On the other hand, user information of a certain user and user information of another user who is a friend of the user are associated with each other in the user management table 300 of the game server 200.

  In the user management table 300 of the user terminal 100 owned by a certain user, the user ID of the certain user and the user IDs of other users who are friends of the user are stored in association with each other. For example, when the user A follows the user B, the user management table 300 of the user terminal 100 owned by the user A associates the user ID of the user A with the user ID of the user B who is a friend of the user A. Is stored. Similarly, when the user B follows the user A, in the user management table 300 of the user terminal 100 possessed by the user B, the user ID of the user B and the user ID of the user A who is a friend of the user B mutually It is stored in association with it. The state in which two users follow each other is particularly called mutual follow.

  In the game system 1, at least a part of the functions of the user terminal 100 may be configured to be included in the game server 200. Further, at least a part of the functions provided to the game server 200 may be configured to be provided to the user terminal 100. That is, the computer on which the game program in this embodiment is executed may be arbitrarily selected from an information processing apparatus including the above-described user terminal 100 and game server 200.

(Progress of town development game)
FIG. 8 is an example of a flowchart showing the flow of processing executed by the game system 1. Below, the user A possesses the 1st user terminal 100-1 of the same structure as the user terminal 100, and demonstrates the example which plays a town-building game using this terminal.

  FIG. 9 is a view schematically showing an example of the game space G1 associated with the user A. As shown in FIG. In the example shown in this figure, the road R is disposed in the game space G1. Road R is a type of architectural object. Although details will be described later, power can be shared from the lifeline to the building object via the road R.

  The user A long-presses and selects a desired building object SO from among a plurality of building objects SO included in the shop S displayed on the first user terminal 100-1. Next, the selected object SO is dragged to a predetermined position on the plane PL1 in the game space G1. In step S101, the action accepting unit 111 detects an action of the user A on the input unit 151. In step S102, the action receiving unit 111 receives the action by the detected user A as an object arrangement request for arranging the building object in the game space.

  In step S103, the display control unit 115 arranges the building BO under construction on the plane PL1 based on the object arrangement request. In the example of FIG. 9, five different buildings under construction BO are arranged in the game space G1. In step S104, the transmitting and receiving unit 117 transmits, to the game server 200, game space information indicating that the building BO is being arranged in the game space G1.

  In step S201, the transmission / reception unit 211 receives game space information. In step S202, the data management unit 213 updates the user information (user management table 300) based on the received game space information.

  In step S105, the timer unit 113 starts measurement of an elapsed time from the time when the building BO under construction is disposed in the game space G1. In step S106, the timer unit 113 determines whether or not the elapsed time of each building BO has elapsed. If YES in step S106, in step S107, the action receiving unit 111 determines whether a user action (for example, a tap operation) on the building BO during construction has been received. In the case of YES in step S107, in step S108, the display control unit 115 changes each in-building building BO to the corresponding completed buildings O1 to O5.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the game space G1 in which the built buildings O1 to O5 are arranged. In the example of this figure, as the completed buildings O1 to O5, an apartment O1, a park O2, a power plant O3, a store O4, and a fire department O5 are disposed in the game space G1.

  The apartment O1 holds a population calculated based on a predetermined rule. Park O2 has passive skills that increase the population of built buildings located within its coverage area. The power plant O3 is a kind of lifeline, and supplies power to other built buildings connected to the power plant O3 through the road R. In addition, the power plant O3 has passive skills to reduce the population of the built buildings disposed within the effective range. Population P of apartment O1 increases and decreases under the influence of these passive skills. Store O4 has passive skills to produce coins. Fire department O5 has the active skill which solves the fire which occurred in other buildings.

  In the case of NO at either step S106 or step S107, that is, when the elapsed time of the building under construction has not elapsed, or when the user's action on the building under construction BO is not accepted, the processing shown in FIG. Continue looping step S107.

  In step S109, the terminal determination unit 114 determines whether power is supplied from the lifeline to each of the already-built buildings. In the case of YES in step S109, in step S110, the terminal processing unit 112 operates each of the already-built buildings to which the power supply is required. In the example shown in FIG. 10, since the power plant O3 is disposed adjacent to the road R, power is supplied from the power plant O3 to the apartment O1, the store O4, and the fire department O5 adjacent to the road R. . As a result, the apartment O1, the store O4, and the fire station O5 are operated by the supplied power. Park O2 is a building that does not require power, so it operates even if it is not adjacent to Road R.

  Although not shown, after a certain period of time has passed since the construction has been operated, the construction becomes ready to activate the active skills defined for the construction. At this time, when the action receiving unit 111 receives the action of the user A on the built building, an active skill in the built building is activated. As a result, a predetermined game point is given to the user A, the state of the building being arranged in the game space G1 changes, or the production amount of items in the building is increased. A benefit is provided to user A.

  In step S110, when the terminal processing unit 112 operates the built building, the timer unit 113 starts measuring the elapsed time of each built building. In step S111, the reward calculation unit 116 calculates the population P associated with each of the already-built buildings arranged in the game space G1, and gives it to the user as a game point.

  In step S112, the transmitting and receiving unit 117 transmits, to the game server 200, update information including information indicating that the building in progress has been converted to a built building and information on the population P given to the user. In step S203, the transmitting and receiving unit 211 of the game server 200 receives the transmitted update information. In step S204, the data management unit 213 updates the user information (user management table 300) of the user A based on the received update information.

  The already-built building may be converted into a building again during construction. For example, by increasing or upgrading a built-up building, the possession population and / or coin production may be increased. In this case, the display control unit 115 changes the already-built building into a building being built again, while the timer unit 113 starts measuring the elapsed time again (similar to step S105). Next, the action receiving unit 111 receives a user action on the built building after the construction time (extension time) required for extension or upgrading of the built building has elapsed (similar to steps S106 to S107). Through the above-described processing, the display control unit 115 may change the building under construction into a built-up building after extension or upgrading (similar to step S108). The above-described steps S109 to S112 and steps S203 to S204 can be applied to the game point updating process thereafter.

(Change in population P)
FIG. 11 is an example of a flowchart illustrating the flow of processing for increasing and decreasing the population P of the apartment O1. In step S113, the display control unit 115 changes the building under construction into an already-built building. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 10, the display control unit 115 arranges the apartment O1, the park O2, the power station O3, the store O4, and the fire department O5 as a built building on the plane PL1 of the game space G1.

  In step S114, the reward calculation unit 116 specifies the possessable population of the apartment O1 by referring to the object management table 301. In step S115, the reward calculation unit 116 refers to the object management table 301 to specify an initial population in which the condominium O1 can be owned by the condominium O1 being disposed on the plane PL1.

  In step S116, the terminal determination unit 114 determines whether the apartment O1 belongs to the valid range of another built building. In the example of FIG. 10, the terminal determination unit 114 determines that the apartment O1 belongs to the effective range E1 of the park O2 and the effective range E2 of the power plant O3. The terminal determination unit 114 notifies the reward calculation unit 116 of the determination result.

  In step S117, the reward calculation unit 116 specifies the content of the passive skills of the park O2 and the power plant O3 by referring to the passive skill management table based on the notified determination result. In step S118, the reward calculation unit 116 calculates the owned population of the apartment O1 affected by each passive skill. Specifically, the population increase due to the passive skill of the park O2 is added to the initial population of the apartment O1, and furthermore, the population decrease due to the passive skill of the power plant O3 is subtracted from the population after the addition.

  In step S119, the reward calculation unit 116 gives the calculated population P of the apartment O1 to the user A as a game point. In step S119, the transmitting and receiving unit 117 transmits, to the game server 200, update information including information on the population P given to the user A. In step S205, the transmission / reception unit 211 receives the update information. In step S206, the data management unit 213 updates the user information (user management table 300) of the user A based on the received update information.

(Competitive game)
FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a game space G corresponding to a battle-type city-building game. The game system 1 can cause the user A to play a battle type city development game. A battle-type city-building game is described as a battle game as needed. In the competition game, the user A and a non-player character (NPC) controlled by the game program compete by constructing their cities in the same game space G.

  In the competition game, various conditions regarding the competition game are defined in advance. The various conditions include, for example, termination conditions, victory conditions, and defeat conditions. The end condition is a condition for the game system 1 to end the competition game. The end condition is, for example, that a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the battle game. The termination condition is, for example, that the user A satisfies the victory condition or the defeat condition before a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the battle game.

  The victory condition is a condition for the user A to win the NPC in the competition game. The winning condition is, for example, that the user A gives a specific action (for example, acquisition) to a specific building object (for example, a head office) held by the NPC during the competition game. The defeat condition is a condition for the user A to defeat the NPC. The defeat condition is, for example, that the NPC gives a specific action (for example, acquisition) to a specific building object (for example, the head office) held by the user A during the competition game.

  The game system 1 provides the user A with a plurality of different stages for playing a battle game. Each stage corresponds to a specific game space G and a specific NPC. The attributes of the corresponding game space G may be different for each stage. The attributes of the game space G include, for example, the size of the game space G, and the type and number of objects previously arranged in the game space G. The corresponding NPC may be different for each stage.

  The user A selects one of a plurality of stages. The game system 1 constructs a game space G corresponding to the selected stage, and associates the user A with the game space G. The user A plays a match against the NPC corresponding to the selected stage in the associated game space G.

  In the game space G corresponding to each stage, information about each object arranged at the time of construction of the game space G is defined in advance. The information on the object includes at least the position in the game space G where the object is arranged.

  In the present embodiment, in the game space G corresponding to the first stage, a position (first position) corresponding to the head office H1 (first object) and a position (first position) corresponding to the head office H2 (first object) And are pre-defined. The game space G corresponding to the first stage is referred to as a game space G11 as necessary. In the game space G11, a plurality of positions corresponding to a plurality of trees T1 to T6 (a plurality of objects) grouped in advance are further defined in advance. The plurality of trees T1 to T6 include trees T2 to T6 (second objects) to which items are not associated, and trees T1 (third objects) to which items are previously associated. Tree T1 has different attributes than trees T2-T6 in that the item is pre-associated with tree T1.

(Stage management table)
FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of the stage management table 302 corresponding to the first stage of the battle game. The stage management table 302 manages information on each object arranged in advance in the game space G11 when the game space G11 is constructed. The stage management table 302 is stored in the storage unit 220 of the game server 200 and / or the storage unit 120 of the user terminal 100. As shown in FIG. 13, in the stage management table 302, a group ID, an object ID, an item ID, and an arrangement position are stored in association with each other as information related to an object.

  The object ID is an identifier for uniquely identifying each object. In the stage management table 302, “H1” to “H2” and “T1” to “T6” are stored as object IDs. "H1" and "H2" correspond to headquarters H1 and H2, respectively. “T1” to “T6” correspond to trees T1 to T6, respectively.

  The group ID is an identifier that uniquely identifies each group to which an object belongs. The group ID of the headquarters H1 and H2 is "none". Since “none” does not correspond to any group, the headquarters H1 and H2 are not grouped in advance. The group ID of the trees T1 to T6 is "1". Since “1” corresponds to the first group, the trees T1 to T6 belong to the first group. The trees T1 to T6 are grouped in advance.

  The item ID is an identifier that uniquely identifies each item previously associated with the object. In the stage management table 302, the item IDs of the head offices H1 and H2 are "none". "None" does not correspond to any item. Therefore, no item is associated in advance with the head office H1 and H2. The item ID of the tree T1 is "N1". “N1” corresponds to the ring N1. Therefore, the ring N1 is associated in advance with the tree T1. Since the item IDs of the trees T2 to T5 are "none", no items are associated with the trees T2 to T5 in advance.

  The ring N1 is a type of item that the user A can use while playing the competitive game. The ring N1 has the ability to make the user A advance the match game more advantageously. The ability of the ring N1 is, for example, to level up a particular building object placed in the city of the user A.

  The arrangement position is a position corresponding to the object. The arrangement position is also a position where an object is arranged in the game space G11 when the game space G11 is constructed. In the stage management table 302, the arrangement positions of the headquarters H1 and H2 are “X1 / Y1” and “X7 / Y8”, respectively. The arrangement positions of the trees T1 to T6 are “X2 / Y5”, “X4 / Y3”, “X4 / Y8”, “X5 / Y6”, “X6 / Y1”, and “X7 / Y5”, respectively.

(Construction of game space G11)
FIG. 14 is an example of a flowchart showing a flow of processing for constructing the game space G11, which is executed by the first user terminal 100-1. In step S121, the terminal processing unit 112 specifies the stage management table 302 corresponding to the first stage selected by the user A. The terminal processing unit 112 refers to the identified stage management table 302, and identifies each group ID corresponding to each object.

  The terminal processing unit 112 specifies that the head office H1 is not grouped based on the fact that the group ID corresponding to the head office H1 is "none". The terminal processing unit 112 does not change the arrangement position corresponding to the head office H1 stored in the stage management table 302 from “X1 / Y1”. The terminal processing unit 112 specifies that the head office H1 is not grouped based on the fact that the group ID corresponding to the head office H2 is "none". The terminal processing unit 112 does not change the arrangement position corresponding to the head office H1 stored in the stage management table 302 from “X7 / Y8”.

(Replacement of placement position)
The terminal processing unit 112 specifies that the trees T1 to T6 are grouped based on the fact that all group IDs corresponding to the trees T1 to T6 are "1". In step S122, the terminal processing unit 112 randomly changes the plurality of arrangement positions corresponding to the trees T1 to T6 stored in the stage management table 302 based on the specification result.

  For example, the terminal processing unit 112 randomly selects two arrangement positions from six arrangement positions corresponding to the trees T1 to T6, and replaces the selected two arrangement positions with each other. The terminal processing unit 112 repeatedly executes this replacement process a prescribed number of times. As a result of the replacement process, in the stage management table 302, the arrangement positions corresponding to the trees T1 to T6 are randomly replaced. It is also possible that the placement position corresponding to a certain tree is replaced with the placement position of another tree and then returned to the original placement position by repeatedly executing this replacement process.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of the stage management table 302 in which arrangement positions corresponding to the trees T1 to T6 are randomly switched. After the replacement process is completed, the stage management table 302 illustrated in FIG. 13 is updated to, for example, the stage management table 302 illustrated in FIG.

(Placement of objects)
FIG. 16 is a diagram showing the game space G11. The display control unit 115 arranges each object in the game space G11, for example, as shown in FIG. 16 based on the stage management table 302.

  The display control unit 115 specifies the arrangement position corresponding to the head office H1 by referring to the stage management table 302. In step S123, the display control unit 115 arranges the head office H1 of the user A at an arrangement position corresponding to the head office H1 in the game space G11. Specifically, the display control unit 115 arranges the head office H1 on the lattice corresponding to “X1 / Y1” in the plane PL. The head office H1 occupies two grids aligned in the lateral direction (X direction) of the plane PL.

  The display control unit 115 specifies the arrangement position corresponding to the head office H2 by referring to the stage management table 302. In step S124, the display control unit 115 arranges the head office H2 of the NPC at an arrangement position corresponding to the head office H2 in the game space G11. Specifically, the display control unit 115 arranges the head office H2 on the grid corresponding to "X7 / Y8" in the plane PL. The head office H2 is arranged to occupy two grids aligned in the X direction of the plane PL.

  The display control unit 115 specifies the post-replacement arrangement position corresponding to the tree T1 by referring to the stage management table 302. In step S125, the display control unit 115 arranges the tree T1 to which the ring N1 is associated in the post-replacement arrangement position corresponding to the tree T1 in the game space G. Specifically, the display control unit 115 arranges the tree T1 on the lattice corresponding to “X4 / Y3” in the plane PL. The tree T1 is arranged to occupy one grid in the plane PL.

  The display control unit 115 specifies each replaced arrangement position corresponding to the trees T2 to T6 by referring to the stage management table 302. In step S126, the display control unit 115 arranges the trees T2 to T6 to which the ring N1 is not associated at the respective arrangement positions after replacement corresponding to the trees T2 to T6 in the game space G11. Specifically, the display control unit 115 arranges the tree T2 on the lattice corresponding to “X2 / Y5” in the plane PL. The display control unit 115 arranges the tree T3 on the lattice corresponding to “X7 / Y5” in the plane PL. The display control unit 115 arranges the tree T4 on the lattice corresponding to “X4 / Y8” in the plane PL. The display control unit 115 arranges the tree T5 on the lattice corresponding to “X6 / Y1” in the plane PL. The display control unit 115 arranges the tree T6 on the lattice corresponding to “X5 / Y6” in the plane PL. The trees T2 to T6 are arranged to occupy one lattice in the plane PL.

(Progress of the match game)
The display control unit 115 completes the construction of the game space G11 by arranging all the objects defined in the stage management table 302 in the game space G11. After the construction of the game space G11, the first user terminal 100-1 starts the first stage of the battle game. The first user terminal 100-1 advances the competition game by arranging the building object associated with the user A in the game space G <b> 11 based on the operation input of the user A. The first user terminal 100-1 can also advance the battle game by arranging various building objects associated with the NPC in the game space G11 based on the battle algorithm corresponding to the NPC of the first stage. .

  The user A can arrange the building object of the user A on the lattice in which the object in the game space G11 is not arranged. Therefore, the user A can not arrange a building object on the lattice in which the trees T1 to T6 are arranged. The trees T1 to T6 are objects that can be deleted from the game space G11 based on the operation input of the user A. The user A can newly arrange the building object of the user A on each lattice after the trees T1 to T6 are deleted. Then, the user A tries to delete trees T1 to T6 in order to further develop his own town during the match game.

  The appearances of the trees T1 to T6 are identical to one another. The display control unit 115 does not cause the display unit 152 to display information (for example, an image) indicating whether the ring N1 is associated with the trees T1 to T6. The user A can not grasp which one of the trees T1 to T6 is associated with the ring N1 only by visually recognizing the game space G11 shown in FIG.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram showing the game space G11 in which the tree T1 to which the ring N1 is associated is deleted. The display control unit 115 deletes the tree T1 from the game space G11, for example, based on an operation input (for example, a tap input) of the user A to the tree T1 arranged in the game space G11 shown in FIG. After the deletion of the tree T1, the display control unit 115 arranges the ring N1 associated with the tree T1 on the lattice in which the tree T1 is arranged. As a result, the game space G11 shown in FIG. 16 is updated to the game space G11 shown in FIG.

  By visually recognizing the game space G11 shown in FIG. 17, the user A recognizes that the ring N1 is disposed in the game space G11 if the tree T1 is deleted. The user A can acquire the ring N1 disposed in the game space G11 during the play of the competition game. The reward calculation unit 116 assigns the ring N1 to the user A, for example, based on an operation input (for example, a tap input) of the user A on the ring N1. The user A can raise the level of the building object of the user A corresponding to the ring N1, for example, by using the applied ring N1. The first user terminal 100-1 can further prompt the user A to delete the trees T1 to T6 by giving the ring N1 to the user A through the deletion of the tree T1.

(Replay of the first stage)
The user A can re-play each stage of the battle game repeatedly from the beginning. The first user terminal 100-1 repeatedly plays the first stage by, for example, granting the user A the right to play the second stage for the first time when the user A clears the first stage. User A can be urged. The user A reselects the first stage, for example, after the first stage of the match game is over. The first user terminal 100-1 reconstructs the game space G11 by executing a series of processes shown in FIG. 14 based on the fact that the first stage is reselected by the user A. The terminal processing unit 112 can change the arrangement pattern of the trees T1 to T6 in the game space G11 with high probability every time the game space G11 is constructed by randomly replacing the arrangement positions of the trees T1 to T6. .

  FIG. 18 is a diagram showing another example of the stage management table 302 in which arrangement positions corresponding to the trees T1 to T6 are randomly switched. The terminal processing unit 112 may update the stage management table 302 illustrated in FIG. 13 to the stage management table 302 illustrated in FIG. 18 by, for example, replacing the arrangement positions of the trees T1 to T6 when constructing the game space G11. it can.

  FIG. 19 is a diagram showing another example of the game space G11. The display control unit 115 arranges each object in the game space G11 as shown in FIG. 19 based on, for example, the updated stage management table 302 shown in FIG. Similar to the game space G11 shown in FIG. 16, the game space G11 shown in FIG. 19 is a game space corresponding to the first stage. After constructing the game space G11 shown in FIG. 19, the first user terminal 100-1 starts the first stage of the battle game.

  The position where the head office H1 is arranged in the game space G11 shown in FIG. 19 is the same as that in FIG. The position where the head office H2 is arranged in the game space G11 shown in FIG. 19 is the same as that in FIG. The positions where the trees T1 to T4 and T6 are arranged in the game space G11 shown in FIG. 19 are different from those in FIG. The position where the tree T5 is arranged in the game space G11 shown in FIG. 19 is the same as that in FIG.

  The appearances of the trees T1 to T6 are identical to one another. The display control unit 115 does not cause the display unit 152 to display information (image) indicating whether or not the ring N1 is associated with the trees T1 to T6. Therefore, just by visually recognizing the game space G11 shown in FIG. 19, the user A can not grasp which one of the trees T1 to T6 the ring N1 is associated in advance, as in FIG.

  The display control unit 115 does not arrange the trees T1 to T6 in the arrangement position of the stage management table 302 not corresponding to the trees T1 to T6 when the game space G11 is constructed. Each position where the trees T1 to T6 are arranged in the game space G11 is the same as any one of the arrangement positions corresponding to the trees T1 to T6 stored in advance in the stage management table 302 shown in FIG. The arrangement positions of the trees T1 to T6 in the game space G11 shown in FIG. 19 are the same as any one of the arrangement positions of the trees T1 to T6 in the game space G11 shown in FIG. Therefore, the user A can not distinguish between the game space G11 shown in FIG. 19 and the game space G11 shown in FIG. 16 on the game screen.

  FIG. 20 is a diagram showing the game space G11 in which the tree T4 to which the ring N1 is not associated is deleted. Display control unit 115 deletes tree T4 from game space G11, for example, based on user A's operation input (for example, tap input) to tree T4 arranged in game space G11 shown in FIG. In the game space G11 shown in FIG. 19, no item is associated in advance with the tree T4. After deleting the tree T4, the display control unit 115 does not arrange the object on the lattice in which the tree T4 has been arranged. As a result, the game space G11 shown in FIG. 19 is updated to the game space G11 shown in FIG.

  By visually recognizing the game space G11 shown in FIG. 20, the user A recognizes that the ring N1 is not arranged in the game space G11 even if the tree T4 is deleted in the first stage played back from the beginning. The user A remembers that the ring N1 is placed in the game space G11 by deleting the tree (ie, the tree T1) placed at the same position in the game space G11 in the first stage played before. doing. Based on these recognitions and memories, the user A understands that the trees T1 that can obtain the ring N1 are not necessarily located at the same position.

(Advantages of the present embodiment)
When constructing the game space G11, the first user terminal 100-1 does not replace the arrangement position corresponding to the head office H1 with the arrangement position corresponding to another object (the head office H2, a tree T1, etc.). Thus, the position where the head office H1 is disposed in the game space G11 does not change each time the user A plays the battle game corresponding to the first stage. The same is true for the head office H2. Since the arrangement positions of the head offices H1 and H2 are always fixed, it is possible to prevent the configuration of the game space G11 from changing too much each time the first stage is started from the beginning.

  The first user terminal 100-1 can change the arrangement position of the tree T1 associated with the ring N1 in the game space G11 each time the user A plays the first stage of the battle game. The user A can not specify the tree T1 which can acquire the ring N1 among the trees T1 to T6 only by visually recognizing the game space G11. Therefore, since the user A needs to look for the ring N1 from the trees T1 to T6 every time the first stage of the competition game is played, the user A can play the first stage freshly every time. The first user terminal 100-1 can prevent the user A from easily capturing the first stage many times by the same capture method.

  The trees T1 to T6, which are grouped in advance, are all objects that occupy the same size range (one grid) in the game space G11. Therefore, the display control unit 115 can reliably arrange the trees T1 to T6 at the corresponding arranged positions in the game space G11.

(Example of the second stage)
The user A can also select a second stage different from the first stage. In the present embodiment, in the game space G corresponding to the second stage, the position corresponding to the head office H1 and the position corresponding to the head office H2 are defined in advance. The game space G corresponding to the second stage is referred to as a game space G12 as necessary. In the game space G12, a plurality of positions corresponding to a plurality of objects grouped in advance are further defined in advance. The plurality of building objects include trees T1 to T4 (second objects) and rocks W1 to W2 (third objects). The rocks W1 to W2 have different attributes from the trees T2 to T4 in that the appearance of the rocks W1 to W2 is different from the appearance of the trees T1 to T4.

  FIG. 21 is a diagram showing an example of the stage management table 303 corresponding to the second stage. The stage management table 303 manages information on each object arranged in advance in the game space G12 when the game space G12 is constructed. The stage management table 303 is stored in the storage unit 220 of the game server 200 and / or the storage unit 120 of the user terminal 100.

  In the stage management table 303, “H1” to “H2”, “T1” to “T4”, and “W1” to “W2” are stored as object IDs. "H1" and "H2" correspond to headquarters H1 and H2, respectively. “T1” to “T4” correspond to trees T1 to T4, respectively. “W1” to “W4” correspond to the rocks W1 to W1, respectively.

  The group ID of the headquarters H1 and H2 is "none". Headquarters H1 and H2 are not grouped. The group ID of the trees T1 to T4 is "1". The group ID of the rocks W1 to W2 is “1”. Since "1" corresponds to the first group, the trees T1 to T4 and the rocks W1 to W2 belong to the first group. That is, trees T1 to T4 and rocks W1 to W2 are grouped.

  In the stage management table 303, the arrangement positions of the head offices H1 and H2 are “X1 / Y1” and “X7 / Y8”, respectively. The arrangement positions of the trees T1 to T4 are “X1 / Y4”, “X3 / Y7”, “X4 / Y1”, and “X4 / Y3”, respectively. The arrangement positions of the rocks W1 to W2 are “X5 / Y5” and “X8 / Y6”, respectively.

(Construction of game space G12)
FIG. 22 is an example of a flowchart showing a flow of processing for constructing the game space G12, which is executed by the first user terminal 100-1. In step S131, the terminal processing unit 112 specifies the stage management table 303 corresponding to the second stage selected by the user A. The terminal processing unit 112 maintains the arrangement positions of the head office H1 and the head office H2 with values defined in advance in the stage management table 303. The terminal processing unit 112 indicates that the trees T1 to T4 and the rocks W1 to W2 are grouped based on the fact that the group IDs corresponding to the trees T1 to T4 and the rocks W1 to W2 are all "1". Identify. In step S132, the terminal processing unit 112 determines each of the plurality of arrangement positions corresponding to the grouped trees T1 to T4 and the rocks W1 to W2 stored in the stage management table 303 based on the specification result. Randomly replace.

  FIG. 23 is a diagram showing a stage management table 303 in which arrangement positions corresponding to trees T1 to T4 and rocks W1 to W2 grouped in advance are randomly replaced. After the replacement process is completed, the stage management table 303 shown in FIG. 21 is updated to the stage management table 303 shown in FIG.

  FIG. 24 is a diagram showing the game space G12. The display control unit 115 arranges each object in the game space G12 as shown in FIG. 24 based on, for example, the stage management table 303. Steps S133 and S134 are the same as steps S123 and S124, respectively, and therefore the description will not be repeated. The display control unit 115 specifies each replaced arrangement position corresponding to the trees T1 to T4 by referring to the stage management table 303. In step S135, the display control unit 115 arranges the trees T1 to T4 in the game space G at the arranged positions after replacement corresponding to the trees T1 to T4. The display control unit 115 refers to the stage management table 303 to specify each of the post-replacement arrangement positions corresponding to the rocks W1 and W2. In step S136, the display control unit 115 arranges the rocks W1 to W2 having an appearance different from that of the trees T1 to T4 in the post-replacement arrangement positions corresponding to the rocks W1 to W2 in the game space G12.

  The display control unit 115 completes the construction of the game space G12 by arranging all the objects defined in the stage management table 303 in the game space G12. After constructing the game space G12, the first user terminal 100-1 starts the second stage of the competition game.

(Replay of the second stage)
The first user terminal 100-1 constructs a game space G12 by executing a series of processes shown in FIG. 22 based on the reselection of the second stage by the user A. The terminal processing unit 112 corresponds the trees T1 to T4 and the rocks W1 to W2 with the respective layout positions after the replacement by randomly replacing the layout positions corresponding to the trees T1 to T4 and the rocks W1 to W2. Each time the game space G12 is constructed.

  FIG. 25 is a diagram showing another example of the stage management table 303 in which arrangement positions corresponding to trees T1 to T4 and rocks W1 to W2 grouped in advance are randomly switched. The terminal processing unit 112, for example, replaces the arrangement positions of the trees T1 to T4 and the rocks W1 to W2 when constructing the game space G12, whereby the stage management table 303 illustrated in FIG. Can be updated.

  FIG. 26 is a view showing another example of the game space G12. The display control unit 115 arranges each object in the game space G12 as shown in FIG. 26, for example, based on the updated stage management table 303 shown in FIG. Similar to the game space G12 shown in FIG. 24, the game space G12 shown in FIG. 26 is a game space corresponding to the second stage. After constructing the game space G12 shown in FIG. 26, the first user terminal 100-1 starts the second stage of the battle game.

  The position where the head office H1 is arranged in the game space G12 shown in FIG. 26 is the same as that in FIG. The position where the head office H2 is arranged in the game space G12 shown in FIG. 26 is the same as that in FIG. The positions of the trees T1 to T4 and the rocks W1 to W2 in the game space G12 shown in FIG. 26 are different from those in FIG. In the second stage where the user A plays again from the beginning by visually recognizing the game space G12 shown in FIG. 26, the arrangement pattern of the trees T1 to T4 and the rocks W1 to W2 is the second stage previously played, and Recognize that they are different.

  The first user terminal 100-1 can make different arrangement patterns of the trees T1 to T4 and the rocks W1 to W2 each time the game space G12 is constructed. Therefore, since the user A visually recognizes the game space G12 having a different appearance as a whole each time the play of the second stage is started, the user A can play the second stage with a fresh feeling every time.
