The route image 704 may have any shape, and may be, for example, a two-dimensional closed region image having a predetermined width along the circumference and perpendicular to the circumference (for example, a width substantially the same as the cursor image 705). Further, the route image 704 may be a two-dimensional closed region image having a predetermined width along the curve and perpendicular to the curve. The route image 704 may be a line segment (straight line, curved line, polygonal line, etc.).

The cursor image 705 is an object image that automatically moves according to a predetermined operation pattern in the route image 704. In the example shown in FIG. 7A, the game processing device 2 controls the display of the cursor figure so that the cursor figure automatically moves up and down in the substantially linear route image 704.

FIG. 7B is a schematic diagram for explaining an example of the operation pattern of the cursor image 705, and shows an operation pattern in which the cursor image 705 moves up and down in the route image 704 with the passage of time.

The game processing device 2 stores the input parameter value corresponding to the display position of the cursor image 705 in the route image 704. In the example shown in FIG. 7A, the input parameter value of "100 m" is associated with the uppermost position in the route image 704, and the lowermost position in the route image 704 is "20 m". Input parameter values are associated. In the game progress screen 700 shown in FIG. 7A, character strings indicating "100 m" and "20 m" are displayed, but these character strings may not be displayed.

The input parameter value corresponding to an arbitrary position in the route image 704 increases monotonically from the lowest position to the upper position, for example. When the length on the screen from the bottom position to the top position of the route image 704 is L, the input parameter corresponding to the position separated by the length x on the screen from the bottom position in the route image 704. The value is obtained by, for example, the arithmetic expression "(80x / L) +20".

FIG. 8A is a perspective view showing an example of the operation assisting equipment 4. The operation assisting device 4 houses the operating devices 3a and 3b and assists the player in operating the operating devices 3a and 3b.

The operation assisting equipment 4 shown in FIG. 8A is used when the game provided by the game device 1 is a fishing game. The operation assisting device 4 has a rod member 41 and a reel member 42. The grip portion 41a of the rod member 41 stores the operation device 3a, and the storage portion 42a of the reel member 42 stores the operation device 3b.

FIG. 8B is a perspective view showing an example of the reel member 42. The reel member 42 has a storage portion 42a, a main body portion 42b, and a handle portion 42c. The main body portion 42b rotatably holds the storage portion 42a in which the operating device 3b is housed. The handle portion 42c rotates integrally with the end surface 42c-1 which is adhered to the end portion 42a-1 of the storage portion 42a held by the main body portion 42b.

As shown in FIG. 8B, when the player moves the handle portion 42c so that the movement locus of the handle portion 42c is a circumference, the storage portion 42a and the handle portion 42c use the shaft 42d as a rotation axis. Rotate. The shaft 42d is substantially the same as the X-axis of the operating device 3b housed in the storage unit 42a.

FIG. 9 is a schematic view for explaining an example of an operation method of the operation assisting equipment 4.

When the game progress screen 700 shown in FIG. 7A is displayed, the player grips the grip portion 41a accommodating the operation device 3a, swings up the operation assisting device 4, and then swings it forward. .. The game processing device 2, which sequentially acquires the operation information output from the operation device 3a stored in the grip portion 41a at predetermined time intervals, allows the player to operate the operation assisting device 4 (operation) based on the acceleration information included in the operation information. The timing at which the device 3a) is swung forward is detected.

The game processing device 2 determines the position of the cursor image 705 at the detected timing, and specifies the input parameter value corresponding to the position of the determined cursor image 705. For example, when the position of the cursor image 705 is separated upward by the length X from the lowest position in the route image 704, the value obtained by the calculation formula "(80X / L) +20" is calculated as the input parameter value. Will be done.

The game processing device 2 calculates the difference value between the specified input parameter value and the game set value as a parameter value. For example, when the input parameter value is "20 m" and the game setting value is "48 m", the parameter value is "28 m". When the input parameter value is "35 m" and the game setting value is "18 m", the parameter value is "17 m".

FIG. 10A is a diagram showing an example of the game progress screen 1000 displayed on the display unit 23 of the game processing device 2. The game progress screen 1000 includes a game image 1001, an extraction end image 1002, a route image 704, and a cursor image 705.

The game image 1001 is an image showing a virtual game space similar to the game image 701 shown in FIG. 7A.

The extraction end image 1002 is displayed when at least one game medium based on the calculated parameter value is extracted from the plurality of game media stored in the game processing device 2. The details of the process of extracting at least one game medium (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as “extraction process”) will be described later.

FIG. 10B is a diagram showing an example of the game progress screen 1010 displayed on the display unit 23 of the game processing device 2 after the game progress screen 1000 is displayed. The game progress screen 1010 includes a game image 1011, a game medium image 1012, a fishing thread image 1013, a distance 1014, a tension gauge 1015, and a tension instruction image 1016.

The game image 1011 is an image showing a virtual game space similar to the game image 701 shown in FIG. 7A.

The game medium image 1012 is an image showing the game medium extracted by the extraction process in the virtual game space. The game medium image 1012 has a predetermined shape (for example, a fish shape, etc.), but may have a circular shape, an elliptical shape, a polygonal shape, or the like.

The fishing thread image 1013 is an image showing a fishing thread object connecting the game medium image 1012 showing the game medium extracted by the extraction process and a predetermined position of the display of the display unit 23 (for example, a position substantially in the center of the upper side of the display). ..

The distance 1014 is a text and / or an image indicating the distance from the position where the game medium extracted by the extraction process exists to the position of the player (for example, the position where the virtual camera is arranged). The distance 1014 may be a text and / or an image indicating the distance from the position of the sea surface in the vertical direction above the position where the game medium extracted by the extraction process exists to the position of the player. In the example shown in FIG. 10B, "32 m" is displayed as the distance 1014.

The tension gauge 1015 is an image showing a route on which the tension instruction image 1016 can move. The tension instruction image 1016 is displayed at a position within the tension gauge 1015 based on the tension parameter indicating the tension of the fishing thread object indicated by the fishing thread image 1013.

In the example shown in FIG. 10B, the higher the value of the tension parameter, the more the tension instruction image 1016 is displayed at a position to the right from the center of the tension gauge 1015. Further, the lower the value of the tension parameter, the more the tension instruction image 1016 is displayed at a position in the tension gauge 1015 in the left direction from the center.

The tension parameter is calculated based on the operation information from the operation devices 3a and 3b according to the pumping operation using the operation assisting equipment 4 by the player. 11A and 11B are schematic views for explaining an example of a pumping operation method of the operation auxiliary equipment 4.

As shown in FIG. 11A, the player grips the grip portion 41a accommodating the operation device 3a and swings up the operation assisting device 4. The game processing device 2, which sequentially acquires the operation information output from the operation device 3a stored in the grip portion 41a at predetermined time intervals, allows the player to operate the operation assisting device 4 (operation) based on the acceleration information included in the operation information. The timing at which the device 3a) is swung up is detected.

At the detected timing, the game processing device 2 increases the tension parameter by a predetermined increase value, and decreases the distance indicated by the distance 1014 by a predetermined distance (for example, 3 m). The greater the number of times the player swings up the operation assisting device 4 (operation device 3a), the larger the tension parameter, and the shorter the distance from the position where the game medium extracted by the extraction process exists to the position of the player.

The game processing device 2 may increase the tension parameter as the acceleration based on the acceleration information acquired at the timing when the operation assisting device 4 (operation device 3a) is swung up increases. Further, the game processing device 2 may increase the amount of decrease in the distance shown in the distance 1014 as the acceleration based on the acceleration information acquired at the timing when the operation assisting device 4 (operation device 3a) is swung up is larger.

When the duration in which the tension parameter exceeds the predetermined upper limit exceeds the end determination period (for example, 2 seconds), the game processing device 2 determines that the fishing thread object has been cut and the game medium has escaped, and the game May be terminated. Further, when the continuation period in which the tension parameter is below the predetermined lower limit value exceeds the end determination period (for example, 2 seconds), the game processing device 2 determines that the game medium has escaped and ends the game. You may.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11B, the player moves the handle portion 42c so that the movement locus of the handle portion 42c is a circumference. The game processing device 2 that sequentially acquires the operation information output from the operation device 3b stored in the storage unit 42a at predetermined time intervals is centered on the X-axis based on the X-axis angular velocity information included in the operation information. Extract the angular velocity.

The game processing device 2 reduces the tension parameter while extracting the angular velocity about the X-axis. For example, the game processing device 2 reduces the tension parameter by a predetermined amount per 0.1 second while extracting the angular velocity around the X axis. The longer the period during which the angular velocity centered on the X-axis is extracted, the greater the amount of decrease in the tension parameter. The game processing device 2 may increase the amount of decrease in the distance shown in the distance 1014 as the acceleration based on the acceleration information acquired at the timing when the operation assisting device 4 (operation device 3a) is swung up is larger.

In this way, the player is extracted by the extraction process by repeating the pumping operation (the operation of swinging up the operation assisting equipment 4 and moving the handle portion 42c so that the movement locus of the handle portion 42c becomes a circumference). The distance from the position where the game medium exists to the position of the player can be shortened.

Each time a predetermined automatic operation time (for example, 5 seconds) elapses, the game processing device 2 sets the distance from the position where the game medium extracted by the extraction process exists to the position of the player by a predetermined distance (for example, 5 seconds). It may be increased automatically by 1 m). The process of automatically increasing the distance is performed after the operation of swinging up the operation assisting equipment 4 and the operation of moving the handle portion 42c so that the movement locus of the handle portion 42c becomes a circumference are no longer detected. It may be executed every time a predetermined automatic operation time elapses. Further, it may be controlled so that the smaller the tension parameter when executing the process of automatically increasing the distance, the larger the increasing distance.

FIG. 12A is an example of the game progress screen 1200 displayed on the display unit 23 of the game processing device 2 when the game progresses from the time when the game progress screen 1010 shown in FIG. 10B is displayed. It is a figure which shows. The game progress screen 1200 includes a game image 1201, a game medium image 1202, a fishing thread image 1203, a distance 1204, a tension gauge 1205, and a tension instruction image 1206.

The game image 1201, the game medium image 1202, the fishing thread image 1203, the distance 1204, the tension gauge 1205, and the tension instruction image 1206 are the game image 1011 shown in FIG. 10B, the game medium image 1012, and the fishing thread image 1013, respectively. It is the same as the distance 1014, the tension gauge 1015, and the tension indication image 1016.

Since the game has progressed from the time when the game progress screen 1010 shown in FIG. 10B is displayed, "13m" is displayed as the distance 1204 in the example shown in FIG. 12A.

FIG. 12B is a diagram showing an example of the game success screen 1210 displayed on the display unit 23 of the game processing device 2. The game success screen 1210 includes a game image 1211, a game medium image 1212, a fishing thread image 1213, a distance 1214, a tension gauge 1215, and a tension instruction image 1216.

The game processing device 2 determines that the game is successful when the distance from the position where the game medium extracted by the extraction process exists to the position of the player is equal to or less than a predetermined end distance (for example, 10 m). The game success screen 1210 is displayed on the display unit 23.

The game image 1211, the fishing thread image 1213, the tension gauge 1215, and the tension instruction image 1216 are the same as the game image 1011, the fishing thread image 1013, the tension gauge 1015, and the tension instruction image 1016 shown in FIG. 10 (b).

The game medium image 1212 is an image showing the game medium extracted by the extraction process. Each of the plurality of game media has an image different from that of the other game media. A predetermined end distance is displayed at the distance 1214.

The number of game media extracted by the extraction process may be plural. In this case, the game medium image 1212 is an image showing each of the plurality of game media extracted by the extraction process.

When the game processing device 2 determines that the game is successful, the game processing device 2 stores the game medium extracted by the extraction process in association with the player. The game medium associated with the player may be stored as the game medium acquired (owned) by the player. When a release button or the like (not shown) is displayed, the player selects the release button, so that the game processing device 2 does not own the game medium acquired (owned) by the player. Store as a medium. In this case, the game medium is stored in association with the player, but is stored as a game medium not owned by the player.

FIG. 13A is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the game medium table T1. In the game medium table T1, for each game medium, parameters such as the game medium ID, name, rarity, and image of the game medium are stored in association with each other.

The game medium ID is an example of identification information for uniquely identifying each game medium. The file name of the image indicating the game medium is stored in the image.

In the rarity level, for example, information indicating the rarity level such as normal, rare, S (super) rare, SS (double super) rare, SSS (triple super) rare, and legend is stored.

FIG. 13B is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the distance range table T2. In the distance range table T2, parameters such as the distance range ID, the minimum distance, the maximum distance, and the probability of the distance range are stored in association with each other for each distance range.

The distance range ID is an example of identification information for uniquely identifying each distance range.

A value indicating the minimum distance in each distance range is stored in the minimum distance. A value indicating the maximum distance in each distance range is stored in the maximum distance. In the example shown in FIG. 13B, the value indicated by the maximum distance is not included in the corresponding distance range. That is, the minimum and maximum distances in the distance range table T2 define that each distance range is greater than or equal to the value indicated by the minimum distance and less than or equal to the value indicated by the maximum distance.

In the example shown in FIG. 13B, the four distance ranges obtained by dividing the distance range of "R5" from 0 to less than 100 are the distance range of "R1", the distance range of "R2", and the distance range of "R3". , And the distance range of "R4".

A value indicating the probability that each distance range is used is stored in the probability. In the example shown in FIG. 13B, when the parameter value is included in the distance range of 0 or more and less than 10, the distance range of the distance range ID “R1” is used for the extraction process with a probability of 80%, and 20%. With probability, the distance range of the distance range ID "R5" is used for the extraction process. In this way, even when the parameter value is included in the distance range of 0 or more and less than 10, if the condition that "R5" is selected based on the probabilities of "R1" and "R5" is satisfied, Instead of the "R1" distance range, at least one game medium is extracted from a group of plurality of game media associated with the "R5" distance range. Similarly, when the parameter value is included in the distance range of 10 or more and less than 20, the distance range of the distance range ID “R2” is used for the extraction process with a probability of 80%, and the distance range ID “R5” has a probability of 20%. The distance range of "" is used for the extraction process.

The distance range ID "R5" does not have to be included in the distance range table T2. In this case, in the example shown in FIG. 13B, the probabilities of the distance range IDs "R1" to "R4" are set to 100%.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the extraction target table T3. In the extraction target table T3, the distance range ID, the game medium ID, and the probability are stored in association with each other.

In the extraction target table T3 shown in FIG. 14, a plurality of game media IDs are stored in association with each distance range ID. One game medium ID may be associated with the distance range ID and stored, or the game medium ID may not be associated with the distance range ID and stored.

The game medium ID of the game medium having a higher rarity than the predetermined rarity is associated with, for example, the distance range of "R1" and the distance range of "R2", and is associated with the distance range of "R3" and the distance range of "R4". It may be set so that it is not possible. For example, a game medium ID of a game medium having a rarity of "S" or higher (higher than a rarity of "rare") is associated with a distance range of "R1" and a distance range of "R2". The distance range of "R1" and the distance range of "R2" are distance ranges including values less than 20. The value "20" is an example of a predetermined value.

The plurality of game media associated with the "R5" distance range are associated with each of the "R1" distance range, the "R2" distance range, the "R3" distance range, and the "R4" distance range. It is the same game medium as at least two or more game media among the plurality of game media. In the extraction target table T3 shown in FIG. 14, all the game media associated with the distance range of “R1”, the distance range of “R2”, the distance range of “R3”, and the distance range of “R4” are the same. Game medium is associated with a distance range of "R5".

The probability is a value indicating the probability that the corresponding game medium ID is extracted. For example, when the distance range used for the extraction process is the distance range of "R1", the probability that the game medium of "0001" is extracted is 35%. Further, when the distance range used for the extraction process is the distance range of "R2", the probability that the game medium of "0002" is extracted is 5%.

Hereinafter, the extraction process using the distance range table T2 and the extraction target table T3 will be described.

When the game processing device 2 calculates the parameter value based on the player's instruction (for example, the input parameter value input by the player), the game processing device 2 reads out the distance range table T2 stored in the storage unit 22. Next, the game processing device 2 refers to the distance range table T2 and determines the distance range ID of the distance range including the parameter value. For example, when the parameter value is 32 m, "R4" and "R5" are extracted. Then, the game processing device 2 determines one distance range ID based on the probability associated with the extracted distance range ID.

Next, the game processing device 2 reads out the extraction target table T3 stored in the storage unit 22. Next, the game processing device 2 refers to the extraction target table T3 and extracts the game medium ID associated with the determined distance range ID. Then, the game processing device 2 extracts at least one game medium from the extracted game medium IDs based on the probability associated with the extracted game medium IDs. With the above, the extraction process is completed.

Hereinafter, each of the progress control unit 241 and the display control unit 242 included in the processing unit 24 of the game processing device 2 will be described.

The progress control unit 241 acquires the operation information by sequentially receiving the operation information output from the operation devices 3a and 3b at predetermined time intervals via the communication unit 21.

In addition, the progress control unit 241 determines whether or not a game start instruction by the player has been input. For example, when the progress control unit 241 detects that the game start button (not shown) displayed on the display unit 23 has been selected by the player, it determines that the game start instruction by the player has been input.

Further, the progress control unit 241 determines whether or not the player operates the operation device 3a to input a predetermined instruction. For example, the progress control unit 241 determines that a predetermined instruction has been input when the player swings the operation assisting device 4 (operation device 3a) forward based on the operation information transmitted from the operation device 3a. When the progress control unit 241 determines that the acceleration in the vertical downward direction exceeds a predetermined acceleration based on the sequentially acquired operation information, the player swings the operation assisting device 4 (operation device 3a) forward (predetermined). The instruction of) is judged. When the progress control unit 241 determines that a predetermined instruction has been input, the progress control unit 241 detects the timing (input time) of the instruction.

The progress control unit 241 determines the position of the cursor image 705 at the detected timing. The position of the cursor image 705 is, for example, the length from a predetermined position (for example, the lowest position) in the route image 704.

When the progress control unit 241 determines the position of the cursor image 705 at the detected timing, the progress control unit 241 specifies an input parameter value corresponding to the position of the determined cursor image 705. For example, when the position of the cursor image 705 in the route image 704 of the length L is separated by the length X from the predetermined position of the route image 704, the value obtained by the calculation formula "(80X / L) +20" is obtained. , Calculated as an input parameter value. The arithmetic expression is not limited to the above equation, and may be an arithmetic expression that decreases monotonically according to the length X, a discrete function expression, or any other expression.

When the progress control unit 241 specifies the input parameter value, the game setting value stored in the storage unit 22 is read out, and the difference value between the specified input parameter value and the game setting value is calculated as the parameter value. The parameter value (difference value) is an absolute value.

When the progress control unit 241 calculates the parameter value, the progress control unit 241 executes the extraction process. In the extraction process, first, the progress control unit 241 reads out the distance range table T2 stored in the storage unit 22. Next, the progress control unit 241 refers to the read distance range table T2 and determines the distance range ID of the distance range including the parameter value. Next, the progress control unit 241 determines one distance range ID based on the probability associated with the extracted distance range ID.

Next, the progress control unit 241 reads the extraction target table T3 stored in the storage unit 22, refers to the read extraction target table T3, and refers to all of the game medium IDs associated with the determined one distance range ID. Or extract a part. Then, the progress control unit 241 randomly extracts at least one game medium from the extracted game medium IDs based on the probability associated with the extracted game medium IDs. With the above, the extraction process is completed.

Further, when the game progress screen 1010 is displayed by the display control unit 242, the progress control unit 241 performs a pumping operation (the operation assisting equipment 4 is swung up so that the movement locus of the handle portion 42c becomes a circumference). It is determined whether or not the operation of moving the handle portion 42c) has been performed.

For example, when the player swings up the operation assisting device 4 (operation device 3a), the progress control unit 241 determines that the tension parameter increase instruction has been input based on the operation information transmitted from the operation device 3a. When the progress control unit 241 determines that the vertical upward acceleration of the operation device 3a exceeds a predetermined acceleration based on the operation information sequentially acquired from the operation device 3a, the player determines that the operation assist device 4 (operation device 3a) Is determined to have been swung up (a tension parameter increase instruction has been input). The progress control unit 241 increases the tension parameter by a predetermined increase value at the timing when the tension parameter increase instruction is input, and decreases the distance indicated by the distance 1014 by a predetermined distance (for example, 3 m).

For example, when the player moves the handle portion 42c so that the movement locus of the handle portion 42c becomes a circumference, the progress control unit 241 reduces the tension parameter based on the operation information transmitted from the operation device 3b. Determine that the instruction has been entered. The progress control unit 241 extracts the angular velocity centered on the X axis of the operation device 3b based on the X-axis angular velocity information included in the operation information based on the operation information sequentially acquired from the operation device 3b. The progress control unit 241 reduces the tension parameter while extracting the angular velocity about the X axis.

Further, when the progress control unit 241 determines that the duration period in which the tension parameter exceeds the predetermined upper limit value exceeds the end determination period (for example, 2 seconds), the fishing thread object is cut and the game medium escapes (the game is played). It is judged that it has finished). Further, when the progress control unit 241 determines that the duration period in which the tension parameter is below the predetermined lower limit value exceeds the end determination period (for example, 2 seconds), the progress control unit 241 determines that the game medium has escaped (the game has ended). To do.

Further, the progress control unit 241 determines whether or not the distance from the position where the game medium extracted by the extraction process exists to the position of the player is equal to or less than a predetermined end distance (for example, 10 m).

Further, when the progress control unit 241 determines that the distance from the position where the game medium extracted by the extraction process exists to the position of the player is equal to or less than a predetermined end distance (for example, 10 m), the game medium is extracted by the extraction process. The game medium ID of the game medium is stored in the storage unit 22 in association with the player ID of the player.

The display control unit 242 displays a game start button (not shown) on the display unit 23. Further, the display control unit 242 displays the game progress screen 700 on the display unit 23 when it is determined by the progress control unit 241 that the game start instruction by the player has been input.

Further, when the progress control unit 241 executes the extraction process, the display control unit 242 displays the game progress screen 1000 on the display unit 23, and when a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) elapses, the game progress screen 1010 is displayed. It is displayed on the display unit 23.

Further, when the progress control unit 241 determines that the distance from the position where the game medium extracted by the extraction process exists to the position of the player is equal to or less than a predetermined end distance (for example, 10 m), the display control unit 242 displays the game success screen 1210 on the display unit 23.

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of an operation flow of game progress processing by the processing unit 24 of the game processing device 2.

First, when the progress control unit 241 determines that the game start instruction by the player has been input, the display control unit 242 displays the game progress screen 700 on the display unit 23 (step S101).

The progress control unit 241 determines whether or not the player operates the operation device 3a to input a predetermined instruction (step S102). For example, the progress control unit 241 determines whether or not the player has swung the operation assisting device 4 (operation device 3a) forward based on the operation information transmitted from the operation device 3a.

When the progress control unit 241 determines that the player has not operated the operation device 3a to input the predetermined instruction (step S102-No), the progress control unit 241 waits until the predetermined instruction from the player is input.

When it is determined by the progress control unit 241 that the player has operated the operation device 3a to input a predetermined instruction (step S102-Yes), the parameter value is based on the input parameter value according to the predetermined instruction from the player. Is calculated (step S103).

Next, the progress control unit 241 refers to the distance range table T2 and determines the distance range ID of the distance range including the parameter value calculated in step S103 (step S104).

Next, the progress control unit 241 refers to the extraction target table T3 and executes an extraction process for extracting at least one game medium from the game medium ID associated with the distance range ID determined in step S104 (. Step S105).

Next, the progress control unit 241 is the player from the position where the game medium extracted by the extraction process exists, based on the operation information from the operation devices 3a and 3b corresponding to the pumping operation using the operation assisting equipment 4 by the player. The distance to the position and the tension parameter are changed (step S106).

Next, the progress control unit 241 determines whether or not the game has ended based on the tension parameter (step S107).

When the progress control unit 241 determines that the game has ended based on the tension parameter (step S107-Yes), the progress control unit 241 ends a series of processes.

When the progress control unit 241 determines that the game has not ended (step S107-No), the distance from the position where the game medium extracted by the extraction process exists to the position of the player is equal to or less than the predetermined end distance. It is determined whether or not the result has been obtained (step S108).
