Do. The memory 103 is a storage device used for temporary data storage, such as volatile memory. The memory 103 is used not only as a development area of the operation program of each block but also as a storage area for temporarily storing data etc. output in the operation of each block.

  The payment detection unit 104 detects that the game device 100 pays for the payment. The payment of the consideration is judged, for example, by detecting that a coin of a predetermined amount or a corresponding coin has been inserted into the coin insertion slot, or completion of settlement processing based on communication with a chip relating to a predetermined electronic money, etc. It may be Although the game device 100 of the present embodiment is described as starting a service involving provision of a game card to the player based on payment of compensation, payment of compensation is not an essential requirement, but based on a predetermined start instruction. The service may be started.

  The presentation control unit 107 controls control of various information presentation to the player in the game apparatus 100. In the game apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, as a means for presenting various information to the player, a first display unit 120 and a second display unit 130 for displaying an image (game screen, menu screen etc.) and an audio output unit for audio output. Although it is described as having 140, it goes without saying that the means of information presentation is not limited to these, and can be substituted or added.

  The presentation control unit 107 includes, for example, a drawing device such as a GPU, and performs predetermined drawing processing when generating a screen to be displayed on the first display unit 120 and the second display unit 130. Specifically, while the game apparatus 100 is in operation (game play or standby state), the presentation control unit 107 determines a predetermined drawing object with respect to a necessary drawing object based on a process or an instruction performed by the control unit 101. Perform arithmetic processing and draw a screen. The generated screen is output to the first display unit 120 or the second display unit 130, which may be a display device connected in the same housing as the game apparatus 100 or outside the game apparatus 100, and the predetermined display It is presented to the player by being displayed in the area.

  The game device 100 according to the present embodiment has two types of display devices (a first display unit 120 and a second display unit 130) as shown in FIG. Generates a game screen for each of them. A plurality of game cards can be placed on the placement panel 131 at the same time, and information acquisition and state detection are performed for each game card during game play.

  In the sequence relating to the character operation, the second display unit 130 displays an image of a field serving as a reference for placing a game card as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 (a position and an area for placing a game card are clearly indicated) Game screen including a two-dimensional image configured to At this time, in response to the operation of moving the game card on the placement panel 131, the arrangement of the character corresponding to the game card in the game field is changed, and the action taken by the corresponding character is also performed. As the preparatory movement changes, a game screen drawn about the viewpoint that overlooks the character and other characters appearing in the game is presented to the player by being displayed on the first display unit 120.

  In addition, the second display unit 130 of the present embodiment causes the acquiring unit 105 described later to acquire the invisible code attached to the game card placed on the placement panel 131 while displaying the transitioning game screen. Is configured to be possible. For example, when the second display unit 130 is a liquid crystal display device, a light transmissive liquid crystal panel layer and a light guide layer are provided in the lower layer of the mounting panel 131, and a light source is disposed around (side) the light guide layer. Thus, the bottom surface of the second display unit 130 may not have a casing serving as a shield. Thus, the imaging unit (not shown) included in the acquisition unit 105 is invisible ink on the game card placed on the placement panel 131 from the back side of the second display unit 130 (inside the housing of the game apparatus 100). It is possible to capture an image from which the attached code can be extracted. The configuration of the second display unit 130 is not limited to this.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the information attached to the game card is, for example, as shown in FIG. 11A, a card ID 1101 uniquely identifying the card and a character ID 1102 identifying the associated character. And may be included. The used card information as an example of the game information of the present invention acquired and registered for each game card based on the character ID is, for example, a card ID 1111 acquired from the card, as shown in FIG. (Card ID 1101) and character ID 1112 (character ID 1102), the drawing information 1113 of the corresponding character acquired from the character DB 106 described later, the sound data 1114, the progress parameter 1115, and the state on the mounting panel 131 ( It manages detection information 1116 indicating position, rotation and / or movement).

  The character DB 106 is a database that manages information (character information) about each of the characters predetermined to appear in the game. In the game provided by the game device 100 of the present embodiment, a plurality of characters may appear in a game related to one game play. In the game device 100, when the player uses a game card during game play, it is possible to cause the character associated with the card to appear in the game as, for example, a character used by the player and use (operate) .

  The character information managed for one character may have a data configuration as shown in FIG. 11C, for example. As illustrated, character information is associated with a character ID 1121 uniquely identifying a character, and drawing information 1122 including graphics data and the like used for screen generation when the character is made to appear in a game In addition to voice data 1123 used for the character and the name and attribute of the character, predetermined physical strength (durability), magic amount, offensive power, defensive power, activation technique (attack behavior described later: small magic and great magic) , Progress parameters 1124 describing various parameters of element-specific capabilities such as special skills, and the like. The progress parameter 1124 is information referred to in the game for causing the character to appear, and the progress control of the game provided by using the information is performed.

  In the present embodiment, graphics data and audio data are stored in the character DB 106, and the character information includes the data. However, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this. The character information may include information indicating a storage location of the corresponding data.

  In the present embodiment, a character ID is associated with character information managed for each character in the character DB 106, and the character associated with the card is obtained based on the character ID acquired from the game card by the acquiring unit 105. Although it is described that the use card information can be configured and registered by acquiring various types of information necessary for controlling the progress of the game from the character DB 106, the implementation of the present invention is not limited to this. That is, the information attached to the game card is not configured to have only information for specifying various information necessary for controlling the progress of the game, such as a character ID, but is necessary for controlling the progress of the game. May be configured to include various information.

  The provision control unit 108 controls the operation of the provision unit 150 so as to normally provide one game card for one game play based on the payment of the value. The game card provided by the game device 100 is provided, for example, before the start of the game sequence relating to the provision of a predetermined game (game part for operating the operation character: competition game), that is, basically the play content of the game Regardless of the card, it is a game card to which predetermined (fixed) information is attached. The providing unit 150 is, for example, a card dispenser, has a stocker (not shown) for depositing game cards in the vertical direction, and holds the game card held at the bottom of the stocker in accordance with the providing instruction issued by the providing control unit 108. It may be configured to have a mechanism for providing one sheet.

The game card provided from the game device 100 of the present embodiment is a ready-made card printed and manufactured in advance, and the design of the character image, parameters, etc. printed on the surface of the game card is fixed. It is formed in the same size.

  Although game device 100 of the present embodiment is described as providing a ready-made card having a fixed design that has been printed and issued in advance in a factory or the like, the provided game card is dynamic by so-called on-demand printing. The design may be changeable. In this case, the providing unit 150 is a printing device that performs printing on a predetermined paper medium, and, for example, game information having a character ID of a character selected by the player or by lottery processing according to the progress of the game is configured. The code obtained by converting this by the conversion method for the game card may be printed on the game card.

  The operation input unit 109 is a user interface of the game apparatus 100, such as an operation member for direction input, an operation member for determination input, and various sensors. When the operation input unit 109 detects that an operation input to the operation member is performed, the operation input unit 109 outputs a control signal corresponding to the operation input to the control unit 101. In the present embodiment, although the game apparatus 100 is described as having various interfaces as physical operation members, the game apparatus 100 includes, for example, a touch input detection sensor that detects a touch input made on the screen of the second display unit 130. It may be.

  Communication unit 110 is a communication interface with an external device that game device 100 has. The communication unit 110 can connect to an external device via a network (whether wired or wireless), which may be a communication network such as the Internet or a cable connecting devices, and can transmit and receive data. . The communication unit 110 converts, for example, information input as a transmission target into data of a predetermined format, and transmits the data to an external device such as a server via a network. When the communication unit 110 receives information from an external device via, for example, a network, the communication unit 110 decodes the information and stores the information in the memory 103.

When the program data is received by the communication unit 110 together with the program update request, the control unit 101 uses the received program data of the process related to the game currently stored in the recording medium 102 according to the update request. It can be updated. In addition, the update process of the program of the process related to the game is automatically executed, for example, when the program data recorded in the recording medium is inserted into an optical drive (not shown) of the game apparatus. It can also be executed by the administrator giving a start command.

<< game outline >>
Next, an outline of a game in which provision of a play experience is performed in the game device 100 of the present embodiment will be described. The game in which the play experience is provided in the game apparatus 100 of the present embodiment is, as described above, a team of two characters (a team of used characters (a team used) and a team of opponent characters (a partner character) ) Is a battle game to be played against. The player places a game card on the placement panel 131 to register a character (use character) relating to the use team, and also causes each use character to perform the action by moving the game card during game play. Etc. can be entered.

  More specifically, a screen including a card placement field image 301 as shown in FIG. 3 is displayed on the second display unit 130, and the game card is placed in the display area of the field image 301 on the placement panel 131. In accordance with which position the game character is placed, the arrangement of the use character associated with each game card and the action to be taken are determined. In the game of this embodiment, a predetermined amount of points (magic amount) is assigned to each character at the start of play, and a fixed amount is consumed when the condition for occurrence of an action is satisfied. At that time, an action by the character occurs and is reflected in the game. The action by the character is an attacking action (reduces the remaining amount of physical strength due to damage) to at least one of the characters of the opponent team, and in the game of the present embodiment, two types of small magic and large magic are provided, each different The consumption amount is set (for each character).

  Here, small magic and great magic differ not only in consumption, but also in the time required for occurrence of an action, and in the amount of damage to an opponent caused by the action (a parameter change that makes the progress of the opponent's game disadvantageous). In small magic, the time required to generate an action is short, and it can be generated with the consumption of a small amount of magic, but the amount of damage given to the opponent is set lower than in large magic. On the other hand, in the case of great magic, the amount of damage given to the opponent is set higher than in small magic, but the time required to generate an action is longer, and the amount of magic consumption is set larger than in small magic. That is, since the small magic and the great magic differ in the possibility of occurrence of action and the amount of damage given, it is necessary for the player to assemble the game so as to strategically select the action while reading the progress of the game. These points contribute to the provision of interesting elements of the game.

  Therefore, the used character that uses the great magic that takes a long time to generate an action is placed as a back guard of the used team in the game so that it will not become inoperable and will not be interrupted due to damage during the preparation operation. Configured to be possible. At this time, the player moves the game card associated with the use character to the large magic field 303 corresponding to the rear guard as an example of the second area of the present invention in the field image 301 of FIG. By arranging, it is possible to determine the arrangement in the game and the action to be generated (large magic). In addition, characters that use magic spells that take a short time to occur are unlikely to be damaged during the preparation operation, and can prevent attack behavior against characters that are scheduled to use magic magic, It can be arranged as a team's vanguard in the game. At this time, the player moves and arranges the game card associated with the use character to the small magic field 302 corresponding to the avant-garde of the field image 301 as an example of the first area of the present invention. The arrangement to the area in the game and the action to be generated (small magic) can be determined.

  As described above, in the game provided in the game device 100 according to the present embodiment, the used character associated with the game card is determined by which position the player places the game card on the mounting panel 131, You can control whether to act as an avant-garde or as a back-guard in the game, or to perform either small magic or great magic as an offensive action.

  Further, as described above, the magic amount is assigned as an initial value a predetermined amount for each character as the initial value, and decreases by the value assigned for the action due to the occurrence of the attack action. That is, in order to cause the use character to perform a desired offensive action, it is necessary that the magic amount necessary for the planned action remains. That is, in the game of this embodiment, each character is incapacitated when the amount of magic necessary for the offensive action that the player wants to perform does not remain. The magic amount can be consumed even if the opponent character causes a specific action in addition to the consumption due to the offensive action, and becomes incapacitated even if the used character does not take action. In some cases. In the game according to the present embodiment, the used game card in such an inoperable state is moved and arranged by moving the associated game card to the recovery field 304 as an example of the third area of the present invention, It is possible to recover the reduced amount of magic. Recovery may be performed according to a period during which the associated game card is placed in the recovery field 304, and may be recovered up to the initial value of the magic amount of the character.

  In addition, strictly speaking, if the amount of magic consumed is small and the amount of magic for small magic generation does not remain, the character can not take any aggression action but becomes incapacitated, but the small magic Even if the amount of magic generated is still present, but the amount of magic generated as a large magic is not left, the player moves the corresponding game card to the recovery field 304, and causes the magic amount to be recovered. Shall be possible.

  A target (an opponent) when an offensive action occurs is basically selected at random (for example, by a lottery process) from among the other-player characters arranged on the ante-guard and the rear-guard of the other team. When an attacking action is performed on the opponent character of the back guard, if the opponent character is arranged in the front guard and a predetermined condition is satisfied, the opponent character of the front guard prevents the attack on the opposite character of the back guard. It may be configured. The same may be applied to the case where an offensive action against the using team by the opponent character occurs. Further, when all the opponent characters are arranged in the recovery field when the offensive behavior occurs, the target of the offensive behavior is selected from among the opponent characters arranged in the recovery field. Good.

  In the battle game provided by the game device 100 according to the present embodiment, repeating such an attacking action causes the team whose strength value determined by the team character of the opponent is first set to 0 by the damage, or a predetermined one. The team with the highest overall strength value at the end of the time limit is the winning team.

<Standby display>
By the way, the battle game according to the present embodiment is not a turn system that alternately performs the movement operation of the game card and the occurrence of the action based on the arrangement after the movement, but progresses corresponding to the passage of time and proceeds within the play period. A highly real-time game system is adopted in which the occurrence of the action of each character during the play period is controlled in accordance with the moving operation of the stored game card. Therefore, the standby display 401 and the standby display 401 shown at the bottom of the game screen 400 of FIG. 4A are made to indicate whether or not the corresponding character can act on the arrangement of the game card made by the player. It notifies using 402. More specifically, the standby display indicates a standby display 401 indicating whether or not each character (used character) of the use team can act, and a standby display 402 indicating whether or not the respective characters (other characters) of the opponent team can act. And consists of. With such a standby display, the player can determine a suitable timing for generating an action, select an action to be generated, and grasp a situation in which an action by the opponent character occurs.

  Hereinafter, the details of the standby display will be further described with reference to the drawings.

  The waiting display provided for one team (for example, the use team) corresponds to each of the use characters on a linear path 410 connecting the two end points 411 and 412, as shown enlarged in FIG. 4 (b). This is performed by arranging the displayed indicators (character icons) 413a to e. In the present embodiment, an image of the corresponding character is attached to each character icon 413 as information for making it possible to identify the corresponding character. The end point 411 indicates an initial position as a starting point of standby display, and each character icon 413 moves along the path 410 to a target position which is the other end point 412. At this time, a predetermined moving speed is defined for each character icon 413, and the time required for the character icon 413 to reach the target position is the time required for the action of the corresponding character to occur. That is, the action of each used character during the play period relating to the competitive game is determined when the character icon 413 corresponding to the character moves on the path 410 according to the passage of time and the target position is reached.

  In the battle game of the present embodiment, each character icon 413 is basically configured to move from the initial position of the path 410 to the target position in the standby display, and the attack action selected for the corresponding character, that is, the corresponding game The moving speed is controlled in accordance with the placement position on the placement panel 131 of the card. Here, for each of the offensive actions provided for each character (small magic and great magic, respectively), the time required for generation is determined individually for each character according to the performance value of the character. It is used to derive the moving speed. By doing this, the player can grasp the time required to generate an action according to the moving speed of each character icon 413 and the distance to the target position in the standby display. In other words, each character icon 413 moves to the target position along the route according to the passage of time required to generate an action.

  On the other hand, at the start of the match game, since the amount of magic is still sufficient, the player basically uses all of the game cards used at positions corresponding to the offensive action (on the small magic field 302 or the large magic field 303). It is assumed to move to). In this case, the plurality of character icons 413 are arranged at the initial position, and it is difficult for the player to grasp the time required for the occurrence of the action of each character until the difference in position according to the movement speed appears clearly It can be Therefore, in the battle game of the present embodiment, the arrangement of the character icon 413 on the standby display at the start time avoids difficulty in understanding the standby time due to the overlapping of the plurality of character icons 413. The movement start position of the icon 413 is controlled.

  More specifically, the arrangement of the character icon 413 at the start of the match game is controlled by the performance value of the corresponding character and the type of attack action to be generated. Here, the performance value of the character may be at least one of the progress parameters used to control the progress of the game, and is assigned a performance value which makes the progress of the game advantageous (progress of the game by the occurrence of the attack action) As the character is made more advantageous, the movement start position is determined so as to be farther away from the target position. Further, as described above, in the battle game of the present embodiment, there is a difference in the amount of damage given to the opponent's team between the small magic and the large magic, so even with the same character, The movement start position of the corresponding character icon 413 is set at a position away from the target position in the case of generating a large magic with a large amount of damage rather than the case of generating a small magic with a small amount of action.

  The movement start position is, for example, for each of the characters for which the game card is placed in the small magic field 302 and the large magic field 303, according to the performance value of the character (based on the time required for generating the small magic action) The movement start position to be determined is tentatively determined. Thereafter, the position is corrected in accordance with which field the game card is arranged, and the movement start position at the start is determined. At this time, correction may be performed so as to separate the provisionally determined movement start position from the target position only for the character in which the game card is arranged in the large magic field 303. The correction may be performed on the basis of the performance value determined for each character or the time required for the occurrence of a large magic action, or a uniform coefficient regardless of the character (a distance from a target position or a standby may be used. It may be performed by multiplying time). The movement start position determined at this time is determined to be one of the sections of the route 410 on the standby display excluding the end point 411 which is the initial position, ie, the section to the target position not including the initial position. By performing such control, the waiting time of each character can be grasped. Although the control described above alleviates the fact that the plurality of character icons 413 at the start of the battle game is located at the same location (a display in which the plurality of character icons 413 overlap), the plurality of character icons 413 When located at the same location, control may be performed so as not to be located at the same location (so that a plurality of character icons 413 do not overlap).

  In addition, after the waiting time has elapsed, that is, when the character icon 413 moves to the target position with the elapse of time, the control unit 101 causes the attack of the character corresponding to the character icon 413 to occur. Progress control is performed. After the offensive action is generated for one character, the action to be generated next to the character is determined according to the movement operation of the corresponding game card, and it is waited for how long it takes until the action can be generated. It will be notified by the display. As shown in FIG. 4 (a), in the competition game of this embodiment, it is possible for the use team to plan an operation for capture while grasping the action standby status of each character of the use team and the opponent team. The stand-by display 401 and the stand-by display 402 for the opponent team are provided such that the end point 412 relating to both target positions is arranged in the central region of the game screen 400. In other words, the standby displays 401 and 402 notify the player whether or not the offensive action of the characters of both teams can occur, so that the game screen 400 can be compared easily by bringing the two target positions closer to each other. Placed in. In the example of FIG. 4A, the standby display 401 and the standby display 402 each have an end point 411 related to the initial position near different sides of the game screen 400, and from the end point 411, the end point which is the target position Each path is formed such that the character icon 413 moves toward the central area where the 412 exists. Further, the end point 412 relating to the target position of the standby display 401 and 402 is common, and the player gazes near the end point 412 to determine the distance from the end point 412 and the moving speed of the character icon 413 existing in each path. Based on the action occurrence order of the character.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4A, the standby display of the use team and the opposing team is described as being arranged to share the target position, but the implementation of the present invention is limited to this. is not. For example, the standby displays of both teams are spaced apart as shown in FIG. 5 (a), and the target positions of each standby display are close, or the standby displays of both teams are shown in FIG. 5 (b). The target positions are arranged within a predetermined distance range, for example, the character icons 413 are arranged in parallel with the moving direction in common, and the target positions of the respective standby displays are arranged close to each other in the vertical direction. Alternatively, the player may be configured to easily grasp both action waiting situations.

  In addition, at the start of the battle game, the first (first) attacking action of each character is performed in order to control occurrence of a situation where the character icon 413 of each character in the standby display is duplicated. The moving speed of each character icon 413 up to the point may be equal, and the player may be configured to be able to clearly grasp the action order of the character. That is, in such an aspect, since the order change during movement between the character icons 413 does not occur, the character icons of the team characters are arranged in the order of action from the target position in the standby display.

  In addition, according to the characteristics of the character and the selected action, the time of the action occurrence according to the first after the start of the competition game is dispersed, and the moving operation of the game card according to the attack action after the next (after the first) Even when it is detected, it is dispersed for each character. Therefore, there is a low possibility that the character icons 413 will overlap even if the movement start position related to the next and subsequent attack behavior is not controlled, and the movement start position of each character icon 413 may be simply set as the initial position as described above.

  In addition, when an amount of magic is consumed due to the action of the opponent character and there is a use character in an inoperable state, it is necessary to promptly notify the player of this. In this case, as shown in FIG. 4C, the movement of the character icon 413 is stopped on the route of the standby display, and a notification 414 indicating that the action can not be performed is superimposed on the character icon 413, for example. It may be controlled to display.

  In addition, for characters whose game card has been placed in the recovery field 304, it is possible to place the character icon 413 on the route (except for the end points), instead of waiting for the occurrence of an attack action. The action standby situation may be misidentified by the player, which is not appropriate. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4D, the character icon 413 relating to the character on which the game card is placed in the recovery field 304 may be displayed without moving from the initial position of the standby display. . At this time, in order to inform the player of the recovery situation of the amount of magic due to being placed in the recovery field 304, whether it is incapacitated state or actable state, or how long it takes to become actable, remains. You may make an incidental notification such as the amount of magic that has been (recovered).

<< Provision process >>
In the game device 100 of the present embodiment having such a configuration, a specific process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The processing corresponding to the flowchart can be realized by, for example, the control unit 101 reading out a corresponding processing program stored in the recording medium 102, and expanding and executing the program in the memory 103. Note that the present providing process is described as being started when, for example, the payment detecting unit 104 detects that the payment is made while the game apparatus 100 is in the standby state.

  In step S601, under control of the control unit 101, the provision control unit 108 controls the providing unit 150 to provide a game card for payment of the compensation for starting the present provision process. Further, when providing the game card, the control unit 101 causes the presentation control unit 107 to notify that the game card is provided.

  In step S602, the control unit 101 determines an opponent character (an opponent team) to be made to appear in this game play. The battle game provided by the game device 100 of the present embodiment is a line between the used character whose action is controlled based on the operation of the player and the opponent character appearing in the game as a non-player character (NPC). Shall be For each of the used character and the opponent character, the number appearing in the battle game is predetermined to be five, and in this step, the control unit 101 determines the required number of opponent characters, and for the battle game related to the opponent character Is added to the other-party character management table of the memory 103 and stored. The determination of the opponent character may be performed in response to the operation input for selecting any one of the opponent character provided in advance, the task associated with the opponent character, and the like, or the lottery The processing may be performed without the need for an operation input according to the processing, information of the player's play progress status recorded in a separate recording medium, or the like.

  The information of one record managed for one character in the other party character management table may have the same configuration as the used card information except that it does not have the detection information 1116, and the determined other party Necessary information may be acquired from the character DB 106 and stored based on the character ID of the character.

  In step S603, the control unit 101 executes a registration process of registering a use character (use team) to be made to appear in the competition game in the current game play. The registration process is performed by placing a game card relating to a character that the player desires to appear as a use team on the placement panel 131 of the second display unit 130. In the registration process, the acquisition unit 105 applies an image process for extracting and converting a code attached to a game card to an image obtained by imaging the placement panel 131, thereby detecting a game card and corresponding game information. Get it.

  When there is a change in the game card placed on the placement panel 131 (detection of a new game card, disappearance of the detected game card (due to being removed)), the acquisition unit 105 Perform the corresponding processing (addition / deletion of used card information). For example, when a new game card is detected, the acquisition unit 105 analyzes the invisible code attached to the card to acquire the character ID associated with the associated character, and along with the detected coordinates and rotation information of the card. It is output to the control unit 101. Then, the control unit 101 configures use card information by acquiring corresponding character information (game information) from the presentation control unit 107 based on the character ID acquired from the detected game card, and configures the use card information. It adds to the use character management table and stores it.

  In step S604, the control unit 101 determines whether the registration of the use character is completed. The completion of the registration of the use character is determined based on the detection of the player performing an operation input relating to the end of registration and the completion of the registration of the upper limit number (five characters) of use characters. You may If the control unit 101 determines that the registration of the use character is completed, the process proceeds to step S605. If the control unit 101 determines that the registration is not completed yet, the process returns to step S603. Here, when the registration is ended, if the number of registered use characters does not reach the specified number, a character lent to the current match game is selected by lottery processing or the like, and the information of the character is used characters By adding to the management table, processing may be performed so that the number of used characters becomes a specified number. At this time, information of one record managed for one lent used character in the used character management table is, for example, the information of the other character in a mode in which the control unit 101 performs action control of the character without using the player operation. Similarly, it may be configured to exclude the detection information 1116 from the use card information. Also, for example, in the aspect in which the second display unit 130 is a display device configured to be able to detect a touch operation, and in a mode in which (a virtual game card) corresponding to a used character to be lent is movably presented by a touch operation, use It may have the same configuration as the card information.

  In step S605, the control unit 101 starts game processing relating to a battle game in which the registered use character and the opponent character appear. More specifically, the control unit 101 refers to the used character management table and the other character management table, and starts game processing to control the progress based on the progress parameter 1115 of each character. Hereinafter, in the game processing of the present embodiment, in the game processing, the action generation based on the character is controlled, and the progress for determining the outcome of the game is controlled, and processing for mainly providing play elements of the competition game (S607 to S611) The process (S606) for performing display update control of the standby display is performed in parallel. The parallel processing may be basically performed for each game screen of one frame.

  In step S606, the control unit 101 executes standby display update processing to determine information necessary for updating the standby display.

<Wait display update process>
Here, the standby display update processing performed in S606 of the provision processing will be described in detail using the flowchart of FIG. 7.

  In step S701, the control unit 101 determines whether there is a character for which the movement start position (and movement speed) of the character icon in the standby display has not been determined after movement operation or action generation of the game card. Do. The character targeted for this step is not limited to the used character, and may include the other character. If the control unit 101 determines that there is a character for which the movement start position of the character icon has not been determined, the process advances to step S702; otherwise, the process advances to step S703.

  In step S702, the control unit 101 executes determination processing for determining the movement start position and movement speed of the character icon for the character whose movement start position of the character icon is undetermined.

(Decision processing)
Here, the determination process performed in S702 of the standby display update process will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the following, for simplicity, the processing in the case where the target character is the used character is mainly described, but the target character is the other character, and the arrangement on the game field is determined without using the associated game card. Similarly, in the case of the processing in the above case, the movement start position and the movement speed can be determined.

  In step S801, the control unit 101 selects one of the characters whose movement start position of the character icon has not been determined, as a target character for position determination.

  In step S802, the control unit 101 determines whether the placement position of the game card associated with the target character is the recovery field 304. If the control unit 101 determines that the placement position of the game card relating to the target character is the recovery field 304, the process proceeds to step S803. If the control unit 101 determines that the game field is not the recovery field 304, the process proceeds to step S804.

  In step S803, the control unit 101 sets the movement start position of the character icon of the target character as an initial position, determines the movement speed as 0 (stop), and shifts the processing to step S809.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S802 that the placement position of the game card relating to the target character is not the recovery field 304, the control unit 101 determines the movement start position for the target character is the first in this game play in S804. Determine if it is or not. If the control unit 101 determines that the movement start position of the target character is determined to be the first time, the process proceeds to step S805. If it is determined that the movement start position is not the first time, the process proceeds to step S808.

  In step S805, the control unit 101 refers to the used character management table or the used character management table to determine the provisional movement start position of the character icon of the object character based on the performance value (advancing parameter 1115) of the object character. . The provisional movement start position determined here may be based on, for example, some parameters indicating the superiority in the game (the degree to which the progress is made advantageous), which is used to control the progress of the game. As described above, it is determined based on the degree of influence (the amount of damage given) to the game progress when a small magic unique to the character occurs, and the time required for the predetermined small magic about the small magic unique to the character to occur. It may be

  In step S806, the control unit 101 corrects the movement start position of the corresponding character icon provisionally determined in step S805, in accordance with the placement position of the game card associated with the target character. In the providing process of the present embodiment, when the game card relating to the target character is placed on the large magic field 303, the control unit 101 performs correction so as to move the movement start position away from the target position, and relates to the target character. If the game card is placed on the small magic field 302, no correction is made.

  In step S807, the control unit 101 determines the moving speed of the character icon of the target character, and the process proceeds to step S809. If the distance between the movement start position and the target position for the first time of all the characters is determined in proportion to the time required for the occurrence of an action, a constant movement speed is assigned regardless of the characters. If it is determined according to the performance value other than the time required for occurrence of the action, in the waiting time (time required for the occurrence of the action) determined for the target character for the offensive action expected to occur It may be derived based on.

  If it is determined in S802 that the movement start position of the target character is not determined for the first time, the control unit 101 determines the movement start position of the character icon of the target character as an initial position in S808. Further, the control unit 101 determines the moving speed of the corresponding character icon based on the placement position of the game card relating to the target character, and shifts the processing to S809. Specifically, the control unit 101 takes an amount of time until occurrence of an action, which is determined for the type of attack action (small magic or great magic) determined based on the placement position of the game card, and the character icon is at the initial position. The movement speed is determined so as to move the distance on the route from the point to the target position.

  In step S809, the control unit 101 determines whether a character whose movement start position of the character icon has not been determined still exists. If the control unit 101 determines that there is still a character whose movement start position of the character icon has not been determined, the process returns to S801, and if it is determined that there is no character, the present determination process is completed.

  As described above, after the movement start position and movement speed of the character icon are determined in the determination process, the control unit 101 shifts the process to S703 of the standby display update process.

  In step S703, the control unit 101 determines whether there is another character (waiting for action occurrence) which is incapacitated by the occurrence of an attack action of any character. If the control unit 101 determines that there is another character incapable of action, the process proceeds to step S704, and if it is determined that no other character exists, the process proceeds to step S705.

  In step S704, the control unit 101 determines that the moving speed of the character icon is 0 for the character incapable of acting, and associates information indicating that the character has become incapable of acting on the character.

  In step S705, the control unit 101 determines whether there is a character for which the condition for canceling the inoperable state is satisfied because the corresponding game card is placed on the recovery field 304. If the control unit 101 determines that there is a character for which the condition for canceling the inoperable state is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S706. If it is determined that the character does not exist, the process proceeds to step S707.

  In step S706, the control unit 101 associates information indicating that action is possible with the character whose inaction state has been eliminated.

  In step S707, the control unit 101 derives the position on the path of the character icon after the display update of the standby display based on the moving speed for the character whose movement control of the character icon has already been started. That is, the control unit 101 determines the position of the character icon that has already started the movement control to be a position closer to the target position according to the movement speed so as to indicate the change of the waiting time according to the time lapse.

  In step S708, when the movement is reflected (when the character icon is moved to the position derived in step S612), the control unit 101 determines whether there is a character whose character icon reaches the target position. If the control unit 101 determines that there is a character whose character icon reaches the target position, the process advances to step S709; otherwise, the process advances to step S710.

  In S709, the control unit 101 associates information indicating that the action occurrence condition is satisfied for the character whose corresponding character icon has reached the target position. In the battle game in the present embodiment, in order to notify the player that the action occurrence condition is satisfied through the standby display, the trigger of the action occurrence is controlled based on the movement of the character icon as in this step. However, the implementation of the present invention is not limited to this. That is, whether or not the action occurrence condition is satisfied is determined according to whether or not the time elapsed after the action scheduled to be generated is simply set exceeds the standby time predetermined for the action. It may be

  In S710, under the control of the control unit 101, the presentation control unit 107 configures a standby display parameter reflecting the processing of S701 to S709, and can be referred to in generating the game screen so as to be displayed on the first display unit 120. Store in The various types of information for standby display determined and / or changed in the processing of S701 to S709 may be stored in the memory 103, for example, in a configuration as shown in FIG. More specifically, the movement start position 1132, the movement speed 1133, the current position 1134 indicating the position on the path of the character icon, and the action are associated with the character ID 1131 of the character and the character registered in the opposing team. The incapability state flag 135 (logical type) indicating whether or not it is incapacitated state, and the action occurrence flag 136 (logical type) indicating whether the action occurrence condition is satisfied, for managing standby display and action occurrence It may be stored in the memory 103.

  On the other hand, the process of providing play elements of a battle game executed in parallel with the standby display update process is performed as follows.

  In step S607, the control unit 101 determines whether a character whose action occurrence condition is satisfied is present in at least one of the use team and the opponent team. If the control unit 101 determines that there is a character whose action occurrence condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S608. If it is determined that no character exists, the process proceeds to step S609.

  In step S608, the control unit 101 starts control for causing an attack action according to the game field in which the character is arranged, for the character (attack character) whose action occurrence condition is satisfied. Specifically, the control unit 101 specifies an attack action (small magic or great magic) to be generated for the attack character based on the arranged game field and the character ID of the character. Further, the control unit 101 selects a character to be attacked by the attack action (attacked character) from the team of the opponent (the opponent team if the attack character is a use character, and the use team if the attack character is an opponent character). Then, based on the progress parameters of the attacking character and the attacked character, the result (success or failure, damage, etc.) of the attacking action is determined. Then, based on the result, the control unit 101 configures a rendering parameter of the offensive action to be generated, and performs control related to the rendering start. The effect parameters configured here may be referred to in the drawing of the game screen while the effect moving image relating to the attack action is displayed. When there are a plurality of characters for which the action occurrence condition is satisfied, the process may include the order of occurrence of the attack action. Further, for the character for which the presentation start of the offensive action has been determined, information indicating that the action occurrence condition is not satisfied may be associated with the character.

  In step S609, the control unit 101 performs field arrangement control on characters of the opponent team. More specifically, the control unit 101 determines that there is an opponent character who is incapacitated, incapacitated has been released, or in which the aggression has ended (the behavior occurrence condition is not satisfied). Control to place in the appropriate field. At this time, for the character to be placed in the field to perform the offensive action, which offensive action is to be performed is determined in accordance with the capture difficulty level set for the competitive game, and the field position to be placed is determined. You may In the present embodiment, for the sake of simplicity, the operation subject of the opponent team is assumed to be NPC (Non-Player Character), and the field arrangement control of the opponent character is described as being performed by the control unit 101 according to a predetermined decision algorithm. It will be readily understood that the practice of the present invention is not limited thereto.

  In step S610, the control unit 101 determines whether the game card related to the field movement has been operated. If the control unit 101 determines that the game card movement operation related to the field movement has been performed, the process proceeds to step S611. If the control unit 101 determines that the game card is not performed, the process proceeds to step S612. In this embodiment, for the sake of simplicity, the timing at which the movement operation of the associated game card is performed for the character of the used team is at the start of the competition game, at the completion of the action occurrence, and at the cancellation of the incapability state. It is assumed that the movement of the corresponding game card is not performed for the character whose action to be generated is determined.

  In step S611, the control unit 101 performs field arrangement control in accordance with the movement operation for the used character on which the operation related to the movement of the field of the associated game card has been performed.

  As described above, when the parallel display of the standby display and the play elements of the competition game is completed, the presentation control unit 107 causes the first display unit 120 to display the current display under the control of the control unit 101 in S612. Perform processing to generate a game screen of a frame. As shown in FIG. 9, in the battle game of this embodiment, when no action occurs and no effect display relating to the offensive action is performed, the characters are arranged in the game field, respectively. When the field display (FIG. 9 (a)) shown is mainly included in the game screen and effect display relating to the offensive action is performed, the action effect display (FIG. 9 (b)) not displaying the game field is mainly on the game screen. Included. On the other hand, since the standby display changes in real time according to the elapsed time of the competition game and is a display to notify the player of the situation as needed to capture the game, the display mainly constituting the game screen is a field display and It is assumed that any of the effect display is disposed in the game screen. However, the implementation of the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, in order to enhance the rendering effect, a period in which the rendering display is mainly included in the game screen, or a part determined as having high rendering effect in the period. The presentation control unit 107 may perform drawing control so as not to present a standby display for a period of time. In addition, there is a sense of tension given to the player by the game play, and it is thought that it will further enhance interest, so the progress according to the time of the character icon is presented by the standby display, as the progress according to the passage of real time It may be performed in the background even if it is not

  In step S <b> 613, the control unit 101 determines whether the ending condition of the battle game (the winning / losing determination condition) is satisfied. If the control unit 101 determines that the competition game end condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S614. If the control unit 101 determines that the completion condition is not satisfied, the process proceeds to steps S606 and S607 to perform parallel processing on the next frame. Return to (after S605).

  In step S614, the control unit 101 executes various processes related to the end of the battle game, and completes the present providing process. The processing may include, for example, presentation of a game result by the presentation control unit 107 and transition processing to a standby state.

  By doing so, according to the game device of the present embodiment, strategy planning can be facilitated, and more interesting game play can be provided. More specifically, the game device has a board configured to be capable of mounting a plurality of articles used in the game, and processing of the game is performed based on the game information related to the plurality of articles mounted on the board. The information processing apparatus presents information on whether or not the game element can act in the game with respect to a plurality of game elements which are executed while the article is placed on the board. The presentation is an index indicating each of a plurality of game elements, and relates to whether or not each of the plurality of game elements can act based on the position of the index movable to a target position along a predetermined path. Present information.

[Modification 1]
In the embodiment described above, it is described that the movement of the corresponding game card is not performed for the character whose behavior to be generated is determined, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited to this. For example, even after the action to be generated is determined, the movement operation of the game card may be permitted, and the action in the generation standby state may be changeable to another action.

  On the other hand, when a move operation of the game card after accepting such a planned behavior is accepted, if the movement start position is determined according to the newly decided planned behavior (action after change), the character A standby display may be presented which can give the player a complicated impression, such as the position and the order of the icons are frequently changed, it is easy to overlap with other character icons, and it is difficult to appropriately grasp the standby time. . Therefore, when the game card related to the change of action is moved during the period from the determination of the action to be generated to the occurrence of the action for an arbitrary character, the position of the character icon in the standby display does not change. Control may be performed to change only the moving speed. That is, for example, in a situation where generation of a small magic is scheduled for any used character, when the game card associated with the used character is moved from the small magic field 302 to the large magic field 303, The position of the corresponding character icon in the standby display is not changed, but the moving speed may be reduced so that the standby time until the occurrence of the attack action (great magic) becomes long. At this time, notification indicating that the moving speed has decreased may be performed in the standby display.

  By doing this, it is possible to allow the player to play the game with a high degree of freedom while avoiding frequent movement of the character icon in the standby display.

[Modification 2]
In the embodiment described above, information indicating that the action occurrence condition is satisfied is associated with the character whose character icon has reached the target position, and the character is arranged if the character satisfying the action occurrence condition exists. It has been described as performing control to generate an offensive action according to the field. In other words, in the embodiment described above, the control unit 101 is described as controlling the progress of the game so as to generate the offensive action that has been kept waiting for the character if the action generating condition of the character is satisfied.

  On the other hand, in order to enhance the capture of the game, the player may be able to adjust the final timing of the occurrence of the offensive action. That is, the occurrence timing of the offensive action after the required waiting time has elapsed may be configured to be determinable by the player. More specifically, it is possible to keep the use character in which the action occurrence condition is satisfied as it is in this state, and when the operation input relating to the action occurrence is made by the player, all held in the state in which the attack occurrence condition is satisfied. An attack action may be generated for the used character of.

  In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, the character icon which has reached the target position in the standby display is held in a plurality of stocks 1001 provided in the vicinity of the target position, and a character in a state capable of generating an offensive action. It should just be comprised so that it can grasp. At this time, a display 1002 indicating that an attack action is possible by performing an operation input on a character group in a state capable of generating an attack action including a character whose character icon is held in the stock 1001 is also displayed. It should be presented. Note that the display 1002 may be presented when one or more characters are in a state capable of generating an offensive action.

  In addition, in the aspect in which the occurrence timing of the offensive action can be adjusted with respect to a plurality of characters in this manner, when the operation input relating to the occurrence of the action is simultaneously performed on the character group for which the predetermined relationship is determined, It may be possible to generate special attack behavior different from normal, such as cooperative attack behavior by a character group. By doing this, it is possible to enhance the capture of the game so as to take into account the adjustment of the waiting time, the timing control of the action occurrence, the presence or absence of the linked action, and the like, providing the player with a highly entertaining play experience. be able to.

[Modification 3]
In the second modification described above, the aspect has been described in which the character whose attack occurrence condition is satisfied can be held as it is and action can be generated at a desired timing. Also in the above-described embodiment, the movement starting position of the character icon is determined to be the initial position for the next and subsequent actions. On the other hand, when attacking actions on a plurality of such characters are simultaneously generated, overlapping movement start positions of the character icon in the subsequent standby display may occur, making it difficult for the player to grasp the standby state. there is a possibility.
