  Further, in the present embodiment, a plurality of layer screens of the first to N-th layers (N is an integer of 2 or more) may be formed as the scratch surface of the battle game. Then, based on the operation input associated with the display screen, a scratch process may be performed in which the screen of the operation area is erased step by step from the surface layer to the lower layer.

  At this time, the parameter management unit 113 determines the area and depth of the scratched scratch surface as the input, and performs a change process for changing a value based on the associated parameter based on the operation input. May be

  Here, in the scratch process, a first attribute is set on the scratch surface of each layer, and according to a combination of the first attribute and at least one attribute (second attribute) of the player character and the enemy character. In addition, a correction process may be performed to correct the scratch ability of the operation input to the scratch surface of each layer. In addition, when the player can select any scratch item from a plurality of scratch items, the second attribute is assigned to each scratch item, and the attribute of the selected scratch item and the first of the scratch surface are assigned. A correction process may be performed to correct the scratch capability for the operation input to the scratch surface of each layer in combination with the attribute of.

  Thus, the combination of the first attribute of the scratch surface and the attribute (second attribute) of the player character and the enemy character or scratch item can set a scratch surface which is easily scraped by operation input and a scratch surface which is easily scraped. For this reason, it is possible to realize an operation input performed with a sense of tension while changing the operation input at the time of the battle and enjoying the screen effect on the game screen.

3. 3. Method of Present Embodiment 3.1 Outline FIG. 4 shows an example of the terminal 10 used in the present embodiment.

  The terminal 10 has a display 14 and a transparent touch panel 12 provided on the display 14.

  The display 14 functions as the display unit 190, and the touch panel 12 functions as a part of the input unit 160. A given game screen is displayed on the display 14 as the game progresses.

  Then, when an input event occurs while the game is in progress, a given operation input is required of the player.

  Specifically, when the input event occurs during the progress of the game, a given reception time (input time limit) is set, and an operation input from the player to the game screen (for example, movement of the locus to the game screen by the player) Input). Then, in association with the operation input received within the reception time (input time limit), a change process is performed for changing the value of the parameter set for each given pixel unit of the game screen. Then, a game operation reflecting the value of the parameter obtained by the change process is performed, and the game progresses.

  In particular, in the terminal 10 of the present embodiment, the player's operation input during the given reception time (input time limit) is expressed as “a plurality of pixel units in which the parameter change capability is set in a given pixel unit”. The virtual input pattern on the game screen is converted into a virtual operation pattern according to “a virtual input pattern composed of a set of” and accepted. Then, as the change process, a process of changing the value of the parameter of the virtual operation area on the game screen by the converted virtual operation input in association with the parameter change ability set in the virtual input pattern Do.

  By adopting such a novel configuration, it is possible to realize an operation input with an operation feeling and game characteristics which have not been achieved conventionally, reflecting the operation input of the player.

3.2 Setting a Given Reception Time (Input Time Limit) The “given reception time (input time limit)” may be set appropriately as the game progresses, and a given input event (eg, When a battle event between a player character and an enemy character occurs during the game, it may be set in association with the event (for example, prior to the battle).

  In the present embodiment, when an input event occurs while the game is in progress, a given reception time (input time limit) for receiving the above-described player's operation input in association with the occurrence of the event is set. Then, when the reception of the operation input by the player is started, the player is requested to input the operation on the game screen GI.

  The length of the reception time (input time limit) may be constant, and the type of the input event, the level of the player, the type of item owned by the player, and the type of virtual input pattern 600 to be used. Depending on various conditions such as these, change control may be performed as appropriate.

  In addition, during the reception time (input time limit), an operation input to the game screen is, for example, a given unit time (for example, 1/00) as “a virtual operation input to the game screen by a virtual input pattern”. It may be accepted every 60 seconds). Similarly, for example, “the process of changing the value of the parameter of the virtual operation area on the game screen by the converted virtual operation input in association with the parameter change capability set in the virtual input pattern” is, for example, You may carry out for every given unit time (for example, 1/60 second).

3.3 Parameter values set for each given pixel unit of the game screen FIG. 5A schematically shows the game screen GI displayed on the display 14.

  The display 14 displays the game screen GI as an image composed of a plurality of pixel units. In this embodiment, parameters are set for each pixel unit (one pixel unit in the embodiment) of the game screen GI, and the parameter values for each pixel unit are parameter conversions set for a virtual input pattern 600 described later. It will be changed in relation to the ability.

  FIG. 5B schematically illustrates an enlarged part of the game screen GI illustrated in FIG. A parameter is set in each pixel unit of the game screen GI (display 14 for displaying the game screen GI), and in FIG. 5B, the initial value of the parameter in each pixel unit is set to 150.

  In addition, the initial value of the parameter of each pixel unit which constitutes the game screen GI (display 14) may set a different initial value for each area as necessary, and also sets different conditions etc. related to the parameter. May be.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of parameters, conditions, and attributes set for each pixel unit constituting the game screen GI.

  For example, in the pixel units of numbers 1 and 2, the parameter initial value is set to 200, the parameter condition is “sand”, and the attribute is set to A. For example, in the pixel units of numbers k and k + 1, the parameter initial value is set. There are 150, the parameter condition is set to "rock", and the attribute is set to B.

  Here, “sand” and “rock” as parameter conditions may control the easiness of changing the value of the parameter, for example, the condition of “sand” may be changed during parameter change processing. The condition of "rock" may function as a condition that facilitates changing the value of the parameter, and the condition of "rock" may function as a condition that makes it difficult to change the value of the parameter during the parameter changing process.

  Also, the attributes A, B, etc. are used as combinations that are easy to exhibit parameter conversion ability or combinations that are difficult to exhibit by combinations with virtual input pattern attributes described later.

3.4 Operation Input Corresponding to Display Screen When the reception time (input time limit) is set and reception is started due to the occurrence of the input event, the game screen GI displayed on the display 14 is displayed to the player. It is required to perform touch input operation.

  Here, for example, a case is assumed in which an operation is input so as to draw a trajectory 500 between Q1 and Q2, as shown in FIG. At this time, the locus 500 of the operation input is detected by the touch panel 12. In the present embodiment, the case where the operation input is detected as a direct input via a touch panel will be described as an example. However, in addition to this, the operation of the player corresponding to the game screen using other means is used. An input may be detected. For example, a detection unit provided separately from the display, for example, an input unit such as a stylus pen and a doublet may be used to detect the scratch input to the game screen.

3.5 Virtual Input Pattern and Virtual Operation Area In this embodiment, “virtual input pattern composed of a set of a plurality of pixels in which parameter change capability is set in a given pixel unit” is a set of a plurality of pixels. It may be a virtual pattern constituting a given size and shape. The shape and size may be changed and controlled based on given conditions.

  In addition, “parameter change ability is set in a given pixel unit” means that the same “parameter change ability” may be set in all the pixel units constituting the “virtual input pattern”, different “parameter change ability”. May be set.

  FIG. 7A shows an example of a virtual input pattern 600 according to the present embodiment.

This virtual input pattern 600 is configured as a set of a plurality of pixel units in which parameter changing capability is set for each given pixel unit. In the figure, the black circle represents a pixel unit, and the size of the black circle schematically represents the parameter conversion capability set for each pixel unit. The larger the black circle, the higher the parameter conversion capability.

  As shown in the figure, this pixel input pattern 600 is set such that the parameter conversion capability is higher as it is closer to the center and the parameter conversion capability is lower as it is outward.

  The virtual input pattern 600 may have any size and shape as required, but in the present embodiment, it is configured to have a shape larger than the normal contact area between the player's finger and the touch panel 12. Be done.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the player performs a sliding touch operation from Q1 to Q2 on the game screen GI, the operation locus 500 from Q1 to Q2 by the player's operation input becomes almost one line.

  In this embodiment, the player's operation input to the game screen GI is converted into a virtual operation input to the game screen GI by the virtual input pattern 600, and the reception process is performed. That is, when the player performs a slide operation from Q1 to Q2, the virtual input pattern 600 is converted into a virtual operation input such as a slide operation input on the game screen GI along the locus 500. The range of operation on the game screen GI by the converted virtual operation input is a virtual operation area 530 indicated by a one-dot chain line in FIG.

  That is, the range in which the virtual input pattern 600 is moved along the operation input locus 500 from Q1 to Q2 is the virtual operation area 530 on the game screen GI.

3.6 Parameter Change Capability Set for Virtual Input Pattern Next, “parameter conversion capability” set for each pixel unit of the virtual input pattern 600 will be described.

  Here, "parameter change ability" is the effect of converting the value of the parameter set for each given pixel unit of the game screen GI, and this "parameter change ability" is appropriately changed and controlled according to the given conditions. May be.

  For example, the virtual input pattern 600A-1 shown in FIG. 8A will be described as an example.

  This virtual input pattern 600A-1 is schematically divided into four ring-like regions concentrically, and parameter conversion capabilities such as n1, n2, n3 and n4 are set in order from the center in the pixel unit of each region It shall be.

  These parameter conversion capabilities n1, n2, n3 and n4 are allocated as parameter conversion capabilities from the values of parameters in units of pixels making up the game image GI for each given unit time (for example, 1/60 seconds) The values n1, n2, n3 and n4 are set as values to be subtracted under given conditions. For example, the parameter conversion capability n1 is set as a capability to subtract the value of n1 under given conditions from the value of the parameter of the unit pixel of the game screen GI every given unit time (1/60 second). The same applies to the other parameter conversion capabilities n2, n3 and n4.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the higher the parameter conversion ability value, the higher the ability to subtract the parameter value assigned to the pixel unit of the game screen GI.

3.7 Change Process of Parameter Value in Virtual Operation Area In the present embodiment, “process for changing the parameter value of the virtual operation area 500 in association with the parameter change ability set in the virtual input pattern 600” is If it is during the reception time (input time limit), for example, it may be repeated every given unit time (for example, 1/60 seconds).

  As a result, as the moving speed of the operation input is reduced, the change processing is repeatedly performed for a specific pixel unit, and the parameter of the specific pixel unit can be largely changed, for example, from the surface layer to the layer screen of the lower layer. A new operation feeling that reflects the player's operational feeling that the value of the parameter in pixel units can be changed across (deeply) and the parameter in pixel units can be changed over a wide range by increasing the movement speed of the operation input. It is possible to realize a game effect unprecedented and related to the depth and range of parameters changed by the game input.

  For example, when the virtual input pattern 600 is located at the same portion of the game screen for a long time, the value of the parameter of each pixel unit of the game screen GI existing at the position overlapping with the virtual input pattern 600 is Is gradually subtracted, and finally becomes 0.

  Further, even if the virtual input pattern 600 is moved on the game screen GI, the parameter value of each pixel unit of the game screen GI existing at a position overlapping the virtual input pattern 600 during the movement period is the unit. It is gradually subtracted every time.

  Accordingly, if the virtual input pattern 600 is moved quickly on the game screen GI, a wide virtual operation area 530 can be obtained. However, the cumulative subtraction value of the parameter value for each pixel in the virtual operation area 530 is If it moves smaller and moves slower, the range of the virtual operation area 530 narrows, but the cumulative subtraction value of the parameter value of each pixel in the virtual operation area 530 increases.

3.8 Game Calculation Reflecting Values of Parameters Obtained by Change Processing According to the present embodiment, a game calculation in which the values of the parameters obtained by such change processing are reflected is performed, and the game proceeds.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, since the virtual input pattern 600 is virtually operated on the game screen GI within the reception time, a change process of parameter values rich in change is performed. It is possible to perform various game operations reflecting the result of the change process.

  As an example of the game calculation reflecting such parameter values, a specific example in which a player character and an enemy character battle each other will be described later.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a game operation may be performed to perform a game effect associated with a combination of a value of a parameter obtained by the change process and a given item (for example, an item obtained by the player).

3.9 A plurality of selectable virtual input patterns In the present embodiment, a plurality of virtual input patterns 600 may exist in a selectable state.

  Further, when there are a plurality of virtual input patterns 600 which can be selected, the game screen GI may identify and display the second attribute set in the selected virtual input pattern 600.

  FIG. 9 illustrates a plurality of circular virtual input patterns 600A-1, 600A-2, and 600A-3 having different sizes.

  FIG. 10 illustrates a plurality of hexagonal virtual input patterns 600B-1, 600B-2, and 600B-3 having different sizes.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, a plurality of virtual input patterns 600 of different shapes and sizes are prepared, and a given one among the plurality of virtual input patterns 600 is uniquely determined according to the situation of the game. Alternatively, the player may be arbitrarily selectable.

  In the present embodiment, the plurality of virtual input patterns 600 may be formed as having unique shapes, sizes, parameter conversion capabilities, and attributes.

  Also, a plurality of different virtual input patterns 600 may be set as items in the game. For example, it may be configured such that a player can acquire and use an item of a desired virtual input pattern 600 under a given condition during a game.

3.10 Parameter Change Processing with Different Virtual Input Patterns Next, change the parameter values of the virtual operation area 530 by using different virtual input patterns 600 in relation to the different parameter change capabilities set in the virtual input pattern 600 The process to be performed will be described.

  FIGS. 8A and 8B illustrate two types of virtual input patterns 600A-1 and 600A-2 that can be selected and used that have the same shape (for example, a circular shape) but different sizes. As shown in FIG. 6A, the virtual input pattern 600A-1 having a large radius is set so that the parameter conversion capability decreases from n1, n2, n3, and n4 toward the outside from the center. There is.

  Further, FIG. 8B shows a virtual input pattern 600A-2 having a small radius, and in this virtual input pattern A-2, the parameter conversion ability is reduced to m1 and m2 from the center toward the outside. Is set to

  Here, assuming that the total parameter conversion capability of both virtual input patterns 600A-1 and 600A-2 is the same (the total value of the parameter conversion capabilities of all the pixel units constituting virtual input pattern 600 is the same). As the area of the virtual input pattern 600 increases, the parameter conversion capability per pixel unit decreases, and as the area decreases, the parameter conversion capability per pixel unit increases. For example, assuming that the radius of the virtual input pattern 600A-2 shown in FIG. 8B is 1/2 of the virtual input pattern 600A-1 shown in FIG. 8A, the case shown in FIG. It is understood that the parameter conversion capability per pixel unit of the virtual input pattern 600A-2 is four times the parameter conversion capability per pixel unit of the virtual input pattern 600A-1 shown in FIG. Thus, the smaller the area of the virtual input pattern 600, the larger the parameter conversion capability per pixel unit, and the larger the area, the lower the parameter conversion capability per pixel unit.

In the above description, although virtual input patterns 600A-1 and 600A-2 are compared under the condition that the total parameter conversion ability is the same even though the sizes are different, a plurality of different types are described. Virtual input patterns 600 may be prepared, and the total parameter conversion capability may be different for each virtual input pattern.
Uniform parameter conversion capability may be set for all 0 pixel units, and control may be performed to improve or decrease parameter conversion capability for each pixel unit as necessary.

  FIG. 11 shows a trajectory 500 of the player's operation input to the game screen GI and a specific example in the case of converting this into a virtual operation input by the virtual input pattern 600.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 11A, when the player performs an operation input from Q1 to Q2 on the game screen GI, a locus 500 of the operation input as shown in the figure is obtained.

  At this time, if the player's operation input is converted into a virtual operation input using virtual input pattern 600A-1 shown in FIG. 8A, for example, virtual input pattern 600A- as shown in FIG. 11C. 1 is obtained.

  Further, when the operation input of the player is converted into a virtual operation input using, for example, the virtual input pattern 600A-2 shown in FIG. 8B, the virtual input pattern 600A- as shown in FIG. 11B. 2 is obtained.

  Comparing the virtual operation areas 530 obtained by the two types of virtual input patterns 600A-1 and 600A-1, the parameter changing ability per unit pixel of the virtual input pattern 600A-1 having a large area is the virtual input pattern having a small area. Since the virtual input pattern 600A-1 having a large area can be used in comparison with the parameter conversion capability per unit pixel of 600A-1, a virtual operation input can be performed over a wide range. The amount of change of the parameter for each pixel is small.

  Conversely, if the virtual input pattern 600A-2 with a small area is used, the area of the virtual operation area 530 obtained decreases, but the parameter change amount of each pixel constituting the virtual operation area 530 can be made large. it can.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to perform virtual operation input different according to the size and type of the virtual input pattern 600 to be used, and according to the game situation, the player's level, etc. By performing selective use, it is possible to perform more varied operation input.

3.11 Game Screen and Virtual Input Pattern Attributes In the present embodiment, a first attribute is set for the game screen GI, a second attribute is set for the virtual input pattern 600, and the first and second attributes are set. Depending on the family combination, change control for changing at least one of the pattern shape of the virtual input pattern 600 and the parameter conversion capability for each given pixel unit may be performed.

  According to this embodiment, the degree of difficulty of the operation input reflected on the game score can be changed by the combination of the first attribute of the game screen and the attribute (second attribute) of the virtual input pattern.

For example, different attributes A, B, etc. may be set as the first attribute for each predetermined area of the game screen GI. Then, an attribute of either A or B may be set as the second attribute to the virtual input pattern 600 to be used. At this time, if the first attribute and the second family are the same attribute, change control may be performed to change the pattern shape of the virtual input pattern 600 to a desired other shape, or the virtual input pattern Change control such as increasing the parameter change capability of each pixel unit 600 may be performed. For example, when the first attribute matches the second attribute, change control may be performed such that the pattern shape of the virtual input pattern is largely controlled or the parameter change capability for each pixel is enhanced.

  Thereby, when the first attribute and the second attribute are the same, the value of the parameter in each pixel unit of the game screen GI can be largely changed by the virtual operation input by the virtual input pattern 600, and the player It becomes possible to effectively perform operation input reflected in the game score.

3.12 Setting Parameters of Different Conditions for Each Layer Screen or Each Area of Each Layer Screen Also, as described later, a plurality of layers from the first layer to the Nth layer (N is an integer of 2 or more) as the game screen GI A screen in which layer screens are sequentially arranged from the surface layer to the lower layer may be generated, and the parameters may be set for each given pixel unit in each layer screen.

  Then, the value of the parameter of the area of the layer screen associated with the virtual operation area 530 may be changed in association with the parameter changing capability set in the virtual input pattern 600.

  Thus, for example, game processing can be performed such that the screen corresponding to the virtual operation area 500 is progressively erased from the surface to the lower layer, etc. “A virtual operation input to the game screen by the virtual input pattern is performed. The game can be progressed while displaying the image as the range and depth of the virtual operation area 530 and allowing the player to visually recognize it.

  Then, the range and depth are set as the virtual operation input, and the parameter value of the virtual operation area 530 is changed based on the virtual operation input. For this reason, the operation input within the time limit for the game can be performed with a sense of tension while enjoying the screen effect on the game screen GI. In this way, it is possible to realize operation input while enjoying the game screen reflecting the player's operation sense.

  Here, “the process of changing the parameter value of the operation area of the layer screen associated with the virtual operation area in association with the parameter changing ability set in the virtual input pattern” is the reception time (input time limit). ) May be repeated, for example, every given unit time (eg, 1/60 seconds).

  As a result, as the moving speed of the operation input is reduced, the change processing is repeatedly performed for a specific pixel unit, and the parameter of the specific pixel unit can be largely changed, for example, from the surface layer to the layer screen of the lower layer. It is possible to change the value of the parameter in pixel units across (deeply). In addition, if the moving speed of the operation input is increased, parameters in pixel units can be changed in a wide range. In this way, it is possible to realize a game input having a new operation feeling that reflects the player's operation feeling, and to realize an unprecedented game effect related to the depth and range of parameters changed by the game input. .

  In this case, the parameters may be set as parameters of different conditions for each layer screen or for each area of each layer screen.

  Here, "the parameter of the different condition" means that the "parameter change ability" set in the virtual input pattern is set as the parameter of the different condition. Here, the “different condition” may be a condition for changing the parameter in association with the “parameter changing ability”. For example, the condition may be a condition where the parameter is easily converted or difficult to change.

Thereby, the difficulty level of the operation input reflected in a game result can be set for every said layer screen or every area of each layer screen by the setting of the said conditions.

  Further, a different first attribute is set for each layer screen or each area of each layer screen, a second attribute is set for the virtual input pattern, and the combination of the first attribute and the second attribute is performed. Change control may be performed to change at least one of the input shape of the pixel input pattern and the parameter change capability for each pixel unit.

3.13 Display of Attributes Further, the first attribute and the second attribute type set in the game screen GI and the virtual input pattern 600 may be displayed on the game screen GI so that the player can visually recognize them.

  Further, the game screen GI may display a first attribute set for each layer screen or each area of each layer screen, and display a second attribute set for the virtual input pattern.

  For example, the display of the first attribute may be displayed by a color, a pattern, or the like. In addition, the second attribute may be displayed by, for example, a color, a pattern, or the like, and further, the attribute may be displayed by the shape of the virtual input pattern 600.

  In addition, “display of first and second attributes” may be represented by, for example, the same color or the same pattern as long as the attributes are the same. In this way, the player can easily recognize both attributes visually, for example, by performing an operation input on a layer screen or layer screen area having the same attribute as the virtual input pattern, the operation input reflected on the game score is This can be done effectively.

3.14 Control of Virtual Input Pattern In the present embodiment, even if the parameter management unit 113 performs change control to change at least one of the pattern shape of the virtual input pattern 600 and the parameter conversion capability for each given pixel unit. Good.

  By performing such change control, it is possible to change the virtual operation input to the game screen GI by the virtual input pattern 600 and to improve the game property of the operation input reflected on the game score.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the parameter management unit 113 may change and control the attribute of the virtual input pattern 600.

  Such change control may be appropriately executed in accordance with the situation of the game or the occurrence of an event during the game.

  Such change control may be executed in combination with, for example, a predetermined item (for example, a bomb item) acquired by the player character during the game.

3.15 Flowchart FIG. 12 shows a flowchart of the operation input according to the present embodiment described above.

  When a given event for accepting an operation input occurs during the progress of the game (step S10), the timer starts (step S12) and the acceptance of the operation input is started.

This operation input reception is repeatedly performed for a predetermined reception time until the timer ends in step S30. In the present embodiment, during the reception time, the reception processing of steps S22 to S24 is repeatedly performed every given unit time (for example, 1/60 seconds).

  First, when the player performs touch operation on the game screen GI, an operation input is accepted (step S2), and then the operation input is converted into a virtual operation input using the virtual input pattern 600 (step S22). Then, parameter conversion processing based on the parameter conversion capability assigned to each pixel unit of the virtual parameter 600 is performed on the area 530 of the virtual operation input on the game screen GI (step S24).

4. 4.1 Game with Virtual Operation Input 4.1 Outline of Game In the terminal 10 of the present embodiment, the above-described virtual operation input method (hereinafter referred to as “virtual operation input”) is used as a player character during the game. A battle game used when a battle event with an enemy character occurs is provided.

  In the present embodiment, the battle between the player character, which is the player character set as the player's game medium, and the enemy character, which is the opponent character, is a battle process using values based on the parameters of both media (characters) The game is progressed according to the result of the battle process.

  When a player using the virtual operation input method described above performs a scratch input as the virtual operation input within a given reception time (time limit) set in the battle, the value based on the parameter is It is changed based on scratch input (virtual operation input).

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when a player character and an enemy character battle each other, a value based on a parameter, which is an important factor for determining the victory or defeat of the battle, is set as a given reception time ( Change based on the scratch input (virtual operation input) within the time limit). As a result, when the player character and the enemy character face each other, the player's scratch operation input (virtual operation input) is directly linked to victory or defeat, and an unprecedented input experience-type operation feeling rich in tension and fun is provided. The accompanying battle game can be realized.

4.2 Game Screen FIG. 13 is a view showing an example of a game screen (game image) of the present embodiment. The game screen GI is displayed on the display unit 190 (display provided with a touch panel) of the terminal 10, and the player performs an input operation by performing a touch operation (touch operation) for causing a fingertip or a touch pen to touch the touch panel. it can.

  The game screen GI shown in FIG. 13 includes a battle area BA at the center of the screen, an attack turn display gauge KG at the top of the screen, and a player deck display area DK at the bottom of the screen.

  In the player deck display area DK, a plurality of player characters PO constituting the deck of the player are displayed. In the present embodiment, the deck is constituted by the first to fourth player characters PO1, PO2, PO3 and PO4.

The attack turn display gauge KG displays the order of the battle for each turn when the player character and the enemy character battle each other. The attack turn display gauge KG represents the order of attacks in each turn as follows. The first turn is the attack turn of the first player character PO1, the next is the attack turn of the enemy character OB twice, the next is the attack turn of the second player character PO2, and the next is the enemy character OB three times in succession. The attacking turn indicates that it is the attacking turn of the fourth player character PO4 next. From this attack turn display gauge KG, the player can know in advance the attack order of the enemy and the type of characters that appear, and can construct a battle strategy.

  The battle area BA in the center of the screen is partitioned in a lattice shape, and enemy characters OB are arranged in a plurality of lattice frames. Below each enemy character OB, a gauge HP representing the physical strength value is displayed, and the enemy character OB disappears when the physical strength value HP becomes zero.

4.3 Description of Battle Game Next, the process of the battle game of this embodiment will be described.

  In this embodiment, one unit of processing for the player character PO to attack the enemy character OB or one processing for the enemy character OB to attack the player character PO is one turn (game progression unit). As shown in FIG. The order of the attack turns of the player character PO and the enemy character OB is displayed on the attack turn display gauge KG.

4.3-1. Selection of Attack Target by Player For example, as shown in FIG. 13, when the player's attack turn using the player character PO1 arrives, the player character PO1 used for the attack is located below the battle area BA. It is highlighted.

  The player touches and selects the enemy character OB1 to be attacked.

  Thereby, as shown in FIG. 14, the reception area IA for the operation input having the given shape associated with the player character PO1 used for the attack is displayed so as to include the selected enemy character OB1. Ru. Here, a cross-shaped reception area IA1 including an enemy character OB1 composed of four squares is displayed.

  At the same time, the countdown of the timer gauge TG displayed above the battle area BA is started, and acceptance of operation input is started. Then, when the count of the immer gauge TG becomes 0, the acceptance of the operation input is ended.

  That is, the operation input of the present embodiment is accepted within a given set time (time limit) from when the timer gauge TG starts counting down to when it ends.

  Further, a scratch gauge SG is displayed above the battle area BA, and the amount of scratch input within the time limit is displayed.

4.3-2 Set Time (Time Limit), Reception Area IA and Operation Input When the timer gauge TG is displayed and reception of operation input is started, the player is displayed so as to include the selected enemy character OB1. The operation input to the reception area IA for operation input is started.

  In the present embodiment, the operation input is performed when the player performs a contact operation (touch operation) in which the player touches a fingertip, a touch pen, or the like on the reception area IA in the game screen GI displayed on the display unit 190 of the terminal 10. . In addition, even if the touch operation to the area other than the reception area IA is performed, the operation input is not determined.

Such an operation input is accepted until the display of the timer gauge TG becomes 0, and the acceptance ends when the time limit is exceeded.

  The player needs to efficiently scratch the reception area IA within a limited time limit.

  The length of the time limit (set time) may be fixedly set to a value such as 20 seconds, for example, or may be changed as appropriate in relation to a given condition. For example, the type and number of player characters PO used for the attack, the type and number of enemy characters OB to be attacked, the size and shape of the reception area IA, the progress of the game, the level of the player, etc. It may be set to a value.

  Further, the shape and size of the operation input reception area IA may be specific to the player character PO1 used for the attack, or may be appropriately changed according to the game situation. For example, as shown in FIG. 15, when the attack turn of the player using the next player character PO2 arrives, the reception area IA2 for operation input having a given shape associated with the player character PO2 is displayed. , And may be displayed so as to include the selected enemy character OB1. Here, an L-shaped reception area IA2 including an enemy character OB1 composed of four squares is displayed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in principle, the case where the player character PO and the enemy character OB battle one-on-one has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. It is also good. Further, for example, a plurality of enemy characters OB existing outside the reception area IA may be attackable.

  Further, when at least one of the player character PO and the enemy character OB exists in a selectable state, the operation required in relation to the selection pattern of the plurality of characters as the scratch condition required of the player The type or content of the input may be set as the scratch condition.

  For example, when a plurality of characters are selected, the pattern shape and area of the operation input reception area IA may be different from the shape and area of the operation input reception area IA associated with individual characters. For example, the area may be increased, or the shape may be set as a combination of a plurality of patterns. In addition, setting that accepts only one operation input such as flick operation, operation with one finger, operation with two fingers simultaneously, and setting to receive only operation input with either vertical or horizontal Good.

  In the present embodiment, the reception area IA is displayed in the game screen GI, and the touch operation to the reception area IA is described as an example. However, if necessary, the display of the reception area IA is It is also possible for the player to accept the touch operation over a wide area of the game screen without performing it. In this case, the total of operation inputs (for example, scratch input) during the time limit (set time) is accumulated (the accumulation result is displayed), and in some cases, the accumulation result is corrected with the item etc. The accumulated value (which may be a corrected accumulated value) may be assigned to a predetermined enemy character and a battle calculation may be performed. The correction process includes a case where the correction process is performed by, for example, an item (bomb or the like) buried in the scratch area of the game screen being activated.

4.3-3 Operation Input and Parameters In the present embodiment, when the player performs touch operation on the reception area IA according to a given condition within the time limit (set time), this is recognized as an operation input, accepted and accepted. The scratch amount corresponding to the operation input is displayed on the scratch gauge SG.

  In this embodiment, parameters are set for each given pixel unit on the scratch surface of the game screen. Then, when the player performs touch operation on the game screen in the reception area IA, the operation input is received, and then the operation input is a virtual operation input (virtual operation input) using the virtual input pattern 600. It is converted. Then, the parameter value of the pixel unit (one pixel unit in this embodiment) of the virtual operation input area (virtual operation area 530) in the reception area IA is assigned to each pixel unit of the virtual parameter 600. A parameter conversion process is performed on the virtual operation area to be sequentially subtracted based on the parameter conversion capability.

  As the parameter value of the pixel unit decreases, the pixel unit is subjected to transparency processing so as to approach transparency, and when the value becomes 0, image processing is performed so that the pixel unit becomes completely transparent. For example, in the present embodiment, the layer is subjected to transparency processing as described later.

  At this time, when the player virtually inputs the reception area IA in a wide range within the time limit, the reception area IA is scratched in a wide range and shallowly (the initial value of each pixel unit is subtracted in a wide range, but each When the subtraction amount for each pixel unit is small) and a virtual area is repeatedly input for a specific area within the time limit, the area is scratched deeply (though it is a narrow area, but the subtraction value for each pixel unit in that area) Can be realized).

  FIG. 19 shows the configuration of the scratch surface of the game screen GI of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 19A, the game screen GI of the present embodiment has a plurality of layer screens GI, G2, G3. Is generated as a screen that is disposed in order from the surface layer to the lower layer as a scratch surface. In the present embodiment, three layers of layer screens are overlapped, but if necessary, other than this, for example, four or more layers of layer screens may be overlapped and arranged to generate a game screen.

  In the present embodiment, the layer screens GI-1, GI-2, and GI-3 are partitioned in a lattice pattern, and a character is placed in each lattice.

  FIG. 19B schematically shows each grid of each layer screen GI-1, GI-2, and GI-3. Then, parameters are set in each pixel unit (one pixel unit in the present embodiment) which constitutes each grid of the layer screens GI-1, GI-2, GI-3. Here, in each pixel unit of each layer screen GI-1, GI-2, and GI-3 (one pixel unit in this actual child form), values of “50”, “80”, and “100” are initial values of parameters. Are set respectively.

  When the player performs a virtual operation input for each pixel unit of each layer GI-1, GI-2, GI-3, the parameter of the pixel unit located in the virtual operation area is “n” (an integer equal to or greater than 1) per second. ) Are sequentially subtracted. When the parameter of the pixel unit of the first layer layer screen GI-1 is subtracted to 0, next, the value of the parameter of the corresponding pixel unit of the second layer layer screen GI-2 is sequentially subtracted from the initial value When the pixel unit parameter becomes 0, a subtraction process is performed in which the corresponding pixel parameter of the third layer screen GI-3 is sequentially subtracted.

  Therefore, when the player virtually inputs a limited portion of the input reception area IA for a long time, the parameters of the unit pixel of the portion are sequentially subtracted from the surface layer to the lower layer, and the deep layer is scratched. be able to.

Here, the value “n” to be subtracted when the player touches may be set individually according to the type of the player character PO and the enemy character OB used by the player in the battle, and the attribute of the player character PO to be used. And each layer screen GI-1, GI-2 and GI-3 are set to differ according to the attribute (area of sand, area of rock) assigned to each area of each layer, etc. You may

  Further, in the present embodiment, an example will be described in which when the player performs a virtual operation input in the input reception area IA, the parameter values of the unit pixels input by the virtual operation are sequentially subtracted, and the pixels are sequentially subjected to transparent processing accordingly. However, the scratch surface may be erased in units of “枡” constituting the input reception area IA. In this case, the total of the subtraction values of the parameters of the plurality of pixel units constituting the bag are obtained for each bag constituting the input reception area IA, and when the total exceeds a predetermined reference value, May be deleted. Then, a configuration may be adopted in which the sum of the initial values of the parameters of the entire pixel of the erased bag is adopted as the scratch amount.

  Further, in the present embodiment, even if only a given type of input is added as an operation input, depending on the type of player character PO to be used, the type of enemy character OB to attack, and the situation of the game. Good. For example, only the slide input in the horizontal direction may be accepted, or only the slide input in the vertical direction may be accepted. Further, depending on the situation, another type of touch input, for example, a touch input by a two-finger or three-finger operation, or another touch input may be accepted as an operation input. Specifically, the type, content, etc. of the scratch required for each match are displayed with icons, etc., and the number of scratch inputs, distance, direction, amount, input direction (swipe, touch, etc.) required for the match, for example. , The input width may be specified.

  FIG. 20 schematically shows a state in which a given area of each of the layer screens GI-1, GI-2, and GI-3 is scratched, and each of the areas 500 of the first layer screen GI-1 is shown. When the parameter in the pixel unit is subjected to subtraction processing to 0 by the operation input, this area 500 is removed by the transparency processing, and the area 610 of the next layer screen GI-2 appears.

  When the parameter of each pixel unit of the area 610, for example, in the area 610 is subtracted by the operation input to 0, the area 620 is removed by the transparency process, and the area of the next third layer layer screen GI-3 700 appears.

  Therefore, when the player virtually inputs a limited portion of the input reception area IA for a long time, the parameters of the unit pixel of the portion are sequentially subtracted from the surface layer to the lower layer, and the deep layer is scratched. be able to.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19A, a hidden item IT or the like is arranged in a predetermined place as needed between layers of the layer screen GI-1, GI-2, GI-3, It may be configured such that the player scratches the part and can find and acquire the item IT. Here, the case where bomb item IT is arranged as a hidden item on layer screen GI-2 is illustrated.

4.3-4 Process of Changing Values of Parameters of Character FIG. 21 shows an example of parameters of the player character PO, and FIG. 22 shows an example of parameters of the enemy character OB.

  As shown in FIG. 21, for the player character PO, parameters such as a physical strength value (HP), an attack power, a defense power, and the like are set for each character.

Further, as shown in FIG. 22, the enemy character OB has a physical strength value (HP) for each character,
Parameters such as attack power and defense power are set.

  Here, parameters such as attack power and defense power are used as battle parameters.

  In the present embodiment, processing is performed to change the value associated with the battle parameter of the player character PO to be used, based on the scratch amount input to the input reception area IA within the time limit. In the present embodiment, a change process is performed in which the value obtained by adding the input scratch amount to the value of the offensive power is used as the offensive power of the player character PO playing a match against the enemy character OB.

4.3-5 Battle using the value associated with the changed parameter And, in the battle, attack the enemy character OB existing in the input reception area IA using the changed attack power of the player character PO Do.

  This attack is executed by a battle process using the defense power of the enemy character OB and the changed attack power value of the player character PO. Here, the defense power of the enemy character OB and the player character PO are changed. This is executed by performing a comparison process that compares the attack power value. Specifically, the value of the attack power of the changed player character is compared with the value of the defense power of the target enemy character, and when the attack power exceeds the defense power, the difference value is determined as the enemy character. It is executed by performing a process of subtracting from the physical strength value HP of OB.

  The battle between the player character and the enemy character includes not only a one-on-one battle but also, for example, a deck-to-deck battle, a one-to-deck battle, and the like. In this case, the battle process is, for example, a battle process that uses a parameter value (for example, total value, integrated value, etc.) of a friendly deck and a parameter value (eg, total value, integrated value, etc.) of an enemy deck. (Comparison processing, etc.) may be used. In addition, for example, a battle process may be used in which the outcome of the game is determined based on whether or not the value of the parameter of the deck of the team exceeds a predetermined value. In addition, in the battle between the player character and the enemy character, for example, when the value of the parameter of the player character or the value of the parameter of the friend deck satisfies a predetermined condition, an item which is advantageous for the battle is acquired and the battle is performed. It may be a battle process that enables the user to do what he wants.

  As described above, when the player character PO attacks the enemy character OB, it is extremely important for the battle to efficiently input and input the input reception area IA within the time limit to increase the attack power of the player character. It will be a thing.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the value of the attack power of the player character is increased according to the value of the operation input has been described as an example. On the contrary, a process of subtracting the value of the defense power of the enemy character is performed. Also good. Moreover, you may carry out combining both.

  Further, in this embodiment, the case where the value of the attack power parameter of the player to be used is not changed and the value obtained by adding the scratch amount to this is used for the battle is described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. Alternatively, the value of the parameter itself may be changed, and the value of the changed parameter may be used for the battle. For example, as described above, a value that reflects the scratch amount may be simply added to the original attack parameter value to obtain a new attack parameter value, or the original parameter value may reflect the scratch amount. The value converted in step 1 may be used as a new attack power parameter value. Further, the present invention is not limited to changing the parameters that are the targets of the battle process, and values associated with other parameters that affect the parameters that are the targets of the battle process may be changed.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the player character PO attacks the enemy character OB, the case where the player character PO and the enemy character OB are in a one-on-one battle is described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. One-to-multiple, multiple-to-multiple, deck-to-deck battles may be used.

4.3-6 Game Wins and Loss As described above, in this embodiment, the process in which the player character PO attacks the enemy character OB is one unit, and the process in which the enemy character OB attacks the player character PO is one unit. The battle game progresses with one unit as one turn (game progress unit).

  Then, in this competition game, the total of the physical strength values of all the player characters is compared with the total of the physical strength values of all the enemy characters, and the one whose total physical strength value reaches 0 earlier is the loser and the other is the winner. Judge to do. For example, if the stamina value of all the player characters PO becomes 0 before the stamina value of all the enemy characters OB appearing in one battle game becomes 0, it is determined that the player loses and the enemy character wins.

4.4 Flowchart Next, the flow of processing according to the present embodiment will be described using FIG.

  First, when the game is started and the first turn arrives (step S10), it is determined whether or not the turn is a player turn (step S12). If the turn is a player turn (Y in step S12), the player character is determined. Side attack processing is performed (step S20).

  If the turn is the turn of the enemy character (N in step S12), attack processing on the enemy character side is performed (step S30).

  Then, after step S20 or step S30, it is determined whether or not win / loss has been determined (step S40), and if win / loss has not been determined (N in step S40), the next turn is started (step S50). Return to step S12.

  The above processing is repeated until winning or losing is determined in step 40.

  Next, detailed processing of the attack processing on the player character side in step S20 will be described with reference to FIG.

  When the player's turn arrives (Y in step S12), the player character PO used in the turn is specified (step S100).

  In the present embodiment, the player's deck is composed of first to fourth player characters PO1, PO2, PO3, and PO4. Then, the order of the player characters PO used for the attack is uniquely identified from the display of the attacking turn display gauge KG.

  For example, in the scene shown in FIG. 13, the first player character PO1 is specified as the player character PO used in the turn, and the player character PO1 is highlighted on the screen.

  In this state, six enemy characters OB are displayed on the game screen GI shown in FIG. 13, and the player selects any one of them (step S110).

For example, when the enemy character OB1 at the center of the screen is selected as an attack target by a touch operation, the reception area IA1 for operation input is displayed so as to include the selected enemy character OB1 (step S112) ). Here, a cross-shaped reception area IA1 including an enemy character OB1 composed of four squares is displayed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14, a timer gauge TG is displayed above the battle area BA, and the enemy character OB1 is selected as an attack target by touch operation, and at the same time the timer is started, countdown display is started, and operation It is notified that the acceptance of input has started (step S114). Then, when the timer ends and the countdown display becomes 0, the reception of the operation input is ended (step S118). That is, the operation input is accepted within a given set time (time limit) in which the timer gauge TG is displayed (step S116).

  Therefore, it is necessary for the player to scratch the reception area IA1 efficiently within this limited time limit. If all the reception area IA1 can be scratched and all the areas on the layer screen GI-1 of the first layer can be removed, parameter conversion can be realized which exhibits the maximum attack power.

  A scratch gauge SG is displayed above the battle area BA, and the amount of scratch input at the time limit is displayed in real time.

  When the acceptance of the operation input is completed in step S118, a process of changing a value associated with the battle parameter of the player character PO to be used is performed based on the scratch amount input to the input acceptance area IA within the time limit (step S118). S120). In the present embodiment, a change process is performed in which the value obtained by adding the input scratch amount to the value of the offensive power is used as the offensive power of the player character PO playing a match against the enemy character OB.

  Next, the enemy character OB present in the input reception area IA is attacked using the changed attack power of the player character PO.

  This attack is executed by performing a comparison process that compares the defense value of the enemy character OB with the changed attack value of the player character PO as a battle process (step S122). Specifically, the value of the attack power of the changed player character is compared with the value of the defense power of the target enemy character, and when the attack power exceeds the defense power, the difference value is determined as the enemy character. It is executed by performing a process of subtracting from the physical strength value HP of OB.

  In this way, one attack turn is completed (step S122).

  FIG. 15 is a game screen when the player's next attacking turn arrives (Y in step S12) and the second player character PO2 is used as an attacking character.

  In this state, when the player selects the enemy character OB2 at the top of the screen as an attack target by a touch operation, a new operation input acceptance area IA2 is displayed so as to include the selected enemy character OB2. Here, an L-shaped reception area IA2 composed of four squares having a shape and a size associated with the second player character PO2 is displayed. The reception area IA2 is arranged so as to include both the enemy character OB1 selected this time and the enemy character OB2 selected last time.

  Then, the reception of the operation input is started simultaneously with the selection of the enemy character OB2, and the player is required to efficiently scratch the reception area IA2 within the limited time limit.

  At this time, when the reception area IA2 is scratched and the first layer screen GI-1 is removed, as shown in FIG. 16, the bomb item IT hidden in the layer screen GI-1 on the screen (FIG. 19). The bomb item IT) shown in (A) appears, and the player can acquire it. The bomb item IT exerts a function to increase the attack power on the enemy character OB2 as shown in FIG.

  Also, an effect in which both the first player character PO1 used as the character for the previous attack and the second player character PO2 for the current attack appear in the new operation input reception area IA2 May be generated with a given probability, in which case a series of consecutive attacks (combos) of the first player character PO1 and the second player character PO2 that is the character for the current attack is generated. , Attack power may be increased.

  FIG. 18 is a game screen when the player's next attacking turn arrives (Y in step S12) and the third player character PO3 is used as a character for attack. In the figure, the state in which the scratch surface is deeply scratched across multiple layers is illustrated.
