It is connected.

  The external bus interface 26 connects the game apparatus 1 to another computer apparatus via an external bus such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable. The external bus interface 26 loads the game program 5a and the game data 5b from another connected computer device (a type of recording medium). The game program 5a is a computer program for causing the game apparatus 1 to execute a game in which a battle is performed by transitioning to a command input type battle screen when, for example, a player character and an enemy character encounter in a virtual game space. . Also, the game data 5b includes data necessary to execute the game. For example, the game data 5b may be image data of a background constituting a virtual game space, image data for displaying information such as status, image data of a virtual operator such as a cross key, voice data such as sound effects or BGM, characters or Includes message data etc. by symbols.

  The wireless communication module 27 performs data communication with a server apparatus on the Internet by wireless communication conforming to a communication standard such as HSPA (High Speed Packet Access). By this data communication, the game program 5a and the game data 5b can be downloaded from the server device, or can be communicated with another game device 1. The game device 1 in the present embodiment can execute the game based on the game program 5 a and the game data 5 b loaded via the external bus interface 26 or the wireless communication module 27. Further, by communicating with the other game devices 1 via the Internet by the wireless communication module 27, it is also possible to play a match against the character operated by the other user.

  A load area and a work area are set in the RAM 13. The load area stores the game program 5a and the game data 5b loaded via the external bus interface 26 or the wireless communication module 27. The work area is used when the CPU 11 executes the game program 5a. The ROM 14 stores basic programs of the game apparatus 1 such as a loading function via the external bus interface 26 or the wireless communication module 27.

  The CPU 11 executes the game program 5a loaded in the RAM 13 in accordance with the user's operation on a virtual input operator (see FIGS. 3 to 9) described later to control the game progress. That is, when an operation signal is input from the input operator by being operated by the user, the CPU 11 performs predetermined game progress processing corresponding to the operation signal according to the game program 5a. The processing result is displayed on the touch screen 2 as an image (game image for each frame) indicating the progress of the game. At this time, the CPU 11 outputs an audio signal as needed, and causes the speaker 23 or the earphone terminal 24 to output an audio.

  More specifically, the CPU 11 determines the content of the game image to be displayed on the touch screen 2 based on the operation signal input by the user. The drawing data generation processor 12 generates necessary drawing data for the contents determined by the CPU 11, and transfers the generated drawing data to the drawing processing processor 15. The drawing processing processor 15 performs a drawing process of the game image based on the drawing data. For example, the drawing processing processor 15 generates a game image every 1/60 seconds based on drawing data, and writes the generated game image in the VRAM 20. The touch screen 2 has a semi-transmissive color liquid crystal display and a backlight LED (Light Emitting Diode), and displays a game image written in the VRAM 20.

At the lower center of the game screen D, the objects of the player character P1 and the teammate character P2 and parameters such as their physical strength values are displayed. Furthermore, in the upper center of the game screen D, the objects, names (“Monster A”, “Monster B”, “Monster C”) and parameters of the enemy characters E1 to E3 are displayed. As described later, the enemy characters E1 to E3 are set as a plurality of selection target objects in the present embodiment. Therefore, the selection target display means 36 displays enemy characters E1 to E3 as a plurality of selection target objects on the battle screen. Further, on the right side of the game screen D, a virtual input operator group 41 for command input is displayed.

  The operation accepting unit 32 accepts a user's touch operation on any one of the virtual input operators 41. The virtual input operator group 41 includes input operators 42 to 46 for inputting respective commands of "tapping", "skill", "item", "name", and "changing". The "tap" command input operator 42 is an input operator that attacks the enemy characters E1 to E3. Details will be described later. The “skill” command input operator 43 is an input operator for activating a skill (special ability) of the player character P1. The "item" command input operator 44 is an input operator for using an item possessed by the player character P1. The “name” command input operator 45 is an input operator for giving an instruction to the teammate character P2. The "change" command input operator 46 is an input operator for switching the positions of the player character P1 and the teammate character P2.

  As described above, the game in the present embodiment is a game in which the battle progresses based on the command input in the battle mode after encountering the enemy characters E1 to E3. When the "tap" command input operator 42 is touched, the game screen display unit 31 changes from the game screen D of FIG. 3 to the game screen D shown in FIG.

  Further, the selection target object is not limited to the enemy characters E1 to E5 described in the above embodiment, and may be, for example, the trading card, the friend character, the used item, the equipment, the place or the like described in the above modification. For example, when an item is used for any of the player character P1 and the teammate character P2 in the above-described embodiment, the player character P1 and the teammate character P2 may be selected as selection objects. Further, for example, in a farm management simulation game or the like in which a plurality of cultivatable places are set as a selection target object, the first option group G1 for a first operation command for selecting one place from a plurality of places is displayed on the game screen. When the second option group G2 for the second operation command to be selected from among a plurality of actions (for example, planting, cultivating, harvesting etc.) is displayed on the game screen. The same display mode as that of the above embodiment may be adopted.

  The position of the second input operation area G12 is not limited, but may be located, for example, at the longitudinal end of the game screen D. That is, in the game played on the horizontal screen, the second input operation area G12 is located at the right end or the left end, and in the game played on the vertical screen, the second input operation area G12 is located at the upper end or the lower end It is also good. Thus, even when the touch screen 2 is large, the second input operation area G12 can be positioned at a position where the user can easily operate. Further, the plurality of input operation areas in which the first option group G1 is displayed are not limited to the two places exemplified in the above embodiment, but may be three or more places.

  In the above embodiment, the first option group is displayed in each of the plurality of input operation areas when the battle screen is displayed, but the first option group is displayed in the plurality of input operation areas. If it can be displayed, it is not necessary to simultaneously display the first option group in a plurality of input operation areas. For example, when the user performs a touch operation on an arbitrary position on the touch screen 2, the first option group may be displayed at the touch position.

  In the above embodiment, the predetermined area A1 is set on the entire surface of the game screen D, but a part of the game screen D may be set as an area A1 to which the user can touch. In this case, in the area not set as the area A1 on the game screen D, a display area for displaying a game score, a game status or the like, a decoration image or the like may be displayed.

In the moving screen, the enemy characters E1 to E3 may be displayed so as to be visually recognizable by the user, or may be displayed transparently which can not be visually recognized by the user.

  Instead of arranging the enemy characters E1 to E3 in the virtual space S, the game control means 33 may arrange symbol objects. The symbol object is set as an object representing a group of one or more enemy characters E1 to E3 participating in one battle (described later). A plurality of types of enemy characters E1 to D3 may be included in one symbol object. Further, at the start of the battle described later, enemy characters E1 to E3 corresponding to the symbol objects to be battled may be determined by lottery or the like.

  The display mode of the input operator being selected is not limited to the one exemplified in the above embodiment. For example, even if only the first input operator F11 being selected is displayed in a blinking manner, or even if an effect display such as a selection frame gradually spreading only around the first input operator F11 being selected is given or the like Good. In the initial state in which the user does not perform selection operation, the first input operators F11 to F13 corresponding to any of the enemy characters E1 to E3 may be set during selection.

  In the above embodiment, the selection operation of the first option group in the first input operation area G11 is completed by touching the first input operation elements F11 to F13 to be selected (one-step operation). The selection operation of the first option group in the second input operation area G12 is completed by touching the second input operator F21 to F23 to be selected and touching the decision input operator 49 (two-step operation). Instead of this, a two-step operation may be required for the operation in the first input operation area G11, and one of the first input operators F21 to F23 is touched for the operation in the second input operation area G12. The second option group G2 may be displayed only by (one-step operation).

  The plurality of types of second operation commands having the strength relationship of the third set are not limited to the above embodiment. For example, three second operation commands having different attack modes such as a speed attack, a power attack, and a technique attack may be set. In this case, if the enemy characters E1 to E3 have poor and poor hands with respect to these attack modes, and can select an attack mode matched to each of the enemy characters E1 to E3, the enemy characters E1 to E3 are selected. It may be configured to deal with a large amount of damage. Further, the number of (a second input operator corresponding to) the plurality of types of second operation commands is not limited to three, and may be two or four or more. In addition, attributes (fire attribute, water attribute and tree attribute, or light) which determine the compatibility between a plurality of characters, the compatibility between the player character and the equipment, etc., as the plurality of types of second operation commands having the strength relationship of three freezing A plurality of second operation commands different in attribute, darkness attribute, etc.) may be set.

  In addition, if the distance between the first input operators F11 to F13 or the distance between the first input operators F21 to F23 is short, such as selection operation to the second input operation area G12 shown in FIG. 4, the second option group G2 The display positions of may be made common to each other. For example, when one of the first input operators F21 to F23 corresponding to the second input operation area G12 is touched, the display position of the second option group G2 is one position on the predetermined selection list 47. It may be set to

  Further, in the present embodiment, the second option display means 35 selects one type of second option group G2 regardless of the first input operators F11 to F13 and F21 to F23 selected in the first option group G1. It illustrated the mode which it indicates. Instead of this, the second option display unit 35 may display different second option groups G2 in accordance with the first input operators F11 to F13 and F21 to F23 selected in the first option group G1.
