[2. Game outline]
The game system S executes a game in which the game object performs a series of actions including a first partial action and a second partial action performed after the first partial action. Before explaining the specific contents of the game, the meaning of each term such as partial motion and game object will be explained.

  The partial operation is, for example, an individual operation that constitutes a series of operations. For example, a sub-motion is a motion associated with another sub-motion. For example, a series of operations is completed by sequentially performing partial operations. For example, each of the plurality of partial motions is a motion handling a common game object such as a ball or a puck.

  For example, like a defensive action in a baseball game, a character moves, catches a ball, sends a ball, and so on. Each of the above operations is an example of a partial operation. Further, for example, like a shooting motion in a soccer game, a character moves and traps the ball, and the back and forth motions both move and trap in a series of motions that handle an object called a ball. Individual movements such as shooting are examples of partial movements.

  Further, for example, like a shooting motion in a basketball game, a character moves to catch a ball and shoots the caught ball. For example, movements, catches, and shoots in a motion in which front and back motions both handle an object called a ball. Each operation is an example of a partial operation. Also, for example, like a counter attack action in a battle game, the character guards the enemy's attack and counterattacks the enemy, such as a guard counter in a series of actions that both deal with an object called an enemy. Each operation is an example of a partial operation.

  The first partial operation is, for example, a partial operation performed before the second partial operation. For example, the first partial operation is a partial operation performed at the beginning of the series of operations. The first partial operation does not have to be the initial partial operation, and may be a partial operation other than the final partial operation in the series of partial operations. That is, when n (n is an integer of 2 or more) partial operations are sequentially performed, one of the first to n-1th partial operations is the first partial operation.

  The second partial operation is, for example, a partial operation performed after the first partial operation. For example, the second partial motion may be performed immediately after the first partial motion, or another motion may exist between the first partial motion and the second partial motion. The second partial operation does not have to be the last partial operation, and may be any partial operation performed after the first partial operation among the partial operations in the series of operations. That is, when the n partial operations are sequentially performed, if the first partial operation is the k (k is a natural number of 1 to n−1) th partial operation, one of the k + 1 th to n th The partial operation of is the second partial operation.

  For example, in a baseball game, if the first partial motion is movement, the second partial motion is catching or throwing. Further, for example, if the first partial motion is catching a ball, the second partial motion is a pitching ball. Further, for example, in a soccer game, if the first partial motion is movement, the second partial motion is a trap or a shoot. Further, for example, if the first partial operation is a trap, the second partial operation is a chute. Further, for example, in a basketball game, if the first partial motion is movement, the second partial motion is catch or shoot. Further, for example, if the first partial motion is catch, the second partial motion is shoot. Further, for example, in the battle game, if the first partial motion is a guard, the second partial motion is a counter (counterattack).

  The series of operations is, for example, an operation including at least a first partial operation and a second partial operation. For example, the series of operations may include three or more partial operations, and may include partial operations other than the first partial operation and the second partial operation. Further, for example, the series of motions is a motion in which each partial motion handles a common game object such as a ball, a puck, or an enemy. The defensive action in the baseball game, the shoot action in the soccer game, and the shoot action in the basketball game described above are actions that handle a common game object called a ball, and are examples of a series of actions. Further, the counter attack in the battle game described above is an operation of handling a common game object called an enemy, and is an example of a series of operations.

  The game object is, for example, a game character, a game card, or a game item. For example, the game object is a three-dimensional model arranged in the game space or an image arranged on a two-dimensional plane.

  In the present embodiment, the processing of the game system S will be described by taking a baseball game as an example. Further, a case where a fielder character performs a series of actions such as moving, catching, and throwing a ball when a defensive opportunity comes during a game will be described. Therefore, in this embodiment, the fielder character corresponds to a game object. Each of moving, catching, and sending a ball corresponds to a partial motion. The defensive action including moving, catching, and throwing a ball corresponds to a series of actions.

  FIG. 2 is a screen transition diagram showing how a match progresses. In the present embodiment, as a general rule, the game progresses without any user operation, and as shown in FIG. 2, only the rough game situation of the game is displayed in the game image G1. In the present embodiment, how the display of the game image G1 changes is described by adding an alphabet to the end of the reference sign of "G1" such as "G1A". However, when there is no particular need to distinguish it, simply "G1" Will be described.

  As shown in the game image G1A, when the match starts, a message indicating the start of the match is displayed on the list of characters participating in the match. In this embodiment, the game proceeds by executing a simple simulation based on the parameters of the characters of both teams. Various methods can be applied to the simulation itself. For example, the hit result is determined based on the parameters of the batter character and the pitcher character. Further, the simulation may be based not only on the regular members who are characters who participate in the game from the beginning, but also on the parameters of the alternate character (not shown in G1) that is predetermined as the team.

  As shown in the game image G1B, immediately after the start of the match, the parameters of the batter character “Tanaka” who is the first batter in the first “Team A” and the pitcher “Kikuchi” in the second “Team B”. The batting result is determined based on the pitcher character parameter. The subsequent batters are similarly simulated and the game proceeds.

  As shown in the game image G1C, when the front side is finished once, the attack and defense are changed and the back side is started once. In the example of the game image G1C, the parameters of the batter character “Ikeda” who is the first batter of the subsequent “Team B” and the parameters of the pitcher character “Kiyama” of the previous “Team A” are the parameters. , The hit result is determined, and the hit ball is hit, error, or out is determined based on the parameters of the “team A” fielder. The subsequent batters are similarly simulated.

  In the present embodiment, when a defense opportunity for an ally team arrives, a game operation is possible. That is, when the defense opportunity comes, the operation opportunity comes. For example, the game operation may be possible when the ball flies in the field range of the fielder character of the ally team, or the game operation is possible when the batter character hits in a predetermined outcount or a predetermined base condition. May be. It should be noted that the target of the fielder character to which the operation opportunity comes may be a character having a small defensive opportunity such as a pitcher, a catcher, and a first baseman. As shown in the game image G1D, when the defense opportunity comes, a message M10 indicating the situation of the game is displayed on the display unit 15, and the display of the game image G1 is switched.

  FIG. 3 is a screen transition diagram of the game image G1 when the defense opportunity comes. As shown in FIG. 3, a state of the game space is displayed in the game image G1E. The game space is a virtual space in which characters are arranged, and may be three-dimensional or two-dimensional. For example, a field is arranged in the game space, and a fielder character C1, a pitcher character C2, a batter character C3, and the like are arranged on the field.

  Alternatively, for example, a catcher character, a runner character, a referee character, and the like may be arranged in the game space. In this embodiment, the batter character C3 does not bunt, and the runner character does not steal, but actively runs. Further, for example, a virtual camera is set in the game space. For example, the virtual camera may be set at a position behind the fielder character C1 so that the fielder character C1 is included in the field of view.

  For example, the game image G1E is for displaying a display area A11 for displaying information such as the name and ability of the batter character, a display area A12 for displaying the status of the game, and a bonus generated in this defense opportunity. Of the display area A13. In the present embodiment, points are awarded when the game operations of movement, ball catching, and ball throwing in the defensive action are successful, and a bonus of the points to be awarded is displayed in the display area A13.

  The bonus may be set according to the ability parameter of the fielder character who has come to the defense opportunity. For example, as will be described later in detail, when the character is trained in the first game part as in the modified example, a bonus may be generated according to the ability parameter of the trained character. For example, the higher the ability parameter, the higher the bonus may be. In this case, it is possible to acquire more points by training a character having a high ability parameter in advance.

  After the game image G1E is displayed, as shown in the game images G1F and G1G, the pitcher character C2 of the ally team starts the pitching motion and throws the ball B. Here, it is assumed that the pitcher character C2 starts the pitching motion regardless of the game operation. As shown in the game image G1H, when the batter character C3 of the opponent team hits the ball B, a movement operation for moving the fielder character C1 is accepted.

  FIG. 4 is a screen transition diagram of the game image G1 when a moving operation is performed. As shown in FIG. 4, a ball B hit by the batter character C3 is displayed in the game image G1I, and a mark image G2 is displayed so as to surround the ball B. The mark image G2 is an image for emphasizing the position of the ball B, and is displayed in a prominent color such as red or yellow. The mark image G2 moves with the ball B.

  When the game image G1I is displayed, the moving operation is accepted from the operation unit 14. In the present embodiment, the moving operation is an operation for instructing the moving direction of the fielder character C1, and is performed by flicking the touch panel of the operation unit 14, for example. The movement operation may be any operation other than flicking, and may be swipe, for example, or an operation of displaying a virtual pad (virtual controller) on the display unit 15 and sliding the virtual pad. It may be. As shown in the game image G1I, a guide image G3 for guiding the direction to be instructed by the moving operation is displayed at the feet of the fielder character C1.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing details of the guide image G3. As shown in FIG. 5, the guide image G3 of this embodiment has a circular shape in the game space, but is displayed in an elliptical shape on the screen due to the angle relationship of the virtual camera. For example, the guide image G3 includes areas A30 to A33, and each area is color-coded. In FIG. 5, the difference in color between the areas A30 to A33 is schematically represented by the density of halftone dots. The number of regions included in the guide image G3 is not limited to four and may include two, three, or five or more regions.

  For example, the success or failure of the moving operation is evaluated by the relationship between the direction instructed by the moving operation and the areas A30 to A33. For example, the evaluation result of the moving operation is determined depending on which of the areas A30 to A33 is instructed when viewed from the center point O of the guide image G3. In other words, the success or failure of the moving operation is evaluated based on the region where the straight line extended in the direction designated by the moving operation passes with the center point O as a reference. For example, the touch panel is regarded as a field in the game space, the direction designated on the touch panel is converted into the direction in the game space, and the success or failure of the moving operation is evaluated.

  The direction instructed by the moving operation may be a direction from a tapped (touched on) position of the touch panel to an untapped (touched off) position or a flicked direction. Further, it may be a direction from the tap position (touch start position) to the current touch position when the tap is not followed by untap for a predetermined time. The tap position may be anywhere on the screen, but it is better to perform it at the center of the touch panel as much as possible because a sufficient movement distance can be secured in the left, right, up, and down directions.

  For example, the area A30 is an area indicating the direction to be instructed by the moving operation, and the highest evaluation is given when the area A30 is instructed by the moving operation. In this case, the probability that the fielder character C1 will catch up with the ball B (probability of successful movement) is the highest. The position of the area A30 in the guide image G3 may be determined based on the positional relationship between the fielder character C1 and the ball B, or may be determined in consideration of the running force parameter of the fielder character C1. For example, when the ball B is flying to the front right of the fielder character C1, the area A30 is at the upper right, and when the ball B is flying behind the left behind the fielder character C1, the area A30 is at the lower left. That is, the position of the area A30 is determined so that the direction in which the ball B flies as viewed from the fielder character C1 and the direction in which the area A30 is located as viewed from the center point O are the same. The ball B may fly in front of the fielder character C1, and in this case, the area A30 is arranged on the upper side.

  Further, for example, when the area A31 is designated by the moving operation, the evaluation is the second highest. In this case, the probability that the fielder character C1 will catch up with the ball B is relatively high. For example, the area A31 is arranged so as to sandwich the area A30. Further, for example, when the area A32 is designated by the moving operation, the evaluation is the third highest. In this case, the probability that the fielder character C1 will catch up with the ball B is not so high. For example, the area A32 is arranged so as to sandwich the areas A30 and A31. Further, for example, when the area A33 is designated by the moving operation, the evaluation is the lowest. In this case, the probability that the fielder character C1 will catch up with the ball B is considerably low. The area A33 is an area other than the areas A30 to A32.

  Since the movement of the fielder character C1 is most likely to succeed when the area A30 is instructed by the movement operation, the movement operation is more likely to be successful if the area A30 is wider, and is likely to fail if the area A30 is smaller. In other words, the moving operation is more likely to succeed as the area A33 is smaller, and more likely to fail as the area A33 is wider. In the present embodiment, the size of each of the areas A30 to A33 is determined based on the running force parameter indicating the speed of the foot of the fielder character C1.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the relationship between the running force parameter and the areas A30 to A33 of the guide image G3. As shown in FIG. 6, in the present embodiment, the higher the running force parameter of the fielder character C1, the wider the area A30, and the lower the running force parameter of the fielder character C1, the narrower the area A30. In other words, the area A33 becomes narrower as the running parameter of the fielder character C1 is higher, and the area A33 becomes wider as the running parameter of the fielder character C1 is lower. The size of the area A33 may be fixed, and the difficulty level may be adjusted by the ratio of the areas A30 to A32.

  If the running force parameter is extremely low, the area A30 may be eliminated. In addition, when the ratio of the area A30 calculated from the running force parameter is less than the threshold value, the ratio of the area A30 may be set to 0 and added to the ratio of the area A31. Further, when the ratio of the area A31 is less than the threshold value, the area A32 may ensure the predetermined ratio. When the ratio of the area A30 is added to the area A31, it may be determined whether or not the ratio is less than the threshold value based on the ratio of the area A31 after the addition.

  Returning to FIG. 4, when the guide image G3 is displayed in the game image G1I, a flick is performed on the screen and a moving operation is performed so as to point to the area A30. For example, when the area A30 is designated by the moving operation, a high evaluation result such as “MOVE EXCELLENT !!” is displayed in the display area A14 as shown in the game image G1J. Further, during or after the moving operation, the guide image G4 indicating the direction instructed by the moving operation may be displayed. In the example of the game image G1J, the guide image G4 is displayed so as to point to the area A30.

  For example, when the area A31 is designated by the moving operation, the second highest evaluation result such as “MOVE GOOD!” Is displayed in the display area A14, and the guide image G4 is displayed to point to the area A31. Further, for example, when the area A32 is designated by the moving operation, the third highest evaluation result such as “MOVE NORMAL!” Is displayed in the display area A14, and the guide image G4 is displayed so as to point to the area A32. Further, for example, when the area A33 is designated by the moving operation, the lowest evaluation result such as “MOVE BAD!” Is displayed in the display area A14, and the guide image G4 is displayed so as to point to the area A33.

  Note that when the moving operation is accepted (that is, when the guide image G3 is displayed), the reproduction speed of the video may not be particularly changed, or the video may be temporarily stopped. Then, it is assumed that the video reproduction speed becomes slow. Therefore, when the movement operation is accepted, the fielder character C1 and the ball B move slowly. Further, although the video reproduction speed may be a fixed value, in the present embodiment, the reproduction speed during the moving operation is determined based on at least one of the defense force parameter and the skill parameter of the fielder character C1. .. For example, the reproduction speed may be slower as the defense force parameter is higher, and the reproduction speed may be faster as the defense force parameter is lower. In addition, for example, when the fielder character C1 possesses special defense skills, the reproduction speed may be slowed down.

  Further, although the time limit for performing the moving operation may not be particularly set, in the present embodiment, the time limit is set for the moving operation, and the time limit is set until the ball B passes the fielder character C1's defensive range. And For this reason, the slower the video playback speed, the longer the time limit and the slower the moving operation, the more slowly the moving operation can be performed. On the other hand, the faster the video playback speed, the shorter the time limit and the immediate movement operation, which increases the difficulty of the movement operation. In this way, the difficulty level of the moving operation may be adjusted according to the time limit (reproduction speed).

  When the moving operation is performed, the fielder character C1 moves toward the ball B, as shown in the game images G1K and G1L in FIG. The fielder character C1 may move in the direction indicated by the moving operation, or the moving operation may be used only for evaluation of the game operation, and the moving direction of the fielder character C1 may be predetermined according to the game situation. For example, if the fielder character C1 is in front of the ground, it may move to the front regardless of the direction of the moving operation, and if it is to the right side, it may move to the right side. If so, the fielder character C1 may jump. In the example of FIG. 4, since the area A30 is instructed by the moving operation, the fielder character has successfully moved, catching up with the ball B, and being able to catch the ball. In this state, a ball catching operation for causing the fielder character C1 to catch a ball can be accepted.

  FIG. 7 is a screen transition diagram of the game image G1 when the catching operation is performed. As shown in FIG. 7, the game image G1M displays that the fielder character C1 is in the catching posture, and the catching operation is accepted from the operation unit 14.

  In the present embodiment, the catching operation is an operation for instructing the catching timing of the fielder character C1, and is performed by tapping the touch panel of the operation unit 14, for example. The ball catching operation may be any operation other than tapping, and may be, for example, a flick or a swipe, or an operation of displaying a virtual button on the display unit 15 and touching the button. May be. As shown in the game image G1M, in the vicinity of the fielder character C1, a guide image G5 for guiding the timing to be instructed by the ball catching operation is displayed.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing details of the guide image G5. As shown in FIG. 8, the guide image G5 includes areas A50 to A53, and each area is color-coded. In FIG. 8, the difference in color between the areas A50 to A53 is schematically represented by the density of halftone dots. The guide image G5 is color-coded into four areas A50 to A53. The number of areas included in the guide image G5 is not limited to four, and may include two, three, or five or more areas.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the case where the guide image G5 is long in the horizontal direction (horizontal direction) will be described, but the guide image G5 may be long in the vertical direction (vertical direction). For example, a guide image G5 that is long in the lateral direction is used for catching a grounding ball, and a guide image G5 that is long in the vertical direction is used for catching a fly. Good.

  As shown in the guide image G5, the cursor C54 is displayed at one end (for example, the left end) of the area A50 and gradually moves toward the other end (for example, the right end). Although the moving speed of the cursor C54 is constant here, the moving speed of the cursor C54 may change. Further, although the case where the moving direction of the cursor C54 is constant will be described, the cursor C54 may be temporarily stopped midway or moved in the opposite direction. For example, when the catching operation is performed, the cursor C54 stops. For example, the success or failure of the ball catching operation is evaluated by the area in which the cursor C54 is stopped among the areas A50 to A53.

  For example, the area A52 is an area where the cursor C54 should be stopped, and the highest evaluation is obtained when the cursor C54 is stopped on the area A52 by the ball catching operation. In this case, the probability of successfully catching the ball is highest. Further, for example, when the cursor C54 is stopped on the area A51 by the catching operation, the evaluation is second highest. In this case, the probability of succeeding in catching a ball is rather high. Further, for example, when the cursor C54 is stopped on the area A50 by the catching operation, the evaluation is the third highest. In this case, the probability of successfully catching the ball does not become so high. Further, for example, when the cursor C54 is stopped on the area A53 by the ball catching operation, the evaluation is the lowest. In this case, the probability of successfully catching the ball is considerably low.

  When the cursor C54 is stopped on the area A52, the catching operation is most likely to be successful. Therefore, the wider the area A52 is, the easier the catching operation is, and the narrower the area A52 is, the easier the catching operation is. In other words, the catching operation is more likely to be successful when the area A53 is narrower and is more likely to fail when the area A53 is wider. In the present embodiment, the size of the areas A50 to A53 is determined based on the catching parameter indicating the catching ability of the fielder character C1. The size of the area A53 may be fixed, or the difficulty level may be adjusted by the ratio of the areas A50 to A52.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the relationship between the catching parameter and the areas A50 to A53 of the guide image G5. As shown in FIG. 9, in the present embodiment, the higher the catching parameter of the fielder character C1, the wider the area A52, and the lower the catching parameter of the fielder character C1, the narrower the area A52. In other words, the area A53 becomes narrower as the catching parameter of the fielder character C1 is higher, and the area A53 becomes wider as the catching parameter of the fielder character C1 is lower. As shown in FIG. 9, when the catching parameter is extremely low, the area A52 may be completely eliminated and the area A53 may be almost occupied.

  Returning to FIG. 7, when the guide image G5 is displayed in the game image G1M, the cursor C54 gradually moves to the right as shown in the game images G1N and G1O. As shown in the game image G1P, when the ball catching operation is performed in a timely manner and the cursor C54 is stopped on the area A52, a high evaluation result such as “CATCH EXCELLENT !!” is displayed in the display area A15.

  For example, when the cursor C54 is stopped on the area A51 by the catching operation, the second highest evaluation result such as "CATCH GOOD!" Is displayed on the display area A15. Further, for example, when the cursor C54 is stopped on the area A50 by the ball catching operation, the third highest evaluation result such as “CATCH NORMAL!” Is displayed on the display area A14. Further, for example, when the cursor C54 is stopped on the area A53 by the ball catching operation, the lowest evaluation result such as "MOVE BAD!" Is displayed on the display area A14.

  Note that when the catching operation is accepted (that is, when the guide image G5 is displayed), the video playback speed may not be particularly changed, or the video may be paused. In the form, it is assumed that the video reproduction speed becomes slow. Therefore, when the catching operation is accepted, the fielder character C1 and the ball B move slowly. Furthermore, the reproduction speed during the catching operation may be determined based on the skill parameter of the fielder character C1 or the like, but in the present embodiment, it is a fixed value regardless of the fielder character C1.

  In addition, although the time limit for performing the ball catching operation may not be particularly set, in the present embodiment, the time limit is set for the ball catching operation, and the time until the ball B touches the glove of the fielder character C1 is limited. Time. The timing at which the cursor C54 reaches the right end is set in accordance with the timing at which the ball B touches the glove of the fielder character C1. If the cursor C54 reaches the right end without performing the catch operation, the ball is caught. It is determined that the operation has failed. If the time limit is not set, the cursor C54 may return to the left end (initial position) after reaching the right end and repeatedly move in a loop in the guide image G5. In this case, the video may be paused.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the virtual camera may be behind the fielder character C1 and the destination may not be displayed on the screen until the fielder character C1 catches the ball. Therefore, after the fielder character C1 catches the ball, The virtual camera moves so that the base of the ball is displayed. The base to which the ball is to be sent is predetermined according to the situation of the game. For example, when there is a runner, the first or second base of the runner may be the destination of the ball, and when there is no runner, the first base or the second base may be the destination of the ball.

  FIG. 10: is a figure which shows a mode that a virtual camera moves after the fielder character C1 catches a ball. Here, the case where the fielder character C1 is a second baseman and the destination of the ball is a second baseman will be described. As shown in FIG. 10, the virtual camera VC behind the fielder character C1 moves to the left side of the fielder character C1 so as to face the second base direction of the ball destination. That is, the virtual camera VC moves so that both the second base to which the ball is sent and the fielder character C1 are within the field of view.

  While the virtual camera VC is moving, the video playback speed may be slow, the video may be paused, or the video playback speed may be returned to the normal speed. As shown in the game images G1Q and G1R of FIG. 10, after the fielder character C1 catches a ball, the virtual camera VC moves around the fielder character C1 so as to move around, thereby making it possible to give a sense of reality to the game. The mark image G2 may be deleted at the timing when the fielder character C1 catches the ball, or may be deleted at the timing when the guide image G5 is displayed. When the virtual camera VC moves as shown in FIG. 10, a ball-sending operation for causing the fielder character C1 to send a ball is accepted.

  FIG. 11 is a screen transition diagram of the game image G1 when a ball sending operation is performed. As shown in FIG. 11, the game image G1S displays a base to which the ball is to be sent and a fielder character C4 (here, a shortstop) who is the receiver of the ball, and the ball sending operation is accepted from the operation unit 14.

  In the present embodiment, the ball-sending operation is an operation for instructing a position on the screen. For example, by using the touch panel of the operation unit 14, the ball image G7 is dragged and dropped onto the guide image G6. Done. The display position (initial position) of the ball image G7 may be a fixed position, may be randomly determined, or may be determined based on a shoulder force parameter indicating the strength of the shoulder of the fielder character C1. For example, the display position of the ball image G7 may be closer to the guide image G6 as the shoulder force parameter is higher, and may be farther from the guide image G6 as the shoulder force parameter is lower.

  The throwing operation may be any operation other than drag and drop, and may be, for example, a flick, a swipe, or a tap, or a virtual pad may be displayed on the display unit 15 and the virtual pad may be moved. It may be an operation. As shown in the game image G1S, a guide image G6 for guiding the position to be instructed by the ball-sending operation is displayed on the base of the ball-sending destination.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram showing details of the guide image G6. As shown in FIG. 12, a case where the guide image G6 is circular will be described, but the guide image G6 may be any shape such as a quadrangle or a triangle. Further, although the time limit for performing the moving operation may not be particularly provided, in the present embodiment, the time limit is provided for the ball sending operation, and the guide image G6 displays the mark M60 for guiding the time limit. Including.

  For example, the color of the mark M60 changes over time, and the change of the color of the mark M60 guides the remaining time of the time limit. As shown by the mark M60A in FIG. 12, for example, the first color (for example, black) is present at the time when the acceptance of the ball-sending operation is started, but as shown by the marks M60B to M60D, the time elapses. , When the area of the second color (for example, white) increases and the area of the first color decreases, and when the time limit is reached, all the areas become the second color.

  Here, the case where the time limit is guided by the ratio of the first color and the second color has been described, but the time limit may be guided by changing the area of the mark M60. For example, the area of the mark M60 may be gradually reduced with the passage of time, and the mark M60 may be eliminated when the time limit is reached. On the contrary, the area of the mark M60 may gradually increase with the passage of time, and the mark M60 may be entirely displayed when the time limit is reached.

  For example, if the ball image G7 is dragged and dropped within the guide image G6 within the time limit, the ball sending operation is successful. Therefore, the ball sending operation is more likely to succeed as the guide image G6 is larger, and is more likely to fail as the guide image G6 is smaller. In the present embodiment, the size of the guide image G6 is determined based on the skill parameter indicating the skill of the fielder character C1 to throw a ball.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the relationship between the skill parameter and the size of the guide image G6. As shown in FIG. 13, in the present embodiment, the higher the pitching skill held by the fielder character C1 is, the larger the guide image G6 is, and the lower the pitching skill held by the fielder character C1 is, the smaller the guide image G6 is. The size of the guide image G6 may be affected by the distance between the fielder character C1 and the ball sending destination. In this case, the guide image G6 may be larger as the distance is shorter, and the guide image G6 may be smaller as the distance is longer.

  Returning to FIG. 11, when the guide image G6 is displayed on the game image G1S, a ball sending operation is performed so as to move the ball image G7 into the guide image G6. As shown in the game images G1S to G1U, a cursor C70 is displayed near the ball image G7 so as to point in the direction of the guide image G6. As shown in the game image G1U, when the ball image G7 passes over the guide image G6, the display position of the cursor C70 changes so as to indicate the original direction.

  For example, when the ball image G7 is dragged and dropped by the ball-sending operation with the ball image G7 slightly protruding from the guide image G6, the second highest evaluation result such as “THROW GOOD!” Is displayed in the display area A16. Further, for example, when the ball image G7 is dragged and dropped in a state where the ball image G7 is completely contained in the guide image G6 by the ball-sending operation, the highest evaluation result such as “THROW EXCELLENT !!” is displayed in the display area A16. .. Further, for example, when the ball image G7 is dragged and dropped without being contained in the guide image G6 due to the ball-sending operation, the third highest evaluation result such as “THROW NORMAL!” Is displayed in the display area A16. In addition, for example, when the ball image G7 is dragged and dropped without being contained in the guide image G6 by the ball sending operation or when the ball image G7 cannot be dragged and dropped within the time limit, the lowest evaluation result such as "THROW BAD!" Is displayed in the display area A16.

  It should be noted that when the ball-sending operation is accepted (that is, when the guide image G3 is displayed), the video playback speed may not be particularly changed, or the video may be paused. Then, it is assumed that the video reproduction speed becomes slow. Therefore, when the ball sending operation is accepted, the fielder character C1 and the ball B slowly move. Furthermore, the playing speed during the ball-sending operation may be determined based on the shoulder force parameter of the fielder character C1, but in the present embodiment, it is a fixed value regardless of the fielder character C1.

  The time limit for the ball-sending operation may be a fixed value regardless of the fielder character C1, but here it is assumed to be determined based on the shoulder force parameter of the fielder character C1 or the like. For example, the higher the shoulder force parameter, the longer the time limit, and the lower the shoulder force parameter, the shorter the time limit. The longer the time limit for the ball-sending operation, the more carefully the ball-sending operation can be performed, and the lower the difficulty of the ball-sending operation. On the other hand, as the time limit for the ball-sending operation becomes shorter, the ball-sending operation has to be performed sooner, which increases the difficulty of the ball-sending operation. In this way, the difficulty of the ball-sending operation may be adjusted depending on the time limit.

  Further, in the present embodiment, since the reproduction time during the ball-sending operation is fixed, when changing the time-limit for the ball-sending operation, the time is extended to the front side rather than the rear side in the time series of the image. By doing so, the end of the time limit may be matched with the completion of the ball delivery. When the ball-sending operation is performed, the fielder character C1 sends a ball to the base of the ball-destination.

  FIG. 14 is a screen transition diagram after the fielder character C1 throws a ball. As shown in FIG. 14, the game image G1W displays a situation in which the fielder character C1 throws a ball to the base of the ball destination. As shown in the game image G1X, when the fielder character C4 receives a throw, a determination result such as out or safe is displayed. After that, as shown in the game images G1Y and G1Z, the fielder character C4 may send the ball to the first base to complete the double play (the batter character C3 is also out). For example, completing double play may increase the points earned.

  As described above, the game system S of the present embodiment has a configuration capable of improving the fun of the game by finely evaluating a series of movements such as movement, ball catching, and ball throwing in the defensive movement. Hereinafter, the details of the configuration will be described.

[3. Functions realized in game system]
FIG. 15 is a functional block diagram showing functions related to the present invention among the functions realized by the game system S. In the present embodiment, a case will be described in which the main functions of the game are realized in the game terminal 10. Therefore, in the game terminal 10, the data storage unit 100, the first reception unit 101, the first setting unit 102, the first evaluation unit 103, the first motion control unit 104, the second reception unit 105, the second setting unit 106, The second evaluation unit 107, the second motion control unit 108, the first reward determination unit 109, the second reward determination unit 110, and the simulation unit 111 are realized.

[3-1. Data storage]
The data storage unit 100 is realized mainly by the storage unit 12. The data storage unit 100 stores data necessary for executing a game. Here, the character data DT1 and the game situation data DT2 will be described as an example of the data stored in the data storage unit 100.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a data storage example of the character data DT1. As shown in FIG. 16, the character data DT1 is data relating to the character, and stores, for example, a character ID uniquely identifying the character, a name, a position, and a parameter. It should be noted that the character data DT1 may store other information regarding the character, for example, an image of the character.

  Although only one parameter may be associated with the character, in the present embodiment, the character is associated with the first parameter and the second parameter. That is, a case where a plurality of parameters are associated with a character will be described.

  The parameter is, for example, a parameter indicating the level of ability. The parameter is not limited to the numerical value indicating the ability value, but may be a parameter indicating the presence or absence of skill (special ability). As the skill parameter, a skill related to each partial motion may be prepared. For example, in the case of the defensive action described in the embodiment, the skill may be prepared for each partial action such as the skill regarding movement, the skill regarding catching, and the skill relating to throwing.

  For example, in a baseball game, running parameters, shoulder parameters, defensive parameters, ball catching parameters, and skill parameters may be prepared. Further, for example, in a soccer game, parameters such as running ability parameter, technical ability parameter, shooting ability parameter, and skill parameter may be prepared. Further, for example, in a basketball game, parameters such as a running force parameter, a ball catching force parameter, a shooting force parameter, and a skill parameter may be prepared. Further, for example, in a battle game, parameters such as defense power parameter, attack power parameter, and skill parameter may be prepared.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram showing a data storage example of the game situation data DT2. As shown in FIG. 17, the game situation data DT2 is data relating to the situation of the game, and for example, the situation of the game space and the situation of the game are stored.

  As the situation of the game space, the position, direction, posture, moving speed, etc. of the character in the game space are stored. The position in the game space is indicated by the coordinate value of the coordinate axis set in the game space. The position of the ball and the moving speed may be stored in the situation of the game space, or the position of the virtual camera and the line-of-sight direction may be stored. As the status of the game, for example, the current inning, the score of each team, the ball count, the strike count, the out count, etc. are stored. In addition, for example, the base status of each base may be stored in the game status data DT2.

  The data stored in the data storage unit 100 is not limited to the above example. The data storage unit 100 may store data necessary for the game. For example, the data storage unit 100 may store motion data of partial motions such as movement, ball catching, and ball throwing, or may store motion data of a series of motions including a plurality of these partial motions. The motion data is data that defines the movement of the character (changes in the vertex coordinates of the 3D model), and the motion of the character causes the character to move in the game space. Alternatively, for example, the data storage unit 100 may store image data of each image displayed on the display unit 15.

[3-2. First reception section]
The first reception unit 101 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. The first accepting unit 101 accepts a first game operation corresponding to the first partial motion. For example, the first reception unit 101 receives the first game operation based on the detection signal of the operation unit 14.

  The game operation is, for example, an operation performed from the operation unit 14 during execution of the game. For example, the game operation is an operation for moving a game object. Further, for example, different game operations may be prepared for each partial motion. Further, for example, if the operation unit 14 is a touch panel, operations such as flicks, taps, and drag-and-drops are examples of game operations. Further, for example, if the operation unit 14 is a game controller, the operation of pressing the cross key, the operation of tilting the stick, and the operation of pressing the button are examples of the game operation. Further, for example, when using a sensor that detects the movement of a person or a game controller, an operation of holding the hand or the game controller to a predetermined position, an operation of moving the hand or the game controller in a predetermined direction, etc. are one example of the game operation. is there. In addition, for example, when a voice input is used, producing a predetermined voice is an example of a game operation.

  The first game operation is, for example, a game operation input when the first partial motion is performed. Further, for example, the first game operation is a game operation to be performed in the first partial motion. Further, for example, the first game operation is a game operation performed to make the first partial motion successful. Further, for example, the first game operation is an operation performed before the second game operation. Note that another game operation may be performed between the first game operation and the second game operation, or the second game operation may be performed immediately after the first game operation.

  The second game operation is, for example, a game operation input when the second partial motion is performed. Further, for example, the second game operation is a game operation to be performed in the second partial motion. Further, for example, the second game operation is a game operation performed to make the second partial motion successful. The first game operation and the second game operation may be different operations or the same operation. That is, the first game operation and the second game operation may be performed by repeatedly performing the same type of game operation.

  For example, in a baseball game, if the first partial motion is moving and the second partial motion is catching or sending a ball, the first game operation is a moving operation and the second game operation is a catching operation or a sending operation. is there. Further, for example, if the first partial motion is ball catching and the second partial motion is ball throwing, the first game operation is a ball catching operation and the second game operation is a ball throwing operation.

  Further, for example, in a soccer game, if the first partial motion is movement and the second partial motion is trapping or shooting, the first game operation is moving operation and the second game operation is trapping operation or shooting operation. .. Further, for example, if the first partial operation is a trap and the second partial operation is a shoot, the first game operation is a trap operation and the second game operation is a shoot operation.

  Further, for example, in a basketball game, if the first partial motion is movement and the second partial motion is catch or shoot, the first game operation is moving operation and the second game operation is catch operation or shoot operation. .. Further, for example, if the first partial motion is a catch and the second partial motion is a shoot, the first game operation is a catch operation and the second game operation is a shoot operation. Further, for example, in a battle game, if the first partial motion is a guard and the second partial motion is a counter, the first game operation is a guard operation and the second game operation is a counter attack operation.

  For example, when the operation unit 14 is a touch panel, if the first game operation is flick, the second game operation is tap or drag and drop. Further, for example, if the first game operation is tap, the second game operation is drag and drop. Further, for example, when the operation unit 14 is a game controller, if the first game operation is an operation of pushing the first direction of the cross key, the second game operation is an operation of pushing the second direction of the cross key. Further, for example, if the first game operation is an operation of tilting the stick in the first direction, the second game operation is an operation of tilting the stick in the second direction. Further, for example, if the first game operation is the operation of pressing the first button, the second game operation is the operation of pressing the second button.

  Further, for example, when a sensor for detecting the movement of a person or a game controller is used, if the first game operation is an operation of holding the hand or the game controller over the first position, the second game operation is the hand or the game controller. This is an operation of holding it over the second position. Further, for example, if the first game operation is an operation of moving the hand or the game controller in the first direction, the second game operation is an operation of moving the hand or the game controller in the second direction. Further, for example, when using voice input, if the first game operation is an operation of inputting the first voice, the second game operation is an operation of inputting the second voice.

[3-3. First setting section]
The first setting unit 102 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. The first setting unit 102 executes processing for setting the difficulty level of the first game operation based on the first parameter.

  The first parameter is a parameter for setting the difficulty level of the first game operation, and is a parameter associated with the first partial motion. In other words, the first parameter is a parameter indicating the capability regarding the first partial operation. For example, in a baseball game, if the first partial motion is movement, the first parameter may be a running force parameter or a skill parameter related to movement. Further, for example, if the first partial motion is catching a ball, the first parameter may be a catching parameter or a skill parameter related to catching a ball.

  Further, for example, in the soccer game, if the first partial motion is movement, the first parameter may be a running force parameter or a skill parameter related to movement. Further, for example, if the first partial operation is a trap, the first parameter may be a technical skill parameter or a skill parameter related to the trap. Further, for example, in the basketball game, if the first partial motion is movement, the first parameter may be a running force parameter or a skill parameter related to movement. Further, for example, if the first partial motion is catch, the first parameter may be a catch force parameter or a skill parameter related to catch. Further, for example, in the battle game, if the first partial motion is a guard, the first parameter may be a defense parameter or a skill parameter relating to defense.

  The process for setting the difficulty level of the game operation is, for example, a process for changing the difficulty level of the game operation. Further, for example, it may be processing for changing the easiness of successful game operation, or processing for changing the easiness of failed game operation. For example, in the case of a game operation for instructing a direction, it is changing a predetermined direction to be instructed by the game operation. In this case, the wider the predetermined direction is, the lower the difficulty is, and the narrower the predetermined direction is, the higher the difficulty is. In the present embodiment, the direction in which the area A30 is present corresponds to the predetermined direction. In other words, the wider the predetermined direction, the easier the success of the game operation, and the narrower the predetermined direction, the easier the failure of the game operation.

  Further, for example, in the case of a game operation operated at a predetermined timing, it means changing the timing at which the game operation should be performed. In this case, the slower the timing at which the game operation should be performed, the lower the difficulty level, and the earlier the timing at which the game operation should be performed, the higher the difficulty level. In other words, the later the timing at which the game operation should be performed, the easier the game operation will succeed, and the earlier the timing at which the game operation should be performed, the more likely the game operation will fail. In addition, for example, the longer the period for accepting a game operation, the lower the difficulty, and the shorter the period for accepting a game operation, the higher the difficulty. In other words, the longer the period of accepting the game operation, the easier the success of the game operation, and the shorter the period of accepting the game operation, the easier the failure of the game operation.

  Further, for example, the timing at which the game operation should be performed may be changed by changing the moving speed of the image that guides the timing at which the game operation should be performed. In this case, the lower the moving speed of the image, the lower the difficulty, and the higher the moving speed of the image, the higher the difficulty. In other words, the slower the moving speed of the image, the easier the success of the game operation, and the faster the moving speed of the image, the easier the failure of the game operation. For example, the moving speed of the image is high when the period during which the game operation is possible is short, and the moving speed of the image is low when the period during which the game operation is possible is long. In the present embodiment, the period during which the cursor C54 moves on the area A52 corresponds to the timing at which the game operation should be performed, and the cursor C54 corresponds to the moving image.

  Further, for example, in the case of a game operation for instructing a position, the position to be instructed is changed by the game operation. In this case, the wider the area where the game operation is to be performed, the lower the difficulty level, and the smaller the area where the game operation is to be performed, the higher the difficulty level is. In other words, the wider the area where the game operation is to be performed, the easier the game operation is to succeed, and the smaller the area where the game operation is to be performed, the easier the game operation is to fail. In the present embodiment, the area in the guide image G6 corresponds to the position to be designated by the game operation. Further, for example, the difficulty level may be changed by changing the number of required game operations. For example, the difficulty level may be increased by increasing the game operation, and the difficulty level may be decreased by decreasing the game operation.

  Note that the relationship between the first parameter and the difficulty level may be determined in advance as a mathematical expression format, a table format, or a part of the program code. The first setting unit 102 executes the processing so that the difficulty level is associated with the first parameter. For example, the first setting unit 102 performs processing such that the higher the ability indicated by the first parameter, the lower the difficulty level, and the lower the ability indicated by the first parameter, the higher the difficulty level. May be. In other words, the first setting unit 102 executes processing such that the higher the ability indicated by the first parameter, the easier the success of the first game operation, and the lower the ability indicated by the first parameter, the first. The process may be executed so that the game operation is likely to fail. On the contrary, the first setting unit 102 executes the processing so that the higher the ability indicated by the first parameter is, the higher the difficulty is, and the lower the ability indicated by the first parameter is, the lower the difficulty is. You may perform a process. In other words, the first setting unit 102 executes processing such that the higher the ability indicated by the first parameter, the easier the failure of the first game operation, and the lower the ability indicated by the first parameter, the first. The process may be executed so that the game operation is likely to be successful.

  In the present embodiment, the first setting unit 102 sets the areas A30 to A33 of the guide image G3 based on the running force parameter of the fielder character C1. For example, the first setting unit 102 sets the area A30 to be wider as the running force parameter is higher, and sets the area A30 to be narrower as the running force parameter is lower. Further, for example, the first setting unit 102 sets the areas A50 to A53 of the guide image G5 based on the catching parameter of the fielder character C1. For example, the first setting unit 102 sets the area A52 to be wider as the catching parameter is higher, and to be narrower as the catching parameter is lower.

[3-4. First evaluation section]
The first evaluation unit 103 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. The first evaluation unit 103 evaluates the success or failure of the first game operation.

  The success or failure of the game operation is, for example, whether or not the instruction content by the game operation is a predetermined content. For example, in the case of a game operation for instructing a direction, it is whether or not the direction instructed by the game operation is a predetermined direction. Further, for example, if the game operation is performed at a predetermined timing, it is whether or not the timing at which the game operation is performed is included within the predetermined period. Further, for example, in the case of a game operation for instructing a position, it is whether or not the position instructed by the game operation is within a predetermined area.

  The evaluation means, for example, determining whether the game operation has succeeded or failed. For example, the evaluation is to judge whether the game operation is good or bad. For example, in the case of a game operation for instructing a direction, it is to determine whether or not a predetermined direction is instructed by the game operation. Further, for example, it is to determine whether or not the deviation (angle) between the direction instructed by the game operation and the predetermined direction is less than a threshold value. Further, for example, in the case of a game operation operated at a predetermined timing, it is to determine whether the timing at which the game operation is performed is included within a predetermined period. Further, for example, it is to determine whether or not the time difference between the timing at which the game operation is performed and the timing at which the game operation should be performed is less than a threshold value.

  Further, for example, in the case of a game operation for instructing a position, it is to determine whether or not the position in the predetermined area is instructed by the game operation. Further, for example, it is to determine whether or not the deviation (distance) between the position designated by the game operation and the predetermined position is less than a threshold value. For example, if the first game operation succeeds, the second game operation is accepted, and if the first game operation fails, the second game operation is not accepted. Further, for example, when the first game operation succeeds, the difficulty level of the second game operation may be higher than that when the first game operation fails. Further, for example, the higher the evaluation of the first game operation, the lower the difficulty of the second game operation may be.

  The first evaluation unit 103 may evaluate the first game operation based on a predetermined evaluation standard. In the present embodiment, when the moving operation corresponds to the first game operation, the first evaluation unit 103 evaluates the moving operation based on the direction instructed by the moving operation. For example, the first evaluation unit 103 evaluates the moving operation by determining whether the area A30 is designated by the moving operation. Further, for example, when the ball catching operation corresponds to the first game operation, the first evaluation unit 103 evaluates the ball catching operation based on the timing at which the ball catching operation is performed. For example, the first evaluation unit 103 evaluates the ball catching operation by determining whether or not the ball catching operation has been performed and the cursor C54 has stopped on the area A52. Further, for example, the first evaluation unit 103 evaluates the ball catching operation by determining whether or not the timing at which the ball catching operation is performed is within the period in which the cursor C54 passes over the area A52.

  In addition, for example, in a soccer game, if the first partial motion is movement, the first evaluation unit 103 evaluates the movement operation by determining whether or not the movement operation has a predetermined content. Further, for example, if the first partial operation is a trap, the first evaluation unit 103 evaluates the trap operation by determining whether or not the trap operation has a predetermined content. Further, for example, in the basketball game, if the first partial motion is movement, the first evaluation unit 103 evaluates the movement operation by determining whether or not the movement operation has a predetermined content. Further, for example, if the first partial motion is catch, the first evaluation unit 103 evaluates the catch operation by determining whether or not the catch operation has a predetermined content. Further, for example, in the battle game, if the first partial motion is a guard, the first evaluation unit 103 evaluates the guard operation by determining whether or not the guard operation has a predetermined content.

[3-5. First operation control unit]
The first operation control unit 104 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. The first motion control unit 104 determines the success or failure of the first partial motion based on the evaluation result of the first game operation.

  The success or failure of the partial operation is, for example, whether the partial operation succeeds or fails. For example, in the case of a defensive action in a baseball game, individual actions such as moving, catching, and sending a ball are successful or unsuccessful. For example, in the case of movement, it succeeds when the fielder character C1 catches up with the ball B, and fails when the fielder character C1 fails to catch up with the ball B. Further, for example, in the case of catching a ball, it succeeds when the fielder character C1 catches the ball B, and fails when the fielder character C1 cannot or cannot play the ball B. Further, for example, in the case of a ball throw, the fielder character C1 succeeds when the ball B is thrown to the base of the ball destination (the catching range of the receiver fielder character C4), and the ball thrown by the fielder character C1 is missed. It fails when the fielder character C4 cannot catch the ball.

  Further, for example, in the case of a shooting action in a soccer game, it is a success or failure of individual actions such as movement, trapping, and shooting. For example, the movement is successful when the character can move to the drop point of the ball, and fails when the character cannot move to the drop point of the ball. Further, for example, in the case of a trap, it succeeds when the character drops the ball at his / her feet, and fails when the character cannot or cannot play the ball. In addition, for example, in the case of a shoot, it succeeds when the character can kick the ball and fails when the character swings in the air.

  Further, for example, in the case of a shooting motion in a basketball game, whether each motion such as moving, catching or shooting succeeds or fails. For example, in the case of movement, it succeeds when the character catches up with the ball, and fails when the character fails to catch up with the ball. Further, for example, in the case of catch, it succeeds when the character grabs the ball, and fails when the character cannot touch the ball or plays the ball. In addition, for example, in the case of a shot, it succeeds when the character can fly the ball into the goal frame, and fails when the character cannot fly the ball into the goal frame.

  Further, for example, in the case of a counter attack operation of a battle game, each operation such as guard and counter succeeds or fails. For example, a guard succeeds if it can avoid or defend against an attack, and fails if it cannot avoid or defend against an attack. Further, for example, in the case of a counter, it succeeds when the character's attack hits the enemy, and fails when the character's attack hits the enemy.

  The relationship between the evaluation result of the first game operation and the success or failure of the first partial motion may be determined in advance as a mathematical expression format, a table format, or a part of the program code. For example, the first motion control unit 104 may determine the success or failure of the first partial motion based on the probability associated with the evaluation result of the first game operation. In this case, the higher the evaluation of the first game operation, the higher the probability of success of the first partial motion, and the lower the evaluation of the first game operation, the lower the probability of success of the first partial motion. Further, for example, the evaluation result of the first game operation and the success or failure of the first partial motion are directly associated with each other, and the first motion control unit 104 determines whether the success or failure associated with the evaluation result of the first game operation is the first result. It may be determined as the success or failure of the partial operation.

  In the present embodiment, when the movement corresponds to the first partial movement, the first movement control unit 104 determines the success or failure of the movement based on the success or failure of the movement operation. For example, the first motion control unit 104 acquires the probability of successful movement based on the success or failure of the moving operation, and determines the success or failure of the movement based on the probability. Further, for example, the first motion control unit 104 determines the success or failure of the ball catching operation based on the success or failure of the ball catching operation. For example, the first motion control unit 104 acquires the probability of successful ball catching based on the success or failure of the ball catching operation, and determines the success or failure of the ball catching based on the probability.

  In addition, for example, in the soccer game, if the first partial motion is movement, the first motion control unit 104 determines success or failure of the movement based on the evaluation result of the movement operation. Further, for example, if the first partial operation is a trap, the first operation control unit 104 determines the success or failure of the trap based on the evaluation result of the trap operation. Further, for example, in the basketball game, if the first partial motion is movement, the first motion control unit 104 determines success or failure of the movement based on the evaluation result of the movement operation. Further, for example, if the first partial motion is catch, the first motion control unit 104 determines success or failure of the catch based on the evaluation result of the catch operation. Further, for example, in the battle game, if the first partial motion is a guard, the first motion control unit 104 determines the success or failure of the guard based on the evaluation result of the guard operation.

[3-6. Second reception section]
The second reception unit 105 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. The second reception unit 105 receives the second game operation corresponding to the second partial motion based on the evaluation result of the first evaluation unit 103. The meaning of the second game operation is as described above. For example, the second reception unit 105 receives the second game operation based on the detection signal of the operation unit 14.

  For example, the second acceptance unit 105 may determine whether to accept the second game operation based on the evaluation result of the first evaluation unit 103. For example, the second acceptance unit 105 determines to accept the second game operation when the evaluation of the first evaluation unit 103 is equal to or higher than the predetermined evaluation, and the evaluation of the first evaluation unit 103 is less than the predetermined evaluation. In this case, it is determined that the second game operation will not be accepted.

  Further, for example, the second reception unit 105 may determine whether to accept the second game operation based on the success or failure of the first partial motion determined by the evaluation result of the first evaluation unit 103. For example, the second accepting unit 105 determines to accept the second game operation when the first partial motion succeeds, and determines not to accept the second game operation when the first partial motion fails. In other words, the second accepting unit 105 determines to accept the second game operation when the first partial motion is above the predetermined evaluation, and when the first partial motion is below the predetermined evaluation. Then, it is determined that the second game operation is not accepted.

  In the present embodiment, when the moving operation corresponds to the first game operation, the second receiving unit 105 determines whether to accept the ball catching operation or the ball sending operation based on the evaluation result of the moving operation. In addition, for example, when the ball catching operation corresponds to the first game operation, the second receiving unit 105 determines whether to accept the ball sending operation based on the evaluation result of the ball catching operation.

  In addition, for example, in a soccer game, when the moving operation corresponds to the first game operation, the second receiving unit 105 determines whether to accept the trap operation or the shoot operation based on the evaluation result of the moving operation. To do. Further, for example, when the trap operation corresponds to the first game operation, the second accepting unit 105 determines whether to accept the shoot operation based on the evaluation result of the trap operation. Further, for example, in the basketball game, when the moving operation corresponds to the first partial motion, the second accepting unit 105 determines whether to accept the catch operation or the shoot operation based on the evaluation result of the moving operation. Further, for example, when the catch operation corresponds to the first game operation, the second reception unit 105 determines whether to accept the shoot operation based on the evaluation result of the shoot operation. Further, for example, in the battle game, if the guard operation is the first game operation, the second reception unit 105 determines whether to accept the counter attack operation based on the evaluation result of the guard operation.

[3-7. Second setting section]
The second setting unit 106 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. The second setting unit 106 executes processing for setting the difficulty level of the second game operation based on the second parameter.

  The second parameter is, for example, a parameter for setting the difficulty level of the second game operation, and is a parameter associated with the second partial motion. In other words, the second parameter is, for example, a parameter indicating the capability regarding the second partial operation. For example, in a baseball game, if the second partial motion is catching a ball, the second parameter may be a catching parameter or a skill parameter related to catching a ball. Further, for example, if the second partial motion is a pitching ball, the second parameter may be a shoulder force parameter or a skill parameter relating to pitching.

  Further, for example, in the soccer game, if the second partial motion is a trap, the second parameter may be a technical ability parameter or a skill parameter related to the trap. Further, for example, if the second partial motion is a shoot, the second parameter may be a shooting force parameter or a skill parameter related to shooting. Further, for example, in the basketball game, if the second partial motion is catch, the second parameter may be a catch force parameter or a skill parameter related to catch. Further, for example, if the second partial motion is a shoot, the second parameter may be a shooting force parameter or a skill parameter related to shooting. Further, for example, in the battle game, if the second partial action is a counter attack, the second parameter may be an attack power parameter or a skill parameter related to the attack.

  The meaning of the process for setting the difficulty level of the game operation is as described in the first setting unit 102. The relationship between the second parameter and the difficulty level may be determined in advance as a mathematical expression format, a table format, or a part of the program code. The second setting unit 106 executes the processing so that the difficulty level is associated with the second parameter. For example, the second setting unit 106 performs processing such that the higher the ability indicated by the second parameter, the lower the difficulty level, and the lower the ability indicated by the second parameter, the higher the difficulty level. May be. In other words, the second setting unit 106 executes processing such that the higher the ability indicated by the second parameter, the easier the success of the second game operation, and the lower the ability indicated by the second parameter, the second. The process may be executed so that the game operation is likely to fail. On the contrary, the second setting unit 106 performs the processing such that the higher the ability indicated by the second parameter, the higher the difficulty level, and the lower the ability indicated by the second parameter, the lower the difficulty level. You may perform a process. In other words, the second setting unit 106 executes processing such that the second game operation is more likely to fail as the ability indicated by the second parameter is higher, and the second setting operation is performed as the ability indicated by the second parameter is lower. The process may be executed so that the game operation is likely to be successful.

  In the present embodiment, the second setting unit 106 sets the areas A50 to A53 of the guide image G5 based on the catching parameters of the fielder character C1. For example, the second setting unit 106 sets the area A52 to be wider as the catching parameter is higher, and sets the area A52 to be narrower as the catching parameter is lower. Further, for example, the second setting unit 106 sets the size of the guide image G6 based on the skill parameter of the fielder character C1. For example, the second setting unit 106 sets such that the guide image G6 becomes larger as the skill parameter becomes higher, and the guide image G6 becomes smaller as the skill parameter becomes lower.

  Note that the second setting unit 106 may execute processing for setting the difficulty level of the second game operation based on the evaluation result of the first game operation. In this case, the second setting unit 106 executes processing in which the higher the evaluation of the first game operation, the lower the difficulty of the second game operation, and the lower the evaluation of the first game operation, the higher the difficulty of the second game operation. May be executed. Alternatively, for example, the second setting unit 106 may forcefully fail the second game operation based on the evaluation result of the first game operation. For example, the second setting unit 106 sets to evaluate the second game operation when the evaluation of the first game operation is high, and sets the second game operation when the evaluation of the first game operation is low. Although it is accepted, the evaluation may not be performed and the failure may be forced.

[3-8. Second evaluation section]
The second evaluation unit 107 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. The second evaluation unit 107 evaluates the success or failure of the second game operation. The success or failure of the game operation and the meaning of the evaluation are as described in the first evaluation unit 103.

  The second evaluation unit 107 may evaluate the second game operation based on a predetermined evaluation standard. In the present embodiment, when the ball catching operation corresponds to the second game operation, the second evaluation unit 107 evaluates the ball catching operation based on the timing at which the ball catching operation is performed. For example, the second evaluation unit 107 evaluates the ball catching operation by determining whether or not the ball catching operation has been performed and the cursor C54 has stopped on the area A52. Further, for example, the second evaluation unit 107 evaluates the ball catching operation by determining whether or not the timing at which the ball catching operation is performed is within the period in which the cursor C54 passes over the area A52.

  Further, for example, when the ball-sending operation corresponds to the second game operation, the second evaluation unit 107 evaluates the ball-sending operation based on the position designated by the ball-sending operation. For example, the second evaluation unit 107 evaluates the ball-sending operation by determining whether the ball image G7 has been dragged and dropped on the guide image G6 by the ball-sending operation. For example, the second evaluation unit 107 may evaluate the ball-sending operation based on the degree of overlap (overlapping area) between the dragged and dropped ball image G7 and the guide image G6. The second evaluation unit 107 may increase the evaluation as the overlap between the ball image G7 and the guide image G6 increases, and decrease the evaluation as the overlap between the ball image G7 and the guide image G6 decreases. Further, for example, the second evaluation unit 107 may evaluate the ball sending operation based on the distance between the position of the dragged and dropped ball image G7 and the position of the guide image G6. The second evaluation unit 107 may increase the evaluation as the distance is shorter, and may decrease the evaluation as the distance is longer.

  In addition, for example, in a soccer game, if the second partial motion is a trap, the second evaluation unit 107 evaluates the trap operation by determining whether or not the trap operation has a predetermined content. Further, for example, if the second partial operation is a shoot, the second evaluation unit 107 evaluates the shoot operation by determining whether or not the shoot operation has a predetermined content. Further, for example, in the basketball game, if the second partial motion is catch, the second evaluation unit 107 evaluates the catch operation by determining whether or not the catch operation has a predetermined content. Further, for example, if the second partial operation is a shoot, the second evaluation unit 107 evaluates the shoot operation by determining whether or not the shoot operation has a predetermined content. Further, for example, in the battle game, if the second partial action is a counter attack, the second evaluation unit 107 evaluates the counter attack operation by determining whether or not the counter attack operation has a predetermined content.

[3-9. Second operation control unit]
The second operation control unit 108 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. The second motion control unit 108 determines the success or failure of the second partial motion based on the evaluation result of the second game operation. The meaning of success or failure of the partial operation is as described in the first operation control unit 104.

  The relationship between the evaluation result of the second game operation and the success or failure of the second partial motion may be determined in advance as a mathematical expression format, a table format, or a part of the program code. For example, the second motion control unit 108 may determine the success or failure of the second partial motion based on the probability associated with the evaluation result of the second game operation. In this case, the higher the evaluation of the second game operation, the higher the probability of success of the second partial motion, and the lower the evaluation of the second game operation, the lower the probability of success of the second partial motion. Further, for example, the evaluation result of the second game operation and the success or failure of the second partial motion are directly associated with each other, and the second motion control unit 108 determines whether the success or failure associated with the evaluation result of the second game operation is the second result. It may be determined as the success or failure of the partial operation.

  In the present embodiment, when the catching ball corresponds to the second partial motion, the second motion control unit 108 determines the success or failure of the catching ball based on the success or failure of the catching operation. For example, the second motion control unit 108 acquires the probability of successful ball catching based on the success or failure of the ball catching operation, and determines the success or failure of the ball catching based on the probability. Further, for example, when the ball throwing corresponds to the second partial motion, the second motion control unit 108 determines the ball sending success or failure based on the success or failure of the ball sending operation. For example, the second motion control unit 108 acquires the probability of successful ball throwing based on the success or failure of the ball sending operation, and determines the success or failure of the ball sending based on the probability.

  In addition, for example, in the soccer game, if the second partial motion is a trap, the second motion control unit 108 determines the success or failure of the trap based on the evaluation result of the trap operation.

[3-10. First reward determination section]
The first reward determination unit 109 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. The first reward determination unit 109 determines the first reward based on the evaluation result of the first evaluation unit 103. The reward is something that is valuable in the game, for example, in-game currency such as points and coins, game items, game objects, and the like.

  The relationship between the evaluation result of the first evaluation unit 103 and the first reward may be set in advance as a mathematical expression format, a table format, or a part of the program code. The first reward determination unit 109 determines the first reward associated with the first evaluation result as the reward to be given. For example, the higher the evaluation of the first game operation, the higher the first reward, and the lower the evaluation of the first game operation, the lower the first reward. The high reward means that the amount of in-game currency such as points and coins is high, and the value (rareness or parameter) of the game item or game object to be given is high. It should be noted that the first reward determination unit 109 may be configured not to give the first reward when the first game operation is not performed.

[3-11. Second reward determination unit]

For example, the higher the evaluation of the second game operation, the higher the second reward, and the lower the evaluation of the second game operation, the lower the second reward. It should be noted that the second reward determination unit 110 may be configured such that, when the second game operation is not performed, the evaluation itself of the second game operation is not performed and the second reward is not given.

[3-12. Simulation department]
The simulation unit 111 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. The simulation unit 111 executes a game simulation. For example, the simulation unit 111 executes a game simulation based on a simulation algorithm.

  The simulation is, for example, predicting a change in the situation of the game world. In other words, predicting the progress of the game and advancing the game without any operation. For example, in a battle-type game, a computer determines a progress or a result of the battle by executing a simple simulation process of comparing numerical values obtained based on each of a plurality of parameters. For example, in a game in which teams compete with each other, the simulation processing is executed based on the parameters of the first team and the parameters of the second team. For example, in a battle-type game, a computer executes a simulation process in which one or more first game objects and one or more second game objects are virtually and automatically operated in a virtual space based on parameters. To determine the progress or result of the battle.

  In the present embodiment, the first partial motion and the second partial motion are performed when the game enters a predetermined situation. The simulation unit 111 repeatedly executes the simulation until the game reaches a predetermined situation. The simulation unit 111 may execute the simulation until a situation randomly selected from a plurality of situations.

  The predetermined situation is, for example, that the situation in the game world belongs to a predetermined type. For example, the numerical value of the situation data indicating the situation of the game world becomes a predetermined numerical value. For example, in a game in which the score changes, the score is a predetermined value. For example, the game object may have a predetermined position, a predetermined direction, and a predetermined speed. For example, the time in the world of the game becomes a predetermined time. For example, in the case of a defensive action in a baseball game, it means that a runner appears on a predetermined base during the defense (a predetermined base condition is reached). Further, for example, the strike count, the ball count, and the out count become predetermined values. In addition, for example, it is a predetermined inning. Further, for example, a situation in which the next batter hits the ball within the field of the fielder character. Further, for example, in the case of a shooting action in a soccer game, it means that the player passes in front of the goal during the match. Further, for example, there is a situation where the ball is passed within the movement range of the player character. Further, for example, in the case of a shooting motion in a basketball game, it means that the player is passed near the goal during the game. Further, for example, there is a situation where the ball is passed within the movement range of the player character. Further, for example, in the case of a counter attack operation in a battle game, it means that an opponent is attacked. In addition, for example, the player character is attacked by the opponent at a timing when the player character can guard.

[4. Processing executed in game system]
FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing an example of processing executed in the game system S. The process shown in FIG. 18 is executed by the control unit 11 operating according to the program stored in the storage unit 12. The process illustrated in FIG. 18 is an example of the process executed by the functional block.

  As shown in FIG. 18, when the match starts, the control unit 11 first executes a match simulation based on the character data DT1 and the game situation data DT2 (S1). In S1, the control unit 11 executes a simple simulation such as the motion of the character or the movement of the ball based on the simulation algorithm, the parameters of each character, the position of each character, the random number, and the like.

  The control unit 11 determines, based on the simulation result, whether or not the ally team has a predetermined situation in which a defense opportunity occurs (S3). In S3, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the hit ball flies into the field of the fielder character of the team. When it is determined that the predetermined situation is achieved (S3; Y), the control unit 11 displays the simulation result until the predetermined situation is displayed on the game image G1 (S5). The game image G1 in S5 is in a state like the game images G1A to G1C in FIG. 2, and a state in which the game progresses without requiring the user's operation is displayed.

  After displaying the simulation result until a predetermined situation is reached, the control unit 11 displays a message M10 indicating that the defense opportunity of the team has arrived (S7). In S7, the state of the game image G1D in FIG. 2 is entered, and the progress of the game is stopped. The control unit 11 switches the display, displays the state of the game space in the game image G1 (S9), and executes the movement processing of the fielder character C1 (S11). In S9, the game image G1E in FIG. 3 is set.

  FIG. 19 is a diagram showing details of the moving process. As shown in FIG. 19, the control unit 11 determines the time limit for the moving operation (S111). In S111, the control unit 11 determines the time limit by determining the reproduction speed during movement based on the defense force parameter of the fielder character C1. The control unit 11 sets the reproduction speed slower and sets the time limit longer as the defense force parameter is higher, and sets the reproduction speed faster and the time limit shorter as the defense force parameter is lower. Further, for example, the control unit 11 may determine the reproduction speed during movement based on the skill parameter of the fielder character C1. When the fielder character C1 possesses a predetermined defensive skill, the control unit 11 slows the reproduction speed and sets the time limit longer.

  After that, the pitcher character pitches and the batter character hits. The pitching of the pitcher character, the hitting of the batter character, and the whereabouts of the hitting ball are already simulated in S1. When the batter character hits, the control unit 11 performs slow playback of the video based on the playback speed determined in S111 (S113), and displays the mark image G2 around the ball B (S115). The mark image G2 moves with the ball B.

  The control unit 11 displays the guide image G3 at the feet based on the running force parameter of the fielder character C1 (S117). In S117, the control unit 11 determines the proportion of each of the areas A30 to A33 based on the running force parameter. Then, the control unit 11 determines the positions of the areas A30 to A33 based on the position of the fielder character C1 and the trajectory of the ball B.

  The control unit 11 determines whether or not the time limit for the moving operation has elapsed (S119). The control unit 11 measures the time from the start of the acceptance of the moving operation (the start of the display of the guide image G3), and in S119, determines whether the elapsed time from the start of the time measurement has exceeded the time limit set in S111.

  When it is determined that the time limit has not elapsed (S119; N), the control unit 11 determines whether or not the moving operation has been performed based on the detection signal of the operation unit 14 (S121). In S121, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the flick is performed from the touch panel of the operation unit 14.

  When it is determined that the moving operation has been performed (S121; Y), the control unit 11 evaluates the moving operation (S123). In S123, the control unit 11 converts the direction on the touch panel indicated by the moving operation into the game space, and converts the fielder character C from the standing position (center point O of the guide image G3) in the areas A30 to A33. The area ahead of the specified direction is specified. The control unit 11 determines the evaluation based on the specified area.

  The control unit 11 determines the acquisition points of the moving operation (S125). In S125, the control unit 11 increases the number of acquisition points as the evaluation of the moving operation is higher, and lowers the acquisition points as the evaluation of the moving operation is lower. When it is determined that the time limit has elapsed without performing the moving operation (S119; Y), the processing of S123 and S125 is executed. In this case, the processing of S123 and S125 may not be executed, the evaluation of the moving operation itself may not be performed, and the points of the moving operation may not be given.

  The control unit 11 determines whether or not the movement of the fielder character C1 is successful (S127). In S127, when the moving operation is performed, the control unit 11 acquires the probability of successful movement based on the evaluation result in S125 and the running parameter of the fielder character C1, and based on the probability. Determine whether the move was successful. On the other hand, when the movement operation is not performed, the control unit 11 determines whether the movement has succeeded, based on the running force parameter of the fielder character C1. When the running parameter of the fielder character C1 is very high, the movement may be successful even if the movement operation is not performed.

  Returning to FIG. 18, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the movement of the character has succeeded, based on the movement processing executed in S11 (S13). When it is not determined that the character has been moved successfully (S13; N), the processes of S15 to S19 are not executed, and the process proceeds to S21. In this case, the fielder character C1 automatically operates and the defense opportunity ends without performing the ball catching operation and the ball sending operation. Since neither the ball catching operation nor the ball sending operation is performed, the point of the ball catching operation and the point of the ball sending operation cannot be acquired. Even if an error occurs during the movement, the movement may not fail.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the movement of the character has succeeded (S13; Y), the control unit 11 executes the ball catching process of the character (S15).

  FIG. 20 is a diagram showing details of the ball catching process. As shown in FIG. 20, the control unit 11 determines the time limit for the ball catching operation (S151). In S151, the control unit 11 determines the time limit for the ball catching operation by determining the predetermined speed stored in the storage unit 12 as the reproduction speed at the time of catching the ball. The control unit 11 performs slow playback of the video based on the playback speed determined in S151 (S153).

  The control unit 11 displays the guide image G5 based on the catching parameter of the fielder character C1 (S155). In S155, the control unit 11 determines the proportion of each of the areas A50 to A53 based on the catching parameter. Then, the control unit 11 starts moving the cursor C54 and accepts a ball catching operation. The mark image G2 may be deleted at the timing of S155.

  The control unit 11 determines whether or not the time limit for the ball catching operation has elapsed (S157). The control unit 11 measures the time from the start of receiving the catching operation, and in S157, determines whether or not the elapsed time from the start of the time counting has exceeded the time limit set in S151. When it is determined that the time limit has not elapsed (S157; N), the control unit 11 determines whether the ball catching operation has been performed based on the detection signal of the operation unit 14 (S159). In S159, the control unit 11 determines whether or not a tap is made on the touch panel of the operation unit 14.

  When it is determined that the ball catching operation has been performed (S159; Y), the control unit 11 stops the cursor C54 and evaluates the ball catching operation (S161). In S161, the control unit 11 evaluates the ball catching operation based on the stop position of the cursor C54.

  The control part 11 determines the acquisition point of a ball catching operation (S163). In S163, the control unit 11 increases the number of acquisition points as the evaluation of the ball catching operation is higher, and lowers the acquisition point as the evaluation of the ball catching operation is lower. In addition, when it is determined that the time limit has elapsed without performing the ball catching operation (S157; Y), the processes of S161 and S163 are executed. In this case, the processing of S161 and S163 may not be executed, the evaluation itself of the ball catching operation may not be performed, and the point of the ball catching operation may not be given.

  The control unit 11 determines the success or failure of catching a ball (S165). In S165, when the catching operation is performed, the control unit 11 acquires the probability of successful catching, based on the evaluation result in S161 and the catching parameter of the fielder character C1, and the probability. Based on, it is determined whether the catch is successful. On the other hand, when the catching operation is not performed, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the catching is successful, based on the catching parameter of the fielder character C1. When the catching parameter of the fielder character C1 is very high, the catching may be successful even if the catching operation is not performed.

  Returning to FIG. 18, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the character has successfully caught the ball, based on the ball catching process executed in S15 (S17). When it is not determined that the character has successfully caught the ball (S17; N), the process of S19 is not executed and the process proceeds to S21. In this case, the fielder character C1 automatically operates and the defense opportunity ends without performing a ball sending operation. Since the ball throwing operation is not performed, the points for the ball throwing operation cannot be obtained. Even if an error occurs in catching the ball, the catching may not fail.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the movement of the character has succeeded (S17; Y), the control unit 11 executes the ball throwing process of the character (S19).

  FIG. 21 is a diagram showing details of the ball sending process. As shown in FIG. 21, the control unit 11 moves the virtual camera (S191). In S191, as shown in FIG. 10, the control unit 11 moves the virtual camera so that the line-of-sight direction of the virtual camera faces the base of the ball destination.

  The control unit 11 determines the time limit for the ball sending operation based on the shoulder force parameter of the fielder character C1 (S193). In S193, the control unit 11 determines the time limit based on the shoulder force parameter of the fielder character C1. The control unit 11 determines that the higher the shoulder force parameter, the longer the time limit, and the lower the shoulder force parameter, the shorter the time limit. Note that, as described above, the reproduction speed may be a fixed value. The control unit 11 slow-plays the video based on the playback speed (S195).

  The control unit 11 displays the guide image G6 based on the skill parameter of the fielder character C1 (S197). In S197, the control unit 11 determines the size of the guide image G6 based on the skill parameter. For example, the control unit 11 makes the guide image G6 larger when the fielder character C1 possesses the pitching skill than when the fielder character C1 does not possess the pitching skill. Note that, as described above, the control unit 11 may determine the stillness of the guide image G6 based on the distance between the fielder character C1 or the ball B and the base of the ball sending destination.

  The control unit 11 determines whether the time limit for the ball-sending operation has elapsed (S199). The control unit 11 measures the time from the start of the acceptance of the ball-sending operation, and in S199, determines whether the elapsed time from the start of the time measurement has exceeded the time limit set in S141.

  When it is determined that the time limit has not elapsed (S199; N), the control unit 11 determines, based on the detection signal of the operation unit 14, whether or not a ball sending operation has been performed (S201). In S201, the control unit 11 determines whether the ball image G7 has been dragged and dropped from the operation unit 14.

  When it is determined that the ball-sending operation has been performed (S201; Y), the control unit 11 evaluates the ball-sending operation (S203). In S203, the control unit 11 evaluates the ball sending operation based on the degree of overlap between the dragged and dropped ball image G7 and the guide image G6.

  The control unit 11 determines the point of the ball-sending operation (S205). In S205, the control unit 11 increases the number of acquisition points as the evaluation of the ball-sending operation is higher, and lowers the acquisition points as the evaluation of the ball-sending operation is lower. If it is determined that the time limit has elapsed without performing the ball sending operation (S199; Y), the processes of S203 and S205 are executed. In this case, the processing of S203 and S205 may not be executed, the evaluation of the ball-sending operation itself may not be performed, and the points of the ball-sending operation may not be given.

  The control unit 11 determines the success or failure of the pitching based on the evaluation result of the pitching operation (S207). In S207, when the ball-sending operation is performed, the control unit 11 acquires the probability of successful ball-sending based on the evaluation result in S203 and the shoulder force parameter of the fielder character C1, and based on the probability. Determine whether the throw was successful. On the other hand, when the ball sending operation is not performed, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the ball sending is successful based on the shoulder force parameter of the fielder character C1. When the shoulder force parameter of the fielder character C1 is very high, the catching may be successful even if the throwing operation is not performed.

  Returning to FIG. 18, the control unit 11 determines the points acquired in a series of defensive actions (S21), returns to the process of S1, and the simulation of the remaining games is executed. In this case, the game image G1 returns to the state of FIG. 2 after the animation after the ball has been sent is played back and the acquired points determined in S21 are displayed. The acquired points may be displayed each time an individual partial action such as moving, catching, or throwing a ball is performed.

  When it is determined in S3 that the defense opportunity does not occur even after the match ends (S3; N), the control unit 11 determines whether or not the defense opportunity has been visited a predetermined number of times in the match (S23). The predetermined number of times may be a predetermined number of times, and may be, for example, about 2 or 3 times or more.

  When it is not determined that the defense opportunity has been visited a predetermined number of times (S23; N), the process returns to S1 and the simulation is repeated from a predetermined point in the past. The predetermined time in the past is the time when the game starts if the defense opportunity has not been visited once, and the time when the latest defense opportunity is ended if the defense opportunity has been visited. On the other hand, if it is determined that the defense opportunity has been visited a predetermined number of times (S23; Y), this processing ends.

  According to the game system S described above, based on the evaluation result of the first game operation corresponding to the first partial motion such as movement or ball catching, the second game corresponding to the second partial motion such as ball catching or ball throwing. By accepting the operation, a series of actions can be evaluated in detail and the enjoyment of the game can be improved.

  In addition, since it is determined whether or not to accept the second game operation based on the evaluation result of the first game operation, the second game operation cannot be accepted depending on the evaluation result of the first game operation. It can give a feeling.

  In addition, since the first reward is determined based on the evaluation result of the first game operation and the second reward is determined based on the evaluation result of the second game operation, the reward is generated for each game operation. It is possible to effectively improve the interest of.

  Further, the success or failure of the first partial motion is determined based on the evaluation result of the first game operation, and the success or failure of the second partial motion is determined based on the evaluation result of the second game operation, thereby evaluating each game operation. Since the result influences the success or failure of each partial motion, the interest of the game can be effectively improved.

  Further, the process for setting the difficulty level of the first game operation is executed based on the first parameter, and the process for setting the difficulty level of the second game operation is executed based on the second parameter. Since the parameters that affect the difficulty of each game operation are different, the fun of the game can be effectively improved.

  Further, since the simulation is repeatedly performed until a predetermined situation in which each of the first partial operation and the second partial operation is performed, it is possible to prevent the game from ending without the predetermined situation occurring.

[5. Modification]
The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. Modifications can be made as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  For example, in the game executed by the game system S, a first game part that trains a second game object based on the first game object, and a second game object trained in the first game part performs a first partial motion. A second game part that performs the second partial operation may be included.

  The first game object is a game object for supporting the raising of the second game object. For example, the first game object is a game object for generating an event in the first game part. For example, the effect generated when the first game object is used in the first game part may be different depending on the first game object. Further, for example, the first game object may be an object that is a material when nurturing (so-called combining) the second game object, or an object that cooperates with the second game object. The second game object is a game object to be raised in the first game part.

  Nurturing is, for example, increasing the ability of the second game object. The training may be, for example, increasing the numerical value of the ability parameter, acquiring a special skill, or acquiring an experience value. For example, the second game object may be trained by generating an event in a predetermined game story, or may be trained by training or training the second game object. Further, for example, the second game object may be trained by executing a process called so-called composition.

  The game part is, for example, a part of the game. The first game part is a game part that is played first when playing the second game part. For example, the first game part may be a story in which the second game object is the main character. In this story, the first game object may appear as a companion to the second game object. An event related to the first game object may occur in the first game part. In addition, when a plurality of first game objects are held, a combination (deck) of the first game objects used in the first game part may be designated. Further, for example, the first game part may be a game part in which a so-called combining process is executed.

  The second game part is, for example, a game part that is played after the game object is trained in the first game part. For example, the second game part may be an event for a limited time period, or the period may not be specified. For example, the fact that the second game part will be held may be announced in advance, and the first game object, which is good at defense, may be trained in the first game part by the start of the second game part. ..

  For example, the first receiving unit 101 may receive the first game operation in the second game part. Further, for example, the first evaluation unit 103 may evaluate the first game operation in the second game part. Further, for example, the second receiving unit 105 may receive the second game operation in the second game part. Further, for example, the second evaluation unit 107 may evaluate the second game operation in the second game part. The process described in the embodiment is a process executed in the second game part.

  According to the above modification, the first game part that trains the second game object based on the first game object and the second game that the second game object trained in the first game part performs each of the plurality of partial motions. By making the game including the part, the contents of the game can be diversified, and the interest of the game can be effectively improved. Further, when the game operation as described in the embodiment is not good, it is possible to increase the points to be acquired by training a character having high defensive ability in the first game part. Further, by improving in advance the parameter corresponding to the partial motion which is not good among the plurality of partial motions in the second game part, the second game part can be highly evaluated. Further, since the strengths and weaknesses of the game operation are different depending on the procedure for raising the first game part, the existence of the second game part creates diversity of the first game part. Also, the first game part can be played while considering how to grow the second game object in the first game part in order to obtain more points in the second game part. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the training in the first game part from becoming monotonous due to the presence of the second game part, and it is possible to effectively improve the fun of the game.

  Further, for example, each function realized in the game terminal 10 may be realized in the server 30. For example, the main processing of the game may be executed in the server 30. In this case, the server 30 corresponds to the game control device according to the present invention. For example, when the data storage unit 100 is realized by the server 30, the data storage unit 100 is realized mainly by the storage unit 32. Further, for example, the first reception unit 101, the first setting unit 102, the first evaluation unit 103, the first motion control unit 104, the second reception unit 105, the second setting unit 106, the second evaluation unit 107, the second motion control. When the unit 108, the first reward determination unit 109, the second reward determination unit 110, and the simulation unit 111 are realized by the server 30, these are realized mainly by the control unit 31.

  In this case, the game terminal 10 receives the image data from the server 30 and displays each image on the display unit 15. Further, the game terminal 10 transmits data indicating the instruction accepted by the operation unit 14 to the server 30. The server 30 may specify the instruction and execute the game by receiving the data. Further, for example, each function may be shared between the game terminal 10 and the server 30. In this case, the processing result of each functional block may be transmitted and received between the game terminal 10 and the server 30. Further, for example, among the functions described in the embodiment and the above-described modified example, the functions other than the first reception unit 101, the first evaluation unit 103, the second reception unit 105, and the second evaluation unit 107 may be omitted. ..

  Further, for example, the case where the baseball game is executed has been described, but the process according to the present invention may be applied to other games. For example, the process according to the present invention may be applied to a sports game other than a baseball game (for example, a game using soccer, tennis, American football, basketball, volleyball, etc.). Further, for example, in addition to the sports game, the process according to the present invention may be applied to various games such as action games, role-playing games, fighting games, etc. regardless of the game format and genre.
