According to FIG. 18A, the knitting screen has a knitting character area TM2 and a candidate character area CH2. Below the candidate character area CH2, a “create room” button, an “enter room” button, and a “return” button are displayed. Of these, the "Create room" button is a button to start a game with yourself as the host, and the "Enter room" button is to enter the room created by the host as a guest and start the game Button.

  In the formation character area TM2, the five characters set in the second formation management table 306a shown in FIG. 9A are displayed in a scrollable manner. The order of the character is displayed above each character, and the group attribute of the character is displayed below each character.

  More specifically, three out of the five characters are displayed in formation character area TM2. In FIG. 18 (A), the order displayed above the left character indicates the next position, the order displayed above the central character indicates medium, and the order displayed above the right character is Indicates a vice general. Also, the group attribute displayed below the left character indicates the third year of ZZ high school, the group attribute displayed below the central character indicates the second year of WW high school, and displayed below the right character. The group attribute indicates YY high school 2nd year.

  In the candidate character area CH2, a plurality of characters set in the character management table 301 are displayed in a scrollable manner. When any one of the plurality of characters is touched, the group attribute and various parameters of the touched character are displayed at the lower end of the knitting character area TM2.

  More specifically, four of the plurality of characters are displayed in candidate character area CH2. FIG. 18A shows a state in which the leftmost character E2 is touched, and as a result, the group attribute and various parameters of the character E2 are displayed at the lower end of the knitting character area TM2.

  In step S32, it is determined whether or not an operation for changing the composition of the character (hereinafter, also referred to as a third operation) is performed based on an operation input to the touch screen 15. When any of the characters displayed in candidate character area CH2 is touched and the touch position is moved to the position of any of the main characters displayed in knitting character area TM2, it is determined that the third operation has been performed. You. In this case, the process proceeds to step S33, and the second composition management table 306a is updated.

  Specifically, the character touched on candidate character area CH2 is set in second composition management table 306a instead of the character displayed at the destination of the touch position. For example, when the character E2 displayed in the candidate character area CH2 is touched and the touch position is moved to the position of the medium-sized character C1 displayed in the knitted character area TM2, the character is set in the second knitting management table 306a as middle. The set character C1 is substituted for the character E2.

  In step S34, the second composition screen is updated so as to correspond to the updated second composition management table 306a. That is, if the touch position is moved to the position of the middle-sized character C1 while the character E2 is touched, the character C1 is updated to the character E2. Upon completion of the update, the process proceeds to a step S35. If it is not determined in step S32 that the third operation has been performed, the process proceeds to step S35 without performing the processes in steps S33 and S34.

  In step S35, it is determined based on an operation input on the touch screen 15 whether the "make room" button or the "enter room" button has been touched. If it is not determined that the “make room” button or the “enter room” button has been touched, the process proceeds to step S36. In step S36, it is determined whether or not the “return” button has been touched based on an operation input on the touch screen 15. If it is not determined that the "return" button has been touched, the process returns to step S32. If it is determined that the "return" button has been touched, the character knitting process ends.

  If it is determined in step S35 that the "make room" button or the "enter room" button has been touched, the process proceeds to step S37, where the second formation management table 306a is notified to the game server 200.

  In the user terminal 100 operated by the user 2, the above-described processing is executed for the second composition management table 306b, and for the user terminal 100 operated by the user 3, the second composition management table 306c is In the user terminal 100 operated by the user 4, the above-described processing is executed for the second composition management table 306d. In the present embodiment, one of the users 1 to 4 creates a room as a host, and the remaining three people enter the room as guests.

  The game server 200 forms a party composed of the users 1 to 4 by matching, and notifies the user terminal 100 operated by the user of the host role of the second organization management tables 306a to 306d.

  Returning to FIG. 15, in step S41, it is determined whether or not the second formation management tables 306a to 306d have been notified from the game server 200 based on the data received by the communication IF 13. If it is determined that the second composition management tables 306a to 306d have been notified, the process proceeds to step S42. In step S42, a composition information management table 307 shown in FIG. 10 is created based on the second composition management tables 306a to 306d. Upon completion of the process in the step S42, the process proceeds to a step S43, and the completion of the entry is notified to the game server 200. The entry processing ends after notification of entry completion.

  The game server 200 transmits the entry completion notified by the processing in step S43 to the user terminal 100 operated by each of the users 1 to 4. Returning to FIG. 13, in step S38, it is determined whether or not the entry completion has been notified from the game server 200 based on the data received by the communication IF 13. If it is determined that the entry completion has been notified, the character knitting process ends.

  After the entry process is completed, the control unit 110 of the user terminal 100 operated by the host user executes the game pre-process shown in FIG. 16 according to the administrator-side program. The game pre-processing is executed for each game. The game pre-processing of FIG. 16 may be executed by the game server 200, and the processing result may be transmitted to each user terminal 100.

  In step S51, based on various game parameters indicating the progress of the mahjong game, the distinction of the current team battle (whether it is the first battle, the second battle, the middle battle, the vice general, or the large general) is specified. Then, the game server 200 is notified of the team battle discrimination information indicating the specified discrimination. In step S52, the current time in the mahjong room specified by the timer unit 113 is specified. In step S53, the number of games to be played next is specified from one, two, three, and four based on various game parameters indicating the progress of the mahjong game.

  In step S54, one of the users 1 to 4 is designated. In step S55, based on the distinction specified in step S51, the organization information management table 307 shown in FIG. 10, the character management table 301 shown in FIG. 4, and the tile distribution skill management table 303 shown in FIG. The tile arrangement skill that can be activated by the user and the activation condition of the tile arrangement skill are specified.

  For example, assuming the setting of the composition information management table 307 shown in FIG. 10, when the user 1 challenges the next battle, the four players are identified as tileable skills that the user can activate, and the next game is set to 3 Whether the user is a station or the user faces the next game as a parent is specified as a condition for activating the tile distribution skill.

  In step S56, the game status of the user (discrimination of the team game, the current time, the number of next games, the position of the user in the next game (parent / child, east / southern / west / north), User's ranking, score difference from other users, etc.) are specified based on various game parameters indicating the progress of the mahjong game. In step S57, it is determined whether or not the condition for activating the tile arrangement skill specified in step S55 is satisfied based on the game situation specified in step S56.

  If it is not determined that the activation condition has been satisfied, the process proceeds to step S59, and a random tile is set for the user. On the other hand, when it is determined that the activation condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S58. In step S58, the details of the skill corresponding to the tile distribution skill to be activated are specified from the tile distribution skill management table 303, and the tile distribution according to the detail of the skill is set for the user. That is, the tile distribution skill is activated.

  Based on the setting of the composition information management table 307 shown in FIG. 10, when the next game played by the user 1 in the next game is three, or when the user 1 faces the next game as a parent in the next game, The condition for activating Shiki Maker is satisfied. In this case, tiles containing seven or more seeds of Koseki are set for the user 1.

  Upon completion of the process in the step S58 or S59, the process proceeds to a step S60 to notify the game server 200 of the tile arrangement information. At this time, the tile arrangement information includes the user name specified in step S54 and the tile arrangement set in step S58 or S59.

  In step S61, it is determined whether all of the users 1 to 4 have been designated based on the processing result of step S54. If it is not determined that all of the users 1 to 4 have been designated, the process returns to step S54. If it is determined that all of the users 1 to 4 have been designated, the process proceeds to step S62. In step S62, tile piles are constructed using the remaining tiles using the remaining tiles. In step S63, tile pile information indicating the arrangement of tiles in the constructed tile pile is notified to the game server 200. When the processing in step S63 is completed, the game pre-processing is ended.

  The game server 200 notifies the user terminal 100 operated by each of the users 1 to 4 of the team battle distinction information notified by the processing of step S51. Further, the game server 200 specifies the user name included in the tile arrangement information notified by the process of step S60, and notifies the user terminal 100 corresponding to the identified user name of the tile arrangement information.

  When the character formation processing shown in FIG. 14 ends, the control unit 110 of the user terminal 100 operated by each of the users 1 to 4 executes the game processing shown in FIG. 17 according to the user-side program. Here, the game process in the user terminal 100 operated by the user 1 will be described in mind, but the same game process is executed in the user terminal 100 operated by each of the users 2 to 4. The game processing is processing corresponding to a game part (competition part) in which a game is advanced by characters formed in the formation part.

  In step S71, it is determined whether or not the team battle distinction information has been notified from the game server 200 based on the data received by the communication IF 13. If it is determined that the team battle discrimination information has been notified, the process proceeds to step S72, where the discrimination indicated by the team battle discrimination information, the formation information management table 307 shown in FIG. 10, the character management table 301 shown in FIG. Based on the tsumo skill management table 304 shown in FIG. 7, the tsumo skill that the user 1 can activate and the activation condition of the tsumo skill are specified. For example, when the user 1 faces the next battle, the safe left hand is specified as a tsumo skill that can be activated, and the tsumo skill is activated when the user 1 is second or less and the user 1 has three or less hand tiles. Specified as a condition.

  In step S73, it is determined whether or not the tile distribution information has been notified from the game server 200 based on the data received by the communication IF 13. If it is determined that the tile arrangement information has been notified, the process proceeds to step S74, and the game screen shown in FIG. According to FIG. 18 (B), the game screen includes a mahjong table area MT1, a hand tile area TH1, and a tsumo skill area TS1. The icon representing the tsumo skill specified in step S72 is displayed in the tsumo skill area TS1, and the tile arrangement included in the tile arrangement information notified from the game server 200 is displayed in the hand tile area TH1.

  In step S75, the game proceeds while communicating with the game server 200. Each user's tile tiles from the tile pile, discarded tiles on the river, sub-dew on other users' discarded tiles (pon, qi, daimyeong), sub-dew on own user's hand tiles (dark kong, komyo kong), The game situation such as the presence or absence of the user's reach changes according to the progress of the game.

  In step S76, the progress of the mahjong game (the number of hand tiles of user 1, the ranking of user 1, the presence or absence of reach of each user, etc.) is determined by determining whether or not the skill activation condition specified in step S72 is satisfied. It is specified based on various game parameters to be represented. When it is determined that the skill activation condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S77, and it is notified that the Tsumo skill can be activated. Specifically, the icon of the Tsumo skill displayed in the Tsumo skill area TS1 is highlighted.

  More specifically, when the user 1 is in the second battle with the second or less first place and the hand tiles of the user 1 are three or less, the safe left hand activation condition is satisfied. As a result, the icon corresponding to the safe left hand is highlighted. Upon completion of the process in the step S77, the process proceeds to a step S78. If it is not determined in step S76 that the condition for activating the skill is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S78 without performing the process in step S77.

  In step S78, it is determined based on various game parameters indicating the progress status of the mahjong game whether or not the activation condition is not satisfied for the tsumo skill for which the skill activation condition has been satisfied. If it is determined that the skill activation condition is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S79, and the notification of the tsumo skill for which the skill activation condition is satisfied ends. Specifically, the highlight of the Tsumo skill displayed in the Tsumo skill area TS1 is ended. If it is not determined in step S78 that the activation condition is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S80 without performing the process in step S79.

  In step S <b> 80, it is determined based on an operation input on the touch screen 15 whether or not an activating operation has been performed on the practicable tsumo skill, that is, whether or not the highlighted tsumo skill icon has been touched. If it is not determined that the icon has been touched, the process returns to step S75.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the icon has been touched, the Tsumo skill corresponding to the icon is activated in step S81. For this reason, when the safe left hand tsumo skill is activated, the tiles in the tile pile are rearranged so that the user 1 draws the tiles that have not been discarded yet for three consecutive rounds. In step S82, the notification that the activated Tsumo skill can be activated ends. Specifically, the highlight of the icon of the activated tsumo skill is ended.

  When the process in step S83 is completed, it is determined whether any one of the users 1 to 4 has gone up or whether the current game has been played. If it is not determined that one of the users 1 to 4 has gone up or that the current game has been played, the process returns to step S75. On the other hand, when it is determined that any one of the users 1 to 4 has gone up or that the current game has been played, the settlement is performed in step S84. As a result, the ranking of the user 1 and the score difference between the users 1 to 4 are specified. The current game processing ends after the processing in step S84.

<Effect of this embodiment>
According to the present embodiment, the mahjong game uses a knitting part for knitting an operation character operated by a user from among a plurality of types of characters, and a single play mode and a battle play mode using the operation characters knitted by the knitting part. And a game part for playing a game according to any of the above. Here, the number of characters that can be formed as operation characters used in the game in the single play mode is smaller than the number of characters that can be formed as operation characters used in the game in the battle play mode.

  For this reason, in the battle play mode, the user is more interested in the character formation, whereas in the single play mode, the user is more interested in elements other than the character formation. Thereby, the interest of the game can be enhanced from various viewpoints according to the play mode.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, an episode is associated with the character, and browsing of the episode is permitted according to the game result in the single play mode. Thereby, the interest of the game in the single play mode can be enhanced.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, when the playing of the episode permitted to be browsed by playing the game in the single play mode ends, a new character is given to the user. Thus, it is possible to provide a game cycle in which a new character is acquired in the single play mode and a game is played in the competitive play mode using the acquired character.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, various parameters of the characters formed into the team in the single play mode are updated according to the result of the team battle in the single play mode. As a result, the user can grow the character by repeating the game in the single play mode, and can advantageously play the game in the battle play mode.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the number of operation characters formed in the team matches between the single play mode and the competitive play mode. This means that the number of character combinations that can be organized into teams in the single play mode is smaller than the number of character combinations that can be organized into teams in the competitive play mode. Thereby, the interest of the game can be enhanced from various viewpoints according to the play mode.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, in the battle play mode, the characters to be formed into the team can be selected from a plurality of high schools, whereas in the single play mode, the characters to be formed into the team can be selected from one high school. Can only be selected from For this reason, in the single play mode, the burden imposed on the user for character organization is reduced, and the user's interest in elements other than character organization can be increased.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, in both the single play mode and the competitive play mode, an order is assigned to the characters formed in the team. As a result, interest in character organization can be enhanced.

<Modification>
Modifications of the embodiment described above are listed below.

  (1) In the above embodiment, various parameters of the character are updated in accordance with the game result in the single play mode so that the game in the match play mode can be advantageously deployed. However, instead of updating the various parameters, the user may be provided with an enhanced material that enhances the character, such as adding a tile arrangement skill or a tsumo skill that can be activated by the character. Further, by associating another character (sub character) with the character (main character) formed in the team, the skill of the sub character can be activated by the main character, or based on the parameters of the sub character. The parameter of the main character may be increased, and in this case, the upper limit number of characters that can be associated as sub-characters may be updated according to the game result in the single play mode. Furthermore, when associating a main character with a sub character, another main character formed in the team may be allowed to be the sub character, and conversely, the other main character may be set as the sub character. You may make it restrict.

  (2) In the above embodiment, the character can also be obtained by a predetermined lottery. However, the target acquired by the lottery is not limited to the character, and may be a material that strengthens the character, such as a tile-laying skill or a tsumo skill.

  (3) In the above-described embodiment, when the single play mode is selected, the characters that can be formed into a team include characters belonging to any one of XX high school, YY high school, YY high school, and ZZ high school. You can only choose. However, the number of high schools that can be selected for team formation in single play mode is not limited to this as long as it is smaller than the number of high schools that can be selected for team formation in match play mode. Many may be specified. For example, the number of high schools that can be selected for team formation in the competitive play mode may be five, and the number of high schools that can be selected for team formation in the single play mode may be two.

  (4) In the above embodiment, the order can be changed according to the user operation in both the single play mode and the competitive play mode. However, in the single play mode, the change of the order may be restricted after limiting the characters that can be formed to the predetermined five characters.

  (5) In the above embodiment, the number of distinctions between team matches is the same between the single play mode and the match play mode. However, in the single play mode, there are three battles of the first battle, the middle battle, and the great general, and in the match play mode, there are five battles of the first battle, the second battle, the middle battle, the vice general, and the great general. The number of distinctions between team battles in the mode may be made smaller than the number of distinctions between team battles in the match play mode.

  (6) In the above embodiment, in both the single play mode and the competitive play mode, it is necessary to select all the characters to be formed in the team by a user operation. However, in the single play mode, a part of the characters formed in the team (for example, the second leader and the vice general) may be selected regardless of the user operation. Also, assuming that the number of distinctions in the team battle is the same between the single play mode and the competitive play mode, the number of distinctions for seeking the user operation in the single play mode is determined by the distinction for finding the user operation in the competitive play mode. (For example, in the single play mode, only the general character is selected by the user operation, and in the competitive play mode, the middle character and the general character are selected by the user operation).

  (7) In the above embodiment, it is not assumed that the same user has the same character in duplicate, but the same user may have the same character in duplicate. This makes it possible to form the same character into a team.

  (8) In the above embodiment, the synchronization between the user terminals 100 is established via the game server 200. However, for example, in a local area network environment, synchronization may be established between the user terminals 100 by performing communication between the user terminals 100.

  (9) In the above embodiment, the process according to the administrator-side program is executed by the user terminal 100 of the host role user. However, the process may be performed by the game server 200.

  (10) In the above embodiment, it is assumed that four users are always present in the battle play mode. However, in practice, not all four users may be present. Therefore, if all four users are not available, the lacking user may be supplemented by NPC. In this case, for example, the user-side program corresponding to each NPC is started in the game server 200 in an environment where connection to a communication line is possible, and is executed in the user terminal 100 as a host in an environment where connection to a communication line is not possible. Is activated. In addition, the tile arrangement skill for the NPC, the tsumo skill, and various parameters are determined, for example, by random number drawing. Further, the manager-side program of the user terminal 100 serving as the host plays the game while exchanging with the user-side program (in an environment where connection to the communication line is not possible, the exchange with the user-side program is performed). Is performed in the user terminal 100 of the host role).

  (11) In the above embodiment, a mahjong game is assumed, but instead of this, a card game such as poker or babbler, or a card game such as koikoi may be assumed. When poker is assumed, a pattern such as a spade jack drawn on a card corresponds to the identification information, and a full house or a straight flush corresponds to a role. In addition, when assuming koikoi, a cup full of boar and moon watching corresponds to a role.
