403, with reference to the operation history data table 221 of FIG. 10, the reflecting wall setting unit 43, in the most recent match in which the same stage ID as the stage (stage ID) received in step S1301 is linked. Read the number of times the ball has gone out of the area. For example, if the stage (stage ID) for which selection has been received in step S1301 is stage ID 006, the most recent battle is a battle NO. 11. It can be seen that the number of times the ball has gone out of the area is four.

  In step S1404, it is determined whether the number of times read in step S1403 is a predetermined number or more. If it is equal to or greater than the predetermined number of times (step S1404: YES), the process proceeds to step S1405. In step S1405, with reference to the stage data table 214 of FIG. 9, the reflecting wall ID linked | related with the stage (stage ID) which received selection by step S1301 is specified. Then, the reflecting wall setting unit 43 reads the data related to the identified reflecting wall ID with reference to the reflecting wall data table 211 of FIG. In step S1406, based on the data read in step S1405, the intensity of any reflecting wall piece is increased among the reflecting wall pieces that disappear when the ball hits. For example, from FIG. 6, in the reflective wall ID005, the standard is to set the reflective wall piece (S1) that disappears when the ball hits once for the surrounding frame piece B3, but disappears when the ball hits 3 times. The reflection wall piece (S3) is changed. In step S1408, the reflection wall setting unit 43 sets a reflection wall based on the data read in step S1405 and the change in step S1406, and ends this process.

  On the other hand, if it is less than the predetermined number of times (step S1404: NO), the process proceeds to step S1407. Similarly to the above, in step S1407, the stage data table 214 in FIG. 9 is referred to, and the reflection wall ID associated with the stage (stage ID) that has been selected in step S1301 is specified. Then, the reflecting wall setting unit 43 reads the data related to the identified reflecting wall ID with reference to the reflecting wall data table 211 of FIG. In step S1408, a reflecting wall is set based on the data read in step S1407, and this process ends.

(4-2-2) Item Placement Processing Specific examples 1 and 2 of the item placement processing in step S1305 will be described with reference to FIGS. Specific example 1 is an example in which an item having a function to advance a game advantageously is arranged in a region when a battle on the same stage has been performed a predetermined number of times or more in the past based on user operation history information. Specific example 2 is advantageous when the battles on the same stage are continuously performed a predetermined number of times or more based on the user's operation history information and the current battle is within a predetermined time from the first battle. It is an example which arrange | positions the item which has a function to advance to in an area | region.

(Specific example 1)
As shown in FIG. 15, in S1501, the item placement unit 44b refers to the operation history data table 221 in FIG. 10, and the stage whose selection has been accepted in step S1301 is a stage that has already been cleared by the user (cleared stage). It is determined whether or not. If it is not a cleared stage (step S1501: NO), the process proceeds to step S1502. On the other hand, if it is a cleared stage (step S1501: YES), this process ends without placing an item in the area.

  In step S1502, the item arrangement unit 44b refers to the operation history data table 221 of FIG. 10 and determines whether the stage that has received selection in step S1301 has received selection in the past. If it has been received in the past (step S1502: YES), the process proceeds to step S1503. On the other hand, if no item has been received in the past (step S1502: NO), this process ends without placing an item in the area.

In step S1503, the item placement unit 44b refers to the operation history data table 221 of FIG. 10 and determines whether or not the same stage as the stage for which selection has been received in step S1301 has been received a predetermined number of times in the past. If it is received a predetermined number of times or more (step S1503: YES), the process proceeds to step S1504, and the item placement unit 44b places an item in the area. The item placement unit 44b refers to the item data table 213 in FIG. 8 and selects and places an item having a function of advantageously progressing the game.
On the other hand, if the predetermined number of times has not been received (step S1503: NO), this process is terminated without placing an item in the area. For example, when the stage (stage ID) whose selection is received in step S1301 is stage ID 006, it can be seen from FIG. 10 that the same stage has been received four times in the past.

(Specific example 2)
As shown in FIG. 16, the processing in steps S1601 and S1602 is the same as the processing in S1501 and S1502 in FIG.

  In step S1603, the item placement unit 44b refers to the operation history data table 221 of FIG. 10 and determines whether or not the same stage as the stage for which selection has been received in step S1301 has been continuously received a predetermined number of times in the past. . If it has been continuously received a predetermined number of times (step S1603: YES), the process proceeds to step S1604. On the other hand, if it has not been received continuously for a predetermined number of times (step S1603: NO), this process ends without placing an item in the area.

  For example, when the stage whose selection is accepted in step S1301 is stage ID 006, the battle NO. It has been accepted continuously from 8 and it can be seen that this is the fifth match.

  In step S1604, the item placement unit 44b refers to the operation history data table 221 in FIG. 10 and reads the reception time in the first match when the same stage as the stage that has been selected in step S1301 is continuously received. .

  For example, when the stage whose selection is accepted in step S1301 is stage ID 006, the battle NO. 8 is the first match, and the reception time is 9:54 on June 25, 2016.

  In step S1605, the item placement unit 44b determines whether or not the reception time in the current battle is within a predetermined time from the reception time read in step S1604. If it is within the predetermined time (step S1605: YES), the process proceeds to step S1606, and the item placement unit 44b places the item in the area. The item placement unit 44b refers to the item data table 213 in FIG. 8 and selects and places an item having a function of advantageously progressing the game. On the other hand, if the predetermined number of times has not been received (step S1605: NO), this process is terminated without placing an item in the area.

(4-3) Battle Execution Processing Specific examples 1 to 3 of the battle execution processing in step S1202 are shown in FIGS. Specific example 1 is an example in which a new block is arranged when the number of arranged blocks becomes a predetermined number or less before the time limit expires. Specific example 2 is an example in which when the ball goes out of the area, it is returned to the area again, and the time limit is shortened by a predetermined time. Specific example 3 is an example in which the trajectory of the ball from the present to the future is displayed when the ball has not hit the block for a predetermined time.

(Specific example 1)
As shown in FIG. 17, in step S1701, the screen display unit 50 displays a game start screen on the terminal. On the game start screen, a display area (for example, “Start!”) That accepts the user's intention to start the game is displayed.

  In step S1702, the game progress control unit 48 determines whether or not the start of the game has been accepted, that is, whether or not the display area “START!” Has been operated by the user, based on the operation data from the terminal. Until the operation input is received, the process of step S1702 is repeatedly executed. When the operation input is received (step S1702: YES), the process proceeds to step S1703.

  In step S <b> 1703, the ball control unit 46 starts the movement of the ball from an arbitrary position within the region. If the ball does not hit the reflecting wall or block, it will continue straight. When the ball hits the reflection wall or block, the ball control unit 46 moves the ball in a direction in which the reflection angle and the incident angle coincide. When the ball hits the item, the ball control unit 46 operates the ball based on the function of the hit item. Further, the surrounding frame control unit 45 starts the rotation operation of the surrounding frame based on the operation data from the terminal. If there is no operation from the terminal, the frame remains stopped without rotating.

  In step S1704, the game progress control unit 48 compares the game start time with the current time, and determines whether the time limit has expired. If the time limit has expired (step S1704: YES), this process ends. On the other hand, if the time limit has not expired (step S1704: NO), the process proceeds to step S1705.

  In step S1705, the ball control unit 46 determines whether or not the ball hits the block. If the ball has not hit the block (step S1705: NO), the process returns to step S1704. On the other hand, if the ball hits the block (step S1705: YES), the process proceeds to step S1706.

  In step S1706, the block control unit 47 eliminates the hit block, and the battle execution unit 49 decreases the enemy battle capability value (HP). For example, every time a ball hits a block, the enemy's battle ability value decreases by 10. If the ball hits the block continuously before hitting the reflecting wall, it is recognized as a “combo”. For example, in the case of three consecutive hits (3 combos), the enemy's competitive ability value decreases by 10 at the first collision, decreases by 20 at the second collision, and decreases by 40 at the third collision. . If the ball hits the block continuously before it hits the reflection wall, the enemy's ability value can be reduced more.

  In step S1707, the battle execution unit 49 determines whether the enemy battle capability value has become 0 due to the decrease in the enemy battle capability value in step S1706. If 0 (step S1707: YES), this process ends. On the other hand, if it is not 0 (step S1707: NO), the process proceeds to step S1708.

  In step S1708, the block arrangement unit 44a determines whether or not the number of blocks arranged in the area has become a predetermined number or less due to the disappearance of the block in step S1706. If the number is less than or equal to the predetermined number (step S1708: YES), the process proceeds to step S1709 and returns to step S1704. On the other hand, if it is not less than the predetermined number (step S1708: NO), the process returns to step S1704 without proceeding to step S1709.

  In step S1709, the block arrangement unit 44a refers to the block data table 212 in FIG. 7 and rearranges the blocks in the area. The newly placed block may have the same block ID as the first placed block or a different block ID.

(Specific example 2)
As shown in FIG. 18, the processes in steps S1801 to S1804 and S1806 are the same as the processes in steps S1701 to S1704 and S1706 in FIG.

  In step S1805, the ball control unit 46 determines whether or not the ball hits the block. If the ball does not hit the block (step S1805: NO), the process proceeds to step S1808. On the other hand, if the ball hits the block (step S1805: YES), the process proceeds to step S1806.

  In step S1807, the battle execution unit 49 determines whether the enemy battle capability value has become 0 due to the decrease in the enemy battle capability value in step S1806. If 0 (step S1807: YES), this process ends. On the other hand, if it is not 0 (step S1807: NO), the process returns to step S1804.

  In step S1808, the ball control unit 46 determines whether the ball has come out of the area. When it goes out of the area (step S1808: YES), the process proceeds to step S1809 and returns to step S1804. On the other hand, if it is not out of the area (step S1808: NO), the process returns to step S1804 without proceeding to step S1809.

  In step S1809, the ball control unit 46 returns the ball to an arbitrary position in the area, and the game progress control unit 48 shortens the time limit. For example, the time limit is 90 seconds, and each time the ball goes out of the area, it is shortened by 5 seconds.

(Specific example 3)
As shown in FIG. 19, the processes in steps S1901 to S1907 are the same as the processes in steps S1801 to S1807 in FIG.

  In step S1908, the ball control unit 46 determines whether or not the time when the ball does not hit the block is a predetermined time or more. If it is longer than the predetermined time (step S1908: YES), the process proceeds to step S1909. On the other hand, if it is less than the predetermined time (step S1908: NO), the process returns to step S1904.

  In step S1909, the screen display unit 50 displays the trajectory of the ball from the present to the future on the terminal. The user can recognize which direction the ball moves after hitting the reflecting wall.

  In addition, the process of Examples 1-3 can be combined suitably. For example, when Example 1 and Example 2 are combined, when the number of arranged blocks becomes less than a predetermined number before the time limit expires, the block placement unit places a new block and the ball is out of the area. When it comes out, the ball control unit returns the ball to the area again, and the game progress control unit shortens the time limit by a predetermined time.

(4-4) Battle Result Processing Details of the battle result processing in step S1203 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 20, in step S2001, the battle execution unit 49 determines whether or not the enemy battle capability value has become 0 before the time limit expires. If 0 (step S2001: YES), the process proceeds to step S2002. On the other hand, if it is not 0 (step S2001: NO), the process proceeds to step S2007. In step S2007, the screen display unit 50 displays on the terminal a losing image indicating that the character operated by the user has lost the enemy.

  In step S2002, the battle execution unit 49 determines a victory point (win P) to be given to the character operated by the user for winning the battle against the enemy. For example, the victory P is a constant value common to each battle.

  In step S2003, the battle execution unit 49 determines a time point (time P) according to the length of the time limit (remaining time) remaining when the enemy battle ability value becomes zero. For example, the time P is determined to be 10P per second remaining time. The longer the remaining time, the more time P increases.

  In step S2004, the battle execution unit 49 determines a failure point (failure P) according to the number of times the ball has moved out of the area. Failure P is a negative value. For example, the failure P is determined to be −10P for each time it goes out of the area. The greater the number of times of going out of the area, the greater the absolute value of failure P.

  In step S2005, the battle execution unit 49 calculates an acquisition P to be given to the character operated by the user. The acquisition P is calculated by adding the victory P, the time P, and the failure P.

  In step S2006, the screen display unit 50 displays a winning image indicating that the character operated by the user has won the enemy on the terminal. At that time, the screen display unit 50 also displays the acquisition P to be given to the character operated by the user. The victory P, time P, and failure P are preferably displayed together.

(5) Other Embodiments In the present embodiment, an aspect in a battle between a character operated by a user (own character) and an enemy appearing in the game is shown, but the other characters are operated by the own character and other users. It may be a battle against a character. The number of other characters is not particularly limited. On the user's game screen, a reflective wall that is rotated by a user's operation input, a ball for the player's own character, and a block for the player's own character are displayed. Balls and blocks for other characters are displayed. That is, the user can see the game screen operated by other users as well as the game screen operated by the user. The battle is performed by receiving operation data from a plurality of terminals. In another embodiment, the data necessary for progressing the game may be received from the game server 1 and the operation data in the operation unit 33 may be transmitted to the game server 1. Below, the one-on-one battle, which is a case where there is one other character, will be specifically described.

  The outline of other embodiments is the same as that of this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 12, first, in step S1201, when the user plays, a process of setting various conditions in advance (match preparation process) is executed. Then, based on the operation data from a terminal, the process (battle execution process) which makes the own character and another character fight is performed. Furthermore, the process (match result process) which displays a match result on each terminal based on the contents of a match is performed. Details of the battle preparation process, the battle execution process, and the battle result process will be described later.

(5-1) Battle Preparation Processing As shown in FIG. 21, in S2101, the battle acceptance unit 41 accepts an application for a battle with another character based on operation data from the terminal. In step S2102, the battle receiving unit 41 determines whether a battle application has been received from two terminals. If a match application has been received from two terminals (step S2102: YES), the process proceeds to step S2103. If a match application has not been received from two terminals (step S2102: NO), the process returns to step S2101. .

  In step S <b> 2103, the surrounding frame setting unit 42 sets an enclosing frame for the two characters that have received the battle application in step S <b> 2101. The enclosure frame to be set may be the same or different for the two characters.

  In step S2104, the reflection wall setting unit 43 executes a process of setting a reflection wall (reflection wall setting process) for the two characters that have received the battle application in step S2101. Details of the reflection wall setting process will be described later.

  In step S2105, the block arrangement unit 44a reads an arbitrary block ID from the block data table 212 of FIG. 7, and arranges it for the two characters that have received the application for the battle in step S2101. The blocks to be arranged may be the same or different for the two characters.

  In step S2106, the game progress control unit 48 sets a battle ability value (HP) for the two characters that have received the battle application in step S2101. The same battle ability value is set for the two characters.

(5-2) Reflecting Wall Setting Process A specific example of the reflecting wall setting process in step S2104 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 22, in step S2201, the reflecting wall setting unit 43 refers to the user information data table 222 in FIG. 11, and sets the level of one of the two characters that have received the battle application in step S2101. read out. For example, the level of the user ID 50001 is 35.

  In step S2202, the reflecting wall setting unit 43 refers to the user information data table 222 in FIG. 11 and reads the level of the other character of the two characters that have received the battle application in step S2101. For example, the user ID 50002 has a level of 90.

  In step S2203, the reflection wall setting unit 43 calculates the difference between the levels read in step S2201 and step S2202. For example, the level difference between the user ID 50001 and the user ID 50002 is 55.

  In step S2204, the reflection wall setting unit 43 determines the intensity difference of the reflection walls according to the level difference calculated in step S2203. For example, if the level difference is 0-10, the intensity difference is 0. If the level difference is 11-30, the intensity difference is 1. If the level difference is 31-50, the intensity difference is 2. If the level difference is 51 to 70, the intensity difference is determined to be 3,. That is, if the level difference is 55, the difference in the strength of the reflection walls is determined to be 3. In the reflection wall data table 211 of FIG. 6, since the intensity of the reflection wall is set in the range of 1 to 10, the difference in the intensity of the reflection wall is in the range of 0 to 9.

  In step S2205, the reflection wall setting unit 43 refers to the reflection wall data table 211 of FIG. 6 and determines the two reflections based on the difference in intensity between the enclosure frame set in step S2103 and the reflection wall determined in step S2204. The wall ID is selected, the reflection wall having a lower strength is set as a character having a higher level, and the reflection wall having a higher strength is set as a character having a lower level. For example, if the determined difference in the intensity of the reflection walls is 3, the reflection wall setting unit 43 determines that the reflection wall has an intensity of 1 and an intensity of 4, a reflection wall of an intensity of 2 and an intensity of 5, and an intensity of 3 and an intensity. Are six reflection walls.

(5-3) Battle Execution Processing As shown in FIG. 23, the processing in steps S2301 to S2303 is the same as the processing in steps S1701 to S1703 except that the processing is performed on two terminals. Omitted.

  In step S2304, the ball control unit 46 determines whether or not the ball has hit the block for either one of the characters. If the ball does not hit the block (step S2304: NO), the process of step S2304 is repeated. On the other hand, if the ball hits the block (step S2304: YES), the process proceeds to step S2305.

  In step S2305, the block control unit 47 eliminates the hit block, and the battle execution unit 49 decreases the battle ability value (HP) of a character different from the character in which the block disappears.

  In step S2306, the battle execution unit 49 determines whether the battle capability value of the character has become 0 due to the decrease in the battle capability value of the character in step S2305. If 0 (step S2306: YES), this process ends. On the other hand, when it is not 0 (step S2306: NO), the process returns to step S2304.

(5-4) Battle Result Processing The screen display unit 50 displays a losing image on the terminal that operates the character whose battle ability value is 0. In addition, the winning image is displayed on one terminal.

(6) Effect In this embodiment, the reflecting wall is set to at least a part of the surrounding frame. In addition, a block is arranged in a region surrounded by the surrounding frame. When the reflecting wall is set to the entire enclosing frame, the ball is always present in the area surrounded by the enclosing frame, and the user can easily hit the block on the block. Even beginner users who are not familiar with the operation can enjoy the game. On the other hand, if the reflection wall is set only at a part of the frame, the ball may go out of the area surrounded by the frame, and the user can enter the game to try to operate well so that the ball does not go out of the area. Can be heated. Even advanced users who are used to the operation can continue the game without getting bored. In the conventional block breaking game, the reflection wall is set only in a part of the area where the ball can fall. For this reason, it is difficult for a novice user to operate the ball so that it hits the reflection wall, and the game is over, so that it is difficult to immerse themselves in the game. On the other hand, in this embodiment, a beginner user and an advanced user can enjoy a game as described above.

  In the present embodiment, the enclosure frame rotates when the user operates the game screen. The user can hit the ball against the block or the reflecting wall by rotating the enclosure. A ball that hits a block or reflecting wall operates to reflect. When the ball hits the block, the hit block disappears. For example, the user rotates the frame by swiping the screen of the tablet terminal or the smartphone. In the conventional block breaking game, blocks are arranged at the top of the screen, a reflection wall is set at the bottom of the screen, and the user moves the reflection wall to the left and right. The user concentrates only on the reflection wall set at the bottom of the screen so that the balls do not fall, and it is difficult to maintain motivation for the game by monotonous movement. On the other hand, in this aspect, since the block is arranged in the area surrounded by the reflection wall set in the enclosure frame and the enclosure frame can be rotated, the user blocks the ball while looking at the entire screen. You can enjoy hitting it.

  In the reflection wall setting process of the present embodiment, the reflection wall setting unit sets a reflection wall with increased strength when the number of times the ball has moved out of the area is equal to or greater than a predetermined number based on the user operation history information. If the ball is taken out of the area many times without being able to operate well, it is conceivable that the user's motivation for the game is reduced. On the other hand, by increasing the strength of the reflecting wall, even if the user hits the reflecting wall that disappears when it hits the ball, the reflecting wall does not disappear immediately, You can stay in the area. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the user's motivation for the game from decreasing.

  In the item placement process (specific example 1) of the present embodiment, the item placement unit has a function to advance the game advantageously when a battle at the same stage has been performed a predetermined number of times or more in the past based on user operation history information. An item having a is placed in the region. If the user cannot clear a stage after many attempts, he or she may eventually give up trying and lose the willingness to play the game. In this embodiment, before the user gives up trying to challenge, it is possible to continue the willingness to play the game by arranging items having a function to advance the game advantageously.

  In the item placement process (specific example 2) of the present embodiment, based on the user's operation history information, the battles in the same stage are continuously performed a predetermined number of times or more, and the current battle is a predetermined time from the first battle. If it is within the item, the item arrangement unit arranges an item having a function of favorably progressing the game in the region. If the user is continuously challenging in the same stage within a short time, it is considered that the willingness to clear the stage early and proceed to the next stage is very high. This state does not last long and may eventually give up trying and lose the willingness to play the game. In this embodiment, before the user gives up trying to challenge, it is possible to continue the willingness to play the game by arranging items having a function to advance the game advantageously.

  In the battle execution process of the present embodiment (Example 1), the block placement unit places a new block when the number of placed blocks becomes less than a predetermined number before the time limit expires. In the conventional block breaking game, if the ball falls on the reflecting wall without being hit, the game will be over, so the novice user hits the reflecting wall rather than breaking the block. I was concentrating on. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the game can be continued within the time limit, and the enjoyment of hitting the ball against the block can be obtained without concentrating only on the reflection wall. Moreover, in this aspect, not only can the ball be applied to the block and the block disappears, but also the enemy's competitive ability value can be reduced, so that the user can be more enthusiastic about the game. In particular, it is possible for the advanced user to think of how to quickly defeat the enemy, that is, how to efficiently eliminate the block, and can motivate the challenge.

  In the battle execution process (Example 2) of the present embodiment, when the ball goes out of the area, the ball control unit returns the ball to the area, and the game progress control unit shortens the time limit by a predetermined time. The shorter the time limit, the more difficult it is to defeat the enemy. Therefore, the user's willingness to challenge can be stimulated so that the ball does not go out of the area.

  In the battle execution process (Example 3) of the present embodiment, when the ball has not hit the block for a predetermined time from the user's operation history information, the screen display unit displays the trajectory of the ball from the present to the future. The case where the ball does not hit the block for a predetermined time is considered to be a case where the user cannot grasp the angle at which the ball should hit the reflecting wall in order to hit the ball bounced off the reflecting wall to the block. It is done. If the ball cannot hit the block at all without being able to operate well, it is conceivable that the user's willingness to game is reduced. On the other hand, displaying the trajectory of the ball from the present to the future makes it easier for the user to hit the ball against the block. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the user's motivation for the game from decreasing.

  In the battle result process of the present embodiment, the battle execution unit determines a time point (time P) according to the length of the time limit (remaining time) remaining when the enemy battle ability value becomes zero. To do. In order to acquire more time points, it is possible to entertain the game by letting the user think about the strategy how quickly the enemy's fighting ability value becomes 0.

  In the battle result process according to the present embodiment, the battle execution unit determines a failure point (failure P) according to the number of times the ball has moved out of the area. Failure P is a negative value. In order to reduce the number of failure points, it is possible to entertain the game by letting the user think about the strategy so that the ball does not go out of the area.

  In the reflecting wall setting process of another embodiment, the reflecting wall setting unit sets a reflecting wall having an intensity corresponding to the difference in experience value between one character and the other character for two characters. In the battle between the advanced user and the novice user, the advanced user easily wins, which is not interesting for the novice user. On the other hand, even advanced users will not be motivated to win easily. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, in the battle between the advanced user and the novice user, the strength of the reflection wall is set so as to increase the degree of difficulty for the character operated by the advanced user. The advanced user does not always win, and the battle can be interesting. Both advanced users and novice users can increase their motivation for the game.

  In the battle execution process of another embodiment, when the ball is put on the block and the block is eliminated, the battle ability value of the other character decreases. In this way, by reducing the fighting ability values from each other, the user can obtain an enjoyment that cannot be experienced by simply erasing the block.

(7) Others In the present embodiment, when the ball hits the block based on the operation data from the terminal, only the enemy's competitive ability value is set and the character's competitive ability value is not set. An ability value may also be set, and the battle ability value of the character may be reduced by an attack from the enemy. For example, from the user's operation history information, when the ball has not hit the block for a predetermined time, the battle ability value of the character is decreased. If the battle ability value of the character becomes 0 before the enemy battle ability value becomes 0, the user loses. Thereby, a user's willingness with respect to a game can be further excited to hit a block.

  In the present embodiment, only an example of a block that disappears when a ball hits once is shown, but the strength of the block may be set by the number of ball collisions necessary for the block to disappear. It is possible to further increase the difficulty level and to prevent the motivation of advanced users who have become accustomed to the game from decreasing.

  In the present embodiment, an example in which the surrounding frame is a regular polygon and rotates around the center of gravity as the rotation axis has been described. However, the position of the rotation axis may be shifted from the center of gravity according to the experience value of the character. The higher the experience value of the character is, the more the position of the rotation axis is away from the center of gravity, and the more difficult it is for the user to predict the movement of the ball accompanying the rotation of the enclosure, and the difficulty of the game increases. It is possible to prevent the motivation of the advanced user who has become accustomed to the game from decreasing.

  In the present embodiment, when the ball hits the reflection wall, an example is shown in which the incident angle and the reflection angle are matched. However, a difference may be provided between the incident angle and the reflection angle according to the experience value of the character. . The higher the experience value of the character, the greater the difference between the incident angle and the reflection angle, so that it becomes more difficult for the user to predict the movement of the ball accompanying the rotation of the enclosure, and the difficulty of the game increases. It is possible to prevent the motivation of the advanced user who has become accustomed to the game from decreasing.

  In another embodiment, the item placement unit 44b may receive a placement request for placing an item in an area set for another character through operation data from the terminal during the battle execution process. The item placement unit 44b places an item in an area set for another character based on the placement request. Specifically, the user performs an operation of selecting an item from an item list owned by the own character. The selectable items are items stored in the user information data table of FIG. The user performs an operation of placing the selected item in the area set for the other character during the battle between the player character and the other character. For example, by placing an item such as an item ID 004 (see FIG. 8) having a function of increasing the speed of a ball when it hits in an area set for another character, it is difficult for other users to operate. Can do. On the other hand, the user may neglect the operation of hitting a ball placed on a block arranged in the area set for the player character while performing an obstructing operation on another user. Concentrating on the game can be increased by letting the user concentrate on hitting the block or hesitating whether to block other users or thinking about the game strategy.

  In the other embodiment, an example is shown in which the battle ability value of the other character is decreased due to the disappearance of the block of one character, and the battle ability value becomes 0 first. However, as in the present embodiment, each character may fight against an enemy that appears in the game, and the character whose opponent's fighting ability value is 0 first may be won.

  Also in other embodiments, as in the present embodiment, the block arrangement unit may arrange a new block when the number of arranged blocks becomes less than a predetermined number during the battle.

  In the present invention, the game server 1 may perform the function of the game data processing unit performed on the terminal device (terminal 3) side described above.

DESCRIPTION OF SYMBOLS 1 Game server 11a Operation data receiving part 41 Competition reception part 42 Enclosure frame setting part 43 Reflecting wall setting part 44a Block arrangement part 44b Item arrangement part 45 Enclosure control part 46 Ball control part 47 Block control part 48 Game progress control part 49 Execution unit 50 Screen display unit 211 Reflection wall data table 212 Block data table 213 Item data table 214 Stage data table 221 Operation history data table 222 User information data table

(1) A game terminal device according to the present invention includes an operation input unit that receives an operation input from a user, and an enclosure setting for setting an enclosure that surrounds an arbitrary point on the game screen and rotates about the arbitrary point as a rotation axis A reflection wall setting unit that sets a reflection wall that reflects a ball that moves on the game screen, and a block arrangement unit that arranges a block in an area surrounded by the enclosure frame. A frame control unit that rotates the frame based on the operation input; a ball control unit that operates to reflect when the ball hits the block or the reflecting wall; and the ball is the block strikes the includes a block controller to eliminate the block hit, a screen display unit for displaying the game screen, the game progress control unit for setting a time limit, wherein the reflective The setting unit sets a reflection wall that partially disappears when the ball hits, and when the ball goes out of the area surrounded by the enclosure frame, the ball control unit again uses the enclosure frame. The ball is returned to the enclosed area, and the game progress control unit shortens the time limit by a predetermined time .

Moreover, in this aspect, the reflective wall which a part lose | disappears when a ball hits is set. When the reflection wall disappears, the ball easily goes out of the area surrounded by the frame. The user can be engrossed by the game so that the ball does not go out of the area. In this aspect, a time limit is set, and when the ball goes out of the area, it is returned to the area again and the time limit is shortened by a predetermined time. For example, in a battle with an enemy appearing in the game, if the time limit is shortened, it becomes more difficult to defeat the enemy. Therefore, the user's willingness to challenge can be stimulated so that the ball does not go out of the area.

(2) In addition, the game terminal device according to the present invention includes an operation input unit that receives an operation input from a user, and an enclosure that surrounds an arbitrary point on the game screen and sets an enclosure frame that rotates about the arbitrary point as a rotation axis. A frame setting unit, a reflection wall setting unit for setting a reflection wall for reflecting a ball moving on the game screen, and a block arrangement for arranging a block in an area surrounded by the frame A frame control unit that rotates the frame based on the operation input, a ball control unit that operates to reflect when the ball hits the block or the reflection wall, and the ball A block control unit that erases the block that hits the block, and a screen display unit that displays the game screen. When the block does not hit a predetermined time, the screen display unit, and displaying the trajectory of the future from the current of the ball.

  In the above aspect, first, an enclosing frame that surrounds an arbitrary point on the game screen and rotates about the arbitrary point as a rotation axis is set. The shape of the surrounding frame is not particularly limited, and may be a regular polygon such as a square, a regular pentagon, or a regular hexagon, a shape representing an animal, or a shape representing a prefecture. The reflection wall is set to at least a part of the enclosure frame. In addition, a block is arranged in a region surrounded by the surrounding frame. When the reflecting wall is set to the entire enclosing frame, the ball is always present in the area surrounded by the enclosing frame, and the user can easily hit the block on the block. Even beginner users who are not familiar with the operation can enjoy the game. On the other hand, if the reflection wall is set only at a part of the frame, the ball may go out of the area surrounded by the frame, and the user can enter the game to try to operate well so that the ball does not go out of the area. Can be heated. Even advanced users who are used to the operation can continue the game without getting bored. In the conventional block breaking game, the reflection wall is set only in a part of the area where the ball can fall. For this reason, it is difficult for a novice user to operate the ball so that it hits the reflection wall, and the game is over, so that it is difficult to immerse themselves in the game. On the other hand, in this aspect, as described above, both beginner users and advanced users can enjoy the game.
  Further, in this aspect, the enclosure frame rotates when the user operates the game screen. The user can hit the ball against the block or the reflecting wall by rotating the enclosure. A ball that hits a block or reflecting wall operates to reflect. When the ball hits the block, the hit block disappears. For example, the user rotates the frame by swiping the screen of the tablet terminal or the smartphone. In the conventional block breaking game, blocks are arranged at the top of the screen, a reflection wall is set at the bottom of the screen, and the user moves the reflection wall to the left and right. The user concentrates only on the reflection wall set at the bottom of the screen so that the balls do not fall, and it is difficult to maintain motivation for the game by monotonous movement. On the other hand, in this aspect, since the block is arranged in the area surrounded by the reflection wall set in the enclosure frame and the enclosure frame can be rotated, the user blocks the ball while looking at the entire screen. You can enjoy hitting it.

  Moreover, in this aspect, when the ball has not hit the block for a predetermined time from the user's operation history information, the trajectory of the ball from the present to the future is displayed on the game screen. The case where the ball does not hit the block for a predetermined time is considered to be a case where the user cannot grasp the angle at which the ball should hit the reflecting wall in order to hit the ball bounced off the reflecting wall to the block. It is done. If the ball cannot hit the block at all without being able to operate well, it is conceivable that the user's willingness to game is reduced. On the other hand, displaying the trajectory of the ball from the present to the future makes it easier for the user to hit the ball against the block. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the user's motivation for the game from decreasing.

(3) Moreover, the game terminal device according to the present invention includes an operation input unit that receives an operation input from a user, and an enclosure that surrounds an arbitrary point on the game screen and sets an enclosure frame that rotates about the arbitrary point as a rotation axis. A frame setting unit, a reflection wall setting unit for setting a reflection wall for reflecting a ball moving on the game screen, and a block arrangement for arranging a block in an area surrounded by the frame A frame control unit that rotates the frame based on the operation input, a ball control unit that operates to reflect when the ball hits the block or the reflection wall, and the ball When hitting the block, a block control unit for erasing the hit block, a screen display unit for displaying the game screen, a character operated by the user, and an operation by another user. A battle execution unit that reduces the battle ability value of the other character when the ball hits the block in a battle with another character, and the strength of the reflective wall is necessary for the reflective wall to disappear The reflection wall setting unit sets, for each character, a reflection wall having an intensity corresponding to a difference in experience value between the character and the other character.

  In the above aspect, first, an enclosing frame that surrounds an arbitrary point on the game screen and rotates about the arbitrary point as a rotation axis is set. The shape of the surrounding frame is not particularly limited, and may be a regular polygon such as a square, a regular pentagon, or a regular hexagon, a shape representing an animal, or a shape representing a prefecture. The reflection wall is set to at least a part of the enclosure frame. In addition, a block is arranged in a region surrounded by the surrounding frame. When the reflecting wall is set to the entire enclosing frame, the ball is always present in the area surrounded by the enclosing frame, and the user can easily hit the block on the block. Even beginner users who are not familiar with the operation can enjoy the game. On the other hand, if the reflection wall is set only at a part of the frame, the ball may go out of the area surrounded by the frame, and the user can enter the game to try to operate well so that the ball does not go out of the area. Can be heated. Even advanced users who are used to the operation can continue the game without getting bored. In the conventional block breaking game, the reflection wall is set only in a part of the area where the ball can fall. For this reason, it is difficult for a novice user to operate the ball so that it hits the reflection wall, and the game is over, so that it is difficult to immerse themselves in the game. On the other hand, in this aspect, as described above, both beginner users and advanced users can enjoy the game.
  Further, in this aspect, the enclosure frame rotates when the user operates the game screen. The user can hit the ball against the block or the reflecting wall by rotating the enclosure. A ball that hits a block or reflecting wall operates to reflect. When the ball hits the block, the hit block disappears. For example, the user rotates the frame by swiping the screen of the tablet terminal or the smartphone. In the conventional block breaking game, blocks are arranged at the top of the screen, a reflection wall is set at the bottom of the screen, and the user moves the reflection wall to the left and right. The user concentrates only on the reflection wall set at the bottom of the screen so that the balls do not fall, and it is difficult to maintain motivation for the game by monotonous movement. On the other hand, in this aspect, since the block is arranged in the area surrounded by the reflection wall set in the enclosure frame and the enclosure frame can be rotated, the user blocks the ball while looking at the entire screen. You can enjoy hitting it.

  In this mode, in a battle between a character operated by the user (self character) and another character operated by another user, if the user can hit a ball on the block, the battle ability value of the other character is decreased. Can be made. If the fighting ability value of the other character becomes 0 before the fighting ability value of the own character becomes 0, the user wins, and the fighting ability value of the own character becomes 0 before the fighting ability value of the other character becomes 0. Then it is the user's loss. In this aspect, for each character, a reflecting wall having a strength corresponding to the difference in experience value between the player character and the other character is set. If the experience value of the player character and the other character are approximately the same, a reflecting wall having the same strength is set for each character. In addition, when the experience value of the own character is higher than the experience value of the other character, a reflection wall with weak intensity is set so that the difficulty level of the own character is higher. That is, the reflection wall is set so that the difference in intensity increases as the difference in experience value between the player character and the other character increases.

  The experience value of the character is, for example, an in-game level. The in-game level increases, for example, every time the stage set in the game is cleared, or the points obtained when defeating enemies appearing in the game are accumulated and each time the predetermined level is reached Or rise. Normally, the experience value of a character operated by an advanced user who is long in operation and familiar with the operation is high, and the experience value of a character operated by a novice user who is not familiar with the operation is low. In the battle between the advanced user and the novice user, the advanced user easily wins, which is not interesting for the novice user. On the other hand, even advanced users will not be motivated to win easily. On the other hand, in this aspect, in the battle between the advanced user and the novice user, the strength of the reflection wall is set so as to increase the difficulty for the character operated by the advanced user, so It is not always the case that an expert user wins, but it is possible to make the battle interesting. Both advanced users and novice users can increase their motivation for the game.

(4) In a preferred aspect of the game terminal device according to the present invention, when the ball hits the block in a battle between a game progress control unit for setting a time limit and an enemy appearing in the game, the enemy's battle ability A battle execution unit for decreasing the value is further provided, and the block arrangement unit arranges a new block when the number of arranged blocks becomes a predetermined number or less before the end of the time limit.

  In the above mode, the time limit is set, and when the user can hit the ball against the block in the battle with the enemy appearing in the game, the battle ability value of the enemy can be decreased. The user wins when the enemy ability value becomes zero within the time limit, and the user loses when the enemy ability value does not become zero within the time limit. When the user hits a block to the block, the number of arranged blocks is steadily decreasing, but in this aspect, when the number of arranged blocks becomes less than a predetermined number before the time limit expires, a new block Is placed. The number, shape, location, etc. of the newly arranged blocks may be the same as or different from the number, shape, location, etc. of the blocks initially arranged.
  In the conventional block breaking game, if the ball falls on the reflecting wall without being hit, the game will be over, so the novice user hits the reflecting wall rather than breaking the block. I was concentrating on. On the other hand, in this aspect, the game can be continued within the time limit, and enjoyment of hitting the ball against the block can be obtained without concentrating only on the reflection wall. Moreover, in this aspect, not only can the ball be applied to the block and the block disappears, but also the enemy's competitive ability value can be reduced, so that the user can be more enthusiastic about the game. In particular, it is possible for the advanced user to think of how to quickly defeat the enemy, that is, how to efficiently eliminate the block, and can motivate the challenge.

(5) In a preferred aspect of the game terminal device according to the present invention, the strength of the reflection wall is set according to the number of ball collisions necessary for the reflection wall to disappear, and from the operation history information of the user, When the number of times the ball has moved out of the region is a predetermined number or more, the reflective wall setting unit sets a reflective wall in which the number of ball collisions is increased from a reference number.

  In the above aspect, the strength of the reflection wall is set by the number of ball collisions necessary for the reflection wall to disappear. When the number of ball collisions is accumulated and the accumulated number reaches a predetermined number, the reflection wall disappears. For example, there is a reflection wall that disappears when a ball hits once, and a reflection wall that disappears when a ball hits it five times. The intensity of the reflection wall is weaker in the former and stronger in the latter. In this aspect, from the user's operation history information, when the number of times the ball has moved out of the region is equal to or greater than the predetermined number, a reflection wall is set in which the number of ball collisions is increased from the reference number. If the ball is taken out of the area many times without being able to operate well, it is conceivable that the user's motivation for the game is reduced. On the other hand, by increasing the strength of the reflecting wall, even if the user hits the reflecting wall that disappears when it hits the ball, the reflecting wall does not disappear immediately, You can stay in the area. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the user's motivation for the game from decreasing.
