  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.

  First, a game system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The game system 10 includes a server device 11 and a plurality of terminal devices 12. In FIG. 1, only one terminal device 12 is shown for the sake of simplicity. The server device 11 provides a game to the terminal device 12 owned by each user. The server device 11 and the terminal device 12 are communicably connected via a network 13 such as the Internet.

  Here, an outline of the game according to the present embodiment will be described. The game according to the present embodiment is a game in which a game is played using a game medium. The game medium is electronic data used in the game, and includes any medium such as a card, an item, a character, and an avatar. The game medium is electronic data that can be acquired, held, used, managed, exchanged, combined, strengthened, sold, discarded, and / or gifted by the user in the game. It is not limited to those specified in the specification.

  Hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, “game media owned by the user” refers to game media associated with the user ID of the user. Further, “giving a game medium to a user” indicates that the game medium is associated with a user ID. Further, “discarding the game media owned by the user” means that the association between the user ID and the game media is canceled. Further, “consuming a game medium owned by a user” indicates that some effect or influence can be generated according to the cancellation of the association between the user ID and the game medium. In addition, “sale of game media owned by the user” means that the association between the user ID and the game media is canceled and another game media (for example, virtual currency or item) is associated with the user ID. It shows that. “Transfer the game medium owned by user A to user B” means that the association between the user ID of user A and the game medium is canceled and the game medium is associated with the user ID of user B. Indicates.

  The game according to the present embodiment generally includes a first game part, a second game part, and a third game part.

  In the first game part, the user places a virtual object in the first virtual space. Here, one or more game media (first game media) such as a turret, a barracks, a wall, and a character are associated with the object. Then, the arrangement of the first game media in the second virtual space is determined according to the arrangement of the objects in the first virtual space. As described above, the first game part is a game part that generates information necessary for setting the second virtual space in which the first game medium is arranged in accordance with the arrangement of the objects in the first virtual space. .

  Further, in the second game part, the user terminal device 12 sends information necessary for setting the second virtual space generated by the terminal device 12 of another user who executed the first game part via the server device 11. Receive. Then, the user operates the user character (second game medium) arranged in the second virtual space set based on the information received from the server device 11, and the second character arranged in the second virtual space. Compete against one game medium. The user also aims to capture the second virtual space (achieve the game task). For example, the second game medium moves to a predetermined position in the second virtual space, or wins a battle with a specific first game medium (commander character) in the second virtual space. It is determined that the game task has been successfully achieved. And according to the result (for example, success or failure of achievement of a game task) of a 2nd game part, a predetermined reward (for example, game media) is given to a user.

  In the third game part, the user's terminal device 12 is damaged (for example, by a battle with the second game medium operated by another user as a result of the second game part executed on the other user's terminal device 12 (for example, The first game medium that has received the damage is repaired (for example, the HP reduced by the damage is increased). For example, the game parameter (for example, HP) of the first game medium decreases due to the attack received from the second game medium. For example, the user terminal device 12 consumes a predetermined game medium such as a virtual currency or an item associated with the user so that the decreased HP of the first game medium approaches a target value (for example, the maximum value). increase. The amount of change in the game parameters of the first game medium may vary depending on the type and number (amount) of game media consumed. For example, the greater the number (amount) of game media to be consumed or the higher the rarity of game media to be consumed, the greater the amount of game parameter change.

  In the game according to the present embodiment, for example, the arrangement of the first game medium in the second virtual space changes according to the arrangement of the objects (and the first game medium) in the first virtual space, and the second virtual space The capture difficulty changes. Therefore, in the first game part, in order to prevent the second virtual space of the user from being captured by other users, the user can devise combinations and arrangements of objects in the first virtual space, for example, Aim to increase the difficulty of capturing virtual space. In the second game part, the user aims to capture another second virtual space related to another user. Further, in the third game part, the user repairs the damaged first game medium as a result of the second game part executed by another user, and prepares for the second game part executed by the other user.

  Next, each component of the game system 10 will be described. The server device 11 includes a server communication unit 14, a server storage unit 15, and a server control unit 16.

  The server communication unit 14 is an interface that communicates with an external device wirelessly or by wire to transmit and receive information. The server communication unit 14 transmits / receives information to / from the terminal device 12 via the network 13.

  The server storage unit 15 is, for example, a storage device, and stores various information and programs necessary for providing and controlling the game.

  For example, the server storage unit 15 includes information indicating a correspondence relationship between position information (first position information) indicating a position in the first virtual space and position information (second position information) indicating a position in the second virtual space ( Correspondence information) is stored. Hereinafter, the first virtual space will be described as a three-dimensional virtual space having an xyz coordinate system, but may be a two-dimensional virtual space. The first position information is indicated by a combination (x, y, z) of xyz coordinates. The second virtual space will be described as a three-dimensional virtual space having an XYZ coordinate system, but may be a two-dimensional virtual space. The second position information is indicated by a combination (X, Y, Z) of XYZ coordinates. In the present embodiment, there is a correspondence relationship in which one second position information (X, Y, Z) is uniquely determined with respect to one first position information (x, y, z).

  Moreover, the server memory | storage part 15 memorize | stores the information regarding a user for every user. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, the information about the user includes information about the object, information about the first game medium, and information about the second game medium in association with the user ID. The user ID is information that can uniquely identify the user.

  First, information about an object will be described with reference to FIG. The information about the object includes shape data, connection position information, cost, first arrangement information, a condition achievement flag, and a confirmation flag in association with the object ID. The object ID is information that can uniquely identify the object.

  The shape data is information indicating the shape of the object.

  The connection position information is information indicating a predetermined position (connection position) in the object set in the object. As described later, in the first game part, one or more objects are arranged so as to have a predetermined relative positional relationship with one or more other objects. In the present embodiment, the predetermined relative positional relationship is a relative positional relationship in which the connection position of an object and the connection position of another object exist at substantially the same position in the first virtual space.

  As will be described later, the cost is a parameter that can be used to determine whether or not the first condition is satisfied and / or whether or not the second condition is satisfied. The cost value may be determined according to information (for example, the type and level of the first game medium) related to the first game medium associated with the object (object ID), as will be described later, or predetermined. It may be a given value.

  The first arrangement information is information indicating the arrangement of objects in the first virtual space. In the present embodiment, the first arrangement information includes the first position information of the object arranged in the first virtual space and the direction information indicating the direction of the object arranged in the first virtual space. Arbitrary information regarding the arrangement of objects in the space may be included.

  Hereinafter, for example, “arranging” an object will be described as including including associating arrangement information (including position information) with the object.

  In the present embodiment, the object is arranged on the xy plane at z = 0 in the first virtual space. Accordingly, the first position information associated with the object arranged in the first virtual space is indicated by a combination (x, y, 0) of each coordinate in the xyz coordinate system.

  The condition achievement flag is a flag indicating whether the object satisfies a second condition described later. In this embodiment, as described later, when it is determined that the second condition is satisfied in response to a user operation to end the movement of the object, the condition achievement flag associated with the object changes from off to on. An object associated with the condition achievement flag set to ON is an object that satisfies the second condition.

  The confirmation flag is a flag indicating whether or not the first arrangement information associated with the object has been confirmed. In this embodiment, as described later, when it is determined that the first condition is satisfied in response to a user operation for completing the first game part, the confirmation flag associated with the object changes from off to on. The object associated with the confirmation flag set to ON is an object for which the first arrangement information associated with the object is confirmed. Hereinafter, the determination of the first arrangement information associated with the object (including the first position information) is also referred to as the determination of the arrangement of the object.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 4, information regarding the first game medium will be described. In the present embodiment, the information related to the first game medium is associated with the user ID as described above, and is also associated with the object ID included in the information related to the object. In other words, information related to the first game medium is associated with each object ID included in the information related to the object. For example, FIG. 4 shows information related to the first game medium associated with the object ID “object001” (see FIG. 3).

  As shown in FIG. 4, the information about the first game content is associated with the first game content ID, in-object placement information, game parameters, first placement information, a confirmation flag, and second placement information. And an arrangement suppression flag. The first game content ID is information that can uniquely identify the first game content.

  The in-object arrangement information is information indicating the arrangement of the first game medium in the object. In the present embodiment, the in-object arrangement information includes the in-object position information indicating the position of the first game medium arranged in the object in the object and the direction information indicating the direction of the first game medium arranged in the object. However, it may include any information related to the arrangement of the first game medium in the object. The in-object position information is indicated by a combination (dx, dy) of the x coordinate and the y coordinate in the xyz coordinate system with a predetermined origin set for the object as a reference. Thus, the first game medium is fixedly arranged with respect to the object. In the present embodiment, the in-object arrangement information is predetermined for each first game medium, but may be configured such that the user can change the information using the terminal device 12, for example.

  The game parameters include various parameters related to the game media that are necessary for the progress of the game. The game parameter included in the information related to the first game medium is used in, for example, a second game part executed by the terminal device 12 of another user who aims to capture the user's second virtual space. In the present embodiment, the game parameters included in the information related to the first game medium include a type, an attribute, a level, and HP.

  The type indicates the type of the first game medium. For example, in the second game part executed by the terminal device 12 of another user, the first game medium has different roles, functions, effects, and the like depending on the type. In the present embodiment, the type of the first game medium includes, but is not limited to, a turret, a barracks, a lieutenant character, a commander character, and a wall.

  The turret automatically attacks (bombards) another user's second game medium disposed in the second virtual space. The HP of the second game medium decreases by the amount of damage given by the bombardment. For example, when the HP of the second game medium of another user becomes zero, it is determined that the achievement of the game task has failed in the terminal device 12 of the other user.

  For example, during the execution of the second game part by the terminal device 12 of another user, the barracks, for example, generates a soldier character (third game medium) as time elapses. Second position information is associated with the generated third game medium. The third game medium is arranged at a position in the second virtual space indicated by the associated second position information, and operates automatically, for example, to play against another user's second game medium. For example, the HP of the second game medium is reduced by the amount of damage given by the attack of the third game medium.

  The lieutenant character (specific first game medium) plays against the other user's second game medium in the same manner as the third game medium described above. As will be described later, information relating to the first game medium associated with another object having a predetermined relative positional relationship in the first virtual space with respect to the object (specific object) associated with the lieutenant character is provided. Can change. For example, among the first game media associated with other objects arranged adjacent to the specific object, for example, the game parameter of the first game media associated with the same attribute as that of the lieutenant character changes ( For example, HP increases).

  The commander character battles with the second game medium of another user in the same manner as the third game medium and the assistant character. As will be described later, when the leader character loses the battle with the second game medium of another user, it can be determined that the terminal device 12 of the other user has successfully achieved the game task.

  The wall is an obstacle that prevents other users from moving the second game medium. As described later, in the present embodiment, a plurality of walls are arranged in the object over the entire circumference of the object. The plurality of walls include walls arranged at one or more connection positions set for the object. In other words, in-object position information associated with one or more walls among the plurality of walls arranged over the entire circumference of the object shape is determined as the connection position.

  The attribute is information indicating superiority or inferiority relationship between game media. In the present embodiment, the attribute indicates at least one attribute among fire, tree, and water attributes, for example. For example, in a fire attribute game medium, damage to a tree attribute game medium is larger than usual, and damage to a water attribute game medium is smaller than usual. The type of attribute is not limited to fire, wood, and water, and any type of attribute may exist.

  The level is a parameter indicating the degree of growth of the first game medium. For example, when the level increases, other game parameters change (for example, HP increases).

  HP is a parameter that decreases due to, for example, an attack from another user's second game media. For example, when HP becomes zero, it is determined that the first game medium is defeated. For the defeated first game medium, for example, the role, function, and effect of the first game medium are stopped, such as shelling, movement, or attack.

  The game parameters are not limited to those described above, for example, attack power, defense power, generation speed of the third game medium by the barracks, and game parameters (for example, the third game medium of the third game medium) to be associated with the generated third game medium. Attribute, HP, etc.) may be included.

  The first arrangement information is information indicating the arrangement of the first game medium in the first virtual space. In the present embodiment, the first arrangement information includes first position information of the first game medium arranged in the first virtual space and direction information indicating the direction of the first game medium arranged in the first virtual space. However, it may include any information related to the arrangement of the first game medium in the first virtual space.

  Specifically, as described later, when the first information is associated with the object by executing the first game part, the first position information of the object, the in-object position information associated with the first game medium, Based on the first position information of the first game medium in the first virtual space is determined. For example, when the first position information (x, y, 0) is associated with the object in the first game part, that is, the first position information in the first virtual space of the origin set on the object is (x, In the case of y, 0), the first position information (x + dx, y + dy, f (x + dx, y + dy)) is associated with the first game medium corresponding to the object. Here, f (x, y) is a value determined for all possible combinations of the x coordinate and the y coordinate in the first virtual space, for example, the height of the virtual ground in the first virtual space. It shows.

  The confirmation flag is a flag indicating whether or not the first arrangement information associated with the first game content has been confirmed. In this embodiment, as will be described later, when it is determined that the first condition is satisfied in response to a user operation for completing the first game part, the confirmation flag associated with the first game medium is switched from OFF to ON. Change. The first game medium associated with the confirmation flag set to ON is an object for which the first arrangement information associated with the first game medium is confirmed. Hereinafter, the determination of the first arrangement information associated with the first game medium (including the first position information) is also referred to as the determination of the arrangement of the first game medium.

  The second arrangement information is information indicating the arrangement of the first game medium in the second virtual space. In the present embodiment, the second arrangement information includes the second position information of the first game medium arranged in the second virtual space and the direction information indicating the direction of the first game medium arranged in the second virtual space. However, it may include any information related to the arrangement of the first game medium in the second virtual space.

  Here, the second position information is determined based on the first position information of the first game content and the correspondence information indicating the correspondence between the first position information and the second position information. Specifically, as described later, when the first position information of the first game medium is determined by executing the first game part, the first position information (x + dx, y + dy) of the first game medium is used using the correspondence information. , F (x + dx, y + dy)) corresponding to the second position information (X, Y, Z) is determined.

  The arrangement suppression flag is a flag indicating whether or not to suppress (stop) the arrangement of the first game medium in the second virtual space. In this embodiment, when the connection position of an object and the connection position of another object have a predetermined relative positional relationship in the first virtual space (for example, the two connection positions exist at substantially the same position in the first virtual space. The placement suppression flag associated with the wall that is the first game medium placed at the connection position of the object changes from off to on. The first game medium associated with the placement suppression flag set to ON is not placed in the second virtual space in the second game part executed by the terminal device 12 of another user.

  Here, an example of the object 17 will be described with reference to FIG. The object 17 illustrated in FIG. 5 has a T-shape, for example, when viewed in the negative direction of the z axis along the z axis. In the present embodiment, a plurality of walls 19 are arranged in the object 17 over the entire circumference 18 of the T-shape of the object 17. Further, a turret 20 and a barracks 21 are arranged in the object 17.

  In FIG. 5, two connection positions set for the object 17 are indicated by triangular markers 22 (22 a, 22 b). The walls 19a and 19b are the walls 19 arranged at the connection positions indicated by the markers 22a and 22b, respectively.

  As described above, when the object 17 is arranged in the first virtual space, for example, the first position information (x, y, 0) is associated with the object 17. In such a case, as described above, the first position information (x + dx, y + dy, f (x + dx, y + dy)) is associated with the first game medium (for example, the turret 20) associated with the object 17.

  Next, information regarding the second game medium will be described with reference to FIG. The information related to the second game medium includes a game parameter in association with the second game medium ID. The second game content ID is information that can uniquely identify the second game content.

  As described above, the game parameters include various parameters related to the game media that are necessary for the progress of the game. The game parameters included in the information related to the second game medium are used in the second game part and the like executed by the user terminal device 12. In the present embodiment, the game parameters included in the information related to the second game medium include an attribute, a level, and HP.

  The attribute corresponds to an attribute included in the information related to the first game medium described above, and indicates at least one attribute among, for example, fire, wood, and water attributes.

  The level is a parameter indicating the degree of growth of the second game medium. For example, as the level increases, a predetermined game parameter such as HP changes (for example, increases).

  HP is a parameter that decreases due to attacks from, for example, the first game medium and the third game medium arranged in another second virtual space. In this embodiment, when the HP of the second game medium becomes zero, it is determined that the achievement of the game task in the second game part has failed.

  The game parameters are not limited to those described above, and may include, for example, attack power, defense power, commands that can be executed by the second game medium, skills, and special moves.

  Further, the second game medium is, for example, a character that the user owns in the game, but is not limited thereto. For example, a deck in which a plurality of game media such as characters or cards are combined may be used as the second game media. Further, for example, the information regarding the second game medium may include information regarding another game medium that changes the game parameter of the second game medium. Other game media include game media associated with the second game media, such as equipment items to be equipped on the second game media.

  Here, the configuration in which information related to the user is stored in the server storage unit 15 has been described. However, both the server device 11 and the user terminal device 12 may share and store information related to the user. For example, when information about the user is updated in one of the server device 11 and the terminal device 12, the information related to the update is transmitted to the other, and both the server device 11 and the terminal device 12 hold the same information. .

  Moreover, the information regarding the user may further include, for example, information regarding a game medium owned by the user in the game, and arbitrary information necessary for the user to play the game, such as the level of the user.

  Moreover, the server control part 16 will select other users other than the said user among several users, if the start request | requirement of a 2nd game part is received from the user's terminal device 12. FIG. The other user selected here may be, for example, a user specified in the start request for the second game part. Subsequently, the server control unit 16 transmits a start instruction for the second game part to the terminal device 12. The instruction includes, for example, information necessary for the execution of the second game part, such as information regarding the first game medium associated with the second arrangement information, among information regarding the other users.

  Further, the server control unit 16 changes the game parameter of the first game content at a predetermined time change rate as time elapses.

  For example, when the game parameter of the first game medium associated with the user ID of the user A changes as a result of the second game part executed on the terminal device 12 of the user B, the server control unit 16 The game parameter is changed at a predetermined rate of change with time so as to cancel out the change in the time. Specifically, when the HP of the first game medium decreases as a result of the second game part, the HP increases to a maximum value with a predetermined rate of change with time.

  Further, for example, when the first game medium associated with the user ID of the user A is in a predetermined state as a result of the second game part executed on the terminal device 12 of the user B, the server control unit 16 The game parameters of the first game medium are changed at a predetermined rate of change with time. Specifically, when the first game medium (for example, barracks) is in a predetermined state (for example, a fire state) as a result of the second game part, the HP of the first game medium is predetermined as time passes. Decreases with the rate of time change.

  Here, the time change rate of the game parameter may be determined based on an arbitrary game parameter such as the type or level of the first game medium. For example, the higher the level of the first game medium, the larger or smaller the time change rate of the game parameter. In this way, the server control unit 16 changes the game parameter of the first game medium at a predetermined time change rate regardless of whether the user A is executing a game using the terminal device 12, for example. With such a configuration, for example, even when the user executes the game intermittently, that is, when there is a period when the user does not execute the game, a game that progresses in real time is realized.

  In addition, when receiving a start request for the third game part from the terminal device 12, the server control unit 16 transmits a start instruction for the third game part to the terminal device 12. The instruction includes, for example, information necessary for the execution of the third game part, such as information regarding the first game medium associated with the second arrangement information, among the information regarding the user of the terminal device 12.

  Next, the terminal device 12 shown in FIG. 1 will be described. The terminal device 12 includes a terminal communication unit 23, a terminal storage unit 24, a display unit 25, and a terminal control unit 26.

  The terminal communication unit 23 is an interface that communicates with an external device wirelessly or by wire and transmits and receives information. The terminal communication unit 23 transmits / receives information to / from the server device 11 via the network 13.

  The terminal storage unit 24 is, for example, a storage device, and stores various information and programs necessary for game processing provided from the server device 11. For example, the terminal storage unit 24 stores a game application according to the present embodiment in advance.

  Similarly to the server storage unit 15 described above, the terminal storage unit 24 stores correspondence information indicating a correspondence relationship between the first position information in the first virtual space and the second position information in the second virtual space.

  The display unit 25 is a display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display, and displays various game screens related to a game provided from the server device 11. The display unit 25 is configured by a touch panel, for example, and functions as an interface for detecting a user operation.

  The terminal control unit 26 is a CPU that realizes a specific function by reading a dedicated microprocessor or a specific program. The terminal control unit 26 controls the operation of the entire terminal device 12. For example, the terminal control unit 26 transmits and receives information via the terminal communication unit 23. The terminal control unit 26 executes a game application in response to a user operation on the display unit 25.

  Further, as described above, the terminal control unit 26 shares and stores information related to the user of the terminal device 12 with the server device 11.

  Specifically, when receiving information about the user from the server device 11, the terminal control unit 26 stores the received information in the terminal storage unit 24. In addition, when the terminal control unit 26 updates the information regarding the user stored in the terminal storage unit 24, the terminal control unit 26 transmits the information regarding the update among the information regarding the user to the server device 11. For example, as will be described later, the terminal control unit 26 associates the second position information with the first game medium in the first game part, and updates the information about the user stored in the terminal storage unit 24. And the terminal control part 26 transmits the information regarding the 1st game content with which 2nd position information was matched to the server apparatus 11. FIG.

  More specifically, when receiving information related to the update among the information related to the user from the server device 11, the terminal control unit 26 updates the information related to the user stored in the terminal storage unit 24 using the information. For example, when receiving the information indicating the reward associated with the user, the terminal control unit 26 updates the information regarding the user stored in the terminal storage unit 24 using the information.

  The terminal control unit 26 performs a first game part process, a second game part process, and a third game part process. This will be specifically described below.

(First game part processing)
First, the first game part process will be described. First, the terminal control unit 26 transmits a start request for the first game part to the server device 11 in response to a user operation for starting the first game part.

  Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 receives a start instruction for the first game part from the server device 11 that has received the start request for the first game part.

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

  Hereinafter, the operation of the terminal control unit 26 for advancing the first game part will be described with reference to the first game part screen shown in FIGS. FIG. 7 shows a first game part screen displayed immediately after the start of the first game part, for example. The first game part screen includes a first virtual space display area 27 and an object list 28.

  The first virtual space display area 27 is an area where the first virtual space 29 is displayed. Although FIG. 7 shows a state in which the first virtual space 29 is viewed in the negative z-axis direction along the z-axis of the first virtual space 29, the display mode of the first virtual space 29 is not limited to this. For example, the terminal control unit 26 changes the display mode (for example, viewpoint and scale) of the first virtual space 29 in response to a predetermined user operation (for example, swipe operation and pinch operation) on the first virtual space display area 27. It may be changed.

  In the present embodiment, the first virtual space 29 is a plurality of square regions (for example, in the xy plane) in a state where the first virtual space 29 is viewed in the negative z-axis direction along the z-axis of the first virtual space 29. It is divided into broken lines in the figure. The shape of the object is, for example, a shape in which one or more squares are combined with the square area as a unit. As will be described later, when an object arranged in the first virtual space 29 is moved according to a predetermined user operation, the object moves along the x-axis direction or the y-axis direction with the square area as a unit. To do. Therefore, the user arranges objects in the first virtual space 29 so as to combine puzzle pieces, for example.

  In the first virtual space 29, a start position S and a goal position G are determined in advance. Here, the terminal control unit 26 arranges the object 30a in advance so that the goal position G is included in the object 30 (30a).

  In this embodiment, the object 30a that is arranged in advance is an object 30 that is associated with at least the commander character 31 that is the first game medium. In FIG. 7, a plurality of first game media, specifically a commander character 31, a barracks 32, and a wall are associated with an object 30a. For convenience of explanation, illustration of the wall is omitted.

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

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

  The object button 34 is an interface that receives a user operation (first 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 first user operation on the object button 34, the terminal control unit 26 places an object 30 corresponding to the object button 34 in the first virtual space 29.

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

  The object name is automatically determined by the terminal control unit 26 in accordance with, for example, information on 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 contents associated with the object 30, for example, the first having the highest level. Any method for determining an object name such as a name indicating the type of game medium can be employed. In this way, in a configuration in which a plurality of first game media can be operated in units of objects, the features of the objects can be identified by the user, so that the complexity of operations on the objects is reduced.

  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 where only objects that are not arranged in the first virtual space 29 among objects associated with the user are displayed. It may be displayed on a screen (object storage screen) different from the one game part screen. Further, for example, an object image may be displayed in the object list 28 and the object image may function as the object button 34.

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

  Subsequently, when detecting the first user operation on the object button 34a, the terminal control unit 26 determines the entire area on the first game part screen as the first virtual space display area 27 as shown in FIG. The list 28 is not displayed.

  Further, the terminal control unit 26 arranges the object 30 (30b) corresponding to the object button 34a in the first virtual space 29. Specifically, the terminal control unit 26 associates the first arrangement information including the first position information (x, y, 0) in the virtual space 29 with the object 30b. Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 adds the first position information to the first game medium corresponding to the object 30b based on the first position information (x, y, 0) and the in-object position information (dx, dy) of the object 30b. The first arrangement information including (x + dx, y + dy, f (x + dx, y + dy)) is automatically associated. And the terminal control part 26 displays the object 30b and the said 1st game content in the position in the virtual space 29 which the 1st positional information matched respectively correspond. Here, the object 30b is displayed so as to be movable in accordance with a predetermined user operation, as will be described later.

  Hereinafter, the object 30 displayed so as to be movable is also referred to as a movable object 30. 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 the object 30a. May be set to a movable state. In other words, the terminal control unit 26 switches the object 30 determined to be movable according to a user operation on the object 30 displayed in the first virtual space display area 27.

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

  Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 displays a list button 35, a cost display area 36, a rotation button 37, and an enter 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 detecting the 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 a total value of costs of all the objects 30 arranged in the first virtual space 29 and a predetermined threshold (capacity) are displayed.

  The rotation button 37 is a user interface that receives a user operation to change the direction of the object 30 displayed so as to be movable. When the terminal control unit 26 detects a user operation on the rotation button 37, the terminal control unit 26 turns the direction of the object 30 (movable object 30 b in FIG. 8) displayed so as to be movable clockwise on the xy plane in the first virtual space 29, for example. To 90 degrees.

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

  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 predetermined with respect to at least one connection position set for another object 30. (2a) The condition that the total cost of all the arranged objects 30 is less than the capacity, and (3a) that the arranged objects 30 do not overlap each other. Among the conditions, (4a) the condition that the start position S and the goal position G are included in one or more objects 30 arranged, and (5a) the condition that the second condition described later is satisfied, Including but not limited to at least one. The first condition may include any other condition in addition to the above-described conditions. For example, a predetermined placement prohibited area may be provided in the first virtual space 29, and a 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 whether or not the first condition is satisfied will be described later.

  Subsequently, when the terminal control unit 26 detects a user operation (moving operation) for moving the object 30b displayed to be movable in the first virtual space 29, the terminal control unit 26 moves the object 30b in the first virtual space according to the moving operation. Move with. That is, the terminal control unit 26 changes the first position information included in the first arrangement information associated with the object 30b and the first game medium corresponding to the object 30b. The movement operation is, for example, an operation in which the user performs a swipe while touching the object 30b on the screen with a finger.

  Subsequently, when the terminal control unit 26 detects a user operation (movement end operation) for ending the movement of the object 30b displayed so as to be movable, the terminal control unit 26, 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 movement end operation is an operation in which the user releases his / her finger from the object 30b on the screen, for example.

  For example, the second condition is that (1b) at least one connection position set in the object 30b displayed so as to be movable has a predetermined relative positional relationship with respect to at least one connection position set in the other object 30a. (2b) the condition that the total cost of all the arranged objects 30 (30a, 30b) is less than the capacity, and (3b) the object 30b displayed to be movable and others Including at least one of the conditions that the object 30a does not overlap, but is not limited thereto. The second condition may include any other condition in addition to the above-described conditions. For example, a predetermined placement prohibited area may be provided in the first virtual space 29, and a condition that the placement prohibited area and the object 30b displayed so as to be movable do not overlap may be included.

  When it is determined that the second condition is not satisfied, the terminal control unit 26 displays the object 30b displayed so as to be movable in a mode different from normal. For example, in FIG. 8, as indicated by the marker 33, the connection position set for the object 30 b and the connection position set for the object 30 a exist at different positions in the first virtual space 29. For this reason, it is determined that the condition (1b) described above is not satisfied among the second conditions. In such a case, the terminal control unit 26 causes the object 30b to be displayed in an emphasized manner, 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 changes the condition achievement flag corresponding to the object 30b displayed to be movable from off to on. For example, FIG. 9 shows a state where the objects 30a and 30b satisfy the second condition.

  Subsequently, when the terminal control unit 26 detects a user operation on the determination button 38, the above-described first condition is satisfied based on information on all the objects 30 (30 a and 30 b) arranged in the first virtual space 29. It is determined whether or not.

  For example, when it is determined that the first condition is not satisfied, the terminal control unit 26 changes the display mode on the screen of at least one object associated with information that does not satisfy the first condition, to the at least one object. Is changed to a mode that can be identified by the user. Specifically, in the first condition, for example, when it is determined that the condition that the arranged objects 30 do not overlap each other is not satisfied, the terminal control unit 26 at least one object arranged in an overlapping manner Predetermined highlighting is performed, such as changing or blinking 30 colors. Suitably, the terminal control part 26 displays the information which shows the conditions which are not satisfy | filled on a screen. For example, an image for notifying the user that the arranged objects 30 overlap each other is displayed.

  Here, in FIG. 9, (1) as indicated by the two markers 33, the connection position of the object 30 a and the connection position of the object 30 b exist at substantially the same position in the first virtual space 29. Further, (2) the total cost (for example, 40 points) of the costs of the objects 30a and 30b is equal to or less than the capacity (for example, 100 points). Also, (3) the objects 30a and 30b are arranged without overlapping. (4) A start position S and a goal position G are included in the objects 30a and 30b. (5) All the arranged objects 30a and 30b satisfy the second condition. Therefore, since the above-described 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, the first arrangement information associated with all the objects 30 (30a, 30b) arranged in the virtual space 29, and all the objects The first arrangement information associated with the first game content corresponding to 30 (30a, 30b) is determined. Specifically, the terminal control unit 26 changes the confirmation flags associated with all the objects 30 (30a, 30b) from off to on. Further, the terminal control unit 26 changes the confirmation flag associated with the first game medium corresponding to all the objects 30 (30a, 30b) from off to on.

  Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 relates to a first game medium associated with at least one of the two or more objects 30 according to the relative positional relationship of the two or more objects 30 in the first virtual space 29. Change information. Specifically, the placement suppression flag or the game parameter included in the information related to the first game medium changes. This will be specifically described below.

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

  Next, the operation of the terminal control unit 26 that changes the game parameter included in the information related to the first game medium will be described. For example, the terminal control unit 26 selects another object 30 having a relative positional relationship of being adjacent to the object 30 (specific object) associated with the lieutenant character (specific first game medium) that is the first game medium. Identify. And the terminal control part 26 changes the game parameter of the 1st game content matched with the said other object 30 identified. For example, the terminal control unit 26, among the first game media associated with the other object 30, the first game parameter of the first game media associated with the same attribute as that of the specific first game media. (For example, attack power) is increased. 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 specific first game medium. For example, the amount of increase in the attack power of the first game medium increases as the HP of the specific first game medium increases.

  Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 assigns the second position information in the second virtual space to the first game media respectively associated with all the objects 30 (30a, 30b) arranged in the first virtual space 29. Associate. Here, the terminal control unit 26 may omit the association of the second position information for the first game medium associated with the placement suppression flag set to ON.

  Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 switches 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. Similarly, 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.

  And the terminal control part 26 transmits the information regarding the 1st game content with which 2nd position information was matched to the server apparatus 11, and complete | finishes a 1st game part process.

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

  For example, along the Z axis in the second virtual space, when the positive direction of the Z axis is defined as the upper direction in the second virtual space and the negative direction of the Z axis is defined as the lower direction in the second virtual space, the side surfaces of the regions 41a and 41b A wall 42 as the first game medium is arranged along the line. Here, as described above, the arrangement of the walls associated with the arrangement suppression flag set to ON is suppressed. As a result, the wall 42 is arrange | positioned over the side surface perimeter of each area | region 41a, 41b except the position 43 shown, for example in FIG. Therefore, the regions 41 a and 41 b each surrounded by the wall 42 communicate with each other at the position 43. In the second game part to be described later, the second game medium arranged in the second virtual space can go back and forth between the area 41a and the area 41b by passing through the position 43 where the wall 42 is not arranged.

(Second game part processing)
Next, the second game part process will be described. As described above, in the second game part, the user operates the second game medium and aims to capture another user's second virtual space.

  First, the terminal control unit 26 transmits a start request for the second game part to the server device 11 in response to a user operation for starting the second game part.

  Here, the start request for the second game part may include information for designating another user. In such a case, for example, the terminal control unit 26 displays a screen on which information about a plurality of other users, for example, user IDs and levels of other users, game parameters of the first game media of other users, and the like are displayed. And accepting a user operation to select any one of the plurality of other users.

  Preferably, when displaying the screen, the terminal control unit 26 sets a priority for each of a plurality of other users based on information about a plurality of other users, and relates to a plurality of others based on the priority. The display mode of information is changed. For example, the terminal control unit 26 displays on the screen in order from other users with higher priority. Alternatively, the terminal control unit 26 displays information on another user whose priority is equal to or higher than a predetermined value in a highlighted manner, for example, by changing the color or displaying the information blinking.

  Here, the priority is determined based on information on other users. For example, the terminal control unit 26 increases or decreases the priority as the level of another user is closer to the level of the user. Further, for example, the terminal control unit 26 increases or decreases the priority as the current value of the total HP of other users' first game media is smaller or the ratio of the current value to the maximum value of the total HP is smaller. With such a configuration, the interest of performing virtual real-time battles is aroused.

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

  Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 stores the second virtual space related to the other user based on the information related to the first game medium related to the other user associated with the second position information stored in the terminal storage unit 24. 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 second game medium of the user, and arranges the second game medium at the position indicated by the second position information in the second virtual space. Here, the position indicated by the second position information is, for example, a position in the second virtual space corresponding to the start position S set in the first 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, with reference to the second game part screen shown in FIG. 12, the operation of the terminal control unit 26 for advancing the second game part will be described. 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 a state in which the second virtual space is viewed obliquely from above with the positive direction of the Z axis of the second virtual space 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, the viewpoint and the scale) of the second virtual space in accordance with a predetermined user operation (for example, a pinch operation) on the second game part screen.

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

  The second game medium 44 is, for example, a user 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 an indicator, for example, and indicates the HP of the second game medium 44.

  The wall 46 is a first game medium arranged in the second virtual space. As described above, the wall 46 prevents the second game medium 44 from moving.

  The barracks 47 are the first game media arranged in the second virtual space. As described above, the barracks 47 generate the third game medium such as the soldier character 48 as time elapses. Specifically, the terminal control unit 26 passes a predetermined time (10 seconds) based on 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 moves the soldier character 48 to move, for example, in the second virtual space and attack the second game medium.

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

  Subsequently, when detecting 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 accordance with the user operation. For example, the second game medium 44 moves in the swipe direction in response to the user swiping while touching an arbitrary position on the screen with a finger. Specifically, the terminal control unit 26 changes the second position information of the second game medium 44. Further, for example, the second game medium 44 performs an attack 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 the first game medium or the third game medium, A battle with the two game media 44 is executed.

  Specifically, when the attack by the first game medium or the third game medium hits the second game medium 44, the terminal control unit 26 decreases the HP of the second game medium 44. Further, the terminal control unit 26 determines whether the HP of the second game medium 44 has become zero, that is, whether 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, when it is determined that the second game medium 44 has not been defeated, the terminal control unit 26 continues the battle.

  More specifically, when the attack by the second game medium 44 hits the first game medium or the third game medium, the terminal control unit 26 decreases the HP of the first game medium or the third game medium. Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 determines whether the HP of the first game medium or the third game medium has become zero, that is, whether 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, for example, 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 an image of a destroyed barracks or an image of a fallen 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 26 continues the battle.

  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 a condition that the second game medium 44 wins the battle with the leader character, but is not limited thereto. 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 successfully achieved the game task.

  Subsequently, when the terminal control unit 26 determines success or failure of achievement of the game task, the terminal control unit 26 transmits result information including the determination result to the server device 11. In the result information, in addition to the result of the determination, for example, the time required to achieve the game task, the HP of the second game media 44 at the time of achievement of the game task, and the first game media 47 arranged in the second virtual space Arbitrary information determined by execution of the second game part may be included, such as HP. And the terminal control part 26 complete | finishes a 2nd game part process.

(Third game part processing)
Next, the third game part process will be described. As described above, in the third game part, the user repairs the first game medium damaged in the second game part executed on the terminal device 12 of another user. Hereinafter, although the case where HP is reduced among the game parameters of the first game medium as a result of the second game part will be described, the game parameter that changes as a result of the second game part is not limited to HP.

  First, the terminal control unit 26 transmits a start request for the third game part to the server device 11 in response to a user operation for starting the third game part.

  Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 receives a start instruction for the third game part from the server device 11 that has received the start request for the third game part. In addition, the terminal control unit 26 stores, in the terminal storage unit 24, information related to the first game medium associated with the second arrangement information among the information related to the user included in the instruction. For example, the HP of the first game medium that has been reduced as a result of the second game part executed on the terminal device 12 of another user is stored.

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

  Hereinafter, the operation of the terminal control unit 26 for advancing the third game part will be described with reference to the third game part screen shown in FIGS. FIG. 13 shows a third game part screen displayed immediately after the start of the third game part, for example. On the third game part screen, a first virtual space 49 and one or more objects 50 (50a, 50b) arranged in the first virtual space 49 are displayed.

  Here, the object 50 (50a, 50b) on the third game part screen functions as an interface for receiving a user operation for selecting the object 50 (50a, 50b). Here, for example, when a user operation on the object 50b is detected, the terminal control unit 26 is described as selecting the object 50b, but any number of objects 50 may be selected.

  Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 changes the display mode of the selected object 50b from the normal display mode to the detailed display mode. In the detailed display mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 14, the first virtual space 49 and the object 50b are enlarged and displayed. A plurality of first game media 51 and 52 associated with the object 50b are displayed. In FIG. 14, two turrets 51 and two barracks 52 are shown.

  Preferably, the terminal control unit 26 changes the display mode of the first game medium in accordance with the game parameter (for example, HP) of the first game medium. Specifically, when the HP of the first game medium is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold (for example, 50% or less of the maximum HP value), the terminal control unit 26 sets the display mode of the first game medium as normal. Change to a different display mode. In an unusual display mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 14, an x-shaped image is superimposed and displayed on the two turrets 51, but an arbitrary display mode such as a mode using a damaged turret image is adopted. Is possible.

  Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 displays the first game media list 53 on the third game part screen. In the first game content list 53, a first game content button 54 corresponding to the first game content associated with the selected object 50b is displayed. In the present embodiment, in the first game medium list 53, first game medium buttons 54 (54a, 54b) are displayed for each type of the first game medium associated with the selected object 50b. For example, two turrets 51 and two barracks 52 are associated with the object 50b as described above. In such a case, the first game media list 53 includes, for example, as shown in FIG. 14, a first game media button 54a corresponding to two turrets 51 and a first game media button 54b corresponding to two barracks. Two buttons are displayed.

  Preferably, the number of corresponding first game media, the total value of game parameters (for example, HP), and cost parameters are displayed on the first game media button 54. The cost is a parameter indicating the number of predetermined game media (for example, virtual currency or items) required for changing the current value of the game parameter of the first game media, as will be described later. In FIG. 14, for example, the number (two) of turrets 51 is displayed on the first game medium button 54a. Further, the current value (15 points) and the maximum value (100 points) of the total HP of the two turrets 51 are displayed on the first game medium button 54a. The first game medium button 54a displays a cost (85 points).

  Here, the cost is calculated based on at least one of the number of first game media and HP. For example, the terminal control unit 26 may set a value (85 points) obtained by subtracting the current value (for example, 15 points) from the maximum value (for example, 100 points) of the total HP, or the value (85 points). ) Multiplied by the number of first game media (two) (170 points) may be determined as the cost. The calculation of the cost is not limited to the method described above, and any method can be adopted.

  Preferably, when the terminal control unit 26 displays a plurality of first game content buttons 54 on the first game content list 53, the terminal control unit 26 sets a priority for each of the first game content buttons 54, and based on the priority. The display mode of the plurality of first game medium buttons 54 is changed. For example, the terminal control unit 26 causes the first game content list 53 to be displayed in order from the first game content button 54 having the highest priority. Alternatively, the terminal control unit 26 displays the first game medium button 54 having a priority level equal to or higher than a predetermined value in an emphasizing manner, for example, by changing the color or by blinking.

  Here, the priority is determined based on at least one of the game parameter, the first arrangement information, and the second arrangement information of the first game medium corresponding to the first game medium button 54. For example, the terminal control unit 26 increases the priority as the current value of the total HP of the first game content corresponding to the first game content button 54 is smaller or the ratio of the current value to the maximum value of the total HP is smaller. To do. Further, for example, the terminal control unit 26 increases the priority as the total level, total attack power, or total defense power of the first game content corresponding to the first game content button 54 increases. In addition, for example, the terminal control unit 26 detects the position indicated by the first position information included in the first arrangement information of the first game medium corresponding to the first game medium button 54 and a predetermined position (for example, the first virtual space 49). , The lower the distance to the start position S), the higher the priority. Further, for example, the terminal control unit 26 may detect the position indicated by the second position information included in the second arrangement information of the first game medium corresponding to the first game medium button 54 and a predetermined position (for example, When the second game part executed on the other user's terminal device 12 starts, the smaller the distance from the other user's second game space (the position in the second virtual space), the lower the priority. To increase. The priority determination method is not limited to the above-described method, and any method can be adopted.

  With this configuration, the burden on the user searching for the desired first game media button 54 from the first game media list 53 and the complexity of the user operation are reduced.

  The first game medium button 54 is an interface that accepts a user operation that collectively changes the game parameters of the corresponding first game medium. When the terminal control unit 26 detects a user operation on the first game medium button 54, the terminal control unit 26 subtracts the above-described cost value from the number of predetermined game media (for example, virtual currency) associated with the user, and performs the first operation. The game parameters of the first game medium corresponding to the game medium button 54 are changed at once. For example, when a user operation on the first game medium button 54a shown in FIG. 14 is detected, the HPs of the two turrets 51 increase to, for example, the maximum value.

  Or the terminal control part 26 may receive the user input which designates the value of expense. In such a case, the terminal control unit 26 changes the game parameter of the corresponding first game medium by the amount of change determined according to the designated cost value. For example, the terminal control unit 26 may increase (+20 points) the HPs of the two turrets 51 by a specified cost value (for example, 20 points), or may specify a specified cost value (20 points). The HP of the two turrets 51 may be increased (+10 points) by a value (10 points) obtained by dividing the number of turrets by the number (two) of the turrets 51. The determination of the change amount of the game parameter is not limited to the method described above, and any method can be adopted.

  Here, the first game medium in the first virtual space 49 displayed on the third game part screen may be used as an interface having the same function as the first game medium button 54. In such a case, when the terminal control unit 26 detects a user operation on the first game medium on the third game part screen, the terminal control unit 26 calculates the cost value from the number of predetermined game media (for example, virtual currency) associated with the user. By subtracting, the game parameter of the first game medium is changed. Preferably, when the terminal control unit 26 detects a user operation on one first game medium on the third game part screen, the game parameters of all the first game media of the same type as the first game medium are detected. Change all at once. For example, in FIG. 14, when a user operation on one turret 51 is detected, the HPs of the two turrets 51 increase at once.

  Next, for example, a case where a user operation on the first game medium button 54a is detected in FIG. 14 and the HPs of the two turrets 51 are each increased to the maximum value will be described. As described above, the terminal control unit 26 displays the two turrets 51 displayed in the display mode different from the normal mode by switching to the normal display mode. In a normal display mode, the two turrets 51 are displayed using, for example, an image showing the turret as shown in FIG.

  Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 stops accepting a user operation on the first game medium button 54 corresponding to the first game medium whose HP total value has increased to the maximum value. Preferably, the terminal control unit 26 may display the first game medium button 54 that has stopped accepting user operations in a display mode different from the normal display mode, or may hide the first game medium button 54. Good. For example, as shown in FIG. 15, the terminal control unit 26 compares the first game medium buttons 54a corresponding to the two turrets 51 having the maximum HP total value with the normal time (for example, in the figure). In comparison with the first game medium button 54b).

  Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 ends the third game part when a predetermined condition (end condition) is satisfied. The end condition is, for example, a condition that a predetermined user operation (end operation) for ending the third game part is detected, or a game parameter of all the first game media arranged in the first virtual space 49 (for example, HP) is changed until it reaches a target value (for example, a maximum value), but any other condition may be included.

  Next, with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 16, operation | movement of the terminal device 12 which performs the 1st game part process mentioned above is demonstrated.

When it is determined that the user operation on the determination button 38 is detected (step S111—Yes), the process proceeds to step S112. On the other hand, when it is determined that the user operation on the determination button 38 is not detected (step S111—No), the process returns to step S104.

  Step S112: When it is determined in step S111 that a user operation on the enter button 38 has been detected (step S111-Yes), the terminal control unit 26 is based on information on all the objects 30 arranged in the first virtual space. Then, it is determined whether or not the first condition is satisfied. When it is determined that the first condition is satisfied (step S112—Yes), the process proceeds to step S113. On the other hand, when it is determined that the first condition is not satisfied (step S112—No), the process returns to step S104.

  Step S113: When it is determined in Step S112 that the first condition is satisfied (Step S112—Yes), the terminal control unit 26 first information associated with all the objects 30 arranged in the virtual space. And the first arrangement information associated with the first game media corresponding to all the objects 30 are determined.

  Step S114: Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26, in accordance with the relative positional relationship of the two or more objects 30 in the first virtual space, the first game associated with at least one object 30 of the two or more objects 30 Change information about the media.

  Step S115: Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 associates the second position information in the second virtual space with the first game media respectively associated with all the objects 30 arranged in the first virtual space.

  Step S116: The terminal control unit 26 transmits information on the first game medium associated with the second position information to the server device 11, and the first game part process is ended.

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

  Step S200: First, the terminal control unit 26 transmits a request to start the second game part to the server device 11 in response to a user operation for starting the second game part.

  Step S201: Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 receives a start instruction for the second game part from the server device 11 that has received the start request for the second game part. Further, the terminal control unit 26 stores, in the terminal storage unit 24, information related to the first game medium associated with the second arrangement information among the information related to other users included in the instruction.

  Step S202: Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26, based on the information related to the first game medium related to the other user associated with the second position information stored in the terminal storage unit 24, the first related to the other user. Two virtual spaces are 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.

  Step S203: Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 associates the second position information with the second game medium of the user, and places the second game medium at the position indicated by the second position information in the second virtual space. .

  Step S204: Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 displays the second game part screen on the display unit 25 and starts the second game part.

  Step S205: Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 starts waiting for a user operation on the second game part screen.

  Step S206: Subsequently, when detecting a user operation for operating the second game medium in the second virtual space, the terminal control unit 26 operates the second game medium in the second virtual space according to the user operation.

  Step S207: Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 automatically operates the first game medium or the third game medium in the second virtual space, the first game medium or the third game medium, the second game medium, , Perform a battle.

  Step S208: The terminal control unit 26 determines whether or not the second game content has been defeated. When it is determined that the second game medium has been defeated (step S208—Yes), the process proceeds to step S209. On the other hand, when it is determined that the second game medium has won (step S208—No), the process proceeds to step S210.

  Step S209: When it is determined in step S208 that the second game medium has been defeated (step S208—Yes), the terminal control unit 26 determines that the user has failed to achieve the game task. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S212.

  Step S210: When it is determined in step S208 that the second game medium has won (No in step S208), the terminal control unit 26 continues the progress of the second game part, and the second game medium is the second virtual medium. It is determined whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied in the space. The predetermined condition includes, for example, a condition that the second game medium wins the battle with the leader character. When it is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied (step S210-Yes), the process proceeds to step S211. On the other hand, when it is determined that the predetermined condition is not satisfied (step S210-No), the process returns to step S206.

  Step S211: When it is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied in Step S210 (Step S210-Yes), the terminal control unit 26 determines that the user has successfully achieved the game task.

  Step S212: If the terminal control unit 26 determines success or failure of achievement of the game task in step S209 or step S211, the terminal control unit 26 transmits result information including the result of the determination to the server device 11.

  Next, with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 18, operation | movement of the terminal device 12 which performs the 3rd game part process mentioned above is demonstrated.

  Step S300: First, the terminal control unit 26 transmits a request to start the third game part to the server device 11 in response to a user operation for starting the third game part.

  Step S301: Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 receives a start instruction for the third game part from the server device 11 that has received the start request for the third game part.

  Step S302: Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 displays the third game part screen on the display unit 25 and starts the third game part.

  Step S303: Subsequently, when the terminal control unit 26 detects a user operation on the object on the third game part screen, the terminal control unit 26 selects the object. Here, description will be made assuming that one object associated with two or more first game media is selected.

  Step S304: Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 selects a plurality of first game media from among two or more first game media associated with the object selected in Step S303. The plurality of first game media are, for example, the same type of first game media. Here, for example, it is assumed that two turrets 51 are selected in response to a user operation on the first game medium button 54a described above (see FIG. 14).

  Step S305: Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 determines whether or not the cost values corresponding to the plurality of first game media selected in Step S304 are equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value. The predetermined threshold is, for example, the number of predetermined game media (for example, virtual currency) associated with the user. When it is determined that the cost is equal to or lower than the threshold (step S305-Yes), the process proceeds to step S306. On the other hand, when it is determined that the cost exceeds the threshold (No in Step 305), the process proceeds to Step S307.

  Step S306: If it is determined in step S305 that the cost is equal to or less than the threshold (step S305-Yes), the terminal control unit 26 subtracts the cost value from the number of predetermined game media associated with the user, The game parameters of the plurality of first game media selected in step S304 are collectively changed. For example, the HPs of the two turrets 51 each increase to the maximum value.

  Step S307: After step S306, or when it is determined in step S305 that the cost exceeds the threshold (No in step 305), the terminal control unit 26 determines whether or not the termination condition is satisfied. The end condition is a condition that, for example, an end operation for ending the third game part is detected. When the end operation is detected (step S307-Yes), the terminal control unit 26 ends the third game part. On the other hand, when the end operation is not detected (No at Step S307), the process returns to Step S303.

  Thus, the terminal device 12 according to the present embodiment associates the first position information indicating the position in the first virtual space with the object associated with the first game content. Then, for each of one or more objects associated with the first position information, the terminal device 12 associates the second position information indicating the position in the second virtual space with the first game medium associated with the object. With this configuration, for example, the second virtual space is set based on an object placed in the first virtual space by the user. For this reason, for example, the second virtual space reflecting the user's intention can be set as compared with a configuration in which a predetermined first game medium is arranged in advance in the second virtual space, and the fun of the game is improved. .

  Further, since the second virtual space is set based on the object placed in the first virtual space by the user, for example, compared with a configuration in which the user places a plurality of first game media one by one in the second virtual space. Thus, the user only needs to place one or more first game media in the first virtual space in units of objects, and the burden on the user can be reduced and usability can be improved.

  Further, when it is determined that the second condition is satisfied, the terminal device 12 determines the first position information associated with the object. As described above, by providing the conditions regarding the determination of the arrangement of the objects, 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.

  In addition, the terminal device 12 has information on the first game medium associated with at least one of the two or more objects according to the relative positional relationship between the two or more objects arranged in the first virtual space. To change. As described above, when two or more objects are arranged in the first virtual space, information about the first game medium, for example, the HP of the first game medium, changes depending on the arrangement. Strategies regarding placement are improved.

  Moreover, the terminal device 12 according to the present embodiment associates the first position information with the object in accordance with the first user operation in the first game part described above. Then, the terminal device 12 automatically associates the first position information with each of the one or more first game media associated with the object based on the first position information and the in-object position information of the object. With this configuration, for example, the user places one or more first game media in the first virtual space in units of objects as compared to a configuration in which the user places one or more first game media one by one in the first virtual space. Therefore, the burden on the user can be reduced and the usability can be improved.

  In addition, the terminal device 12 has shape data and first arrangement information determined to overlap an object associated with information that does not satisfy the first condition, for example, another object arranged in the first virtual space. The display mode on the screen of the object associated with is changed. With this configuration, the user can grasp at a glance an object that is a factor that does not satisfy the first condition, and usability is improved.

In addition, the terminal device 12 displays one or more first game media associated with the first position information in a second display mode indicated by a geometric shape. With this configuration, when a user moves an object that is in a movable state, for example, the first game medium disposed in the first virtual space has a simple geometry compared to a configuration in which an image having a complicated shape is shown. It becomes easy to grasp the positional relationship of one or more first game media indicated by the shape, and usability is improved.

  In addition, the terminal device 12 identifies other objects having a predetermined relative positional relationship with the specific object. And the terminal device 12 changes the information regarding the 1st game media matched with the said other object. With this configuration, when an object is arranged in the first virtual space, information regarding the first game medium associated with the other object changes according to the positional relationship between the specific object and the other object. Therefore, the strategy regarding the arrangement of objects in the first virtual space is improved.

  In the above-described configuration, for example, the first game parameter (for example, attack power) of the first game medium associated with the other object changes (for example, increases). Here, the terminal device 12 determines the amount of change in the first game parameter according to the second game parameter (for example, HP) of the specific first game medium (deputy character) associated with the specific object. With this configuration, the attack power of the first game medium is changed according to the HP of the specific first game medium, so that the user is motivated to maintain the HP of the specific first game medium at a desired value, and the user with respect to the game Will increase interest.

  In addition, in the third game part, the terminal device 12 selects at least one object from one or more objects arranged in the first virtual space. And the terminal device 12 changes the information regarding several 1st game media collectively among the 1st game media matched with the selected object. With such a configuration, information related to a plurality of first game media changes all together, so that, for example, the complexity of user operations is reduced compared to a configuration in which processing for changing information related to one first game media is executed multiple times. It is possible to reduce the processing load and the processing time.

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

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

  Specifically, the in-object position information may be indicated by, for example, a combination (dx, dy, dz) of the x coordinate, the y coordinate, and the z coordinate. In this case, the first position information of the first game medium associated with the object whose first position information associated with the object is (x, y, 0) is (x + dx, y + dy, dz). . Alternatively, the in-object position information 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 the predetermined origin set on the object as a reference. . 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 uses 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) as the first Associate with game media.

  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 placement suppression flag associated with the wall placed at the connection position of the object is set. The configuration that changes from OFF to ON has been described, but the method of controlling 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, when 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 disposed at the connection position. The placed arrangement suppression flag may be changed from on to off.

  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 be changed has been described. However, the first placement at a position other than the connection position in the object. The game media placement suppression flag 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 sets the entire circumference of the combination of the two or more objects. The wall placement suppression flag associated with the two or more objects is switched from off to on, except for a plurality of walls placed over the wall.

  In addition, 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 at least 1 associated with the two or more objects. For example, when the game parameter (for example, attack power) of the at least one first game medium is greater than or equal to a predetermined value based on information about the first game medium, the entire shape of the combination of the two or more objects The wall placement suppression flag associated with the two or more objects is switched from off to on, except for a plurality of walls placed over the wall.

  With this configuration, the user can place a plurality of objects in the first virtual space without being aware of the connection positions set for the objects in the first game part. Therefore, for example, even a user unfamiliar with the game can easily execute the arrangement of objects and maintain the game balance.

  In the above-described embodiment, when the movement end operation for ending the movement of the movable object 30b is detected during execution of the first game part, the object 30b and the other object 30a overlap each other. The terminal control unit 26 may execute processing for automatically eliminating the overlap between objects.

  Specifically, the terminal control unit 26 may automatically move the object 30a in the first virtual space to a position that 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 is arranged before the movement. Alternatively, the terminal control unit 26 preferably 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 30 a from the first virtual space and display the object button 34 corresponding to the object 30 a in the object list 28.

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

  In the above-described embodiment, the configuration has been described in which the total value of the costs of all the objects arranged in the first virtual space and the capacity are compared during the execution of the first game part. A configuration using the total cost value of some objects arranged in the virtual space may be used. For example, as described above, when the first virtual space is partitioned into a plurality of regions on the xy plane (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. Partitioned. For example, in the example illustrated in FIG. 7, the first virtual space 29 is partitioned into 6 × 6 = 36 areas and partitioned into 4 large areas each including 3 × 3 = 9 areas. Is done. In such a case, the terminal control unit 26 stores the capacity in the terminal storage unit 24 in association with each large area. Subsequently, for each large area, 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.

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

  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) designating 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 designated object A (for example, a shape that does not overlap with other placed objects) is identified. Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 displays an 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 places the object B at the position where the object A has been placed. Further, the terminal control unit 26 may display the object button 34 corresponding to the deleted object A in the object list 28. Alternatively, 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, instead of deleting the object A.

  Further, for example, the terminal control unit 26 detects a user operation (for example, a tap operation on the first virtual space display area 27) that designates an arbitrary position in the first virtual space 29 displayed on the first game part screen. To do. Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 identifies an object having a shape that can be placed at the 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 displays an 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 places the corresponding object at a designated position in the first virtual space.

  In addition, for example, when the first virtual space is partitioned into a plurality of large areas on the xy plane as described above, the terminal control unit 26 can arbitrarily set the first virtual space 29 displayed on the first game part screen. A user operation (for example, a tap operation on the first virtual space display area 27) for designating the position of is detected. Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 fits in a shape (for example, 3 × 3 = 9 areas) that can be arranged in a large area including the designated position among all objects associated with the user. Identify objects with shape. Subsequently, the terminal control unit 26 displays an 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 arranges the corresponding object in a large area including the designated position in the first virtual space.

  With such a configuration, for example, only the object button 34 corresponding to the object that can be placed at the user-specified position in the first virtual space is selectively displayed in the object list 28. For this reason, the burden on the user who searches for the desired object button 34 among the many object buttons 34 displayed in the object list 28 is reduced, and usability is improved.

  In the above-described embodiment, the terminal control unit 26 may automatically define (generate) a new object during execution of the first game part. For example, as described above, when the first virtual space is partitioned into a plurality of large areas on the xy plane, the terminal control unit 26 can arbitrarily set the first virtual space 29 displayed on the first game part screen. A user operation for specifying a position (for example, a tap operation on 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 in response to a user operation. Then, the terminal control unit 26 automatically defines a new object having a shape that fits within the identified large area and associated with one or more selected first game media. Then, the terminal control unit 26 stores information regarding the defined object in the terminal storage unit 24. With such a configuration, for example, since all the objects have more object variations than a predetermined configuration, the game's interest is improved.

  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 execution of the first game part. For example, as described above, when the first virtual space is partitioned into a plurality of large areas on the xy plane, the terminal control unit 26 can arbitrarily set the first virtual space 29 displayed on the first game part screen. A user operation for specifying a position (for example, a tap operation on 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 in response to a user operation. Subsequently, when the selected object does not fit within the identified large area, the terminal control unit 26 automatically changes the shape of the object to a shape that fits within the large area, or changes the direction of the object, Automatically change the object to fit within the large area. With this configuration, the burden on the user considering the shape and orientation of the object to be placed in the first virtual space is reduced, and usability is improved.

  In the above-described embodiment, during the execution of the first game part, the terminal control unit 26 has a first arrangement associated with at least one object among one or more objects arranged in the first virtual space. Information may be stored in the terminal storage unit 24 as one piece of template information. In such a case, the terminal control unit 26 selects template information automatically or in response to a user operation in the first game part to be executed after the next time. 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 this configuration, for example, the user can collectively reflect 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. For this reason, the operation burden of the user who arranges the object in the first virtual space is reduced, and usability is improved.

  In the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the first game medium is associated with the object in advance has been described. However, the user can select the first game medium associated with the object, for example, or change it to another game medium. It may be a simple configuration. Moreover, you may provide a predetermined | prescribed restriction | limiting about the change of the 1st game content matched with the object. Specifically, the first game medium associated with the object is, for example, another first game medium having the same attribute as that of the first game medium, or another game medium below the level of the first game medium. The structure which can be changed to is conceivable. With such a configuration, various first game media can be associated with the object, so that variations of the object are increased and the interest of the game is improved. Moreover, since a predetermined restriction is provided for the change of the first game medium, the game balance can be maintained.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, for example, a configuration in which a combination of one or more objects selected by the user can be determined as one object may be used. For example, the terminal control unit 26 automatically generates (defines) one or more objects selected in response to a user operation as a new object. And the terminal control part 26 memorize | stores the information regarding a new object in the terminal memory | storage part 24. FIG. Here, the terminal control unit 26 may select one or more objects designated by the user operation, or one or more information associated with the information designated by the user operation (for example, the shape or cost of the object). The object may be automatically selected.

  In the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the object is arranged on the xy plane at z = 0 of the first virtual space has been described. However, the object is not limited to z = 0, and any object in the first virtual space It may be arranged at the position. In this configuration, for example, two or more objects may be stacked 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 region of the first virtual space. Further, the capacity is associated with the specific area, and the terminal control unit 26 does not include the specific area within the specific area only when the total cost of two or more objects is equal to or less than the capacity associated with the area. The two or more objects may be allowed to be stacked and arranged. As the first game medium associated with the objects stacked in the positive z-axis direction, for example, a flying character or an airship that attacks the ground game medium from the air can be considered.

  In addition, for the objects stacked in the z-axis direction, the terminal control unit 26 may determine whether 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. A condition that there is a relationship (for example, two connection positions exist in substantially the same position in the first virtual space) may be included. In such a case, for example, in order to achieve the first condition or the second condition, the user moves the two or more objects so that the connection positions of the two or more objects are substantially the same position in the first virtual space. Deploy.

  In the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the game parameters of a part of the first game media associated with the selected object 50 are collectively changed in the third game part has been described. The configuration may be such that the game parameters of all the first game media associated with 50 are collectively changed. In such a configuration, among the objects 50 arranged in the first virtual space 49, a plurality of objects 50 associated with the same object name may be selected simultaneously. Specifically, when a user operation on the object 50 on the third game part screen is detected, the terminal control unit 26 simultaneously selects all the objects associated with the same object name as the object 50. With this configuration, the game parameters of the first game media associated with the plurality of objects 50 can be changed in a lump, improving usability.

  In the above-described embodiment, for example, the first game part and the third game part may be integrated. In this configuration, the terminal control unit 26 executes, for example, the first game part process and the third game part process described above in parallel.

  In the above-described embodiment, each user owns the second game medium, and one of the owned second game contents is used in the second game part. However, the second game part is used in the second game part. The second game medium is not limited to this. For example, the configuration may be such that each user does not own the game media individually, and a game media common to all users is used for the game. In this way, regardless of the type and effectiveness of the game media that the user owns, each user progresses the game under fair conditions, so the proportion of the user's game play technology contributing to the score increases. Therefore, the user is encouraged to improve the game play technique, and the user's interest in the game is improved.

  In the above-described embodiment, a part of various game screens is a web display that is displayed on the terminal device 12 based on the data generated by the server device 11, and a part of the game screen (for example, a menu button is arranged). Header area and footer area) may be displayed natively by a native application installed in the terminal device 12. As described above, the game according to the above-described embodiment may be a hybrid game in which each of the server device 11 and the terminal device 12 takes part of the processing.

  In addition, in order to function as the server device 11 or the terminal device 12 according to the above-described embodiment, an information processing device such as a computer or a mobile phone can be suitably used. Such an information processing device stores a program describing processing contents for realizing each function of the server device 11 or the terminal device 12 according to the embodiment in a storage unit of the information processing device, and the CPU of the information processing device performs the processing. This can be realized by reading and executing the program.
