It is a program for. In this embodiment, as the predetermined relationship, for example, it is determined whether or not the difference between the position data is within a certain range. Specifically, it may be determined whether the position data of the touch input data is within the display area of the wrong moving image object or within a predetermined range including the vicinity of the display area. That is, the coordinate comparison program 90 determines whether or not the player has successfully touched the wrong moving image object. In this embodiment, when the position data of the wrong moving image object is registered, the registered position data of the wrong moving image object and the position data of the touch input are sequentially compared at every display timing.

  The score calculation program 92 is a program for calculating the score of the player by evaluating the content of the game play based on the result of the comparison between the position data of the wrong moving image object and the position data of the touch input data. Specifically, when it is determined that the position data of the wrong moving image object and the position data of the touch input are in a predetermined relationship, it is determined that the answer is correct and, for example, a process for increasing the score is performed. When it is determined that the data does not have a predetermined relationship, it is determined that the data is incorrect and, for example, processing for reducing the score is performed. Also, the final score is calculated when the problem is finished.

  Although not shown, the program storage area 70 stores various programs necessary for the progress of the game, such as a program for generating and outputting game music.

  The data storage area 72 stores data loaded from the ROM 28a or RAM 28b of the memory card 28, data generated in accordance with the game process, and the like. The data storage area 72 includes a background data area 94, a moving picture object data area 96, a problem moving picture object coordinate table data area 98, a comparative moving picture object coordinate table data area 100, a timer count variable area 102, a score variable area 104, an incorrect moving picture object coordinate. A storage variable area 106, a touch input coordinate storage variable area 108, and the like are included.

  The background data area 94 stores background image data to be displayed on the game screen. The moving image object data area 96 stores image data of a moving image object that forms a moving image to be displayed on the game screen.

  The question movie object coordinate table data area 98 stores information relating to a movie object (hereinafter also referred to as “question movie object”) that forms a moving image to be displayed on the question screen. Specifically, position data (coordinate data) indicating a display position and an identification code of image data of an object displayed at the position indicated by the position data are registered at each display timing (for example, every frame). Yes. A state in which the problem moving image object moves on the problem screen is displayed based on the problem moving image object coordinate table data. When a plurality of problem moving image objects are displayed on the problem screen, data of each of the plurality of problem moving image objects is stored.

  In the comparative moving image object coordinate table data area 100, information relating to a moving image object (hereinafter also referred to as “comparative moving image object”) that forms a moving image to be displayed on the comparison screen is stored. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, for each display timing (for example, every frame), position data (coordinate data) indicating a display position and image data of an object displayed at the position indicated by the position data. An identification code is registered. In the comparative moving image object coordinate table data of this embodiment, correct / incorrect information indicating whether the comparative moving image object is a correct object or an incorrect object is registered in advance. Here, the comparison moving image object being a correct object means that the comparison moving image object has the same position and image as the corresponding problem moving image object. On the other hand, being an incorrect object means that the position or image of the comparative moving image object is different from the corresponding problem moving image object. (This wrong object is also referred to as an incorrect moving image object.) A state in which the comparative moving image object moves on the comparison screen is displayed based on the comparative moving image object coordinate table data. When displaying a plurality of comparative moving image objects on the comparison screen, data of each of the plurality of comparative moving image objects is stored. The example of FIG. 4 shows the content of data related to the comparative moving image object 1, and in this example, it is defined by the frame (display timing, for example, how many images are displayed per second. For example, 1 second. 60), etc.) At T300, the image data of the object has changed from the previous OBJ1 to OBJ2. OBJ2 is used until the image data of the object changes to the original OBJ1 at frame T500. From the frames T300 to T500, it can be seen that the comparative moving image object is different from the problem moving image object.

  The correct / incorrect information may be registered on the problem video object coordinate table data side. Alternatively, without registering the correct / incorrect information as data in advance, the problem video object coordinate table data is compared with the comparative video object coordinate table data, and the difference is determined by examining the difference in the image code or the position data. Good.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the timer count variable area 102 stores the timer count number controlled by the timer count program 74. The timer count is a number corresponding to the number of frames from a specific frame of display timing to another specific frame. The number of frames and the number of counts may be set the same, or one count may be set for every predetermined number of frames. In the score variable area 104, the score value of the player calculated by the score calculation program 92 is stored.

  In the wrong moving picture object coordinate storage variable area 106, when it is determined that the wrong moving picture object exists in the display screen, the position coordinate data is temporarily stored. Further, the touch input coordinate storage variable area 108 temporarily stores touch input data from the touch panel 22.

  In the game apparatus 10 of this embodiment, a game for comparing two images is played. For example, a problem screen presenting a problem is displayed on the first LCD 12, and a comparison screen to be compared with the problem screen is displayed on the second LCD 14 provided on the touch panel 22. The player compares the question screen and the comparison screen, and performs a touch operation on the image to be selected according to the result via the touch panel 22.

  In this embodiment, a mistake search game is played as an example of a game for comparing two images. FIG. 5 shows an example of a game screen when a mistake finding game is played. FIG. 5A shows a problem screen displayed on the LCD 12 and FIG. 5B shows a comparison displayed on the LCD 14. Show the screen. In FIG. 5, the question screen and the comparison screen are the same image, and on these screens, a background object 120 indicating the sun, a background object 122 indicating the ground, a background object 124 indicating the house, and a tree are shown as background images. Background objects 126 are respectively displayed at fixed positions. Furthermore, at this timing, a moving image object 128 representing a person is displayed at a predetermined position between the house 124 and the tree 126. The human 128 is a moving image, and moves in the game screen based on the above-described problem moving image object coordinate table data and comparative moving image object coordinate table data.

  Next, FIG. 6 shows an example of the game screen after FIG. In the problem screen of FIG. 6A and the comparison screen of FIG. 6B, the moving image objects 128 and 128a representing humans have moved to the right side of the tree 126, respectively. On the comparison screen, a moving image object (wearing a hat) 128a that is different from the moving image object 128 on the problem screen is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when a different image (wrong image) appears between the question screen and the comparison screen, the player includes his / her finger on the touch panel 22 at a position corresponding to the different image 128a. It is required to select or point out the different image 128a by touching with the stick 24 or the like.

  Next, FIG. 7 shows an example of the game screen after FIG. In the question screen of FIG. 7A, the question moving image object 128 has moved further to the right. On the other hand, in the comparison screen of FIG. 7B, the comparative moving image object 128a is further moved to the right while wearing a hat and remaining different from the problem moving image object 128.

  As described above, in this embodiment, a moving image is used as an image that presents a difference or an error. Therefore, while the difference appears in the corresponding moving images 128 and 128a on the question screen and the comparison screen, the player can move the difference video on the touch panel 22 as shown in FIG. It is required to keep touching the moving image 128a by moving the stick 24 or the like while following the movement locus of the image 128a.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of the game screen after FIG. On the question screen in FIG. 8A, the question moving image object 128 is moved further to the right. On the other hand, in the comparison screen of FIG. 8B, the comparative moving image object 128a is further moved to the right, but there, it is returned to the original comparative moving image object 128 that is the same image as the problem moving image object 128. . As shown in FIG. 8B, when the difference or error between the problem screen and the comparison screen disappears, the player needs to release the stick 24 and the like from the touch panel 22 and stop the touch operation.

  In the game apparatus 10 of this embodiment, when a difference appears between the question screen and the comparison screen as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the position data of the moving image 128a to be selected by the player is stored in the game. Is temporarily stored in the wrong moving image object coordinate storage variable area 106 in accordance with the display timing of the. When there is a touch input from the touch panel 22, the position data stored in the incorrect moving image object coordinate storage variable area 106 and a different image stored in the touch input coordinate storage variable area 108 are displayed. The current position data is compared to determine whether the selection or indication by the player is successful. This comparison is sequentially performed, for example, for one frame or every predetermined number of frames. Therefore, it is possible to cope with comparison of moving images.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, two images can be compared in response to a change in image display, and a game corresponding to the comparison of images including moving images can be played. Since the touch panel 22 formed on the display screen is used as an input device for pointing out the result of the comparison, in a game in which two images are compared, a new operation as if directly touching the moving image 128a and its operation Enjoyment can be provided, and game play utilizing the characteristics of the touch panel 22 is made possible. Further, since the position of the moving image 128a to be pointed out can be compared with the input position of the touch panel 22 one by one, a difference occurs at a predetermined timing as shown in FIGS. By performing the questions in such a way that the player does not, the player can perform a touch operation on the moving image 128a while giving the player new expectations such as when a difference or mistake occurs or disappears. In addition, it is also possible to respond to an indication of a momentary difference, and an interesting playing experience can be brought about.

  An example of the game operation of the game apparatus 10 of this embodiment is shown in FIG. When the game apparatus 10 is turned on, the game program and data are loaded from the memory card 28 into the RAM 48. The CPU core 42 executes this game program to start game processing, and executes initial settings in the first step S1 in FIG. 9 to set initial values for various variables, flags, and the like. Next, in step S <b> 3, the CPU core 42 executes timer count processing, updates the timer count variable, and writes it in the timer count variable area 102.

  Subsequently, in step S5, the CPU core 42 executes a problem screen display process. An example of this process is shown in detail in FIG. In the first step S21 in FIG. 10, the CPU core 42 executes basic background and object display processing. Thereby, the image data of the problem screen in which each background object is arranged at each position based on the background data or the like is generated. For example, as shown in FIG. 5A, background objects 120, 122, 124 and 126 are displayed on the question screen.

  Next, in step S23, the CPU core 42 loads the position data (X, Y coordinates) of the problem moving image object of the display timing from the problem moving image object coordinate table data based on the timer count number of the timer count variable area 102. To do.

  In step S25, the CPU core 42 determines whether or not the problem moving image object exists in the display screen based on the read position data of the problem moving image object. If “YES” in the step S25, the CPU core 42 executes a display process of the problem moving image object in a succeeding step S27. Thereby, based on the moving image object data, the problem moving image object coordinate table data, and the like, image data of the problem screen in which the problem moving image object is drawn at a predetermined position is generated. The problem screen generated in this way is displayed on the LCD 12. When step S27 ends or if “NO” in the step S25, the problem screen display process is ended, and the process returns to the step S7 in FIG.

  Returning to FIG. 9, in step S7, the CPU core 42 executes a comparison screen display process. An example of this process is shown in detail in FIG. In the first step S31 of FIG. 11, the CPU core 42 executes basic background and object display processing. Thereby, image data of a comparison screen in which each background object is arranged at each position based on the background data or the like is generated. For example, as shown in FIG. 5B, background objects 120, 122, 124, and 126 are displayed on the comparison screen.

  Next, in step S33, based on the timer count number in the timer count variable area 102, the CPU core 42 loads the position data (X, Y coordinates) of the comparative moving image object at the display timing from the comparative moving image object coordinate table data. To do. Further, the correctness information of the comparative moving image object is also read out.

  In step S35, the CPU core 42 determines whether or not an erroneous moving image object exists in the display screen based on the read position data and correct / incorrect information of the comparative moving image object. If “YES” in this step S35, that is, if the display position of the comparative video object is within the display range and the comparative video object is different from the problem video object, in the subsequent step S37. The CPU core 42 registers (stores) the position data (X, Y coordinates) of the wrong moving picture object in the wrong moving picture object coordinate storage variable area 106 of the RAM 48.

  In step S39, the CPU core 42 executes a display process of the comparative moving image object. Thereby, based on the moving image object data, the comparative moving image object coordinate table data, and the like, image data of a comparison screen in which the comparative moving image object is drawn at a predetermined position is generated. The comparison screen generated in this way is displayed on the LCD 14.

  On the other hand, if “NO” in the step S35, the CPU core 42 determines whether or not a correct moving image object exists in the display screen in a succeeding step S41. If “YES” in this step S41, that is, if the display position of the comparative video object is within the display range and the comparative video object is the same as the problem video object, the process proceeds to step S39. As described above, the display process of the comparative moving image object is executed. When step S39 ends, the comparison screen display process ends, and the process returns to step S9 in FIG.

  On the other hand, if “NO” in the step S41, the comparison moving image object is not present in the display screen, so that the comparison moving image object display processing in the step S39 is not performed and the comparison screen displaying process is ended. In this case, the comparison screen without the comparison moving image object generated in step S31 is displayed on the LCD.

  Returning to FIG. 9, in step S <b> 9, the CPU core 42 executes touch panel input processing. An example of this touch panel input process is shown in detail in FIG. In the first step S51 of FIG. 12, the CPU core 42 determines whether or not there is a touch input at this display timing. For example, it is determined whether or not position data of touch input data is stored in the touch input coordinate storage variable area 108.

  If “YES” in the step S 51, the CPU core 42 determines whether or not the coordinates of the incorrect moving image object are registered in the incorrect moving image object coordinate storage variable area 106 of the RAM 48 in a subsequent step S 53.

  If “YES” in the step S53, the CPU core 42 in a subsequent step S55, the position data (X, Y coordinates) of the touch position when the erroneous moving image object is displayed and the position of the display position of the erroneous moving image object. Comparison with the data (X, Y coordinates) is performed to examine the relationship between the two. In step S57, the CPU core 42 determines whether or not the difference between the position data of the touch input data and the position data of the wrong moving image object is within a certain range as a result of the comparison.

  If “YES” in this step S57, it means that the player has touched the wrong moving image object well. Therefore, in step S59, the CPU core 42 regards the touch input as “correct” and adds, for example, a constant value. In this manner, new score data is calculated and stored in the score variable area 104, and the player's score is displayed at a predetermined position on the question screen or the comparison screen. When step S59 ends, the process proceeds to step S65.

  On the other hand, if “NO” in the step S57, it means that the player has not been able to touch the wrong moving image object well. Therefore, in the step S63, the CPU core 42 regards the touch input as “incorrect answer”. For example, new score data is calculated by subtracting a certain value and stored in the score variable area 104, and the score of the player is displayed at a predetermined position on the question screen or the comparison screen. When step S63 ends, the process proceeds to step S65.

  On the other hand, if “NO” in the step S53, that is, if there is a touch input even though the wrong moving image object is not displayed, the operation by the player is incorrect, so the process proceeds to the step S63, As described above, the evaluation process for “incorrect answer” is performed.

  On the other hand, if “NO” in the step S 51, that is, if there is no touch input, in a subsequent step S 61, the CPU core 42 registers the coordinates of the incorrect moving image object in the incorrect moving image object coordinate storage variable area 106 of the RAM 48. It is judged whether it is done.

  If “YES” in this step S61, that is, if there is no touch input even though the wrong moving image object is displayed, the player has not been able to point out an error, so the process proceeds to the step S63. Then, as described above, the evaluation process for “incorrect answer” is performed.

  On the other hand, if “NO” in the step S61, that is, if the wrong moving image object is not displayed and there is no touch input, the process returns to the step S11 in FIG. 9 as it is.

  In step S65, the CPU core 42 clears the position data (X, Y coordinates) of the wrong moving picture object registered in the wrong moving picture object coordinate storage variable area 106 of the RAM 48 for processing at the next progress timing. . Then, the touch panel input process is terminated, and the process returns to step S11 in FIG.

  Returning to FIG. 9, in step S11, the CPU core 42 determines whether or not to end the presentation of the problem. For example, the problem ends when a certain amount of time has elapsed or when all the differences have been pointed out. Until “YES” is determined in step S11, the processing from step S3 to step S9 is repeated, the game for comparing the two screens is advanced, and the player is made to play this comparison game.

  If “YES” in the step S11, the CPU core 42 calculates a final score in the subsequent step S13, displays the final score on the LCD 12 or the LCD 14, and ends the game process.

  In the above-described embodiment, the position data of the wrong moving image object and the position data of the touch input data are sequentially compared at each display timing. However, in the other embodiments, the position data of the wrong moving image object and the touch data are touched. The input data is stored in the RAM 48 for a predetermined number of frames, for example, and the data for the predetermined number of frames is compared later to compare the locus of the moving image to be pointed out with the locus of the touch operation. May be. Also in this case, it is possible to cope with comparison of images including moving images.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, as an example of a game for comparing two images, a case where a mistake finding game is played in which a player selects a different image has been described. The game is not limited to the above, and any game may be used as long as it allows selection of moving images having a predetermined correspondence relationship between two images. For example, it may be a comparison game in which the player touches the same, similar or similar moving images on two screens on which basically different images are displayed. Alternatively, it may be a comparison game that allows a player to select a moving image indicating information (for example, name, meaning, reading, etc.) of a moving image on one screen on the other screen.

  Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the first LCD 12 and the second LCD 14 are arranged side by side in the vertical direction, but the arrangement of the two LCDs can be changed as appropriate. For example, in the game apparatus 10 of another embodiment, the first LCD 12 and the second LCD 14 may be arranged side by side in the horizontal direction.

  Furthermore, in each of the embodiments described above, two LCDs are provided, but the number of LCDs can be changed as appropriate. For example, in the game apparatus 10 according to another embodiment, one vertically long LCD is provided, and the touch panel 22 is provided on one side of the upper and lower divided areas so that two images are displayed in the respective areas. Alternatively, a single horizontally long LCD may be provided, and the touch panel 22 may be provided on either side of the left and right areas so that two images are displayed in the respective areas.
