Next, each process of the game machine 1 will be described.
(Billing process)
First, the billing process of the game machine 1 will be described.
FIG. 7 (FIGS. 7-1 and 7-2) is a flowchart showing the charging process of the game machine 1 of the present embodiment.
First, in step S (hereinafter simply referred to as “S”) 10, when the player P inserts a coin into the coin insertion slot 71 to start playing, a detection signal is output to the control unit 50, and the control unit 50 continues. Start processing.

In S20, the charge determination unit 51 determines whether or not the play mode selection button 72 is operated and two-player play is selected. If it is determined that the two-player play has been selected (S20: YES), the charging determination unit 51 proceeds to S30. On the other hand, when it is determined that the two-player play has not been selected, that is, when it is determined that the one-player play has been selected (S20: NO), the charging determination unit 51 proceeds to S21, and the play progress control unit 55 Start a one-player game.
In this embodiment, one player can play with one coin and two players can play with two coins. When two-player play is selected, the player P inserts two coins. It is necessary to put in the mouth 71.

  In S30, the play condition setting unit 52 sets the life values L1 and L2 (see FIG. 3) of the player P. In the present embodiment, a life value “100” is set. The play condition setting unit 52 stores the set life values L1 and L2 in the storage unit 40.

In S40, the billing determination unit 51 determines whether or not an additional coin has been inserted. As described above, in the case of two coins in a two-player game, the charging determination unit 51 determines whether or not three or more coins have been inserted. If it is determined that an additional coin has been inserted (S40: YES), the charging determination unit 51 proceeds to S50. On the other hand, if it is determined that no additional coin has been inserted (S40: NO), the process proceeds to S60. move on. Note that the player P may operate his / her play mode selection button 72 after inserting coins in order to accept the play fee. Accordingly, the billing determination unit 51 can determine for each player P which of the players P1 and P2 has inserted a coin.
In S50, the play condition setting unit 52 adds “100” to the life values L1 and L2 of the players P1 and P2 because there is an additional coin at the start of play, and sets the total life values L1 and L2 to “200”. And the play conditions for the players P1 and P2 are set.

By the way, in the conventional game machine, when an additional coin is inserted while the continuation screen prompting the continuation play is finished and the play is displayed, the life value is newly set. For this reason, in the conventional game machine, the play is interrupted, and the player is kept waiting during the continue process, that is, until the play is resumed.
On the other hand, the game machine 1 adds a life value to the life values L1 and L2 when an additional coin is inserted at the start of the game. That is, since the life values L1 and L2 for continuous play are given in advance, a play according to the coin insertion amount can be performed without waiting for the continue process. In addition, the store or the like where the game machine 1 is installed can shorten the play time and improve the rotation rate of the player P.
In addition, the game machine 1 increases the life value of another player P (P2 or P1) different from the player P (P1 or P2) that has inserted coins, thereby allowing another player P (P2 or P1) to be different. Also set advantageous play conditions. For this reason, since the game machine 1 can give the benefit of coin insertion to other players P (P2 or P1), the merit of charging to the player P can be increased, and the insertion of additional coins to the player P is possible. Can be urged well.

  In S60, the play progress control unit 55 reads out the life values L1 and L2 set in the play condition setting unit 52 from the storage unit 40, and advances the two-player play. The play progress control unit 55 displays the life values L1 and L2 of each player P on the main monitor 3, and controls the life value to decrease by L1 and L2 when the player P is attacked by the enemy character C. When the values L1 and L2 become zero, the play of the player P is finished.

  In S <b> 70, the charging determination unit 51 determines whether or not an additional coin has been inserted during the play based on the output of the coin insertion slot 71. If it is determined that additional coins have been inserted during play (S70: YES), the billing determination unit 51 proceeds to S80, whereas if it is determined that no additional coins have been inserted during play (S70). : NO), the process proceeds to S90.

  In S80, the play condition setting unit 52 adds a life value “100” to the player P who has inserted coins, and updates the play condition. Furthermore, the play condition setting unit 52 adds a life value not only to the player P who has inserted coins but also to other players P who have not inserted coins. As for the life value to be added to the other player P, “100” may be given in the same manner as the player P that has inserted coins, or “50”, which is half that value, may be added. And the play progress control part 55 progresses a two-player play based on the set life value L1, L2 in the subsequent processing.

Thus, the game machine 1 can give the benefit to other players P not only when the play is started but also when an additional coin is inserted while the play is in progress.
The play condition setting unit 52 may set the following conditions for the insertion of additional coins during play.
(1) The play condition setting unit 52 may set an appropriate condition for the play situation when the charge determination unit 51 determines that an additional coin has been inserted from the player P while the play is in progress. For example, when the remaining number of bullets is small, it may be set to replenish the number of bullets, or when the number of enemy characters C is large, it may be set to execute a special move. The game machine 1 can prompt the player to insert coins during play by setting appropriate conditions for the play situation in this way.

(2) The play condition setting unit 52 may change the setting of the play conditions according to the play results of the player P and the play results of other players P. In this case, a more advantageous condition can be set for the player P with a low play score, and the condition can be set in consideration of the skill of the player P. For example, for a player P with a low play score, the total life value after the grant may be “150” regardless of whether or not the player P has entered a coin. Thereby, the game machine 1 can improve the feeling that only the player P with a low skill level does not insert coins and is playing in cooperation.

  In S90, the play progress control unit 55 determines whether or not the play of the player P1 is finished when the life value L1 of the player P1 becomes zero. When it is determined that the play of the player P1 has ended (S90: YES), the play progress control unit 55 proceeds to S91. On the other hand, when it is determined that the play of the player P1 has not ended (S90: NO), go to S100.

  In S91 (FIG. 7-2), the play progress control unit 55 displays on the main monitor 3 a screen that prompts the player P1 to insert coins while continuing to play the player P2. The play progress control unit 55 displays, for example, the characters “Please insert coins to continue playing” on the main monitor 3.

  In S92, the billing determination unit 51 determines whether or not there is a coin inserted by the player P1 by checking a detection signal output when the player P1 inserts a coin into the coin insertion slot 71. If it is determined that there is a coin inserted by the player P1 (S92: YES), the charging determination unit 51 proceeds to S93. On the other hand, if it is determined that the player P1 has not inserted a coin (S92: NO), the charging determination unit 51 proceeds to S94, and the play progress control unit 55 does not continue the player P1, and the player P2 Only play forward.

In S93, the play condition setting unit 52 sets the life values L1 and L2 of the players P1 and P2. The play condition setting unit 52 gives a life value “100” to the player P1 (that is, the total life value “100”), while the player P2 also has a life value “50” as the life value L2 being played. Add
In S94, the play progress control unit 55 continues to play based on the life values L1 and L2 set in S93, and repeats the processing from S70 (FIG. 7-1).

  As described above, when the game machine 1 determines that the play of the player P1 is finished and the coin is inserted, the game machine 1 sets a play condition for the replay for the player P1, and for other players P2. Also set advantageous play conditions. For this reason, it is possible to create a situation in which the player P2 who continues playing prompts the player P1 who has finished playing to insert coins.

In S100, the play progress control unit 55 determines whether or not the play of the player P2 is finished when the life value L2 of the player P2 becomes zero. When the play progress control unit 55 determines that the play of the player P2 has ended (S100: YES), the play progress control unit 55 proceeds to S101, whereas when it determines that the play of the player P2 has not ended (S100: NO), the process from S70 is repeated.
The processing from 101 to S105 (FIG. 7-2) is the same as the processing from S91 to S95. That is, in S101 to S105, the control unit 50 performs the process performed on the player P1 in the above S91 to S95 on the player P2, while the process performed on the player P2 in the above S91 to S95. And for the player P1.

  In this way, the game machine 1 allows not only the player P but also other players P playing continuously when the player P of the players P1 and P2 who has finished the game inserts coins. However, advantageous settings can be made and other players P can also benefit. By paying in this way, when another player P finishes playing after receiving a benefit, he / she works on the psychology that he / she will have to charge another player P once he / she has benefited once. Other players P can be prompted to insert coins.

(Door drive processing)
Next, the door drive process of the game machine 1 will be described.
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the door driving process of the game machine 1 of the present embodiment.
FIG. 9 is a plan view (XY plan view) showing the positional relationship between the enemy character C and the door 6 in the order of play progress when the enemy character C of the present embodiment attacks the door 6.
FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the timing when the enemy character C of this embodiment attacks.
In addition, the play progress control part 55 displays the positional relationship shown in FIG. For this reason, even if the enemy character C is displayed behind the door 6 and the enemy character C cannot be visually recognized, the player P confirms the presence of the enemy character C by checking the display on the sub monitor 4. can do.

  First, in S200, the door control unit 54 determines whether or not to close the door 6. When the door 6 is closed, the play progress control unit 55 displays on the main monitor 3 in a state where the player P gets into the elevator E as the play progresses (that is, the player P looks at each floor from the inside of the door 6). Is a scene of moving to another floor. In this case, the play progress control unit 55 displays the outdoor image of the elevator E (that is, the indoor image on the floor) and the image of the enemy character outside the elevator E. When it is determined that the door 6 is to be closed (S200: YES), the door control unit 54 proceeds to S210. On the other hand, when it is determined that the door 6 is not to be closed (S200: NO), this determination is repeated. Do.

In S <b> 210, the door control unit 54 determines the position of the door 6 based on the output of the door position detection unit 31.
In S <b> 220, the play progress control unit 55 performs control so that the enemy character C starts an attack on the door 6. The play progress control unit 55 changes the attack mode of the enemy character C based on the position determination of the door 6 in S210 or S270 described later.

For example, the attack of the enemy character C has the following modes.
FIGS. 9A and 9B are scenes in which the enemy character C approaches the door 6 while the door 6 is closing.
FIG. 9C shows a scene in which the enemy character C is about to open the door 6 from the state where the door 6 is almost in the closed position.
FIG. 9D shows a scene in which the enemy character C moves backward from the door 6 when the player P attacks the enemy character C.
FIG. 9 (e) is a scene in which the physical strength of the retreated enemy character C is restored and the enemy character C suddenly approaches the door 6.
FIG. 9F is a scene in which the enemy character C whose physical strength has been restored is trying to pry the door 6 in a state of being almost in the closed position again.
In addition, the play progress control unit 55 displays the screen so that the enemy character C collides with the door 6. Thus, the game machine 1 can reflect the opening / closing position of the door 6 in play.

When there are a plurality of enemy characters C, in order to indicate to the player P which enemy character C will attack, the play progress control unit 55 starts the attack as shown in FIG. Depending on the time, the color and shading of the enemy are changed (the enemy character C shown in FIG. 10 is not a monster but a warrior).
Returning to FIG. 8, the play progress control unit 55 stores the degree to which the door 6 is attacked and the door 6 is destroyed in the storage unit 40, and proceeds to S <b> 230.

  In S230, the door control unit 54 confirms the degree to which the door 6 of the storage unit 40 is destroyed, and determines to what position the door 6 is closed based on the door opening / closing position table 42 shown in FIG. For example, if the door 6 is not broken during the play, it is determined that the elevator E is driven to the fully closed state, and the left door 6L and the right door 6R are affected by the impact from the enemy character C. If only one of them is broken, it is determined that only the broken door is driven to close. As will be described later, the player 6 may destroy the door 6.

In S <b> 240, the door control unit 54 confirms the state of the enemy character C and information on the degree of destruction of the door 6 in the storage unit 40, and reads the opening / closing speed and operation content of the door 6 from the door operation table 43. .
In S250, the door control unit 54 controls the door driving unit 30 based on the door opening / closing position table 42 read out in S230 and the door operation table 43 read out in S240 to drive the door 6 to open / close.

For example, in the scenes shown in FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B, the enemy character C is away from the door 6 and does not attack the door 6, so the door control unit 54 uses the door action table shown in FIG. The information of the row 43a is read from 43 (S240), and the door 6 is smoothly driven to close.
In the scene shown in FIG. 9C, the enemy character C is prying open the left door 6L, and on the other hand, shaking the right door 6R to attack. Therefore, for the left door 6L, the door control unit 54 reads the information in the row 43b from the door operation table 43 shown in FIG. 6 (S240), and opens the door 6 that was being closed at a rapid speed. On the other hand, for the right door 6R, the information in the row 43c is read (S240), the closing operation of the door 6 is stopped, and the rattle is vibrated. Further, in this scene, since the player P is aiming at the enemy character C, the door control unit 54 reads the information in the row 43d (S240), and performs the above-described driving (opening motion and vibration) and the enemy character C. In accordance with the damage given to the door, the driving is performed such that the door 6 is slowly closed.

In the scenes shown in FIGS. 9D and 9E, the enemy character C is away from the door 6 and does not attack the door 6 as in FIGS. 9A and 9B. The information in the row 43a is read (S240), and the left door 6L is smoothly closed. Since the right door 6R is already in the closed position, the door control unit 54 does not open / close the right door 6R.
In the scene shown in FIG. 9 (f), contrary to the scene shown in FIG. 9 (c), the enemy character C pry open the right door 6R, and on the other hand, shakes the left door 6L to attack. For this reason, the door control part 54 performs control opposite to the said FIG.9 (c) regarding operation | movement of the right door 6R and the left door 6L.

Returning to FIG. 8, in S <b> 260, the door control unit 54 determines whether or not the close button 73 is continuously hit by the player P (for example, about three times per second). When the door control unit 54 determines that the close button 73 is continuously hit (S260: YES), the door control unit 54 proceeds to S270, and when it determines that the close button 73 is not repeatedly hit (S260: NO). ), Go to S280.
In S270, the door control unit 54 controls the door driving unit 30 so as to accelerate the closing speed of the door 6.

In this manner, the game machine 1 can cause the player P to repeatedly hit the close button 73 and close the door 6 when the enemy character C approaching the enemy character C is attacking the door 6. As a result, even a light user with a low skill level can be enthusiastic about play to try to get out of the crisis as soon as possible by closing the door 6.
On the other hand, a core user with high skill can aim at a high score and snip the enemy character C to earn points without closing the door 6.

  In S280, the door control unit 54 determines whether or not the door 6 is in the closed position based on the output of the door position detection unit 31. When it is determined that the door 6 is in the closed position (S280: YES), the door control unit 54 proceeds to S290 and ends the process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the door 6 is not in the closed position (S280). : YES), the process from S220 is repeated.

  As described above, the game machine 1 makes the main monitor 3 physically invisible, and causes the player P to operate the gun-type operation units 10 and 20, the close button 73, and the like, thereby giving a sense of presence and tension. A game of a new aspect can be provided. Further, the game machine 1 can improve the sense of presence, tension, and the like given to the player P because the door 6 opens and closes and the area covering the main monitor 3 changes. Furthermore, the game machine 1 can provide a gun game of a new mode that prevents an attack from the enemy character C using the door 6.

(Landing process)
Next, the landing process of the aim determination unit 53 will be described.
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the landing process of the present embodiment.
FIG. 12 is a plan view showing a state where the player P is aiming in the present embodiment.
FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a display on the main monitor 3 when the elevator E is located across the upper and lower floors in the virtual space S of the present embodiment.
First, in S300, the aim determination unit 53 determines whether or not the triggers 12 and 22 are pulled according to the outputs of the gun-type operation units 10 and 20. If it is determined that the triggers 12 and 22 are pulled (S300: YES), the aiming determination unit 53 proceeds to S310, whereas if it is determined that the triggers 12 and 22 are not pulled (S300: NO) ) This process is repeated until the triggers 12 and 22 are pulled.

In S310, the aim determination unit 53 controls the light receiving units 11 and 21 of the gun-type operation units 10 and 20 to which the triggers 12 and 22 are pulled, and acquires light reception information.
In S320, the aim determination unit 53 determines whether or not the light-emitting unit 5 is included in the light reception information, so that the door 6 is on the front side Y1 of the light-emitting unit 5, and the gun-type operation units 10 and 20 transmit the light-emitting unit. It is determined whether or not 5 is hidden behind the door 6. That is, when the gun-type operation units 10 and 20 are in front of the door 6, the light-emitting unit 5 is hidden by the door 6 and is not received by the light-receiving units 11 and 21. If the aim determination unit 53 determines that the light-emitting unit 5 is included in the light reception information (S320: YES), the aiming determination unit 53 proceeds to S321, and determines that the gun-type operation units 10 and 20 are not in front of the door 6. In the case (S320: NO), the process proceeds to S330.

For example, in the state shown in FIG. 12, none of the light emitting units 5 is included in the light receiving range of the light receiving unit 11 of the gun-type operation unit 10 of the player P1. For this reason, the aim determination unit 53 determines that the gun-type operation unit 10 is in front of the door 6 (S320: YES).
As described above, the game machine 1 can determine which of the light emitting sections 5 is included in the imaging data, so that the aim is set on the door 6, so there is no need to analyze the positional information of the light emitting section 5, and the gun Determination when the mold operation unit 10 is in front of the door 6 can be performed by simple processing.

On the other hand, the light receiving range of the light receiving unit 21 of the gun-type operation unit 20 of the player P2 includes the light emitting unit 5 arranged on the leftmost side X1. For this reason, the aim determination unit 53 does not determine that the gun-type operation unit 20 is in front of the door 6 (S320: YES), and proceeds to S330.
In this way, the game machine 1 arranges the door 6 on the front side Y1 of the main monitor 3, so that the player P2 uses the right door 6R as a shield or is displayed on the back side Y2 from the left door 6L. The enemy character C can be attacked. Further, even if the player P2 leans over and places the gun-type operation unit 20 on the back side Y2 from the door 6 or looks into the back side Y2 from the door 6, the player P2 attacks the enemy character C. Good.

Returning to FIG. 11, in S321, the aim determination unit 53 analyzes the position information of the light emitting unit 5 based on the received light information, and determines the aim of the gun type operation units 10 and 20 with the triggers 12 and 22 pulled. .
Here, if the aim determination unit 53 determines that the enemy character C is aimed, the play progress control unit 55 displays the player character C on the main monitor 3 so that the enemy character C is damaged, and displays the player. Add points to P. The play progress control unit 55 stores the degree of damage of the enemy character C in the storage unit 40.
On the other hand, when the aiming determination unit 53 determines that the aim is set on a structure such as a window, the play progress control unit 55 performs a process of damaging the structure and displays it on the main monitor 3. .
And the play progress control part 55 progresses to S340, and complete | finishes this landing process.

In S330, each control unit performs a landing process on the door 6 as follows.
The play progress control unit 55 controls the impact sound generating unit 32 to produce a realistic landing on the door 6.
The door control unit 54 controls the door driving unit 30 to vibrate rattling. Moreover, the door control part 54 increases the extent to which the door 6 was destroyed, and reflects it in the door drive process mentioned above (refer said S230, S240, etc.).
When the process of each control unit is completed, the play progress control unit 55 proceeds to S350 and ends this landing process.

  Note that, when the player P is in the elevator E and the door 6 is opened and the lift button 74 is operated by the player P, the play progress control unit 55 causes the elevator E to move up and down in the virtual space S. Then, as shown in FIG. 13, the upper floor room is displayed on the main monitor 3 in the upper range of the main monitor 3, and the lower floor room is displayed in the main monitor 3 in the lower range of the main monitor 3. To display. Accordingly, the player P can select and attack the enemy character C on the upper floor and the enemy character C on the lower floor.

  As described above, the game machine 1 sets play conditions that are advantageous to other players P that are different from the charged player P. Therefore, the player P can greatly increase the merit of inserting additional coins and insert additional coins. Can be urged to the player P well.
