Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing system that provides a game for controlling characters in a virtual space, an information processing program, an information processing apparatus, and an information processing method.

  BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, there is known a game played by a user operating an operation input unit to control characters in a virtual space (for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2014-28277 A

  A conventional game controls a character in a virtual space to avoid an obstacle or attack from an enemy character, or a game in which the character aims to move to a destination while attacking an enemy character, or is given to the character in a virtual space. It is a game that aims to achieve the goal by overcoming the challenges of being played (adventures, challenges, search, combat, etc.).

  An object of the present invention is to provide a novel game which is performed by controlling characters in a virtual space. In the following, the character controlled by the user's operation by the user is referred to as the "own character".

  An information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes operation input receiving means for receiving a user's operation input, and information processing means for performing information processing based on the operation input received by the operation input receiving means. The information processing means controls the own character in the virtual space based on the operation input to draw a corresponding color of the own character in the virtual space, a corresponding color of the own character, and Has a configuration including battle determination means for performing battle determination based on the drawing state of corresponding colors of different enemy characters in the virtual space and the drawing state of corresponding colors of the own character in the virtual space ing. With this configuration, in the virtual space, by controlling the own character, the virtual space is drawn in the corresponding color of the own character, and the battle determination is performed based on the drawing state and the drawing state of the corresponding color of the enemy character.

  The game progress means may cause the self character in the virtual space to perform a drawing operation based on the operation input, and may draw the corresponding color of the self character in a drawing area of the virtual space according to the drawing operation. . With this configuration, the corresponding color can be drawn in the drawing area according to the drawing operation of the own character.

  The game progress means moves the own character in the virtual space based on the operation input, and draws the corresponding color of the own character in a drawing area according to the position of the own character in the virtual space. Good. With this configuration, the corresponding color can be drawn in the drawing area according to the position of the self character in the virtual space.

  The game progress means may draw the corresponding color of the own character in the virtual space based on the operation input of one or more fellow users. This configuration enables cooperative play with other users.

  The game progress means may draw the corresponding color of the enemy character in the virtual space based on the operation input of one or more opponent users. With this configuration, it is possible to play battle with other users.

  The battle determination means may perform the battle determination by comparing the drawing area of the corresponding color of the own character with the drawing area of the corresponding color of the enemy character. With this configuration, it is possible to determine the outcome of the drawing area. In addition, when the play time reaches a predetermined time, the drawing area may be compared and the match determination may be made.

  The above-mentioned information processing system may further include a communication means, and the game progress means, based on the operation input received by the operation input receiving means, sets the corresponding color of the own character in the virtual space. The own character drawing event data indicating the contents of the drawing event for drawing may be generated, and the communication means transmits the own character drawing event data to the information processing system of the other user, and the operation input of the other user Enemy character drawing event data indicating contents of a drawing event for drawing the corresponding color of the enemy character generated on the basis of the virtual space may be received, and the game progress means may include the own character drawing event data And based on the enemy character drawing event data, the corresponding color of the The corresponding color of the enemy character may be drawn in the virtual space. This configuration realizes a communication type competition game with another user (opposite user). Since the drawing data for drawing the corresponding color in the virtual space has a relatively large capacity, it is not realistic to share the drawing state by frequently transmitting and receiving the drawing data in the communication type competition game. On the other hand, according to the above configuration, instead of drawing data having a relatively large capacity, drawing event data indicating contents of a drawing event having a relatively small capacity is transmitted and received. The drawing state can be shared in the information processing system of a plurality of users without transmitting and receiving data.

  The own character drawing event data and the enemy character drawing event data may include information on the position and color of the virtual space for drawing the corresponding color. With this configuration, the capacities of the own character drawing event data and the enemy character drawing event data can be reduced. When the corresponding color of each character is known, the information of the character or the team to which the character belongs is the information of the color.

  The own character drawing event data and the enemy character drawing event data may include information indicating a time of an event, and the game progress means may correspond to the corresponding color of the own character and the corresponding color of the enemy character in the virtual space. In the case where the drawing and the drawing overlap with each other, the drawing may be performed based on the information of the time. With this configuration, even if the reception of the enemy character drawing event data is delayed due to the transmission delay, it is possible to accurately grasp the anteroposterior relationship with the own character drawing event data. The same applies to the information processing system of the other user, that is, even if reception of the own character drawing event data is delayed in the information processing system of the other user, the anteroposterior relationship with the enemy character drawing event data is accurate. It matches with the information processing system of the user of the context and its own character.

  The communication means may communicate via the Internet. According to this configuration, it is possible to perform battle play or cooperative play with other users via the Internet.

  The game progress means may control the own character in the virtual space based on the operation input to attack the enemy character. With this configuration, it is possible to realize a battle-type game involving an attack.

  The game progress means may draw the corresponding color of the own character in the virtual space when the attack on the enemy character of the own character is successful. With this configuration, it is possible to widen the drawing range of the corresponding color of the player character by attacking the enemy character.

  The game progress means may draw the corresponding color of the own character in an area around the enemy character in the virtual space when the attack of the own character on the enemy character is successful. According to this configuration, by the attack of the enemy character, the periphery of the enemy character can be set to the corresponding color of the own character.

  The game progress means may display a drawing result of the corresponding color of the own character and the corresponding color of the enemy character on the whole of the virtual space based on the operation input. According to this configuration, the user can check the corresponding color of the player character and the drawing result of the corresponding color of the enemy character.

  The virtual space may be a three-dimensional space. This configuration can realize a drawing game in a three-dimensional space.

  The game progress means may draw the corresponding color on the ground in the three-dimensional space.

  Hereinafter, an information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The embodiment described below shows an example in the case of practicing the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the specific configuration described below. In the implementation of the present invention, a specific configuration according to the embodiment may be adopted as appropriate.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an information processing system according to the embodiment of this invention. The information processing system 100 according to the present embodiment draws a virtual space with the corresponding color of the own character by controlling the own character in the virtual space, and based on the drawing state and the drawing state of the corresponding color of the enemy character. Provide a game for making a match determination. The information processing system 100 includes a controller 11 as an operation input unit, an information processing unit 12 as an information processing unit, a transmission / reception unit 13 as a communication unit, and a display unit 14 for displaying an image as an output unit. . The output means may further include a speaker for outputting sound and a vibrator for outputting power by vibrating.

  Although FIG. 1 shows an example in which the information processing system 100 including the controller 11, the information processing unit 12, the transmission / reception unit 13 and the display unit 14 is configured as an integral device, these are distributed to a plurality of devices. The information may be transmitted or received by wire or wirelessly between each other as needed. For example, the information processing system 100 may be a portable game device including all of the controller 11, the information processing unit 12, the transmission / reception unit 13 and the display unit 14, and the information processing unit 12 and the transmission / reception unit 13 are integrated. It may be composed of a game apparatus body, a controller 11 for communicating with the game apparatus body by short distance wireless communication, and a display unit 14 for receiving and outputting display data from the game apparatus body via a cable. Further, the information processing apparatus 12 may be present on the network.

  The information processing unit 12 causes the game to proceed based on the operation input input to the controller 11 and the data from the information processing system 100 of the other user or fellow user received by the transmission / reception unit 13; A match determination unit 122 that makes a match determination based on the result of the game by the unit 121, a stencil buffer 123, and a depth buffer 124 are provided.

  The game progress unit 121 and the match determination unit 122 of the information processing unit 12 have a general-purpose processor including a central processing unit (CPU) and a graphics processing unit (GPU) as a game program as an information processing program according to the embodiment of this invention. It is realized by executing. The game program is provided by a portable medium, and the information processing unit 12 reads out the game program from the portable medium and executes the game program, whereby the game progress unit 121 and the match determination unit 122 are realized. Alternatively, the game progress unit 121 and the match determination unit 122 may be realized by the information processing unit 12 installing and executing the game program, which is received via the transmission / reception unit 13.

  The transmission / reception unit 13 transmits various data to another information processing system 100 via a communication network such as the Internet, and receives data transmitted from the other information processing system 100 via the communication network. In the present embodiment, in particular, drawing event data to be described later is transmitted and received by the transmitting and receiving unit 13 via the communication network. The transmission and reception unit 13 may include an interface for wired communication, and may include a communication module for wireless communication. The display unit 14 outputs graphic data generated by the GPU of the information processing unit 12.

  The game progressed by the game progress unit 121 and the match determination performed by the match determination unit 122 will be described. In the game of the present embodiment, different colors are associated with the own character and the enemy character. The color associated with each character is called the corresponding color. In the game, the player character is manipulated in the three-dimensional virtual space to paint the ground with the color corresponding to the character, and the enemy character is also painted with the color corresponding to the enemy character on the ground.

  The own character may have one or more fellow characters operated by another user (a fellow user). In this case, the player's own character and the fellow character constitute the own team, and the corresponding color of the own character and the corresponding color of the fellow character are the same. This enables cooperative play by a plurality of users. In addition, the enemy character may have a friend character, and in this case, the enemy team is constituted by those characters, and the corresponding colors of the characters belonging to the enemy team are the same.

  Furthermore, the character may be divided into three or more teams, in which case different corresponding colors are set for each team, characters belonging to the same team as the own character become companion characters, and the other teams are enemy teams The character belonging to the enemy team becomes the enemy character. In the present embodiment, an example will be described in which an own team consisting of an own character and a plurality of fellow characters and an enemy team consisting of a plurality of enemy characters play a match. In the following, the corresponding color of the own team is also referred to as "own color", and the corresponding color of the enemy team is also referred to as "enemy color".

  In the enemy character, the game progress unit 121 may operate according to the game program based on the operation of the own character and its fellow characters and the game program, or may operate according to the operation input of another user. When the enemy character operates based on the operation input of another user, battle play with the other user is realized. In the present embodiment, an example in which another user operates an enemy character will be described.

  Also for the fellow characters, the game progression unit 121 may operate according to the game program based on the operation of the own character and the enemy character and the game program, or may operate according to the operation input of another user. When the fellow character operates based on another user's operation input, cooperative play with the other user is realized.

  Each character including the own character, the companion character, and the enemy character can move in the common three-dimensional virtual space. Each character can also change its orientation in virtual space. Furthermore, each character has its own ink, and can paint the ground around its own position in the virtual space with its own ink. In the present embodiment, when focusing on the game developed in the three-dimensional virtual space, that the corresponding color of each character is colored on the ground of the virtual space during the game, “ink of corresponding color (ink of And the like, and when focusing on the information processing in the information processing unit 12, the expression such as “draw the corresponding color on the ground” is made.

  The user operates the own character to generate a drawing event and can paint the ground of the virtual space. Specifically, an area according to the position and orientation of the own character in the virtual space and the type of drawing event is painted in the corresponding color. As the types of drawing events, there are "fire of ink gun", "application by roller", and "attack on enemy character". The type of drawing event corresponds to the shape of the area to be drawn.

  In "Ink gun firing", ink is applied to the ink landing area when ink is fired in the direction in which the player character is pointing from the position of the player character. There may be a plurality of types of firing methods for firing the ink gun, the firing direction may be adjustable not only to the left and right but also up and down, and the firing intensity may be adjustable. FIG. 2 is a screen example of a scene in which the player character is painting the ground by firing an ink gun. In "application by roller", the ground character is coated with the width of the roller in the movement direction as the character moves in the virtual space. The rollers may have multiple widths.

  "Attack against enemy character" refers to firing an ink gun toward the enemy character, and if the fired ink hits the enemy character, the attack is successful. If the attack is successful, the attacked enemy character scatters the ink of the corresponding color of the attacked character around it. As a result, the ground around the attacked enemy character is painted in the corresponding color of the attacked character. As described above, the drawing range of the own color can be expanded also by attacking the enemy character.

  FIGS. 3A and 3B are screen examples of a scene in which the player character successfully attacks the enemy character and the periphery of the enemy character is painted in his own color. Specifically, FIG. 3 (a) is an example of a screen of a scene that is about to attack an enemy character, and FIG. 3 (b) is a screen where the attack on the enemy character is successful and the periphery of the enemy character is attacked. It is an example of a screen of the scene painted in the corresponding color of a character.

  The drawing event for "fire ink gun" is the type of drawing event (fire ink), character position, firing direction (left / right or left / right up / down), ink gun type (if there is more than one), (adjustable) If it is defined by intensity, and the color of the ink (the corresponding color of the character). In addition, the drawing event of “application by roller” indicates the type of drawing event (application by roller), the position of the character, the moving direction, the width of the roller (if there are multiple), and the color of ink (corresponding color of the character) Defined by). Further, the drawing event of "attack on enemy character" is defined by the type of drawing event (attack on enemy character), the position of the enemy character, and the color of ink (corresponding color of the character who made the attack).

  As each character moves in the virtual space, it can assimilate into ink and disappear in the area painted with the ink of the corresponding color of the own team according to the user's operation. The character can move at high speed in the virtual space in the state of being assimilated into ink and disappearing. When the self character disappears, the self character is not displayed on the screen of the user operating the enemy character. FIG. 4 is a screen example of a scene in which the character assimilates to the ink applied to the ground, and specifically, FIG. 4 (a) is a screen example of the scene before assimilation. It is an example of a screen of the scene after assimilation. Also, the movement speed of the self-character becomes slower in the area painted in the corresponding color of the enemy team. As described above, the game progression unit 121 performs movement control of the character in response to the input operation from the controller 11 in accordance with the drawing state of the position where the player character is present. That is, the game progression unit 121 moves the character at a speed according to the drawing state of the position where the player character is present.

  Further, when a predetermined operation is performed by the user during the game, the game progress unit 121 displays the drawing state of the corresponding color of each team in the entire virtual space at that time. Specifically, the game progress unit 121 indicates the corresponding color of each team on the screen over the virtual space. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of an overhead screen. At the same time as this overhead screen, the size of the drawing range of each team may be represented by a graph or numerical value.

  In virtual space, the ground once painted with the corresponding color of one team can be repainted by painting with the corresponding color of the other team from above. That is, even if the ground of the virtual space is drawn in the last painted color and it is an area painted in an enemy color, the area becomes a self color by painting it from the top, and vice versa It is similar.

  In the game progress unit 121, drawing (coloring) with the corresponding color in the virtual space is performed by drawing data indicating which team (corresponding team) is drawing in which portion (pixel) of the virtual space. The game progress unit 121 writes the color of the ink according to the drawing data to the texture having a size covering the entire virtual space, and projects the color on the virtual space to perform drawing in the virtual space. Specifically, when writing the color of ink to the texture, the game progression unit 121 writes a code representing a team as drawing data in the stencil buffer 123, and when drawing for a color corresponding to a team, An instruction to draw the corresponding color of the team is executed through the GPU only when information corresponding to the code representing the team is written in the stencil buffer 123. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example in which the ground of the virtual space is drawn. The state of drawing is represented by a texture of 3200 × 3200 pixels.

  When playing battle games or cooperative games by communicating with other users who operate enemy characters and fellow characters, if drawing data is frequently transmitted and received, the capacity of the drawing data is relatively large, so all of them are always transmitted and received. However, it is difficult to share the drawing state with other users.

  Therefore, in order to share the drawing state when a plurality of users play the game by communication, each information processing system 100 processes the information processing of another user from the transmitting and receiving unit 13 according to the occurrence of the drawing event during the game. Instead of drawing data having a relatively large amount of data but generating drawing event data having a relatively small amount of data, the system 100 generates drawing event data instead of drawing data from the information processing system 100 of another user. Receive The drawing event data is data indicating the contents of a drawing event to generate drawing data, and the game progression unit 121 generates drawing data based on the drawing event data. Thus, since the communication type competition game is performed by transmitting and receiving drawing event data instead of drawing data, a plurality of users can always share the drawing state without increasing the communication load.

  The game progression unit 121 generates, based on the operation input received by the controller 11, self-character drawing event data indicating the contents of a drawing event for drawing the corresponding color of the self-character in the virtual space. The transmitting and receiving unit 13 transmits the own character drawing event data generated by the game progressing unit 121 to the information processing system 100 of the other user, and an enemy character or the like operated by the other user from the information processing system 100 of the other user Receive drawing event data of a fellow character.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example in which drawing is performed by drawing event data. In this example, the drawing event is defined by the center position, the radius, and the color, and the drawing is performed by the circular filling. In the example of FIG. 7, the area A 71 is painted orange by the drawing event data “position: (3, 4), radius: 5 m, color: orange”, “position: (6, 5), radius: 4 m, The area A 72 is painted in blue by the drawing event data of color: blue, the area A 73 is painted in blue by the drawing event of “position: (6, 3), radius: 2 m, color: blue”, “position: ( Area A74 is painted orange by the drawing event data of radius 4 and 7m, color 3m and color orange, and area by the drawing event data "position: (7, 7), radius 1m and color blue". A75 is painted blue.

  When a plurality of characters are colored (rendered) at almost the same time in a communication-type battle game or cooperative game, a transmission delay in the communication network may cause a mismatch in drawing state among a plurality of users. 8 and 9 are diagrams for explaining the inconsistencies in the drawing state. As shown in FIG. 8, immediately after a drawing event occurs in which the own character paints the area A81 in its own color, a drawing event in which the area A82 in which the enemy character partially overlaps the area A81 is painted with the corresponding color of the enemy character When a character occurs, the game progression unit 121 on the user side of the player character paints the area A81 in the player color according to the drawing event by the player character, and then receives the drawing event data of the enemy character, the region painted in the player color The overlapping area with A81 is recolored in an enemy color, and the area A82 is colored in an enemy color.

  Similarly, immediately after the drawing event in which the own character paints the area A81 in its own color, a drawing event occurs in which the area A82 in which the enemy character partially overlaps the area A81 is painted with the corresponding color of the enemy character. Also in the case of the enemy character user side, as shown in FIG. 9, according to the drawing event of painting with the corresponding color of the enemy character, the area A82 is painted with the corresponding color of the enemy character, and then the drawing event data of the own character If it arrives, the color corresponding to the own character is applied to the area A81 so as to repaint a part of the area A82 to the own color. In this case, the drawing state (that is, what color the overlapping region is) of the user side of the own character (FIG. 8) and the user side of the enemy character (FIG. 9) will be different. In fact, immediately after the drawing event in which the player character paints the area A81 in its own color, a drawing event in which the enemy character paints the area A82 with the corresponding color of the enemy character occurs, so all of them are originally The user should be in the drawing state of FIG.

  In order to avoid such a mismatch in the drawing state, the drawing event data includes, in addition to the information indicating the contents of the drawing event, information on the occurrence time of the drawing event. The information indicating the content of the drawing event may be, for example, information for defining the drawing event described above. The game progress unit 121 paints the corresponding area of the virtual space according to the drawing event data generated by itself and the drawing event data of the enemy character acquired from the outside, and at this time, the information of the generation time of the drawing event corresponds to the texture of the virtual space. The information is recorded in the 3200 × 3200 depth buffer 124 so that the information of the drawing event that occurred later is left. As a result, even if the order of generation of drawing events and the order of processing of drawing in the virtual space according to the drawing events in the game proceeding unit 121 go back and forth due to the delay caused by communication, the final drawing state is The information processing system 100 of any user is the same.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining an example of drawing a corresponding color in a virtual space using time information. FIG. 10 shows the case where the drawing event for painting the area A101 in orange occurs earlier than the drawing event for painting the area A102 partially overlapping the area A101 in blue. FIGS. 10A and 10B show the virtual space drawn on the left side, and the depth values stored in the depth buffer 124 on the right side. In this example, the game progression unit 121 first processes a drawing event for painting the area A101 in orange as shown in FIG. 10A, and then paints the area A102 in blue as shown in FIG. 10B. It is assumed that the drawing event is processed, and the drawing event data of the drawing event for painting the area A101 is “position: (2, 5), radius: 5 m, color: orange, time: 90”. The drawing event data is “position: (8, 5), radius: 5 m, color: blue, time: 100”.

  As shown in FIG. 10A, the game progress part 121 draws an orange color in the area A101, and stores the depth value 90 corresponding to the time 90 in the position corresponding to the area A101 in the depth buffer 124. Next, as shown in FIG. 10B, the game progress part 121 draws blue in the area A102, and stores the depth value 100 corresponding to the time 100 in the position corresponding to the area A102 in the depth buffer 124. Do. At this time, in a region where the region A 101 and the region 102 overlap, the depth value 100 is to be drawn so that the blue color at the depth value 100 is higher than the orange color at the depth value 90. Draw the blue so that it is large (the time of occurrence of the drawing event is later).

  FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining another example of drawing the corresponding color in the virtual space using time information. Similarly to the example of FIG. 10, FIG. 11 also shows a case where the drawing event of painting the area A101 in orange occurs earlier than the drawing event of painting the area A102 overlapping with the area A101 in blue. However, in this example, the game progression unit 121 first processes a drawing event for painting the area A 102 in blue as shown in FIG. 11A, and then the area A 101 in orange as shown in FIG. Handles drawing events to paint with. The contents of each drawing event data are the same as in the example of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 11A, the game progress part 121 draws blue in the area A102, and stores the depth value 90 corresponding to the time 90 in the position corresponding to the area A102 in the depth buffer 124. Next, the game progress part 121 draws the orange color in the area A101, and stores the depth value 100 corresponding to the time 100 in the position corresponding to the area A101 in the depth buffer 124. At this time, if time is not taken into consideration, overpainting is performed in the order of drawing, and an area where the area A 101 and the area 102 overlap is drawn in orange which has been subjected to drawing processing later. However, in the game progress part 121 of the present embodiment, in the overlapping area between the area 101 and the area 102, the blue of the depth value 100 is higher than the orange of the depth value 90, ie, The blue is drawn so that the final drawing will be a large depth value (at a later time of the drawing event).

  In an actual game, a numerical value obtained by adding an offset value different for each character that has generated the drawing event to the value of the occurrence time is used as the depth value. For example, if the depth value is given in integer units from the time, each character may use the minimum unit of the depth value based on the time, such as 0.1, 0.2, 0.3. Also, an offset value which is small and different for each character is given to each character. In other words, when drawing events by a plurality of characters occur at the same time, it is determined in advance which drawing event by which character is to be first. This ensures that the depth values will not be the same and the final result will be uniquely determined even if multiple drawing event data in which areas to be drawn overlap at least in part occur simultaneously in multiple characters. Ru.

  The battle determination unit 122 compares the drawing state of the own color at the end of the game with the drawing state of the enemy color to perform the battle determination. Specifically, the match determination unit 122 compares the range of the ground painted in its own color with the range of the ground painted in the enemy color, and if the range of the ground painted in its own color is wider, It is determined that the player's team wins, and if the range of the ground painted in the enemy color is wider, it is determined that the enemy team wins. That is, the competition determination unit 122 determines the outcome based on the width of the colored area. If there is more than one team, the team with the widest area painted in the corresponding color of the team is determined to be a victory. The game ends when a predetermined time has elapsed from the start.

  Specifically, as described above, since the drawing by the game progress unit 121 is performed by the code representing the team stored for each pixel in the stencil buffer 123 as drawing data, the match determination unit 122 determines the end time of the game. By counting the number of pixels in, the area of the corresponding color of each team is obtained, and these are compared.

  As described above, according to the information processing system of the present embodiment, the virtual space is drawn with the corresponding color of the own character by controlling the own character in the virtual space, and the drawing state and the corresponding color of the enemy character are A new game is provided in which a match determination is made based on the drawing state.

  In the above embodiment, the surface on which the character applies the ink is only the “ground” of the virtual space, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this. The surface on which the character applies the ink may be a wall, a ceiling, or the like of the passage in the virtual space where the character moves, or may be any object.

  Further, in the above embodiment, in order to share the drawing state when a plurality of users play a game by communication, not drawing data having a relatively large data amount but transmitting and receiving drawing event data having a relatively small data amount In addition, the drawing event data includes information on the occurrence time of the drawing event so that there is no inconsistency in the drawing state among a plurality of users, but drawing is performed together with the information on the drawing event occurrence time instead of the drawing event data Data may be sent and received. Also in this case, although the amount of data to be transmitted / received becomes large, it is possible to avoid the inconsistency of the drawing state among the plurality of users described above.
