(Building object placement operation)
FIG. 5 is an example displayed on the screen of the user terminal 10-1 owned by the user A. As illustrated, a virtual space is displayed on the screen. Virtual space that put the present embodiment has a virtual plane 200. An object 301 can be arranged on the virtual plane 200. In the illustrated example, buildings and road objects 301 are already arranged. Examples of the object 301 include commercial facilities, roads, nature, and the like for buildings such as buildings and houses, but are not limited thereto.

  A tab 210 for displaying a menu area (described later) is displayed in the screen. The tab 210 is arranged at the screen end (lower end) so as not to hinder the arrangement operation. When the tab 210 is selected (tapped), the menu area 220 is popped up (slided in) as shown in FIGS. The menu area 220 has a plurality of sub areas 221. A plurality of sub-areas 221 can be switched by a tab 222. There are five types of tabs 222 in this embodiment: “ALL”, “house”, “commercial”, “electricity”, and “road”, and all objects 301 are stored in the “ALL” tab. Each object 301 is stored in the “residential”, “commercial”, “electricity”, and “road” tabs based on attributes associated in advance. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, an object 301 related to a commercial facility is displayed in the “Commerce” tab. Note that the object 301 that cannot be displayed in the sub-area 221 can be displayed by selecting (tapping) the left and right sliders.

The object 303 displayed in the sub area 221 can be arranged by performing a drag operation from the sub area 221 to the virtual plane 200. In the present embodiment, after an object selection operation (tap operation on object 303), an object movement start operation (operation to move a finger while tapping object 303) and an object movement end operation (virtual operation) The placement operation of the object 303 on the virtual plane 200 is performed by performing a drag operation including an operation of releasing a finger at an arbitrary point on the plane 200. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, when the object 303 is tapped and moved in the direction of the arrow, the “movement mode” is set as shown in FIG. In the movement mode, a process for hiding the virtual space and the menu area 220 is performed, the display indicating that the movement mode is set, the status information 370 of itself, the object 303 that is the object of the arrangement operation, and the arrangement already only already object 301 displays associated with these as well (icons 331 to 333, etc.) are other factors appear to hide. Thereby, the user can concentrate on arrangement | positioning operation. It should be noted that the placement operation can be performed more efficiently by hiding the display indicating the movement mode and the status information 370 of the self. Note that an already placed object 301 can be identified by performing a transparency process (translucent process) or the like.

As shown in FIG. 9, when the object 303 being dragged is placed at an arbitrary position on the virtual plane 200 (movement end operation: an operation of releasing a finger at the position), the object 303 is temporarily placed on the virtual plane 200. The Icons 331 to 333 for operating the object 303 are incidentally displayed in the vicinity of the temporarily arranged object 303. The icon 331 cancels the building placement operation. When the icon 331 is selected, the object 303 is stored again in the menu area 220. The icon 332 is for rotating the building. This makes it possible to efficiently use-than and glade virtual plane 200 as can be seen information aspects of the object. Finally, the icon 333 is for determining the arrangement location of the object 303. That is, the location of the object 303 temporarily placed at a desired location is determined. When the icon 333 is selected, the menu area 220 is displayed again as shown in FIG.

The series of operations from FIG. 7 to FIG. 10 can be summarized as follows.
(1) Object selection operation (tap operation of object 303): FIG.
(2) Object movement start operation (operation to move a finger while tapping the object 303): FIG.
(3) Object movement end operation (operation to release a finger at an arbitrary point on the virtual plane 200): finger mark on the upper side in FIG. 9 (4) placement confirmation operation (selection of icon 333): finger on the upper side in FIG. Includes four marks.

In the above-described embodiment, the menu area 220 is displayed again when the operation (4) is performed. However, in order to complete a more speedy deployment operation, (1) a menu area 220 when there operation is not displayed, and re-display the menu area 220 when there is an operation of (3) Also good.

  In the present embodiment, a basic menu 250 as shown in FIG. 11 is displayed. The basic menu 250 includes a “Copy Current Town” menu for copying the current arrangement state on the virtual plane, a “Delete All” menu for resetting the current arrangement state, and a current arrangement state on the virtual plane. At least a “Save” menu is included. For example, when “Delete All” is selected, the placement operation can be performed again from the beginning as shown in FIG. When “Save” is selected, the data can be saved in either “Data 1 (location information 1)” or “Data 2 (location information 2)” in the warehouse menu as shown in FIG. Or reflected in the progress of the game (described later).

  In this way, the placement information of the virtual space for which the placement operation has been completed is managed by the game server 50 (see FIG. 2) in association with each user, as shown in FIG.

(Progress of battle game)
As described above, in this game, objects are arranged in a common game space, and the winning or losing is determined by the number of total population after a predetermined time (see FIG. 1). A “population” parameter is associated with each object, and the parameter increases with the passage of time in the game. Winning or losing is determined by the total population of each user after a predetermined time from the start of the game.

  The placement operation by each user is processed according to a flow as shown in FIG. That is, when the user A performs an arrangement operation, arrangement information is transmitted from the user terminal 10-1 to the game server 50 (S101). The arrangement information includes user terminal information, information on the arranged objects, and position information in the arranged game space (coordinate information on the grid on the plane). The game server 50 updates the game space based on the arrangement information (S501). Furthermore, the updated game space information is transmitted to the user terminal 10-1 of the user A and the other user terminals 10-2 to 10-4. The user terminals 10-1 to 10-4 that have received the game space information (S102, S201) update the display (screen display) of the game space based on the game space information.

  In this embodiment, first, an initial area (for example, area 200a for user A) is assigned to each user. The user performs the above-described placement operation (initial placement operation) on the initial region within a predetermined time limit. At this time, the progress of the in-game time is temporarily stopped. Thereby, each user can arrange | position after developing a strategy.

  In the present embodiment, since the information on the placement operation in the initial area is shared with each user, the users can confirm the status of the placement operation in the initial area. Thereby, the initial placement operation can be performed more strategically. When the time limit elapses, the in-game time advances and the battle game is started.

According to the first to fourth embodiments described above, a new user experience can be achieved by adding a team competition element to a strategy game (a so-called camp game) and also adding a town building element. as possible out to provide a simulation game that was.

  The above-described embodiments are merely examples for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention can be changed and improved without departing from the gist thereof, and it is needless to say that the present invention includes equivalents thereof.
