(Embodiment)
A computer game according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

<Game device>
The game apparatus 10 on which the computer game according to the present embodiment is executed is a smartphone, a portable game machine, a PC, or the like, and is not particularly limited. FIG. 1 shows a functional block diagram of the game apparatus 10. The game apparatus 10 includes a control unit 11 including a CPU and a memory, a display unit 12 that displays an image, a storage unit 13 that stores various data, and an input unit 14 that is a pointing device, which are appropriately connected to each other. The display unit 12 and the input unit 14 are preferably a touch panel formed integrally. An input operation for designating a position on the display unit 12 can be performed on the input unit 14. The game apparatus 10 may include a communication unit that performs other wireless communication.

<Game processing>
An example of game processing according to the present embodiment will be described below. The game process is performed by the control unit 11 reading and executing the game program stored in the storage unit 13. The game program is a command for causing the CPU of the control unit 11 to execute steps described later. The game program may include game data. The game data includes, as an example, information indicating mechanical characteristics such as the position, shape, mass, and rebound coefficient of one or more objects arranged in the virtual game space of each game stage.

Each processing step is illustrated in FIG. 2 and described below.
Step S101: The control unit 11 selects a game stage. A plurality of game stages are prepared. For example, a game stage may be selected according to an instruction from the player, or an uncleared game stage may be selected according to the degree of progress of the stage.

  Step S102: The control unit 11 arranges an object at a predetermined position in the virtual game space based on the game data corresponding to the selected game stage. There may be one object or two or more objects. The object placed in this step is an object that exists in advance at the start of the game. This object is called a predetermined object.

  Step S103: The control unit 11 generates and arranges objects in positions and shapes according to the input operation based on the input operation of the player received by the input unit 14. This object is called a player definition object. A player-defined object cannot be generated at a position where another object exists. Further, depending on the game stage, there may be an area in the virtual game space where a player definition object cannot be generated. In this case, the game data may include information for the control unit 11 to refer to an area where the player definition object can be generated. Note that this step is not executed while no input operation is performed.

  Step S104: The control unit 11 performs an operation on the predetermined object and the player definition object based on a predetermined rule. An operation based on a predetermined rule is an operation based on a rule including at least a part of a dynamic law, and includes a so-called physical operation. The control unit 11 performs a physical calculation and controls the movement of the predetermined object and the player definition object. The movement referred to here includes a change in the center of gravity and a change (rotation) of the posture of each object in the virtual game space. In physics, based on at least some of the dynamic parameters such as the position, speed, amount of rotation, moment, friction coefficient, etc. of each object, dynamic phenomena such as gravity, object inertia, contact between objects, rebound, friction, etc. At least a portion is simulated and the dynamic parameters are repeatedly updated.

  Note that there may be an object that is not a control target for at least some control items. That is, for example, there may be an object that does not move in the virtual game space and is always stationary, or an object that other objects pass through.

  Further, the movement of the object may be subject to predetermined restrictions. For example, there may be an object that is only allowed to rotate around a predetermined axis in the virtual game space.

  The game data may include information for the control unit 11 to refer to such a control target for each object, the restriction condition, and the like. In addition to the physical calculation, the control unit 11 may perform various effects and effects of changing the color of the object or deleting the object according to the result of the physical calculation.

  Step S105: The control unit 11 displays a virtual game space including the predetermined object and the player definition object on the display unit 12. Further, a trajectory indicating input progress may be displayed during the input operation to the input unit 14 by the player. In addition, a message for the player, a game-related or unrelated icon, and the like may be displayed as appropriate.

  Step S106: The controller 11 determines whether or not the stage clear condition is satisfied. Stage clear conditions are determined according to the game stage. The stage clear condition is a condition related to the position, posture, etc. of any object. The control unit 11 performs determination based on various mechanical parameters of the object regarding the stage clear condition. When the control unit 11 determines that the stage clear condition is satisfied, the game stage ends. You may return to step S101 after completion | finish of a game stage. If it is not determined that the stage clear condition is satisfied, the process returns to step S103.

  The processes in steps S103 to S106 can be performed in parallel. Further, the processing timing may be synchronous with each other or may be asynchronous.

<Example of game processing>
Below, the specific example of the game process which concerns on this embodiment is shown. As an example, the content of the game provided by the game process is such that a player-defined object generated by a player is mechanically interfered with a predetermined object arranged in advance in the virtual game space, and the final result or halfway through This is to realize a predetermined physical and mechanical state in the object of interest. The virtual game space is typically a planar space in which a two-dimensional plane or a three-dimensional space is projected onto the two-dimensional plane.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of an image displayed on the display unit 12 as the game progresses. When the game is activated, a game stage selection screen is displayed as shown in FIG. An icon 21 representing each selectable game stage is displayed on the selection screen, and the player selects the game stage by tapping the icon corresponding to the desired game stage. Each icon may display the number of the game stage, may display the initial screen of each game stage, or may display partial images so as to form each piece constituting one image as a whole. Good. Also, these modes may be switchable.

  The predetermined object 22 is displayed on the display unit 12 as shown in FIG. 3B according to the selected game stage. In this example, the wall object 22-1 exists on the left and right, and the ground object 22-2 exists on the lower side. In addition, a dish object 22-3 and a ball object 22-4 placed on the object are displayed on the ground object 22-2. The display unit 12 displays a message corresponding to the stage clear condition.

  When the player touches the input unit 14 and moves the touch position as an input operation, the movement locus 23 is displayed on the display unit 12 as shown in FIG. When the player stops touching the input unit 14 or the movement track 23 comes into contact with another object on the display unit 12, it is determined that the input operation is finished, and the movement track 23 until then is used as the player definition object 24. Determine. In addition, with this as an opportunity, physical calculation for each object is started. When an input operation is performed such that the movement locus 23 intersects with itself, it is not determined that the input operation has ended, and the input operation is continuously accepted. FIG. 4D shows an example of the player definition object 24 that has been confirmed. A plurality of player definition objects may be generated by a plurality of input operations.

  Each object moves by physics and collides and interferes with each other. In the example shown in FIG. 4 (e), the player-defined object 24 generated in the air in the virtual game space falls by gravity, hits the dish object 22-3, tilts it, and further, the ball object 22- 4 has the result of flying up into the air and spilling out of the dish object 22-3.

  In this example, the stage clear condition is to bring the ball object out of the dish object. When the state shown in FIG. 4E is realized, the stage has been cleared, and as shown in FIG. 4F, this is displayed on the display unit 12 and the stage is completed.

  Note that an object related to stage clear, such as the ball object in the above example, may be displayed in a manner that can be distinguished from other objects, such as changing the color. Alternatively, other areas related to the stage clear condition such as a predetermined position in the virtual game space may be displayed in a manner that can be similarly distinguished. This makes it easier for the player to understand the stage clear conditions.

<Game stage example>
An example of a game stage will be described in addition to what has been described in the above example of game processing.
(1) In the example shown in FIG. 5A, a ball object 22-1 which is one of the predetermined objects 22 is placed on a stack of a plurality of other objects 22-2. When the ball object 22-1 is moved to a predetermined area, the stage is cleared. The ball object 22-1 which is the object of interest may be displayed with a unique color and distinguished from others. Hereinafter, in each drawing, the portion indicated by hatching is displayed in a predetermined color. For example, as shown in FIG. 5B, the player generates a player-defined object 24 having an inclination, guides the ball object 22-1 to the ground object while touching the other predetermined object 22, and touches it for a moment. You can clear the stage.

(2) In the example shown in FIG. 6A, the stage is cleared when a part of the player-defined object is moved to a predetermined area. The predetermined area is displayed with a unique color, and a player-defined object cannot be created in this area. For example, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), the player generates two player-defined objects 24-1 and 24-2, and functions as a seesaw leg and an arm. The stage can be cleared by touching (upper part of the display screen).

(3) In the example shown in FIG. 7A, when the humanoid object, which is the predetermined object 22, is moved to a predetermined posture and the posture is maintained for a predetermined period, the stage is cleared. For example, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the player generates a ball-shaped player-defined object 24, rotates it against the foot of the predetermined object 22, and maintains the standing state for 3 seconds. Can be cleared. Here, the standing state means that the posture of the humanoid object (for example, the direction of a line connecting a predetermined position of the head and the foot) is within a certain angle range with the vertical direction of the display screen as the center. . In this example, the predetermined object 22 may rotate too much to maintain the standing state. In that case, the player only has to generate another player-defined object that functions as a wall or the like and suppress the excessive rotation. In this example, when the standing state is established, the count display is performed until a predetermined period elapses as long as the state continues.

(4) In the example shown in FIG. 8, the balance object 22-1, which is the predetermined object 22, and the humanoid object 22-2 placed on the right dish are displayed. The fulcrum portion of the balance object is fixed, and the balance object can only rotate around the fulcrum. Further, a player definition object cannot be generated on the right side of the fulcrum of the virtual game space. In this example, the stage is cleared when the balance object 22-1 is in a balanced state for a predetermined period. Here, the balance means that the posture of the balance object (for example, the extending direction of both arms) is within a certain angle range with the horizontal direction of the display screen as the center. The player can clear the stage by creating the player-defined object 24 and placing it on the left plate of the balance object 22-1, thereby bringing the balance object 22-1 into a balanced state.

  Although an example of a game stage will be further described below, description of the individual stage clearing method will be omitted. In any case, similar to the above-described method, the stage can be cleared by generating one or more player-defined objects and generating a mechanical effect corresponding to the game stage.

(5) In the example shown in FIG. 9, the stage is cleared by dropping the hanger object 22-2 suspended from the point object 22-1, which is a predetermined object in the virtual game space.

(6) In the example shown in FIG. 10, the stick object 22-2 is placed in the container object 22-1 which is a predetermined object, that is, a part of the stick object 22-2 is within the region surrounded by the container object 22-1 Moves to clear the stage. Thus, the concept of an internal area of a predetermined object is introduced. For a predetermined object, its internal area is defined by, for example, a convex polygon that connects the vertices of the predetermined object.

(7) In the example shown in FIG. 11, the ball object 22-2 in the container object 22-1, which is a predetermined object, is taken out of the container object 22-1. The stage is cleared when all of the ball objects 22-2 move to an area other than the surrounding area. Thus, the external area of the predetermined object is defined as an area other than the above-described internal area, for example.

(8) In the example shown in FIG. 12, the stage is cleared by moving the predetermined object 22 and sequentially passing each part through the predetermined area. The predetermined area is indicated by a specific color, and the portion of the predetermined object 22 that has passed through the predetermined area changes to this color, so that it can be easily recognized.

(9) In the example shown in FIG. 13, the stage is cleared by bringing the player-defined object into contact with all of the plurality of predetermined objects 22.

(10) In the example shown in FIG. 14, when the predetermined object 22-1 is moved and fitted in the recess of the predetermined object 22-2, the portions aligned in the left-right direction are erased. By rotating the predetermined object 22-2 and fitting them so that all the columns are aligned, the stage is cleared.

(11) In the example shown in FIG. 15, a plurality of point-like predetermined objects 22-1 are arranged on a maze formed by being partitioned by the predetermined object 22-2. The dotted object 22-1 can be passed by the player-defined object, and the passed object 22-1 disappears. The stage is cleared by eliminating all the predetermined objects 22-1.

(12) In the example shown in FIG. 16, a plurality of block-shaped predetermined objects 22 are arranged in a grid pattern. The predetermined object 22 disappears when the player-defined object contacts once. The player-defined object rebounds when it touches the predetermined object. The stage is cleared by eliminating all the predetermined objects 22. The predetermined object 22 may disappear when the player-defined object touches a predetermined number of times two or more times, and an effect that the color changes with each contact may be performed.

(13) In the example shown in FIG. 17, a plurality of predetermined objects 22-2 except for the ball object 22-1 are fixed so as to rotate around the same rotation axis. By rotating the predetermined object 22-2, the ball object 22-1 is moved, and the stage is cleared by passing all of the plurality of point-like objects out of the predetermined object 22-2.

(14) In the example shown in FIG. 18, a kendama tender object 22-1 and a ball object 22-2 placed on one of the plates are arranged as predetermined objects. The stage is cleared by moving these and placing the ken object 22-1 on the plate on the opposite side of the ken object 22-1.

(15) In the example shown in FIG. 19, the kendama-ken object 22-1 and the ball object 22-2 are arranged separately as the predetermined objects. The stage is cleared by moving these so that the ball object 22-2 is stuck in the tip of the Ken object 22-1.

(16) In the example shown in FIG. 20, a container object 22-1 and a plurality of snow objects 22-2 are arranged as predetermined objects, and the snow object 22-2 moves from above to below. The stage is cleared by maintaining the number of movements of the snow object 22-2 into the container object 22-1 for a predetermined period.

  The above game stage is an example, and the game stage can be set in a wider variety. Parameters such as the mass and rebound coefficient of each object may be set appropriately for each game stage according to the characteristics of the game stage, and the parameters may be the same or different between objects in the same game stage. Also good. Further, the object may jump out of the drawing range of the display unit 12 by rebounding or the like. Moreover, you may return to the drawing range again by gravity or the like.

  The game according to the present embodiment is highly interesting in that the stage clear conditions presented for each game stage have diversity as described above. Summarizing the diversity of stage clear conditions, the following points can be mentioned.

  First, there are cases where an object of interest related to the stage clear is a predetermined object and a player-defined object.

  In addition, as states to be realized, there are a case where the position of the object of interest is in a predetermined area in the virtual game space and a case where the posture of the object of interest is in a predetermined range. Alternatively, there are cases where the position and orientation of the object of interest are in a relative positional relationship with other objects. Alternatively, as in the examples illustrated in FIGS. 15 and 17, such a position and posture may be a state in which a predetermined position is traced out of order or in a predetermined order.

  Moreover, there are a case where the state is determined to be realized even for a moment and a state where the state is maintained for a predetermined period.

  By combining these, various physical phenomena in the virtual game space that are established on a delicate balance as in the real world can be suitably conditioned. Further, since the player can be given completely different stage clear conditions by challenging a new game stage, the player can face the game with a fresh feeling and is highly interesting as a game.

  Also, a plurality of player definition objects can be generated at a desired timing from the start of the game stage to the end of the game stage. For this reason, the player has to perform advanced solution studies to determine how many player-defined objects are combined in what position, shape, and timing, and the desired state can be realized. Even in this respect, the game is highly interesting.

  In addition, since the degree of freedom of the player-defined object is very high as described above, the number of solutions is not limited to one. Therefore, there is a new enjoyment in replay such as searching for another solution, and this is also highly interesting as a game.

  Also, since the player definition object once generated is typically not deleted, the player definition object must be generated carefully so that it does not eventually become an obstacle to clearing the stage. For this reason, compared with the case where the player definition object once produced | generated can be erase | eliminated, a difficulty level improves and also in this respect, the interest property as a game is high.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a computer game using physics that is more interesting than before in many meanings.

  The present invention can be used for computer games for smartphones, portable game machines, PCs, and the like.
