2. Next, the method of this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

2-1. Outline of Game The game system of the present embodiment is configured to execute a game (music game) in which a player performs operation input in accordance with music.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen (game image) generated by the game system of the present embodiment. The game screen GI is displayed on the display unit 190 (touch panel) of the terminal 10, and the player can perform an operation input by performing an operation (touch operation) for bringing a fingertip, a touch pen, or the like into contact with the touch panel.

On the game screen GI, a plurality of objects OB (OB ₁ , OB ₂ , OB _{3 in the} example shown in FIG. 4) for instructing the timing and type of operation input to the player are displayed. Note that the object OB may be referred to as an instruction sign or a musical note. The plurality of arc-shaped objects OB occur (appear) at the appearance position AL, and move at a constant speed toward the arc-shaped reference position SL while spreading concentrically. Each object OB moves so as to reach the reference position SL at a reference timing for each object OB determined in advance according to the music data being reproduced.

Of the objects OB, the object OB ₁ is for instructing a tap operation (an operation for releasing the fingertip that is in contact with the touch panel within a predetermined time without moving it), and the object OB ₂ to which an arrow is added is a swipe operation. (Operation of moving the fingertip in contact with the touch panel and then releasing it within a predetermined time). Also, the object OB ₃ the diagonal pattern is added between two adjacent objects OB is an indication of long tap operation (operation away after a predetermined time has elapsed without moving the fingertip in contact with the touch panel). More particularly, the object OB ₃ are first (traveling direction front side) the object OB ₃ from reaching the reference position SL 2 nd (in the traveling direction rear side) the object OB ₃ is the reference position It is instructed to perform a long tap operation until reaching SL.

  On the game screen GI, a plurality of character PCs constituting the player's deck are displayed one by one in a random order at predetermined intervals. Here, any one of the nine characters making up the deck is displayed randomly every 5 seconds. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the character “A” is displayed among the plurality of characters PC configuring the deck.

The player can obtain a high evaluation by performing a touch operation at an arbitrary position on the game screen GI in accordance with the timing at which the object OB reaches the reference position SL. In other words, the smaller the difference between the timing at which the object OB reaches the reference position SL (reference timing) and the touch operation timing (input timing), the higher the obtained evaluation value. For example, when the shift amount D of the input timing and the reference timing is equal to or less than a predetermined value T ₁ is higher evaluation value is evaluated as operations on objects OB is successful is obtained, the deviation amount D is larger than the predetermined value T ₁ In this case, it is evaluated that the operation has failed and a low evaluation value is obtained. Further, when the deviation amount D is equal to or less than the predetermined value T ₂ (T ₂ <T ₁ ), the operation is evaluated as being very successful and the highest evaluation value is obtained. When it is evaluated that it is a great success, an effect image representing “Excellent” is displayed, and when it is evaluated as successful, an effect image indicating “Good” is displayed, and when it is evaluated that it has failed The effect image representing “Bad” is displayed on the game screen GI.

In addition, the player can obtain a higher game score (score) by performing a touch operation of the type (operation type) indicated by the object OB than when performing a touch operation of a type different from the specified type. it can. For example, it is possible to obtain a high score by performing swiping at an arbitrary position in accordance with the timing at which the object OB ₂ reaches the reference position SL. Further, the long tap operation is started at an arbitrary position in accordance with the timing when the front object OB ₃ reaches the reference position SL, and the long tap operation is ended at the timing when the rear object OB ₃ reaches the reference position SL. You can get a high score.

  In addition, the higher the parameter (for example, ability value) of the plurality of characters constituting the deck, the higher the score obtained. For each character constituting the deck, three ability values corresponding to three attributes (“visual”, “dance”, “vocal” attributes) are set as ability values. The player can increase the ability value of the character by strengthening the character (for example, combining the character and the other character using the character as a base for synthesis and the other character as a material).

  The increase amount ΔS of the game score per operation when the player performs a touch operation is calculated by the following equation, for example.

ΔS = E × C × P (1)
Here, E is an evaluation value of the timing of the touch operation, and is a value that becomes larger as the difference between the input timing and the reference timing is smaller. C is a coefficient that varies depending on the type of touch operation of the player (increases as the difficulty of the touch operation increases). For example, C is 1.1 for a tap operation and 1 for a swipe operation. .2 and 1.3 for a long tap operation. Note that if the type of touch operation of the player does not match the type of touch operation indicated by the object OB, the coefficient C is 1.0. P is a total value of parameters (ability values) of a plurality of characters constituting the deck. Each game stage (music) has one of three attributes (“visual”, “dance”, “vocal” attributes), and P is a play value among the three ability values of a plurality of characters. It is a total value of ability values corresponding to the attributes of the game stage (music) in the middle.

If the player starts the game, it performs an operation of selecting the "game start" button BT ₁ in the game screen GI (menu screen) shown in FIG. If "Game Start" button BT ₁ is selected, transition to a game screen GI shown in FIG. 6 (stage selection screen). A list of a plurality of game stages ST that can be selected by the player is displayed on the game screen GI shown in FIG. Each game stage is set with music data to be played and difficulty level. In the example illustrated in FIG. 6, the music “A” is reproduced at the stages “1” and “2”, and the music “B” is reproduced at the stages “3” and “4”. In addition, information of a plurality of objects OB (reference timing for each object OB) is set for each game stage. In the game stage with a high difficulty level set, more objects OB appear than in the game stage with a low difficulty level set. For example, in stages “1” and “2”, a plurality of objects related to the same musical piece “A” appear, but in stage “2” having a higher difficulty level, there are more than in stage “1” having a lower difficulty level. The object OB is set to appear.

  When the player selects an arbitrary game stage ST on the game screen GI shown in FIG. 6, the game screen GI as shown in FIG. 4 is transitioned to and the music data corresponding to the selected game stage ST is reproduced and selected. A music game is started in which a plurality of objects OB corresponding to the game stage ST move according to the reference timing set for each object OB.

2-2. Comment input (first method)
A player can input a comment to be displayed during game play at a designated game stage at each terminal 10 (the terminal of another player). Here, the player uses the first method for inputting a comment by specifying an object OB, and the second method for inputting a comment by specifying a game situation (evaluation result of an operation on a series of objects OB). Can be entered. By inputting a comment using the first method, the comment can be displayed in association with the specified object OB. By inputting a comment using the second method, the comment is displayed in association with the specified game situation. be able to.

If you enter a comment by the first approach, the player performs an operation of selecting the "comment input (note designation)" button BT ₂ on the menu screen (see FIG. 5). When the “comment input (note designation)” button BT ₂ is selected, the screen shifts to the stage selection screen (see FIG. 6). When the player selects (designates) an arbitrary game stage ST for which a comment is desired to be input on the stage selection screen, the screen transitions to the same game screen GI (see FIG. 7) as during game play, and the selected game stage ST The reproduction of the corresponding music data and the display (appearance and movement) of the object OB are started. Here, when a game stage is selected in the first method, a replay image (playback of music corresponding to the game stage and display control of a plurality of objects OB) when the player has played the game stage in the past. May be generated and a moving image in which an effect image corresponding to the evaluation of the player's operation is displayed may be generated and displayed.

The player can specify the object OB by performing a touch operation (tap operation) for selecting an arbitrary object OB among the plurality of objects OB moving toward the reference position SL on the game screen GI. As shown in FIG. 7, when the player performs an operation of designating any one of the plurality of objects OB, the reproduction of the music data and the movement of the object OB are paused, and as shown in FIG. A comment input area CA for inputting is displayed in association with the designated object OB. In the example shown in FIG. 8, since the object OB ₂ is designated, the comment input area CA is displayed in the vicinity of the object OB ₂ .

The comment input area CA includes a plurality of input areas CA _{1 to} CA ₅ . The input areas CA ₂ and CA ₃ are areas for designating display conditions and inputting comments. Input area CA ₂ is an area that specifies that the touch operation for the specified object OB is successful (deviation of the reference timing of the specified object OB and the input timing is equal to or less than the predetermined value T ₁₎ as a display condition , input area CA ₃ is a region where touch operation for the specified object OB has failed to specify a display condition (displacement of the reference timing and the input timing of the specified object OB is ₁ greater than a predetermined value T) that . The input areas CA ₄ and CA ₅ are areas for specifying a display timing and inputting a comment. The input area CA ₄ is an area for designating a timing earlier than the reference timing of the designated object OB, and the input area CA ₅ is an area for designating a timing later than the reference timing of the designated object OB. The input area CA ₁ is an area for inputting a comment without specifying display conditions or display timing.

When the player performs a tap operation to select _one of the input areas CA _{1 to} CA ₅ , a text input GUI (for example, a software keyboard) is displayed on a part of the game screen GI, and a comment for the selected input area is displayed. Input is possible.

For example, comment input region CA ₁ is when it is entered, during game play, the comment is displayed at a timing specified object OB reaches the reference position SL (reference timing).

Moreover, if a comment is inputted in the input area CA _2, during game play, the comment is displayed only when the touch operation for the specified object OB is successful at the reference timing of the object OB. Moreover, if a comment is inputted in the input area CA _3, during game play, the comment is displayed only when the touch operation for the specified object OB has failed at the reference timing of the object OB.

Also, when the comment input area CA ₄ is inputted, during game play, the comment is displayed at an earlier timing than the reference timing of the specified object OB. Also, when the comment input area CA ₅ is entered, during game play, the comment is displayed at a later timing than the reference timing of the specified object OB.

In the example shown in FIG. 8, the comment “Swipe operation” is input to the input area CA ₁ and the comment “Like” is input to the input area CA ₂ , so that during the game play of the designated game stage. , the reference timing of the object OB _2, comments "it's swipe operation" is displayed, also, in the case where a touch operation on the object OB ₂ is successful, so that the comment: "I say!" is displayed.

  When the player performs an operation of selecting the “OK” button in the comment input area CA, the comment input area CA is deleted from the game screen GI, and the reproduction of the music data and the movement of the object OB are resumed. As described above, the player can repeatedly perform an operation of designating an arbitrary object OB (and display conditions and display timing) and inputting a comment on the designated game stage.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the player performs a tap operation to sequentially select a series (a plurality of adjacent objects) OB among a plurality of objects OB moving toward the reference position SL, thereby performing the series. The object OB can be specified. When the player performs an operation for designating a series of objects OB, the reproduction of the music data and the movement of the objects OB are paused, and a comment input area CA for inputting a comment is designated as shown in FIG. Displayed in association with a series of objects OB.

In the example shown in FIG. 10, since a series of four objects OB ₁ is selected, a comment input area CA is displayed in the vicinity of the four objects OB ₁ . In addition, in the example shown in Figure 10, is input to the input area CA ₂ Comments "great!" Is, in the input area CA ₄ comment: "Here'm difficult" has been input. In this case, during the game play of the designated game stage, before the four objects OB ₁ reach the reference position SL, the comment “It is difficult here” is displayed, and the touch operation for the four objects OB ₁ is 4 The comment “Terrible!” Will be displayed when there are consecutive successes.

  A comment input by the player using the first technique is stored in the storage unit 170 as first comment information in association with the designated game stage, object, display condition, and timing.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of the first comment information. The first comment information 300 includes a stage ID 310 for specifying the specified game stage, an object ID 320 for specifying the specified object OB, an input comment 330 (text data), and a specified It includes a condition code 340 for specifying a display condition, a timing code 350 for specifying a specified display timing, and date / time information 360 indicating the date / time when a comment is input.

Here, if the success of the touch operation as a display condition of the comments are specified (comment is input in the input area CA _2), the condition code 340 of the comments touch as "1", the display condition comments If the failure of the operation is specified (comment is input in the input area CA _3), the condition code 340 of the comment is "2".

Moreover, early timing as a display timing of the comments are specified (comment is input in the input area CA ₄₎ case, the timing code 350 of the comments "1", the late timing specified as display timing Comments It has been (comment is input in the input area CA ₅₎ when the timing code 350 of the comment is "2".

If the comment display condition is not specified (the comment is input to any of the input areas CA ₁ , CA ₄ , and CA ₅ ), the comment condition code 340 is “0”, and the comment When the display timing is not specified (a comment is input to any of the input areas CA _{1 to} CA ₃ ), the timing code 350 of the comment is “0”.

For example, the player specifies the stage "1", by specifying the object OB of the object ID "004", if you enter a comment "Likes" in the input area CA _2, as shown in FIG. 11, The input comment “Like” is stored in the first comment information 300 in association with the stage ID “1”, the object ID “004”, the condition code “1”, and the timing code “0”. In addition, the player specifies the stage "1", by specifying a series of four objects OB of the object ID "011" - "014", if you enter a comment "here'm difficult" in the input area CA ₄ As shown in FIG. 11, the input comment “This is difficult” corresponds to the stage ID “1”, the object IDs “011” to “014”, the condition code “0”, and the timing code “1”. In addition, it is stored in the first comment information 300.

2-3. Comment input (second method)
When inputting a comment by the second method, the player performs an operation of selecting a “comment input (situation designation)” button BT ₃ on the menu screen (see FIG. 5). When the “comment input (situation designation)” button BT ₃ is selected, a transition is made to the stage selection screen (see FIG. 6).

  When the player selects (designates) an arbitrary game stage ST for which a comment is desired to be input on the stage selection screen, the screen transitions to a game screen GI (game situation selection screen) shown in FIG. A list of a plurality of game situations GS (display conditions for displaying comments) that can be selected (designated) by the player is displayed on the game screen GI shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 12, the game situation GS of “10 consecutive combo achievement” indicates that the touch operation for 10 series of objects OB has succeeded (the touch operation for object OB has succeeded 10 times in succession). The game situation GS “designated as a situation (display condition),“ failed after 10 combos are achieved ”is a touch on a subsequent object OB after a successful touch operation on a series of 10 objects OB. This is for designating that the operation has failed as a game situation. The same applies to the game situation GS of “20 consecutive combos achieved” and the game situation GS of “failed after achievement of 20 consecutive combos”.

  The player can specify the game situation GS by performing a touch operation to select an arbitrary game situation GS from among the plurality of game situations GS. When the player performs an operation of designating the game situation GS, as shown in FIG. 13, a comment input area CA for inputting a comment is displayed in association with the designated game situation GS. In the example shown in FIG. 13, since the game situation GS of “20 consecutive combo achievement” is selected, the comment input area CA is displayed in association with the game situation GS.

When the player performs a touch operation to select the comment input area CA, a text input GUI is displayed on a part of the game screen GI, and a comment can be input to the comment input area CA. In the example shown in FIG. 13, since the comment “celebration 20th consecutive combo achievement” is input in the comment input area CA, the touch operation on the object OB succeeds 20 times continuously during the game play of the designated game stage. In this case, a comment “celebration 20th consecutive combo achievement” is displayed.

  When the player performs an operation of selecting the “OK” button in the comment input area CA, the comment input area CA is deleted from the game screen GI, and the player designates an arbitrary game situation GS in the designated game stage. You can repeatedly enter comments.

  The comment input by the player using the second technique is stored in the storage unit 170 as second comment information in association with the designated game stage and game situation (display condition).

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of second comment information. The second comment information 400 includes a stage ID 410 for identifying the designated game stage, an inputted comment 420 (text data), and a situation for identifying the designated game situation (comment display condition). It includes a code 430 and date / time information 440 indicating the date / time when the comment is input.

  Here, when “10-combo combo achievement” is designated as the game situation, the status code 430 is “1”, and when “10-combo achievement after failure” is designated as the game situation, the situation code 430 is designated. Becomes “2”, when “20 consecutive combo achievement” is designated as the game situation, the status code 430 becomes “3”, and when “20 failure after achieving 20 consecutive combo” is designated as the game situation. The status code 430 is “4”.

  For example, when the player designates the stage “1”, designates the game situation “20 consecutive combo achievement”, and inputs the comment “celebration 20 consecutive combo achievement”, as shown in FIG. The comment “celebration 20 consecutive combo achievement” is stored in the second comment information 400 in association with the stage ID “1” and the situation code “3”.

2-4. Distribution and Display of Comments Comment information (first comment information and second comment information) stored in the storage unit 170 of the terminal 10 is transmitted to the server 20. The storage unit 272 of the server 20 stores (accumulates) comment information transmitted from each terminal 10.

  FIG. 15A and FIG. 15B are diagrams illustrating examples of the first comment information 500 and the second comment information 600 stored in the storage unit 272. The first comment information 500 stored in the storage unit 272 further includes a player ID 570 for identifying the player who has input the comment 530, and the second comment information 600 is for identifying the player who has input the comment 620. The player ID 650 is further included. The processing unit 200 refers to the date and time information 560 and 640 and deletes data corresponding to the comment for which a predetermined period has elapsed from the first and second comment information 500 and 600. In addition, the processing unit 200 refers to the comments 530 and 620 and deletes data corresponding to a comment including a predetermined keyword from the first and second comment information 500 and 600.

In the terminal 10, the player selects the "game start" button BT ₁ on the menu screen (Fig. 5), performs an operation to specify a game stage ST in the stage selection screen (FIG. 6) to identify the given stage Request information including the stage ID is transmitted to the server 20. When receiving the request information from the terminal 10, the comment distribution unit 212 receives data (object ID 520, comment 530, condition code 540, timing code) corresponding to the stage ID included in the received request information from the first comment information 500. 550, player ID 570) is extracted, and the extracted data is transmitted to the terminal 10 as first comment information corresponding to the designated game stage, and data corresponding to the stage ID from the second comment information 600. (Comment 620, situation code 630, player ID 650) is extracted, and the extracted data is transmitted to the terminal 10 as second comment information corresponding to the designated game stage.

  Upon receiving the comment information from the server 20, the terminal 10 that has transmitted the request information executes the game at the designated game stage. Then, referring to the first comment information received from the server 20, when the evaluation result of the operation for the object OB specified by the object ID 520 satisfies the display condition specified by the condition code 540, the timing code 550 specifies The corresponding comment 530 is controlled to be displayed on the game screen GI at the timing. Further, referring to the second comment information received from the server 20, when the game situation specified by the situation code 630 is reached (the condition that the evaluation result of the operation on the series of objects OB is specified by the situation code 630). If the condition is satisfied, control is performed to display the corresponding comment 620 on the game screen GI.

16 to 18 show an example of the game screen GI on which the comment CM is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 16, the corresponding comment “Swipe operation” is displayed at the reference timing of the object OB specified by the object ID 520, and the evaluation result of the touch operation on the object OB is specified by the condition code 540. The corresponding comment “Like!” Is displayed because the display condition is satisfied (the operation was successful). The comment CM appears from the right end of the game screen GI in the drawing and moves toward the left in the drawing. In the example illustrated in FIG. 17, the comment “This is difficult here” is the timing at which the series of objects OB ₁ identified by the object ID 520 is identified by the timing code 550 (timing earlier than the reference timing of the series of objects OB ₁ ). Yo ”is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 18, the game situation specified by the situation code 630 is reached (the touch operation on the object OB has succeeded 20 times in succession), so the corresponding comment “celebration 20 consecutive combo achievement” is displayed. Has been. Note that instead of or in addition to displaying the comment on the game screen GI, the comment may be output by voice using an automatic reading (speech synthesis) engine.

  According to the present embodiment, the player designates the game stage and the object OB (one or a series of objects OB) by the first method and inputs a comment, so that each terminal 10 can specify the game stage specified. A comment input in association with a designated object OB can be displayed during game play, and communication between players suitable for a game in which operation input is performed in accordance with the timing instructed by the object OB can be achieved. Further, the player can display the input comment according to the evaluation result of the operation of the other player on the specified object OB in each terminal 10 by further specifying the display condition and inputting the comment. A comment suitable for the operation evaluation result for the specific object OB can be input and displayed. Further, the player can display the input comment at the specified timing on each terminal 10 by further specifying the display timing and inputting the comment.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the player designates the game stage and the game situation by the second method and inputs a comment, so that each player 10 can play another player during the game play of the designated game stage. The input comment can be displayed according to the evaluation result of the operation, and a comment suitable for the game situation can be input and displayed.

2-5. In addition, in this embodiment, the evaluation result of the player's operation input for each object OB in the game stage is stored in the storage unit 170 (or the storage unit 272) for each game stage as a play history, and based on the play history. Thus, the display condition and game situation that can be specified by the player may be limited.

For example, when the player designates the game stage and the object OB by the first method, and the player has failed in the past for the operation on the object OB at the game stage, the object OB is designated and input. Specifying “success” as a comment display condition (input of a comment to the input area CA ₂ ) is restricted, and only when the player has successfully operated the object OB in the game stage in the past. “Success” may be designated as Further, when the player designates the game stage by the second method, it is possible to designate only the game situation that the player has achieved in the past in the game stage (for example, “10 consecutive combo achievement”) among the plurality of game situations. The game situation that the player has not achieved in the game stage (for example, “20 consecutive combo achievement”) may be restricted.

  In the present embodiment, the number of comments (number of objects OB and game situations that can be specified) that can be input by the player in accordance with the play history (including the player's past game score and the number of times played) at the specified game stage. ) Or the upper limit of the number of characters per comment may be limited. For example, the upper limit of the number of comments and characters that can be input in the stage may be increased as the past highest score in the designated game stage is higher or the number of times the designated game stage is played is increased.

  In the present embodiment, the second method may be configured such that the type of the character PC can be specified as the game situation. In this case, each terminal 10 determines that the designated game situation has been reached when the designated type of character PC is displayed on the game screen GI during the game play of the designated game stage, and the character PC A corresponding comment may be displayed at the timing when is displayed. In this way, the player can input and display a comment suitable for a specific type of character. In the present embodiment, as a game situation, a condition relating to a game score at the time when a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of game play (for example, the game score is higher / lower than the score at the same time of the ranking leaders) You may comprise.

  In the present embodiment, when the server 20 extracts data from the first and second comment information 500 and 600 according to the request information, the player IDs 570 and 650 and information for specifying the friend relationship between the players , Data corresponding to a player who has a friend relationship with the player of the terminal 10 that transmitted the request information (comments, display conditions, etc. input by the player having a friend relationship) are preferentially extracted, and the extracted data May be configured to be transmitted to the terminal 10. In this way, it is possible to preferentially display a comment input by another player who has a friend relationship with the player on the game screen GI.

  In this embodiment, when a comment is displayed on the terminal 10, a comment input by another player who has a friend relationship with the player of the terminal 10 is a comment input by another player who has no friend relationship with the player. You may comprise so that it may display on the game screen GI in a different aspect. For example, a comment input by another player who has a friend relationship may be displayed in a larger size than the other comment, or may be displayed in a color different from that of the other comment. In addition, a nickname of another player may be added to a comment input by another player who has a friend relationship.

In the present embodiment, when a comment is displayed on the terminal 10, the display mode of the comment may be changed according to the player's play history (operation evaluation result) at the game stage being played. For example, a comment is displayed in a small size (or inconspicuous color) at a place where the player has failed last time, and a comment is displayed in a normal or large size (or in a conspicuous color) at a place where the player has succeeded last time. May be. In addition, data may be extracted on the server 20 side so that a comment with a small number of characters is displayed at a place where the player has failed last time and a comment with a large number of characters is displayed at a place where the player has succeeded last time.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the terminal 10 may be configured to be able to input an evaluation (for example, a two-step evaluation of pass / fail) for each displayed comment and to transmit information related to the input evaluation to the server 20. . In this case, the server 20 totals the evaluation of each comment based on the received information, and transmits the total result of each comment to the terminal 10 together with the comment information. The terminal 10 displays a comment with a high evaluation in a large size (or a conspicuous color) and a comment with a low evaluation in a small size (or a conspicuous color) based on the received counting result. Moreover, when extracting data in the server 20, a process of preferentially extracting a comment with a high evaluation may be performed based on the total result of each comment. Further, the server 20 may perform a process of granting a privilege (game medium, in-game currency, etc.) to a player who has input a highly evaluated comment based on the result of counting each comment.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when data is extracted in the server 20, referring to the player information, another player who has set the same deck as the deck set by the player of the terminal 10 that transmitted the request information is input. Processing for extracting comments preferentially may be performed, and comments input by the player of the terminal 10 that transmitted the request information and other players with the same game level (highest score or average score) or game level are given priority. You may perform the process extracted to.

  In this embodiment, the terminal 10 displays a comment in a specific display mode (for example, a display mode that shines in a bright color) at random or at a predetermined timing, and the comment in this specific display mode is displayed. In the meantime, when the player's operation obtains a predetermined evaluation (for example, “very successful” evaluation) a predetermined number of times, the mode may be shifted to a mode in which the game score per operation increases.

3. Processing Next, an example of processing of the game system of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing a flow of comment input processing by the first method in the terminal 10. When the player performs an operation input for designating (selecting) a game stage (Y in step S10), the music reproducing unit 110 starts reproduction of music data corresponding to the designated game stage (step S12), and displays it. The control unit 111 performs display control for moving the object OB toward the reference position SL according to the reference timing for each object OB set in association with the designated game stage (step S14).

  Next, the comment receiving unit 114 determines whether or not there has been an operation input for designating the object OB (step S16). If there is no operation input (N in step S16), the process proceeds to step S26. If there is an operation input (Y in step S16), the music playback unit 110 stops playback of music data (step S18), and the display control unit 111 stops object movement control (step S20). ).

Next, the comment receiving unit 114 determines whether or not there is an operation input for inputting a comment (and specifying a display condition and a timing condition) (step S22), and when there is the operation input (in step S22). In Y), the input comment is changed to the game stage specified in step S10, the object OB specified in step S16, and step S22.
The storage unit 170 performs control to store the first comment information 300 in association with the display condition and the timing condition specified in (Step S24).

  Next, the processing unit 100 determines whether or not the reproduction of the music data is finished (step S26). When the reproduction of the music data has not ended (N in Step S26), the music reproduction unit 110 resumes the reproduction of the music data (Step S28), and the display control unit 111 resumes the movement control of the object OB. (Step S14). And the process after step S14 is repeated until reproduction | regeneration of music data is complete | finished.

  When the reproduction of the music data is completed (Y in step S26), the communication control unit 115 transmits the first comment information 300 stored in the storage unit 170 to the server 20 (step S30).

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing a flow of comment input processing by the second method in the terminal 10. When the player performs an operation input for designating (selecting) a game stage (Y in step S40), the display control unit 111 performs control to display a list of a plurality of game situations (step S42).

  Next, the comment receiving unit 114 determines whether or not there has been an operation input for designating a game situation (step S44), and when there is an operation input (Y in step S44), an operation input for inputting a comment (Step S46), and if there is an operation input (Y in Step S46), the input comment is changed to the game stage specified in Step S40 and the game specified in Step S44. Control is performed to store the second comment information 400 in the storage unit 170 in association with the situation (step S48). If there is no operation input for designating a game stage (N in step S44) and there is no operation input for inputting a comment (N in step S46), the process proceeds to step S50.

  Next, the comment receiving unit 114 determines whether or not to continue the input of the comment (Step S50), and when it continues (Y in Step S50), the process proceeds to Step S44. When the comment input is not continued (N in Step S50), the communication control unit 115 transmits the second comment information 400 stored in the storage unit 170 to the server 20 (Step S52).

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing a flow of comment display processing in the terminal 10. When the player performs an operation input for designating (selecting) the game stage (Y in step S60), the communication control unit 115 transmits request information for identifying the designated game stage to the server 20 (step S62). The comment information (first and second comment information corresponding to the designated game stage) transmitted from the server 20 in response to the request information is received (step S64).

  Next, the music playback unit 110 starts playback of music data corresponding to the designated game stage (step S66), and the display control unit 111 sets each object OB set in association with the designated game stage. Display control is performed to move the object OB toward the reference position SL according to the reference timing (step S68).

Next, the evaluation unit 112 determines whether or not there is an operation input for tapping an arbitrary position on the game screen (step S70), and when there is the operation input (Y in step S70), the operation is performed. The input timing is acquired, the success or failure of the player's operation is evaluated based on the acquired input timing and the reference timing, and an evaluation value is calculated (step S72). If there is no operation input (N in step S70), the process proceeds to step S76. Next, the score calculation unit 113 calculates the increase amount ΔS according to the expression (1) based on the evaluation value, the type of operation input, and the parameters of a plurality of characters constituting the deck, and increases the increase amount to the current game score. ΔS is added to calculate a new game score (step S74).

  Next, the display control unit 111 refers to the first comment information received in step S64, and determines whether or not the object OB specified by the object ID 520 is displayed on the game screen GI (step S76). If the object OB is displayed (Y in step S76), it is determined whether the operation evaluation result (success / failure of the operation) for the object OB satisfies the display condition specified by the condition code 540. (Step S78) When the display condition is satisfied (Y in Step S78), control is performed to display the comment corresponding to the object OB at the timing specified by the timing code 550 (Step S80). When the object OB specified by the object ID 520 is not displayed (N in step S76) and when the display condition is not satisfied (N in step S78), the process proceeds to step S82.

  Next, the display control unit 111 refers to the second comment information received in step S64 to determine whether or not the game situation specified by the situation code 630 has been reached (step S82). When it becomes (Y of step S82), control which displays the comment corresponding to the said game situation is performed (step S84). When the game situation is not reached (N in Step S82), the process proceeds to Step S86.

  Next, the processing unit 100 determines whether or not the music data has been reproduced (step S86). If the music data has not been reproduced (N in step S86), the processing unit 100 proceeds to step S68 and reproduces the music data. Until the process is completed, the processes in and after step S68 are repeated.

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart illustrating the processing flow of the server 20. When the comment acquisition unit 210 receives the first and second comment information from the terminal 10 (Y in step S90), the comment acquisition unit 210 associates the received first comment information with the player ID of the player of the terminal 10 and stores the first comment information. The comment information 500 is stored in the storage unit 272, and the received second comment information is stored in the storage unit 272 as the second comment information 600 in association with the player ID of the player of the terminal 10 (step S92).

  Next, when receiving the request information for specifying the game stage from the terminal 10 (Y in step S94), the comment distribution unit 212 is specified by the received request information from the first and second comment information 500 and 600. The data corresponding to the game stage is extracted (step S96), and the extracted data is transmitted to the terminal 10 as the first and second comment information corresponding to the game stage (step S98).
