The indicator for performing an input operation on the touch screen 15 is not particularly limited. For example, the indicator may be a user's finger or a stylus pen. In the present embodiment, the user's finger (finger A1) is used as the indicator. In the present embodiment, the input operation receiving unit 111 receives input operations performed at any position on the touch screen 15 unless otherwise specified.

  FIG. 5 shows the input operation of the user and the operation of the operation character 310 when the operation character 310 is made to serve. The state (A) in FIG. 5 shows a scene in which the object control unit 115 moves the start position of the serve action of the operation character 310 in accordance with the user's input operation. The object control unit 115 arranges the operation character 310 along the end line at the start of the point. When the input operation accepting unit 111 accepts a drag operation on the touch screen 15 (an arrow for the finger A1 in the figure), the game progress processing unit 112 determines that the drag operation is performed on the operation character 310 based on the drag operation and the progress of the game. Specify that the instruction is to move the start position of the serve. The movement control unit 113 determines at least one of a movement direction, a movement speed, and a movement distance from the drag operation. The object control unit 115 moves the operation character 310 according to the content determined by the movement control unit 113 (an arrow with respect to the operation character 310 in the figure).

  The object control unit 115 can move the operation character 310 in either the left or right direction along the end line. The user can move the operation character 310 to an arbitrary position on the end line by a drag operation until an input operation for causing the operation character 310 to perform toss is performed. Thereby, the user can adjust the course of the serving of the operation character 310.

  Further, the camera arrangement control unit 114 includes the virtual camera 330 at the time of serving, the center line of the tennis court 300 is included in the approximate center in the horizontal direction of the visual field area, and the court 301 and the court 302 are in the vertical direction (see FIG. 4 in a direction parallel to the y-axis) and at a position and angle that can be viewed. Thereby, it is possible to show the visibility of the operation character 310 that makes a serve to the user, the court on the opponent character 320 side that is the destination of the serve, and the locus of the serve.

  The state (B) of FIG. 5 shows a scene in which the object control unit 115 causes the operation character 310 to perform a toss motion in response to a user input operation. When the input operation accepting unit 111 accepts a tap operation on the touch screen 15, the game progress processing unit 112 indicates that the tap operation indicates an operation character 310 to perform a toss action based on the drag operation and the progress of the game. Identify. In accordance with the instruction, the object control unit 115 causes the operating character 310 to perform a toss action, and causes the ball object 340 to appear and move in accordance with the toss action. The toss operation is an operation of tossing up the ball 340. That is, the object control unit 115 causes the ball 340 to move up and down when the operation character 310 throws the ball 340.

  The state (C) of FIG. 5 shows a scene in which the object control unit 115 causes the operation character 310 to make a serve in response to a user's input operation. When the input operation accepting unit 111 accepts a touch operation during the toss operation, the game progress processing unit 112 specifies the touch operation as an instruction to make a serve. In accordance with the instruction, the object control unit 115 causes the operation character 310 to swing the racket to hit the serve. The ball 340 is moved to the court on the opponent character 320 side according to the movement of the racket.

  In addition, when the game progress processing unit 112 specifies an instruction to make a serve, the game progress processing unit 112 may determine the success or failure of the serve according to the timing at which the tap operation indicating the instruction is performed. For example, the game progress processing unit 112 may determine that the serve is successful when the tap operation is performed when the ball 340 is positioned in a predetermined region near the top of the ascent. Further, for example, the game progress processing unit 112 may determine that the serve has failed when the tap operation is performed when the ball 340 is located outside the predetermined area. Here, the success of the serve indicates that the operation character 310 is made to hit a serve in which the ball 340 falls into the service area of the court 302 and comes into contact with the ground. On the other hand, the serve failure means that the operation character 310 is swung away from the racket, the ball 340 falls on the operation character 310 outside the service area of the court 302, or the ball 340 hits the net and falls without flying to the court 302. Shows that you can make a nice serve.

(Operation during rally)
FIG. 6 shows the input operation of the user and the action of the operation character 310 when the operation character 310 and the opponent character 320 alternately hit (rally) the ball. The state (A) in FIG. 6 shows a scene in which the object control unit 115 moves the operation character 310 in accordance with a user input operation. When the input operation accepting unit 111 accepts a drag operation (an arrow with respect to the finger A1 in the figure) after serving the operation character 310 or the opponent character 320, the game progress processing unit 112 moves the operation character 310 through the drag operation. It is specified that an instruction is given. The movement control unit 113 determines at least one of a movement direction, a movement speed, and a movement distance from the drag operation. The object control unit 115 moves the operation character 310 according to the content determined by the movement control unit 113 (an arrow with respect to the operation character 310 in the figure).

  At the time of rally, the camera placement control unit 114 displays the operation character 310 so that the operation character 310 is displayed with a predetermined area A2 from the side on the near side as viewed from the user of the touch screen 15 toward the center of the screen. The position and angle of the camera 330 may be determined. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the tennis court 300, the opponent character 320, the operation character 310, or the ball 340 from being hidden by the finger A1 of the user who performs the input operation. Therefore, the user can easily perform an input operation while watching the game situation.

  Further, the camera arrangement control unit 114 may arrange the virtual camera 330 at a position and an angle so that the court 301 and the court 302 can be looked at in the vertical direction (a direction parallel to the y-axis in FIG. 4). Thereby, the operation character 310 that hits the user, the court on the opponent character 320 side where the ball 340 is shot, and the trajectory of the served ball 340 can be shown with good visibility.

  The state (B) in FIG. 6 shows a scene in which the object control unit 115 causes the operation character 310 to perform a hitting action (an action in which the operation character 310 swings the racket) in accordance with a user input operation. When the input operation accepting unit 111 accepts a touch operation during the rally, the game progress processing unit 112 identifies the touch operation as an instruction for causing the operation character 310 to perform a hitting motion. The object control unit 115 causes the operating character 310 to perform a hitting motion in accordance with the instruction. That is, the object control unit 115 causes the operation character 310 to swing the racket and moves the ball 340 to the second area.

(Hitball area)
When causing the operation character 310 to perform a hitting motion, the game progress processing unit 112 determines whether or not the ball 340 has been hit by the hitting motion (hitball success / failure determination). In addition, the object control unit 115 places a hitting ball area 350 serving as a reference for determining whether or not the hitting ball is successful together with the operation character 310 in the game space. The hitting ball area 350 may differ in at least one of size and shape depending on the type of operation character.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram schematically illustrating an object 350 that indicates the hitting area of the operation character 310. The shape and size of the hit ball area are not limited to the shape and size shown in FIG. The hitting area 350 indicates a range in which the ball 340 can be hit by the hitting motion when the operating character 310 performs the hitting motion. The hitting ball area 350 is provided based on the arrangement position of the operation character 310. When the operation character 310 moves according to the input operation of the user, the position of the hit ball area 350 also moves according to the operation character 310.

  The game progress processing unit 112 performs hitting success / failure determination based on the positional relationship between the operation character 310 and the ball 340. More specifically, the game progress processing unit 112 determines that the hit is successful when the ball 340 is located in the hitting area 350, and fails when the ball 340 is located outside the hitting area 350. Is determined. The result of the hit / fail determination is transmitted to the object control unit 115. The object control unit 115 moves the operation character 310 and the ball 340 based on the result of the hitting ball success / failure determination.

  The hitting ball area 350 includes a straight line 351 extending in the direction of the end line. A line 351 is a guide line for indicating a timing suitable for the hitting operation to the user. The line 351 may be inclined with respect to the end line. For example, the line 351 may be a straight line extending in the left-right direction of the operation character 310.

  For example, it is assumed that when the ball 340 is within a predetermined range from the line 351, the game progress processing unit 112 specifies an instruction to perform a hitting motion. In this case, the object control unit 115 may hit the ball 340 so as to be advantageous in the game. The hitting ball that is advantageous in the game includes, for example, a hitting ball that moves the ball 340 at a high speed, a hitting ball that moves the ball 340 to the course according to the course instructed by the user, and a hitting ball that reduces the stamina of the opponent character described later. Is mentioned.

  Note that the game progress processing unit 112 may determine that the ball 340 has been successfully hit even when the ball 340 is located in a predetermined area around the hit ball area 350. In this case, the game progress processing unit 112 and the object control unit 115 cause the game to be disadvantageous when the ball 340 is hit outside the hitting area 350 as compared to when the ball is hit within the hitting area. At least one of the above may be operated.

  For example, when the operation character 310 hits the ball 340 around the hitting area 350, the object control unit 115 may return the ball 340 at a ball speed and a trajectory that gives the opponent character 320 a chance to score. For example, the object control unit 115 may move the ball 340 in a trajectory that floats at a low speed. Further, for example, when the operation character 310 is made to hit the ball 340 around the hitting area 350, the object control unit 115 may break the posture of the operation character 310 that has hit the ball. In this case, the input operation accepting unit 111 may not accept an operation on the operation character 310 for a certain period of time.

  Thus, in the tennis game according to the present embodiment, the success or failure of the hit ball according to the good degree of the positional relationship between the hit ball area 350 and the ball 340, that is, the good degree of the positional relationship between the operation character 310 and the ball 340, and The strength of the ball at the time of hitting can be changed. This can prompt the user to assume the course of the ball 340 flying from the court on the opponent character 320 side, and move (position) the operation character 310 to a better position for the hit ball. The course assumption and positioning before hitting are important elements in an actual tennis game. Therefore, the game system 1 can realize a match with an actual tennis strategy in the tennis game, and can improve the interest of the game.

(Display of elastic objects)
Further, the display control unit 116 may display an object indicating the direction of the moving operation on the touch screen 15 when the input operation receiving unit 111 receives the moving operation. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a moving operation of the user's finger A1 and a change in an object indicating the moving operation.

  The state (A) in FIG. 8 shows a display screen when the user performs a touch-on operation on the touch screen 15. The touch-on operation is an operation for bringing the indicator into contact with or close to the touch screen 15. The input operation reception unit 111 receives a touch-on operation. The display control unit 116 causes the touch screen 15 to display the elastic object C1 centered on the position B1 where the touch-on operation is received. Thus, by displaying the elastic object in response to the touch-on operation, it is possible to visually indicate to the user that the operation has been accepted.

  The state (B) of FIG. 8 shows a display screen when the user performs a moving operation for moving the position of the finger A1. When the user performs a moving operation to move the finger A1 from the position B1 to the position B2, the input operation reception unit 111 detects a change in the position of the finger A1. Based on the detection result of the input operation accepting unit 111, the display control unit 116 causes the touch screen 15 to display the elastic object C2 that is deformed so as to extend the elastic object C1 from the position B1 to the position B2. Thus, by deforming and displaying the elastic object according to the moving operation, the direction of the moving operation detected by the touch screen 15 can be visually shown to the user.

(UI layout)
The display control unit 116 can further display a UI related to a user input operation on the display screen shown in FIGS. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen displayed on the touch screen 15 by the display control unit 116.

  The state (A) in FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen at the time of serving. The state (B) of FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen at the time of rally. The display control unit 116 creates an image by superimposing the special shot button (preparation button) 360, the ball type selection button 370, and the substitution buttons 380 and 382 on the image in which the object in the game space is drawn, and touches it. It may be displayed on the screen 15.

  Further, the display control unit 116 may display the stamina gauge 311 of the operation character 310, the stamina gauge 321 of the opponent character, and the stamina gauges 381 and 383 of the refusal characters (described later) on the touch screen. Here, of the characters belonging to the same group as the operation character 310, characters other than the operation character are referred to as a copy character. For example, in the case of a group of n people (n is 1 or more), one operation character and (n-1) backup characters belong to the group. The stamina gauges 311 and 321 will be described later.

  The special shot button 360 is a button for receiving an input operation for causing the operation character 310 to make a special shot. In other words, the special shot button 360 is a button for accepting a preparation operation for the operation character 310 to hit a special shot. The input operation reception unit 111 receives an input operation to the special shot button 360 when the progress of the game satisfies a predetermined condition. For example, when the game progress processing unit 112 determines that the hit ball of the operation character 310 has been successful a predetermined number of times, the input operation reception unit 111 can press the special shot button 360.

  The game progress processing unit 112 instructs the object control unit 115 to perform a special return ball (special shot) when it is determined that the hit ball of the operation character 310 has been successful with the special shot button 360 once pressed. The special shot indicates a hit ball that gives a specific effect to the operation character 310 or the opponent character 320 when a predetermined condition is satisfied at the time of activation or after the activation. The special shot may be a shot in which the ball 340 is moved to the opponent character 320 side court by a special movement method. The special moving method is, for example, a method of moving the ball at a speed, a trajectory, and a rotating state that do not occur during normal return. In addition, the game progress processing unit 112 determines the positional relationship between the operation character 310 and the ball 340 until the operation character 310 returns to a certain number of times when the special shot button 360 is pressed from a state where it can be pressed. It is good also as returning a ball when a good degree is the best. In other words, from when the special shot button 360 is pressed until the ball is hit a certain number of times (for example, three times), the positional relationship between the operation character 310 and the ball 340 is maintained regardless of the ball hitting area 350. The operation character 310 may be returned to the ball as the best degree of goodness.

  The ball type selection button 370 is a button that indicates a ball type that can be hit when the operation character 310 performs a hitting motion and receives an input operation for changing the ball type. When the ball type selection button 370 is pressed (touched), the game progress processing unit 112 changes the ball type of the operation character 310 to hit.

  The change buttons 380 and 382 are buttons for accepting an input operation for changing the operation character 310 to a record character associated with the change button 380 or 382, respectively. The display control unit 116 may display a number of replacement buttons according to the number of copy characters. However, when the number of substitution buttons displayed by the display control unit 116 increases, the area for displaying the game of the tennis game becomes narrow. Therefore, even if an upper limit is set for the number of other characters that can belong to the same group as the operation character (for example, two people), or an upper limit (for example, two) is set for the number of substitution buttons to be displayed. Good. When the number of replacement buttons to be displayed is smaller than the number of backup characters, the display control unit 116 may determine a backup character to be associated with the replacement button according to the priority set in advance by the user.

  The game progress processing unit 112 receives a change instruction from the user. The change instruction is input by a touch operation on the change button 380 or 382. For example, when a touch operation on the substitution button 380 is detected, the game progress processing unit 112 substitutes that the character associated with the substitution button 380 is selected and the operation character 310 is replaced with the selected character. To the object control unit 115. The object control unit 115 arranges (displays) the selected character instead of the operation character 310. The character that has been changed from the operation character 310 by the change instruction may be associated with the change button 380. In this case, if a touch operation on the substitution button 380 is detected again, it is possible to return to the operation character 310. Note that the period during which the game progress processing unit 112 accepts the replacement instruction is a ball dead period and an in-play period, and is limited to a period during which the opponent character has the right to hit the ball. The period during which the game progress processing unit 112 receives the replacement instruction will be described later with a specific example.

  The stamina gauges 311 and 321 indicate the maximum value and the current value of the stamina of the operation character 310 and the opponent character 320, respectively. The stamina gauges 381 and 383 respectively indicate the maximum value and the current value of the stamina of the backup character associated with the replacement button 380 and the backup character associated with the replacement button 382. Stamina is a parameter indicating the physical strength of the character. Each character has a predetermined maximum stamina value (physical strength value). The game progress processing unit 112 reduces the stamina value from the maximum value according to the action of the character in the battle. In addition, the game progress processing unit 112 recovers the reduced stamina value according to the action of the character in the battle. The stamina is referred to in determining the performance (movement speed, etc.) related to the movement of the character.

(Decrease in stamina)
When determining that the operation character 310 has successfully hit the ball 340, the game progress processing unit 112 decreases the stamina value according to the hit ball. Further, even when the opponent character 320 hits the ball 340, the game progress processing unit 112 decreases the stamina value according to the hit ball. That is, the stamina value of each character decreases as the ball 340 is hit. Note that the game progress processing unit 112 may decrease stamina every time the operation character 310 or the opponent character 320 moves.

  The game progress processing unit 112 determines the amount of decrease in stamina according to the ball type of the ball 340 before returning, whether or not the ball 340 before returning is a special shot, the strength of the hit ball of the ball 340 before returning, etc. You may decide. Further, the game progress processing unit 112 may determine the amount of decrease in stamina based on parameters other than the stamina of the character who hit the ball 340 before returning (the magnitude of parameters such as serve and stroke).

  For example, when returning the special shot ball 340, the game progress processing unit 112 may greatly reduce the stamina as compared to returning a normal hit ball. Further, the game progress processing unit 112 may decrease the stamina greatly as the ball speed of the ball 340 before returning is faster. Further, the higher the serve and stroke parameters of the character that hit the ball 340, the greater the amount of stamina that may be reduced when returning the ball 340.

  In addition, the game progress processing unit 112 may determine the amount of decrease in stamina according to the strength of the ball when returning the ball 340, that is, the good degree of the positional relationship between the returning character and the ball 340. . For example, when the operation character 310 or the opponent character 320 hits the ball 340 with a good positional relationship, the amount of decrease in stamina may be smaller than when the ball is hit with a poor positional relationship. Further, the game progress processing unit 112 may determine the amount of decrease in stamina based on parameters other than the stamina of the character who hit the ball 340.

  The game progress processing unit 112 determines whether or not the stamina value has decreased below a predetermined threshold value. If the stamina value has decreased to a threshold value or less, the game progress processing unit 112 changes the parameter of the character whose stamina value has decreased to be disadvantageous in the game. May be. For example, the game progress processing unit 112 may reduce the moving speed of a character whose stamina value has decreased below a predetermined threshold, slow down the ball speed when hitting the ball 340, or reduce control. Good. Further, for example, the game progress processing unit 112 may make a special shot or a shot of a specific ball type unusable for a character whose stamina value has decreased below a predetermined threshold.

  In this way, by limiting the performance and movement of the character in accordance with the decrease in stamina, the user can think about the timing to replace the operation character 310 with the record character, or minimize the decrease in stamina during the battle. You can make them think about turning around. Therefore, the strategy of the game can be enhanced and the interest can be improved. In addition, it is possible to motivate the user to familiarize the user with basic operations (movement, hitting ball, ball type selection, execution of special shots, etc.) of the operation character 310.

(Recover Stamina)
The game progress processing unit 112 may instruct the object control unit 115 to arrange (appear) the recovery object in the first area. The object control unit 115 may cause the recovery object to appear in the first area in accordance with the instruction. The recovery object is an object having an effect of recovering the stamina value of the character when the character object comes into contact.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the arrangement and use of recovery objects. The state (A) in FIG. 10 shows an example of the display screen of the touch screen 15 when the object control unit 115 places the recovery object 390 in the first area.

  The game progress processing unit 112 instructs the object control unit 115 to arrange the recovery object 390 at a predetermined timing during the battle. For example, the game progress processing unit 112 instructs the object control unit 115 to arrange the recovery object 390 at a random timing or a timing when a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the battle. At this time, the game progress processing unit 112 may specify the arrangement position of the recovery object 390 to the object control unit 115.

  Upon receiving the instruction, the object control unit 115 causes the recovery object 390 to appear in the first area. For example, the object control unit 115 causes the recovery object 390 to appear while moving as if the recovery object 390 was thrown from outside the tennis court 300. Note that the appearance position of the recovery object 390 may be determined randomly by the game progress processing unit 112 or the object control unit 115, or may be determined according to a predetermined condition such as the position of the operation character 310 or the opponent character 320. May be.

  The state (B) of FIG. 10 shows an example of a display screen immediately after the operation character 310 contacts the recovery object 390. As shown in the figure, after the recovery object 390 is placed in the game space, when the operation character 310 touches the recovery object 390, the game progress processing unit 112 recovers the stamina value of the operation character 310 indicated by the stamina gauge 311.

  When the game progress processing unit 112 recovers the stamina value of the operation character 310, the display control unit 116 updates the display of the stamina gauge 311 of the operation character 310 to indicate the recovered stamina value. Further, the display control unit 116 may output the stamina recovery amount in a manner that can be perceived by the user, such as a numerical value display, an effect display, and an audio output. For example, the display control unit 116 may display a numerical value indicating the amount of recovery of stamina at the foot of the operation character 310 as illustrated. As a result, the user can easily recognize that the stamina value of the operation character 310 has been recovered.

  Note that the game progress processing unit 112 may set the stamina recovery amount to a predetermined recovery amount or may determine the stamina recovery amount according to the maximum value or the current value of the stamina of the operation character 310. In addition, the game progress processing unit 112 may determine whether or not the recovery object 390 and the operation character 310 are in contact with each other, but the object control unit 115 may perform the determination.

In the above description, the recovery of the stamina value of the operation character 310 has been described as an example. However, the recovery object 390 may be placed on the court 302. Further, the game progress processing unit 112 may recover the stamina value of the opponent character 320 when the opponent character 320 contacts the recovery object 390. Further, the game progress processing unit 112 or the object control unit 115 determines whether the recovery object 390 is arranged on the court on the operation character 310 side or the court on the opponent character 320 side based on a random or predetermined condition. May be determined.
When the stamina value of the opponent character 320 is recovered, the display control unit 116 may update the display of the stamina gauge 321 of the opponent character 320, display a numerical value indicating the recovery amount of the stamina of the opponent character 320, and effect May be output in a manner that can be perceived by the user, such as display of sound and sound.

  Further, the game progress processing unit 112 may instruct the object control unit 115 of the arrangement position of the recovery object 390 together with an instruction to arrange the recovery object 390. Further, the game progress processing unit 112 may set a predetermined area including the arrangement position of the recovery object 390 as an area (recovery area) where the stamina value can be recovered. The game progress processing unit 112 monitors whether or not the operation character 310 (or the opponent character 320) is within the range of the recovery area, and if it is within the range, the stamina of the operation character 310 (or the opponent character 320) is monitored. The value may be restored.

(Flow of special shot activation)
The input operation reception unit 111 according to the present embodiment receives a specific input operation related to the activation of a special shot. In addition, when the game progress processing unit 112 according to the present embodiment determines that the operation character 310 has activated the special shot, the game progress processing unit 112 has a predetermined range corresponding to the type of the special shot in the second area, and the game Is set to a predetermined range (special effect range) in which the opponent character 320 is disadvantageous.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a flow of processing related to activation of a special shot. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen until a special shot is activated. The state (A) of FIG. 12 shows an example of a display screen when an input operation on the special shot button 360 can be accepted. The game progress processing unit 112 counts the number of times that the operation character 310 has made a successful hit. Then, the display control unit 116 updates the gauge indicated in a circle on the special shot button 360 according to the number of successful times. When the gauge is accumulated to the maximum (the shaded area of the special shot button 360), the input operation accepting unit 111 can accept an input operation on the special shot button 360, assuming that a predetermined condition is satisfied.

  When the user performs an input operation (for example, a tap operation) on the special shot button 360 in this state, the input operation reception unit 111 receives the input operation (step S10). The game progress processing unit 112 sets the operation character 310 to a state where the special shot is ready to be activated (the activation ready state).

  The state (B) of FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen when the operation character 310 is in a ready state for activation. The display control unit 116 causes the touch screen 15 to display an effect 400 indicating that the operation character 310 is in a ready state for activation. In addition, while the operation character 310 is in the activation preparation state, the display control unit 116 displays the display content such as the color or shape of the special shot button 360 and the illustrations and characters described in the button in the activation preparation state. You may change to the display which shows that it is.

  The state (C) of FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen when the operation character 310 in the activation preparation state has successfully hit the ball 340. The input operation accepting unit 111 accepts an input operation (specific input operation) for instructing a batting motion when the operation character 310 is in the ready state for activation (step S12), and the game progress processing unit 112 performs a hitting ball success / failure determination (step S12). Step S14).

  When the operation character 310 fails to hit the ball 340 (NO in step S14), the game progress processing unit 112 continues the activation preparation state. On the other hand, when the operation character 310 has successfully hit the ball 340 (YES in step S14), the game progress processing unit 112 determines that the special shot has been activated and controls the object to move the ball 340 to the second area. The unit 115 is instructed. In addition, the game progress processing unit 112 instructs the display control unit 116 to display various effects related to the activation of the special shot on the touch screen 15. In response to the instruction from the game progress processing unit 112, the object control unit 115 moves the ball 340 to the second area (step S16). Further, the display control unit 116 displays an effect 410 indicating that a special shot has been activated (a ball has been hit in the activation preparation state). Thereby, it can be clearly shown to the user whether or not the special shot has been successfully activated.

  Note that the display control unit 116 may update the display so that the gauge of the special shot button 360 is empty when the operation character 310 activates a special shot. Further, the input operation accepting unit 111 may not accept an input operation on the special shot button 360 until a predetermined condition is satisfied again. Further, when it is determined that the operation character 310 has activated the special shot, the game progress processing unit 112 may decrease the stamina value indicated by the stamina gauge 311. Further, the display control unit 116 may display the amount of decrease in stamina at the bottom of the gauge.

  The game progress processing unit 112 sets a special effect range in the second area at a predetermined timing after determining that the special shot has been activated until the movement of the ball related to the shot (step S16) is completed. (Step S18).

  In this way, when the operation character 310 hits a special shot, a predetermined range in which an effect that the opponent character 320 is disadvantageous is set. That is, the game system 1 according to the present embodiment can allow the user to control the advantages and disadvantages of the game by providing an element called a special shot. Therefore, the interest of the game can be improved.

  Note that the size of the special effect range set by the game progress processing unit 112 may be determined according to the type of special shot, or may be determined regardless of the type of special shot. Further, the size of the special effect range when the same special shot is activated may be always constant or may vary depending on various conditions when the special shot is activated. For example, the game progress processing unit 112 may determine the size of the special effect range at random, or may determine according to the progress of the game when the special shot is activated.

  The object control unit 115 may arrange an object indicating the special effect range in the second area. For example, the object control unit 115 arranges an object on a plane having the same size as the special effect range so as to overlap the special effect range. This allows the user of the operation character 310 and the opponent character 320 to recognize the special effect range generated by the special shot. Note that it is desirable that the object indicating the special effect range has a color, a pattern, a character, an illustration, or the like that allows the user to identify the effect brought about by the special effect range.

  The special shot may be activated when the operation character 310 hits a serve. For example, the input operation accepting unit 111 may accept an input operation of tapping the special shot button 360 in a scene where the position of the serve of the operation character 310 is adjusted (situation like the state (A) in FIG. 5). Further, the game progress processing unit 112 is different from a normal serve (a serve that can be hit when not in the activation preparation state) as a special shot for the operation character 310 when the operation character 310 has successfully served in the activation preparation state. It is also possible to make a serve.

(Special effect range setting and effect provision)
For example, the game progress processing unit 112 may set the special effect range based on the position where the ball 340 has bounced (grounded) in the second region. FIG. 13 shows an example of the display screen after the operation character 310 activates a special shot.

  State (A) in FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the trajectory of the ball 340 after the special shot is activated and the special effect range. The object control unit 115 moves the ball 340 to the second area in response to an instruction from the game progress processing unit 112. As illustrated, the object control unit 115 moves the ball 340 so as to bounce within the second region.

  The object control unit 115 specifies the bounce position of the ball 340 during the process of step S16. The object control unit 115 notifies the game progress processing unit 112 of the bounce position of the ball 340. The game progress processing unit 112 sets the special effect range 420 based on the bound position. For example, as illustrated, the game progress processing unit 112 sets a range of a predetermined size centered on the bounce position as the special effect range 420.

  The state (B) of FIG. 13 shows an example of a display screen when the opponent character 320 enters the special effect range 420. The object control unit 115 notifies the game progress processing unit 112 of the position of the opponent character 320 as needed. If the game progress processing unit 112 determines that the position of the opponent character 320 is included in the special effect range 420, the game progress processing unit 112 gives the opponent character 320 an effect that makes the opponent character 320 disadvantageous in the game. The “effect that the opponent character 320 is disadvantageous in the game” is an effect that limits the movement of the opponent character 320, for example. In this case, if the game progress processing unit 112 determines that the opponent character 320 has entered the special effect range 420, the object control unit 115 may cause the opponent character 320 to perform a specific action. For example, the specific operation includes an operation of overturning or slipping. Alternatively, the game progress processing unit 112 may change the value of the parameter indicating the movement speed of the opponent character 320 so that the performance of the opponent character 320 in the battle is deteriorated. Specifically, the movement speed of the opponent character 320 may be slowed or extremely fast.

  The “effect that the opponent character 320 is disadvantageous in the game” is, for example, an effect of changing the parameter of the opponent character 320 so that the opponent character 320 is disadvantageous. In this case, when the game progress processing unit 112 determines that the opponent character 320 has entered the special effect range 420, the value of the parameter indicating the stamina of the opponent character 320, the size of the hit ball area, the moving speed, the ball speed at the time of hitting, and the like. May be changed so that the performance of the opponent character 320 in the battle is lowered. More specifically, when determining that the opponent character 320 has entered the special effect range 420, the game progress processing unit 112 may decrease the physical strength value of the opponent character 320.

  Further, the game progress processing unit 112 may invalidate an effect that the opponent character 320 is advantageous as an effect that the opponent character 320 is disadvantageous in the game. In this case, the period of invalidation of the advantageous effect may be permanent or may be a predetermined period.

  In addition, the game progress processing unit 112 may change the above-described effect according to the degree of good positional relationship between the operation character 310 and the ball 340 when the operation character 310 hits the ball 340 with a special shot. For example, the game progress processing unit 112 may produce a stronger effect when the good degree of the positional relationship between the operation character 310 and the ball 340 is the best than when it is not. Alternatively, the game progress processing unit 112 may change the probability that the specific effect of the special shot occurs according to the good degree of the positional relationship between the operation character 310 and the ball 340.

  When the game progress processing unit 112 gives any effect to the opponent character 320, the display control unit 116 causes the touch screen 15 to display the effect 430 corresponding to the effect. For example, according to the type of special shot, the display control unit 116 is burning the opponent character 320 (for example, a state in which the parameter indicating the physical strength value is gradually decreasing), or is frozen (for example, the character Touched effects that indicate that you are unable to move), you are electrocuted (for example, the character's hitting area is shrinking), you are fainted, poisoned, or your view is obstructed It may be displayed on the screen 15. Note that the effect 430 may be continuously displayed while the effect is continued. Thereby, the user can easily recognize that the special shot effect is given to the opponent character 320. Moreover, since the production during the battle can be made more gorgeous, the battle can be enlivened and the fun of the game can be further improved.

  The game progress processing unit 112 may set the special effect range without depending on the bounce position of the ball 340. For example, the game progress processing unit 112 may set the special effect range at a specific position or a randomly changing position in the second area.

  Note that the opponent character 320 may be usable for the special shot described above. In this case, the game progress processing unit 112 may enable a special shot to be activated when the opponent character 320 also satisfies the predetermined condition described above, similarly to the operation character 310. Further, in this case, when it is determined that the opponent character 320 has entered the special effect range 420, the game progress processing unit 112 may decrease the gauge for the special shot activation set for the opponent character 320.

[Embodiment 2]
After setting the special effect range, the game progress processing unit 112 may determine whether the ball 340 enters the special effect range instead of the opponent character 320. Further, the object control unit 115 may change the moving direction of the ball 340 when the game progress processing unit 112 determines that the ball 340 has entered the special effect range. Note that the moving direction after the change may be a random direction or a direction that is impossible during normal return.

  FIG. 14 shows another example of the display screen after the operation character 310 activates the special shot. State (A) in FIG. 14 is a diagram showing the trajectory of the ball 340 after the special shot is activated and the special effect range. Also in this embodiment, the special effect range 450 is set at the bounce position of the ball, as in the state (A) of FIG. 13 of the first embodiment. The state (B) of FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a trajectory of the ball 340 when the ball 340 enters the special effect range after the special effect range is set by the game progress processing unit 112. The game progress processing unit 112 determines whether or not the bounce position of the ball 340 obtained from the object control unit 115 is included in the special effect range 420. If included, the game progress processing unit 112 changes the movement direction (trajectory) of the ball 340 from the normal trajectory trajectory to the object control unit 115. For example, the object control unit 115 bounces the ball 340 in a direction parallel to the net 303 regardless of the course at the time of hitting, as illustrated.

  As a result, the opponent character 320 follows the ball 340 flying in the changed moving direction, and a gap is created in the opponent character 320 in the battle. Therefore, the opponent character 320 becomes disadvantageous in the battle. As described above, the game system 1 according to the present embodiment can improve the interest and strategy of the game by providing a special shot, which has a great influence on the progress of the game.

[Embodiment 3]
When the opponent character 320 returns a special shot of the operation character 310, the game progress processing unit 112 may change the performance of the opponent character 320 so that the opponent character 320 is disadvantaged in the battle. The change in the performance of the opponent character 320 may be continued during the game, or may be returned to the original for a specific time in the game, such as 1 point, 1 game, or a predetermined time.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the flow of processing relating to the activation of special shots and the application of effects. In addition, since S20-26 of FIG. 15 is the process similar to S10-16 of FIG. 11, description is not repeated.

  FIG. 16 shows an example of a display screen when the opponent character 320 returns a special shot. The state (A) of FIG. 16 shows an example of a display screen immediately after the opponent character 320 returns a special shot of the operation character 310. The game progress processing unit 112 determines whether or not the opponent character 320 has returned a special shot (step S28 in FIG. 15). When the opponent character 320 returns a special shot, the display control unit 116 causes the touch screen 15 to display an effect 470 indicating that the special shot has been returned.

  The state (B) in FIG. 16 shows an example of a display screen after the state (A) in FIG. If it is determined that the opponent character 320 has returned the special shot (YES in step S28 in FIG. 15), the game progress processing unit 112 changes the performance of the opponent character 320 or changes the performance of the opponent character 320. An instruction is sent to each unit of the control unit 110 (step S30 in FIG. 15). For example, the game progress processing unit 112 changes a predetermined type of parameter among the parameters of the opponent character 320. For example, the game progress processing unit 112 decreases the physical strength value of the opponent character 320. In addition, for example, the game progress processing unit 112 has a state in which a predetermined type of parameters among the parameters of the opponent character 320 continues to change (for example, the parameter indicating the strength value of the opponent character 320 decreases with time). Or the like. Further, for example, the game progress processing unit 112 may change a predetermined type of parameter while knocking back the opponent character 320 that has returned the special shot to the back of the court. If the opponent character 320 does not return the ball 340 (NO in step S28 of FIG. 15), the game progress processing unit 112 does not perform the process of step S30.

  In this way, when the special shot is returned, the performance of the opponent character 320 changes so that the opponent character 320 becomes disadvantageous. Further, when the opponent character 320 does not return a special shot in order to avoid a change in performance, the user can take 1 point. That is, the user can make the operation character 310 advantageous and make the opponent character 320 disadvantageous in the battle by causing the operation character 310 to make a special shot. As described above, the game system 1 according to the present embodiment can improve the interest and strategy of the game by providing a special shot, which has a great influence on the progress of the game.

  When the game progress processing unit 112 gives any effect to the opponent character 320, the display control unit 116 causes the touch screen 15 to display an effect 470 corresponding to the effect. For example, the display control unit 116 determines whether the opponent character 320 is burning, frozen, electric shock, stunned, poisoned, or has a field of view depending on the type of special shot. An effect indicating that it is blocked may be displayed on the touch screen 15. Note that the effect 470 may be continuously displayed while the effect is continued. Thereby, the user can easily recognize that the special shot effect is given to the opponent character 320. Moreover, since the production during the battle can be made more gorgeous, the battle can be enlivened and the fun of the game can be further improved.

[Embodiment 4]
When the opponent character 320 returns the ball 340 struck into the second area by the special shot, the game progress processing unit 112 may restrict a specific action of the opponent character 320 after returning. For example, the game progress processing unit 112 disables the special shot of the opponent character 320, disables stamina recovery by the recovery object 390 of the opponent character 320, etc., or gives the opponent character 320 a specific ball type (volley, You may make it not hit a drop etc.). In addition, such a restriction | limiting of an operation | movement may be continued during a game, and may be cancelled | released in the specific period in games, such as 1 point and 1 game, or predetermined time.

  Thereby, the action pattern which the other character 320 can perform during a game will decrease. In addition, when the opponent character 320 does not return a special shot in order to avoid restriction of movement, the user can take 1 point. That is, the operation character 310 operated by the user in the battle is advantageous, and the opponent character 320 is disadvantageous. As described above, the game system 1 according to the present embodiment can improve the interest and strategy of the game by providing a special shot, which has a great influence on the progress of the game.

[Embodiment 5]
In the first and second embodiments, the game progress processing unit 112 shows still another example of the display screen after the operation character 310 activates a special shot. Since state (A) in FIG. 18 is the same as state (C) in FIG. 12, description thereof will not be repeated.

  The state (B) of FIG. 18 shows an example of a display screen when the operation character 310 activates a special shot. When the operation character 310 activates a special shot, the game progress processing unit 112 sets an advantageous range 500 of a position and a size according to the special shot.

  Here, the advantageous range indicates a predetermined range in which an effect that the operation character 310 is advantageous in the game is generated. When the operation character 310 enters the advantageous range 500, the game progress processing unit 112 gives the advantageous effect described above. The game progress processing unit 112 may set the advantageous range 500 at a position corresponding to the position where the operation character 310 has activated the special shot. Further, the game progress processing unit 112 may set the advantageous range 500 at a specific position or a random position on the court 301.

  The “effect in which the operation character 310 is advantageous in the game” is, for example, an effect of changing the parameter of the operation character 310 so that the operation character 310 is advantageous. In this case, when it is determined that the operation character 310 has entered the advantageous range 500, the game progress processing unit 112 sets parameter values indicating the stamina of the operation character 310, the size of the hitting ball area, the moving speed, the ball speed at the time of hitting, and the like. What is necessary is just to change so that the performance of the operation character 310 in a battle | competition may raise. More specifically, when determining that the operation character 310 has entered the advantageous range 500, the game progress processing unit 112 may recover the physical strength value of the operation character 310. Further, the game progress processing unit 112 may gradually increase the gauge of the special shot button 360 while the operation character 310 is in the advantageous range 500.

  Further, the game progress processing unit 112 may invalidate the effect that the operation character 310 is disadvantageous as an effect that the operation character 310 is advantageous in the game. In this case, the invalidation period may be permanent or a predetermined period.

  For example, when the operation character 310 activates a special shot, the game progress processing unit 112 may invalidate the effects such as electric shock and combustion given to the operation character. In addition, the game progress processing unit 112 sets a predetermined range (hereinafter referred to as disadvantageous) that is provided on the court 301 and has an adverse effect on the operational character 310 for a predetermined period of time when the operation character 310 activates the special shot. Even if the operation character 310 enters the range), the effect may not be given. That is, the game progress processing unit 112 may make the operation character 310 invalid for a predetermined period. The predetermined period may be determined in terms of time, or may be determined based on the progress of the game, such as the number of hits.

  Further, the display control unit 116 may cause the touch screen 15 to display a predetermined effect on the operation character 310 and the vicinity thereof while the effect is invalid. Alternatively, the display control unit 116 may change the appearance of the operation character 310 and display it on the touch screen 15 while the effect is invalid. For example, the display control unit 116 may cause the touch screen 15 to display an operation character 310 riding on an animal or a vehicle, or an operation character 310 equipped with unusual equipment such as shoes. Thereby, even if a user enters into a disadvantageous range, the period which can invalidate an effect can be recognized easily.

  In addition, when the game progress processing unit 112 gives any effect to the operation character 310, the display control unit 116 may display an effect corresponding to the effect on the touch screen 15. For example, the display control unit 116 may cause the touch screen 15 to display the effect that the operation character 310 shines according to the type of special shot. Note that the effect may be continuously displayed while the effect is continuing. Thereby, the user can easily recognize that the special shot effect is given to the operation character 310. Moreover, since the production during the battle can be made more gorgeous, the battle can be enlivened and the fun of the game can be further improved.

  The advantageous range 500 may be set together with the special effect range 420 described in the first embodiment. In other words, when the operation character 310 activates a special shot, the game progress processing unit 112 may set both the special effect range 420 and the advantageous range 500. The state (C) of FIG. 18 shows an example of a display screen when the advantageous range 500 and the special effect range 420 are set together. Thereby, the game development of the operation character 310 that has activated the special shot can be made more advantageous. Therefore, it is possible to make the user think about carrying the game with a special shot, so that the strategy of the game can be further increased and the interest can be further improved.

[Embodiment 6]
In the above embodiments, the opponent character 320 may be an NPC (non player character), or a user terminal (second user) operated by a user (second user) different from the user (first user) who operates the operation character 310 ( The character may be a character that operates based on the input operation of the second user input at the other terminal. In other words, the tennis game described in each of the above embodiments may be a CPU game or an interpersonal game.

  Hereinafter, in this embodiment, an example of processing in a case where the opponent character 320 is a character that moves based on an input operation of the second user will be described.

  In the present embodiment, when the input operation accepting unit 111 accepts an input operation for causing the operation character 310 to hit a special shot, the game progress processing unit 112 causes the special character to be placed on the other terminal via the communication I / F 13. You may transmit the information which shows having activated. The information includes, for example, information indicating a visual effect corresponding to the special shot. Then, the other terminal that has received the information may display the visual effect indicated by the received information on the display surface of the terminal (specifically, the touch screen of the other terminal).

  The states (A) and (B) of FIG. 19 show yet another example of the display screen after the operation character 310 activates a special shot. Since state (A) in FIG. 19 is the same as state (C) in FIG. 12, description thereof will not be repeated. The state (B) of FIG. 19 shows an example of a display screen on the touch screen 15 of another terminal when the operation character 310 hits a special shot as shown in the state (A) of FIG. In the following description, for convenience, various members of other terminals will be described using the same member numbers as those of the user terminal 100.

  In the other terminal, for example, the virtual camera is arranged at a position and an angle at which the opponent character 320 appears in the approximate center and the operation character 310 appears. As a result, on the touch screen 15 of the other terminal, as shown in the state (B) of FIG. 19, the tennis court 300 on which the opponent character 320 and the operation character 310 are arranged is displayed with the court 302 as the front side. Note that a special shot button 511 similar to the special shot button 360 and a ball type selection button 512 similar to the ball type selection button 370 may be displayed on the touch screen 15 of another terminal. Further, the hitting area 510 of the opponent character 320 may be displayed on the touch screen 15 of the other terminal.

  Further, on the touch screen 15 of the other terminal, a visual effect corresponding to the special shot of the operation character 310 is displayed based on the information indicating the visual effect. Examples of the visual effect include a visual effect that makes it difficult to see at least one of the court 301 and the operation character 310. In the example of state (B) in FIG. 19, the object control unit 115 of the other terminal arranges a mirror object 513 that reflects and reflects the court 302 in the vicinity of the boundary between the court 301 and the court 302, that is, in the vicinity of the net 303. To do. As a result, the mirror 513 is displayed on the touch screen 15 of the other terminal. The mirror 513 may display the appearance 320A of the opponent character 320 and its movement in a mirrored manner. Further, the mirror 513 may display the ball 340 and its movement in a mirrored manner. Further, the mapping of the mirror 513 may be displayed translucently or may be displayed opaquely. By making the display translucent, the court 301 and the operation character 310 behind the mirror 513 can be seen to some extent by the second user, so that the game progress of the second user is not excessively disadvantageous. it can. Further, by making the display opaque, it is possible to make the game progress of the second user extremely disadvantageous.

  When the operation character 310 hits a special shot, it is difficult for the second user to visually recognize the operation character 310 and the court 301 during the battle. As described above, the game system 1 according to the present embodiment can increase the strategy of the game and improve the interest by providing a special shot, which is an element that greatly affects the progress of the game.

  When the opponent character 320 returns a special shot, the game progress processing unit 112 may display an effect corresponding to the special shot on another terminal. In this case, the game progress processing unit 112 may transmit an instruction to display the effect to another user terminal 100 via the server 200. And the display control part 116 of the other user terminal 100 should just display the said effect on the touch screen 15 of the other user terminal 100. FIG. Examples of the effect include an effect that blocks the opponent character 320's field of view.

  This makes it difficult for the user who is operating the opponent character 320 during the battle. As described above, the game system 1 according to the present embodiment can improve the interest and strategy of the game by providing a special shot, which has a great influence on the progress of the game.

[Embodiment 7]
In each of the above-described embodiments, the game progress processing unit 112 may activate different types of special shots according to the user's input operation when activating the special shots. In other words, the game progress processing unit 112 changes the effect that the opponent character 320 is disadvantageous in the game and the effect that the operation character 310 is advantageous in the game according to the input operation of the user when the special shot is activated. Also good. In addition, the game progress processing unit 112 changes the performance of at least one of the operation character 310 and the opponent character 320 so that the opponent character is disadvantaged in the game in accordance with a user input operation when the special shot is activated. The effect may be different.

  More specifically, for example, the game progress processing unit 112 increases the parameter of the operation character 310 when the input operation receiving unit 111 receives a flick operation toward the upper side of the display surface as an input operation for activating a special shot. A special shot to be activated may be activated. Then, the game progress processing unit 112 sets the special effect range 420 on the court 302 when the input operation receiving unit 111 receives a flick operation toward the lower side of the display surface as an input operation for activating a special shot. Good. The input operation for activating the special shot is not limited to this example. For example, the special shot may be used properly by left and right flicks, or the special shot may be used properly by a normal touch operation and a long touch operation. Thereby, the breadth of the strategy of the game including the special shot is further expanded, and the fun of the game is improved.

  FIG. 20 is a diagram showing a modification of the special shot button 360 and the ball type selection button 370 shown in the state (A) of FIG. As illustrated, the display control unit 116 may indicate the type of input operation that can be input as an input operation for activating a special shot with the special shot button 360. In the example of FIG. 20, the special shot button 520 is divided into upper and lower parts, and different words are described respectively. Thus, the user can intuitively understand what kind of operation can be performed to special shots. As shown in the figure, the ball type selection button 521 may also be shown so that at least one of the selectable ball types and the type of input operation thereof can be discriminated.

[Embodiment 8]
In each of the above embodiments, when the operation character 310 activates the special shot, the game progress processing unit 112 causes the ball 340 moving toward the court 301 to hit the opponent character 320 with the special shot. It may be determined whether or not the ball 340 (given a special action), and a different effect may be given to at least one of the operation character 310 and the opponent character 320 according to the determination result. More specifically, the game progress processing unit 112 determines whether the special shot of the operation character 310 is an effect or special that is given depending on whether or not the counter character hits the special shot of the opponent character 320. The shot type itself may be changed. For example, it is desirable that the special shot effect when returning the ball with the counter is a stronger effect than when the counter is not the counter.
