FIG. 8 is a two-dimensional display of the battle field, which is a game space (see FIG. 3) displayed when the battle game of the present embodiment is executed, for explanation. In FIG. 8, in the user area UA, user cards are arranged in user sections U1 to U3, respectively. The enemy area EA is composed of a matrix of a plurality of enemy sections of 3 columns × 5 rows. In the following description, the first to third columns of the enemy area EA are referred to as first to third lanes as appropriate. The first to third lanes of the enemy area EA correspond to the user sections U1 to U3 of the user area UA, respectively.

The first placement unit 102 reads information on the card whose use flag is “1” (used) from the card database, and places the cards in the user area UA in order. For example, if there are ten cards (use cards) whose use flag is “1” (use), the ten use cards are randomly ordered. The first placement unit 102 places the first to third cards in the user sections U1 to U3 of the user area UA at the start of the battle. Thereafter, when the card that has been placed in any of the user sections U1 to U3 according to the user's operation disappears from the user section as a result of the battle, Place the fourth card. Similarly, every time a card disappears from the user partition, the first placement unit 102 places the card in the user partition according to the card order. In addition, even if the 10th card is arranged, if the winning or losing of the battle is not decided, the card may be arranged again in the user section by returning to the first card.
A game image arranged in each user section of the user area by the first arrangement unit 102 is generated by the image generation unit 111 and displayed by the display unit 112.
The function of the first arrangement unit 102 is realized by the CPU 11 and the RAM 13.

The second arrangement unit 103 (second arrangement means) arranges the enemy cards constituting the enemy card group in any enemy section having an enemy section associated with each user section in the user area. To do.
In the game of the present embodiment, the enemy card does not have to be arranged in any enemy section of the enemy area EA at the start of the battle. In that case, when the battle starts, the second placement unit 103 places an enemy card in the enemy compartment in any column of the fifth row of the enemy area EA shown in FIG. 8 (that is, the enemy card appears). ). Note that the initial arrangement in the enemy area EA at the start of the battle of enemy cards is not particularly limited. Further, in the example of this embodiment, the position where the enemy card appears is the enemy section located at the uppermost position of the enemy area EA in the game image (the enemy section E in any column of the fifth row in the example of FIG. 8). (Any one of (1, 5), E (2, 5), and E (3, 5)), but is not limited thereto, and may be any enemy section in the enemy area EA.
For convenience of the following explanation, as shown in FIG. 8, an enemy section in the enemy area EA is defined by coordinates E (x, y). Here, the enemy cards used in the battle and the number of them, and the order of appearance and the positions thereof (enemy section E (1, 5), enemy section E (2, 5), enemy section E (3, 5) in FIG. 8). Any of)) is determined at the start of the match, for example, at random.
The game image arranged in the enemy section of the enemy area by the second arrangement unit 103 is generated by the image generation unit 111 and displayed by the display unit 112.
The function of the second arrangement unit 103 is realized by the CPU 11 and the RAM 13.

The operation input unit 104 (input unit) detects the user's designation operation on the touch panel 20a of the display unit 20, and recognizes the user's operation target and the operation input for the operation target based on the detection result. The operation target is, for example, any command in the command menu of the game, an instruction button displayed to start the battle, or a user arranged in any user section of the user area where the battle is being executed Card. The operation input is, for example, an input such as a tap operation (single tap or double tap) for an operation target on the display screen, a slide operation (including a drag operation, a flick operation, a scroll operation, or the like).
When the user's selection operation for the card is recognized by the user's operation for designating the user card, the operation input unit 104 displays an image for displaying the card in such a manner that the card can be recognized. The image generation unit 111 may generate the image.
The function of the operation input unit 104 is realized by the touch panel 20a, the touch panel controller 16, and the CPU 11.

The changing unit 105 (changing unit) arranges in the user area based on a horizontal operation on the display screen (in the example shown in FIG. 4, an operation in the direction in which the user sections U1 to U3 are arranged). The section of the user card (that is, the section where the user card is arranged) is changed. The user card section change operation by the horizontal operation is an example of the first operation.
When the operation input unit 104 detects a horizontal slide operation with respect to a user card arranged in any user section of the user area during a match, the change unit 105 operates according to the operation amount. The user section where the user card is placed is changed. For example, in FIG. 8, when the user has designated the card arranged in the user section U1 as an operation target with the finger and moved (slid) to the place where the user section U2 is displayed, the changing unit 105 Changes the section in which the cards placed in the user section U1 and the user section U2 are placed.
The function of the changing unit 105 is realized by the touch panel 20a, the touch panel controller 16, and the CPU 11.

The identification unit 106 (identification means) is a user in the user area based on a vertical operation (in the example illustrated in FIG. 5, an operation in a direction from the first row to the fifth row of the enemy compartment). The card is identified as a card that attacks an enemy card (hereinafter referred to as an “attack card”). The operation of specifying the attack card by the vertical operation on the display screen is an example of the second operation.
When the operation input unit 104 detects a vertical flick operation on a user card arranged in any user section of the user area during a battle, the specifying unit 106 sets the user card to be operated as an attack card. Identify. The battle game of the present embodiment is a turn-based battle, and when the attack card is specified by the specifying unit 106, processing by the effect generating unit 110 in one attack turn by the user is executed.
The flick operation is an example of a slide operation, and is not limited to the flick operation. As the vertical operation, instead of the flick operation, another slide operation such as a drag operation or a scroll operation may be used.
The function of the specifying unit 106 is realized by the touch panel 20a, the touch panel controller 16, and the CPU 11.

The first movement processing unit 107 (first moving unit) moves the attack card specified by the specifying unit 106 toward the enemy card to be attacked according to a vertical operation on the display screen. In the present embodiment, an enemy card to be attacked is an example of an effect target object.
In FIG. 8, for example, when the user card arranged in the user section U3 is identified as an attack card by the identifying unit 106, the first movement processing unit 107 identifies the user card in the corresponding lane in the enemy area EA. Are moved (released) toward the enemy card (the enemy card arranged in the enemy section E (3, 4) in the example of FIG. 8).
The game image with the card moved to the first movement processing unit 107 is generated by the image generation unit 111.
The function of the first movement processing unit 107 is realized by the CPU 11 and the RAM 13. In this case, the RAM 13 stores information on each card and the position of each card, and the CPU 11 executes processing based on data in the RAM 13.

For example, in the case of a turn-based battle in which the user and the enemy alternately attack each time the effect generation unit 110 generates a predetermined effect on the enemy card, the second movement processing unit 108 (second movement means) In one attack turn of the user, an enemy card that is not an attack target in the enemy cards of the enemy card group is moved toward the enemy compartment on the first line in the enemy area. The enemy zone in the first row is any one of the enemy zone E (1, 1), the enemy zone E (2, 1), and the enemy zone E (3, 1)) in the enemy area EA shown in FIG. It is an example of a section.
In the battle game of the present embodiment, every time the second movement processing unit 108 specifies an attack card by the specifying unit 106 and determines an enemy card that is an effect generation target, The enemy card is moved one section toward the user area UA. For example, in FIG. 8, when the lane from which the user card is released is the second lane, the enemy card placed in the enemy section E (3, 4) is not an attack target, and therefore the second movement processing unit 108. Moves this enemy card to the enemy zone E (3, 3).
The second movement processing unit 108 is realized by the CPU 11 and the RAM 13. In this case, the RAM 13 stores information on each card and a position in the battle field of each card, and the CPU 11 executes processing based on data in the RAM 13.

The associating unit 109 (associating means) includes a user card specified by the specifying unit 106, an enemy card arranged in an enemy area corresponding to a user area where the specified user card is arranged, The function of associating is provided. In the example of this embodiment, the user card specified by the specifying unit 106 and the enemy card are associated with the attacking card and the attacked card, respectively.
The associating unit 109 is realized by the CPU 11 and the RAM 13. In this case, the CPU 11 specifies an enemy card arranged in the enemy zone corresponding to the user zone where the user card to be processed is arranged, and information on the user card to be processed and information on the specified enemy card Are stored in the RAM 13 in association with each other.

The effect generating unit 110 (effect generating means) is determined when the user card specified by the specifying unit 106 and moved by the first movement processing unit 107 reaches an enemy card associated with the user card. A predetermined effect is generated on the associated enemy card.
Although the predetermined effect generated with respect to an enemy card can be set suitably, in the example of this embodiment, it is the following effect. That is, whether the effect generating unit 110 changes the power of the enemy card when the user card moved by the first movement processing unit 107 collides with the enemy card (that is, when it reaches the enemy card). Or hide (disappear) enemy cards. The effect generating unit 110 determines the content of the effect on the enemy card based on a comparison result between the power of the user card that has been released and collided with the enemy card and the power of the enemy card that has collided. The contents of the effect based on the comparison result will be specifically described later in (1-3).
If no enemy card is placed in the released lane, no effect on the enemy card occurs.

The effect generating unit 110 may generate an effect that is disadvantageous to the user card group when the enemy card is located in a predetermined enemy zone and the enemy card is not an attack target. As described above, in the example of the battle game according to the present embodiment, the “predetermined enemy zone” is the enemy zone of the first row in the enemy area EA (the enemy zone E (1, 1) in FIG. 8, the enemy zone). E (2, 1) or enemy zone E (3, 1)).
The effect generating unit 110 reduces the user's HP by the value of the power of the enemy card in a state where the enemy card exists in any enemy section of the first row. In other words, each turn of the battle game according to the present embodiment is configured such that the user is attacked (HP is reduced) under a predetermined condition. Note that the decrease in the user's HP is only an example of “a disadvantageous effect” generated by the effect generating unit 110. The “disadvantageous effect” may be a decrease in the power of the user's attack card or an increase in the power of the enemy card.
The function of the effect generating unit 110 is realized by the CPU 11 and the RAM 13.

The image generation unit 111 (image generation unit) includes a first arrangement unit 102, a second arrangement unit 103, a change unit 105, a first movement processing unit 107, a second movement processing unit 108, an association unit 109, and an effect generation unit 110. Along with each process, a game image including a user area, an enemy area, and cards arranged in a section of each area is generated in units of frames. In addition, the image generation unit 111 generates a game image to be drawn on a frame-by-frame basis so as to reflect the movement of cards, the disappearance of cards, the change in the remaining number of enemy cards, the change in the user's HP, and the like.
The function of the image generation unit 111 is realized by the CPU 11, the image processing unit 14, and the VRAM 17.

The display unit 112 (display unit) displays the game image generated by the image generation unit 111 on the display screen. The display unit 112 is an example of a first area display unit and a second area display unit.
The function of the display unit 112 is realized by the image processing unit 14, the VRAM 17, and the display unit 20. The functions of the first area display unit and the second area display unit of the program of the present invention control the image processing unit 14 so that the CPU 11 executes the program command and displays the user area and the enemy area at a predetermined timing. This is realized.

(1-3) Specific Example of Competing Game Regarding the processing contents of the first movement processing unit 107, the second movement processing unit 108, the associating unit 109, and the effect generating unit 110 in the competitive game of this embodiment, FIGS. Will be described in detail. FIGS. 9 to 11 are diagrams specifically showing the movement of the card during the battle and the effect generated on the enemy card over time in one turn of the battle game.

(A) When both the user card and the enemy card disappear (FIG. 9)
In FIG. 9, step S1 shows a case where the user card Cu2 (power: 300) arranged in the user section U2 of the user area UA is specified as an attack card. The first movement processing unit 107 moves (releases) the user card Cu2 specified as the attack card upward in the second lane of the enemy area EA.
In the second lane of the enemy area, the enemy card Ce12 (power: 250) is arranged in the enemy section E (2, 3), and the user card Cu2 and the enemy card Ce12 are associated with each other. As shown in step S2, the attack card Cu2 moves toward the enemy card Ce12 in the enemy section E (2, 3), and collides with the enemy card Ce12 in step S3. As a result of comparing the power (300) of the attack card Cu2 and the power (250) of the collided enemy card Ce12, the effect generating unit 110 shows that the power of the attack card Cu2 is larger, as shown in step S4. The enemy card Ce12 is erased from the battle field on the assumption that the enemy card Ce12 has been destroyed, and the attacking card Cu2 that has collided is also eliminated from the battle field.
In FIG. 9, a number indicating the remaining number of appearing enemy cards is displayed above the enemy area EA. In step S4, since one enemy card has disappeared, the value of the remaining number of enemy cards has decreased from 13 to 12.

  In step S4, the second movement processing unit 108 moves all enemy cards arranged in each lane by one section to the user area UA side.

(B) When only the user card disappears (FIG. 10)
In FIG. 10, step S5 shows a case where the user card Cu2 (power: 200) arranged in the user section U2 of the user area UA is specified as an attack card. The first movement processing unit 107 moves (releases) the user card Cu2 specified as the attack card upward in the second lane of the enemy area EA.
In the second lane of the enemy area, the enemy card Ce12 (power: 250) is arranged in the enemy section E (2, 3), and the user card Cu2 and the enemy card Ce12 are associated with each other. As shown in step S6, the attack card Cu2 moves toward the enemy card Ce12 in the enemy section E (2, 3), and collides with the enemy card Ce12 in step S7. As a result of comparing the power (200) of the attack card Cu2 with the power (250) of the collided enemy card Ce12, the effect generating unit 110 shows that the power of the enemy card Ce12 is larger, as shown in step S8. Then, the attacking card Cu2 that has collided is eliminated from the battle field. Further, the effect generating unit 110 sets the power of the enemy card Ce12 after the collision to a value (50) obtained by reducing the power (200) of the attacking card Cu2 that has collided with the power (250) of the enemy card Ce12 before the collision. .
In FIG. 10, since the enemy card has not disappeared, there is no change in the number indicating the remaining number of enemy cards above the enemy area EA.

  In step S8, the second movement processing unit 108 moves all enemy cards arranged in each lane by one section to the user area UA side.

(C) When HP of a user falls (FIG. 11)
In FIG. 11, step S9 shows a case where the user card Cu3 arranged in the user section U3 of the user area UA is specified as an attack card. The first movement processing unit 107 moves (releases) the user card Cu3 specified as the attack card upward in the third lane of the enemy area EA.
In the third lane of the enemy area, the enemy card Ce16 is arranged in the enemy section E (3, 2), and the user card Cu3 and the enemy card Ce16 are associated with each other. As shown in step S10, the attack card Cu3 moves toward the enemy card Ce16 in the enemy section E (3, 2), and collides with the enemy card Ce16 in step S11. The effect generation unit 110 compares the power of the attack card Cu3 with the power of the enemy card Ce16 that has collided. As a result, in this example, as shown in step S12, the enemy card is assumed to have destroyed the enemy card Ce16. Ce16 disappears from the battle field, and the attack field Cu3 that has collided disappears from the battle field. Thereby, in step S12, since one enemy card has disappeared, the value of the remaining number of enemy cards has decreased from 13 to 12.
In the example shown in FIG. 11, in step S9, the enemy card Ce15 (power: 200) is arranged in the enemy section E (1, 1) in the first lane of the enemy area. Therefore, the effect generating unit 110 performs a process of reducing the user's HP (1800) by the value of the power (200) of the enemy card Ce15. Thereby, in step S12, the user's HP decreases from 1800 to 1600.

In step S12, the second movement processing unit 108 moves all the enemy cards arranged in each lane to the user area UA side by one section. However, since the enemy card Ce15 in the enemy section E (1,1) arranged in the first row cannot be moved to the user area UA, it remains arranged in the enemy section E (1,1).
If the enemy card Ce15 remains in the enemy zone E (1, 1) in the next and subsequent enemy attack turns, the user's HP will continue to decrease. Therefore, in this battle game, the user is motivated to preferentially attack the enemy cards in the enemy compartment of the first row or the enemy cards in the row close to the first row so that their HP does not decrease. It is done.

(1-4) Battle Game Flow Next, the battle game of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a user card moving process. FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining the user card moving process over time. In the flowchart of FIG. 12, the symbols ST1 to ST3 are assigned to the positions corresponding to the states ST1 to ST3 shown in FIG.
FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a user attack turn process. FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing enemy card processing during attack turn processing.

(1-4-1) User Card Movement Processing When the operation input unit 104 detects a designation operation of a card arranged in any user section of the user area (step S100: YES), the image generation unit 111 Generates image data to indicate that the operation target card has been selected, and the display unit 112 displays a game image on the display screen based on the image data (step S110). For example, as shown in state ST1 in FIG. 13, when a designation operation is detected for the user card Cu1 arranged in the user section U1, the user card Cu1 is slightly lifted on the user section U1. It is preferable that the display allows the user to recognize that the card has been selected.
The card designation operation is detected by determining whether or not the touch position of a finger or the like on the touch panel is included in the area of the touch panel on which the card is displayed.

Next, when the changing unit 105 determines that the moving amount of the card by the sliding operation has exceeded a predetermined threshold (TH) in a state where the card specifying operation is continued (step S120: YES), the moving destination by the sliding operation is determined. If another user card exists (step S130: YES), a card replacement process is performed (step S140). In the example shown in FIG. 13, as shown in state ST2, when the movement amount ΔX of the user card Cu1 slid by the user's finger to the adjacent user section U2 exceeds a predetermined threshold TH, the user section U2 The placed card Cu2 moves to the user section U1, and the slid user card Cu1 is placed in the user section U2. That is, as shown in the state ST3, cards are exchanged between user sections. When the user card is not placed in the user section to which the slid card is moved (step S130: NO), the changing unit 105 moves the slid card to the destination user section (step S150). ).
The threshold value TH is, for example, a value that is half the width of the user section displayed on the game image, but is not limited to this value.

  In step S120, if the finger is removed from the position of the touch panel on which the card is displayed while the amount of movement of the card is equal to or less than the threshold value TH (step S120: NO), the process returns to the user section 100. Note that if the operation input unit 104 does not detect a designation operation for a card placed in any user section of the user area (step S100: NO), the user card moving process is terminated.

(1-4-2) Processing of User Attack Turn In FIG. 14, in the user attack turn, first, when the identifying unit 106 recognizes a user operation that identifies any user card in the user area as an attack card. (Step S200: YES), the first movement processing unit 107 starts an attack card movement process (a process for releasing the card) (Step S210). If the user operation is not recognized in step S200 (step S200: NO), the attack turn process is terminated.
Next, the effect generating unit 110 determines whether there is an enemy card in the lane of the enemy area from which the attack card is released (step S220). When there is no enemy card in the lane from which the attack card was released (step S220: NO), the first movement processing unit 107 moves the attack card along the enemy area lane, Disappear the attack card and end the user's attack turn process.

When it is determined that there is an enemy card in the lane from which the attack card is released (step S220: YES), the associating unit 109 closes the attack card and the enemy card closest to the user area in the lane from which the attack card is released. Are associated with each other (step S225). Then, the effect generating unit 110 causes the attack card to collide with the enemy card associated with the attack card, and sets the attack card power (Pu) and the enemy card power (Pe) associated with the attack card. ) Are compared (step S230). Here, when the effect generating unit 110 determines that the power of the attack card is greater (step S240: YES), the effect generating unit 110 performs a process of erasing the attack card and the enemy card (step S250), and the remaining number of enemy cards. Is counted down (step S260).
On the other hand, when the effect generating unit 110 determines that the power of the enemy card is greater (step S240: NO), the effect generating unit 110 performs a process of erasing the attack card (step S270) and uses the power of the enemy card as the power of the attack card. Is reduced to Pe-Pu (step S280).

  If it is determined in step S230 that there is no enemy card other than the enemy card to be processed (step S290: NO), the attack turn process is terminated. If there is an enemy card other than the enemy card to be processed in step S230 (step S290: YES), the enemy card process (step S300) is executed, and then the attack turn process is terminated.

The enemy card process includes a process for moving an enemy card other than the enemy card to be processed in step S220, and a process for updating the user's HP based on the enemy card in the first line of the enemy area other than the lane from which the card is released. included.
In FIG. 15, first, the second movement processing unit 108 determines the processing order for each enemy section in the enemy area (step S310). This processing order is determined from an enemy section close to the user area (that is, each enemy section is ordered in order from the first row of the enemy area).
When the processing order of each enemy section is determined, the processes of steps S330 to S360 are performed in order for each enemy section. First, the second movement processing unit 108 determines whether or not the enemy zone to be processed is a zone where an enemy card is placed (step S330). If the enemy zone to be processed is an enemy zone in which no enemy card is placed (step S330: NO), the process proceeds to the process for the next enemy zone (step S370: NO). When the process is completed for all enemy sections (step S370: YES), the enemy card process is terminated.

  If the enemy zone to be processed is a zone where an enemy card is placed (step S330: YES), processing is performed depending on whether the enemy zone to be processed is the enemy zone closest to the user area. Is different. That is, when the enemy zone to be processed is the enemy zone closest to the user area (that is, one of the enemy zones in the first row of the enemy area) (step S340: YES), the effect generating unit 110 The process of subtracting the power of the arranged enemy card from the HP is performed (step S350). On the other hand, when the enemy zone to be processed is not the enemy zone closest to the user area (step S340: NO), the second movement processing unit 108 is the target to be processed unless there is another enemy card on the user area side. The enemy card arranged in the enemy section is moved to the user area side by one section (step S360). Note that if there is another enemy card in front of the enemy card placed in the enemy zone to be processed (user area side), it is not moved. For example, when enemy cards are arranged in the enemy zone E (1, 1) and the enemy zone E (1, 2) and the enemy zone E (1, 2) is a processing target, the enemy zone E (1) , 2) The enemy card cannot be moved and remains in the current zone.

As described above, the battle game executed by the game device of the present embodiment is a game in which a battle between the user card group and the enemy card group is executed. Here, each enemy section in the enemy area is associated with one of the user sections in the user area. The user can change the section in which the user card in the user area is arranged by the first operation, and the identified user by specifying any user card in the user area as the attack card by the second operation. The card is associated with the enemy card arranged in the enemy section of the enemy area corresponding to the section arranged on the card.
In this battle game, after the user has aimed at the enemy card to be associated, the first operation for changing the section in which the user card is arranged as necessary, and any user card as an attack card Since the user card as the attack card and the enemy card as the attack target can be associated with each other by a two-step intuitive operation consisting of the second operation specified as, the operability is impaired even if the operation is complicated It is possible to realize a battle game without any problems.

(1-5) Effects by Cards Although the battle game of the present embodiment has been described in detail, in this battle game, by setting the effects on the battle based on card skills, card attributes, etc., the game's interest is enhanced. It can be further increased.

(1-5-1) Card Skill In the battle game described above, the card may have a skill. The skill of a card is an effect that is advantageous or unfavorable at the time of a battle for the card or a card group to which the card belongs, as compared to a case where there is no skill. The effect that is advantageous at the time of the battle is, for example, an effect that gives more damage to the enemy, or an effect that damage caused by an attack from the enemy becomes smaller. An effect that is disadvantageous at the time of a battle is, for example, an effect that damage to an enemy is reduced or an effect that damage caused by an attack from an enemy is increased.
(A) Skill of Attack Card FIG. 16 is an example of a card database in which skills are associated with card IDs. The contents of the card skill may be set as appropriate and are not limited. In FIG. 16, as examples of the card skill, “penetration” (hereinafter referred to as “penetration skill”) and “split” ( (Hereinafter referred to as “split skills”). Hereinafter, the penetration skill and the division skill will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 and 18, respectively.

(A-1) Penetration skill (Figure 17)
In FIG. 17, in step S31, the user card Cu6 (power: 400) arranged in the user section U2 of the user area UA has a penetration (hereinafter referred to as “penetration skill”) as a skill, and the user card. The case where Cu6 is specified as an attack card by the user is shown. The first movement processing unit 107 moves (releases) the attack card Cu6 upward in the second lane of the enemy area EA. In the second lane of the enemy area, the enemy card Ce5 (power: 200) is arranged in the enemy zone E (2, 3), and the enemy card Ce6 (power: 150) is arranged in the enemy zone E (2, 4). ing.

If the attack card has penetration skills, damage is done to one or more enemy cards placed in the same lane by the power of the attack card. At this time, the attack card moves while destroying one or more enemy cards.
In the example shown in FIG. 17, as shown in step S <b> 32, the attack card Cu <b> 6 moves toward the enemy card Ce <b> 5 in the enemy section E (2, 3) and collides. As a result of comparing the power (400) of the attack card Cu6 with the power (200) of the enemy card Ce5 that has collided, the effect generating unit 110 shows that the power of the attack card Cu6 is larger, as shown in step S33. , Enemy card Ce5 disappears. Further, the effect generation unit 110 subtracts the power (200) of the attacking card Cu6 by the power (200) of the enemy card Ce5 that has been defeated to “200”, and the first movement processing unit 107 moves the attack card Cu6. Let it continue.
Next, as shown in step S33, the attack card Cu6 moves and collides with the enemy card Ce6 in the enemy section E (2, 4). As a result of comparing the power (200) of the attack card Cu6 that collided with the enemy card Ce6 and the power (150) of the collided enemy card Ce6, the effect generating unit 110 has a larger power of the attack card Cu6. As shown in step S34, the enemy card Ce6 is lost. Further, the effect generation unit 110 subtracts the power (200) of the attacking card Cu6 by the power (150) of the enemy card Ce6 that has been defeated to “50”, and the first movement processing unit 107 moves the attack card Cu6. Let it continue.
In addition, the power of the attack card having the penetration skill (the user card Cu6 in the example of FIG. 17) is reduced every time the lane is released and collides with the enemy card, as shown in FIG. In addition, the card power display need not be changed.

(A-2) Splitting skill (Figure 18)
In FIG. 18, in step S41, the user card Cu7 (power: 300) arranged in the user section U2 of the user area UA has a division (hereinafter referred to as “split skill”) as a skill, and the user card Cu7. Is shown as an attack card by the user. The first movement processing unit 107 moves (releases) the attack card Cu7 upward in the second lane of the enemy area EA.

When the attack card has a splitting skill, the attack card is split at the time of release, and the plurality of split cards are divided into a released lane and a lane adjacent to the lane.
In the example shown in FIG. 18, as shown in step S <b> 42, the attack card Cu <b> 7 released from the user section U <b> 2 is split into three cards Cu <b> 71 to 73, and the released second lane and second lane are released. It moves separately to the adjacent first lane and third lane. That is, the attack card Cu7 is divided into an attack card Cu71 that moves in the first lane, an attack card Cu72 that moves in the second lane, and an attack card Cu73 that moves in the third lane. In this example, the power of each of the three attack cards Cu71 to 73 is the same as that of the user card Cu7, but may be a different value. For example, the power of each attack card after splitting may be a value obtained by dividing the attack card before splitting into three equal parts.

The effects produced on the enemy cards on each lane based on the cards of the plurality of cards Cu71 to 73 are the same as the effects shown in FIGS.
In the example shown in FIG. 18, the effect generating unit 110 compares the power (300) of the attack card Cu71 that collided with the enemy card after the division and the power (400) of the collided enemy card Ce7. Therefore, as shown in steps S43 and S44, the colliding attack card Cu71 is eliminated from the battle field. The effect generating unit 110 further sets the power of the enemy card Ce7 after the collision to a value (100) obtained by reducing the power (300) of the attacking card Cu71 that collided with the power (400) of the enemy card Ce7 before the collision. .
As a result of comparing the power (300) of the attack card Cu72 that collided with the enemy card after the division and the power (250) of the collided enemy card Ce8, the effect generating unit 110 shows that the power of the attack card Cu72 is larger. As shown in steps S43 and S44, it is assumed that the enemy card Ce8 has been destroyed, and the enemy card Ce8 is lost from the battle field, and the colliding attack card Cu72 is also lost from the battle field.
As a result of comparing the power (300) of the attack card Cu73 colliding with the enemy card after the division and the power (100) of the collided enemy card Ce9, the effect generating unit 110 shows that the power of the attack card Cu73 is larger. As shown in steps S43 and S44, the enemy card Ce9 is erased from the battle field as if the enemy card Ce9 was destroyed, and the colliding attack card Cu73 is also lost from the battle field. In FIG. 18, since two enemy cards disappeared from step S43 to step S44, the value of the remaining number of enemy cards is reduced from 13 to 11.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 18, the case has been described in which the user card arranged in the user section U2 is specified as an attack card and has a division skill. On the other hand, when the user card arranged in the user section U1 or U3 is specified as an attack card and has a splitting skill, the attack card may be split into two pieces and moved. For example, when a user card arranged in the user section U1 is specified as an attack card, the user card is divided into two cards moving in the first lane and the second lane, and is arranged in the user section U3. May be divided into two cards moving in the third lane and the second lane.

(A-3) Strengthening penetration skill Strengthening penetration (hereinafter referred to as “strengthening penetration skill”) may be provided as an attack card skill. The first movement processing unit 107 moves the attack card having the enhanced penetration skill from the beginning to the end on the lane of the enemy area. The effect generating unit 110 erases all the enemy cards on the lanes of the enemy area without reducing the power for the attack cards having the enhanced penetration skill.
(A-4) Time Stop Skill A time stop (hereinafter referred to as “time stop skill”) may be provided as an attack card skill. The second movement processing unit 108 has an effect of prohibiting movement by an enemy card for a certain time (or several turns) when an attack card having a time stop skill collides with an enemy card. Time stop skill is effective in delaying the situation where the enemy card of very high power that cannot be defeated by one attack reaches the enemy zone in the first row and the user's HP is greatly reduced. It is.

(B) Enemy card skills Skills may be set for enemy cards. For example, the following skills are listed as enemy card skills.
(B-1) High-speed skill As a skill of the enemy card, high-speed (hereinafter referred to as “high-speed skill”) may be provided.In the above-described embodiment, the second movement processing unit 108 performs one attack turn of the user. Although the description has been given of the case where the amount of the enemy zone to move the enemy card is one zone, the second movement processing unit 108 may move the enemy card having the high-speed skill to a predetermined number of enemy zones of two or more zones. As a result, an enemy card with high-speed skills can reach the enemy compartment on the first line earlier than an enemy card without high-speed skills, so that the user's HP can be reduced more quickly. It becomes possible.

(B-2) Blunt foot skill As a skill of the enemy card, blunt foot (hereinafter referred to as “blunt foot skill”) may be provided. Contrary to the card having the high-speed skill, the second movement processing unit 108 may move the enemy card having the blunt skill by one section in the attack turn of the user two or more times.
(B-3) Splitting skill A splitting skill may be provided as an enemy card skill. The first placement unit 102 causes each of the three cards having the same power to appear (place) in the fifth line of the enemy area for the cards having the division skill.

(1-5-2) Card Attributes Cards may be associated with attributes. The “attribute” of the card is a property or characteristic of the card and affects the battle.
Then, the effect generating unit 110 may vary the effect generated on the enemy card depending on the relationship between the attribute of the attack card and the attribute of the enemy card to be attacked. For example, for example, attributes α, β, γ, and δ are set as card attributes, and the strength relationship between the attributes is α> β, γ> α, β> γ, and δ It is defined as having no strong or weak relationship with the attribute. Then, the effect generating unit 110 compares the attribute of the attack card with the attribute of the enemy card to be attacked. If the attack card is stronger than the enemy card, the attack card power is multiplied by k (k is k> 1) to compare the powers of the two. On the other hand, if the attack card has a weaker attribute than the enemy card, the power of the attack card is multiplied by m (m is a predetermined value satisfying 0 <m <1), and the powers of both are compared. When the attribute of either the attack card or the enemy card to be attacked is δ, the power of each card is compared as it is. The effect generated in the enemy card based on the power comparison result may be the same as the effect described in (1-3).
In addition, it is preferable to display a card | curd on a display screen with the display mode corresponding to an attribute so that a user may understand the attribute of a card | curd. For example, a color, pattern, symbol or the like corresponding to the attribute may be displayed on the card. By setting the attribute of the card, the user can select the user card specified as the attack card while taking into consideration compatibility with the enemy card, so that the game performance can be improved.

(1-5-3) Leader Card One leader card may be set in advance among the user cards used for the battle, and the leader card may be configured to activate skills under predetermined conditions. For example, every time you defeat an enemy card or reduce the power of an enemy card, you accumulate points according to the degree of attack, and the leader card activates a predetermined skill when the point reaches a predetermined value You may comprise so that it can do. Such a skill may be, for example, an effect of reducing a certain amount of power for all enemy cards in the enemy area.

(2) Second Embodiment Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the second embodiment, a game system for executing the battle game described in the first embodiment as a battle game between asynchronous (non-synchronized) users will be described.

(2-1) Configuration of Game System FIG. 19 shows a system configuration example of the game system of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 19, this game system includes game devices 1a, 1b, 1c,... That can be connected to a communication network NW (network) such as the Internet, a game server 20 connected to the communication network NW, The database server 30 is configured. Each of the game devices 1a, 1b, 1c,... May be the same device as the game device 1 described in the first embodiment. In the following description, when referring to the game devices 1a, 1b, 1c,.
In this game system, the game server 20 is configured to be communicable with each game apparatus 1, and transmits / receives data necessary for executing a battle game between users to / from each game apparatus 1. The game server 20 may be configured by a general-purpose network server.
The database server 30 records various information for executing a battle game between users, and is connected to the game server 20 in a wired or wireless manner for reading and writing the information. For example, the database server 30 records defense card data (described later) of each user. Note that the game server 20 and the database server 30 may be connected via a communication network NW.

(2-2) Creation of Defense Card Data FIG. 20 shows how the display screen displayed on the game device 1 changes when the user creates his / her defense card data in the game device 1 of the present embodiment. It is a figure which shows an example. When receiving the instruction to create the defensive card data, the game apparatus 1, as shown in step S <b> 51, has a card that is a list of the enemy area EA when the user becomes an opponent of another user and the cards held by the user. A list CL is displayed. The display unit 112 of the game apparatus 1 reads the data of the card database shown in FIG. 7, for example, and displays the card list CL.
In step S52, when any card is selected from the card list CL as the first card to appear when the user becomes an opponent of another user, the selected card (here, card Cu10) is selected. Is arranged in the fifth line of the enemy area EA. By performing an instruction operation (for example, a tap operation) on the card arranged in step S52, as shown in step S53, the card moves upward in the lane of the enemy area EA, and the card is moved by another user. When it becomes a user's opponent, it is decided as the card which appears first. As a result, “1” is displayed in the “rank” column corresponding to the card selected in the card list CL.
Similarly, by repeating steps S51 to S53 for the second and subsequent cards, the order of the cards to appear in the battle is determined when the user becomes an opponent of another user.

FIG. 21 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the defense card data created by the user operation shown in FIG. The defense card data is an example of object appearance information. In the defense card data, the value in the “order of appearance” column corresponds to the value in the “rank” column of each card in the card list CL of FIG.
The game information storage unit 101 of the game apparatus 1 of the present embodiment creates defense card data based on the user's card database and a series of user operation inputs illustrated in FIG.
Although not shown, the defense card data may include data on the “appearance position” column of each card along with the order of appearance of each card. For example, in step S22 of FIG. 20, the lane in which the card selected by the user appears in the fifth line of the enemy area EA may be changed by a slide operation on the card. In that case, the game information storage unit 101 uses the column number (any one of 1 to 3) corresponding to the lane arranged at the time of performing the tap operation (instruction operation on the card) for the card, in the defensive card data. Record in the column for the appearance position.

(2-3) Execution Process Flow for Inter-User Battle Next, a flow for executing an asynchronous battle game between users in the game system of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the sequence chart of FIG. In the sequence chart of FIG. 22, a battle between users A and B is assumed. The game apparatus 1 a is the game apparatus for user A, and the game apparatus 1 b is the game apparatus for user B.
In FIG. 22, first, the user B operates the game apparatus 1b as illustrated in FIG. 20, so that the game information storage unit 101 of the game apparatus 1b creates defense card data for the user B (step S400). The game device 1b transmits the created defense card data to the game server 20 via the wireless communication unit 25 (step S410). When the game server 20 receives the defense card data from the game apparatus 1b, the game server 20 associates the received defense card data with the user B and writes it in the database server 30 (step S420).

Thereafter, based on the operation of the user A on the game device 1a, the game device 1a requests the game server 20 for a battle between users via the wireless communication unit 25 (step S430). The game server 20 that has received the request creates, for example, a candidate list of a predetermined number of opponents as an opponent of the user A from among a plurality of users registered in the database server 30 (step S440), and step S430. The candidate list is transmitted to the game apparatus 1a as a response to (Step S450). The game apparatus 1a displays the opponent candidate list received from the game server 20 in a format in which the opponent can be selected. When the game device 1a determines an opponent from the opponent candidate list based on the user's operation (step S460), the game device 1a transmits the determination result of the opponent to the game server 20 (step S470). Here, it is assumed that the opponent determined in step S460 is the user B.
The game server 20 reads out the defense card data of the opponent (user B) determined by the user A from the database server 30 (step S480), and transmits it to the game apparatus 1a (step S490). When the game device 1a receives the defense card data of the user B, the game device 1a executes a battle with the user B as an opponent (step S500).

  The execution content of the battle in step S500 is the same as in the first embodiment. In this battle, the second placement unit 103 of the game device 1a places an enemy card based on the user B's defense card data. That is, the second arrangement unit 103 of the game device 1a causes an enemy card (user B's card) to appear in the enemy area EA in accordance with the cards described in the defense card data and their appearance order.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described in detail, this invention is not limited to said each embodiment. In addition, it goes without saying that each embodiment may be variously improved and changed without departing from the gist of the present invention. The technical matters described in the above embodiments may be applied in appropriate combination.

In the above-described embodiment, the user area is described as three sections, and the enemy area is specifically described as 15 sections of 3 columns × 5 rows. However, this is only an example, and each of the user area and the enemy area is described. The number of area partitions and the arrangement of the partitions in each area can be changed as appropriate.
In addition, the number of sections in the user area and the number of sections in one line of the enemy area do not need to match. As long as each section in the enemy area is associated with any section in the user area, the number of sections in the user area The number of sections in one line of the enemy area may be set individually.
The arrangement of each section of the user area is not limited to a single line. The user area may be configured by a matrix-like partition arrangement. In that case, each section of the enemy area only needs to be associated with any section of the user area in the matrix form. Further, the section where the user card is arranged may be changed to another section desired by the user by a slide operation on the display screen corresponding to the matrix-shaped user area. At this time, the direction of the slide operation on the user card is not limited to the horizontal direction on the game image, and may be a vertical direction or an oblique direction. The card to be attacked may be specified by the user specifying any card in the first row of the user area in a matrix or any card in the user area.

In the above embodiment, the first operation for changing the section in which the user card is arranged and the second operation for specifying any user card as an attack card are targeted for the user card displayed on the display screen. The case where the slide operation is performed has been described. More specifically, the first operation is a slide (lateral movement) operation, and the second operation is a flick operation. In this case, the two steps of the first operation and the second operation need only be a continuous slide operation on the display screen, and high operability can be realized. For example, by performing a continuous slide operation with the thumb of the gripped hand while holding the relatively small game apparatus 1 with one hand, the battle game can be advanced by the operation with one hand.
The first operation and the second operation are not limited to the slide operation. For example, an instruction button for changing the arrangement of the card between the user section U1 and the user section U2 and an instruction button for changing the arrangement of the card between the user section U2 and the user section U3 are provided. It is good also as designation | designated operation with respect to. The second operation may be a double tap on the card.

  In the above embodiment, a case where the operation direction of the first operation for changing the section in which the user card is arranged is different from the operation direction of the second operation for specifying any user card as an attack card is described. did. In this case, each operation of the first operation and the second operation can be performed separately by the user, and an erroneous operation can be prevented. Further, when the first operation and the second operation are slide operations on the display screen, the user can perform a continuous operation regularly and lightly.

The operation direction of the first operation and the second operation may be the same. For example, FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating a modification in which the operation directions of the first operation and the second operation are the same, and illustrates an example of a display screen when the user is executing a battle game. In the display screen illustrated in FIG. 23, a rotation indicator R1 that accepts an operation input in the vertical direction of the display screen is provided as a target of the first operation. Each time the rotation indicator R1 is operated in the vertical direction, the section in which each card of the user area UA is arranged is switched. For example, when the rotation indicator R1 is operated in the upward direction, the section in which each card of the user area UA is arranged is sequentially switched in the right direction according to the operation amount, and the rotation indicator R1 is operated in the downward direction. In this case, the section in which each card of the user area UA is arranged may be sequentially switched in the left direction according to the operation amount.
In FIG. 23, the second operation is a vertical flick operation, as in the first embodiment. That is, the first direction and the second direction are the same.

  In the above embodiment, the display unit 112 displays the direction in which the user sections in the user area are arranged (first direction) and the direction in which each enemy section in the enemy area is associated with each user section in the user area. The case where (second direction) is orthogonal to each other has been described. In this case, since the user section in the user area and each enemy section in the enemy area corresponding to each user section are orthogonal to each other, the operation direction of the first operation and the operation of the second operation The direction is orthogonal. For this reason, the operations of the two steps can be more clearly distinguished. When the first operation and the second operation are slide operations on the display screen, the user can perform a continuous operation more regularly and lightly. While the operation direction of the first operation is set to the horizontal direction or the vertical direction of the display screen, and the operation direction of the second operation is set to the vertical direction or the horizontal direction of the display screen, the relatively small game apparatus 1 is held with one hand. Since it becomes easy to perform a slide operation with the thumb of the gripped hand, the battle game of this embodiment can be comfortably advanced with high operability.

  As shown in FIG. 24, the first direction and the second direction do not necessarily have to be orthogonal. FIG. 24 is a diagram for explaining a modification example of the second operation for specifying the attack card, and shows an example of a display screen when the user is executing the battle game. FIG. 24 shows a case where the second operation for specifying the attack card includes not only a vertical operation on the display screen but also an oblique operation. In the battle game display screen shown in FIG. 24, the first to third lanes of the enemy area EA correspond to the user sections U1 to U3 of the user area UA, but the first and third lanes are separated from each other. Has been placed. And the user card arrange | positioned at the user division U1 is discharge | released to a 1st lane by flick operation to the left diagonal upper direction. Moreover, the user card arrange | positioned at the user division U3 is discharge | released to the 3rd lane by flicking operation right diagonally upward. In the example shown in FIG. 24, the user sections U1 and U3 and the first and third lanes of the enemy area EA are associated with each other in an oblique direction, and the first direction and the second direction are not orthogonal.

  In the above embodiment, the user area has two or more sections adjacent in the horizontal direction of the display screen, and the enemy area has a section associated with each section in the user area in the vertical direction of the display screen. The first operation is a horizontal slide operation for a card arranged in any section in the user area, and the second operation is arranged in any section in the user area. Although the case where it is the slide operation of the vertical direction which makes object the card | curd currently demonstrated was demonstrated, it is not restricted to this case.

  For example, FIG. 25 shows a display screen when the operation direction of the first operation for changing the section where the user card is arranged and the second operation for specifying the attack card are opposite to those described in the first embodiment. The modification of is shown. In the competitive game shown in FIG. 25, the user area UA is arranged on the left side of the display screen, and the enemy area EA is arranged on the right side of the display screen. The user area UA is composed of three user sections of 1 column × 3 rows. The enemy area EA is composed of enemy sections of 5 columns × 3 rows. Enemy cards appear in the fifth row of the enemy area EA. In the modification shown in FIG. 25, the first operation is a vertical slide operation on the user card, and the second operation is a horizontal (rightward) flick operation on the user card. By the second operation, the user card specified as the attack card is released in the right direction.

In the above embodiment, the first movement processing unit 107 moves the user card specified as the attack card by the second operation toward the enemy card to be attacked, and the effect generation unit 110 is moved by the first movement processing unit 107. The case where a predetermined effect is generated on the enemy card when the moved user card reaches the enemy card to be attacked has been described. In this case, since a user comes to pay attention to the moving user card and the effect produced after that, the interest property of a game can be improved.
Note that the first movement processing unit 107 is not essential. The same effect as described with reference to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 is performed on the enemy card in the enemy zone corresponding to the zone where the user card is placed without moving the user card specified as the attack card. An effect may be generated.
Note that the timing for generating the predetermined effect is not limited to the time when the user card moved by the first movement processing unit 107 reaches the enemy card to be attacked. The timing for generating the predetermined effect is when the user card moved by the first movement processing unit 107 enters the enemy area, reaches a position separated from the enemy card to be attacked by a predetermined distance, or It may be the time when a predetermined time has elapsed from the time when the user card starts moving.

In the above embodiment, the power constituting the user card group and the enemy card group is associated with power as a parameter, and the effect generating unit 110 determines the power of the user card identified as the attack card and the attack target. Based on the comparison result with the power of the enemy card, the case where the power is changed for the enemy card to be attacked or the attack card is lost (that is, the attack card is hidden) has been described. In this case, since the specific effect generated in the attack target enemy card varies depending on the comparison result of the power between the user card specified as the attack card by the second operation and the enemy card of the attack target, After the second operation, attention can be paid to the content of the effect that occurs on the enemy card to be attacked, and the game's interest can be further enhanced.
The effect generated in the enemy card to be attacked is not limited to the power comparison result described above, and may be performed based on the comparison result of other types of parameters. For example, attack power and defense power are associated with each card as a parameter, and the effect to be generated on the enemy card is determined based on a comparison result between the attack power of the attack card and the defense power of the enemy card to be attacked. May be.

  An attribute may be associated with the card, and an effect to be generated on the attack target enemy card may be determined based on the attribute relationship between the attack card and the attack target enemy card. For example, attributes α, β, and γ are set as card attributes, and the strength relationships between the attributes are defined so as to satisfy the relationships α> β, β> γ, and γ> α. If the attack card attribute is stronger than the enemy card attribute, the attack card and the enemy card are lost. If the attack card attribute is weaker than the enemy card attribute, only the attack card is lost. Also good.

  The content of the effect generated on the enemy card to be attacked is not limited to changing the power of the enemy card or erasing the enemy card, and may be a change in the display mode of the enemy card. The change in the display mode of the card may be, for example, a change in the color or pattern of the card or the brightness.

  Further, as shown in the embodiment, it is preferable that the power value is displayed in association with the card. Accordingly, the user can determine the user card to be specified as the attack card and the enemy card to be attacked by predicting the effect generated on the enemy card before specifying the attack card by the second operation. This makes it possible to play more strategically and increase the gameplay.

Claim 7
In the above embodiment, every time the second movement processing unit 108 causes the effect generating unit 110 to generate a predetermined effect on the enemy card to be attacked, an enemy card that is not the target of attack in the enemy card group is displayed in the enemy area. When the enemy card is located in the enemy zone of the first row and the enemy card is not the attack target, the effect generating unit 110 moves to the user card group. The case where a user's HP is reduced as a disadvantageous effect has been described. That is, a case has been described in which the user's HP is reduced when the enemy card located in the enemy zone on the first line in the enemy area is not the attack target. In this case, the user operates the user card by the second operation so that the enemy card located in the enemy zone on the first row or the enemy card approaching the enemy zone on the first row is preferentially attacked. Motivated to identify as an attack card. For this reason, it is required to play a battle in consideration of the order of specifying attack targets among enemy cards arranged in the enemy area, and the game performance is further increased.
Note that the second movement processing unit 108 is not essential. For example, another condition for causing an adverse effect on the user card group without moving the enemy card by the second movement processing unit 108 may be set as appropriate. For example, when the time after the enemy card appears in the enemy area exceeds a predetermined time, the power of the enemy card may be reduced from the user's HP unless the enemy card becomes an attack target. In this case, it is preferable that the user can recognize that the predetermined time has passed by changing the display mode (for example, color, pattern, etc.) of the enemy card that has passed a predetermined time since the appearance.

  In each embodiment mentioned above, although the monster card | curd was mentioned as an example of an object, it is not restricted to this. Any object can be used. For example, the object may include characters, items, etc. on the game, such as virtual persons, creatures, or monsters on the game, and these are displayed on the card as shown in this embodiment. It may be what you have.

  In each of the embodiments described above, the predetermined operation input to the game control device is an input of a designation operation on the display screen, but the operation input is not limited to this. The operation input may be an operation input by shaking a user terminal provided with an acceleration sensor, or an operation input by gesture (gesture input). In gesture input, by performing a predetermined gesture for a user terminal having an imaging function, the user terminal recognizes an image of the gesture and recognizes an operation input associated with the gesture in advance. In the case of a user terminal that can execute a voice recognition program, the operation input may be performed by inputting voice.

  In the second embodiment described above, a case has been described in which a battle game between users is realized via a server on a network, but the present invention is not limited to this case. You may implement | achieve the battle game between users using the communication system performed directly between user terminals, without using a server, for example, communication by P2P (Peer to Peer) or a wireless ad hoc network.

[Summary of Invention]
From the above description, the present invention is grasped as follows, for example.

One aspect of the present invention is a control device for a battle game between a first object group and a second object group.
This controller is
A first area display section (112) for displaying a first area having two or more sections;
A first placement unit (102) for placing any of the objects constituting the first object group in a section in the first area;
A second area display unit (112) for displaying a second area having a section associated with each section in the first area;
A second placement unit (103) for placing objects constituting the second object group in any section of the second area;
A changing unit (105) for changing a section of an object to be arranged in the first area based on a first operation;
A specifying unit (106) for specifying any object in the first area based on a second operation;
An associating unit (109) for associating the identified object with an object arranged in the section of the second area corresponding to the section in which the identified object is arranged;
Is provided.

  In the present invention, the “object” includes, for example, characters and items on the game. The character is, for example, a virtual person or creature on the game, a monster, or the like, and includes characters displayed on a card.

The control device of the present invention may be, for example, a dedicated communication device, a mobile communication terminal such as a smartphone or a mobile terminal, a tablet type, a laptop type, or a stationary personal computer.
The battle game realized by the control device of the present invention may be a battle between object groups owned by different users, or a battle between a user and a computer (NPC). In addition, a battle between object groups owned by different users may be a battle performed in a synchronized manner between game devices operated by each user (that is, an online battle) or asynchronously between users. It may be a battle held in

  In the battle game executed by the control device of the present invention, it is assumed that the user is associated with the first object group, and the enemy who is the opponent of the user is associated with the second object group. That is, the first area is an area made up of user object sections, and the second area is an area made up of enemy object sections. Here, each section in the second area is associated with one of the sections in the first area. The user can change the section of the object arranged in the first area by the first operation, and by specifying any object in the first area by the second operation, the identified object and the object Is associated with the object arranged in the section of the second area corresponding to the section arranged in the area.

  The mode of association can be appropriately defined according to the settings of the game to be applied and is not particularly limited. For example, the identified object and the object associated with the identified object are: Each may be associated as an attacking object and an attacked object. In that case, some effect may not occur on the attacked object. For example, if the attacked object is extremely powerful against the attacking object, no effect need be generated.

  In this competitive game, after the user determines an object of the second object group to be associated, a first operation for changing a section in which the object is arranged as necessary, and a second operation for specifying the object By the two-step operation consisting of the above, one process (for example, one attack process) by the user operation is executed. At this time, since each section in the second area is associated with one of the sections in the first area, the user selects a specific object in the first area and an object in the second area. When the user wants to associate them, the above two-step operation can be performed intuitively, so that a battle game can be realized without compromising operability even if the operation is complicated.

In the control device, the first operation and the second operation may be a slide operation in which an object displayed on a display screen is designated.
By using the first operation and the second operation as slide operations, the above two-step operation is only a continuous slide operation on the display screen, and high operability can be realized. For example, when the control device is relatively small, the battle game can be advanced by one-handed operation by performing a continuous slide operation with the thumb of the gripped hand while holding the control device with one hand. It becomes like this.

In the control device, an operation direction of the first operation may be different from an operation direction of the second operation.
By making the operation direction of the first operation different from the operation direction of the second operation, each operation of the first operation and the second operation can be performed separately, and erroneous operations can be prevented. Further, when the first operation and the second operation are slide operations on the display screen, the user can perform a continuous operation regularly and lightly.

In the control device, the first area display unit (112) displays the sections of the first area arranged in a first direction of a display screen, and the second area display unit (112) Each section of the second area may be displayed so as to face each section of the corresponding first area in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction.
In this configuration, since the sections in the first area and the sections in the second area corresponding to the sections are orthogonal to each other, the operation direction of the first operation and the operation direction of the second operation are Will be orthogonal. For this reason, the operations of the two steps can be more clearly distinguished. When the first operation and the second operation are slide operations on the display screen, the user can perform a continuous operation more regularly and lightly. For example, by holding the operation direction of the first operation as the horizontal direction or the vertical direction of the display screen and setting the operation direction of the second operation as the vertical direction or the horizontal direction of the display screen, the user holds the device while holding the device with one hand. Since it becomes easy to perform the slide operation with the thumb, it is possible to comfortably advance the battle game with high operability.

The control device includes: a first movement processing unit (107) that moves the identified object toward an object associated with the object in response to the second operation;
An effect generating unit (110) that generates a predetermined effect on the associated object when the object moved by the first movement processing unit (107) reaches the object associated with the object; , May be provided.
By moving the object arranged in the first area specified by the user and reaching the object for which the effect is generated (that is, the object associated with the specified object), a predetermined effect is generated. Since the user pays attention to the moving object and the effect that occurs thereafter, the interest of the game can be enhanced.

In the control device, a parameter is associated with each of the objects constituting the first object group and the second object group,
The effect generating unit (110) changes the parameter of the associated object based on a comparison result between the parameter of the identified object and the parameter of the object associated with the identified object, or The display mode may be changed or hidden.
In this configuration, the specific effect that occurs in the effect generation target object varies depending on the parameter comparison result between the object specified by the second operation and the effect generation target object. After that, it becomes possible to pay more attention to the content of the effect generated in the object for which the effect is to be generated, thereby further enhancing the interest of the game.
Preferably, the parameter value may be displayed in association with the object. Thereby, the user can predict the effect based on the comparison result of the parameter of the object before performing the second operation, and can determine the object to be identified and the object on which the effect is to be generated. It becomes possible to play a game, and the game performance increases.

The control device directs at least one object of the second object group to a predetermined section in the second area every time the effect generating unit (110) generates the predetermined effect on the object. A second movement processing unit (108) for moving
The effect generating unit (110) may generate an effect that is disadvantageous to the first object group when the object is located in the predetermined region.
In this configuration, when the object is located in a predetermined area in the second area, a result that is disadvantageous to the user is generated. Therefore, the user approaches the object located in the predetermined area or the predetermined area. The user is motivated to preferentially identify the object as an effect target object by the second operation. For this reason, it is required to play a game in consideration of the order of specifying the objects among the objects arranged in the second area, and the game performance is further increased.

In the control device, a memory for storing object appearance information including information on an order of appearance of each object when at least a part of the objects in the second object group appears in the second area based on an operation. Part (101),
The second placement unit (103) may place an object in the second area with reference to the object appearance information.
In this configuration, the second placement unit (103) can execute a battle between users asynchronously by placing an object with reference to the object appearance information of another user who becomes an enemy from the storage unit (101). become able to. Note that the storage unit (101) that stores the object appearance information does not have to be mounted in the same device as the other units configuring the control device, and is mounted in a storage device that can communicate with the device. Also good.
