When the battle play mode is selected, the control unit 110 of the user terminal 100 corresponding to the operating character of the host role executes the game process for the administrator shown in FIG. 4 according to the administrator side program, and according to the operating character side program. The game process for operation characters shown in FIGS. Further, the control unit 110 of the user terminal 100 corresponding to the operating character of the guest role executes the operating character playing process shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 according to the operating character side program.

Further, when the single play mode is selected, the control unit 110 of the user terminal 100 operated by the user executes the game-playing process for the manager according to the program on the manager side, and the game for the operating character according to the program on the operating character side. In addition to executing the process, the NPC game process is executed according to the NPC side program.

In both the battle play mode and the single play mode, the four characters facing the game proceed under the control of the manager. The administrator game process may be executed by the game server 200 and the process result may be transmitted to each user terminal 100.

In the following, the details of the manager game process and the operation character game process will be described with the battle play mode in mind.

Referring to FIG. 4, in step S01, random tiles are assigned to each of the four operation characters, that is, each house. Specifically, among the 136 tiles, 13 tiles are randomly selected for each house, and the 13 tiles selected for the host house are the storage units of the user terminal 100 corresponding to the house. While storing in 120, the 13 tiles selected for the guest house are transmitted to the user terminal 100 corresponding to the house via the game server 200. The transmitted tiles are stored in the storage unit 120 of the user terminal 100.

In step S02, the game is played while the operation character game process corresponding to each house is linked to divide the order of tiles drawn between the houses, and the discarded tiles of each house are displayed on the game screen of another house. Proceed. In step S03, it is determined based on the processing result of step S02 whether any house has risen or the current game has become a flow. If it is not determined that one of the houses has risen or the current game has become a flow, the process returns to step S02.

On the other hand, if it is determined that one of the houses has risen or the current game has become a flow, the liquidation is performed in step S04. Specifically, the score (privilege) of the rising role is specified, and the rank of each house and the score difference between the houses are specified. Here, it is highly probable that the score when the hand is achieved by playing during the game is lower than the score when the hand is achieved without playing during the game. In other words, the degree of advantage related to the benefits may be lower in the case where the throwing tile of another house is sounded and the winning combination is achieved than when the winning combination is achieved without casting the discarding tile of the other house. .. This is because if the winning combination is achieved without ringing during the game, a winning combination such as reach or Tsumo can be achieved. The game process for the manager this time ends after the process of step S04.

Referring to FIG. 5, in step S11, the game screen shown in FIG. 8A is displayed on touch screen 15. With reference to FIG. 8(A), a mahjong table is displayed from the viewpoint of the home (obliquely above) in the center slightly above the center of the game screen. At the center of the mahjong table, a river area RV for displaying abandoned tiles of the home and another is allocated, and below the river area RV is a tile area HA for displaying the tiles of the home. Has been assigned. The operation character is displayed below the hand tile area HA.

In step S12, the tiles distributed to the home by the process of step S01 are displayed in the hand tile area HA. The tiles are displayed, for example, as shown in FIG. In step S13, it is determined based on the processing result of step S02 whether or not it is the turn of the house, and if it is determined that the turn is reached, the process proceeds to step S14. In step S14, tiles are tiled from the tile pile and the tiles are displayed in the hand tile area HA.

In step S15, by comparing the combination of the tiles displayed in the hand tile area HA before the Tsumu and the tiles with the Tsumo tiles with a plurality of types of combinations, one of the combinations of the plurality of types of combinations. It is determined whether or not is established. When it is determined that the winning combination has been established, the process proceeds to step S16, and it is determined based on an operation input on the touch screen 15 whether or not the operation of declaring a rise (that is, “tsumo”) has been performed by the home. .. If it is determined that the operation of declaring the rise is performed, the process proceeds to step S17, and the administrator side program is notified of the rise. The operation character game process ends after the notification.

If it is not determined in step S15 that the winning combination has been established, or if it is not determined in step S16 that the operation of declaring a rise is performed, the process proceeds to step S18. In step S18, it is determined based on the operation input to the touch screen 15 whether or not a touch operation has been performed on any one of the plurality of hands (excluding the crowed tile) on the hands area HA. To do.

If it is not determined that the touch operation is performed on the hand tile, the process proceeds to step S21, and it is determined whether another operation such as an operation for declaring reach is performed based on the operation input on the touch screen 15. If it is not determined that the other operation is performed, the process returns to step S15. On the other hand, when it is determined that the other operation has been performed, the corresponding process is executed in step S21, the manager side program is notified of the completion of the process in step S23, and then the process returns to step S13.

When it is determined in step S18 that a touch operation has been performed on one of the hand tiles, the process proceeds to step S19, and the guide frame GF is displayed on the touch screen 15. In step S20, the touched tile is enlarged and displayed on the river area RV side.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8A, when a tile is touched, the tile is enlarged and displayed at a position above the touched position. Further, as shown in FIG. 8B, when the one-cylinder tile is touched, the tile is enlarged and displayed at a position above the touched position.

In step S24, it is determined whether or not the touch position has moved, based on the operation input on the touch screen 15. If it is determined that the touch position has moved, the process proceeds to step S25, and it is determined whether or not the current touch position is within the lower area including the hand tile area HA and extending to the lower portion of the screen.

When it is determined that the current touch position is within the lower area, the process proceeds to step S26, and the tiles to be enlarged and displayed are changed to the tiles located in the vertical direction of the touch position. When the change of tiles is completed, the process returns to step S24. If it is not determined that the current touch position is within the lower area, the process returns to step S24 without executing the process of step S26.

Therefore, when the touch position is moved to the right in the state where the one-piece tile shown in FIG. 8(A) is enlarged and displayed, the one-piece tile is normally displayed in the original position, and the one-row tile on the right is touched. It is enlarged and displayed at a position above the position. Further, when the touch position is moved to the left in the state where the single tile shown in FIG. 8(B) is enlarged and displayed, the single tile is normally displayed in the original position, and the left adjacent tile is touched. It is enlarged and displayed at a position above the position. Note that when the touch position moves to the river area RV, the guide frame GF is highlighted.

When it is not determined that the touch position has moved in step S24, the process proceeds to step S27, and it is determined whether or not the touch operation is canceled based on the operation input to the touch screen 15. If it is not determined that the touch operation has been released, the process returns to step S24. On the other hand, when it is determined that the touch operation is released, the process proceeds to step S28, and the guide frame GF is hidden.

In step S29, it is determined whether or not the last touched position is within the river area RV based on the operation input on the touch screen 15. If it is not determined that the last touched position is within the river area RV, the enlarged display of the tile is ended in step S33, and then the process returns to step S15. As a result, the tile that has been enlarged and displayed is normally displayed in the original position.

When it is determined in step S29 that the last touched position is within the river area RV, the process proceeds to step S30, and the discarding tile for the hand tile touched immediately before is executed. That is, the discard tile is executed when the touch position is slid to the river area RV in a state where any one of the tiles is displayed in an enlarged manner. In step S31, the discarded tiles are moved to the river area RV and displayed in a reduced size. When the process of step S31 is completed, the administrator side program is notified of the completion of the process in step S32, and then the process returns to step S13.

When it is not determined in step S13 that the turn of the private house has arrived, the process proceeds to step S34, and it is determined whether or not the other house has executed the discard tile based on the processing result of step S02. In addition, in the relationship between the private house and the private house, the order in which the private house turns the tiles comes after the private house executes the discarding tiles. Therefore, at the time when the upper house executes the discard tile, the transfer destination from step S13 is step S34 instead of step S14.

When it is determined in step S34 that the other house has discarded the tiles, the process returns to step S13, and when it is determined that the other house has discarded the tiles, the process proceeds to step S35. In step S35, it is determined whether or not the discarded tile is a raised tile for the home (that is, a tile for which Ron can be declared), which is the result of the processing in steps S12, S14, and S30, and the current home tile. It judges based on. When it is determined that the discarded tile is a raised tile, the process proceeds to step S40.

For example, if the hand tiles of one's home are one pair (sparrow head), three facets (junko or chopsticks) and double-sided tower, and the discarded tile is a tile that establishes Junko with the double-sided tower, the role is To establish. If the tiles of the home are 13 tiles consisting of 6 tiles and 1 tile, and the discarded tiles are the same tiles as the tiles, 7 pairs are established. In this case, the process proceeds from step S35 to step S40.

When it is not determined in step S35 that the discarded tile is a raised tile, the process proceeds to step S36. In step S36, it is determined whether or not a hammer (ie, Daimei mallet) can be established in the hand tile of the home by ringing the discard tile (that is, by declaring Kang) based on the current hand tile of the home. To judge. When it is determined that the hammer can be established, the discard tile is regarded as a specific tile that can be called, and the process proceeds to step S40.

A hammer is a face made up of the same four tiles. Therefore, in step S36, specifically, it is determined whether or not the same three tiles as the discarded tiles are present in the hand tiles of the home. For example, in the situation where the hand tile of the home contains three five-tube tiles, and the other family throws away the five-tube tile, the hammer can be established by ringing the five-tube tile. In this case, the process proceeds to step S40. In addition, when the maziko is established, the degree of advantage regarding the formation of the roles such as Mitsuko and Minegami flowering increases.

If it is not determined in step S36 that the lever can be established, the process proceeds to step S37. In step S37, it is determined based on the current hand tile whether or not the tick can be established in the hand tile of the home by ringing the discarded tile (that is, by declaring the pong). When it is determined that the ticks can be established, the discarded tile is regarded as a specific tile that can be called, and the process proceeds to step S39. A chopstick is a face made up of the same three tiles. Therefore, for example, in the situation where two white tiles are present in the hand tiles of the home, when the other house discards the white tiles, the ticks can be established by ringing the discarded tiles. That is, when the discarded tile is sounded, one face is newly established. If one face is established as described above, the process proceeds to step S39.

If it is not determined in step S37 that the ticks can be established, the process proceeds to step S38. In step S38, it is determined whether or not the other family who has discarded the tile corresponds to the superior family, and whether or not Junko can be established in the own tile by ringing the discarded tile (that is, by declaring Chi). , Judgment based on the current hand tile. If it is not determined that Junko can be established, the process returns to step S13. On the other hand, when it is determined that Junko can be established, the discarded tile is regarded as a specific tile that can be called, and the process proceeds to step S39.

Junko is a face made up of three tiles of the same type and having consecutive numbers. For this reason, for example, in the situation where a double-sided tower made up of three-tube tiles and four-tube tiles exists in the hand tiles of the house, when the upper family throws away the two-tube tiles or five-tube tiles, or the three-tube tiles and five-tube tiles In the situation where the sword-bearing tower consisting of exists in the hand tile of the house, when the upper house throws out the four-tube tile, Junko can be established by ringing the throwing tile. In addition, there are one five-row tile, six-row tile, and seven-row tile in the own hand tile, and the upper family has four-row tile, five-row tile, six-row tile, seven-row tile, seven-row tile, or eight-row tile. Even when a tile is discarded, Junko can be established by ringing the discarded tile. If one face is established as described above, the process proceeds to step S39.

In step S39, it is determined whether or not the number of shunts on the hand tile of the home increases by ringing the discarded tile. When it is not determined that the number of shunts is increased, the process returns to step S13, and when it is determined that the number of shunts is increased, the process proceeds to step S40.

For example, in the situation where only one child is established in the hand tile of the home, if another house discards the same tile as the two tiles of the other child, when the discard tile is sounded, the sparrow head disappears. Then the carving is newly established. That is, the number of Shanten does not increase even if the discarded tile is sounded. In this case, the process returns to step S13.

On the other hand, in the situation where multiple pairs of children have been established in the tiles of the home, the other family discards the same tile as the two tiles that form any of the pairs of children. , When the discard tile is sounded, a new engraving is established without the sparrow head disappearing. That is, the number of shunten is increased by ringing the discarded tile. In this case, the process proceeds to step S40.

Also, in the hand tiles of the home, although there are one five tiles, six tiles, and seven tiles, but there is no other cord tile, the upper family has four tiles, If you discard a five-, six-, seven-, or eight-strip tile, even if you throw the discard tile, Junko will not increase and the sparrow head will not be newly established. That is, the number of Shanten does not increase even if the discarded tile is sounded. In such a case, the process returns to step S13.

On the other hand, in the hand tiles of one's own, there are one five tiles, one six tiles, and two seven tiles (sparrow heads), but there are other tiles. In the situation where there is no, when the family throws away the four- or seven-row tiles, when you throw the tiles, Junko is newly established without the sparrow head disappearing. That is, the number of shunten is increased by ringing the discarded tile. In this case, the process proceeds to step S40.

In addition, if there are two five tiles, two six tiles, and one seven tile in the hand tile of the home, and the superior throws the seven tiles, the discard When you play the tile, Junko is newly established without extinguishing the existing Junko. That is, the number of shunten is increased by ringing the discarded tile. In such a case, the process proceeds to step S40.

Note that Kang, Pong, and Qi cannot declare after reaching their own home, but the number of shunten can be increased even if a hammer, a chopstick, or a Junko can be established by incorporating the discarded tile in the reach state. There is nothing to do. Therefore, the process returns from step S39 to step S13 regardless of the reach state. That is, in the state where the home has reached, the process does not proceed from step S39 to step S40.

In step S40, the inquiry screen NS1 shown in FIG. 9 is displayed between the river area RV and the hand tile area HA in the private game screen. According to FIG. 9, the inquiry screen NS1 is composed of a “squeal” button (a button for accepting a capture operation) B1 and a “cancel” button B2.

The inquiry screen NS1 is not displayed on the game screen of the user terminal 100 corresponding to the other house. Also, while the inquiry screen NS1 is displayed on the home game screen, the discarded tile image is displayed on the home game screen and the game screen of the other house who performed the discard, but the remaining two players It is not displayed on the game screen of another house. The discard tile image is displayed on the game screen of the other house of the two people after the operation of the home on the inquiry screen NS1 is completed. As a result, it is possible to reduce the concern that the other house may know that the private house can throw the discarded tiles.

In step S41, it is determined whether or not the “cancel” button B2 is touched by the home based on the operation input on the touch screen 15. If it is determined that the “Cancel” button B2 has been touched, the inquiry screen NS1 is hidden in step S42, and then the process returns to step S13. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the “cancel” button B2 is touched, the process proceeds to step S43. In step S43, it is determined whether or not the “squeal” button B1 has been touched by the home (that is, whether or not the capture operation has been performed) based on the operation input to the touch screen 15.

If it is not determined that the “ringing” button B1 is touched, the process returns to step S41. On the other hand, if it is determined that the “ringing” button B1 is touched, the process proceeds to step S44 to hide the inquiry screen NS1. In step S45, it is determined based on the processing result of step S35 whether or not the winning combination has been established in the hand tile of the home (that is, whether or not the winning edge has been raised).

If it is determined that the winning combination has been established, the process advances to step S48 to notify the manager side program of the rise. The operation character game process ends after the notification. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the winning combination has been established, the process proceeds to step S46. In step S46, the discarded tile is taken into the hand tile of the home, and the face containing the discarded tile is exposed and displayed at the upper right position in the hand tile area HA. In step S47, the administrator side program is notified of the completion of the process of step S46. As a result, the face is also displayed on the game screen of the other house. When the process of step S47 is completed, the process proceeds to step S15.

<Effect of this embodiment>
According to the present embodiment, in the relationship with the combination of the hand tiles of the home, whether or not to throw the particular tiles, provided that the discarded tiles of the other family are the specific tiles that can form a part of the role, An inquiry screen NS1 for making arrangements is displayed on the game screen of my home. Specifically, even if the discard tile of the other family is a specific tile, the advantage degree regarding the establishment of the combination when the discard tile is sounded is not higher than the advantage degree regarding the combination establishment when the discard tile is not sounded (( In the first situation), the inquiry screen NS1 is not displayed. In other words, the inquiry screen NS1 is displayed in a situation (second situation) in which the advantage degree regarding the establishment of the winning combination when the discard tile is sounded is higher than the advantage degree regarding the winning combination when the discard tile is not produced. It When the user "touches" the button "B1" on the inquiry screen NS1, the particular tile is taken into the combination of the hand tiles of the home.

By hiding the inquiry screen NS1 in a situation in which the advantageous degree regarding the winning combination does not increase even if the player sings, it is possible to suppress unnecessary user operation and prevent the mahjong game from being less interesting.

Further, according to the present embodiment, a plurality of types of winning combinations include a winning combination having a combination part of tiles satisfying a predetermined condition as a constituent element, and a specific tile is a combination part in the relationship with a combination of own hand tiles. It is a tile to be established. Based on this, the first situation is that the number of Shanten does not increase when the particular tile is sounded than when the particular tile is not sounded, and the second situation is when the particular tile is not sounded Also, when the particular tile is ringed, the number of Shanten is increased. As a result, it is possible to prevent an unnecessary user operation that does not increase the number of shunts, and it is possible to prevent the mahjong game from being less interesting.

Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, a plurality of types of winning combinations are established based on the pattern of the hand tiles forming four sets of face pieces and one set of sparrow heads, and the specific tile is a combination of own hand tiles. Is a tile that establishes either the sparrow head or the face in the relationship. Based on this, whether or not to display the inquiry screen NS1 is controlled based on the variation of the establishment status of the sparrow head and the face by ringing a specific tile.

Specifically, if the sparrow head is not established and the face is established by ringing the specific tile, the inquiry screen NS1 is not displayed. Further, even if the specific tile is sounded, the sparrow head is not established and the number of facets is not increased, the inquiry screen NS1 is not displayed. On the other hand, when the number of facets increases without ringing the sparrow head by ringing the specific tile, the inquiry screen NS1 is displayed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the mahjong game from deteriorating while suppressing unnecessary user operations.

<Modification>
Modifications and the like of the embodiment described above are listed below.

(1) In the above embodiment, by touching one of the hand tiles in the hand tile area HA and moving the touch position to the river area RV, a discard tile for the touched hand tile is executed. It However, in addition to executing the discard tile by such processing, even if the discard tile for the target tile is executed by flicking any one of the tiles in the tile area HA. Good.

That is, when any one of the hand tiles in the hand tile area HA is flicked, the number of Shanten of the hand tiles in the hand tile area HA is different from that when the hand tile different from the flicked hand tile is discarded. It is determined whether or not the flicked hand tiles are in a lower specific situation, and when it is not determined that the particular situation is, the discarded tile processing targeting the flicked hand tiles. On the other hand, when it is determined that the specific situation is reached, a screen for confirming whether to discard the tiles is displayed, and the discard tiles are executed according to the user operation on the confirmation screen. May be.

As a result, when it is not determined that the specific situation is reached, the discard tile processing is executed by a touch operation (flick operation) simpler than a long tap and the operability can be improved. Further, when it is determined that the specific situation is reached, a confirmation screen is displayed, so that it is possible to avoid as much as possible a situation where a game that is not intended by the user is discarded due to discarding an unintended tile due to a user's erroneous operation.

(2) In the above embodiment, in a situation where the number of shunts does not increase even when a specific tile is sounded, the inquiry screen NS1 is hidden regardless of whether or not the specific tile is a Dora tile (special identification information). It is said that However, when the specific tile is a Dora tile, the inquiry screen NS1 may be displayed even in a situation where the number of Shanten does not increase even when the tile is squealed. In this case, a step of determining whether or not the particular tile (discard tile) is a Dora tile is added as a step to shift when it is not determined that the number of shunts is increased in step S39, and the tile is a Dora tile. If it is determined that the tile is a tile, the process proceeds to step S40. If not, the process returns to step S13.

(3) In the above-described embodiment, in a situation where the user does not want to sound the specific tile even though the inquiry screen NS1 is displayed, by accepting the touch of the “Cancel” button B2, the process returns to step S13. However, if no operation is performed on the inquiry screen NS1 for a predetermined time, the process may return to step S13 without waiting for the touch of the "Cancel" button B2.

(4) In the above embodiment, the inquiry screen NS1 is displayed only when the number of shunts is increased by squeaking. However, along with the display of the inquiry screen NS1, the tiles that form a face or the like among the hand tiles by combining with the specific tile that is the object of the call may be displayed in a mode different from other tiles. As a result, since the tiles related to the specific tiles among the hand tiles can be notified, it is possible to easily consider whether or not to ring on the inquiry screen.

(5) In the above embodiment, after ringing in response to an inquiry, it is necessary for the user to select the discard tile and perform the discard tile operation. In other words, there is no support from ringing to discarding tiles. However, among the combinations of hand tiles after squealing, it is possible to support the private tile discarding operation by notifying the tiles whose shunt number is not reduced by discarding tiles.

(6) In the above-described embodiment, when the competitive play mode is selected, the character operated by the own user plays a game with three characters operated by three other users. However, if three other users are not available, the NPC may play the game instead of the insufficient characters of the other user. That is, at least one of the three characters who are opponents may be an NPC.

(7) In the above embodiment, when the competitive play mode is selected, the synchronization between the user terminals 100 of the respective users is established via the game server 200. However, in a local area network environment, for example, the user terminals 100 may communicate with each other to establish synchronization between the user terminals 100.

(8) In the above embodiment, the vertically long game screen is displayed on the touch screen 15. However, instead of this, a horizontally long game screen may be displayed on the touch screen 15, or the display mode of the game screen may be switched between vertically long and horizontally long depending on the posture of the user terminal 100.

(9) In the above embodiment, the inquiry screen NS1 is hidden in a situation where the number of shunts does not increase even when the specific tile is sounded. However, the first mode in which the inquiry screen NS1 is always displayed when the abandoned tile of the other house is the specific tile, and the inquiry screen NS1 is displayed when the abandoned tile of the other house is the specific tile even when the abandoned tile of the other house is the specific tile. A second mode in which the inquiry screen NS1 is displayed only in the second situation in which the number of shunts is increased by squeaking without being displayed is prepared, and either the first mode or the second mode can be selected by user setting. You may do it. As a result, the game can be enjoyed according to the taste of the user. Further, the operation of changing the mode may be accepted during the game. Thereby, the user's favorite mode can be selected according to the progress of the game.

(Appendix 9):
In any one of (Supplementary note 6) to (Supplementary note 8), in the fifth step, the discarding tile is taken in when the sparrow head is established, so that the sparrow head is not established and the face is removed. When the number increases, the inquiry display is executed.

(Appendix 10):
According to an aspect of an embodiment shown in the present disclosure, a game method executed by a computer (user terminal 100 in FIG. 1) including a processor, a memory, and a display unit, wherein the game based on the game program includes: In the competition game, a plurality of characters including an operation character operated by a user competes, and in the game method, the computer displays a combination of identification information owned by the user among a plurality of predetermined identification information. Based on the combination of the first step (S12, S14) and the identification information displayed in the first step, the second step (S15) of identifying a winning combination that has been established from among a plurality of predetermined combinations of winning combinations. ) And a third step (S30) of excluding the identification information designated by the user from the combination of identification information displayed in the first step from the combination of identification information owned by the user, and excluding it by another character. In the relationship between the fourth step (S02) of displaying the excluded exclusion identification information and the combination of the identification information owned by the user, the exclusion identification information is identification information which is identification information that can form a part of the role. If there is a condition, a fifth step (S36 to S40) of executing an inquiry display for inquiring of the user whether or not to incorporate the specific identification information into the combination of the identification information owned by the user, and the inquiry display A sixth step (S46) of incorporating the exclusion identification information into a combination of identification information possessed by the user by accepting an inclusion operation from the user, the fifth step including the exclusion identification information. Even if is the specific identification information, the advantage degree regarding the winning combination based on the combination of the identification information in which the exclusion identification information is fetched is lower than the advantage degree regarding the winning combination based on the combination of the identification information in which the exclusion identification information is not fetched. When the first situation is not high, the inquiry display is not performed, and the advantage degree regarding the winning combination based on the combination of identification information in which the exclusion identification information is captured is based on the combination of identification information in which the exclusion identification information is not captured. The inquiry display is executed when the second situation is higher than the degree of advantage regarding establishment.
