  The receiving unit 11 receives an operation of a controller performed by a player of the game. The operation performed by the player includes the operation of the operation button and direction key of the controller for causing the player character (PC: Player Character) to move or attack.

  The storage unit 13 stores a timeline table 131 and a game processing program 132. The timeline table 131 will be described later.

  The game execution unit 9 executes the game by causing the CPU of the information processing device 10 to execute the game processing program 132 stored in the storage unit 13. In the present embodiment, the game execution unit 9 executes a turn-based game in which the player character and the enemy character play in each turn in a predetermined order. The turn-based game in which the player character and the enemy character play each turn in a predetermined order may be a search game or the like in addition to an action game such as a battle game.

  In the turn-based game according to the present embodiment, the player can move the player character (hereinafter also referred to as “own character”) or a friend character, and the enemy character operated by the computer. Possible enemy turns are given alternately. The ally character is a character that fights to defeat the enemy character with the player character, and is a character operated by the computer. The enemy character may be an own character or a friend character operated by another user.

  The turn order in the game in which the game execution unit 9 progresses is not limited to the turn in which the turn of the player character (or the friend character) and the enemy character are alternately repeated, and the turn may be repeated in a predetermined order. For example, the game may be a turn-based game in which each character of a plurality of characters in the field executes a game in a predetermined order, such as self turn → self turn → enemy turn → self turn →.

  The calculation unit 12 counts the activation time and the number of activations of the display components displayed on the timeline on the screen. FIG. 2 is an example of a screen display of the game according to the present embodiment. On the display 32, the main character's own character PC is displayed in the center. In the display area B on the right side of the screen, a timeline TL is displayed. The timeline TL is an example of an axis object.

  The timeline TL displays display components in the form of a time card, which can identify actions or objects that can be activated in the game. Actions that can be activated in the game include character actions. Items that can be activated in the game include items such as weapons and treasures, and objects generated as a result of the action of the character. The object generated as a result of the action of the character is, for example, a meteorite obtained as a result of the action of the character when the character uses magic that calls the meteorite during its action.

  An area on the right side of the timeline TL is an ally area Ar1 for displaying a display part of the ally character. An area on the left side of the timeline TL is an enemy area Ar2 in which display parts of the enemy character are displayed. Further, the upper end portion of the timeline RL is an activation area Ar3 that displays the display part at the activation timing.

  A display component that can identify an action or thing activated for an ally character including its own character is referred to as a “first display component”, and a “second display” that indicates an action or object activated for an enemy character is identifiable. It is called a part.

  The first display component and the second display component are displayed separately. In the example of FIG. 2, among the first display parts P1, P2 and P3, the first display parts P2 and P3 other than the first display part P1 for which the activation timing has come but for which the activation timing has not come are allied. It is displayed in the area Ar1 of the display part. The second display components D1 and D2 are displayed in the area Ar2 of the enemy display component.

  The calculation unit 12 counts and manages the time until activation of the first display component and the activation time and activation frequency of the second display component.

  The identifying unit 14 displays a specific indication in a circle so that it can identify the actable objects (including the item used as a result of the character's action) and the character's action in the game executed by the game execution unit 9. Icon as a display part. However, the display component is not limited to the icon, and may be a display object capable of identifying an action or an object relating to a game character. For example, display objects capable of identifying an action or an object relating to a game character include an object on which a symbol, text, character or the like is drawn, or a combination of such an object with color or light. For example, the display parts of the player character, the ally character and the enemy character may be color-coded, or the display parts close to the activation timing and the activation timing may be blinked.

  The display control unit 15 displays the display component at a position according to the activation time. The display control unit 15 arranges the first display component in the area Ar1 of the friend display component and at a position according to the activation time of the first display component along the timeline TL. In addition, the display control unit 15 arranges the second display component in the area Ar2 of the enemy display component and at a position according to the activation time of the second display component along the timeline TL.

  The display control unit 15 displays the first display component and the second display component below the timeline TL as the time until activation is longer. Therefore, when the time until the first display component and the second display component are activated is the same, the first display component and the second display component are at the same height on the right side and the left side of the timeline TL. Is displayed.

  Therefore, the player can determine at a glance the order in which the friend display component and the enemy display component are activated by the display of the timeline TL.

  In addition, among the display parts that are activated multiple times, the number of times of activation is displayed along the display parts. Thereby, the activation condition of the action or thing which each of the 1st display component and the 2nd display component shows can be displayed so that a user can recognize. The number of times of activation may be displayed along with the display part for the display parts of which the number of times of activation is one.

  Note that a display area A on the left side of the display screen in FIG. 2 indicates a battle command, and is selected with the up and down direction buttons. The lower display area C shows parameters of the friend character.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the graphic processing unit 16 is connected to the display unit 18, and outputs a video signal to the display unit 18 when a drawing instruction is output from the game execution unit 9. Thereby, the display unit 18 displays an image of the game according to the progress of the game. In addition, when a drawing command is output from the display control unit 15 to the display unit 18, display components are displayed on the timeline TL according to the instruction.

  The sound processing unit 17 is connected to the sound output unit 19, and outputs a sound signal to the sound output unit 19 when the game execution unit 9 outputs a sound output instruction command. Thereby, the sound output unit 19 outputs voice and sound according to the progress of the game. The communication unit 20 communicates with other devices.

[Hardware configuration of information processing device]
Next, an example of the hardware configuration of the information processing apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a hardware configuration of the information processing apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment. The information processing apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment includes a central processing unit (CPU) 21, a read only memory (ROM) 22, a random access memory (RAM) 23, and a hard disk drive (HDD) 24.

  The information processing apparatus 10 further includes a graphic card 25, an external I / F 26, a communication I / F 27, an input I / F 28, a touch panel 31, a display 32, and a speaker 33. Each part is mutually connected by a bus.

  The ROM 22 is a nonvolatile semiconductor memory that can retain internal data even when the power is turned off. The RAM 23 is a volatile semiconductor memory that temporarily stores programs and data. The ROM 22 and the RAM 23 store programs and data.

  The HDD 24 is a non-volatile storage device storing programs and data. The ROM 22, the RAM 23, and the HDD 24 may store programs of basic software and application software that control the entire information processing apparatus 10.

  The CPU 21 reads various programs and various data from the ROM 22 or the HDD 24 onto the RAM 23 and executes various processes to realize the control of the entire information processing apparatus 10 and the functions mounted on the information processing apparatus 10.

  The external I / F 26 is an interface that connects the information processing apparatus 10 to an external apparatus. The external device is, for example, a storage medium 26a. Thus, the information processing apparatus 10 can read and write the storage medium 26 a via the external I / F 26. Examples of the storage medium 26a include a CD (Compact Disk), a DVD (Digital Versatile Disk), an SD memory card (SD Memory card), a USB memory (Universal Serial Bus memory), and the like.

  For example, in the information processing apparatus 10, a storage medium 26a in which the game processing program 132 and the like are stored can be attached. These programs are read by the external I / F 26 and read into the RAM 23.

  The CPU 21 processes the game processing program 132 read into the RAM 23 and instructs the graphic card 25 to output an image according to the progress of the game. The graphic card 25 performs image processing of the game displayed on the screen according to the instruction, and causes the display 32 to draw a game image. One frame time of an image output from the graphic card 25 is, for example, 1/30 to 1/60 seconds. The graphic card 25 executes drawing of one image for each frame. That is, an image of 30 to 60 frames per second is drawn.

  Further, the CPU 21 processes the various programs read into the RAM 23 and outputs predetermined sounds from the speaker 33 as the game progresses. The communication I / F 27 is an interface that connects the information processing apparatus 10 to a network. The communication I / F 27 communicates with other devices via a communication unit having an antenna.

  The input I / F 28 is an interface connected to an input device such as the controller 1. The controller 1 has an operation button 2 and a direction key 3. The player operates the game using the controller 1. For example, the player may cause the player character PC to perform a predetermined action such as attack or defense or a predetermined process such as start of a screen by a combination of operations of the operation button 2 and the direction key 3. The controller 1 may be integrated with the main body of the information processing apparatus 10 or may be separated. Further, the controller 1 may be detachable from the main body of the information processing apparatus 10. One or more controllers 1 may be provided.

  The input I / F 28 causes the RAM 23 to store input information based on an input operation performed by the player using the controller 1. When the player operates the controller 1 to instruct start of the game, the input I / F 28 inputs the instruction information to start the game processing.

  The touch panel 31 is provided on the screen of the display 32, and detects the position on the screen touched by the player. As the touch panel 31, for example, an arbitrary one such as a capacitance method or a resistance film method is used. Note that the touch panel 31 may not be mounted.

  In the information processing apparatus 10 having such a configuration, when the CPU 21 executes various processes related to the game according to the procedure of the game processing program 132, the input I / F 28 stores the game data stored in the RAM 23 according to the instruction from the CPU 21 It is stored on the card 28a. Further, the input I / F 28 performs a process of reading the game data at the time of interruption stored in the memory card 28 a and transferring it to the RAM 23.

  The function of the storage unit 13 of FIG. 1 is realized by, for example, a storage device on a cloud connected to the information processing apparatus 10 via the ROM 22, the RAM 23, the HDD 24, or the network shown in FIG. The function of the reception unit 11 is realized by, for example, the input I / F 28.

  The functions of the game execution unit 9, the calculation unit 12, the identification unit 14, the display control unit 15, and the sound processing unit 17 are realized by, for example, processing that the game processing program 132 causes the CPU 21 to execute.

  The function of the graphic processing unit 16 is realized by, for example, the graphic card 25. The function of the display unit 18 is realized by the display 32, for example. The function of the sound output unit 19 is realized by the speaker 33, for example.

  The function of the communication unit 20 is realized by the communication I / F 27, for example. For example, when the timeline table 131 is stored in the storage device on the cloud, the communication unit 20 receives necessary information from the storage device on the cloud.

  Note that FIG. 1 depicts a block diagram focusing on functions, and each unit indicated by these functional blocks can be realized by hardware whose example is shown in FIG.

[Timeline display control processing]
Next, an example of the timeline display control process according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6. FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a timeline display control process according to the present embodiment. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the timeline table 131 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a display example of the game screen according to the present embodiment.

  In the timeline display control process shown in FIG. 4, the player operates the start of the game, and the game execution unit 9 is periodically or irregularly started while the turn-based game is being performed according to the operation of the player. The activation time of all the display parts is counted down and managed by the calculation unit 12 as the time during game execution elapses using a timer.

  When the process is started, the reception unit 11 determines whether or not a character action or object to be displayed on the timeline TL has occurred (step S10). If the reception part 11 determines with the action or thing of the character displayed on the timeline TL having not generate | occur | produced, it will progress to step S24. On the other hand, when the receiving unit 11 determines that the character's action or object to be displayed on the timeline TL has occurred, the specifying unit 14 displays the display component corresponding to the generated character's action or object and the character's attributes (friend or enemy). ) Are stored in the timeline table 131 (step S12). Next, the calculation unit 12 calculates the activation time and the number of activations of the specified display component and stores them in the timeline table 131 (step S14).

  For example, as shown in the display example of the game screen according to the present embodiment in FIG. 6, it is assumed that the display parts A to E are displayed on the timeline TL (the display part F is not displayed at this point) ), When a character action or thing to be displayed on the timeline TL occurs and the display component F and the character attribute (enemy) are newly specified, as shown in FIG. In addition to the character attribute of the display parts A to E, the activation time and the number of times of activation, the character attribute of the display part F, the activation time and the number of times of activation are stored. The timeline table 131 may store a reactivation flag indicating whether to reactivate (see FIG. 15). The game reactivation flag is switched on and off as appropriate by the game execution unit 9.

  Returning to FIG. 4, next, the display control unit 15 determines whether or not the character attribute of the generated display component is a friend (step S16). When the display control unit 15 determines that the character attribute of the generated display component is an ally, the display generated at the position corresponding to the activation time along the axis object of the timeline TL in the ally area Ar1 of the timeline TL. The parts are arranged and displayed (step S18). On the other hand, if the display control unit 15 determines that the character attribute of the generated display component is an enemy, the display control unit 15 is generated in the enemy area Ar2 of the timeline TL at a position corresponding to the activation time along the axis object of the timeline TL. The displayed display parts are arranged and displayed (step S20). As a result, as shown in an example in FIG. 6, the display part F is displayed at the lowermost position of the enemy area Ar2.

  Returning to FIG. 4, next, the display control unit 15 displays the number of times of activation on the display component (step S22). The number of times of activation is determined by the game execution unit 9. For example, when the determined number of activations is “1”, the display number “1” is displayed at the lower right of the display component F as shown in FIG. However, the display control unit 15 may display the number of times of activation on the display component only when the number of times of activation is a plurality of times, and may omit the description in the case of the number of times of display "1".

  Returning to FIG. 4, next, the calculation unit 12 acquires the activation time for each display component counted down by the calculation unit 12 (step S24). Next, the display control unit 15 moves the display position of each display component along the axis object of the timeline TL according to the change of the activation time (step S26), and ends this processing.

  According to this, the first display component and the second display component are displayed on both sides of the axis of the timeline TL. In addition, each display component is controlled to move along the axis object of the timeline TL to a display position according to the change of the activation time of each display component. In this way, the player can predict what attack the enemy character and the ally character can activate and how many times.

  The display control unit 15 may always move the display position of each display component along the axis of the timeline TL according to the activation time of each display component to be counted down. In this case, the processes of steps S24 and S26 may be skipped.

[Timeline display control process (when activated)]
Next, an example of the timeline display control process (when activated) according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 15. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of timeline display control processing (when activated) according to the present embodiment. FIG.8, FIG.10, FIG.12-FIG. 14 are figures which show the example of a display of the game screen which concerns on this embodiment. FIG. 9, FIG. 11 and FIG. 15 are diagrams showing an example of the timeline table 131 according to the present embodiment.

  The timeline display control process (when activated) shown in FIG. 7 is started periodically or irregularly while the turn-based game is being performed. When the process is started, the game execution unit 9 determines whether or not one of the display components displayed on the timeline TL is an activation timing (step S30).

  In the game execution unit 9, when the activation time of any display component stored in the timeline table 131 or the activation time of any display component calculated by the calculation unit 12 becomes 0, the display component is activated. It is determined that it is timing. Therefore, if there is no display component whose activation time is 0, the game execution unit 9 determines that there is no display component at the activation timing, and proceeds to step S50.

  On the other hand, when there is a display component for which the activation time has become 0, the game execution unit 9 determines that there is a display component for activation timing, and executes processing corresponding to the action or object indicated by the display component (step S32). . At this time, the display part of the activation timing is displayed in the activation area Ar3.

  For example, when the activation time of the display part A becomes 0 among the display parts displayed on the timeline TL in FIG. 6, the display part A is displayed in the activation area Ar3, as shown in FIG. Processing corresponding to the action or thing indicated by is executed. In the example of FIG. 8, as a result of execution of processing corresponding to the action or object indicated by the display part A, it is shown that the item IM appears and the player character PC can be used.

  Returning to FIG. 7, next, the calculation unit 12 determines whether or not the current activation count is 1 and the display component re-activates (step S <b> 33). Whether to reactivate can be determined by turning on and off the reactivation flag of the timeline table 131 (see FIG. 15). If the calculation unit 12 determines that the present activation frequency is 1 and the display component to be reactivated, the processing proceeds to step S36.

  On the other hand, if the calculation unit 12 determines that the current activation count is not 1, or if the current activation count is 1 and it is determined that the display component does not recur, the calculation unit 12 proceeds to step S34 and activates the activated display component. 1 is subtracted from the number of times and stored in the timeline table 131 (step S34), and the process proceeds to step S36.

  In step S36, the display control unit 15 determines whether the number of times of activation of the activated display component is one or more. If the display control unit 15 determines that the number of activations of the activated display component is not 1 or more, the display control unit 15 deletes the activated display component from the timeline TL, and deletes the information of the display component from the timeline table 131 (step S38). ), End this processing.

  In the example of FIG. 8, the processes of steps S32, S33, S34, S36, and S38 of FIG. 7 are executed for the display part A, and activation of the display part A is performed by execution of processing corresponding to the action or object shown by the display part A. The number of times becomes 0, and after execution of the process, the display of the display part A is deleted from the timeline TL (see FIG. 10). Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the information on the display component A is deleted from the timeline table 131.

  Referring back to FIG. 7, when the display control unit 15 determines that the number of times of activation of the activated display component is 1 or more in step S36, the next activation time of the activated display component is calculated, and the timeline table is displayed. It stores to 131 (step S40).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 10, after the display part A is activated, when the display part B is activated next, the number of times of activation of the display part B after activation is “1”. In this case, the next activation time of the display component B is calculated and stored in the timeline table 131. As a result, the information of the display part B is changed from the state shown in FIG. 9 as shown in FIG. 11, the calculation result time is stored in the activation time of the display part B, and the number of times of activation is “2” to “1”. "become.

  Returning to FIG. 7, next, the display control unit 15 determines whether or not the character attribute of the activated display component is an ally (step S42). When the display control unit 15 determines that the character attribute of the activated display component is a friend, the display controller 15 lowers and displays the activated display component along the axis object of the timeline TL in the ally area Ar1 of the timeline TL. Then, it is arranged at a position corresponding to the activation time (step S44). On the other hand, when the display control unit 15 determines that the character attribute of the activated display component is an enemy, the display control unit 15 lowers the activated display component along the axis object of the timeline TL to the enemy area Ar2 of the timeline TL. It displays and arranges at a position according to the activation time (step S46).

  Thereby, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, after the activated display part B lowers the timeline TL, as shown in FIG. 13, a position according to the activation time of the enemy area Ar2 (in this example, the lowermost position Is displayed on). In FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, the display part C at the next activation timing is displayed in the activation area Ar 3, and processing corresponding to the action or object indicated by the display part C is executed.

  Returning to FIG. 7, next, the display control unit 15 displays the number of times of activation on the display component (step S48). As a result, in the example of FIG. 13, the display count “1” is displayed at the lower right of the display component B. However, when the number of times of activation is displayed on the display part only when the number of times of activation is multiple, “1” of the display part B may not be displayed. The process of step S48 may be performed between the processes of steps S36 to S46 after the process of step S32.

  Returning to FIG. 7, next, the calculation unit 12 acquires an activation time of each display component being counted down (step S50). Next, the display control unit 15 moves the display position of each display component along the axis object of the timeline TL according to the change of the activation time (step S52), and ends this processing.

  From the state of the timeline TL shown in FIG. 13, the process corresponding to the action or object shown by the display parts C to F is executed once each, and the execution order of the display parts B becomes, and the timeline shown in FIG. Suppose that the status of TL is displayed.

  In this state, when step S33 in FIG. 7 is executed, the calculation unit 12 activates the current activation of the display component B when, for example, the reactivation flag of the display component B in the timeline table 131 shown in FIG. The number of times is 1, and it is determined that the display component is re-starting. In this case, step S34 in FIG. 7 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S36, and the processes of steps S36, S40, and S42 to S50 are executed.

  As a result, as shown in FIGS. 14A and 14B, the display part B lowers the timeline TL along the axis object while holding 1 in the display of the number of times of activation, and the display part B is activated. It is arranged at a display position corresponding to a change in time (for example, the position shown in FIG. 14C).

  According to this, even when the display component is activated, the friend display component (first display component) and the enemy display component (second display component) are displayed on both sides of the axis of the timeline TL. In addition, each display component is controlled to move along the axis object of the timeline TL to a display position according to the change of the activation time of each display component. In this way, the player can predict what attack the enemy character and the ally character can activate and how many times.

  The display control unit 15 may always move the display position of each display component along the axis of the timeline TL according to the activation time of each display component to be counted down. In this case, the processes of steps S50 and S52 may be skipped.

  As described above, according to the timeline display control process according to the present embodiment, each display component is divided into a friend and an enemy, and the time is displayed on the display as the activation timing is earlier according to the activation time of each display component. They are displayed in order along the axis object of the line TL. This enables the player to predictably display the timing of activation of the display parts divided into the friend and the enemy.

  In addition, according to the timeline display control process according to the present embodiment, when the number of times of activation of each display part is a plurality of times, instead of displaying the display parts by the number of times of activation, the number of times of activation is added to the display parts. Display.

  As a result, the number of display components displayed on the timeline TL is reduced compared to the case where the display components for the number of times of activation are displayed. As a result, the display component can be displayed on the timeline TL so that the player can more easily predict the activation timing of the display component divided into the friend and the enemy.

  Also, after the display part is activated, the player can display not only the number of times of the activated change on the time card, but also specific information that is particularly important in the game among the results of the activation. Various information can be obtained.

  For example, by displaying on the time card the faint state (also referred to as a break state) of the friend by activation of the display part of the enemy, it is possible to obtain information that may affect the development of the game. In addition, as an example of the display of the faint state, there is, for example, display of a cross mark or the like on the face icon of the faint state character.

[Modification]
As a modification of the timeline display control process according to the present embodiment, for example, the display method may be changed according to the number of display parts on the timeline TL. As an example, if the number of display parts is less than a predetermined number, the display parts for the number of times of activation are displayed, and the number of times of activation is not displayed. For example, in the case where the number of times of activation is two, two display parts are displayed at positions according to the activation time. On the other hand, when the number of display parts is equal to or more than the predetermined number, when the display parts for the number of times of activation are displayed, a large number of display parts are displayed on the timeline TL and become complicated. Therefore, the display method according to the present embodiment is used in which the display parts are displayed with one display regardless of the number of times of activation even if the display parts have a plurality of times of activation. Thus, it is possible to display the timing of activation of each display component so as to be easily predicted according to the number of display components to be displayed.

  The axis object of the timeline TL may not be displayed in the vertical direction, but may be displayed in the horizontal direction.

  As mentioned above, although the display method, the display program, and the information processing apparatus were explained by the above-mentioned embodiment, the display method, the display program, and the information processing apparatus concerning the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment. Various modifications and improvements are possible. In addition, when there are a plurality of the above-described embodiments and modifications, they can be combined within a consistent range.
