The game implemented in the game system 1 according to the present embodiment has, as an example, a form of presenting a plurality of options to the user and advancing the game according to the options selected by the user. The game implemented in the game system 1 is not limited to a specific genre, and may be a game of any genre as long as it has the above-described form. For example, sports games such as tennis, table tennis, dodgeball, baseball, football and hockey, puzzle games, quiz games, RPG games, quiz RPGs, adventure games, shooting games, simulation games, training games, action games, etc. It may be

  Moreover, the game system 1 may be a system for performing the game of not only a specific play form but any play form. For example, a single play game by a single user, a multiplay game by a plurality of users, a battle game in which a plurality of users play a match among multiplay games, a cooperative play game in which a plurality of users cooperate, etc. May be

  In the present embodiment, as an example, the game implemented in the game system 1 is a quiz RPG. The quiz RPG includes, as an example, a battle part in which a ally character in the deck advances a battle in which the ally character in the deck fights against the enemy character one or more times using a deck formed of one or more ally characters. The battle part is provided to the user as a quest, for example, and the user can clear the quest if the ally character wins a plurality of battles constituting the quest.

  For example, an ally character may be provided as a card that is digital data, and may be called a genie, a player, etc., depending on the context of the game. A deck may be called a party, team, order, etc., depending on the context of the game.

  In the present embodiment, as an example, the ally character is provided to the user as digital data regarded as a card. Here, the form in which the card is provided to the user is not particularly limited. A card as digital data may be transmitted from the server 200 to the user terminal 100 via a communication network. Alternatively, in the server 200, the card is stored in the memory 21 in association with the user identification information of the user, and the user terminal 100 can arbitrarily read the card owned by the user from the server 200. It is also good. Alternatively, the card may be sold or provided to the user on a physical medium on which a code, a password, a barcode, a QR code (registered trademark) and the like are printed. In this case, the information printed on the physical medium is read by the user terminal 100, and the information associated with the card (for example, a friend character) can be used on the game executed by the user terminal 100.

  In the present embodiment, as an example, a quiz is performed in each of the battles included in the quest (combat part), and each battle progresses in accordance with the play result of the user with respect to the quiz. Specifically, the game system 1 determines the motion of the teammate character according to whether the user's answer to the questioned question is correct or not, and causes each teammate character to carry out a predetermined motion. As the predetermined operation, for example, an attacking operation for damaging an enemy character is assumed.

  Also, the battle may proceed on a turn basis. For example, one turn includes at least an opportunity for attack of an ally character (ie, asking a user, an answer by the user, an attack of the ally character accompanying it), and an opportunity for attacking an enemy character.

  The battle is continued until the end conditions are met. In the battle, for example, (1) the party on the deck organized by the user wins by annihilating the enemy character attacked by the ally character, and (2) the ally character attacked by the enemy character is annihilated Thus, the party is defeated, or (3) the user performs an operation (retirement right) by the user, or the like, which is a termination condition.

  The quiz RPG provided by the game system 1 according to the present embodiment may include, for example, a deck formation part in addition to the above-described battle part. The user selects an ally character to be involved in the battle from the cards on hand and incorporates it into the deck in the deck formation part.

  The game system 1 may be, for example, a system for executing a multiplay game. A quiz RPG as a multiplayer game is performed between a user terminal 100 (a client computer) operated by a user and one or more other user terminals 100 (a computer of another client) operated by one or more other users. Sharing at least a part of data related to the game. For example, a deck owned by each of a plurality of users is shared by a plurality of users. As a result, a quiz RPG that can use a plurality of decks in one quest play is realized.

  When the game system 1 is a multiplayer RPG, a deck is organized in each of the first user terminal 100, the second user terminal 100, and the third user terminal 100 ... that communicate via the server 200. Ru. Then, deck information D 1, D 2,... Representing the contents of the organized decks are shared among the user terminals 100 via the server 200.

<Hardware components of each device>
The processor 10 controls the overall operation of the user terminal 100. The processor 20 controls the overall operation of the server 200. The processors 10 and 20 include a central processing unit (CPU), a micro processing unit (MPU), and a graphics processing unit (GPU).

  The processor 10 reads a program from a storage 12 described later, and develops the program in a memory 11 described later. The processor 20 reads a program from a storage 22 described later, and develops the program in a memory 21 described later. The processor 10 and the processor 20 execute the expanded program.

  The memories 11 and 21 are main storage devices. The memories 11 and 21 are configured by storage devices such as ROM (Read Only Memory) and RAM (Random Access Memory). The memory 11 provides the processor 10 with a work area by temporarily storing programs and various data read from the storage 12 described later by the processor 10. The memory 11 also temporarily stores various data generated while the processor 10 is operating according to a program. The memory 21 provides the processor 20 with a work area by temporarily storing various programs and data read from the storage 22 described later by the processor 20. The memory 21 also temporarily stores various data generated while the processor 20 is operating according to a program.

  In the present embodiment, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by the user terminal 100. Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by cooperation of the user terminal 100 and the server 200. The game realized by the collaboration between the user terminal 100 and the server 200 may be, for example, a game executed on a browser activated in the user terminal 100. Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by cooperation of a plurality of user terminals 100. Further, various data includes data related to a game such as user information and game information, and an instruction or notification transmitted / received between the user terminal 100 and the server 200 or between a plurality of user terminals 100.

  The storages 12 and 22 are auxiliary storage devices. The storages 12 and 22 are configured by a storage device such as a flash memory or a hard disk drive (HDD). The storage 12 and the storage 22 store various data related to the game.

  The communication IF 13 controls transmission and reception of various data in the user terminal 100. The communication IF 23 controls transmission and reception of various data in the server 200. The communication IFs 13 and 23 control communication using, for example, wireless LAN (Local Area Network), wired LAN, wireless LAN, Internet communication via a mobile telephone network, short distance wireless communication, and the like.

  The input / output IF 14 is an interface for the user terminal 100 to receive input of data, and is an interface for the user terminal 100 to output data. The input / output IF 14 may input / output data via a USB (Universal Serial Bus) or the like. The input / output IF 14 may include, for example, a physical button of the user terminal 100, a camera, a microphone, or a speaker. The input / output IF 24 of the server 200 is an interface for the server 200 to receive input of data, and is an interface for the server 200 to output data. The input / output IF 24 can include, for example, an input unit that is an information input device such as a mouse or a keyboard, and a display unit that is a device that displays and outputs an image.

  The touch screen 15 of the user terminal 100 is an electronic component in which the input unit 151 and the display unit 152 are combined. The input unit 151 is, for example, a touch sensitive device, and is configured of, for example, a touch pad. The display unit 152 is configured of, for example, a liquid crystal display or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display.

  The input unit 151 detects the position at which the user's operation (physical touch operation such as touch operation, slide operation, swipe operation, and tap operation) on the input surface is input, and inputs information indicating the position. It has a function to transmit as a signal. The input unit 151 may include a touch sensing unit (not shown). The touch sensing unit may adopt any method such as a capacitance method or a resistive film method.

  Although not shown, the user terminal 100 may include one or more sensors for specifying the holding posture of the user terminal 100. This sensor may be, for example, an acceleration sensor or an angular velocity sensor. When the user terminal 100 includes a sensor, the processor 10 can specify the holding attitude of the user terminal 100 from the output of the sensor and perform processing according to the holding attitude. For example, when the user terminal 100 is held in the vertical orientation, the processor 10 may perform vertical screen display that causes the display unit 152 to display a vertically long image. On the other hand, when the user terminal 100 is held in landscape orientation, a landscape image may be displayed on the display unit to display a horizontally long image. Thus, the processor 10 may be capable of switching between vertical screen display and horizontal screen display according to the holding attitude of the user terminal 100.

  The camera 17 includes an image sensor and the like, and converts a light incident from the lens into an electric signal to generate a photographed image.

  The distance measurement sensor 18 is a sensor that measures the distance to the measurement object. The distance measuring sensor 18 includes, for example, a light source that emits pulse converted light, and a light receiving element that receives the light. The distance measuring sensor 18 measures the distance to the measurement object based on the light emission timing from the light source and the light reception timing of the reflected light generated when the light emitted from the light source is reflected on the measurement object. The distance measuring sensor 18 may have a light source that emits light having directivity.

  Here, an example in which the user terminal 100 receives a detection result in which the object 1010 in the vicinity of the user terminal 100 is detected using the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18 as an input operation of the user will be further described. The camera 17 and the distance measurement sensor 18 may be provided, for example, on the side of the housing of the user terminal 100. A distance measuring sensor 18 may be provided in the vicinity of the camera 17. For example, an infrared camera can be used as the camera 17. In this case, the camera 17 may be provided with a lighting device for emitting infrared light, a filter for blocking visible light, and the like. This makes it possible to further improve the detection accuracy of an object based on a photographed image of the camera 17 regardless of whether it is outdoors or indoors.

  The processor 10 may perform one or more of the processes shown in the following (1) to (5), for example, on the captured image of the camera 17. (1) The processor 10 performs image recognition processing on the captured image of the camera 17 to specify whether the captured image includes the user's hand. The processor 10 may use, for example, a technique such as pattern matching as an analysis technique employed in the above-described image recognition process. (2) Also, the processor 10 detects the user's gesture from the shape of the user's hand. The processor 10 specifies, for example, the number of fingers of the user (the number of extending fingers) from the shape of the user's hand detected from the captured image. The processor 10 further identifies a gesture made by the user from the number of identified fingers. For example, when the number of fingers is five, the processor 10 determines that the user has made a gesture of “par”. Further, when the number of fingers is zero (the finger is not detected), the processor 10 determines that the user has made the gesture of “Go”. In addition, when the number of fingers is two, the processor 10 determines that the user has made a gesture of “Tokiki”. (3) The processor 10 performs image recognition processing on the captured image of the camera 17 to detect whether the user's finger is in a state where only the forefinger is standing or whether the user's finger makes a flicking motion. . (4) The processor 10 selects an object 1010 (a user's hand or the like in the vicinity of the user terminal 100 based on an image recognition result of a captured image of the camera 17 and / or an output value of the distance measuring sensor 18). ) And the user terminal 100 are detected. For example, the processor 10 determines whether the user's hand is near the user terminal 100 (for example, a distance less than a predetermined value) or far (for example, the predetermined value) depending on the size of the user's hand specified from the captured image of the camera 17 It detects whether it is in the above distance). In addition, when the captured image is a moving image, the processor 10 may detect whether the user's hand is approaching or away from the user terminal 100. (5) If it is found that the distance between the user terminal 100 and the user's hand is changing while the user's hand is being detected based on the image recognition result of the captured image of the camera 17, etc., the processor 10 recognizes that the user shakes his hand in the shooting direction of the camera 17. If an object is detected or not detected by the distance measurement sensor 18 whose directivity is stronger than the shooting range of the camera 17, the processor 10 shakes the hand in the direction orthogonal to the shooting direction of the camera. recognize.

  As described above, the processor 10 determines whether the user holds the hand by image recognition on the captured image of the camera 17 (a gesture of “goo” or another gesture (eg, “par”)) To detect The processor 10 also detects how the user is moving this hand, as well as the shape of the user's hand. Also, the processor 10 detects whether the user is moving the hand closer to or away from the user terminal 100. Such an operation can correspond to, for example, an operation using a pointing device such as a mouse or a touch panel. For example, the user terminal 100 moves a pointer on the touch screen 15 in response to the movement of the user's hand, and detects the user's gesture "goo". In this case, the user terminal 100 recognizes that the user is continuing the selection operation. The continuation of the selection operation corresponds to, for example, the state in which the mouse is clicked and pressed down or the state in which the touch panel is touched after the touch-down operation is performed on the touch panel. In addition, when the user moves the hand further while the user terminal 100 detects the user's gesture "goo", such a series of gestures is an operation corresponding to the swipe operation (or drag operation). It can also be recognized. In addition, when the user terminal 100 detects a gesture that causes the user to repel a finger based on the detection result of the user's hand based on the captured image of the camera 17, the user clicks the gesture by tapping the mouse or tapping the touch panel. It may be recognized as an operation corresponding to

Each of the server 200 and the user terminal 100 may include a functional configuration necessary to function as a general computer (not shown) and a functional configuration necessary to realize known functions in the game.

  The user terminal 100 has a function as an input device for receiving an input operation of a user, and a function as an output device for outputting an image or a sound of a game. The user terminal 100 functions as a control unit 110 and a storage unit 120 by cooperation of the processor 10, the memory 11, the storage 12, the communication IF 13, the input / output IF 14 and the like.

  The server 200 has a function of communicating with each user terminal 100 to support the user terminal 100 to advance the game. When the game is a multiplayer game, the server 200 may have a function of communicating with each user terminal 100 participating in the game to mediate the exchange between the user terminals 100. The server 200 functions as a control unit 210 and a storage unit 220 by cooperation of the processor 20, the memory 21, the storage 22, the communication IF 23, the input / output IF 24, and the like.

  The storage unit 120 and the storage unit 220 store a game program 131, game information 132 and user information 133. The game program 131 is a game program executed by the user terminal 100 and the server 200. The game information 132 is data to be referred to when the control unit 110 and the control unit 210 execute the game program 131. The user information 133 is data related to the account of the user. In the storage unit 220, the game information 132 and the user information 133 are stored for each user terminal 100.

(Functional Configuration of Server 200)
The control unit 210 centrally controls the server 200 by executing the game program 131 stored in the storage unit 220. For example, the control unit 210 transmits various data, programs, and the like to the user terminal 100. The control unit 210 receives part or all of the game information or the user information from the user terminal 100. When the game is a multiplay game, the control unit 210 may receive a request for multiplay synchronization from the user terminal 100 and transmit data for synchronization to the user terminal 100.

  The control unit 210 functions as a progress supporting unit 211 and a sharing support unit 212 according to the description of the game program 131. The control unit 210 can also function as another functional block (not shown) in order to support the progress of the game on the user terminal 100, depending on the nature of the game to be executed.

  The progress support unit 211 communicates with the user terminal 100, and supports the user terminal 100 to progress various game parts included in the quiz RPG. For example, support for advancing a quest as a battle part.

  In particular, when the user terminal 100 advances each battle in the quest, the progress support unit 211 provides the user terminal 100 with information necessary to conduct a quiz in the battle.

  The sharing support unit 212 communicates with a plurality of user terminals 100, and supports a plurality of users sharing the decks of the respective user terminals 100 with each other. The deck information of the deck organized by each user is stored in the storage unit 220 as game information 132 for each user. When the sharing support unit 212 receives a request from the user terminal 100 of the user, the sharing support unit 212 supplies the deck information of the other user to the user terminal 100. Thereby, the user of the user terminal 100 can play a quest using the deck of the other user based on the supplied deck information.

  In the present embodiment, the sharing support unit 212 may randomly determine which user's deck information is to be supplied. Further, the sharing support unit 212 may set the deck information of the user who has registered as a friend as a supply target, or may set the deck information owned by the user of the online user terminal 100 as a supply target.

The control unit 110 centrally controls the user terminal 100 by executing the game program 131 stored in the storage unit 120. For example, the control unit 110 advances the game in accordance with the game program 131 and the operation of the user. In addition, while the game is in progress, the control unit 110 communicates with the server 200 as needed to transmit and receive information.

  The control unit 110 controls the operation reception unit 111, the display control unit 112, the user interface (hereinafter referred to as UI) control unit 113, the animation generation unit 114, the deck formation unit 115, the dispatch preparation unit 116, according to the description of the game program 131. And it functions as the quest progress part 117. The control unit 110 can also function as another functional block (not shown) to advance the game according to the nature of the game to be executed.

  The operation accepting unit 111 detects and accepts an input operation of the user on the input unit 151. The operation receiving unit 111 determines which input operation has been performed from the action exerted by the user on the console via the touch screen 15 and the other input / output IF 14, and outputs the result to each element of the control unit 110. Do.

  For example, the operation receiving unit 111 receives an input operation on the input unit 151, detects coordinates of an input position of the input operation, and specifies a type of the input operation. The operation receiving unit 111 specifies, for example, a touch operation, a slide operation, a swipe operation, and a tap operation as the type of the input operation. In addition, when the input that has been continuously detected is interrupted, the operation reception unit 111 detects that the touch input has been released from the touch screen 15.

  The UI control unit 113 controls a graphical user interface (hereinafter, GUI) displayed on the display unit 152 to construct a UI. The GUI is a tool for the user to provide the user terminal 100 with an input necessary for the progress of the game, or a tool for obtaining information output from the user terminal 100 during the progress of the game. The GUI is not limited to this, for example, an icon, a button, a list, a menu screen, and the like.

  The animation generation unit 114 generates an animation indicating motion of various digital data based on the control mode of various digital data. For example, an animation may be generated that expresses how a lottery of a card of a character is being executed. Alternatively, in the battle part, an animation representing the action of an ally or enemy character may be generated.

  The display control unit 112 outputs, to the display unit 152 of the touch screen 15, a game screen on which the processing result executed by the above-described units is reflected. The display control unit 112 may display a game screen including the animation generated by the animation generation unit 114 on the display unit 152. In addition, the display control unit 112 may draw the GUI described above on the game screen in an overlapping manner.

  The deck forming unit 115 executes the deck forming part in accordance with the user's operation accepted via the operation accepting unit 111. The deck organization unit 115 has a deck organization function and processes deck information in accordance with the user's operation. The deck organization function, for example, reads out a card of a necessary character from a card database (hereinafter, DB), associates the read character with one or more frames provided in the deck information, and the frame and character Including disassociation with. The deck information indicates information of an ally character who is to participate in the battle. The deck information has a plurality of positions, and has a data structure capable of associating one teammate character with each position. The deck information is stored in the storage unit 120 as part of the game information 132.

  In addition, the deck formation unit 115 also has a database processing function of searching, extracting, and sorting characters matching all the conditions from the card DB based on various parameters of characters included in the card.

  The participant preparation unit 116 executes the participant preparation part in accordance with the user's input operation accepted via the operation accepting unit 111. The parting preparation part is a part for performing various settings for facing the quest between the completion of the formation of the deck in the deck formation part and the transition to the play of the quest.

  The parting preparation part may be, for example, a part for allowing the user to select a quest to be played when there are multiple types of quests. In addition, the participant preparation part may be a part for causing the above-mentioned user to select another user character as a helper for participating in the quest.

  In this embodiment, the user can summon a character as a helper to a battle part in a quest from the deck of another user who has made a friend registration. The user can operate the summoned assistant character in the same manner as an ally character incorporated in his or her deck, and participate in the battle.

  The quest advancing unit 117 advances the quest based on the deck formed by the deck forming unit 115. That is, each battle in the quest is progressed while executing the quiz. In this embodiment, the user can clear one quest if predetermined requirements are satisfied in one or more battles prepared in advance in the quest. In the present embodiment, when the user clears the quest, the quest progression unit 117 gives the user a reward according to the quest. The user will play the quest aiming to clear. In the present embodiment, as an example, the quest progression unit 117 may determine that the user has cleared the quest by the teammate character winning the enemy character in all the battles included in the quest. Alternatively, the quest progressing unit 117 determines that the user has cleared the quest by catching an enemy attack in one or more battles included in the quest and avoiding annihilation of the ally character for a predetermined turn. It is also good.

  In addition, the quest progression unit 117 controls the UI control unit 113, the animation generation unit 114, and the display control unit 112 to provide the user with the above-described UI necessary for the user to play the quiz RPG. The quest progression unit 117 causes the UI control unit 113 or the animation generation unit 114 to generate a game screen including a GUI. The quest progression unit 117 causes the display control unit 112 to display the generated game screen on the display unit 152. This implements a UI for the user to play the quiz RPG.

  Therefore, the game screen, which will be described in detail later with reference to the drawings, is configured by a GUI generated by the UI control unit 113, an animation generated by the animation generation unit 114, or a combination thereof. The game screen generated by the UI control unit 113 or the animation generation unit 114 is displayed by the display control unit 112 on the display unit 152 of the user terminal 100. The display control unit 112, the UI control unit 113, and the animation generation unit 114 execute processing for displaying the game screen on the display unit 152 under the control of the quest progression unit 117. Therefore, the description that “the quest progression unit 117 displays or presents the game screen on the display unit 152” indicates that “the quest progression unit 117 controls the UI control unit 113 or the animation generation unit 114 to display the GUI. Alternatively, it means that “animation is generated and the display control unit 112 is controlled to display the generated GUI or the game screen including the animation on the display unit 152”.

  In this embodiment, a plurality of types of quests are provided according to the degree of difficulty and the attribute of the enemy character appearing in the battle, and the user can select a quest to be challenged from a plurality of quests. The quest progression unit 117 loads the quest selected by the user from the progression support unit 211 of the server 200 and causes the user terminal 100 to proceed.

  In the present embodiment, the quest progression unit 117 has a function of executing the following steps to improve the interest of the game based on the game program. Specifically, the quest progression unit 117 performs step (S2) of the user to selectably present a plurality of options associated with each point, and proceeds with the game based on the options selected by the user. (S7, S8) and, when the progress of the game based on the selected option satisfies a predetermined requirement, a step (S111, S126) of giving the user a point associated with the option (S111, S126), When the point satisfies a predetermined condition (YES in S113 and S132), the steps (S114 and S133) of activating the first effect that the game progress is advantageous are executed.

  In the step of presenting the option, as an example, the quest progress unit 117 presents the question panel as an option. The question panel is a GUI for the user to call up a problem. The question panel has one question that the user solves. In addition, points are associated. In the present embodiment, the quest progression unit 117 may display the question panel together with the category to which the problem associated with the question panel belongs.

  In the step of advancing the game, as an example, the quest progress unit 117 presents the user the problem linked to the question panel selected by the user to the user, and (2) the user responds to the problem The answer is accepted through the operation accepting unit 111, (3) it is determined whether the answer is correct or not, and (4) the game is advanced according to the determination result.

  It is assumed that the user answers the presented question correctly if the progress of the game satisfies the predetermined requirements. In the step of giving points to the user, as an example, when the user answers the question correctly, the quest progression unit 117 gives the user points associated with the question panels to which the question is linked.

  For example, in the step of activating the first effect, the quest progression unit 117 may activate the first effect with a higher effect as the total number of points increases. For example, in the step of activating the first effect, the quest progression unit 117 may activate the first effect when the sum of points is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold. For example, in the step of activating the first effect, the quest progression unit 117 may strengthen the offensive power of the teammate character based on the sum of points as the first effect.

  According to the above configuration, in addition to advancing the game in accordance with the selected option, if the progress satisfies the predetermined requirements, it is possible to make the user acquire points according to the selected option . If the points meet a predetermined condition (e.g., reach a predetermined value), a first effect is triggered that makes the game progress advantageous. After this, the game progresses after the first effect is activated.

  In this way, while the user chooses options to advance the game and proceeds with playing, the user gains points in accordance with the selected options. When points are accumulated, the user can continue playing to advance the game, benefiting from the first effect that the game progress is advantageous.

  This allows the user to choose the best option from the perspective of activating the advantageous first effect while playing to choose the best option in order to advance the game in an advantageous manner (effectively save points). You will be able to adopt a strategy of choosing As a result, it is possible to diversify strategies and improve the interest of the game.

  In the present embodiment, the points described above are a bonus given to the user as a reward for correct answering the question.

  The functions of the server 200 and the user terminal 100 shown in FIG. 2 are merely an example. The server 200 may have at least a part of the functions of the user terminal 100. In addition, the user terminal 100 may have at least a part of the functions of the server 200. Furthermore, another device other than the user terminal 100 and the server 200 may be used as a component of the game system 1, and the other device may execute part of the processing in the game system 1. That is, in the present embodiment, the computer that executes the game program may be any of the user terminal 100, the server 200, and other devices, or may be realized by a combination of a plurality of these devices.

  Hereinafter, the user terminal 100 that executes the quiz RPG according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail. Specifically, the function of the quest progression unit 117 of the user terminal 100 will be described. First, the basic configuration of the user terminal 100 will be described based on FIGS. 3 to 5.

<Quest flow>
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing when the quest progress unit 117 executes a quest. When the mission preparation unit 116 receives a quest selection and a dispatch instruction from the user, the quest progression unit 117 starts the quest.

  In step S1, the quest progression unit 117 may execute, for example, an encounter process. As an example, the encounter process (1) counts and displays the current progress rate when the progress rate when clearing the quest is 100%, and (2) the main character or the teammate character organized into the deck is displayed. Displaying an animation that directs that the party including the player is advancing, (3) Displaying an animation that directs that the enemy character is encountered, (4) The party has a predetermined progress rate and a predetermined enemy rate And (5) encountering a rare enemy character group randomly or with a predetermined probability.

  In step S2, when the party advances the party to the enemy character, the quest progress unit 117 shifts the display to the battle scene and starts the progress of the battle. Specifically, the quest progress unit 117 starts one turn and displays the battle screen which is the initial state of the turn.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of the battle screen displayed on the display unit 152 by the quest progression unit 117 in step S2. The battle screen 300 includes, as an example, a question display panel 301 to 304, an enemy character group 305 including one or more enemy characters, a deck 306 of allied characters, and a bonus gauge 307 (point GUI) indicating the total of points. And continuous correct answer points 308 which are GUIs indicating continuous correct answer points. Consecutive correct answer points are points acquired according to the number of questions that are correctly answered continuously without making a single mistake.

  In step S3, the quest progression unit 117 may cause the enemy character to carry out a predetermined first strike action before the action of the teammate character according to the game program.

  In step S4, the quest progress unit 117 may perform a targeting process. The targeting process is a process of determining which teammate character should attack which enemy character according to the user's instruction. For example, the user slides on the battle screen 300 to the area where the card of the enemy character of the attacking opponent is displayed, with the area where the card of the ally character is displayed as a start point. By this slide operation, the user can specify an attack subject and an attack target.

  In step S5, the quest progress unit 117 may carry out the process of activating the skill according to the instruction of the user. In the present embodiment, an ability called a skill is set for the ally character. When an ally character activates a skill, it has an advantageous effect on battle. The skills will be detailed later.

  In step S6, the quest progression unit 117 receives the selection of the questioning panel via the operation reception unit 111. For example, the user taps and selects one of the question panels 301 to 304 of the battle screen 300. Based on the tap position detected by the operation receiving unit 111, the quest progression unit 117 determines which questioning panel has been selected.

  In step S7, the quest progression unit 117 executes a quiz. Specifically, the question linked to the selected questioning panel is presented, the answer GUI is presented, and the user's answer is accepted.

  In step S8, the quest progression unit 117 causes the teammate character to perform a predetermined action such as an attack according to the execution result of the quiz. When the ally character attacks the enemy character, the ally character can damage the enemy character. The quest progression unit 117 subtracts a damage value corresponding to the amount of damage given from the strength of the enemy character.

  In step S9, the quest progression unit 117 determines whether or not the physical strengths of all the enemy characters constituting the enemy character group 305 have become zero. Then, if at least one enemy character whose strength is more than 0 remains (NO), the process proceeds to step S10.

  In step S10, the quest progression unit 117 causes the surviving character to attack the ally character.

  On the other hand, if the physical strengths of all the enemy characters have become 0 in step S9 (YES), the quest progression unit 117 proceeds to step S11 and determines that the battle has ended due to the victory of the ally characters.

  In step S12, if all the battles included in the quest have ended (YES), the quest progress unit 117 proceeds to step S13.

  In step S13, the quest progress unit 117 determines that the quest has been cleared, gives a clear reward to the user, and ends the quest.

  On the other hand, if there is a battle that has not been played yet in step S12 (NO), the quest progress unit 117 returns to step S1 and repeats the same processing for the next battle.

  On the other hand, after step S10, even if an attack from an enemy character is received in step S14, all the ally characters organized in the deck 306 have their strength not 0 (NO), the quest progress unit 117 , And return to step S2 and repeat the same processing for the next turn.

  On the other hand, if the physical strengths of all the ally characters have become 0 in step S14 (YES), the quest progression unit 117 proceeds to step S15 and determines that the battle has ended due to the defeat of the ally characters.

  In step S16, the quest progression unit 117 determines that clearing of the quest has failed, and ends the quest without giving a clear reward.

<Card DB>
FIG. 5 is a view showing an example of the data structure of the card DB. The card DB is a database for centrally managing cards owned by the user. The card DB is stored, for example, as game information 132 in the storage unit 120 of the user terminal 100. The game information 132 held by each user terminal 100 may be fed back to the server 200 and stored in the storage unit 220 of the server 200. In this case, user identification information is linked to the card DB, and managed by the server 200 for each user. Alternatively, the card DB may be stored for each user in the storage unit 220 of the server 200. In this case, the user terminal 100 requests and acquires the card DB of the user from the server 200 as necessary.

  The card DB includes items of a card ID, a card name, basic parameters, and a battle ability parameter, as an example.

  The card ID is for uniquely managing the card held by the user on the game system 1. In the present embodiment, the user can possess a plurality of cards of the same character in an overlapping manner. Therefore, when the character is the same but there are a plurality of cards, different card IDs are given to the respective cards in order to identify the respective cards. The card name indicates the name of the character corresponding to the card.

(Basic parameter)
Basic parameters refer to various parameters related to the nature of the character. The basic parameters are parameters that do not change during the progress of the battle. Basic parameters include, for example, rarity, level, cost, and attribute.

  The rarity is a grade representing the rarity value of a card (character). In general, characters with good results in the game, particularly in combat, ie, characters with high combat ability, are set to a high degree of rarity. In the present embodiment, the rarity degree is set by the alphabet of “S”, “A”, “B”, and “C” in order from the grade having high rarity value.

  The rarity is, for example, the difficulty of obtaining a card, more specifically, the probability of winning in a lottery in which the card is hit, the degree of difficulty of a quest when obtained as a clear reward for a quest, or It may be correlated with the price etc. The higher the card's rarity, the more difficult it is to obtain the card.

  The level is a parameter indicating the degree of reinforcement of the character. The higher the level, the higher the combat ability parameter referenced in the battle. In the deck formation part, by strengthening the character with a reinforcement material or the like, the character level may be raised to improve the character's ability.

  The cost is a value consumed as compensation for incorporating the character into the deck, and is set for each character. Generally, the higher the in-game value the character has, that is, the higher the battle ability, the higher the cost.

-About attribute-
An attribute is a parameter indicating which property the character falls under by property. In the present embodiment, as one example, any of three attributes of fire, lightning, and water is set to each character. The attribute may be set to the friend character or the enemy character. In addition, a plurality of attributes such as “fire + water” may be set to each character. Such characters are hereinafter referred to as multi-attribute characters.

  The attributes of the teammate character incorporated into the deck are also referred to during the battle to determine various values in the battle and to determine the behavior of the teammate character. Favorable attributes and disadvantageous attributes may be set to each other. For example, fire may be set to light, lightning to water, and water to fire. More specifically, in the battle, it is conceivable that the fire attribute character may inflict more damage than usual against the lightning attribute enemy character. Also, in the battle part, it is conceivable that allied characters of the same attribute give an advantageous interaction to the battle.

  In the present embodiment, the attribute is also set in the question panel presented during the battle. For example, the quest progression unit 117 battles on the condition that the user answers the question correctly and the ally character has at least one attribute set in the question panel to which the question is linked. The ally character is caused to carry out a predetermined action related to. That is, the quest progress unit 117 controls the progress so that only the teammate character having the same attribute as the attribute set in the question panel can participate in the attack of the turn.

  Therefore, as the questioning panel has a large number of attributes set, more ally characters can participate in the attack if they answer correctly, and the battle is more easily won.

  Here, it is preferable that the quest progress part 117 presents the question panel so that the number of attributes is set in the question panel as the difficulty of the problem linked to the question panel is higher. This makes it possible to diversify the battle strategy and to further enhance the interest of the game. For example, even if the number of ally characters that can participate in the attack decreases, the user can avoid the risk of incorrect answer and try the challenge with low difficulty, and in order to attack and participate in as many ally characters as possible. You can also try on challenging issues.

  In the present embodiment, the quest progressing unit 117 causes the teammate character who satisfies the condition for performing a predetermined action (such as an attack) concerning the battle to carry out the predetermined action for all the attributes of the teammate character. preferable. As a result, when the user answers the question correctly, the quest progression unit 117 performs a predetermined action such as an attack on the teammate character having at least one attribute set in the question panel to which the question is linked. It can be performed the number of times corresponding to the number of attributes possessed by the teammate character.

  For example, if the user correctly answers the question on the question panel of the fire attribute 1 color or the fire + lightning attribute, the quest progression unit 117 gives the ally character having the fire + water attribute an attack action of the fire attribute. One attack action of water attribute is performed once and a total of two attack actions are performed. Here, it is preferable that the quest progression unit 117 calculates the damage value after correcting the offensive power of the teammate character to 50% with regard to the aggression behavior of the water attribute not corresponding to the attribute of the question panel.

  Also, for example, if the user answers the question on the question panel of the two colors of the fire + water attribute, for example, the quest progression unit 117 similarly makes a total of two offensive actions on the friend character having the fire + water attribute. Make it happen. Here, in the quest progressing unit 117, since the attribute possessed by the teammate character and the attribute set in the question panel coincide with each other in both the fire attribute and the water attribute, the offensive power originally possessed by the teammate character is repeated twice. Calculate the damage value based on

  As described above, the multi-attribute character can obtain many opportunities to take action related to a battle such as an attack as compared with a single-attribute character having only one attribute. The user can enjoy the game by causing the owned multi-attribute character to participate in the battle in a quest that can make use of this point while making the point attractive.

(Battle ability parameter)
The combat capability parameter defines the character's performance in combat. Combat ability parameters are parameters that may change during the course of a battle. The combat ability parameters include, for example, strength, aggression, and skill.

  The physical strength is a parameter that defines the physical strength of the character, and is represented by, for example, a numerical value. The number is reduced by the attack from the enemy character in the battle, and if the strength becomes zero, the character becomes uncombatable. The physical strength is also set for the enemy character, and the attack of the ally character makes it possible to win the battle by setting the physical strength of all the enemy characters to zero.

  The attack power is a parameter that defines the power to damage the enemy character, and is represented by, for example, a numerical value. The larger the number, the stronger the damage. In the present embodiment, the aggressivity can deprive the enemy character of strength by the attack that the character normally performs and the special attack that the character performs by activating the skills described below under certain conditions (hereinafter, the special attack). Affect the In the present embodiment, a damage value indicating how much the physical strength value of the enemy character can be reduced is calculated based on the offensive power of the teammate character.

-About skills-
A skill is an ability that each of the characters uniquely has, and is an ability that can be activated based on a predetermined condition in battle. Skills provide advantageous effects to allied characters in combat. The action of the skill may be directly applied to the ally character, or the ally character may be advantageous indirectly by extending to the enemy character.

  Specific examples of the skills include, for example, a skill that causes an enemy character to be damaged by a special attack, a skill that temporarily increases the attack power of an ally character, a skill that restores the strength of an ally character, and damage received by an attack from an enemy character. And the skill to lower the defensive power of the enemy character. The conditions under which these skills can be activated may be common to all characters or may be different for each character.

  In the present embodiment, as an example, each character has two types of skills according to the activation condition. The first is quick answer skills. The quick answer skill is a skill that is triggered on the condition that the user can answer correctly quickly as an activatable condition within a predetermined time after the problem is presented. In the present embodiment, after the user answers correctly within a predetermined time, the quest progression unit 117 automatically activates the quick answer skill of each character when each character carries out an attack action based on this. Specifically, the quick answer skill includes a skill for temporarily increasing the offensive power of the attack performed in the turn, and a skill for recovering the physical strength of the teammate character.

  The item of the quick answer skill includes the contents of the quick answer skill and the effect value of the quick answer skill, as illustrated. The degree of the effect is expressed, for example, numerically. A numerical value indicating the degree of the effect of the skill, that is, an effect value, for example, “300% (damage of)” means an enemy character with a damage value calculated based on three times the attack power of the teammate character. It means to attack. As described above, if the trigger condition of the quick answer skill is common to all the characters, providing the trigger condition item for each quick answer skill may be omitted.

  The second is cumulative skills. Cumulative skills are skills that can be activated on the condition that the user has repeated correct answers over multiple turns, and the accumulated points based on the accumulated number of correct answers (hereinafter referred to as cumulative correct answer points) have reached a predetermined value. . In the present embodiment, the cumulative skill is manually activated according to the user's operation after the next turn, when the user answers correctly in a certain turn and the accumulated correct answer point reaches a predetermined value as an activation condition. Ru. Cumulative skills include the ability to change the attributes of the question panel presented on the turn and the ability to increase the number of attributes (hereinafter referred to as attribute change skills), as well as normal attacks that can be implemented by correct answers to quizzes, enemy characters There is a skill for attacking a single attack or for the whole, and a skill for presenting a hint of a correct answer to the user at the timing after a question (hereinafter referred to as correct answer support skill).

  For example, an attribute change that causes an ally character to increase the number of attributes set in the presented question panel without changing the difficulty of the problem linked to the question panel (second effect). Suppose you have the skills. In this case, after the question display panel is presented in step S2 shown in FIG. 3, the quest progress part 117 uses the above attribute change skill in the friend character before accepting selection of the question panel from the user in step S6. The step of activating the second effect (step S5) is executed.

  As shown in the figure, the item of the cumulative skill includes the content of the cumulative skill and the sub-item indicating the effect value thereof, and the sub-item indicating the activation condition of the cumulative skill. In the present embodiment, the cumulative skills may include a plurality of skills (for example, a primary skill and a secondary skill) that gradually differ in the advantage of the effect. The higher the skill is, the higher the effect value is obtained, but the activation condition is set more strictly. The first firing condition indicates the firing condition of the lower primary skill, and the second firing condition indicates the firing condition of the higher secondary skill. In the illustrated example, among the accumulated skills of the character "Fairy", the primary skill is a skill that can be activated if the condition of the accumulated correct answer number "5 questions" is satisfied, but its effect value is 300%. On the other hand, the secondary skill has a more strict answer number "7" and the activation condition is more severe, but it is a skill that can give special attack damage with a higher effect value of 400%.

  In the battle, the quest progress unit 117 satisfies the trigger condition of the cumulative skill, and upon receiving a command from the user, resets the counted cumulative correct answer point, and then activates the cumulative skill. This allows the user to play battle while selecting whether the primary skill with a lower effect value is more frequent, or whether it takes more turns to achieve higher effects with the secondary skill. . Therefore, the strategies in battle are diversified and the game is more interesting.

  While the quest is in progress, the quest progression unit 117 integrates the number of correct answers in succession without making a wrong answer over a plurality of battles and a plurality of turns, and counts continuous correct answer points based on the number of continuous correct answers. Good. The number of consecutive correct answers may be counted as it is as continuous correct answer points. Although the quest progress part 117 resets the continuous correct answer point when the user answers incorrectly, until then, the continuous correct answer point is integrated over the battle in one quest. The continuous correct answer points may affect the effect value obtained by the skill. For example, the skill may be defined such that the effect value varies stepwise depending on the number of consecutive correct answers. In the illustrated example, the quick answering skill of the character "Fairy" raises the effect value to 150% when the number of consecutive correct answers is 5 or more when the effect value is 100% when the number of consecutive correct answers is less than 5 As defined. Thus, the user is required to answer correctly within a predetermined time in order to obtain the quick answer skill and to carefully answer so as not to give a wrong answer each turn in order to obtain a higher effect. As a result, it is possible to create tension in the quiz elements in battle, and the game becomes more interesting.

  As described above, in the card DB, basic parameters and battle ability parameters are set for the characters. Specifically, one or more attributes are associated with each of the teammate characters, and abilities such as a quick answer skill and a cumulative skill are associated with each of the teammates and stored in storage unit 120. There is. The user selects a character to be incorporated into the deck 306 shown in FIG. 4 in consideration of basic parameters (especially attributes) and combat ability parameters (especially skills) set in the characters of the card in hand. In this way, strategically incorporating various characters with various characteristics into the deck after fully understanding their performances is an important key to clear the quest. Therefore, the deck organization part also contributes greatly to further enhancing the interest of the game.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a data structure of type definition data. Type definition data is information that defines the type of problem that is presented to the user. Type definition data is stored in at least one of the storage unit 120 and the storage unit 220 as part of the game program 131. The type definition data has items of “type of question”, “degree of difficulty”, “percent correct answer” and “initial setting”.

  The question type is information that defines the type of problem presented to the user. In the present embodiment, the quest progression unit 117 can, for example, present two types of problems. The first is a single answer question, and the second is a multiple answer question. Each question type will be described in detail later.

  The degree of difficulty is information defining the degree of difficulty of the problem presented to the user. In the present embodiment, the difficulty level is set for a question whose questioning type is a single answer question. In the present embodiment, as an example, the difficulty level of the problem is determined based on the correct answer rate of the problem. Specifically, the lower the correct answer rate of the problem, the higher the degree of difficulty of the problem. For example, the difficulty level is set for each question in three stages of “low”, “medium”, and “high” according to the correct answer rate.

  The correct answer rate is obtained by the server 200 aggregating the play histories of a plurality of users. For example, it is assumed that one problem is distributed to each user terminal 100 of 100 users. When the history of correct answers is fed back from the user terminals 100 of 80 users, and the history of incorrect answers is fed back from the user terminals 100 of the remaining 20 users, the server 200 makes the correct answer rate of the question 80%. Identify The server 200 can determine the difficulty of the question as “medium” based on the fact that the correct answer rate is 80%. The server 200 may change the degree of difficulty of each question according to the constantly flowing correct answer rate.

  The initial setting is information defining the number of attributes to be initially set in the question panel. In the present embodiment, the attribute is set to a question panel (hereinafter, single answer panel) to which a single answer question is linked, and a question panel (hereinafter to be referred to as a double answer panel) to which a multiple answer question is linked. Not set to In another embodiment, the attribute may be set in the multiple answer panel.

  The quest progress unit 117 refers to the type definition data described above, and determines the number of attributes to be set in the question panel according to the question type and the degree of difficulty of the question linked to the question panel.

  In the present embodiment, as the attributes, for example, three types of water, fire, and lightning are defined, and therefore, at most three attributes can be set on the question panel. The quest progress unit 117 determines the number of attributes initially set in the question panel based on the difficulty of the problem linked to the question panel. For example, the quest progress part 117 sets many attributes in the question panel as the degree of difficulty of the problem linked to the question panel is high.

  Specifically, according to the type definition data, the quest progression unit 117 sets three attributes for the question panel to which the single answer question with the high degree of difficulty is linked, and the medium degree of difficulty Two attributes are set in the question panel on which the single answer question is linked, and one attribute is set on the question panel in which the single answer question on the "low" difficulty level is linked. In addition, when the above-mentioned attribute change skill is activated, the quest progress part 117 changes the attribute of each questioning panel from the initial setting accordingly.

-About the question type-
As described above, the quest progression unit 117 can present two types of questions: single-answer questions and multiple-answer questions.

  The single answer question refers to a question in which the user is given one opportunity to input an answer for one question, and one correct / incorrect decision is made for the one answer. As the single answer question, for example, (1) one correct answer is selected from a plurality of options, 1 question 1 answer type question, (2) a correct answer is selected from a plurality of options. Select one or more questions, (3) fill in the missing characters so as to complete the string that corresponds to the correct answer, fill in the fill-in format, (4) the strings placed on the left and right are correct The problem of the line connection type that connects with lines so as to be a combination, and (5) slide the bar of the character string prepared in advance up and down, and align the character string corresponding to the correct answer in a horizontal row. There is a problem.

  A multiple answer question is a type in which a plurality of small questions are associated with one question, and the user is given the opportunity to input an answer for each of the small questions. It refers to the problem for which the determination of correctness is made. That is, the determination of whether the answer is correct or not is performed by the number of the input answers. As the multiple answer question, for example, the user is presented with a plurality of alternative small questions for selecting one correct answer from a plurality of options for one question, and the user is made to input an answer to the small question A form is assumed. For example, the quest progression unit 117 may use a GUI composed of one user-selectable image corresponding to the correct answer and one or more user-selectable images corresponding to the incorrect answer. It is presented as one answer GUI corresponding to the minor problem. Repeat this for each minor question linked to one question. Preferably, each image as an option is an image that non-verbalizes the content of the correct answer or the content of the incorrect answer. For example, in response to one question "Who is the longest?", The quest progression unit 117 puts together an image group of bars of various lengths as one small problem, and corrects from among the images of the image group A solution GUI is realized by presenting one image (the image of the longest stick) that the user thinks to be selectable by the user.

  In the present embodiment, in a multiple-answer question, a time limit is provided in advance for a period in which a small question is presented. On the other hand, there is no predetermined upper limit for the number of questions in the minor problem. In addition, the upper limit is not set on the number of minor questions that the user answers correctly within the time limit (hereinafter, the number of minor questions correct answers). Therefore, the quest progress unit 117 continues to issue the minor questions as long as the time limit allows, regardless of the number of minor questions and the number of minor questions.

(Bonus definition data)
FIG. 7 is a view showing an example of the data structure of bonus definition data. The bonus definition data is information that defines the amount of bonus to be associated with the question panel. In the present embodiment, the quest progress unit 117 sets the bonus to be given to the user according to the bonus definition data, the question type of the question linked to the question panel, or the number of attributes set in the question panel. Determined by The bonus definition data is stored in at least one of the storage unit 120 and the storage unit 220 as a part of the game program 131. The bonus definition data has a data structure in which the item “correct answer bonus” is associated with each combination of the “question type” and the “number of attributes”.

  The correct answer bonus indicates a bonus (point) to be given to the user as a reward for correct answer when the user correctly answers the question linked to the question panel. In this game, the user can successfully progress the battle during battle by selecting the question panel and answering the question correctly. In this embodiment, in addition to this, the user can separately obtain the bonus associated with the question panel of the question as a reward for the correct answer by correctly answering the question. In the present embodiment, the bonus is accumulated over a plurality of battles in one quest, and when the bonus reaches a predetermined value, the more the bonus is obtained, the more advantageous the battle is ( The first effect is brought about. Therefore, it is the key to clear the quest to gain more bonus as early as possible in the quest early to advance the second half of the battle. As described above, while the battle is progressing by the normal operation, adopting a system for acquiring an additional bonus by correctly answering the problem diversifies the strategy and further improves the interest of the game. It becomes possible.

  In the present embodiment, with regard to the single answer panel, the bonus given at the time of correct answer is predetermined according to the number of attributes set in the single answer panel. For example, the more the number of attributes set in the question panel according to the bonus definition data, the more the quest progress unit 117 gives the user more bonus to be given to the user when correctly answering the question linked to the question panel. Map to the panel. As an example, the quest progress unit 117 associates a bonus “3 points” with one questioning panel with an attribute, and associates a bonus “10 points” with three questioning panels with an attribute.

  A question panel (hereinafter referred to as a three-color panel) in which three attributes are set tends to be avoided by the user because the degree of difficulty of the problem is high. However, according to the above-described configuration, more correct answers to the three-color panel give more bonus to the user. The more bonuses you get, the better your battle can be. As described above, the higher the level of difficulty of the correctly answered question, the more bonus can be obtained, and the user can be provided with an incentive to challenge the high difficulty level problem.

  Note that no attribute is set in the multiple answer panel, and in the case of multiple answer questions, multiple correctness determinations are performed for answers that are input multiple times. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the quest progress unit 117 associates the bonus with the multiple answer panel such that the more the number of correct answers to one multiple answer question is, the more bonus is given to the user. As an example, the quest progress unit 117 associates a bonus of “5 points × number of correct answers” with the multiple answer panel in accordance with the bonus definition data.

(Panel data)
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a data structure of panel data. The panel data is information defining a question display panel presented on the battle screen 300 (FIG. 4) displayed on the display unit 152 during the battle. The panel data is stored in the storage unit 120 as part of the game information 132 while the quest is in progress.

  In the present embodiment, as an example, four question panels are presented at a time on the battle screen 300. Therefore, the panel data shown in FIG. 8 define four question panels respectively. The panel data has, for example, items of “panel name”, “question type”, “attribute”, “correct answer bonus”, and “problem ID”.

  The panel name indicates a designation for identifying each question asking panel based on the position where the question asking panel is arranged. Referring to FIG. 4, the four question panels 301 to 304 are disposed at the upper right, the upper left, the lower right, and the lower left, respectively. As an example, the questioning panel disposed in the upper right is referred to as a first panel, the questioning panel in the upper left is referred to as a second panel, the questioning panel in the lower right is referred to as a third panel, and the questioning panel in the lower left is referred to as a fourth panel. In the illustrated example, the record of the first panel has information defining the question panel 301 disposed at the upper right.

  The question type indicates the question type associated with the question panel at each position by the quest progress unit 117. The quest progress part 117 may further set the degree of difficulty when the single answer question is linked as the question type. The quest progress unit 117 may determine the question type and the degree of difficulty associated with the question panel at each position according to the instruction of the progress support unit 211 of the server 200 or according to the characteristic of the selected quest. May be Alternatively, when the appearance timing or appearance frequency of the complex correct answer panel is previously defined by the game program, the question type to be linked to the question input panel may be determined according to the definition.

  An attribute shows the attribute which the quest progress part 117 set to the questioning panel of each position. For example, the quest progress unit 117 determines the number of attributes to be set in the question panel in accordance with the above-described degree of difficulty. In the present embodiment, there are three types of attributes: water, fire, and lightning. Therefore, when the number of attributes to be set in the questioning panel is two, there are three combinations of attributes to be set, and even when the number of attributes is one, the number of attributes to be set is the number of types. There are only three ways. The quest progression unit 117 randomly determines the attribute to be set when the number of attributes to be set to the question panel is less than two.

  The correct answer bonus indicates a bonus given as a reward when the user answers the question associated with the question panel after the question panel at each position is selected. The quest progress unit 117 refers to the bonus definition data shown in FIG. 7 and associates a bonus with each question panel according to the number of attributes set in each question panel. In the illustrated example, the quest progress unit 117 associates a bonus of “5 points × number of correct answers” with the first panel of the multiple answer panel. In addition, the quest progress unit 117 associates a bonus of “five points” with the third panel, which is a single answer panel and in which two attributes are set. When the attribute change skill is activated, the quest progression unit 117 changes the attribute of each questioning panel from the initial setting accordingly. Along with this, when the number of attributes set in the question panel is changed, the quest progression unit 117 also changes the correct answer bonus so as to correspond to the number of attributes after the change. For example, when the attribute change skill is applied to the second panel and the number of attributes set in the second panel increases to two, the quest progress part 117 determines that the second panel correct answer bonus Change from "3 points" to "5 points".

  The problem ID is identification information for uniquely identifying the problem linked to the question panel. The question linked to the questioning panel at each position may be selected by the quest progress unit 117 or may be selected by the progress support unit 211 of the server 200.

  For example, the quest progress unit 117 extracts, from the problem database (hereinafter, DB) described later, a problem that matches the question type and the degree of difficulty previously determined for the question panel, as the question linked to the question panel. In the illustrated example, the quest progression unit 117 determines that the question type on the first panel is “multiple answer question (no difficulty)”. Therefore, the quest progression unit 117 extracts a multiple-answer question from the question DB, and associates the multiple-answer question question ID with the record of the first panel. In another example, the quest progression unit 117 determines that the question type on the second panel is “single answer question (low difficulty)”. Therefore, the quest progress unit 117 extracts one single-answer question having a low degree of difficulty from the question DB, and links the single-answer question question ID to the record of the second panel.

  The quest progression unit 117 may generate panel data of a question panel to be presented on the battle screen 300 as shown in FIG. 8 in accordance with an instruction from the progression support unit 211 of the server 200. Alternatively, the quest progress unit 117 may generate the panel data of the question panel randomly or in accordance with the constraints predetermined for the ongoing quest. In step S2 shown in FIG. 3, the quest progress unit 117 arranges the question display panel on the battle screen 300 shown in FIG. 4 based on the panel data with reference to the panel data generated as described above.

(Problem DB)
9 and 10 are diagrams showing an example of the data structure of the problem DB. The problem DB is a collection of problems that the quest progress unit 117 presents to the user during battle. Although only a few questions are illustrated in each figure, in reality, a huge number of problems are registered in the question DB. The problems presented to the user are randomly selected from among the problems extracted based on the conditions. Therefore, the larger the number of questions registered in the question DB, the lower the probability that the same user will be asked the same question.

  The problem DB is basically stored in the storage unit 220 of the server 200, and the problem is supplied from the progress supporting unit 211 to the quest proceeding unit 117 as necessary. For example, the question DB may be provided to the user terminal 100 at the quest start timing, or at every battle start timing, a portion of the question DB may be provided to the user terminal 100. One question may be provided from the server 200 to the user terminal 100 each time the presentation panel is presented on the user terminal 100 in battle.

-DB for single answer questions-
In the present embodiment, a question DB is constructed for each question type. FIG. 9 shows the data structure of a single answer question DB (first DB). As an example, the first DB has items of “problem ID”, “genre”, “answer format”, “problem statement”, “answer GUI”, “correct answer”, and “correct answer rate”.

  The problem ID indicates identification information for uniquely identifying the problem. The genre indicates the genre to which the problem belongs. For example, the genre "entertainment" means that the question is a question asking things about entertainment. The answer form indicates the answer form of the question. As mentioned above, there are various answer formats for single answer questions. The problem sentence indicates a sentence to be presented to the user as a problem. The problem sentences are stored, for example, as text data.

  The answer GUI indicates information necessary to construct an answer GUI for the user to input an answer to the question asked by the above-mentioned question text. The answer GUI may be stored in any data format. The quest progression unit 117 of the user terminal 100 may be any data format that can process the information stored in the item of the answer GUI and display the answer GUI on the display unit 152. For example, the quest progress part 117 refers to the item of the answer GUI in the first DB with respect to the question of the question ID “SQ001” in the form of one question and one answer GUI corresponding to the question “SQ001”. To construct. More specifically, the quest progression unit 117 selects four from the first option indicating the answer A, the second option indicating the answer B, the third option indicating the answer C, and the fourth option indicating the answer D. One button is arranged, and the solution GUI is constructed so that the user can select only one of the four buttons by touch operation.

  The correct answer indicates the correct answer to the problem. The quest progress unit 117 compares the answer input from the user via the above-mentioned answer GUI with the answer stored in the item of the correct answer, and determines whether the answer of the user is correct or not.

  The correct answer rate indicates the correct answer rate of the question. As described above, the server 200 aggregates the play history from the user terminal 100 of each user, and records which problem each user answered correctly or wrongly answered. The server 200 can obtain the correct answer rate based on the total number of questions of the problem in all the user terminals 100 in which the game is played and the total number of correct answers in which the problem is correctly answered in all the user terminals 100. . The server 200 may periodically analyze the play history and update the correct answer rate of each question. The progress supporting unit 211 or the quest progression unit 117 can extract, from the first DB, a problem to be linked to the question panel, based on the correct answer rate associated with the problem.

-DB of multiple answer questions-
FIG. 10 shows the data structure of a DB (second DB) of a multiple answer question. As an example, the second DB has items of “problem ID”, “problem sentence”, “answer GUI” and “correct answer”. The problem ID indicates identification information for uniquely identifying the problem. The problem sentence indicates a sentence to be presented to the user as a problem. The problem sentences are stored, for example, as text data.

  The answer GUI indicates information necessary to construct an answer GUI for the user to input an answer to the question asked by the above-mentioned question text. The answer GUI may be stored in any data format. In the present embodiment, the quest progression unit 117 constructs an answer GUI of the multiple response question for each of the small questions associated with the question. One solution GUI is constructed so that the user can input one solution for one small problem once. In the present embodiment, as an example, the minor question is a four-choice question, and each choice is an image that non-verbalizes the content of the answer. The quest progression unit 117 is configured so that the answer GUI is composed of four images including one correct image that matches the content asked in the above question text, and the user can select only one image. Do.

  The correct answer indicates the image of the correct answer in the small question. The quest progression unit 117 determines whether the user's answer is correct or not depending on whether the image selected by the user via the above-mentioned answer GUI matches the image stored in the item of the correct answer. The determination of matching or non-matching of an image may be performed based on identification information uniquely given to the image.

(Quest progress counter)
FIG. 11 shows the data structure of the quest progress counter. The quest progress counter is initialized at the start of the quest, and is edited and read out by the quest progress unit 117 while the quest is in progress until the quest is completed. The quest progress counter is stored in the storage unit 120 of the user terminal 100. The quest progress counter has items of “bonus gauge”, “continuous correct answer point”, “number of questions given” and “total number of correct answers” as an example.

  The bonus gauge indicates the total bonus given to the user every time the user answers a question correctly. When the quest is started, the quest progression unit 117 continues the sum of all points given to the user over a plurality of battles in the quest until the quest is completed based on a predetermined condition. Calculate and store in the bonus gauge. The bonus gauge is referred to in order for the quest progress unit 117 to determine whether or not the condition for activating the first effect is satisfied during the battle, or to calculate the effect value of the first effect.

  The continuous correct answer points indicate the total of the points given to the user based on the number of continuous correct answers which is the number of correct answers to the problem continuously by the user over a plurality of turns. In this embodiment, basically, one continuous correct answer number corresponds to one continuous correct answer point. For example, the continuous correct answer point “five questions” indicates that the user corrects five consecutive questions without making any wrong answer during five turns, except for the exception described later. The quest progress part 117 increments the continuous correct answer point by one each time the user answers the question correctly while the user does not answer incorrectly. If the user makes an incorrect answer, the quest progression unit 117 resets the continuous correct answer point to zero. The successive correct answer points are referred to in order for the quest progress section 117 to specify an effect value obtained by the skill of the ally character activated during the battle, or to determine whether the condition for activating the skill is satisfied or not. Ru.

  It should be noted that there may be cumulative skills whose consumption condition is to consume a predetermined number of consecutive correct answer points. For example, when there is a cumulative skill such as “consecutive correct answer point N consumed and damage to the enemy”, the quest progress part 117 reduces the continuous correct answer points by N when activating the skill. Alternatively, during battle, under predetermined conditions, an effect of adding consecutive correct answer points may be activated. For example, when an effect such as "If this question is correctly answered, continuous correct answer points + 2 question addition" is activated, points for two questions are added in addition to one continuous correct answer point normally given. In such a case, as an exception, it may happen that the continuous correct answer point does not match the number of continuous correct answers actually achieved by the user.

  The number of questions indicates the number of questions in the quest. In the present embodiment, one question is given for each turn of the battle. Therefore, the number of questions indicates the number of turns taken by the user for clearing the quest (hereinafter, the required number of turns). For example, when a mission such as “clear the quest within N turns” is imposed on the quest, the quest progression unit 117 can determine whether the mission has been cleared based on the number of questions.

  The total number of correct answers indicates the total number of questions that the user has been able to correctly answer the questions presented over multiple battles in the quest. The number of questions and the total number of correct answers show the correct answer rate in the quest. For example, when a mission such as “clear all the quests with all correct answers” is imposed on the quest, the quest progress part 117 determines whether the mission has been cleared or not, the number of questions and the total number of correct answers match. It can be determined by whether or not it is present.

(Skill counter)
FIG. 12 shows the data structure of the skill counter. The skill counter is initialized at the start of a quest, and is edited or read out by the quest progress unit 117 while the quest is in progress until the quest is completed. The skill counter is stored in the storage unit 120 of the user terminal 100. The skill counter has, for example, items of “character ID”, “cumulative correct answer point”, “first activation condition”, “second activation condition”, and “invious of activation”. In the present embodiment, the accumulated skills possessed for each character are different, and the activation conditions differ for each accumulated skill. Therefore, the skill counter is managed for each character incorporated into the deck.

  The character ID is identification information for uniquely identifying a character. The card ID shown in FIG. 5 may be stored.

  The accumulated correct answer point starts counting from a certain turn, and indicates the accumulated point value given to each character based on the accumulated correct answer number indicating the number of correct answers to the question regardless of whether the user is continuous or not. In the present embodiment, basically, one correct answer number is made to correspond to one cumulative correct answer point. For example, the cumulative correct answer point “5 questions” indicates that the user is accumulatively correct for 5 questions starting from a certain turn for a certain character, with the exception described later. When the user answers the question correctly, the quest progress unit 117 increments the accumulated correct answer point of each character by one. If the user makes a mistake, the current accumulated correct answer point is maintained. The cumulative correct answer point is referred to in order for the quest progress unit 117 to determine whether the firing condition of the cumulative skill of the teammate character is satisfied during the battle. When the above-described activation condition is satisfied and the accumulated skill of a certain ally character is activated, the quest progress unit 117 resets the accumulated correct answer point of the ally character to 0 questions. Then, counting of the cumulative number of correct answers is started from the next turn, and accumulation of cumulative correct answer points is resumed.

  The first firing condition indicates the firing condition of the lower primary skill among the accumulated skills of the character. The second firing condition indicates the firing condition of the higher secondary skill. If each activation condition is not satisfied, the number of remaining correct answers necessary to satisfy the activation condition may be stored together.

  The quest progression unit 117 does not integrate the accumulated correct answer points of each character beyond the second activation condition of the character. The quest progress unit 117 maintains the cumulative correct answer point corresponding to the second activation condition regardless of whether the user's answer is correct or not, after the turn in which the second activation condition is satisfied for a character, as long as the accumulated skill is not activated. .

  Whether or not to activate is information indicating whether to activate the cumulative skill for each character. In this embodiment, the accumulated correct answer point is reset to 0 at that time regardless of which of the primary skill and the secondary skill is activated. Also, if both the primary skill and secondary skill activation conditions are satisfied, the secondary skill is activated. Therefore, the user has two options: whether to activate the primary skill under the first condition of mild conditions or to satisfy the second condition of the conditions with strict conditions for one character. You will use your skills in battle.

  “Yes” indicates that the accumulated correct answer point satisfies the second activation condition, and the secondary skill can be activated. Whether it can be activated or not indicates that the cumulative correct answer point does not satisfy the first activation condition, and that both the primary and secondary skills can not be activated. The ability to activate "primary" means that although the accumulated correct answer point does not satisfy the second activation condition, the second skill can not be activated because the first activation condition is satisfied, but the primary skill can be activated Indicates that there is.

  The quest progression unit 117 presents the user with a GUI related to the skill of each character according to whether or not the skill counter can be activated.

<Processing flow>
FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing executed by the user terminal 100 based on the game program 131. With reference to FIG. 13, an embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described which enables the user to save a bonus simply by selecting an option and advancing the game. Also, with reference to FIG. 13, an embodiment of the present invention, in which the game is advantageously advanced by storing the bonus, will be specifically described. A series of processes shown in FIG. 13 correspond to steps S7 and S8 shown in FIG. First, turn progression when a single answer question is selected will be described.

  In step S101, the quest progression unit 117 determines which type of questioning panel is selected in the battle screen 300 shown in FIG. If the single answer panel (for example, any of the question panels 302 to 304) to which the single answer question is linked is selected (NO), the quest progress unit 117 proceeds to step S102. When the multiple answer panel (for example, the question panel 301) to which the multiple answer question is linked is selected (YES), the quest progress unit 117 proceeds to step S119.

  In step S102, the quest progress part 117 presents the single answer question linked to the selected question panel on the battle screen 300 with reference to the panel data shown in FIG. For example, when the question panel 302 which is the second panel is selected, the question of the single answer question “ID: SQ005” linked to the second panel is presented. The quest progression unit 117 refers to the first DB shown in FIG. 9 and causes the display unit 152 to display the question sentence associated with “ID: SQ005”.

  In step S103, the quest progress unit 117 starts measuring the elapsed time from the point of presenting the problem, and counts the remaining time limit. The measurement of the elapsed time is continued until the user inputs an answer to the above-mentioned problem or until the elapsed time expires.

  In step S104, the quest progress unit 117 refers to the first DB, constructs an answer GUI corresponding to the presented question, and presents it on the battle screen 300 together with the above-mentioned question text.

  In step S105, the quest progress unit 117 may activate the cumulative skill in some cases. For example, it is assumed that an ally character has correct answer support skill (ability) that activates an effect (third effect) of presenting information suggesting the correct answer of the presented problem to the user. In this case, after the question is presented in step S102, the quest progression unit 117 gives the teammate character a third effect according to the above-mentioned correct answer support skill before accepting an answer to the question from the user in step S106. The step of activating (step S105) is executed. The correct answer support skill may be, for example, a skill that hides one or more options other than the correct answer. In this case, the quest progress unit 117 hides at least one of the options other than the correct one among the options displayed in step S104. This allows the user to increase the probability of correctly answering the problem.

  In step S106, as long as no answer is input, the quest progression unit 117 proceeds from step S106 NO to step S107. Then, the quest progress unit 117 returns from NO in step S107 to step S104, continues presenting the answer GUI, and waits for an input from the user until the time limit period expires.

  In step S106, when the operation reception unit 111 receives an answer from the user within the time limit, the quest progress unit 117 proceeds from step S106 to YES in step S106.

  In step S108, the quest progress unit 117 determines whether the input answer is correct. For example, the quest progress unit 117 reads out the correct answer of the question given in the step S102 from the first DB shown in FIG. 9, and determines whether it is correct or not in comparison with the answer input by the user. Specifically, the quest progression unit 117 determines that the correct answer (character string “#####”) of the question “ID: SQ005” matches the character string formed by the user operating the answer GUI. If they do not match, it is judged as an incorrect answer.

  In step S109, the quest progression unit 117 may present the determination result on the battle screen 300. For example, the determination result may be a character string such as “correct” or “incorrect”.

  After step S110, the quest progression unit 117 advances the game according to whether the user's answer is correct. Specifically, if the user answers correctly, the quest progression unit 117 proceeds from step S110 YES to step S111.

  In step S111, the quest progress unit 117 updates the bonus gauge of the quest progress counter shown in FIG. Specifically, the quest progress unit 117 adds, to the bonus gauge, the bonus associated with the question panel to which the question the user answered correctly is linked. As an example, if the user answers the question on the second panel correctly, the quest progression unit 117 adds the bonus “three points” associated with the second panel to the points stored in the bonus gauge. According to the illustrated example, the quest progress unit 117 updates “15 points” to “18 points”. In addition, after updating the bonus gauge, the quest progress unit 117 updates the bonus gauge 307 shown in FIG. 4 to the updated value and causes the bonus gauge 307 to be displayed again.

  In step S112, the quest progress unit 117 updates the continuous correct answer point and the cumulative correct answer point. Specifically, the quest progress unit 117 increments the continuous correct answer point of the quest progress counter by one and increments the accumulated correct answer point of each character of the skill counter shown in FIG. 12 by one.

  In step S113, the quest progress unit 117 determines whether the bonus gauge after the update satisfies a predetermined condition. As an example, the quest progress unit 117 compares the value of the bonus gauge with a predetermined threshold and determines whether the value of the bonus gauge is equal to or greater than the threshold.

In step S114, the quest progress unit 117 activates the first effect when, for example, the value of the bonus gauge is equal to or more than the threshold, the bonus gauge satisfies a predetermined condition. For example, when the value of the bonus gauge is 100 points or more, the quest progression unit 117 activates the first effect of strengthening the attack power of the teammate character with the effect value determined based on the value of the bonus gauge. Let For example, the offensive power of the teammate character may be corrected based on the following equation.
Pa = Pb + (Pb × S ÷ 100)
Here, Pb indicates the original attack power of the ally character, Pa indicates the corrected attack power, and S indicates the value of the bonus gauge. That is, the offensive power of the teammate character doubles when the value of the bonus gauge reaches 100 points, and thereafter, the offensive power is further strengthened as the value of the bonus gauge increases. If the bonus gauge does not satisfy the predetermined condition, the step is omitted.

  In step S115, the quest progression unit 117 determines whether the elapsed time measured from step S103, that is, the time required for the user to answer is within a predetermined time.

  In step S116, the quest progression unit 117 activates the quick answer skill of the teammate character when the time taken for the answer is within the predetermined time. In the present embodiment, the quest progression unit 117 activates the quick answer skill only for the teammate character that satisfies the attack participation condition. The teammate character satisfying the attack participation condition is a teammate character having at least one attribute set in the question panel to which the question correctly answered by the user is linked. For example, it is assumed that the user has correctly answered the question on the questions panel 303 shown in FIG. In this case, the attribute set in the question panel 303 is, according to the panel data shown in FIG. 8, a water attribute + a fire attribute. Therefore, in this case, the quest progression unit 117 determines that the teammate character having at least one of the water attribute and the fire attribute satisfies the condition for participating in the attack. If the time taken for the answer exceeds the predetermined time, the step is omitted.

  In step S117, the quest progressing unit 117 causes each of the ally characters that satisfy the attack participation condition to perform a predetermined action related to the battle. As the predetermined action, for example, it is assumed that the teammate character attacks the enemy character.

  The damage value given to the enemy character by this attack is calculated under the influence of both the first effect activated in step S114 and the effect by the quick answer skill activated in step S116. The user can save the bonus by a predetermined threshold or more and answer the problem quickly within a predetermined time, thereby making it possible to advance the game very advantageously, benefiting from the respective effects.

  In the present embodiment, even if the user answers the question correctly, if the ally character does not satisfy the above-mentioned attack participation condition, the quest progression unit 117 controls the ally character not to attack.

  On the other hand, if the user gives an incorrect answer, the quest progression unit 117 proceeds from step S110 NO to step S118.

  In step S118, the quest progress part 117 resets the continuous correct answer point of the quest progress counter shown in FIG. Then, the quest progression unit 117 omits the opportunity for the teammate character to attack, and proceeds to step S9 shown in FIG.

  If the time limit period expires in step S107 while the answer is not input in step S106, the quest progressing unit 117 proceeds from step S107 YES to step S118, and similarly to the case of incorrect answer, the consecutive correct answer point is 0 Reset to a question. Thereafter, the turn proceeds in the same manner as in the case of an incorrect answer, and step S9 shown in FIG. 3 is continuously processed without giving the teammate character an opportunity to attack.

  Next, turn progression when a multiple-answer question is selected will be described.

  In step S119, the quest progressing unit 117 presents, on the battle screen 300, the multi-answer question linked to the selected question panel, with reference to the panel data shown in FIG. For example, when the question panel 301 (FIG. 4) which is the first panel is selected, the question of the multi-answer question “ID: PQ 001” linked to the first panel is presented.

  In step S120, the quest progress unit 117 starts measuring the elapsed time from the point of presenting the problem and counts the remaining time limit.

  In step S121, the quest progression unit 117 presents on the question screen an answer GUI for making an answer to the small question associated with the selected multiple-answer question. In the present embodiment, the quest progression unit 117 sequentially displays one answer GUI corresponding to one small question on one screen of the display unit 152.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a specific example of the multiple answer question question display screen 350 displayed on the display unit 152 by the quest progression unit 117 in steps S119 to S121.

  The quest progress part 117 arrange | positions the question sentence 351, the answer GUI352 corresponding to one small problem, and the time limit 358 on the question screen 350 as an example. The quest progress unit 117 may further arrange the bonus gauge 307 on the question screen 350. The quest progress unit 117 may further arrange the number of small questions and correct answers 357 in the question screen 350. The number of small question correct answers (the number of correct answers of the small questions) is information indicating the number of small questions answered correctly by the user at the current time among a plurality of small questions to be asked about one multiple-answer question.

  As described above, one answer GUI 352 corresponding to one small question is configured by four image groups (image 353 to image 356) for which the user can select one image. Each image may be assigned an image ID based on the identification number of the minor problem and the position arranged in the answer GUI. For example, in the small question first answer GUI 352, the upper right image 353 is the image 1A, the upper left image 354 is the image 1B, the lower right image 355 is the image 1C, and the lower left image 356 is the image 1D. Each ID is assigned. That is, the numbers indicate the identification numbers of the minor problems, and the alphabets indicate the arrangement positions of the images. The quest progression unit 117 arranges four images at corresponding positions based on the image ID to construct an answer GUI 352.

  In the illustrated example, for the question sentence 351, the answer GUI 352 includes an image 354 representing the contents of the correct answer, an image 353 representing the contents of the wrong answer, an image 355, and an image 356. The respective images 353 to 356 are arranged in the order of upper right, upper left, lower right and lower left as shown in FIG. 14 according to the image ID. The user can input one solution for one small question by tapping the area of the image where he thinks the longest bar is shown.

  In step S122, when the operation receiving unit 111 receives an answer from the user, the quest proceeding unit 117 proceeds from step S122 YES to step S123.

  In step S123, the quest progress unit 117 determines whether the input answer is correct. For example, the quest progress part 117 reads out the correct answer of the small question given in the step S121 from the second DB shown in FIG. 10, and corrects based on whether the image specified by the user matches the read correct answer image. Determine Specifically, the quest progress part 117 is a small question (for example, “small question”) in which the image (for example, the image 354) designated by the user via the answer GUI is a multiple-answer question (for example, “ID: PQ001”) If it matches the correct answer (for example, image 1B) of 1 ′ ′), it is determined as the correct answer, and if not, it is determined as the incorrect answer.

  In step S124, the quest progression unit 117 may present the determination result on the question screen 350. For example, the determination result may be a figure of “o” in the case of a correct answer, or a figure of “x” in the case of an incorrect answer.

  In step S125, if the quest progress part 117 determines that the correct answer is given in step S123, the quest progress part 117 increments the number of small question correct answers by one.

  In step S126, the quest progress part 117 updates a bonus gauge, when it determines with a correct answer in step S123. In the present embodiment, according to the panel data shown in FIG. 8, the bonus given in the multiple-answer question is 5 points per 1 small question correct answer number. Therefore, if the original bonus gauge is "3 points", the quest progress part 117 updates it to "5 points".

  In addition, at any timing from step S123 to step S127, the quest progress part 117 may additionally subtract the remaining limit time as a penalty when the user makes a wrong answer.

  In step S127, as long as the time limit has not expired, the quest progress unit 117 proceeds from step S127 NO to step S128.

  In step S128, the quest progress part 117 reads out the next answer GUI corresponding to the next small question from the second DB shown in FIG. Then, the quest progress unit 117 repeats steps S121 to S128 within the time limit.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a specific example of the question display screen 360 to be displayed next to the question display screen 350 shown in FIG. 14 by the quest progress unit 117 in step S122 to step S128. In the present embodiment, the quest progression unit 117 displays an answer GUI corresponding to the next small question on the display unit 152 in response to the input of the answer corresponding to the previous small question. It is preferable that the quest progression unit 117 controls to display an answer GUI corresponding to the next small question at the same time as inputting the answer to the previous small question as the user's physical sensation. This allows the user to answer more small questions earlier and to call up and answer more small questions within the time limit. As a result, the questions and answers can be made to progress in a continuous manner with a good tempo, and the user can feel the refreshing feeling of continuous answers.

  When an answer to the previous small question shown in FIG. 14 is input, the quest progression unit 117 causes the display unit 152 to display a question output screen 360 in which the content of the question output screen 350 is changed according to whether the answer is correct. Specifically, the quest progression unit 117 replaces the answer GUI 362 for the next small question with the answer GUI 352 and displays the result. In addition, the quest progress unit 117 updates the remaining time among the value of the bonus gauge 307, the value of the number of minor correct questions 357, and the time limit 358 on the question screen 360. Furthermore, the quest progress part 117 may display the determination result of the answer to the previous small question. The determination result 361 may be a figure indicating the correct / incorrect solution as illustrated. It is preferable that the quest progression unit 117 displays the determination result 361 at the position where the correct image 354 is arranged in the above-mentioned answer GUI 352 for the small question, and hide the result in a short period. This prevents the user from viewing the contents of the images 363 to 366 of the answer GUI 362 corresponding to the next minor problem.

  As described above, the quest progression unit 117 repeats the presentation of the answer GUI and the acceptance of the answer one after another within the time limit.

  If the time limit period expires in step S129 while the answer is not input in step S122 while steps S121 to S128 are repeated, the quest progression unit 117 proceeds from step S129 YES to step S130.

  In step S130, the quest progress unit 117 determines whether the bonus gauge after the update satisfies a predetermined condition.

  In step S131, as in step S114, the quest progression unit 117 activates the first effect when the bonus gauge satisfies a predetermined condition, for example, the value of the bonus gauge is equal to or greater than a threshold. For example, as described above, the first effect is an effect of enhancing the offensive power of the teammate character. If the bonus gauge does not satisfy the predetermined condition, the step is omitted.

  In step S132, the quest progress unit 117 advances the turn according to the number of small questions and correct answers counted within the time limit. In the present embodiment, the larger the number of correct answers, the higher the effect, and the more advantageous the battle is activated. As an example, the quest progression unit 117 may give the enemy character an episodic damage with a damage value calculated based on the number of small questions and correct answers. In this case, the quest progress unit 117 calculates the damage value so that the damage value increases as the number of small question correct answers increases.

  Furthermore, when the attack power of the teammate character is added to the calculation of the damage value, the quest progression unit 117 calculates the damage value also in consideration of the first effect activated in step S131. If the first effect is an effect of strengthening the offensive power of the teammate character, the quest progress unit 117 calculates the above-mentioned damage value based on the offensive power after the enhancement.

  In step S133, the quest progress part 117 may update the continuous correct answer point and the cumulative correct answer point. Since the multiple answer question is the type of question that is output as a conclusion as how many correct small questions can be answered within the time limit, it is output as a conclusion whether or not one correct question is answered like a single answer question is not. However, in the present embodiment, the quest progression unit 117 converts one challenge of the multiple-answer problem into one correct answer to the single-answer problem, and increments the continuous correct answer point and the cumulative correct answer point by one each. It is also good. This avoids the user thinking that the merits of challenging the multi-answer problem is low, and can motivate the user to try the multi-answer problem.

  In the present embodiment, if the multiple-answer question is challenged, a bonus of 5 points is given to the user for each small-question correct answer number. If you answer many small questions correctly within the time limit, you will be able to significantly increase your bonus gauge with only one challenge. This makes it possible for the user to greatly benefit from challenging the multiple-answer problem and to further motivate the user to challenge the multiple-answer problem.

  After this, the quest progress part 117 may execute step S116 and step S117 as in the case of the turn progression of the single answer question. In another embodiment, the quest progression unit 117 may omit steps S116 and S117 when a multiple-answer question is selected.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a specific example of the battle screen 370 displayed on the display unit 152 by the quest progress unit 117 in step S117. The battle screen 370 includes an animation of a scene in which an ally character that satisfies the attack participation conditions is made to attack the enemy character. If the user answers the single-answer question correctly, the quest progression unit 117 causes an ally character having the same attribute as the attribute set in the question panel to which the question is linked to attack. When the user correctly answers the single answer question on the question panel in which the three attributes of water, fire, and lightning are set, as shown in the example in the figure, the quest progression unit 117 gives an opportunity for attack to ally characters of any attribute. give. Alternatively, when the user challenges the multiple-answer problem, all team members may attack all friend characters regardless of the category. Here, the damage value given to the enemy character by the attack of the ally character is calculated in consideration of the first effect activated in step S133. As described above, when the first effect is an effect of strengthening the offensive power of the teammate character, the quest progress part 117 calculates the above-mentioned damage value based on the offensive power after strengthening.

  If the value of the bonus gauge satisfies a predetermined condition by updating the bonus gauge of the quest progress counter in step S111 or S126, then the quest progress unit 117 sets the value of the bonus gauge 307 as shown in the figure. The display mode may be changed to notify the user that the condition is satisfied and the first effect is triggered.

  According to the above configuration and method, in addition to advancing the game (combat) in accordance with the selected option (question panel), the user is made to earn points (bonus) in accordance with the selected option. If the point satisfies a predetermined condition (if a predetermined value is reached), a first effect (attack force is increased, etc.) that makes the game progress advantageous is activated. After this, the game proceeds after the effect is activated.

  In this way, while the user chooses options to advance the game and proceeds with playing, the user gains points in accordance with the selected options. When points are accumulated, the user can continue playing to advance the game while benefiting from the advantageous effect of the game progress.

  This allows the user to choose an option that is optimal, that is, can efficiently save points, in terms of activating an advantageous effect while playing to choose the best option in mind in order to advance the game in an advantageous manner. It will be possible to adopt the strategy. As a result, it is possible to diversify strategies and improve the interest of the game.

Is also included in the technical scope of the present invention.

[Items to be added]
It will be as follows when the contents concerning one side of the present invention are listed.

  (Item 1) The game program (131) has been described. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a game program is executed by a computer (at least one of the user terminal 100 and the server 200) including a processor (10, 20) and a memory (11, 21). The game program is configured to selectably present, to the processor, a plurality of options (question panels 301 to 304) to which points (bonuses) are respectively associated, based on the options selected by the user (S2). Steps to advance the game (S7 to S8), and when the progress of the game based on the selected option satisfies predetermined requirements, the step of giving the user points associated with the option to the user (S111, S126 And the step (S114, S131) of activating the first effect in which the progress of the game is advantageous when the awarded points satisfy the predetermined conditions (S113, YES in S130).

  According to the above configuration, in addition to advancing the game according to the option selected by the user, if the progress satisfies the requirements, the user is made to earn points according to the selected option. If the acquired points satisfy a predetermined condition (e.g., reach a predetermined value), a first effect is activated, which makes the game progress advantageous. After this, the first effect becomes effective, and the game proceeds.

  In this way, while the user chooses options to advance the game and proceeds with playing, the user gains points in accordance with the selected options. When points are accumulated, the user can continue playing to advance the game, benefiting from the first effect that the game progress is advantageous.

  This allows the user to choose the best (efficiently stored points) option in terms of activating the first advantageous effect while playing to choose the best option in mind in order to advance the game in an advantageous manner. You will be able to adopt a strategy of choice. As a result, the strategy is diversified, and the effect of improving the interest of the game is achieved.

  (Item 2) In (Item 1), the step of presenting the option presents a plurality of question panels for causing the user to select a problem as the option, and in the step of advancing the game, the question panel selected by the user Present the linked problem (S102, S119), receive an answer to the problem from the user (S106, S122), determine whether the answer is correct (S108, S123), and proceed the game according to the determination result (S110) -S118, S125-S132), in the step of giving points, when the user answers the question correctly, the point associated with the question panel to which the question is linked may be given to the user. This brings about the effect of improving the interest of the quiz game.

  (Item 3) In (Item 2), the game based on the game program includes a battle part (quest) in which an ally character operable by the user advances a battle fighting an enemy character one or more times, and a memory (11, 21) In ally, one or more ally characters are associated and stored, respectively, and the step of presenting options during battle is more in number as the difficulty of the problem linked to the question panel is higher. Of the questions panel, and the more the number of attributes set in the question panel, the more points to be given to the user when correct answering the problem, the question panel is presented The step of advancing the game is that the user gives a correct answer to the problem, and the ally character is set in the question display panel to which the problem is linked. On condition that the attribute has at least one, preferably it is carried out teammate character a predetermined action according to combat.

  According to the above configuration, the more the number of attributes set, the more ally characters can participate in the battle action if they answer correctly, and there is a merit that the capture of the quest is facilitated, but the number of attributes is increased. There is also a disadvantage that it is more difficult to answer correctly the more problems there are. In this way, the user compares the merits and the demerits, selects the optimal strategy for each, and plays the game. For this reason, it is possible to diversify the strategy and to enhance the interest of the game.

  However, the user tends to select a less difficult question in order to ensure that the ally character performs the battle action. Here, according to the above configuration, the point associated with the question panel is determined according to the number of attributes. Specifically, as the questioning panel has more attributes, more points are associated. Therefore, a user who wants to earn points efficiently is motivated to challenge a question panel with a large number of attributes, that is, a high difficulty problem. As a result, the tension of the battle part is increased, and the game is more interesting.

  (Item 4) In (Item 3), in the memory, at least one of the teammate characters is associated with the number of attributes set in the question panel presented in the presenting step, in the question panel The ability to activate the second effect to be increased without changing the degree of difficulty is stored in association with the game program, and after the presentation panel is presented to the processor, the game program is teamed before accepting selection of the presentation panel from the user. The step of causing the character to activate the second effect (S5) may be performed. This allows the user to activate the second effect of increasing the number of attributes set in the question panel. Then, the user can gain more points while making a challenge on the low difficulty level by receiving the benefit of the second effect. Thus, the game value of the ally character having the second effect ability is enhanced, and the user can be attracted to the ally character. As a result, it is possible to provide the user with more attractive games.

  (Item 5) In (Item 3) or (Item 4), in the memory, at least one of the teammate characters corresponds to the ability to trigger a third effect of presenting information indicative of the correct answer of the presented problem to the user. The game program may cause the processor to execute the step (S105) of causing the teammate character to activate the third effect after the problem is presented and before accepting an answer to the problem from the user. . This makes it easier for the user to answer the high difficulty questions with the benefit of the third effect. And, the user can earn more points more reliably. In this manner, the game value of the ally character having the third effect ability is enhanced, and the user can be attracted to the ally character. As a result, it is possible to provide the user with more attractive games.

  (Item 6) In any one of the items (Item 3) to (Item 5), in the step of advancing the game, a teammate character satisfying a condition for performing a predetermined action concerning battle is subjected to the predetermined action, It may be implemented for all the attributes that the ally character has. For example, an ally character having two attributes of the first attribute and the second attribute performs a predetermined action on the first attribute when given an opportunity for the action, and performs the same predetermined action on the second attribute. Do. As a result, an ally character having a plurality of attributes can obtain more opportunities for action such as an attack as compared with an ally character having one attribute. In this manner, the game value of the teammate character having a plurality of attributes is enhanced, and the user can be attracted to the teammate character. As a result, it is possible to provide the user with more attractive games.

  (Item 7) In any one item from (Item 3) to (Item 6), the condition for the end of a battle part is that allied characters have won all battles constituting the battle part, or multiple times The ally character is defeated in any of the battles, and the step of advancing the game includes presenting a plurality of question panels at least once in each of the battles, and advancing the battle according to the user's choice. The step of granting points continuously calculates the sum of all points awarded over a plurality of battles until the combat part ends, and the step of activating the first effect is the sum of points The more effects there are, the higher the effect may be to activate the first effect. Thus, the total number of points increases while the battle part is in progress, and the higher the total number of points, the higher the benefit from the first effect. In particular, the second half of the battle part can be advanced more advantageously. Therefore, it is possible to diversify strategies for combat part capture, such as how to earn points efficiently in the early part of the combat part, and to further improve the interest of the game.

  (Item 8) In (Item 7), the step of activating the first effect may activate the first effect when the sum of points is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold. Thereby, the user can receive the benefit of the first effect continuously from the point when the sum of points reaches the predetermined value until the end of the quest. In particular, the user can advance the battle from that point in time (that is, the second half or the last part of the battle part) more advantageously. Therefore, the strategies for combat part capture can be diversified, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  (Item 9) In (Item 7) or (Item 8), in the step of activating the first effect, the offensive power of the teammate character may be strengthened based on the sum of points as the first effect.

  (Item 10) In any one of the items (Item 2) to (Item 9), the user presents one answer to the question presented in the question presented in the step of advancing the game. There are two types of multi-answer questions, in which multiple small questions are associated with single-answer questions of the type to be input and one presented question, and the user inputs an answer for each small question. Yes, the presenting step presents at least one question panel (301) to which the multiple-answer problem is linked as an option, and the step of advancing the game selects the question panel to which the multiple-answer question is linked In this case, one solution graphical user interface (hereinafter referred to as GUI) (352, 362) is presented for each small question, and the solution is received for each small question, and a plurality of small questions are received. Depending on the number of correct answers of the subject to proceed the game, the step of imparting point may be imparted to the user points in accordance with the correct number of subproblems. According to the above configuration, two types of quizzes are presented. Then, with respect to a multi-answer question in which a plurality of small questions are associated with one presented question, the user can earn more points as the number of correct answers increases. By diversifying question types, it is also possible to diversify the points acquiring method, and as a result, it is possible to further improve the interest of the quiz game.

  (Item 11) In (Item 10), the game based on the game program includes a battle part in which an ally character operable by the user advances a battle fighting an enemy character one or more times, and the step of advancing the game is small The greater the number of correct answers in question, the more damage may be dealt to the enemy character. As a result, it is possible to enhance the interest of the multiple answer problem, respond more to the user's intellectual curiosity, and more strongly give the user an incentive to challenge the multiple answer problem.

  (Item 12) In (Item 10) or (Item 11), the step of advancing the game corresponds to the sub-problem associated with the multiple-answer problem when the question panel to which the multiple-answer problem is linked is selected. Presenting an answer GUI, receiving an answer of a subproblem from the user via the answer GUI, and presenting a next answer GUI corresponding to the next subproblem in response to acceptance of the answer within a time limit. The number of correct answers among the answers input by the user within the time limit may be counted as the number of correct answers for the small questions.

  According to the above-described configuration, the answer GUIs are presented one after another in response to the input operation of the answer corresponding to the user's previous small question. In other words, the faster you answer, the more you can answer more small questions, and therefore you can earn more points faster.
