The game server 200 receives game information from the user terminal 100 and transmits a game program operable on the user terminal 100, a web page (game screen or the like), various game data such as user information and game parameters, various notifications, and the like. I do. The game server 200 can function as the control unit 210 and the storage unit 220 by cooperation of the processor 20, the memory 21, the storage 22, the communication IF 23, the input / output IF 24, and the like.

  As illustrated in FIG. 3, the control unit 210 can function as a transmission / reception unit 211, a server processing unit 212, a data management unit 213, a matching unit 214, and a measurement unit 215 by a game program stored in the storage unit 220. In the present embodiment, the game program is a program that causes the game server 200 having the processor 20 and the memory 21 to function as the control unit 210 and the storage unit 220 that advance the mahjong game. The above-mentioned manager-side program for managing the mahjong game is also included.

  The transmission / reception unit 211 receives various information transmitted from each user terminal 100 and transmits various information to each user terminal 100.

  Each user terminal 100 transmits various information to the game server 200 based on the control of the control unit 110. The game server 200 receives the information via the network 2 and the communication IF 23, and the transmitting / receiving unit 211 identifies and receives the content of the information.

  The transmission / reception unit 211 refers to various management tables stored in the storage unit 220. The transmission / reception unit 211 performs necessary processing with reference to various management tables updated by the data management unit 213 as necessary. The information includes tile distribution information for specifying a combination of tiles distributed to each user, tile pile information for specifying tiles remaining after the tile distribution, and information such as pon, chi, and can by each user. included.

  In addition, the transmission / reception unit 211 includes a game program operable on the user terminal 100, user information, game space information such as a game screen, tile distribution of each user, tile pile, discarded tiles of each user, and pon, chi of each user. The game information such as,,, and Tsumo is transmitted to the user terminal 100.

  The server processing unit 212 controls the overall operation of the game server 200, performs transmission and reception of data between elements, and performs arithmetic processing necessary for the progress of the game. The server processing unit 212 executes a calculation process according to the game program based on, for example, information or a request from the user terminal 100 received by the transmission / reception unit 211. Then, by transmitting the resulting various user information, game data such as game information, a game program, and the like to the user terminal 100 via the communication IF 13, the game is further advanced in the user terminal 100.

  The data management unit 213 performs necessary processing by adding, updating, or deleting various game data and database records stored in the storage unit 220 based on various calculation results in the server processing unit 212. Execute.

  For example, when the user acts on the user terminal 100 so that the user exposes the tiles to the mahjong table, the transmission / reception unit 211 receives from the user terminal 100 object information and game point information held by the user as a result. The server processing unit 212 performs necessary processing based on the received information, while the data management unit 213 updates user information and game information.

  Further, for example, when the transmission / reception unit 211 receives a request to execute a discarded tile from the user terminal 100, the data management unit 213 converts the information of the discarded tile into the user information and the game information regarding the arrangement position of the discarded tile. Relate and store.

  The matching unit 214 associates a plurality of operation characters with a predetermined game space for battle play. For example, when a certain operation character performs an operation of creating a room as a host, the matching unit 214 composes a party having the operation character as a host and the other three operation characters as guests by matching, and belongs to the party. Four operation characters are temporarily associated with the same mahjong room.

  The measuring unit 215 has a function of defining the time in the mahjong room and measuring the time in the mahjong room, similarly to the timer unit 113. The measuring unit 215 measures, for example, an elapsed time from a time when a screen for selecting a skill to be activated at the start of the game is displayed. The measuring unit 215 generates time information of the mahjong room, and compares the time information with the time information of the mahjong room generated by the timer unit 113. Thereby, the time information of the mahjong room is synchronized between the user terminal 100 and the game server 200, and the measurement and determination of various time information can be smoothly performed.

  The storage unit 220 stores a game program, a user authentication program, and the like. In the storage unit 220, a database that manages user information such as a user management table and game information such as an object management table may be constructed. The storage unit 220 may be provided with a shunting number register 301 shown in FIG. 4A and a discarded tile management table 302 shown in FIG. 4B for each of the four users facing the game. Good.

(Shunten number register)
Referring to FIG. 4A, shunting number register 301 manages the shunting number of tiles at hand of a user playing a game. Here, the shunting is a term indicating how many times the shortest time is required to make a tempai. More specifically, the state of a hand tile that can be used for a minimum of three rounds is referred to as three shunten, and the state of a hand tile that can be used for a minimum of two rounds is referred to as two shunten. For this reason, the number of shunters becomes smaller as the role approaches, and the number of shuntes becomes smaller. Conversely, the number of schatens increases with distance from the formation of the role, and the increase in the number of schatens is referred to as a shun number reduction.

(Discard tile management table)
Referring to FIG. 4 (B), the discard tile management table 302 includes, of the user's hand tiles, a hand tile touched by a touch operation forming a flick operation and a hand on the right of the touched hand tile. It manages three tiles: a tile and a tile on the left of the touched hand tile. An advantage point is set for each of the three tiles. Here, the advantage point is a point indicating a degree of advantage related to a winning combination based on a combination of hand tiles when discarding a hand tile for which the advantage point is set, and the advantage degree has a small point value. Lower. Therefore, the priority of the discarded tile with respect to the touched hand tile (order in which the hand tile should be discarded) decreases as the advantage point set for the touched hand tile decreases.

(Play screen)
FIG. 9A is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen displayed in a portrait orientation. In the upper part of the game screen, tiles for Dora identification (for example, six thousand tiles) are displayed. In addition, a face image of a character operated by the user is displayed in a lower part of the game screen. Further, a mahjong table is displayed from the viewpoint of the user (obliquely above) at a slightly upper part of the center of the game screen.

  In the center of the mahjong table, a river area RV for displaying discarded tiles of the own user and other users is allocated, and below the river area RV, a hand tile for displaying the tiles of the own user. Area HA is assigned.

  When the game starts, the hand tiles of the user are displayed in the hand tile area HA for each tile classification (manshi tiles, tsutsumi tiles, tile tiles, character tiles). The tiles of the user are displayed at the right end in the hand tile area HA. Each user proceeds with the game while repeating discard tiles to the river area RV, sub-exposure to the own user's hand tiles or discard tiles of other users.

  In the game, when a flick operation is performed on any of the hand tiles displayed in the hand tile area HA, the hand tile (specific tile) touched at the time of the flick operation and the right hand tile adjacent to the touched hand tile are displayed. And three hand tiles (non-specific tiles) to the left of the touched hand tiles (non-specific tiles) are registered in the discarded tile management table 302. At the time of registration, the advantage points of each of the three hand tiles indicate 0. The advantage point of each of the three hand tiles is decremented by one when the hand tile is a dra tile, and decremented by one when the number of schatten is reduced by discarding the hand tile.

  For example, in the game shown in FIG. 9A, the seventy thousand tiles are Dora tiles. In addition, the number of tiles of the tiles at hand of the user is reduced when any of the tiles of 30,000-50,000 tiles, 70,000-90,000 tiles, white tiles, and white is discarded. .

  Therefore, when the three cylinder tile is touched during the flick operation, the three cylinder tiles, the five cylinder tiles on the right and the nine thousand tile on the left are registered in the discard tile management table 302. Is done. At this time, the three cylinder tiles and the five cylinder tiles are different from the Dora tiles, and the number of shunts does not decrease even if the three cylinder tiles and the five cylinder tiles are discarded. Degree points remain at zero. On the other hand, if the nine thousand tiles are discarded, the number of shouten will be reduced, and the ninety thousand tiles' advantageous points will be updated to -1.

  When the seventy thousand tiles are touched during the flick operation, three tiles of the seventy thousand tiles, the right eight thousand tiles, and the left four thousand tiles are registered in the discard tile management table 302. You. At this time, the seven thousand tiles are dora tiles, and if the seven thousand tiles are discarded, the number of shouten drops, so the advantage point of the seven thousand tiles is updated to -2. Also, discarding the eight thousand tiles or the four thousand tiles lowers the number of shunts, so that the advantage points of the eight thousand tiles and the four thousand tiles are updated to −1.

  If the advantage point set for the touched hand tile is not the minimum among the three tiles, the discarded tile is executed for the touched hand tile. That is, when the advantage point is not in a specific situation where discarding the touched tile is not lower than discarding a touched tile different from the touched tile, the touch is not performed. The discarded tile is executed for the hand tile that has been set. The discarded hand tile is moved to the river area RV and displayed in a reduced size.

  For this reason, in the game screen shown in FIG. 9A, when the three cylinder tiles are touched at the time of the flick operation, the discard tiles are executed for the three cylinder tiles. The three cylinder tiles are displayed in the river area RV as shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the advantage point set for the touched hand tile is the minimum advantage point, the touched hand tile is lifted and a confirmation message is displayed (see FIG. 10). In other words, when the advantage point is a specific situation where discarding the touched tile is lower than discarding a touched tile that is different from the touched tile, the confirmation message is displayed. It is displayed on the touch screen 15. In addition, among the plurality of tiles whose advantage points are specified, when the advantage point of the touched tile is the smallest, the tile having the same advantage point as the touched tile is included. However, a confirmation message is displayed. When the advantage point of the touched tile is 0, the confirmation message is not displayed regardless of the advantage points of the other tiles.

  Therefore, when the seven hundred thousand tiles are touched during the flick operation on the game screen shown in FIG. 9 (A), the seventy thousand tiles are lifted and the discarded tiles are targeted for the touched hand tiles. A confirmation message including a character string for confirming whether or not to execute, an icon for accepting the execution operation, and an icon for accepting the cancel operation is displayed between the hand tile area HA and the river area RV. (See FIG. 10).

  Note that the shunting number is also reduced when, for example, ten thousand tiles, four thousand tiles, and six thousand tiles are arranged in the hand tile area HA and the four thousand tiles or six thousand tiles are touched. For this reason, if any of the four tiles, the four tiles and the six thousand tiles, is touched and the advantage of the tiles is minimum, a confirmation message is displayed on the touch screen 15.

  Here, when the icon for accepting the cancel operation is touched, the discarded tile for the touched hand tile is stopped. On the other hand, when the icon for accepting the execution operation is touched, the discarded tile is executed for the touched hand tile.

  Tsumo tiles are stored in the hand tiles after the hand tiles are discarded. Specifically, the hand tiles are rearranged so that the tiles are displayed at positions according to the classification of the tiles (for several tiles, positions arranged in the order according to the number in the same classification). Can be For example, when three cylinder tiles are discarded on the game screen shown in FIG. 9 (A), seventy thousand tiles to ninety thousand tiles are packed rightward, and fifty thousand tiles are stored in the gap provided thereby (see FIG. 9A). 9 (see B).

  If the tile touched at the time of the flick operation is a tsumo tile (50 thousand tiles in the example of FIG. 9A), the above-described processing for the discarded tile management table 302 is not executed, and the ticking tile is not executed. Discarded tiles for tiles are executed unconditionally. That is, the tiles are displayed at a position slightly away from the hand tiles, and there is a low possibility that the touch operation is erroneously performed. Therefore, the discarded tiles for the tiles are executed unconditionally. In this case, the tiles are not rearranged. As a result, the processing load is reduced.

  On the other hand, in the game, when a long tap operation is performed on any of the tiles (hand tiles or tsumo tiles) displayed in the hand tile area HA, as shown in FIG. A guide frame (predetermined standard) GF is displayed in the vicinity, and the tile subjected to the long tap operation is enlarged and displayed above the hand tile area HA, that is, on the river area RV side. The D-shaped figure on the game screen of FIG. 11A indicates the position of the long tap operation.

  When the position touched for the long tap operation is moved in the horizontal direction in the hand tile area HA, the display of the tile touched before the movement is returned to the normal display, and the tile touched at this time is replaced by the hand. The image is enlarged and displayed above the tile area HA, that is, on the river area RV side (see FIG. 11B). Also, by moving the position touched for the long tap operation into an area below the hand tile area HA and moving it in the horizontal direction, the tiles located in the vertical direction of the touch position are also hand tiles. The image is enlarged and displayed above the area HA, that is, on the river area RV side.

  When the touch operation is released after the touch position is moved to the river area RV, that is, when a drag-and-drop operation is performed on the tile displayed in an enlarged manner, the discarded tile for the tile is executed. The tile displayed in an enlarged manner moves from the hand tile area HA to the river area RV and is reduced and displayed. When a drag-and-drop operation is performed, there is enough time to visually determine that a discarded tile candidate has not been selected by mistake during the drag operation, and as a result, it is confirmed that the discarded tile candidate is not wrong. Since there is a high probability of confirmation, the process for specifying the advantage point is not executed. As a result, the processing load can be reduced.

(About operation)
The control unit 110 of the user terminal 100 operated by the user of the host role executes the manager-side game processing shown in FIG. 5 according to the manager-side program. In addition, the control unit 110 of the user terminal 100 operated by each user executes the user-side game processing shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 according to the user-side program. Note that the manager side game process shown in FIG. 5 may be executed by the game server 200, and the process result may be transmitted to each user terminal 100.

  Referring to FIG. 5, in step S01, a tile pile composed of about 136 tiles is constructed, and in step S02, 13 tiles are distributed to each of four users who face the game. The type of tile arrangement corresponds to the type of character operated by each of the four users. When the tile arrangement is completed, the process proceeds to step S03, and the game is advanced while partitioning the order of the tiles between the four users.

  In step S04, it is determined whether any of the four users has gone up or whether the current game has been played. If it is not determined that any of the users has gone up or that the current game has been played, the process returns to step S03. On the other hand, if it is determined that any of the users has gone up or the current game has been played, the settlement is performed in step S05. For example, a point corresponding to a winning combination is given to a user who has declared a rising. Further, when the player rises in front of the gate, if the tiles constituting the winning combination include the Dora tiles, the points to be awarded are increased. The current administrator-side game process ends after the process of step S05.

  Referring to FIG. 6, in step S11, the game screen shown in FIG. 9A is displayed on touch screen 15. In step S12, the tiles distributed to the user by the processing in step S01 are displayed in the hand tile area HA of the game screen. In the hand tile area HA, thirteen hand tiles are displayed for each tile classification (manshi tiles, tube tiles, tile tiles, character tiles). In step S13, it is determined whether or not the order of the own user has arrived based on the processing result of step S03. If it is determined that the order has arrived, the process proceeds to step S14.

  In step S14, tiles are drawn from the tile pile constructed by the processing in step S01, and the drawn tiles are displayed at the right end in the hand tile area HA. In step S15, the number of shunters of the tile displayed in the hand tile area HA is specified, and the shunting number is registered in the shunting number register 301.

  In step S16, the combination of the tiles forming each of the plurality of types of hands is compared with the combination of the hand tiles displayed in the hand tile area HA, so that the combination of the tiles in the hand tile area HA is determined. It is determined whether or not the condition is satisfied. When it is determined that the winning combination has been established, the process proceeds to step S17, and it is determined whether or not an operation for declaring the crossing up or the rising up has been performed by the user based on the operation input to the touch screen 15. If it is determined that the operation to declare the rise of the cross or the rise of the ron has been performed, the process proceeds to step S18, and the program of the rise of the cross or the rise of the lone is notified to the manager side program. The notification includes a mode of rising (separation of Ron / Tsumo), a winning combination, and a combination of tiles constituting the winning combination. The user side game process ends after the notification.

  If it is not determined in step S16 that the winning combination has been established, or if it is not determined in step S17 that an operation to declare a climb has been performed, the process proceeds to step S19. In step S19, it is determined whether or not an operation for declaring sub-dew or reach has been performed based on an operation input to the touch screen 15. If it is determined that an operation for declaring sub-dew or reach has been performed, a process corresponding to the operation is executed in step S20. Upon completion of the process in the step S20, the completion of the process is notified to the manager side program in a step S21, and thereafter, the process returns to the step S13.

  If it is not determined in step S19 that an operation for declaring sub-dew or reach has been performed, the process proceeds to step S22. In step S22, it is determined based on an operation input on the touch screen 15 whether or not a touch operation has been performed on any of the hand tiles and the tiles displayed in the hand tile area HA.

  When it is not determined that the touch operation has been performed, the process returns to step S16, and when it is determined that the touch operation has been performed, the process proceeds to step S23. In step S23, it is determined whether or not the touch operation is a touch operation constituting a flick operation based on an operation input to the touch screen 15.

  When it is determined that the touch operation is a touch operation constituting a flick operation, the process proceeds to step S24. In step S24, it is determined whether or not the touched tile is a hand tile based on an operation input on the touch screen 15. When it is determined that the touched tile is a hand tile, the process proceeds to step S25, and when it is not determined that the touched tile is a hand tile, the process proceeds to step S46.

  In step S25, of the hand tiles displayed in the hand tile area HA, the touched hand tile, the hand tile on the right of the touched hand tile, and the hand on the left of the touched hand tile are displayed. The three hand tiles with the tile are registered in the discard tile management table 302. At this time, the advantage point of each of the three hand tiles is set to zero.

  For example, on the game screen shown in FIG. 9 (A), when the three cylinder tiles displayed in the hand tile area HA are touched, the three cylinder tiles, the five cylinder tiles on the right side, and the nine cylinder tiles on the left side are touched. The three tiles including the many tiles are registered in the discarded tile management table 302, and the advantage point of each of the three hand tiles is set to 0.

  In step S26, one of the three hand tiles registered in the discarded tile management table 302 is designated. In step S27, it is determined whether or not the hand tile is a Dora tile based on the setting of the tile pile constructed by the process of step S01. If it is determined that the hand tile is a dra tile, the process proceeds to step S28, and 1 is subtracted from the advantage point set for the hand tile in the discard tile management table 302.

  For example, in the game screen shown in FIG. 9A, the seventy thousand tiles are dora tiles. Therefore, when a seventy thousand tile is designated in step S26, the advantage point set for the seventy thousand tile in the discarded tile management table 302 is decremented by one.

  Upon completion of the process in the step S28, the process proceeds to a step S29. On the other hand, if it is not determined in step S27 that the hand tile is a Dora tile, the process proceeds to step S29 without executing the process of step S28.

  In step S29, the number of shunts is specified based on the hand tiles and the tiles remaining in the hand tile area HA after the hand tiles are discarded. In step S30, it is determined whether the number of shuntes goes down (retreats) when the hand tile is discarded by comparing the number of shuntes specified in step S29 with the number of shuntes registered in the shunting number register 301. judge.

  If it is determined that the number of schatten is reduced when the tile is discarded, the process proceeds to step S31. In step S31, 1 is subtracted from the advantage point set for the tile in the discard tile management table 302. That is, when it is determined in step S30 that the number of shuntes moves backward, a low degree of advantage is specified in step S31.

  For example, in the game screen shown in FIG. 9 (A), if any of the tiles of 30,000 tiles to 50,000 tiles and 70,000 tiles to 90,000 tiles is discarded, the number of shouten drops. However, the 50,000 tiles are Tsumo tiles, and the processes of steps S26, S29 and S30 are not executed for the 50,000 tiles. For this reason, if the hand tile designated in step S26 is any of the 30,000, 70,000 to 90,000 tiles, the advantage point set for the tile is 1 point. Is only subtracted.

  Upon completion of the process in the step S31, the process proceeds to a step S32. On the other hand, if it is not determined in step S30 that the number of schatten is reduced when the hand tile is discarded, the process proceeds to step S32 without executing the process of step S31.

  In step S32, it is determined whether or not all three hand tiles registered in the discard tile management table 302 have been designated based on the processing result of step S26. If it is not determined that all three hand tiles have been designated, the process returns to step S26, and if it is determined that all three hand tiles have been designated, the process proceeds to step S33.

  In step S33, it is determined whether or not the advantage point of the touched hand tile is the minimum advantage point (that is, the advantage point is smaller than that when the hand tile different from the touched hand tile is discarded). It is determined based on the discarded tile management table 302 whether or not a specific situation is lower when discarding the touched tile. When it is determined that the advantage point is the minimum advantage point, the process proceeds to step S34, and a confirmation message shown in FIG. According to FIG. 10, the confirmation message is composed of a character string for confirming whether or not the discarded tile for the touched tile may be executed, an icon for accepting the execution operation, and an icon for accepting the cancel operation. You.

  In addition, when the advantage point of the touched hand tile is the minimum, a confirmation message is displayed even if there is a tile in which the same advantage point as the advantage point is specified exists.

  In step S35, it is determined whether or not the icon for receiving the execution operation has been touched, based on the operation input on the touch screen 15. If it is not determined that the icon for receiving the execution operation has been touched, the process proceeds to step S36. In step S36, it is determined whether or not an icon for accepting the cancel operation has been touched based on an operation input on the touch screen 15. If it is not determined that the icon for accepting the cancel operation has been touched, the process returns to step S35.

  If it is determined in step S36 that the icon for accepting the cancel operation has been touched, the process returns to step S16. The hand tile and the advantage point registered in the discarded tile management table 302 are updated by the process of step S25 when another hand tile is touched in the next flick operation. On the other hand, when the advantage point of the touched hand tile is not determined to be the minimum advantage point in step S33, or when it is determined in step S35 that the icon for receiving the execution operation has been touched. Proceeds to step S46.

  In step S46, the discarded tile is executed for the touched tile (Tsumo tile or hand tile). In step S47, the discarded tiles are moved to the river area RV and displayed in a reduced size. In step S48, if the discarded tile is a hand tile, the hand tiles in the hand tile area HA are rearranged so as to store the tiles in the hand tile. Specifically, the hand tiles are rearranged so that the tiles are displayed at positions corresponding to the classification of the tiles. For example, when three cylinder tiles are discarded on the game screen shown in FIG. 9 (A), seventy thousand tiles to ninety thousand tiles are packed to the right, and 50,000 tiles are stored in the gap provided thereby. In the step S49, the completion of the process is notified to the manager side program, and thereafter, the process returns to the step S13.

  In step S23, when it is not determined that the touch operation on the tile displayed in the hand tile area HA is a touch operation constituting a flick operation, the touch operation is regarded as a long tap operation, and the process proceeds to step S37. move on. That is, when the long tap operation is performed, the user takes time to check the hand tiles, and it is considered that the possibility that the tile to be discarded is erroneously selected is low. Omitted. As a result, the processing load is reduced.

  In step S37, the guide frame GF is displayed on the touch screen 15, and in step S38, the touched tile is enlarged and displayed on the river area RV side. Therefore, when the seven cylinder tile is touched on the game screen shown in FIG. 11A, the guide frame GF is displayed, and the touched tile is enlarged and displayed at a position above the touch position. Further, in the game screen shown in FIG. 11B, when the five cylinder tiles are touched, the guide frame GF is displayed, and the touched tiles are enlarged and displayed at a position above the touch position.

  In step S39, it is determined whether or not the touch position has moved based on an operation input on the touch screen 15. When it is determined that the touch position has moved, the process proceeds to step S40, and it is determined whether the current touch position is a position in the lower area including the hand tile area HA and extending to the lower part of the screen.

  If it is determined that the current touch position is within the lower area, the process proceeds to step S41, and the tile to be enlarged and displayed is changed to a tile located in the vertical direction of the touch position. Upon completion of the tile change, the process returns to step S39. If the current touch position is not determined to be a position in the lower area, the process returns to step S39 without executing the process of step S41.

  Therefore, when the touch position is moved to the left while the seven cylinder tile shown in FIG. 11A is displayed in an enlarged manner, the seven cylinder tile is normally displayed at the original position, and the five cylinder tile adjacent to the left is touched. It is enlarged and displayed at a position above the position. When the touch position is moved to the right while the five cylinder tile shown in FIG. 11B is displayed in an enlarged manner, the five cylinder tile is normally displayed at the original position, and the seven cylinder tile next to the right is touched. It is enlarged and displayed at a position above the position. When the touch position moves to the river area RV, the guide frame GF is highlighted.

  If it is not determined in step S39 that the touch position has moved, the process proceeds to step S42, where it is determined whether or not the touch operation has been released based on an operation input on the touch screen 15. If it is not determined that the touch operation has been released, the process returns to step S39. On the other hand, when it is determined that the touch operation has been released, the process proceeds to step S43, and the guide frame GF is not displayed.

  In step S44, it is determined whether or not the immediately preceding touch position is a position in the river area RV based on an operation input on the touch screen 15. When it is not determined that the immediately preceding touch position is a position in the river area RV, the enlarged display of the tile is ended in step S45, and thereafter, the process returns to step S16. As a result, the tile that has been enlarged and displayed is normally displayed at the original position.

  When it is determined in step S44 that the immediately preceding touch position is a position in the river area RV, the process proceeds to step S46, and a discarded tile for the tile that was touched immediately before is executed. That is, the discarded tile is executed in response to a drag and drop operation on the tile displayed in an enlarged manner. Upon completion of the process in the step S46, the same process as described above is executed in the steps S47 to S49, and thereafter, the process returns to the step S13.

<Effect of this embodiment>
According to the present embodiment, when any of the hand tiles in the hand tile area HA is touched for a flick operation, the degree of advantage related to the formation of a hand based on the combination of hand tiles is determined by the touched hand tile (specific tile). ) Is discriminated whether or not a specific situation is lower when the touched hand tile is discarded than when the touched hand tile is discarded. When it is not determined that the specific situation is reached, the discarded tile processing for the touched hand tile is executed. On the other hand, when it is determined that the specific situation is reached, a specific process different from the discarded tile process is executed.

  When it is not determined that the specific situation is reached, the discarded tile processing is executed by a flick operation simpler than a long tap or the like, so that operability can be improved. In addition, when it is determined that the specific situation is reached, a specific process different from the discarded tile process is performed, so that unintended hand tiles are discarded due to a user's erroneous operation, and the game development unintended by the user is minimized. Can be avoided.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the degree of advantage relating to the formation of a hand based on the combination of the hand tiles when the touched hand tile is discarded, and the hand tile different from the touched hand tile (the touched hand tile The right hand tile and the left hand tile are shown in FIG. 9 (A). When the three pipe tiles are touched in FIG. The degree of advantage related to the formation of the combination based on the combination is specified, and it is determined based on the degree of advantage whether or not the specific situation is reached. This makes it possible to objectively determine whether or not the user's touch operation is an erroneous operation.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, when a combination is established in front of a gate, when a combination of hand tiles includes a Dora tile, a higher score is given to the user than when the combination does not include a Dora tile. However, if the touched hand tile is a drag tile, the advantage point is subtracted. As a result, the operation of discarding the drag tile can be regarded as a user's erroneous operation.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, when the number of schatten is increased by discarding the touch tile, the advantage point is subtracted. As a result, a discarded tile operation that reduces the number of shunts can be regarded as a user's erroneous operation.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, when the position of the touch operation is moved to the river area while the touch operation on any of the hand tiles is maintained, the discarded tile processing is performed irrespective of whether or not a specific situation occurs. Is executed. That is, if the touch operation is a drag-and-drop operation, it is considered that the user is performing the discarded tile operation with due consideration, and the discarded tile processing is executed regardless of whether the discarded tile causes a specific situation. You. Thus, it is possible to prevent the specific processing from being executed in a meaningless manner.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the specific process is a process for confirming with the user whether or not to perform the discard tile processing. This can prompt the user to cancel the erroneous operation.

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

  (1) In the above embodiment, when a flick operation is performed in the hand tile area HA, the hand tile touched by the touch operation constituting the flick operation and the hand on the right of the touched hand tile are performed. Advantage points are specified for three hand tiles, that is, a tile and a hand tile on the left of the touched hand tile. However, when the right hand tile or the left hand tile is a hand tile of a different classification from the touched hand tile (for example, the touched hand tile is a hand tile, and the left hand tile is a man hand tile) In the case of a tile, the identification of the advantage point for the hand tile of the different classification may be omitted. That is, the process of specifying the advantage point may be performed on tiles belonging to the same classification as the touched hand tile. As a result, the load on the process of determining whether or not the user's touch operation is an erroneous operation can be reduced.

  As in the above embodiment, the points of advantage are given for the three hand tiles of the touched hand tile, the right hand tile of the touched hand tile, and the left hand tile of the touched hand tile. In addition to specifying the hand tiles on the left side are different types of hand tiles, and when omitting the identification of the advantage point with respect to the left adjacent hand tiles, the direction in which the different types of hand tiles are located Alternatively, the advantage point may be specified for two tiles arranged oppositely, that is, two tiles on the right of the touched tile. Similarly, if the hand tile on the right is a different type of hand tile and the specification of the advantage point with respect to the hand tile on the right is omitted, the hand tile on the left of the touched hand tile is targeted. May be specified as the advantage point. Thus, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the accuracy of determining whether or not the user's touch operation is an erroneous operation.

  Furthermore, in the situation where there is no hand tile of the same classification as the touched hand tile on the right or left side of the touched hand tile, if the number of shouts goes down when the touched hand tile is discarded, the same applies. A confirmation message may be displayed. As a result, it is possible to reduce a concern that a discarded tile is executed due to a user's erroneous operation.

  (2) In the above-described embodiment, the processing is determined by executing or canceling the confirmation message shown in FIG. However, when no operation is performed for a predetermined period (3 seconds), a discarded tile for the touched hand tile may be executed.

  (3) In the above embodiment, the amount of decrease in the advantage point is the same in the case where the designated hand tile is a Dora tile and in the case where the number of schatten is reduced by discarding the designated hand tile. It is said. However, the amount of decrease in the advantage point may be different between a case where the designated hand tile is a draped tile and a case where the number of schatten is reduced by discarding the designated hand tile.

  (4) In the above embodiment, the confirmation message is displayed when the advantage point of the touched hand tile is the minimum, but when the confirmation message is displayed, the user terminal 100 is displayed together with the display. May be vibrated.

  (5) In the above embodiment, a match is made between a character operated by the user and three characters operated by three other users. However, at least one of the three opponent characters may be an NPC (non-player character).

  (6) In the above embodiment, a vertically long game screen is displayed on the touch screen 15. However, instead of this, a horizontally long game screen may be displayed on the touch screen 15, or the display mode of the game screen may be switched between portrait and landscape depending on the attitude of the user terminal 100. When switching the display mode of the game screen between portrait and landscape, the advantage point is specified for a plurality of hand tiles including the hand tile touched for the flick operation, and confirmed according to the value of the advantage point. The process of displaying a message may be turned on when displaying a vertically long game screen, and may be turned off when displaying a horizontally long game screen, or may be always turned on regardless of the display mode of the game screen. It may be.

  (7) In the above embodiment, when determining whether or not the user intends to discard an unintended tile, specifically, whether or not the tile is a Dora tile and the number of schatten by discarding the tile are determined. Is determined to be both down and down. However, whether or not the user intends to discard unintended tiles is determined by determining whether the tiles are dra tiles or not by discarding the tiles, thereby determining whether or not the number of schatten is reduced. May be determined.

  (8) In the above embodiment, each of the three hand tiles: the touched hand tile, the hand tile on the right of the touched hand tile, and the hand tile on the left of the touched hand tile. , The priority point of the discarded tile is specified, and if the specified priority of the touched tile is the lowest, a confirmation message is displayed. However, the priority order of the discarded tiles is specified for all the hand tiles in the hand tile area HA, and when the priority order of the discarded tiles with respect to the touched hand tiles is lower than a predetermined order (for example, third or lower), a confirmation message is issued. It may be displayed.

  (9) In the above embodiment, the confirmation message includes a character string for confirming whether the discarded tile for the touched tile may be executed, an icon for accepting the execution operation, and an icon for accepting the cancel operation. Composed of However, one of the three hand tiles, the touched hand tile, the hand tile on the right of the touched hand tile, and the hand tile on the left of the touched hand tile, is discarded. And an icon for moving the cursor left and right may be added to the confirmation message, and the discarded tile candidate may be changed by touching the icon. As a result, it is not necessary to execute the processing of steps S26 to S32 again, and the processing load is reduced.

  (10) In the above embodiment, when the flick operation is performed on the tile of the tile, the advantage point is not specified for the tile of the tile. However, when the flick operation is performed on the tile of the tile, the advantage point is specified for the tile of the tile and the point of advantage is determined for the tiles belonging to the same classification as the tile of the tile. The discarded tiles may be executed based on the obtained advantage points. As a result, it is possible to reduce a fear that the tiles are accidentally discarded due to the momentum.

  (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. In this case, each card or flower card corresponds to the identification information.

  (12) In the above embodiment, when the designated tile based on the touch operation is a Dora tile, or when the number of shunts retreats when the designated tile is discarded, the advantage point is subtracted ( (See steps S26 to S31 in FIG. 7). However, with reference to the user's hand tiles, discarded tiles in the field, and the sub-exposure tiles of the user and the opponent, effective tiles (such as tiles that increase waiting time by putting them in hand tiles) from the viewpoint of tile efficiency up to tempai May decrease the advantage point. The number of valid tiles may be reduced, for example, when the number of accepted tiles is reduced, for example, when waiting on one side is stopped from the state of waiting on both sides.

  (13) In the above embodiment, when the position of the touch operation is moved to the river area while the touch operation on any of the hand tiles is maintained, the discard tile processing is performed regardless of whether or not a specific situation occurs. Is to run. However, the discarded tile candidate specified by the touch operation is not limited to the drag operation to the river area. For example, when the touch operation is continued for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) or more, the discarded tile candidate specified by the touch operation is intended by the user. It can be said that the time to confirm whether the tile is a tile is sufficiently secured. For this reason, when the touch operation is continued for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) or more, the discarded tile processing is executed for the discarded tile candidate specified by the touch operation, regardless of whether or not a specific situation occurs. You may do so. In this case, the discarded tile processing may be performed even if the touch operation has not been released when the touch operation reaches the predetermined time, or the touch operation that has been continued for the predetermined time or more may be performed. It may be executed when it is released.

<Appendix>
The items described in the above embodiments are additionally described below.

(Appendix 1):
According to an aspect of an embodiment shown in the present disclosure, a game program executed on a computer (user terminal 100 in FIG. 1) including a processor, a memory, and a touch screen, wherein the game program is executed by the processor A first step (S12, S14 in FIG. 6) of displaying a combination of identification information owned by a user among a plurality of predetermined identification information, and a combination of the identification information displayed in the first step. A second step (S16 in FIG. 6) of specifying a winning combination among a plurality of predetermined combinations, and a touch operation is performed from the identification information displayed in the first step. The third step of identifying the identification information (S22 in FIG. 6) and the degree of advantage related to the establishment of the combination based on the combination of the identification information (the advantage point It is determined whether or not a specific situation is lower when the specific identification information is excluded than when the non-specific identification information different from the specific identification information specified in the third step is excluded. Performing a fourth step (S33 in FIG. 7), and if the fourth step does not determine that the specific situation is to be achieved, performs an exclusion process for excluding the specific identification information from a combination of identification information owned by the user. On the other hand, when it is determined in the fourth step that the specific situation occurs, a fifth step (S46 in FIG. 8 and S34 in FIG. 7) of performing a specific process different from the exclusion process is executed.

(Appendix 2):
In (Supplementary Note 1), the fourth step is based on a combination of a degree of advantage related to a winning combination based on a combination of identification information when the specific identification information is excluded and a combination of identification information when the non-specific identification information is excluded.
