  Hereinafter, embodiments of a puzzle output device and the like will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, since the component which attached | subjected the same code | symbol in embodiment performs the same operation | movement, description may be abbreviate | omitted again.

(Embodiment 1)
In this embodiment, a rectangular puzzle sheet will be described. The sheet is preferably a puzzle sheet [0] created by a puzzle output device to be described later. In addition, although a square is suitable for a rectangle in this specification, a rectangle may be sufficient. In addition, the rectangle in this specification is not necessarily an exact rectangle, and may have rounded corners, distortion, and the like, and is widely understood.

  An example of this sheet is shown in FIG. This sheet has a triangle inside. Moreover, this sheet | seat has a rectangle (square or rectangle) comprised by two or more triangles inside. Here, two or more triangles are 2 × n triangles (n is a natural number of 1 or more). Moreover, this sheet | seat has a triangle comprised by two or more triangles inside. Here, two or more triangles are 2 × n triangles (n is a natural number of 1 or more). Moreover, the smallest triangle among the triangles in the rectangle of the sheet is appropriately referred to as a frame. In the puzzle sheet, one number is written in each frame. In the present specification, numbers are understood as widely as identifiable characters and symbols. In other words, it is understood that the numbers described in the frame include alphabets, hiragana (“A, I, U ...”, “I, R, H ...”, etc.), katakana, symbols, and the like. That is, in this specification, the number may be any information that can be identified. Note that it is preferable that the characters, symbols, and the like described in the frames are characters, symbols, and the like having order.

  In addition, this sheet is a rectangular sheet, and at least 8 triangles formed by drawing at least diagonal lines connecting the vertices of the rectangle and vertical and horizontal lines parallel to the sides of the rectangle inside the rectangle. Have.

  Also, in this sheet, a plurality of numbers are usually arranged in any triangle of 8 or more. In addition, a plurality of numbers arranged on the sheet and a number described (input) by the user match two or more constraints on a set of numbers arranged in each of eight or more triangles. In addition, the plurality of numbers arranged on the sheet is a set of numbers excluding a part of the sets of numbers that are at least partially different.

  Here, one of the two or more constraints is a set of numbers in which a set of two or more numbers in a plurality of triangles having a predetermined arrangement relationship has a predetermined regularity. This is a constraint.

  Further, one of the two or more constraints is a constraint that a sum of two or more numbers in a plurality of triangles having a predetermined arrangement relationship satisfies a predetermined condition. Here, the constraint that the sum of two or more numbers in a plurality of triangles having a predetermined arrangement relationship satisfies a predetermined condition is that the two triangles having a predetermined arrangement relationship are in the two triangles. This is a constraint that the sum of the two numbers is 9.

  One of the two or more constraints is a constraint that a set of two or more numbers in a plurality of triangles having a predetermined arrangement relationship forms a continuous number string.

  In addition, one of the two or more constraints is that 8 triangles arranged in each of 4 columns and 8 triangles arranged in each of 4 rows are 1 to 8 consecutive. The restriction is that one of the numeric strings is arranged so as not to overlap.

  Here, the two or more constraints are, for example, (1) numbers 1 to 8 do not overlap each frame of all columns (in FIG. 1, 4 columns, 8 columns). (2) There are two constraints that the numbers 1 to 8 do not overlap each frame of all the rows (in FIG. 1, four rows, one row and eight triangles). An example of a puzzle that satisfies this requirement (the final puzzle result) is shown in FIG. Note that (1) is called a column condition, and (2) is called a row condition.

  Here, in addition to the above (1) and (2), for example, in addition to the above (1) and (2), (3) 8 triangles (frames) arranged diagonally have numbers 1 to 8 overlapped. There are three constraints with the constraint of entering without. FIG. 3 is an example of a puzzle that satisfies this requirement (final puzzle result). Note that (3) is referred to as an oblique condition.

  Here, for example, in addition to (1) and (2) above, (4) all eight frames arranged in a circle have a number sequence of numbers 1 to 8 in addition to (1) and (2) above. There are three constraints with the constraint that any one of them is arranged so as not to overlap. The eight frames arranged in a circle are eight triangles straddled by a figure (here, a circle (see FIG. 3) constituted by a broken line). FIG. 3 shows an example of a puzzle that satisfies this requirement (final puzzle result). That is, FIG. 3 satisfies the four constraints (1) to (4). Note that (4) is referred to as a circle condition. Further, in a circle condition, a single frame number can be a plurality of constraints.

  In FIG. 3, 12345678 are arranged in order in the first column (horizontal column) (see 31 in FIG. 3), and the reverse order is arranged in the second column (see 32 in FIG. 3). The third and fourth columns are divided into groups 1234 and 5678, and the normal order and reverse order are alternately arranged (see 33 and 34 in FIG. 3). By the above processing, numbers 1 to 8 are arranged in a circular shape in addition to the vertical, horizontal, and diagonal directions. That is, the four restrictions (1) to (4) are satisfied by the arrangement of numbers by the above algorithm. Such an algorithm is referred to as “Straight Algorithm”.

  In addition, when arranging the numbers, they are randomly arranged in order of 12345678 in the middle eight frames (41 in FIG. 4). Next, two numbers (for example, “2, 3” (43 in FIG. 4)) of the pair of the middle eight frames are replaced with 8 frames (42 in FIG. 4) around the middle eight frames 2 Two numbers “3, 2” are arranged on the opposite side (44 in FIG. 4). By applying (1) column conditions and (4) circle conditions to the remaining frames, the arrangement of all numbers is determined. This algorithm is called “Circle Algorithm”. The Circle Algorithm can arrange numbers without any problem even if it starts with 8 frames corresponding to a circle of any of the 4 corners. In other words, for example, first, 12345678 are randomly arranged in order in eight frames corresponding to the circle in the upper left corner. Second, eight frames corresponding to the upper right corner circle and the eight frames corresponding to the upper right corner circle and the eight frames corresponding to the lower left corner circle are subject to the row condition and the column condition, and the eight frames corresponding to the upper right corner circle. , And eight frames corresponding to the circle in the lower left corner can be filled. Third, restrictions on row conditions and column conditions are applied to the eight frames corresponding to the circle at the lower right corner, and the eight frames corresponding to the circle at the lower right corner can be filled. Here, the case of filling from the eight frames corresponding to the center circle is called CenterCircleAlgorithm, and the case of filling from the eight frames corresponding to any one of the four circles is called CornerCircleAlgorithm.

  Here, two or more constraints are, for example, in addition to (1), (2), (3), and (4) above, (5) a similar triangle (e.g., composed of eight triangles (frames)) The five constraints have the constraint that the numbers 1 to 8 do not overlap in each of the eight frames constituting 51) of FIG. FIG. 5 is an example of a puzzle that satisfies this requirement (final puzzle result). Note that (5) is called a triangular condition.

  In FIG. 5, the numbers 1 to 8 are arranged without overlapping in any of the triangular eight frames (for example, the eight frames (51) constituting the lower triangle). Next, the arranged 3 · 4 and 7 · 8 are arranged in a point-symmetrical position, the reverse order of 1 · 2 is placed on the opposite position, and the reverse order of 5 · 6 is put under the first 8 An 8-frame triangle (52 in FIG. 5) facing the frame triangle is filled. Next, (1) column conditions and (4) circle conditions are applied to determine all the frame numbers. Such an algorithm is referred to as “Triangle Algorithm”.

  Here, the two or more constraints include, for example, a constraint that a sum of two or more numbers in a plurality of frames having a predetermined arrangement relationship satisfies a predetermined condition. In particular, the constraint of 2 or more is, for example, in addition to the above (1) to (5), (6) eight circular numbers are formed by two line-symmetric triangles whose sum is always 9. There are six constraints that have the constraint that they are arranged in the same manner. FIG. 6 is an example of a puzzle that satisfies this requirement (final puzzle result). Note that (6) is referred to as a sum condition.

  Also, here, combinations where the sum is 9 are 1 and 8, 2 and 7, 3 and 6, 4 and 5. First, two combinations (for example, “1 and 8” and “2 and 7”) are selected from these combinations and arranged vertically at both left and right ends. At this time, the selected two numbers need to be arranged in a positive order at point-symmetric positions (61 in FIG. 6). Next, the remaining two combinations (for example, “3 and 6” and “4 and 5”) are arranged in the same order of point symmetry in the same direction at the upper and lower ends in the horizontal direction (62 in FIG. 6). Next, the sum condition of (6) is satisfied only by putting the other 9 which is the sum of the two numbers of the two frames to be pointed with respect to the center point in the remaining two frames of each of the two columns. Such an algorithm is referred to as “Pair Algorithm”.

  Here, two or more constraints are, for example, in addition to the above (1) to (6), (7) overlap of 1 to 8 with respect to 8 frames (71 in FIG. 7) having a line symmetrical relationship. There are seven constraints with the constraint that the numbers that are not to be placed. FIG. 7 is an example of a puzzle that satisfies this requirement (final puzzle result). Note that (7) is called a line symmetry condition.

  In FIG. 7, first, eight frames having a line symmetrical relationship are selected and 1234 and 5678 are inserted (71 in FIG. 7). Next, while adhering to the point symmetry normal order, 8 is placed next to 1 and 4 is placed next to 5 (that is, the sum of two adjacent numbers is 9). Then, numbers are arranged in the empty frame so as to satisfy (1) column conditions and the like. By such processing, FIG. 7 is completed. Such an algorithm is referred to as “Symmetry Algorithm”. It should be noted that the point symmetry normal order is arranged so that, for example, 8 is placed next to 1 so that the sum is 9, and 1 · 8 is placed at point symmetry without changing the order of 1 · 8. It is that.

  It is preferable that the two or more constraints are constraints on a set of numbers in a figure having two or more different shapes. Here, the different shapes are a rectangle (rectangle) and a triangle. The rectangle in the puzzle is, for example, a column (for example, 11 in FIG. 1), a row (for example, 12 in FIG. 1) or a square (for example, 13 in FIG. 1). Further, the triangles in the puzzle are, for example, 14 and 15 in FIG.

  Further, two or more constraints include not only a set of triangles arranged vertically and a set of triangles arranged horizontally, but also a set of triangles arranged diagonally (for example, an ellipse shown by 16 in FIG. 1). It is also preferable to include constraints on (eight triangles on the inner diagonal).

  Examples of the mount of this sheet are shown in FIGS. The mount is a sheet in which all numbers are erased from the puzzle sheet. In FIG. 8, three vertical lines, three horizontal lines, two oblique lines connecting the vertices of the rectangle, and four oblique lines connecting the intersections of the sides of the rectangle and the vertical lines or horizontal lines in the rectangle. [0] The inside has 32 triangles (frames) in which numerals can be arranged by rectangular sides, vertical lines, horizontal lines, and diagonal lines.

  Further, in FIG. 9, a figure straddling all the triangles arranged in a circle in the sheet is also arranged. Here, the figure straddling the triangle is a circle, but it may be a figure having another shape such as an ellipse or a rectangle. In such a case, one of the two or more constraints is a constraint on a set of a plurality of numbers arranged in a plurality of triangles straddled by a graphic. Further, it is preferable that the one restriction here is a restriction that a set of a plurality of numbers arranged in a plurality of triangles straddling a figure is a number that continues from one.

  In the present embodiment, for example, numbers in the puzzle sheet may be removed by the following first to third methods as compared with a state in which numbers are arranged in all frames. . First, a predetermined number of numbers are removed from the numbers in the column or row. Second, n numbers are randomly removed. Third, in the puzzle of FIG. 2 and the like, the numbers 1 to 8 are randomly removed one by one. For example, if there is a premise that a plurality of solutions are eliminated and a single solution is used, it is necessary to exclude 16 numbers in BasicCondition (vertical, horizontal, and diagonal). Further, when the FullCondition is satisfied by using the Triangle Algorithm, it can be a single solution in the exclusion method of leaving 8 pieces, that is, excluding 24 numbers. Assuming that multiple solutions are assumed, in principle, there are no restrictions on how to remove them. In general, the number exclusion method is determined by determining the number of solutions that can be taken.

  Moreover, it is suitable that a number is removed according to the difficulty level. More specifically, it is preferable that the higher the difficulty level, the larger the number of numbers to be removed.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, an expandable puzzle game can be provided. Further, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide a puzzle game with a high degree of difficulty.

  Specifically, according to the present embodiment, since there are two types of shapes, a rectangle (a small rectangle compared to the whole rectangle) and a triangle, inside the rectangle of the puzzle game, the object to be restricted is It becomes diversified, it is possible to give various applied constraints to the basic constraints, and an extensible puzzle game can be provided.

  More specifically, the object to be constrained is a rectangle such as a column, row, or square (the above circle (circle)), a triangle composed of two, four, or eight frames, or two adjacent ones. There are various types such as a triangle composed of two frames, a plurality of point-symmetric frames, and a plurality of line-symmetric frames. In other words, since there are various shapes to be restricted, an expandable puzzle game can be provided.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the puzzle is not limited to placing numbers in a frame without overlapping, but the sum of numbers placed in a plurality of (for example, two) frames is determined in advance. A plurality of types of constraints, such as a constraint of a certain number (for example, “9”), can be used. In other words, since the contents of the constraints are diverse, an expandable puzzle game can be provided.

The mount information includes information indicating that at least diagonal lines connecting the vertices of the rectangle and vertical lines and horizontal lines parallel to the sides of the rectangle are drawn in the rectangle. Here, the oblique line may be an oblique line connecting the intersections of the vertical lines and the horizontal lines, an oblique line connecting the intersections of the rectangular sides and the vertical lines, or an oblique line connecting the intersections of the rectangular sides and the horizontal lines. Moreover, about the triangle here, a rectangle is comprised by two adjacent triangles, for example. The data structure of the mount information does not matter. Vector data composed of a plurality of lines or the like may be used, or bitmap data or the like may be used. Here, the mount information is information on the mount of the puzzle in which no numbers are arranged, and is information for configuring FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, for example. In FIG. 8, the rectangular mount includes a rectangle (81), three vertical lines (82), three horizontal lines (83), two diagonal lines (84) connecting the vertices of the rectangle, and a rectangular side and a vertical line. There are four diagonal lines (85) connecting the intersections with the lines or horizontal lines inside, and 32 triangles on which numbers can be arranged are constituted by rectangular sides, vertical lines, horizontal lines, and diagonal lines. The rectangle (81) is a thick line in FIG.

  The mount information may include a figure that straddles all the triangles arranged in a circle in the mount. The mount composed of the mount information in this case is shown in FIG. In FIG. 9, the figure (91) straddling the triangle is constituted by a circular broken line. In FIG. 9, there are five figures (91) straddling the triangle, but four figures may be used. When there are four figures (91) straddling the triangle, for example, there is no figure of the center circle.

  The constraint storage unit 12 can store two or more constraint information. The constraint information is information indicating a constraint on a set of numbers arranged in each of eight or more triangles (frames).

  The constraint information is, for example, constraint information indicating a constraint that a set of two or more numbers in a plurality of triangles having a predetermined arrangement relationship is a set of numbers having a predetermined regularity. .

  The constraint information is constraint information indicating a constraint that, for example, the sum of two or more numbers in a plurality of triangles having a predetermined arrangement relationship satisfies a predetermined condition. Here, the predetermined arrangement relationship is, for example, two triangles that are adjacent to each other to form a triangle, and two triangles that are adjacent to the two triangles that are adjacent to the triangle, and the four triangles are rectangular. The two triangles that constitute

  Also, the constraint information is constraint information indicating a constraint that a set of two or more numbers in a plurality of triangles having a predetermined arrangement relationship constitutes a continuous number string, for example.

  In addition, the constraint information is, for example, any one of 8 to 9 consecutive numeric strings in each of 8 triangles arranged in 4 columns and 8 triangles arranged in 4 rows. Is the constraint information indicating the constraint that they are arranged so as not to overlap. Here, the four oblique lines are usually lines having a length of ½ compared to the two oblique lines connecting the vertices of the rectangle.

  The constraint information is constraint information indicating a constraint that, for example, the sum of two or more numbers in a plurality of triangles having a predetermined arrangement relationship satisfies a predetermined condition. The constraint information is constraint information indicating a constraint that, for example, the sum of two numbers in two triangles having a predetermined arrangement relationship is 9. Here, the predetermined arrangement relationship is, for example, two triangles having one side in common or two triangles having one vertex in common.

  In addition, the constraint information is information indicating constraints on a set of a plurality of numbers arranged in a plurality of triangles straddled by a graphic, for example. Here, the plurality of triangles that the figure spans are, for example, a plurality of triangles that share one vertex, and a plurality of triangles that have a sum of apex angles corresponding to the vertex of 360 degrees. In addition, a figure straddling a plurality of triangles is usually a circle, but may be an ellipse or a rectangle. The figure straddling a plurality of triangles is 91 in FIG. 9, for example.

  The constraint information is constraint information indicating a constraint that, for example, a set of a plurality of numbers arranged in a plurality of triangles straddling a graphic is a number that continues from 1.

  In the above, the predetermined arrangement relationship is, for example, a relationship arranged in a column, a relationship arranged in a row, a relationship in which one vertex coincides, a relationship in which one vertex coincides and forms a circle, A point symmetry with respect to a specific point such as the center of a rectangle, where n is a natural number greater than or equal to 1, for example, 2 triangles, a line symmetry with respect to a specific line such as a central vertical line or horizontal line N (n is a natural number of 1 or more, for example, 2). In addition, in the above, the set of numbers having regularity is, for example, a set of numbers that are consecutive from 1, a set of numbers that are continuous from 1 and having a non-overlapping relationship, Such as a set.

  The number determination unit 13 is a number to be arranged in each of the eight or more triangles (frames) so as to match two or more constraints indicated by the two or more constraint information. It is determined in association with (frame). Here, the state in which numbers are associated with the frames is a state in which the numbers to be arranged are determined when the frames are determined. Here, the two or more constraints may be regarded as two or more types of constraints. For example, in FIG. 1, a constraint that numbers 1 to 8 are arranged without duplication in each of four columns may be regarded as four constraints or a single constraint. When this constraint is regarded as one constraint, the number of constraints is counted for each type of constraint. Further, for example, in FIG. 1, there is a restriction that numbers 1 to 8 are arranged without duplication in each of four columns, and a restriction that numbers 1 to 8 are arranged without duplication in each of four rows. , May be regarded as eight constraints, or may be regarded as two constraints. Further, the number determination unit 13 is configured to perform (1) column condition, (2) row condition, (3) oblique condition, (4) circle condition, (5) triangle condition, and (6) sum condition described in the first embodiment. Among them, it is preferable to determine the numbers arranged in each of the eight or more frames so as to match two or more constraints in association with each frame. The (1) column condition, (2) row condition, and (4) circle condition described in the first embodiment are considered to be the same type of restriction because the restriction target is a triangle (frame) in a rectangle. May be. In this case, the restrictions (1) to (6) are as follows: (A) Restriction of the frame in the rectangle ((1) (2) (4)), (B) Oblique condition (restriction on the triangle on the diagonal line) (C) Triangular conditions (constraints for a plurality of frames constituting a triangle), (D) Sum conditions (same as (6) above), and in such a case, there are four types of constraints.

The number determination unit 13 uses, for example, one or two or more algorithms of “Straight Algorithm”, “Circle Algorithm”, “Triangle Algorithm”, “Pair Algorithm”, and “Symmetry Algorithm” described in the first embodiment. The number to be placed in the frame is determined so as to meet the constraints of. Hereinafter, the processing of the number determination unit 13 will be described for each algorithm. It is assumed that the number determination unit 13 holds a frame identifier that identifies a frame in association with a frame (minimum triangle) in a rectangle (pointing to the rectangle of the entire puzzle).
(1) “Straight Algorithm”

  First, the number determination unit 13 arranges numbers 1 to 8 in the first horizontal row in the rectangle (see, for example, 31 in FIG. 3). In addition, arrangement | positioning of a number is acquiring the response | compatibility with a frame identifier and a number, for example.

  Secondly, the number determining unit 13 places the arranged 3 · 4 and 7 · 8 in a point-symmetrical (point-symmetrical with respect to the center point of the rectangle) position, and places the reverse order of 1 · 2 facing each other. And put the reverse order of 5 · 6 under it and fill the 8-frame triangle (52 in FIG. 5) facing the first 8-frame triangle.

As described above, the arrangement of all the numbers is determined as shown in FIG.
(4) “Pair Algorithm”

  First, the number determination unit 13 selects two combinations (for example, “1 and 8” and “2 and 7”) from combinations of 9 of 1 and 8, 2 and 7, 3 and 6, 4 and 5. They are selected and arranged at both left and right ends (for example, 61 in FIG. 6). At this time, the selected two numbers need to be arranged in a positive order at point-symmetric positions (61 in FIG. 6).

  Secondly, the number determining unit 13 arranges the remaining two combinations (for example, “3 and 6” and “4 and 5”) in the same order of point symmetry in the horizontal upper and lower ends (62 in FIG. 6).

Also, the number determination unit 13 arranges the remaining two numbers “3” and “4” in the remaining frame of the column 64 so as to satisfy (1) the column condition.

  Fourth, the number determination unit 13 arranges the remaining two numbers “1” and “2” in the remaining frame of the row 65 so as to satisfy (2) the row condition.

  Fifth, the number determination unit 13 arranges numbers for the remaining frames so as to satisfy (1) column conditions and (2) row conditions.

  As described above, the arrangement of all the numbers is determined as shown in FIG.

The first vertical left and right ends may be changed to the horizontal left and right ends, and the second horizontal left and right ends may be changed to the vertical left and right ends. Further, in the above, “1 and 8” and “2 and 7” are selected in the first, but there are various variations in the method of acquiring the two numbers in the first.
(5) "Symmetry Algorithm"

  First, the number determination unit 13 selects eight frames having a line-symmetric relationship and arranges 1234 and 5678 (71 in FIG. 7).

  Secondly, the number determination unit 13 arranges 8 etc. next to 1 and 5 next to 1 arranged in the first while observing the point symmetry regular order. Here, the number determination unit 13 arranges the numbers so that the sum of two adjacent numbers is 9.

  As described above, the arrangement of all the numbers is determined as shown in FIG.

  First, there can be various methods for selecting eight frames that are in a line-symmetric relationship.

  The assignment board configuration unit 14 forms assignment board information. The issue mount information is information on a mount that provides an issue to be solved. The task mount information is a mount in which numbers are arranged in each triangle of 8 or more except at least a part, and depending on the numbers that can be described in an empty triangle in which no numbers are arranged, It is information on the mount that can satisfy two or more pieces of constraint information. The task mount information includes, for example, mount information, and a set of n identifiers and frame identifiers. Here, n is smaller than the number of frames (M) in the mount information.

Here, in the method of excluding at least a part, it is preferable that empty frames do not concentrate in a plurality of continuous frame regions. That is, it is preferable that the empty frames are dispersed. Further, it is preferable that the assignment board configuration unit 14 configures the assignment board information having a different number of empty frames according to the difficulty level information received by the reception unit 10. Usually, the higher the difficulty level indicated by the difficulty level information, the more empty frames. In addition, it is preferable that the assignment board configuration unit 14 creates an empty frame that matches the number of deleted numbers received by the reception unit 10 and forms the assignment board information. Further, it is preferable that the task board configuration unit 14 determines the number of frames in the rectangle according to the frame number information received by the receiving unit 10. The number of frames indicated by the number of frames information is preferably 32, but may be 8, 16, 64, 146, or the like. It is preferable that the number of frames indicated by the number of frames information is 2 ⁿ (n is a natural number of 3 or more).

  The assignment mount component unit 14 arranges the numbers in each triangle of 8 or more except for at least a part of the 8 or more numbers determined by the number determination unit 13 in the mount configured by the mount information. By doing so, it is preferable to construct problem board information that is a board on which one or more numbers are arranged, and is a board that provides a problem to be solved.

  The number deletion unit 141 constituting the assignment mount configuration unit 14 deletes at least a part of the 8 or more numbers determined by the number determination unit 13. It should be noted that the deletion here includes a process of preventing output, and is widely understood. The process for preventing output is, for example, a process for assigning a deletion flag. The number deleting unit 141 performs, for example, one of the following processes from the first to the third. First, the number deletion unit 141 deletes a predetermined number of numbers among the numbers in the column or row. Second, the number deletion unit 141 deletes n numbers at random. Third, the number deletion unit 141 randomly deletes the numbers 1 to 8 one by one in the puzzle of FIG. In addition, in the numbers to be deleted, two numbers may be used instead of one number of 1 to 8, one by two.

  The assignment board configuration means 142 receives the processing result of the number deletion means 141 and acquires assignment board information. The assignment board information includes, for example, n sets of frame identifiers and numbers. Note that n is smaller than the number M of frames in the rectangle.

  The output unit 15 outputs task board information. The output unit 15 outputs the task mount on which one or more numbers are arranged using the task mount information. It may be considered that outputting the issue mount is equivalent to outputting the issue mount information. Here, output refers to display on a display, projection using a projector, printing with a printer, sound output, transmission to an external device, storage in a recording medium, and output to other processing devices or other programs. It is a concept that includes delivery of processing results. In addition, it is suitable for the output part 15 to print 1 or 2 or more subject mounts, and to obtain 1 or 2 or more sheets for puzzles.

  The receiving unit 10 can be realized by a device driver for input means such as a keyboard, control software for a menu screen, or the like.

  The mount storage unit 11 and the constraint storage unit 12 are preferably non-volatile recording media, but can also be realized by volatile recording media. There is no limitation on the process in which the mount information or the like is stored in the mount storage unit 11 or the like. For example, the mount information or the like may be stored in the mount storage unit 11 or the like via a recording medium, and the mount information or the like transmitted via a communication line or the like may be stored in the mount storage unit 11 or the like. Alternatively, the mount information input via the input device may be stored in the mount storage unit 11 or the like.

  The number determination unit 13, the task mount configuration unit 14, the number deletion unit 141, and the task mount configuration unit 142 can usually be realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the number determination unit 13 or the like is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  The output unit 15 may or may not include an output device such as a display or a speaker. The output unit 15 can be realized by driver software for an output device or driver software for an output device and an output device.

  Next, operation | movement of the puzzle output apparatus 1 is demonstrated using the flowchart of FIG.

  (Step S1101) The accepting unit 10 determines whether an activation instruction or the like has been accepted. If an activation instruction or the like is accepted, the process goes to step S1102, and if no activation instruction or the like is accepted, the process returns to step S1101. It is assumed that the activation instruction includes information related to the number to be deleted in step S1104. The information regarding the numbers to be deleted is, for example, difficulty level information, deletion number information, and the like.

  (Step S1102) The number determination part 13 determines the number which should be arrange | positioned to a frame. The number determination unit 13 uses any one or more of the above-described “Straight Algorithm”, “Circle Algorithm”, “Triangle Algorithm”, “Pair Algorithm”, “Symmetry Algorithm”, etc. To decide. In addition, the number determination unit 13 acquires M pieces of in-frame number information that is a set of a frame identifier and a number. M is the number of frames included in the mount information, and is 32 in FIG. 1, for example.

  (Step S <b> 1103) The task mount configuration unit 14 reads mount information from the mount storage unit 11. The mount information is, for example, information constituting the symbol in FIG.

  (Step S1104) The assignment mount composition unit 14 deletes a part of the numbers determined in step S1102. In other words, for example, the assignment board configuration unit 14 deletes a number out of the M pieces of in-frame number information. Note that the assignment mount component 14 does not normally delete the frame identifier. “A” is determined based on the difficulty level information and the deletion number information received by the receiving unit 10. “A” increases as the difficulty level indicated by the difficulty level information increases or as the number of deletions indicated by the deletion number information increases. Moreover, since the example of the number deletion process performed by the task mount component 14 has been described above, description thereof is omitted here.

  (Step S1105) The assignment mount configuration unit 14 uses the mount information read in step S1103 and the M pieces of in-frame number information (some of the numbers are NULL) as the processing result in step S1104. Configure information.

  (Step S1106) The output unit 15 outputs the task mount information configured in step S1105. FIG. 12 shows an output example of assignment board information.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 11, the mount information is stored in advance in the mount storage unit 11. However, the receiving unit 10 may receive the frame number information in step S1101, and a means (not shown) may automatically configure the mount information according to the frame number information and accumulate it in the mount storage unit 11. If the number of frames indicated by the frame number information is determined, the mount information is determined.

Note that the output of the task mount in the output step here is preferably printing of the task mount.

  Moreover, the following puzzle sheet is produced by the output of the above-mentioned problem mount. Such a sheet is a rectangular puzzle sheet, and at least eight diagonal triangles connecting at least the vertexes of the rectangle and vertical and horizontal lines parallel to the sides of the rectangle are drawn in the rectangle.

  More specifically, the object to be constrained is a rectangle such as a column, row, or square (the above circle (circle)), a triangle composed of two, four, or eight frames, or two adjacent ones. There are various types such as a triangle composed of two frames, a plurality of point-symmetric frames, and a plurality of line-symmetric frames. In other words, since the target shapes to which the restriction is applied are various, a scalable puzzle game can be output.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the puzzle is not limited to placing numbers in a frame without overlapping, but the sum of numbers placed in a plurality of (for example, two) frames is determined in advance. A plurality of types of constraints, such as a constraint of a certain number (for example, “9”), can be used. In other words, since the contents of the constraints are diverse, an expandable puzzle game can be output.

  Note that the processing in the present embodiment may be realized by software. Then, this software may be distributed by software download or the like. Further, this software may be recorded and distributed on a recording medium such as a CD-ROM. This also applies to other embodiments in this specification. In addition, the software which implement | achieves the puzzle output device 1 in this Embodiment is the following programs.

The task mount information may be information including a figure straddling all the triangles arranged in a circle in the mount. Note that it is preferable that the task mount information is configured by the puzzle output device 1 described in the second embodiment.

  The mount output unit 23 outputs task mount information. That is, the mount output unit 23 outputs the puzzle task mount using the task mount information. It can be said that the task board is a puzzle sheet. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the assignment mount is a mount in which a part of the frame is empty (no numerals are arranged).

  The receiving unit 24 receives information, instructions, and the like from the user. The information is, for example, a number input in the frame of the assignment mount. In this case, the information received by the receiving unit 24 is, for example, a set of a frame identifier and a number. That is, the reception unit 24 receives, for example, one or more numbers for one or more triangles in which numbers are not arranged in the puzzle task mount output by the mount output unit 23. The instruction is, for example, an output instruction or an end instruction. The output instruction is an instruction to output the task mount. The output instruction may be considered as an instruction to start the game. The end instruction is an instruction for determining whether or not the input number matches two or more constraints after the number is input in all empty frames. It can be said that the end instruction is an instruction to end the puzzle game.

  Here, reception means reception of information input from an input device such as a keyboard, mouse, touch panel, reception of information transmitted via a wired or wireless communication line, recording on an optical disk, magnetic disk, semiconductor memory, or the like.

  The output unit 26 outputs the determination result of the determination unit 25. The output mode of the determination result is not limited. The output unit 26 may display a determination result or may output a sound. It is preferable that the output unit 26 outputs the numbers that do not match the constraints visually distinguished from other numbers.

  The constraint storage unit 12 and the mount storage unit 22 are preferably non-volatile recording media, but can also be realized by volatile recording media.

For example, constraint information or the like may be stored in the constraint storage unit 12 or the like via a recording medium, and constraint information or the like transmitted via a communication line or the like may be stored in the constraint storage unit 12 or the like. Alternatively, the constraint information input via the input device may be stored in the constraint storage unit 12 or the like.

The processing procedure of the determination unit 25 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  Next, operation | movement of the puzzle game apparatus 2 is demonstrated using the flowchart of FIG.

  (Step S1401) The reception unit 24 determines whether an output instruction has been received. If an output instruction is accepted, the process proceeds to step S1402. If an output instruction is not accepted, the process proceeds to step S1404.

  (Step S1402) The mount output unit 23 reads the task mount information from the mount storage unit 22.

  (Step S1403) The mount output unit 23 outputs the task mount using the task mount information read in step S1402. The process returns to step S1401. An example of the task mount is shown in FIG.

  (Step S1404) The receiving unit 24 determines whether or not a number is received in an empty frame. If a number is accepted, the process goes to step S1405, and if no number is accepted, the process goes to step S1408.

  (Step S1405) The accepting unit 24 obtains a frame identifier for identifying a frame that has received a number. For example, the task board information includes a frame identifier and information indicating the area (for example, three coordinates constituting a triangle).

Further, it is assumed that the problem mount information of FIG. 1 is stored in the mount storage unit 22.

  In such a case, it is assumed that the user inputs an output instruction in the puzzle game apparatus 2 (FIG. 18). Then, the mount output unit 23 reads the task mount information (information of the puzzle sheet in FIG. 1) from the mount storage unit 22. Next, the mount output unit 23 outputs the task mount using the read task mount information (see FIG. 18). In FIG. 18, if a “hint” button is pressed, a puzzle hint is output, and if an “end” button is pressed, an end instruction is accepted. That is, it is determined by the “end” button whether the numerical value input by the user matches the constraint.

  Next, the user inputs the number “8” in the frame (181) of FIG. 18, inputs the number “6” in the frame (182) of FIG. 18, and the number “5” in the frame (183) of FIG. And the number “5” is entered in the frame (184) of FIG. Then, the reception unit 24 acquires a frame identifier that identifies a frame that has received a number. Then, the receiving unit 24 temporarily stores the acquired frame identifier and the received set of numbers in a buffer (not shown).

  Next, it is assumed that the user has pressed the “end” button. Then, the reception unit 24 receives an end instruction.

  Next, the determination unit 25 performs determination processing as described with reference to FIGS. 15, 16, and 17. That is, the determination unit 25 determines whether or not the set of numbers input by the user matches (1) the column condition, (2) the row condition, and (4) the triangular condition. Here, the determination unit 25 determines that the set of numbers input by the user matches all constraints. Then, the determination unit 25 assigns “success” to the processing result. Next, the output unit 26 outputs the processing result “success”. Here, for example, it is assumed that the output unit 26 outputs the information “I was able to improve” corresponding to the processing result “success”. Note that the output unit 26 stores the information “I am satisfied” in association with the processing result “success”.
