It may be changed.

In the present embodiment, the first virtual space 29 is a state in which the first virtual space 29 is viewed in the negative direction of the z axis along the z axis of the first virtual space 29, and a plurality of square regions (for example, in the xy plane).
It is divided into (dashed lines in the figure). The shape of the object is, for example, a combination of one or more squares with the square area as a unit. Further, when the object arranged in the first virtual space 29 is moved in response to a predetermined user operation as described later, the object moves along the x-axis direction or the y-axis direction in units of the square area. To do. Therefore, the user arranges objects in the first virtual space 29, for example, by combining puzzle pieces.

Further, in the first virtual space 29, a start position S and a goal position G are predetermined.
Here, the terminal control unit 26 predetermines the arrangement of the object 30a so that the goal position G is included inside the object 30 (30a).

In the present embodiment, the object 30a whose arrangement is determined in advance is an object 30 to which the commander character 31 which is the first game medium is at least associated. In FIG. 7, the object 30a includes a plurality of first game media, specifically, the commander character 31.
, The barracks 32, and the wall are associated with each other. For convenience of explanation, the wall is not shown.

In FIG. 7, the commander character 31 and the barracks 32 are displayed in a first display mode using, for example, an image showing an appearance peculiar to each first game medium (or type of the first game medium). In addition, a marker 33 indicating the connection position set in the object 30a is displayed.

The object list 28 is an area in which object buttons 34 (34a, 34b) corresponding to each of the plurality of objects are displayed.

The object button 34 is an interface that accepts a user operation for arranging the corresponding object 30 in the first virtual space. As will be described later, when the terminal control unit 26 detects a user operation on the object button 34, the terminal control unit 26 arranges the object 30 corresponding to the object button 34 in the first virtual space 29.

Further, the object button 34 includes an image showing the corresponding object 30, an object name, information on the first game medium associated with the object 30, for example, the number of each type of the first game medium, and the cost of the object. , Is displayed.

The object name is automatically determined by the terminal control unit 26, for example, according to the information about the first game medium associated with the object 30. In the present embodiment, the object name is a name determined according to the type of the first game medium having the largest number among the first game media associated with the object 30, but for example, the first game medium having the highest level. Any method of determining the object name, such as the name indicating the type of the game medium, can be adopted.

The display mode of the object list 28 described above is not limited to that described above. For example
The object list 28 may be an area on the first game part screen in which only the objects not arranged in the first virtual space 29 are displayed among the objects associated with the user, or the first game. A screen different from the part screen (object storage screen)
It may be displayed above. Further, for example, an image of an object may be displayed in the object list 28, and the image of the object may function as an object button 34.

Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 starts listening for a user operation on the first game part screen.

Subsequently, when the terminal control unit 26 detects a user operation on the object button 34a, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, the entire area on the first game part screen is the first virtual space display area 2
The object list 28 is hidden as defined in 7. Further, the terminal control unit 26 arranges the object 30 (30b) corresponding to the object button 34a in the first virtual space 29. Further, the terminal control unit 26 causes the object 30b to be movably displayed in the first virtual space display area 27.

Hereinafter, the object 30 displayed so as to be movable is also referred to as an object 30 in a movable state. For example, when the terminal control unit 26 detects a user operation (for example, a tap operation) on another object 30a displayed in the first virtual space display area 27, the terminal control unit 26 cancels the movable state of the object 30b and cancels the movable state of the object 30a. May be set to be movable.
In other words, the terminal control unit 26 switches the object 30 defined in the movable state according to the user operation on the object 30 displayed in the first virtual space display area 27.

Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 uses the object 30 (30a) arranged in the first virtual space 29.
, 30b), the display mode of the first game medium is changed from the first display mode to the second display mode. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, in the second display mode, the object 30a
The commander character 31 and the barracks 32 associated with the above are displayed as an image showing a simple shape as compared with the first display mode, for example, an image showing a geometric shape such as a polygon or a polyhedron. Further, in the second display mode, the color of the image showing the first game medium may be color-coded according to the game parameters of the first game medium, for example, type, attribute, level, and the like.

Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 displays the list button 35, the cost display area 36, the rotation button 37, and the decision button 38 on the first game part screen.

The list button 35 is a user interface that accepts a user operation for displaying the hidden object list 28. When the terminal control unit 26 detects a user operation on the list button 35, the terminal control unit 26 displays the object list 28 on the first game part screen, for example, as in FIG.

The cost display area 36 is an area in which the total value of the costs of all the objects 30 arranged in the first virtual space 29 and a predetermined threshold value (capacity) are displayed.

The rotation button 37 is a user interface that accepts a user operation that changes the direction of the movablely displayed object 30. When the terminal control unit 26 detects a user operation on the rotation button 37, the terminal control unit 26 rotates the direction of the movablely displayed object 30 (object 30b in FIG. 8), for example, clockwise on the xy plane in the first virtual space 29. Change to rotate 90 degrees.

The decision button 38 is a user interface that accepts a user operation for completing the first game part. When the terminal control unit 26 detects the user operation for the enter button 38, the terminal control unit 26 is based on the information about all the objects 30 arranged in the first virtual space 29.
It is determined whether or not a predetermined condition (first condition) is satisfied.

For example, the first condition is (1a) at least one connection position set for each object 30 arranged in the first virtual space 29 is set for another object 30.
The condition that there is a predetermined relative positional relationship with respect to one connection position, (2a) the condition that the total cost of all the placed objects 30 is less than or equal to the capacity, and (3a) the placed objects 30. The condition that they do not overlap each other, (4a) the condition that the start position S and the goal position G are included inside one or more arranged objects 30, and (5a).
) Of the conditions that the placement of each of the placed objects 30 is fixed
Includes, but is not limited to, at least one. The first condition may include any other conditions in addition to the above-mentioned conditions. For example, a predetermined placement prohibited area may be provided in the first virtual space 29, and the condition that the placement prohibited area and the placed object 30 do not overlap may be included. The operation of the terminal control unit 26 according to the determination of whether or not the first condition is satisfied will be described later.

Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 displays the movablely displayed object 30b in the first virtual space 2.
When a user operation (movement operation) to be moved in 9 is detected, the object 30b is moved in the first virtual space according to the movement operation. That is, the terminal control unit 26 is the object 30.
The first position information included in the first arrangement information associated with b is changed. The movement operation is, for example, an operation in which the user swipes while touching the object 30b on the screen with a finger.

Subsequently, when the terminal control unit 26 detects a user operation (arrangement confirmation operation) for confirming the arrangement of the movablely displayed object 30b, the terminal control unit 26 is based on the information about the object 30 arranged in the first virtual space 29. It is determined whether or not a predetermined condition (second condition) is satisfied. The arrangement confirmation operation is, for example, an operation in which the user releases his / her finger from the object 30b on the screen.

For example, the second condition is that (1b) at least one connection position set in the movablely displayed object 30b has a predetermined relative positional relationship with respect to at least one connection position set in the other object 30a. Condition to have, (2b) Arrangement All objects 3
The condition that the total value of the costs of 0 (30a, 30b) is less than or equal to the capacity, and (3b).
) It includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the conditions that the movablely displayed object 30b and the other object 30a do not overlap. The second condition may include any other condition in addition to the above-mentioned conditions. For example, a predetermined placement prohibited area may be provided in the first virtual space 29, and may include a condition that the placement prohibited area and the movablely displayed object 30b do not overlap.

When it is determined that the second condition is not satisfied, the terminal control unit 26 displays the movablely displayed object 30b in a mode different from the usual one. For example, in FIG. 8, as shown by the marker 33, the connection position set in the object 30b and the object 3
The connection position set to 0a and the connection position are present at different positions in the first virtual space 29. Therefore, among the second conditions, it is determined that the above-mentioned condition (1b) is not satisfied. In such a case, the terminal control unit 26 displays the object 30b in a manner of emphasizing it, such as changing the color of the object 30b (see FIG. 8) or blinking the object 30b. In this way, the user is notified that the second condition is not satisfied, and is urged to move the object 30b again so that the second condition is satisfied.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the second condition is satisfied, the terminal control unit 26 determines the arrangement of the movablely displayed object 30b. Specifically, the terminal control unit 26 changes the confirmation flag corresponding to the object 30b from off to on. For example, FIG. 9 shows how the arrangements of the objects 30a and 30b are fixed, respectively.

Subsequently, when the terminal control unit 26 detects the user operation for the enter button 38, the above-mentioned first condition is satisfied based on the information regarding all the objects 30 (30a, 30b) arranged in the first virtual space 29. Determine if it is possible.

For example, when it is determined that the first condition is not satisfied, the terminal control unit 26 displays the display mode of at least one object on the screen to which the information not satisfying the first condition is associated with the at least one object. Changes to a form that can be identified by the user. Specifically, when it is determined that, for example, the condition that the arranged objects 30 do not overlap each other is not satisfied in the first condition, the terminal control unit 26 performs at least one object arranged so as to overlap. A predetermined highlighting is performed, such as changing the color of 30 or blinking. Preferably, the terminal control unit 26 displays information indicating unsatisfied conditions on the screen. For example, an image is displayed that notifies the user that the arranged objects 30 are overlapped with each other.

Here, in FIG. 9, as shown by (1) two markers 33, the object 30a
The connection position of the object 30b and the connection position of the object 30b exist at substantially the same position in the first virtual space 29. Further, (2) the total value of the costs of the objects 30a and 30b (for example, 4).
0 points) is less than or equal to capacity (eg, 100 points). Further, (3) the objects 30a and 30b are arranged so as not to overlap each other. Also, (4) Object 3
The start position S and the goal position G are included inside 0a and 30b. And (5)
The arrangement of all the arranged objects 30a and 30b is confirmed. Therefore, since the above-mentioned conditions (1a) to (5a) included in the first condition are satisfied, it is determined that the first condition is satisfied.

When it is determined that the first condition is satisfied, the terminal control unit 26 has two or more objects 3.
The information about the first game medium associated with at least one of the two or more objects 30 is changed according to the relative positional relationship in the first virtual space 29 of 0. Specifically, the arrangement suppression flag or the game parameter included in the information about the first game medium changes. Hereinafter, a specific description will be given.

First, the operation of the terminal control unit 26 that changes the arrangement suppression flag included in the information about the first game medium will be described. For example, as shown by the marker 33 in FIG. 9, the objects 30a and 30b have a relative positional relationship in which the connection positions set for each exist at substantially the same position in the first virtual space 29. The terminal control unit 26 is the object 30a.
When the relative positional relationship of the objects 30a and 30b is detected, the arrangement suppression flag associated with the first game medium (wall) arranged at the connection position of each of the objects 30a and 30b is changed from off to on. In this way, the wall arranged at the connection position of the object 30 is
Arrangement in the second virtual space is suppressed.

Next, the operation of the terminal control unit 26 that changes the game parameters included in the information about the first game medium will be described. When the terminal control unit 26 has a relative positional relationship with the object 30 (adjutant object) to which the specific first game medium (adjutant character) is associated, for example, the other object 30 is adjacent to the other object 30. The game parameters of the first game medium associated with the object 30 are changed. For example, terminal control unit 2
6 increases the first game parameter (for example, attack power) of the first game medium associated with the attribute of the adjutant character among the first game media associated with the other object 30. Let me. Preferably, the terminal control unit 26 determines the amount of change in the first game parameter of the first game medium according to the second game parameter (for example, HP) of the adjutant character. For example, the greater the HP of the adjutant character, the greater the amount of increase in the attack power of the first game medium.

Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 receives all the objects 30 (1) arranged in the first virtual space 29.
The second position information in the second virtual space is associated with the first game medium associated with each of 30a and 30b). Here, the terminal control unit 26 may omit the association of the second position information with respect to the first game medium to which the arrangement suppression flag set to be turned on is associated.

Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 changes the display mode of the first game medium associated with the object 30 arranged in the first virtual space 29 from the second display mode to the first display mode. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the commander character 31 and the barracks 32, which are the first game media associated with the object 30a, are displayed in the first display mode. Further, the barracks 39 and the turret 40, which are the first game media associated with the object 30b, are also displayed in the first display mode.

Then, the terminal control unit 26 transmits information about the first game medium to which the second position information is associated to the server device 11, and ends the first game part processing.

When the second position information is associated with the first game medium associated with the one or more objects 30 arranged in the first virtual space 29 by the first game part processing described above, the second game part described later will be described. In the process, the second virtual space in which the first game medium is arranged can be set. The second virtual space to be set is, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, the area 41 (41) corresponding to the shape of the objects 30 (30a, 30b) arranged in the first virtual space 29.
At least includes a, 41b). In FIG. 11, for the sake of simplicity, the first game medium arranged in the second virtual space is not shown.

For example, when the positive direction of the Z axis is set upward in the second virtual space and the negative direction of the Z axis is set downward in the second virtual space along the Z axis in the second virtual space, the side surfaces of the regions 41a and 41b, respectively. The wall 42, which is the first game medium, is arranged along the above. Here, as described above, the placement of the wall associated with the placement suppression flag set to ON is suppressed. As a result, the wall 42 is arranged over the entire side surface of each of the regions 41a and 41b, except for the position 43 shown in FIG. 11, for example. Therefore, the areas 41a and 41b surrounded by the wall 42, respectively.
Communicate at position 43. In the second game part described later, the second game medium arranged in the second virtual space can move back and forth between the area 41a and the area 41b by passing through the position 43 where the wall 42 is not arranged.

(2nd game part processing)
Next, the second game part processing will be described. As described above, in the second game part, the user operates the second game medium and aims to capture the second virtual space of another user.

First, the terminal control unit 26 receives a second user operation to start the second game part.
The start request of the game part is transmitted to the server device 11. Here, the start request of the second game part may include information specifying another user.

Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 receives the start instruction of the second game part from the server device 11 that has received the start request of the second game part. Further, the terminal control unit 26 stores in the terminal storage unit 24 information about the first game medium to which the second arrangement information is associated, among the information about other users included in the instruction.

Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 describes the second virtual space related to the other user based on the information stored in the terminal storage unit 24 regarding the first game medium related to the other user to which the second position information is associated. To set. Specifically, the terminal control unit 26 arranges each first game medium at a position (X, Y, Z) in the second virtual space indicated by the second arrangement information associated with the first game medium. To do. In this way, the second virtual space in which the first game medium is arranged is set.

Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 associates the second position information with the user's second game medium, and arranges the second game medium at the position indicated by the second position information in the second virtual space. Here the second
The position indicated by the position information corresponds to, for example, the start position S set in the first virtual space.
It is a position in the second virtual space.

Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 displays the second game part screen on the display unit 25 and starts the second game part.

Hereinafter, the operation of the terminal control unit 26 for advancing the second game part will be described with reference to the second game part screen shown in FIG. The second game part screen is a screen on which the peripheral area of the second game medium 44 in the second virtual space is displayed. FIG. 12 shows Z in the second virtual space.
It shows a state in which the second virtual space is viewed from diagonally above with the positive direction of the axis as the sky, but the display mode of the second virtual space is not limited to this. For example, the terminal control unit 26 may change the display mode (for example, viewpoint and scale) of the second virtual space according to a predetermined user operation (for example, pinch operation or the like) for the second game part screen.

On the second game part screen shown in FIG. 12, the second game medium 44, the HP image 45, the wall 46, the barracks 47, and the soldier character 48 are displayed.

The second game medium 44 is, for example, a user's character arranged in the second virtual space. As will be described later, the second game medium 44 operates in the second virtual space in response to a predetermined user operation on the second game part screen.

The HP image 45 is, for example, an indicator showing the HP of the second game medium 44.

The wall 46 is a first game medium arranged in the second virtual space. As mentioned above, wall 4
6 hinders the movement of the second game medium 44.

The barracks 47 is a first game medium arranged in the second virtual space. As described above, the barracks 47 generate a third game medium such as a soldier character 48 according to the passage of time. Specifically, the terminal control unit 26 elapses a predetermined time (10 seconds) based on the game parameters associated with the barracks 47, for example, the generation speed of the soldier character 48 (for example, once every 10 seconds). Each time the soldier character 48 is placed in the second virtual space.

The soldier character 48 is a third game medium generated by the barracks 47. The terminal control unit 26 automatically operates the soldier character 48 to move in the second virtual space, attack the second game medium, and the like.

Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 starts listening for a user operation on the second game part screen.

Subsequently, when the terminal control unit 26 detects a user operation for operating the second game medium 44 in the second virtual space, the terminal control unit 26 operates the second game medium 44 in the second virtual space in response to the user operation. For example, the second game medium 44 moves in the swiping direction in response to an operation in which the user swipes while touching an arbitrary position on the screen with a finger. Specifically, the terminal control unit 26
The second position information of the second game medium 44 is changed. Further, for example, the second game medium 44 attacks in response to an operation in which the user taps an arbitrary position on the screen.

Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 automatically operates (for example, moves and attacks) the first game medium or the third game medium in the second virtual space, and causes the first game medium or the third game medium and the third game medium. 2
A battle with the game medium 44 is executed.

Specifically, in the terminal control unit 26, the attack by the first game medium or the third game medium is the second.
Hitting the game medium 44 reduces the HP of the second game medium 44. Further, the terminal control unit 26 determines whether or not the HP of the second game medium 44 has become zero, that is, whether or not the second game medium 44 has been defeated. When it is determined that the second game medium 44 has been defeated, the terminal control unit 26 determines that the user has failed to achieve the game task. On the other hand, the second game medium 4
If it is determined that 4 is not defeated, the terminal control unit 26 continues the battle.

More specifically, the terminal control unit 26 reduces the HP of the first game medium or the third game medium when the attack by the second game medium 44 hits the first game medium or the third game medium. Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 determines whether or not the HP of the first game medium or the third game medium has become zero, that is, whether or not the first game medium or the third game medium has been defeated. When it is determined that the first game medium or the third game medium has been defeated, that is, when it is determined that the second game medium has won, the terminal control unit 26 may, for example, use the first game medium or the third game medium. The operation mode and the display mode are changed to a mode indicating the defeat of the first game medium or the third game medium. Specifically, the terminal control unit 26 erases the first game medium or the third game medium from the second virtual space, or stops the operation of the first game medium or the third game medium, and
For example, the display mode is changed to use an image of a destroyed barracks or an image of a collapsed character. Then, the terminal control unit 26 ends the battle and continues the progress of the second game part. On the other hand, when it is determined that the first game medium or the third game medium has not been defeated, the terminal control unit 2
6 continues the match.

Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 determines whether or not the second game medium 44 satisfies a predetermined condition in the second virtual space. In the present embodiment, the predetermined condition includes, but is not limited to, the condition that the second game medium 44 wins the battle with the commander character. For example, the predetermined condition may include a condition that the second game medium 44 has moved to a position in the second virtual space corresponding to the goal position G set in the first virtual space. When it is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the terminal control unit 26 determines that the user has succeeded in achieving the game task.

Subsequently, when the terminal control unit 26 determines the success or failure of the achievement of the game task, the terminal control unit 26 transmits the result information including the result of the determination to the server device 11. In addition to the result of the determination, the result information includes arbitrary information determined by the execution of the second game part, such as the time required to achieve the game task and the HP of the second game medium 44 at the time when the game task is achieved. May be included. Then, the terminal control unit 26 ends the second game part processing.

Next, the operation of the terminal device 12 that executes the above-described first game part processing will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

If it is determined that the condition is satisfied (step S109-Yes), the process proceeds to step S110. On the other hand, if it is determined that the second condition is not satisfied (step S109-No), the process returns to step S104.

Step S110: When it is determined in step S109 that the second condition is satisfied (step S109-Yes), the terminal control unit 26 determines the arrangement of the object 30. Specifically, the terminal control unit 26 changes the confirmation flag corresponding to the object 30 from off to on.

Step S111: Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 determines whether or not a user operation on the decision button 38 has been detected. If it is determined that the user operation on the enter button 38 has been detected (step S111-Yes), the process proceeds to step S112. On the other hand, the enter button 38
If it is determined that the user operation for is not detected (step S111-No), the process returns to step S104.

Step S112: When it is determined in step S111 that the user operation for the enter button 38 is detected (step S111-Yes), the terminal control unit 26 is based on the information about all the objects 30 arranged in the first virtual space. It is determined whether or not the first condition is satisfied. When it is determined that the first condition is satisfied (step S112-Y)

As described above, the terminal device 12 according to the present embodiment associates the object to which the first game medium is associated with the first position information indicating the position in the first virtual space. Then, the terminal device 12 associates the first game medium associated with the object with the second position information indicating the position in the second virtual space for each of the one or more objects associated with the first position information. With such a configuration, for example, the second virtual space is set based on the objects arranged by the user in the first virtual space. Therefore, for example, as compared with a configuration in which a predetermined first game medium is arranged in advance in the second virtual space, a second virtual space that reflects the user's intention can be set, and the fun of the game is improved. ..

Further, since the second virtual space is set based on the objects arranged by the user in the first virtual space, it is compared with, for example, a configuration in which the user arranges a plurality of first game media one by one in the second virtual space. Then, the user may arrange one or more first game media in the first virtual space for each object, and it is possible to reduce the burden on the user and improve the usability.

Further, when it is determined that the second condition is satisfied, the terminal device 12 determines the first position information associated with the object. By providing the conditions for determining the arrangement of the objects in this way, the combination and arrangement of the first game media arranged in the second virtual space can be restricted, and the game balance can be easily adjusted.

Further, the terminal device 12 provides information on the first game medium associated with at least one of the two or more objects according to the relative positional relationship of the two or more objects arranged in the first virtual space. To change. In this way, when two or more objects are arranged in the first virtual space, the information about the first game medium, for example, the HP of the first game medium changes according to the arrangement, so that the objects in the first virtual space Improves strategic placement.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the drawings and examples, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can easily make various modifications and modifications based on the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these modifications and modifications are within the scope of the present invention. For example, the functions included in each means, each step, etc. can be rearranged so as not to be logically inconsistent, and a plurality of means, steps, etc. can be combined or divided into one. ..

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the position information in the object included in the information about the first game medium is the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate in the xyz coordinate system of the first virtual space with reference to a predetermined origin set on the object. The configuration represented by the combination of (dx, dy) has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this.

Specifically, the position information in the object may be indicated by, for example, a combination of x-coordinate, y-coordinate, and z-coordinate (dx, dy, dz). In such a case, the first position information associated with the object is (x, y, 0), and the first position information of the first game medium associated with the object is (x + dx, y + dy, dz). .. Alternatively, the position information in the object may be indicated by a combination (dX, dY, dZ) of the X coordinate and the Y coordinate in the XYZ coordinate system of the second virtual space with reference to a predetermined origin set on the object. .. In such a case, the terminal control unit 26 of the terminal device 12 corresponds to the first position information (x, y, 0) associated with the object based on the correspondence information between the first position information and the second position information. Second
Position information (X, Y, 0) is calculated. Then, the terminal control unit 26 first adds the second position information (X + dX, Y + dY, dZ) obtained by adding the in-object position information (dX, dY, dZ) to the calculated second position information (X, Y). Corresponds to game media.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the connection position of the object has a predetermined relative positional relationship with respect to the connection position of another object, the arrangement suppression flag associated with the wall arranged at the connection position in the object is set. , The configuration that changes from off to on has been described, but the control method of the placement suppression flag is not limited to this. For example, the placement suppression flag associated with the walls placed at all connection positions in the object may be set to on in the initial state. In such a case, if the connection position set for the object does not have a predetermined relative positional relationship with respect to the connection position of another object, the terminal control unit 26 associates the connection position with the wall arranged at the connection position. The placement suppression flag may be changed from on to off.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the placement suppression flag associated with the wall placed at the connection position in the object can change has been described, but the first position placed at a position other than the connection position in the object has been described. The placement suppression flag of the game medium may change.

For example, when the combination of two or more objects arranged in the first virtual space has a predetermined shape (for example, a square), the terminal control unit 26 covers the entire circumference of the shape of the combination of the two or more objects. Except for a plurality of walls arranged over the object, the arrangement suppression flag of the wall associated with the two or more objects is switched from off to on.

Further, for example, when the combination of two or more objects arranged in the first virtual space has a predetermined shape (for example, a square), the terminal control unit 26 has at least one associated with the two or more objects. Based on the information about one first game medium, for example, when the game parameter (for example, attack power) of the at least one first game medium is a predetermined value or more, the entire circumference of the shape of the combination of the two or more objects. Except for a plurality of walls arranged over, the arrangement suppression flag of the wall associated with the two or more objects is switched from off to on.

With such a configuration, in the first game part, the user can arrange a plurality of objects in the first virtual space without being aware of the connection position set for the objects. Therefore, for example, even a user who is unfamiliar with the game can easily arrange the objects and maintain the game balance.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the placement confirmation operation for fixing the placement of the movable object 30b is detected during the execution of the first game part, the object 30b and the other object 30a overlap. The terminal control unit 26 may execute a process of automatically eliminating the overlap between the objects.

Specifically, the terminal control unit 26 may automatically move the object 30a in the first virtual space to a position where it does not overlap with the object 30b. Preferably, the terminal control unit 26 moves the object 30a to a position in the first virtual space where the object 30b was arranged before the movement. Alternatively, preferably, the terminal control unit 26 moves the object 30a so that at least one connection position of the object 30a has a predetermined relative positional relationship with respect to at least one connection position of the object 30b.

Specifically, the terminal control unit 26 may delete the object 30a from the first virtual space and display the object button 34 corresponding to the object 30a in the object list 28.

With such a configuration, when the arrangement of the objects in the first virtual space is determined, the burden on the user considering the overlap of the objects is reduced, and the usability is improved.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the configuration for comparing the total cost and the capacity of all the objects arranged in the first virtual space during the execution of the first game part has been described. The configuration may be such that the total cost value of some objects arranged in the virtual space is used. For example, when the first virtual space is divided into a plurality of regions in the xy plane as described above (see the broken line in FIG. 7), the first virtual space is divided into a plurality of large regions each including one or more regions. It is partitioned. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 7, the first virtual space 29
Is divided into 6 x 6 = 36 areas and is divided into 4 large areas each consisting of 3 x 3 = 9 areas. In such a case, the terminal control unit 26 associates the capacity with each large area and stores it in the terminal storage unit 24. Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 compares the total cost of the objects arranged in the large area with the capacity associated with the substitute area for each large area.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the terminal control unit 26 may selectively display only the object buttons 34 corresponding to the objects satisfying the predetermined conditions in the object list 28 during the execution of the first game part.

For example, when the terminal control unit 26 detects a user operation (for example, a tap operation on the object A displayed in the first virtual space display area 27) that specifies the object A arranged in the first virtual space, the user Among all the objects associated with, an object having a shape that can be placed by replacing the specified object A (for example, a shape that does not overlap with other placed objects) is identified. Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 displays the object button 34 corresponding to the identified object in the object list 28. When the terminal control unit 26 detects a user operation on the object button 34, the terminal control unit 26 deletes the object A from the first virtual space and arranges the object B at the position where the object A is arranged. Further, the terminal control unit 26 may display the object button 34 corresponding to the deleted object A in the object list 28. Alternatively, instead of erasing the object A, the terminal control unit 26 may automatically move the object A in the first virtual space so as not to overlap with the arranged object B, for example.

Further, for example, the terminal control unit 26 may use the first virtual space 2 displayed on the first game part screen.
A user operation (for example, a tap operation in the first virtual space display area 27) that specifies an arbitrary position in 9 is detected. Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 identifies an object having a shape that can be placed at a designated position (for example, a shape that does not overlap with other placed objects) among all the objects associated with the user. Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26
The object button 34 corresponding to the identified object is displayed in the object list 28.
Display inside. Then, when the terminal control unit 26 detects a user operation on the object button 34, the terminal control unit 26 arranges the corresponding object at a designated position in the first virtual space.

Further, for example, when the first virtual space is divided into a plurality of large areas in the xy plane as described above, the terminal control unit 26 is an arbitrary in the first virtual space 29 displayed on the first game part screen. User operation to specify the position of (for example, first virtual space display area 27)
(Tap operation on the inside) is detected. Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 fits in a shape that can be arranged in a large area including a designated position (for example, 3 x 3 = 9 areas) among all the objects associated with the user. Identifies an object that has a shape). Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 displays the object button 34 corresponding to the identified object in the object list 28. Then, the terminal control unit 26 has an object button 3
When the user operation for 4 is detected, the corresponding object is arranged in the large area including the specified position in the first virtual space.

With such a configuration, for example, only the object button 34 corresponding to the object that can be arranged at the user's designated position in the first virtual space is selectively displayed in the object list 28. Therefore, the burden on the user who searches for a desired object button 34 from among a large number of object buttons 34 displayed in the object list 28 is reduced, and usability is improved.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the terminal control unit 26 may automatically define (generate) a new object during the execution of the first game part. For example, when the first virtual space is divided into a plurality of large areas on the xy plane as described above, the terminal control unit 26 may use any arbitrary virtual space 29 displayed on the first game part screen. A user operation for designating a position (for example, a tap operation in the first virtual space display area 27) is detected. Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 identifies a large area including the designated position. Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 selects one or more first game media automatically or according to the user operation. Then, the terminal control unit 26 automatically defines a new object having a shape that fits within the identified large area and to which one or more selected first game media are associated. Then, the terminal control unit 26 stores information about the defined object in the terminal storage unit 24. With such a configuration, for example, all the objects have more variations of the objects as compared with a predetermined configuration, so that the fun of the game is improved.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the terminal control unit 26 may automatically change at least one of the shape and orientation of the object during the execution of the first game part. For example, when the first virtual space is divided into a plurality of large areas on the xy plane as described above, the terminal control unit 26 may use any arbitrary virtual space 29 displayed on the first game part screen. A user operation for designating a position (for example, a tap operation in the first virtual space display area 27) is detected. Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 identifies a large area including the designated position. Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 selects at least one object automatically or according to the user operation. Subsequently, when the selected object does not fit in the identified large area, the terminal control unit 26 automatically changes the shape of the object to a shape that fits in the large area, or changes the direction of the object. Automatically change the object so that it fits within a large area. With such a configuration, the burden on the user considering the shape and orientation of the object to be arranged in the first virtual space is reduced, and usability is improved.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, during the execution of the first game part, the terminal control unit 26 has the first arrangement associated with at least one of the one or more objects arranged in the first virtual space. The information may be stored in the terminal storage unit 24 as one template information. In such a case, the terminal control unit 26 selects the template information automatically or according to the user operation in the first game part to be executed from the next time onward. Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 collectively arranges the at least one object in the first virtual space based on the first arrangement information of each object included in the template information. With such a configuration, the user can collectively reflect, for example, the arrangement of one or more objects in the first virtual space in the first game part executed in the past in the first virtual space in the first game part currently being executed. It becomes. Therefore, the operation load of the user who arranges the object in the first virtual space is reduced, and the usability is improved.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the first game medium is associated with the object in advance has been described, but the first game medium associated with the object can be selected by, for example, or changed to another game medium. The configuration may be. In addition, a predetermined restriction may be set for the change of the first game medium associated with the object. Specifically, the first game medium associated with the object is, for example, another first game medium having the same attributes as the first game medium, or another game medium below the level of the first game medium. A configuration that can be changed to is conceivable. With such a configuration, since various first game media can be associated with the object, the variation of the object is increased and the fun of the game is improved. Further, since a predetermined limit is set for changing the first game medium, the game balance can be maintained.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, for example, a combination of one or more objects selected by the user may be determined as one object. For example, the terminal control unit 26 automatically combines one or more objects selected according to a user operation to generate (define) one new object. Then, the terminal control unit 26 stores information about the new object in the terminal storage unit 24. Here, the terminal control unit 26 may select one or more objects specified by the user operation, or the information specified by the user operation (for example, the shape or cost of the object) is associated with the terminal 1
The above objects may be selected automatically.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the object is x at z = 0 in the first virtual space.
Although the configuration in which the components are arranged on the −y plane has been described, the configuration is not limited to z = 0 and may be arranged at any position in the first virtual space. In such a configuration, for example, two or more objects may be stacked and arranged in the z-axis direction in the first virtual space.

Here, the configuration may be such that two or more objects can be stacked and arranged in the z-axis direction only within a specific area of the first virtual space. Further, a capacity is associated with the specific area, and the terminal control unit 26 is within the specific area only when the total value of the costs of two or more objects is less than or equal to the capacity associated with the area. You may allow the two or more objects to be stacked and placed. As a first game medium associated with objects stacked in the positive direction of the z-axis, for example, a flying character or an airship that attacks a game medium on the ground from the air can be considered.

Further, with respect to the objects stacked in the z-axis direction, the terminal control unit 26 may determine whether or not the first condition or the second condition is satisfied, as in the above-described embodiment. In such a configuration, for example, in the first condition or the second condition, at least one connection position set for each stacked object is a predetermined relative position with respect to at least one connection position set for another object. The condition that there is a relationship (for example, two connection positions exist at substantially the same position in the first virtual space) may be included. In such a case, for example, the user sets the two or more objects so that the connection positions of the two or more objects are substantially the same in the first virtual space in order to achieve the first condition or the second condition. Deploy.
