[Embodiment Implemented by Electronic Device]
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration of an electronic device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The electronic device 10 includes a processor 11, a display device 12, an input device 13, a storage device 14, and a communication device 15. Each of these components is connected by a bus 16. It is assumed that an interface is interposed between the bus 16 and each component device as necessary. In the present embodiment, the electronic device 10 is a smartphone. However, as long as the electronic device 10 has the above-described configuration, the electronic device 10 can be a terminal such as a tablet computer or a computer including a contact input device such as a touch pad.

  The processor 11 controls the operation of the entire electronic device 10. For example, the processor 11 is a CPU. Note that an electronic circuit such as an MPU may be used as the processor 11. The processor 11 executes various processes by reading and executing programs and data stored in the storage device 14. In one example, the processor 11 includes a plurality of processors.

  The display device (display) 12 displays an application screen or the like to the user (player) of the electronic device 10 under the control of the processor 11. A liquid crystal display is preferable, but a display using an organic EL, a plasma display, or the like may be used.

  The input device 13 is a user interface that receives an input from the user to the electronic device 10, and is, for example, a touch panel, a touch pad, a keyboard, or a mouse. In the present embodiment, since the electronic device 10 is a smartphone, the electronic device 10 includes a touch panel as the input device 13, the touch panel also functions as the display device 12, and the display device 12 and the input device 13 are integrated. . However, the display device 12 and the input device 13 may be in separate forms arranged at different positions.

  The storage device 14 is a storage device included in a general smartphone including a RAM that is a volatile memory and a ROM that is a nonvolatile memory. The storage device 14 can also include an external memory. For example, the storage device 14 stores a game application. The game application includes a game program for executing a game and various data referred to when the game program is executed. The game program is activated in response to a user operation on the electronic device 10 and is executed on an operating system (OS) installed in advance by the electronic device 10.

  In one example, the storage device 14 includes a main storage device and an auxiliary storage device. The main storage device is a volatile storage medium capable of reading and writing information at high speed, and is used as a storage area and a work area when the processor 11 processes information. The auxiliary storage device stores various programs and data used by the processor 11 when executing each program. The auxiliary storage device is, for example, a hard disk device, but may be any non-volatile storage or non-volatile memory as long as it can store information, and may be removable. The auxiliary storage device stores, for example, an operating system (OS), middleware, application programs, various data that can be referred to when these programs are executed.

  The communication device 15 exchanges data with other computers such as servers via a network. For example, the communication device 15 performs wireless communication such as mobile communication and wireless LAN, and connects to the network 2. In one example, the electronic device 10 downloads the program from the server by the communication device 15 and stores it in the storage device 14. However, the communication device 15 may perform wired communication using an Ethernet (registered trademark) cable or the like. The electronic device 10 does not have to include the communication device 15 when data transmission / reception is not performed with another computer.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of a functional block diagram of the electronic device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The electronic device 10 includes an input unit 31, a display unit 32, and a game control unit 33. The game control unit 33 includes an operation object control unit 34 and a player object control unit 35. In the present embodiment, these functions are realized by a program being executed by the processor 11. For example, the program to be executed is a game program stored in the storage device 14 or received via the communication device 15. Thus, since various functions are realized by reading a program, a part or all of one part (function) may be included in another part. However, these functions may also be realized by hardware by configuring an electronic circuit or the like for realizing part or all of each function.

  The input unit 31 is configured using the input device 13 and receives an input from the user to the electronic device 10. The electronic device 10 receives user input through the input unit 31. In this embodiment, a touch detection function that a smartphone including a touch panel generally has can be used.

  The display unit 32 displays a game screen including the game field 50 on the display device 12, and displays a game screen corresponding to the progress of the game and the user operation. The game control unit 33 performs basic control in executing the game of the present embodiment.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the game screen. The game control unit 33 sets the game field 50 as a virtual space for the progress of the game. In the game field 50, a player object 51, a collision target object 52, and an operation object 53 are arranged. The player object 51 is an object that moves in the game field 50, and the collision target object 52 and the operation object 53 are objects that can collide with the player object 51. The game according to the present embodiment includes a plurality of game fields 50, and the game control unit 33 can arrange the objects at different positions for each game field 50. FIG. 3 is an example of one game field 50.

  The game control unit 33 sets virtual gravity in the game field 50. Virtual gravity is a reproduction of a phenomenon similar to that in the real world in virtual space. The game control unit 33 performs physics calculation using mechanical parameters including virtual gravity and restitution coefficient. A known physics engine can be used for the physical calculation. The game control unit 33 sets mechanical parameters such as mass, shape, and coefficient of restitution for each of the player object 51, the collision target object 52, and the operation object 53. These parameters are predetermined by a game administrator or the like.

  The game screen shown in FIG. 3 is a screen displayed on the entire screen of the touch panel. The game field 50 is configured as a virtual space surrounded by a virtual wall 54. The game field 50 is preferably displayed over most of the entire screen, as shown in FIG. The position of the touch panel is designated by coordinates using a coordinate plane composed of a vertical axis direction and a horizontal axis direction. The game control unit 33 specifies a position in the game field 50 using the coordinates. The game control unit 33 sets the length of the game screen in the vertical axis direction and the horizontal axis direction to predetermined lengths, for example, 1920 pixels and 1080 pixels, and in the game field 50 regardless of the size of the touch panel and the screen resolution. The pixel value is used when specifying the distance or position. Hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, the “distance” is represented by a length in which a value of one pixel is a unit length. The specification of the position in the game field 50 is not limited to the above, and the game control unit 33 displays the game field 50 in a size corresponding to the size of the game screen on the touch panel having a different size or screen resolution. A known method capable of specifying the position of can be used.

  In the present embodiment, the player object 51 is an object corresponding to the player character as shown in FIG. 3, but is an object corresponding to a ball in a pinball game. Therefore, the player object 51 is an object that can move in the same manner as a ball. The game control unit 33 controls the movement so that the player object 51 moves according to the virtual gravity, and the player object 51 is accelerated in the direction of gravity under the influence of the virtual gravity.

  The player character associated with the player object 51 has a parameter corresponding to each player character, and the parameter is preset by a game administrator or the like. For example, the parameters include level, attack power, hit points, special abilities, and the like. However, the player object 51 can be an object composed of a plurality of characters or a simple ball object.

  The collision target object 52 is an object arranged in the game field 50 and is an object that affects the movement of the player object 51. In one example, the game control unit 33 performs a collision determination on the player object 51 and the collision target object 52. A known method can be used for the collision determination. Further, when the player object 51 and the collision target object 52 collide, the game control unit 33 performs a physical calculation related to a rebound action at the time of the collision, and determines the speed of the player object 51.

  Further, the collision target object 52 is an object corresponding to the enemy character, as shown in FIG. The enemy character associated with the collision target object 52 has a parameter corresponding to each enemy character in the same manner as the player character, and the parameter is preset by a game administrator or the like. In one example, when the player object 51 and the collision target object 52 collide, the game control unit 33 gives an additional effect different from the effect by the physical calculation to at least one of the player object 51 and the collision target object 52. For example, when the player object 51 and the collision target object 52 collide, the game control unit 33 determines that the player character associated with the player object 51 has damaged the enemy character associated with the collision target object 52. . At this time, the game control unit 33 changes the parameter of the enemy character such as reducing the hit points of the enemy character associated with the collision target object 52.

  In one example, the collision target object 52 is an object that is not affected by virtual gravity. In this case, the game control unit 33 can continuously arrange the collision target object 52 at a position where the game performance is higher. In one example, the collision target object 52 (enemy character) emits an attack object (not shown). The game control unit 33 determines that the player character has received damage when the player object 51 collides with the attack object. At this time, the game control unit 33 changes the parameter of the player character such as reducing the hit points of the player character associated with the player object 51.

  The collision target object 52 may be any object that can collide with the player object 51 and can collide with the player object 51. For example, the collision target object 52 may be an object such as a block or an obstacle arranged in the game field 50, or may be an object of a character other than the enemy arranged in the game field 50. The collision target object 52 may be an object that is affected by virtual gravity.

  The operation object 53 is an object operated by the user, and is a hitting ball object 53 corresponding to a flipper in a pinball game. As shown in FIG. 3, the operation object 53 is a pair of hitting ball objects 53. The pair of hitting ball objects 53 is configured to displace the other end side 53b up and down around the outer one end portion 53a. In one example, when the player object 51 and the hitting ball object 53 collide, the game control unit 33 performs a physical calculation related to a rebound action at the time of the collision, and determines the speed of the player object 51. Preferably, the game control unit 33 corrects the force and angle applied from the operation object 53 to the player object 51 in consideration of the user operability. The operation object 53 may be one hitting ball object 53, or may be three or more hitting ball objects 53.

  The operation object control unit 34 operates the operation object 53 based on the touch detected by the touch panel. Specifically, when the touch panel receives a touch, the operation object control unit 34 compares each other end side 53b of the hitting ball object 53 with the touch panel not detecting a touch as shown in FIG. To the upper predetermined position. The operation object control unit 34 holds the other end side 53b of the hitting ball object 53 at a predetermined position while the touch panel accepts a touch. The hit ball object 53 shown in FIG. 3 shows a state where the touch panel does not accept a touch. In one example, when the left hit ball object 53 is touched by the touch panel and enters the state shown in FIGS. 3 to 4, the operation object control unit 34 has the tip of the other end side 53b centered on the one end portion 53a. Control to displace counterclockwise by a predetermined distance or a predetermined angle. In one example, the operation object control unit 34 returns the other end side 53b of the hit ball object 53 to the original position shown in FIG.

  When the predetermined condition is satisfied, the player object control unit 35 increases the moving speed in the direction toward the target object 52 that is one of the collision target objects 52 with respect to the player object 51 based on the touch detected by the touch panel. give. In a preferred example, the player object control unit 35 gives a moving speed in a direction toward the target object 52 to the player object 51 when the touch panel detects a touch when a predetermined condition is satisfied. The predetermined condition is that the player object 51 is in a predetermined area in the game field 50. For example, the predetermined area is a hatched area 50a above a predetermined position in the game field 50 shown in FIG.

  The player object control unit 35 determines a target object based on the distance of the collision target object 52 to the player object 51 when the touch panel detects a touch, and gives a moving speed in the direction toward the determined target object 52. In a preferred example, the player object control unit 35 calculates the distances between all the collision target objects 52 arranged in the game field 50 and the player object 51 when a predetermined condition is satisfied. Thereafter, when the touch panel detects a touch, the player object control unit 35 determines the collision target object 52 having the smallest distance to the player object 51 as the target object 52. Note that the player object control unit 35 does not determine the target object 52 when the predetermined condition is not satisfied. As a result, the player object control unit 35 does not give a moving speed to the player object 51. Further, the player object control unit 35 may be configured to continue to determine the target object 52 regardless of the detection of the touch by the touch panel when the predetermined condition is satisfied. In this case, the player object control unit 35 gives a moving speed in a direction toward the target object 52 determined when the touch panel detects a touch.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the distance between the player object 51 and the collision target object 52. The center point (center point coordinates) of the player object 51 is P1, the collision determination radius is R1, the center point of the collision target object 52 is P2, and the collision determination radius is R2. At this time, the distance R between the player object 51 and the collision target object 52 is represented by R = | P1-P2 | -R1-R2.

  The direction in which the player object control unit 35 gives the moving speed is a predetermined position in the target object 52 above the center point of the target object 52 in a direction within a certain height range from the center point of the player object 51. It is the closest direction.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the direction in which the player object control unit 35 gives the moving speed. The center point position of the player object 51 is P1, the collision determination radius is R1, the center point position of the target object 52 is P2, and the collision determination radius is R2. A position that is a predetermined distance r higher than the center point of the target object 52 is defined as P3. For example, the predetermined distance r is predetermined to be 70% of R2. The direction in which the player object control unit 35 gives the moving speed is not P1 to P2, but a direction from P1 to P3.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a direction in which the player object control unit 35 gives a moving speed. When the height h of P3 with respect to P1 is larger than the predetermined value hmax, the direction in which the player object control unit 35 gives the moving speed is the direction from P1 to P4. In P4, the horizontal axis direction is the same as P2, and the vertical axis direction is a position higher than the player object 51 by a predetermined value hmax. The predetermined value hmax is a maximum value of the height component of the moving speed that can be given by the player object control unit 35, and is set to 50 pixels, for example.

  When the player object control unit 35 once gives the moving speed to the player object 51, for example, if a predetermined time elapses, the predetermined condition is satisfied, and the touch panel does not detect a touch, the player object control unit 35 newly Does not give the movement speed. As described above, when the touch panel detects a touch and gives a moving speed to the player object 51, the player object control unit 35 does not continuously give a moving speed by the detected touch.

  The magnitude of the moving speed given by the player object control unit 35 is constant. The speed of the player object 51 given the moving speed is a vector amount obtained by combining the speed (vector) and the moving speed (vector) before the moving speed is given. Accordingly, the player object control unit 35 gives a moving speed in the direction toward the target object 52, but the player object 51 may not collide with the target object 52. For example, when the distance between the player object 51 and the target object 52 is relatively large, the player object 51 is influenced by virtual gravity before reaching the target object 52 due to the moving speed given by the player object control unit 35. Fall.

  The player object control unit 35 decelerates the speed of the player object 51 before giving the moving speed to the player object 51. The player object control unit 35 decelerates the player object 51 by multiplying the speed of the player object 51 by a predetermined constant.

  The predetermined condition further includes that the player object 51 is not more than a predetermined speed. In one example, the predetermined condition further includes that the speed at which the player object 51 rises is equal to or less than a predetermined value.

  The player object control unit 35 sets a speed addition flag indicating whether or not the player object 51 can be given a moving speed. For example, the player object control unit 35 stores “0” in the off state and “1” in the on state in the area for storing the speed addition flag in the storage device 14. Set the speed addition flag. The player object control unit 35 gives the moving speed in the direction toward the target object 52 to the player object 51 based on the fact that the speed addition possible flag is on. That is, the player object control unit 35 does not give the moving speed unless the speed addition flag is in the on state. The predetermined condition may include that the speed addition flag is on. For example, the speed addition flag may be set to “1” when in the off state and “0” when in the on state.

  The speed addition flag is set to the on state in the initial state. When the player object control unit 35 gives a movement speed to the player object 51, the player object control unit 35 sets the speed addition flag to an off state. The game control unit 33 sets the speed addition flag to an on state when a predetermined time has elapsed. In one example, the game control unit 33 is configured to set the speed addition flag to an on state when a predetermined event occurs in the game field 50. The speed addition flag includes the concept of a speed addition impossible flag. In the case of the speed addition impossible flag, the player object control unit 35 gives the moving speed in the direction toward the target object 52 to the player object 51 based on the fact that the speed addition impossible flag is off. Further, a gauge can be used instead of the flag for the speed addition possible flag, and the player object control unit 35 can use the gauge value in correspondence with the on state and the off state of the speed addition flag. The elapsed time is calculated from the frame rate and the number of elapsed frames, for example.

  Next, an example of the game of this embodiment is demonstrated easily. The game control unit 33 causes the user to select one player character from the plurality of player characters as the player object 51. The player character is set with parameters such as level, attack power, hit points, and special abilities. The game control unit 33 displays a game screen including one game field 50 on the touch panel. In the game field 50, at least at the start of the game, a player object 51 corresponding to the player character, a collision target object 52 corresponding to the enemy character, and a pair of hitting ball objects 53 are arranged. The player object 51 moves in the game field 50 according to virtual gravity like a ball of a pinball game. The hitting ball object 53 is arranged below the gravity direction so that the falling player object 51 can be moved up and down around the one end 53a in response to a user operation.

  When the player object 51 corresponding to the player character collides with the collision target object 52 corresponding to the enemy character, the game control unit 33 determines that the player character has attacked the enemy character, and reduces the hit points of the enemy character. On the other hand, when the player object 51 corresponding to the player character collides with the attack object emitted by the collision target object 52 corresponding to the enemy character, the game control unit 33 determines that the player character has been attacked, and hit points of the player character Decrease.

  In the game field 50, a gap through which the player object 51 can pass is formed between the pair of hitting ball objects 53, and a hole 55 is formed in the lower part in the gravity direction. When the player object 51 falls into the hole 55, the game control unit 33 has a negative effect on the user, for example, by reducing the hit points of the player character. By setting the hit points of the enemy characters in the game field 50 to zero before the hit points of the player character become zero, the game control unit 33 determines that the user has cleared the game field 50, and the next The game field 50 is presented to the user.

  As described above, one of the purposes of the game of the present embodiment is to make the player object 51 correspond to the enemy character so that the player object 51 does not hit the attack object and does not fall into the hole 55. It is to hit 52.

  Next, information processing related to the control of the moving speed of the electronic device 10 (game system 1) with respect to the player object 51 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, a smart phone is used as the electronic device 10, but generally a frame rate such as 30 fps or 60 fps is set for the smart phone. The electronic device 10 preferably executes processing at regular intervals corresponding to the frame rate. This flowchart is executed as part of the main loop of the game program, for example.

  First, the electronic device 10 displays a game screen (step 101).

  In step 102, the electronic device 10 determines whether or not the player object 51 is within a predetermined area. If the player object 51 is within the predetermined area, the process proceeds to step 103. If the player object 51 is not within the predetermined area, the process proceeds to step 110, and returns to step 101 unless the game ends.

  In step 103, the electronic device 10 determines whether or not the ascending speed of the player object 51 is equal to or less than a predetermined value. When the rising speed of the player object 51 is equal to or lower than the predetermined value, the process proceeds to step 104. When the rising speed is less than the predetermined value, the process proceeds to step 110.

  In step 104, the electronic apparatus 10 determines whether or not the speed addition possible flag is on. When the speed addition flag is on, the process proceeds to step 105, and when the flag is off, the process proceeds to step 110.

  In step 105, the electronic apparatus 10 determines the collision target object 52 having the smallest distance to the player object 51 as the target object 52. At this time, the electronic apparatus 10 calculates the distances between all the collision target objects 52 arranged in the game field 50 and the player object 51, and determines the target object 52 using the calculation result. However, the electronic device 10 may perform the distance calculation process separately from this process.

  Next, in step 106, the electronic apparatus 10 determines whether the touch panel has detected a touch. If a touch is detected, the process proceeds to step 107. If a touch is not detected, the process proceeds to step 110.

  In step 107, the electronic apparatus 10 determines a direction in which a moving speed toward the target object 52 determined in step 105 is given. The direction of giving the moving speed is the direction from P1 to P3 when the height h of P3 with respect to P1 shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 is smaller than the default value hmax, and when the height h is larger than the default value hmax. The direction is from P1 to P4. In step 107, the electronic device 10 decelerates the speed of the player object 51 before giving the moving speed.

  In step 108, the electronic device 10 gives the player object 51 a speed in the direction determined in step 107 and having a predetermined constant magnitude.

  In step 109, the electronic apparatus 10 sets the speed addition possible flag to an off state, and the process returns to step 101 unless the game ends (step 110). When this process proceeds from step 102, 103, 104 to step 109, the electronic device 10 clearly indicates that the player object 51 cannot be given a moving speed, for example, by the player character sweating animation. May be.

  Note that the processing of each step in this flowchart is merely an example, and if the same result can be obtained, the processing order of each step may be changed, or in addition to or instead of the processing of each step. These processes may be executed. For example, the processing order of steps 102 to 104 can be switched, and the processing order of steps 105 and 106 can be switched.

  In one example, step 101 is a screen display step executed by the display unit 32. In one example, Step 105 to Step 109 are player object control steps executed by the player object control unit 35. In one example, when the touch panel detects a touch in step 106, the operation object control unit 34 executes an operation object control step (not shown) for operating the operation object 53 based on the touch detected by the touch panel.

  Next, functions and effects of the electronic device 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the present embodiment, the game control unit 33 moves (displaces) the hitting ball object 53 when the touch panel receives a touch, and when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the game control unit 33 is directed toward the target object 52 with respect to the player object 51. Give the moving speed to. The predetermined condition is that the player object 51 is in a region 50 a above a predetermined position in the game field 50.

  Here, in the game of the present embodiment, the player object 51 moves in the game field 50 according to virtual gravity like a ball of a pinball game. In a conventional game, changing the moving direction of the player object 51 by a user operation is realized only by moving the hitting ball object 53 and playing the player object 51 by a user operation. Therefore, when the player object 51 is in the area 50a, the user cannot perform an active user operation. With the configuration as in the present embodiment, when the player object 51 is in the area 50a, it is possible to give a moving speed to the player object 51 in the direction toward the target object 52. It becomes possible to enhance interest.

  If the area defined by the predetermined condition is an area apart from the hit ball object 53 in the game field 50 other than the area 50a, it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

  In the present embodiment, the magnitude of the moving speed given by the player object control unit 35 is constant. Accordingly, the player object control unit 35 gives a moving speed in the direction toward the target object 52, but the player object 51 may not collide with the target object 52. With such a configuration, the player object 51 can be reliably prevented from colliding with the target object 52 due to the moving speed given by the player object control unit 35. Accordingly, for example, the user needs to touch in consideration of the timing of collision with the target object 52 in addition to the timing of determining the target object 52, so that it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

  In the present embodiment, the player object control unit 35 decelerates the speed of the player object 51 before giving the moving speed to the player object 51. By adopting such a configuration, in this embodiment, when the speed of the player object 51 before the movement speed is given is high, the effect of the movement speed given by the player object control unit 35 can be further strengthened. Become.

  In the present embodiment, the predetermined condition further includes that the speed at which the player object 51 rises is a predetermined value or less. By adopting such a configuration, in this embodiment, for example, the player object 51 that is hit by the hitting ball object 53 and given a rising speed is given an excessive moving speed, thereby reducing the interest of the game. Can be prevented.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the player object control unit 35 gives the moving speed in the direction toward the target object 52 to the player object 51 based on the fact that the speed addition possible flag is on. With this configuration, in the present embodiment, when the player object 51 is in an area that satisfies the predetermined condition, the player object control unit 35 can continuously give a moving speed. It is possible to prevent the game from becoming less entertaining.

  In the present embodiment, the player object control unit 35 determines, as the target object 52, the collision target object 52 having the smallest distance to the player object 51 when the touch panel detects a touch. By adopting such a configuration, in this embodiment, it becomes easier to predict the direction in which the moving speed is given, and it is possible to provide operability that gives the moving speed in the direction intended by the user.

  In the present embodiment, the direction in which the player object control unit 35 gives the moving speed is such that the target object 52 above the center point of the target object 52 in a direction within a certain height range from the center point of the player object 51. The direction closest to the default position. Specifically, the direction in which the moving speed is given is the direction from P1 to P3 when the height h of P3 with respect to P1 shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 is smaller than the default value hmax, and the height h is the default value hmax. Is greater than P1 to P4. With this configuration, the player object control unit 35 can give a moving speed in the direction toward the target object 52 in consideration of the influence of virtual gravity. At the same time, the height component of the moving speed given by the player object control unit 35 is prevented from becoming larger than the predetermined value hmax, and the player object 51 is prevented from rising and moving against the user's will. It becomes possible. For example, in the case shown in FIG. 8, when the moving speed is given in the direction from P1 to P3, the horizontal axis component of the given moving speed is smaller than when the moving speed is given in the direction from P1 to P4. , You will be more influenced by virtual gravity. In the present embodiment, such a phenomenon can be prevented.

  The above-described effects are the same in other embodiments and examples unless otherwise specified.

[Embodiment realized by system]
FIG. 10 shows an example of the overall configuration of the game system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 10, the game system 1 includes a plurality of electronic devices 10 and a server 20, and the electronic device 10 and the server 20 are connected to a network 2 such as the Internet and can communicate with each other.

  The server 20 stores various programs such as a control program for controlling the progress of the online game and various data used in the game.

  In one example, the server 20 is configured to provide the electronic device 10 with a game application that can be executed on the electronic device 10. When the electronic device 10 executes the downloaded game application, the electronic device 10 transmits / receives data to / from the server 20 periodically or as necessary to advance the game. For example, the server 20 stores various setting information and history information necessary for a game executed in the electronic device 10. In this case, the electronic device 10 has the function of the game control unit 33.

  In one example, the server 20 is a web server and provides a game service to the electronic device 10. The electronic device 10 acquires HTML data for displaying a web page from the server 20, analyzes the acquired HTML data, and displays the web page. In this case, the server 20 that communicates with the electronic device 10 has the function of the game control unit 33.

  In one example, the game system 1 provides a game that can be played by a plurality of users in one game field 50. For example, the collision target object 52 can be an object operated by another user.

  In another embodiment of the present invention, a program that realizes the functions of the embodiment of the present invention described above and the information processing shown in the flowchart, or a computer-readable storage medium that stores the program may be used. In another embodiment, the function of the embodiment of the present invention described above and a method for realizing the information processing shown in the flowchart may be used. In another embodiment, a server that can supply a computer with a program that realizes the functions of the embodiment of the present invention described above and the information processing shown in the flowcharts can be used. In another embodiment, a virtual machine that realizes the functions of the embodiment of the present invention described above and the information processing shown in the flowchart may be used.

  A modification of the embodiment of the present invention will be described below. The modifications described below can be applied to any embodiment of the present invention by appropriately combining them as long as no contradiction arises.

  In one modification, the input device 13 of the electronic device 10 is a button, a keyboard, a mouse, or the like on a controller connected to the electronic device 10, and the electronic device 10 does not include a touch panel. In this case, the input unit 31 acquires operation information received by the input device 13 in accordance with a user operation. The presence or absence of input from the input device 13 corresponds to the presence or absence of touch detection on the touch panel when the electronic device 10 includes a touch panel.

  In one modification, priority information is set for the collision target object 52. The priority information may be one of the parameters corresponding to the enemy character. In this case, the player object control unit 35 determines the target object 52 based on the distance of the collision target object 52 to the player object 51 when the touch panel detects a touch and the priority information set for the collision target object 52. The moving speed is given in the direction toward the determined target object 52. For example, the player object control unit 35 is the collision target having the smallest value obtained by multiplying the distance of the collision target object 52 with respect to the player object 51 when the touch panel detects a touch by the priority information value set for the collision target object 52. The object 52 is determined as the target object 52.

  In one modification, the player object control unit 35 changes the magnitude of the moving speed given to the player object 51 corresponding to the player character in accordance with the parameter of the player character. Thereby, it becomes possible to improve the interest property of a game. The player object control unit 35 can also be configured to change the magnitude of the moving speed given to the player object 51 as the game progresses.

  In one modification, the player object control unit 35 does not decelerate the speed of the player object 51 before giving the moving speed to the player object 51. In one variation, the predetermined condition does not include that the player object 51 is below a predetermined speed.

  In one modified example, the game control unit 33 causes the player object 51 and the collision target object 52 to be in a predetermined period according to the parameters of the player character or enemy character associated with the player object 51 or the collision target object 52. The collision is not judged. At this time, the player object 51 penetrates the collision target object 52.

  In one modification, the game control unit 33 gives an additional effect based on the parameters set for the player object 51 when the player object control unit 35 gives the moving speed to the player object 51. The parameters set for the player object 51 are parameters that the player character associated with the player object 51 has, for example. For example, as an additional effect, the player object control unit 35 may prevent the game control unit 33 from performing a collision determination on the player object 51 and the collision target object 52 for a predetermined period after the movement speed is given. Character parameters can be set.

  In one modification, the game control unit 33 counts the number of times the player object 51 has collided with the collision target object 52 when the player object 51 is in the area 50a, and stores information corresponding to the number of collisions in the storage device. 14 stored. When the player object 51 moves out of the area 50a and collides with the hit ball object 53, the game control unit 33 gives a predetermined special effect different from the effect by the physical calculation based on the number of collisions. The predetermined special effect can be a collision range expansion or penetration effect of the player object 51 with respect to the collision target object 52. Alternatively, the predetermined special effect can be an increase in the attack power or special ability of the player character associated with the player object 51. Preferably, the game control unit 33 generates a predetermined special effect at the time of collision between the player object 51 and the hit ball object 53, and then disappears after a predetermined time has elapsed. When the game control unit 33 gives a predetermined special effect, the game control unit 33 resets the information corresponding to the number of collisions by returning it to an initial value (for example, zero). With this configuration, the user can actively give the player object 51 a moving speed, thereby increasing the number of collisions and obtaining a predetermined special effect. It is possible to enhance the interest of Note that the game control unit 33 may reset information corresponding to the number of collisions when the player object 51 falls into the hole 55 or when a predetermined event occurs in the game field 50.

  In one modification, the game control unit 33 does not set virtual gravity in the game field 50, and performs a physical calculation using a mechanical parameter including a restitution coefficient other than virtual gravity. For example, when only the restitution coefficient 1 is applied as a dynamic parameter, the game control unit 33 can move the player object 51 in the same manner as a ball in a break-up game.

  In the process or operation described above, a process or operation can be freely performed at a certain step as long as there is no inconsistency in the process or operation such as using data that should not be used at that step. Can be changed. Moreover, each Example described above is the illustration for demonstrating this invention, and this invention is not limited to these Examples. The present invention can be implemented in various forms without departing from the gist thereof.
