Description

  The present invention relates to a program and a game device.

  A battle game in which a player character and an enemy character battle each other is still popular. One of the reasons for its popularity is that various attack methods have been developed due to recent diversification of input means.

  For example, in a game apparatus equipped with a touch panel, there is a technique in which a player character attacks an enemy character based on touching the touch panel (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2010-17395 A

  In the prior art described in Patent Document 1, a trajectory is drawn by rubbing the stylus pen on the touch panel, and an enemy character to be attacked is selected by surrounding the enemy character. Next, when a tap operation is performed, an attack is performed on the selected enemy character, so that the influence on the success or failure of the attack is small depending on the input method of the input means. That is, in the prior art, since the trajectory drawn on the screen is used only for character selection, the strategy of the attack method based on the input method of the input means is low.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a program and a game device that can improve the strategy of an attack method according to the input method of an input means when a player character attacks an enemy character.

  According to the program of one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a program for controlling a battle between characters, in which a first operation in the virtual space displayed on the screen is started on the computer by the user operation. A recognition step for recognizing a line instructed by the user, a moving step for moving the object along the line, and an imparting step for damaging the second character when the object collides with the second character. The moving step changes the moving speed according to the locus of the line when moving the object. Thereby, the strategy of the attack method by the input method of an input means can be improved.

  The moving step may change a moving speed according to the curvature of the line when moving the object. Thereby, the strategy of the attack method according to the input method of the input means can be further improved. In the moving step, the moving speed of the object may be reduced as the curvature increases. As a result, the moving speed varies depending on the curvature of the line even with the same object. For example, if it is desired to attack as quickly as possible, a line close to a straight line may be drawn, and the strategy of the attack can be enhanced.

  Further, in the giving step, when there are a plurality of the second characters near the line, the damage given to the second character may be attenuated every time the object collides with the second character. Thereby, since the player draws a line considering the order in which the object collides with the second character, the strategy can be further improved.

  In the moving step, when there are a plurality of the second characters in the vicinity of the line, the object may be reduced each time the object collides with the second character. Thereby, the player can visually grasp that the damage given to the enemy character is reduced.

  Further, when the movement of the object is controlled based on the instruction of the first character by an indicator capable of indicating the object in the virtual space, the movement step is instructed by the first character. The parameter relating to the movement of the object may be changed according to the time during which the object moves. Thereby, the strategy with respect to the attack method can be further enhanced.

  In addition, when the movement of the object is controlled based on the instruction of the first character by an indicator capable of indicating an object in the virtual space, the giving step is instructed by the first character. The parameter relating to the damage given to the second character may be changed according to the time spent. Thereby, the strategy with respect to the attack method can be further enhanced.

  In the moving step, when the object moves within a predetermined range, when a position outside the predetermined range is instructed by the user operation, the object is moved to a line segment from the position to the start point. You may move the intersection with the boundary line of the said predetermined range. Thereby, even when the player gives an instruction outside the predetermined range when a predetermined range in which the object can be moved is set, the object can be moved within the predetermined range.

  According to another aspect of the game apparatus of the present invention, the game apparatus controls a battle between characters, and the virtual space is set by a user operation starting from the first character in the virtual space displayed on the screen. Recognizing means for recognizing a line indicated within, moving means for moving an object along the line, and giving means for damaging the second character when the object collides with the second character, The moving means changes the moving speed according to the locus of the line when moving the object. As a result, similar to the above, it is possible to improve the strategy of the attack method according to the input method of the input means.

  According to the present invention, when a player character attacks an enemy character, it is possible to improve the strategy of the attack method according to the input method of the input means.

A gauge is a parameter related to wins and losses, and is a parameter that reduces the amount corresponding to the attack when attacked. Hereinafter, a functional configuration of the game apparatus 100 with respect to a method of attacking the opponent group for improving the strategy will be described.

<Functional configuration example of game device>
FIG. 7 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of the game device 100 according to the first embodiment. 7 includes, for example, a first transmission unit 401, a first reception unit 402, a game execution unit 403, and a first game program GP1.

  The first transmission unit 401 can be realized by, for example, the communication interface 207, the CPU 201, the main memory 202, the first game program GP1, and the like. The first transmission unit 401 transmits information input by the player, information related to the progress of the game, and the like to the center server 30.

  The first receiving means 402 can be realized by, for example, the communication interface 207, the CPU 201, the main memory 202, the first game program GP1, and the like. The first receiving unit 402 receives, from the center server 30, battle information indicating the matching result of the character group, information regarding the progress of the game, and the like.

  The game execution unit 403 can be realized by, for example, the CPU 201, the main memory 202, the first game program GP1, and the like. The game execution means 403 executes a game (for example, a battle between teams including a plurality of characters). The game execution unit 403 includes a reception unit 404 and an attack control unit 405.

  The accepting unit 404 accepts a signal input from a touch panel included in the first input device 103, the second input device 104, or the display device 102 during the game execution. The accepting means 404 outputs the accepted signal to the attack control means 405.

  The attack control unit 405 controls an attack on the enemy character or opponent team based on the signal received by the receiving unit 404. The attack control unit 405 includes an object generation unit 410, a recognition unit 411, a movement unit 412, and a grant unit 413.

  The object generation means 410 generates an object that damages the attack target object (reduces the opponent's gauge) when it collides with the attack target object. The object generation unit 410 generates an object based on the signal acquired by the reception unit 404, for example, when it is detected that the player character has been instructed by an instruction for a predetermined time. The pointing object is, for example, a finger or the second input device 104.

  That is, the object generation unit 410 generates an object when the position where the player character is displayed is continuously pressed on the touch panel by the pointing object for a predetermined time. Note that the object generation unit 410 generates a different object for each character or generates an object designated by the user.

  The recognizing unit 411 recognizes a line designated in the virtual space by a user operation, starting from the first character (for example, a player character) in the virtual space displayed on the screen (for example, a touch panel). For example, the recognition unit 411 recognizes a free line drawn on the touch panel by an indicator.

  The recognition unit 411 may recognize the position designated on the touch panel as a position in the virtual space in association with a predetermined position viewed from the virtual camera. The recognizing unit 411 recognizes, as the end point of the line, a point where the indicator has left the touch panel, or a point where the distance (or time) on the touch panel from the start point has reached a predetermined distance (or a predetermined time). .

  The moving unit 412 moves the object generated by the object generating unit 410 along the line recognized by the recognizing unit 411. Although details will be described later, the moving unit 412 moves along a line, moves a straight line connecting the start point and the end point, or draws a parabola in the three-dimensional space, depending on the type of the object. The object may be moved by selecting whether to move the object.

  Further, the moving unit 412 may change the moving speed according to the recognized locus of the line, for example, the curvature of the line, when moving the object along the line. The moving means 412 calculates the curvature of the recognized line, and adjusts the moving speed of the object according to the curvature of the moving destination where the object moves. Further, the moving unit 412 may move the object so as to gradually accelerate from the start of movement. Further, the moving unit 412 may hold a plurality of shapes in advance as the line trajectory, and may change the moving speed of the object according to the path that most closely matches the recognized line trajectory.

  For example, the moving unit 412 decelerates the moving speed of the object as the curvature increases. As a result, the moving speed varies depending on the curvature of the line even with the same object. For example, if it is desired to attack as quickly as possible, a line close to a straight line may be drawn, and the strategy of the attack can be enhanced. The moving unit 412 may change the moving speed of the object according to the length of the line included in the concept of the line trajectory.

  Further, when there are a plurality of second characters (enemy characters of the opponent group) near the line, the moving means 412 may make the object smaller each time the object collides with the second character. As a result, the object becomes smaller each time the object collides with the enemy character, so that the player can visually grasp that the damage given to the enemy character is reduced.

  Further, the moving means 412 is a time when the first character is instructed when the movement of the object is controlled based on the instruction of the first character by the indicator capable of indicating the object in the virtual space. Depending on the parameter, the parameter relating to the movement of the object may be changed.

  For example, the moving means 412 may increase the length of a line that can be drawn, increase the moving speed of the object, or widen a predetermined range in which the object can move, as the instruction time is longer by the pointing object. Thereby, the strategy with respect to the attack method can be further enhanced.

  Further, when the object is moved within a predetermined range and the position outside the predetermined range is instructed by a user operation, the moving unit 412 moves the object to a line segment from the position to the start point and a boundary line between the predetermined range. You may move the intersection with.

  For example, when the moving means 412 moves the object within a predetermined range centered on the player character, and a position exceeding the predetermined range is instructed, the moving means 412 is a predetermined line on the line segment between the position outside the predetermined range and the start point. Control the object to move on the boundary of the range. That is, if the position outside the predetermined range moves, the object moves on the boundary line of the corresponding predetermined range. Thereby, even when the player gives an instruction outside the predetermined range when a predetermined range in which the object can be moved is set, the object can be moved within the predetermined range.

  The giving means 413 gives damage to the second character when the object collides with the second character (enemy character). The giving means 413 performs a process of reducing the opponent's gauge when the second character is damaged.

  Further, when there are a plurality of second characters near the line, the imparting unit 413 may attenuate the damage given to the second character every time the object collides with the second character. Thereby, since the player draws a line considering the order in which the object collides with the second character, the strategy can be further improved.

  Further, the imparting means 413 may set the damage attenuation rate to another stage. For example, the imparting means 413 gives 100% damage of the predetermined damage to the second character that collides first, causes 50% damage to the second character that collides second, and the character that collides after the third. The damage may be reduced by 50% to 5%.

  In addition, when the movement of the object is controlled based on the instruction of the first character by the instruction that can indicate the target object in the virtual space, the granting unit 413 is in the time when the first character is instructed. Accordingly, the parameter relating to the damage given to the second character may be changed.

  For example, the giving means 413 increases the damage caused by the object, decreases the damage attenuation rate, increases the damage range (collision), The degree of status change may be increased or the time may be increased. Thereby, the strategy with respect to the attack method can be further enhanced. Further, the attack control unit 405 may increase the predetermined time of a timer, which will be described later, or increase the size of the object as the instruction time by the indicator is longer.

<Specific examples of attack methods>
Next, attack methods that can be executed in this game will be described using specific examples for each type. As the type of attack, a first attack that enables a strategic attack against an enemy character that is far from the player character, and the position of the enemy character on the screen (for example, a touch panel) are rubbed using an indicator. For example, a second attack that attacks the enemy character close to the player character, a third attack that attacks the enemy character close to the player character, and a fourth attack that uses the ability (hereinafter also referred to as skill) of the player character. Including attacks.

(First attack)
First, the first attack will be described. The first attack is further classified into three types. The three types are a first attack A for moving the damage object A along a free curve drawn by the player, and a first attack B for throwing the damage object B so as to draw a parabola from the start point to the end point of the free curve drawn by the player. And a first attack C that linearly moves the damage object C from the start point to the end point of the free curve drawn by the player until it collides with the enemy character. Which of the first attacks A to C is performed may be determined according to the player character.

・ First attack A
The accepting unit 404 outputs a signal received from the display device 102 to the attack control unit 405 when the player character on the display screen continues to be instructed for a predetermined time using the pointing object. In addition, when the player character is instructed, it means that a range where the player character is displayed or a range expanded from the range is touched on the screen by the indicator. Hereinafter, in the first attack, the pointing object will be described as the second input device 104 and the screen as the touch panel.

  The attack control unit 405 detects from the receiving unit 404 that the player character on the touch panel has been pressed for a predetermined time by the second input device 104. Next, the object generation means 410 generates a damage object A that gives predetermined damage by colliding with an enemy character. The object generation unit 410 may not display the object on the touch panel when the object is generated.

  The recognizing unit 411 recognizes a locus of a free line drawn while maintaining the contact state with the touch panel after the player character is pressed for a predetermined time by the second input device 104. The recognition unit 411 draws the end point of the line at a predetermined distance or a predetermined time from the point where the second input device 104 has changed from the contact state to the non-contact state with respect to the touch panel or from the start point (display position of the player character). The end point may be the end point. At this time, a locus of a line may be displayed on the touch panel. The attack control unit 405 may detect that the player character on the touch panel is touched and selected by the second input device 104. In this case, the recognizing unit 411 recognizes the locus of a free line drawn while maintaining the contact state with the touch panel immediately after the player character is touched by the second input device 104.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a procedure (part 1) of the first attack A. In the example shown in FIG. 8, a free curve LN1 is drawn on the touch panel by the player starting from the player character PC1. At this time, the recognition unit 411 recognizes the locus of the line LN1 drawn by the player. The player may draw such that there are a plurality of enemy characters EC near the line LN1.

  Next, the moving unit 412 moves the damaged object A generated by the object generating unit 410 along the line recognized by the recognizing unit 411 after the recognizing unit 411 recognizes the end point of the line. The movement along the line does not necessarily need to be on the line, and includes moving within a predetermined range from the line. The moving means 412 may move the damaged object A by a predetermined distance in the line extending direction beyond the end point of the line.

  The imparting means 413 imparts predetermined damage to the enemy character when the moving damage object A collides with the enemy character. The damage object A of the first attack A penetrates without disappearing even if it collides with an enemy character. Further, whenever the damage object A collides with the enemy character, the damage given to the enemy character is attenuated, the size of the damage object A is reduced, and the damage range (collision) is preferably reduced.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of the procedure (part 2) of the first attack A. The example shown in FIG. 9 shows one screen on which the damage object OB1 moves on the line LN1 shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 9, the damage object OB1 collides with the enemy character EC. At this time, the attack control means 405 starts the timer TM1 with the start of the movement of the damage object OB1. The timer TM1 indicates that the first attack A cannot be performed again unless a predetermined time has elapsed.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of the procedure (part 3) of the first attack A. In the example shown in FIG. 10, a screen later in time than the screen shown in FIG. 9 is shown. The screen shown in FIG. 10 is a screen in which the damage object OB1 penetrates even if it collides with the enemy character EC and collides with another enemy character EC near the line LN1 to cause damage. At this time, every time the damage object OB1 collides with the enemy character EC, the damage given to the enemy character EC is attenuated and the size is reduced.

  At this time, the applying unit 413 may set the attenuation rate of damage to be applied in multiple stages. For example, if the damage given by the first collision is 100%, the imparting means 413 may reduce it to 50% of the second time and attenuate by 5% after the third time. Note that the imparting means 413 may determine a minimum value of damage to be applied, or may not attenuate to the minimum value or less.

  Further, a predetermined range in which the damage object A can move may be set in the virtual space of the game. In this case, when the position outside the predetermined range is instructed by the second input device 104, the moving means 412 places the damage object A on the line segment between the position outside the predetermined range and the start point that is the display position of the player character. It moves on the boundary of a certain range.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of the first attack A exception (part 1). In the example shown in FIG. 11, the predetermined range indicates a circle of a predetermined size centered on the player character. A dotted line BL1 shown in FIG. 11 indicates a part of the boundary line in the predetermined range.

  When the player draws a line exceeding the predetermined range by the pointing object, the moving means 412 moves on the boundary line BL1 on the line segment between the position recognized by the recognition means 411 and the starting point of the line. Set as a trajectory. In the example illustrated in FIG. 11, the line LN2 indicates a movement locus. Note that the boundary line BL1 may always be displayed on the screen.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of exception (part 2) of the first attack A. In the example shown in FIG. 12, the damage object OB1 moves on the line LN2 set by the moving means 412.

  With the first attack A described above, the damage object A can be moved along the line drawn on the virtual space through the touch panel using the pointing object, so that the strategy of the attack method can be improved.

・ First attack B
The attack control unit 405 detects that the player character on the touch panel is pressed for a predetermined time by the second input device 104 based on the signal acquired from the receiving unit 404. Next, the object generation means 410 generates a damage object B corresponding to the player character. The object generation unit 410 may not display the damage object B on the touch panel when the damage object B is generated.

  The recognizing means 411 recognizes the end point of a free line drawn while maintaining the contact state with the touch panel after the player character is pressed for a predetermined time by the second input device 104. At this time, a line segment connecting the start point and the end point may be displayed on the touch panel. The attack control unit 405 may detect that the player character on the touch panel is touched and selected by the second input device 104. In this case, the recognizing unit 411 recognizes the end point of a free line drawn while maintaining the contact state with the touch panel immediately after the player character is touched by the second input device 104.

In the example shown in FIG. 13, a free line is drawn on the touch panel by the player starting from the player character PC2. At this time, the recognition unit 411 recognizes the end point PT1 of the line drawn by the player. The player may set the end point PT1 at a position where a plurality of enemy characters EC exist.

  At this time, the attack control means 405 displays a range AR1 centered on the end point PT1 and a range AR2 larger than the range AR1 on the touch panel. The range AR1 indicates a range including a position where the damage object B is dropped, and the range AR2 indicates a range in which the range AR1 can move. The range AR1 may be moved by the operation lever of the first input device 103.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of the procedure (part 2) of the first attack B. The example illustrated in FIG. 14 is an example in which the range AR1 is shifted to the left using the first input device 103 with respect to the screen example illustrated in FIG. Thereby, even after the second input device 104 is in a non-contact state with respect to the screen, the dropping position of the damaged object B can be shifted by shifting the position of the end point in the direction in which more enemy characters EC exist. become able to.

  Next, after the end of the line is recognized by the recognition unit 411, the moving unit 412 moves the damaged object B generated by the object generation unit 410 so as to draw a parabola from the start point to the end point.

  When the damage object B which has drawn and moved a parabola is dropped on the ground in the virtual space, the giving means 413 gives damage to the enemy character existing within a predetermined range from the drop position indicating the final end point. The imparting means 413 may change the damage given to the enemy character according to the distance from the drop position.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of the procedure of the first attack B (part 3). The example shown in FIG. 15 shows one screen in which the damage object OB2 has exploded within the range AR1 shown in FIG.

Also, in the first attack B, similarly to the first attack A, the timer TM1 starts, and the first attack B cannot be performed until a predetermined time elapses.

  By the first attack B described above, the damage object B can be thrown at the drop position based on the end point designated on the virtual space through the touch panel using the pointing object, so that the strategy of the attack method can be improved. .

・ First attack C
The attack control unit 405 detects that the player character on the touch panel has been pressed for a predetermined time by the second input device 104 based on the signal acquired by the receiving unit 404. Next, the object generation unit 410 generates a damage object C corresponding to the player character. The object generation unit 410 does not have to display the damage object C on the touch panel when the damage object C is generated.

  The recognizing means 411 recognizes the end point of a free line drawn while maintaining the contact state with the touch panel after the player character is pressed for a predetermined time by the second input device 104. At this time, a line segment connecting the start point and the end point may be displayed on the screen. The attack control unit 405 may detect that the player character on the touch panel is touched and selected by the second input device 104. In this case, the recognizing unit 411 recognizes the end point of a free line drawn while maintaining the contact state with the touch panel immediately after the player character is touched by the second input device 104.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an example of a procedure of the first attack C (part 1). In the example shown in FIG. 16, a free curve is drawn on the touch panel by the player starting from the player character PC3. At this time, the recognition unit 411 recognizes the end point PT2 of the line drawn by the player. The player may set the end point PT2 at the position where the enemy character EC to be attacked exists.

  Next, after the line end point is recognized by the recognition unit 411, the moving unit 412 moves the damaged object C generated by the object generation unit 410 in the direction from the start point to the end point (for example, from the start point to the end point, or from the start point). Move in a straight line (predetermined distance) in the end point direction.

  When the damage object C that moves straight and collides with the enemy character EC for the first time, the imparting means 413 imparts predetermined damage to the enemy character EC. The damage object C disappears without penetrating when it collides with the enemy character EC.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an example of the procedure (part 2) of the first attack C. The example shown in FIG. 17 shows one screen in which the damage object OB3 collides with the enemy character EC located at the end point PR2 shown in FIG. 15 and the damage object OB3 exploded.

  In the example shown in FIG. 17, the damage object OB3 is a concept like a bomb that is thrown linearly. As shown in FIG. 17, when the damage object OB3 collides with the enemy character EC, predetermined damage is imparted by the imparting means 413. Also in the first attack C, the timer TM1 is started in the same manner as the first attacks A and B, and the first attack C cannot be performed until a predetermined time elapses.

  With the first attack C described above, the damage object C can be moved to the end point designated on the virtual space through the touch panel using the pointing object, so that the strategy of the attack method can be improved.

(Second attack)
Next, the second attack will be described. The second attack is an attack performed by rubbing the position of an enemy character on a screen (for example, a touch panel) using an indicator. The second attack is less damaging to the enemy character than the first attack.
