The game management unit 213 executes a process of managing the progress of the competitive game. In the progress of this game, the attack from the attacking side to the defending side, the determination of victory or defeat, etc. are managed. The game management unit 213 holds data regarding the attack time limit for changing the attacking side.

As shown in FIG. 4A, in the present embodiment, the game screen 500 includes a battle display area 510 and an operation area 520.
In the battle display area 510, the player images 511 and 512 to play against each other are displayed. In the present embodiment, the player image 511 of the user and the player image 512 of the opponent (here, the computer) are displayed.

A plurality of figures (polygon icon 521) arranged in two dimensions are displayed in the operation area 520. In this embodiment, the hexagonal polygon icon 521 is used. A plurality of other polygon icons 521 are arranged adjacent to each side of each polygon icon 521. For example, the polygon icons 521a, 521b, and 521c are adjacent to the six, three, and two polygon icons 521, respectively. Then, by touching the touch panel display 25 and moving (swipe) the touch position with a single stroke, the adjacent polygonal icon 521 can be selected.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4A, each polygonal icon 521 is provided with an information display area 522 on which a key (identifier) assigned to each polygon icon 521 is displayed. Then, the attack command corresponding to this key sequence can be selected by the key sequence connecting the keys displayed on the polygon icon 521 selected by one stroke (input locus).

As shown in FIG. 4 (b), in the present embodiment, the keys are "upper (↑)", "lower (↓)", "left (←)", "right (→)", "oblique upper right", One of the keys "diagonal upper left", "oblique lower right", "oblique lower left", "P (punch)", and "K (kick)" is displayed. The key may be any key as long as it can identify each polygonal icon 521, and characters, colors, or the like can be used.

Further, the control unit 21 includes a memory 215 for managing the progress of the game. The memory 215 holds key layout information, input locus information, and game progress information.

Will be done.

In the game progress information, data on attack right setting and physical strength is recorded for each player. This game progress information is registered when the user starts the game, and is deleted when the user ends the game.

In the player data area, data regarding an identifier for identifying a player who plays a match is recorded. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the user (first player) of the user terminal 20 and the computer (second player) play against each other. In this case, an identifier that identifies the "computer" as an opponent is recorded in the player data area of the game progress information in the memory 215.

In the attack right setting data area, a flag for identifying the player who has the attack right is recorded. In the present embodiment, a player having an attack right can attack an opponent (defender).

In the physical strength data area, data on factors (physical strength) that determine the outcome of a fighting game is recorded. In the present embodiment, the defender's physical strength is reduced by the attack, and if the physical strength first falls below the reference value (for example, "0"), the player is defeated.

Battle screen information, operation screen information, and command list are recorded in the storage unit 22.
The battle screen information is information that defines a player image or the like to be displayed in the battle display area 510.

In the attack command data area, data regarding an identifier for identifying the type of attack is recorded.
In the activation key data area, data related to the keys (single key and key sequence) required to activate this attack are recorded. For example, as the activation key, the single keys "K" and "P", the key row ("bottom"->"bottomright"->"right"->"P"), and the key row ("bottom"->"bottom left diagonal") "→" Left "→" K ") etc. are recorded.

In the attack power data area, data regarding the power of this attack (the amount of damage received by the defender) is recorded. Further, it is possible to perform a continuous attack in combination with other attack commands in one input locus. Due to this continuous attack, adjustment values are recorded to change (eg, "larger") this attack power.

In the attack animation data area, data relating to a moving image indicating the attack content displayed in the battle display area 510 is recorded.
Next, the processing of the control unit 21 at the time of the game will be described. Here, start processing (FIG. 2 (a)), tap processing (FIG. 2 (b)), input operation processing (FIG. 2 (c)), time limit management processing (FIG. 2 (d)), input completion processing ( This will be described in the order of FIG. 3).

(Start process)
First, the activation process will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 (a) and 5. When playing a fighting game, a game application is started on the user terminal 20.

In this case, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the game screen display process (step S0-1). Specifically, the display control unit 211 of the control unit 21 outputs the game screen 500 including the battle display area 510 and the operation area 520 to the touch panel display 25.

Next, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the key output process (step S0-2). Specifically, the game management unit 213 of the control unit 21 randomly assigns a key to each polygonal icon 521, associates each key with the polygonal icon 521, and stores the key in the memory 215. Then, the display control unit 211 outputs the generated key to the information display area 522 of each polygon icon 521.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 5A, on the game screen 500, the key assigned to each polygon icon 521 is displayed in the information display area 522.
(Tap processing)
Next, the tap process (identifier change process) will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 (b) and 4 (b). When the player changes the key, tap the polygon icon 521 (tap operation).

In this case, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the tap detection process (step S1-1). Specifically, the display control unit 211 of the control unit 21 determines that the touch operation is a tap operation when the touch panel display 25 detects that the finger is released in a predetermined short time without moving the finger from the touch.

Next, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the key change process (step S1-2). Specifically, the game management unit 213 of the control unit 21 randomly assigns keys to the tapped polygon icon 521, associates each key with the polygon icon 521, and stores the keys in the memory 215. Then, the display control unit 211 outputs the generated key to the information display area 522 of each polygon icon 521.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 4B, randomly selected keys are displayed in the information display area 522 of each polygonal icon 521. Here, a plurality of tap processes such as one tap and two taps can be repeated until a desired key is displayed.

(Input operation processing)
Next, the input operation process will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 (c) and 5. Here, the user confirms the key layout displayed on each polygonal icon 521 on the game screen 500 displayed on the touch panel display 25. Then, the activation key (single key or keyboard layout) corresponding to the predetermined attack command is searched according to the key arrangement situation. When a desired attack command is found, the touch panel display 25 performs a touch operation on the first key of the activation key.

When the touch operation is performed, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the touch detection process (step S2-1). Specifically, the operation management unit 212 of the control unit 21 detects a touch on the touch panel display 25. Then, the operation management unit 212 stores the key assigned to the touched polygonal icon 521 in the memory 215.

Next, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the reduced display process (step S2-2). Specifically, the display control unit 211 of the control unit 21 reduces and displays the selected polygonal icon 521 at a predetermined ratio. When the return of the finger is detected on the input locus without being released from the touch panel display 25, the display control unit 211 returns the released polygonal icon 521 to the original size display.

FIG. 5B shows a case where each of the three polygon icons 521 is selected by one stroke without being released. In this case, on the game screen 500, each polygonal icon 521 on the input locus is reduced and displayed.

Next, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes a search process for an effective combination based on the input locus (step S2-3). Specifically, the display control unit 211 of the control unit 21 identifies an input key (key or key sequence) stored in the memory 215. Then, the display control unit 211 searches the command list stored in the storage unit 22 for the attack command of the activation key that previously matches the input key.

Next, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes a determination process as to whether or not there is a possibility that the command is completed (step S2-4). Specifically, when the display control unit 211 of the control unit 21 can detect an attack command that previously matches the input key, the display control unit 211 identifies the next key that is missing in this activation key. Next, the display control unit 211 identifies all polygon icons 521 (peripheral figures) adjacent to the final position of the input locus (last selected polygon icon 521). Then, the display control unit 211 specifies the key (adjacent key) of the specified polygonal icon 521. Then, when the adjacent key is added to the input key corresponding to the input locus, the display control unit 211 confirms whether or not there is a key necessary for completing the activation key. When the key required to complete the activation key is detected, it is determined that the command may be completed. On the other hand, if the key required to complete the activation key cannot be detected, it is determined that there is no possibility of command completion.

When it is determined that there is no possibility of command completion (when "NO" in step S2-4), the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 returns to the touch detection process (step S2-1).
On the other hand, when it is determined that there is a possibility that the command is completed (when "YES" in step S2-4), the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the hint output process (step S2-5). Specifically, the operation management unit 212 of the control unit 21 emphasizes so that the polygonal icon 521 displaying the key required to complete the activation key can be identified among the adjacent polygonal icons 521. Display (hint display).

FIG. 5B shows a case where there are two possibilities that the activation key can be completed by the key sequence of the polygonal icon 521 of the input locus. In this case, the polygonal icon 521 to which the key necessary for completing the activation key is assigned to the last polygonal icon 521 is highlighted by a double line. Then, the process returns to the touch detection process (step S2-1).

(Time limit management process)
Next, the time limit management process will be described with reference to FIG. 2 (d).
Here, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes a countdown process for the attackable period (step S3-1). Specifically, the game management unit 213 of the control unit 21 measures the elapsed time from the start of the attack on the attacking side.

Next, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes a determination process as to whether or not the attackable period has expired (step S3-2). Specifically, the game management unit 213 of the control unit 21 compares the elapsed time with the attack time limit. Then, when the elapsed time reaches the attack time limit, it is determined that the attackable period has ended.

When it is determined that the elapsed time has not reached the attack time limit and the attackable period has not ended (when "NO" in step S3-2), the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 counts down the attack time limit. The process (step S3-1) is continued.

On the other hand, when the elapsed time reaches the attack time limit and it is determined that the attackable period has ended (when "YES" in step S3-2), the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the change process on the attack side. (Step S3-3). Specifically, the game management unit 213 of the control unit 21 changes the attack right setting to the opponent player in the game progress information recorded in the memory 215. In this case, the key output process (step S0-2) is executed again for the opponent.

(Input completion processing)
Next, the input completion process at the end of the one-stroke input will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 5. When the user completes the input of the desired single key or key sequence, the user performs a release operation of releasing the finger from the touch panel display 25.

In this case, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the release detection process (step S4-1). Specifically, the operation management unit 212 of the control unit 21 detects the release of the touched finger on the touch panel display 25.

Next, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the input locus specifying process (step S4-2). Specifically, the game management unit 213 of the control unit 21 identifies an input key (single key or key sequence) in the input locus information stored in the memory 215.

Next, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes a search process for valid commands according to the input locus (step S4-3). Specifically, the game management unit 213 of the control unit 21 searches the command list of the storage unit 22 for an attack command corresponding to an input key. In this case, first, the activation key of one attack command is specified from the beginning of the input key. When one attack command can be identified, the game management unit 213 confirms whether or not a further activation key is included in the remaining input keys. Then, the game management unit 213 specifies all attack commands in the input keys constituting the input locus.

Next, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes a determination process as to whether or not there is a valid command (step S4-4). Specifically, the game management unit 213 of the control unit 21 confirms whether or not at least one attack command can be specified by the input key. If at least one attack command can be identified, it is determined that there is a valid command.

If the attack command cannot be specified and it is determined that there is no valid command (in the case of "NO" in step S4-4), the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 ends the input completion process.
On the other hand, when it is determined that there is a valid command (when "YES" in step S4-4), the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 repeats the following processing for the valid command.

Here, first, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the attack process (step S4-5). Specifically, the game management unit 213 of the control unit 21 executes an attack command corresponding to a valid command specified in the command list. In this case, the display control unit 211 outputs an attack animation from the player having the attack right to the defending player in the battle display area 510.

Next, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the physical strength update process of the opponent (step S4-6). Specifically, the game management unit 213 of the control unit 21 identifies the attack power associated with the attack command in the command list recorded in the storage unit 22. Here, in the case of a continuous attack including the preceding attack command, the game management unit 213 changes (largely) the attack power by using the adjustment value of the command list as the continuous attack of the attack command. Then, the game management unit 213 identifies the physical strength of the defending player in the game progress information recorded in the memory 215. Then, the game management unit 213 updates the physical strength of the defending player to a value obtained by subtracting the attack power.

Next, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes a determination process as to whether or not the battle has ended (step S4-7). Specifically, the game management unit 213 of the control unit 21 compares the physical strength of the defending player with the reference value (here, “0”). Then, when the physical strength becomes less than the standard value, the battle is ended.

When it is determined that the battle is over (when "YES" in step S4-7), the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the winning process on the attacking side (step S4-8). Specifically, the game management unit 213 of the control unit 21 identifies the player (attacking side) having the attack right as the winner. In this case, the display control unit 211 outputs a victory animation for the attacking player and a defeat animation for the defending player in the battle display area 510.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the defending player's physical strength remains and the battle is not over (when "NO" in step S4-7), the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 determines that the remaining valid commands are in step S4-. The processing after 5 is repeated.

In FIG. 5C, it is assumed that two input loci TR1 and TR2 are detected between touch and release in the input locus by the eight polygon icons 521. Here, the key sequence of the input locus TR1 is "bottom"-> "lower right diagonal"-> "right"-> "P", and the key row of the input locus TR2 is "bottom"-> "lower left diagonal"-> "left". "→" K ". In this case, the attack commands corresponding to the input trajectories TR1 and TR2 are executed as continuous attacks.

As shown in FIG. 5D, the player image 511 having the attack right attacks the defending player image 512. Here, the attack AT1 based on the input locus TR1 and the attack AT2 based on the input locus TR2 are sequentially executed.

Then, when the processing for all the valid commands is completed, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the key reoutput processing (step S4-9). Specifically, the game management unit 213 of the control unit 21 randomly assigns a key to the polygonal icon 521 on the input locus. Then, the display control unit 211 outputs the generated key to the information display area 522 of each polygon icon 521, and ends the input completion process.

(Computer battle processing)
The attack processing when the opponent is a computer and this computer has the attack right will be described. In this case, the game management unit 213 of the control unit 21 searches for the activation key of the attack command in the key layout displayed in the operation area 520 of the touch panel display 25. Then, within the attackable period, the attack command is repeated in order from the activation key having the largest attack power. If the opponent is a computer and the computer is the attacking side, the key change by tap processing is not allowed.

According to the above embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) In the above embodiment, the battle display area 510 displays the player images 511 and 512 to be played against each other. Further, a plurality of polygon icons 521 are displayed in the operation area 520. A plurality of other polygon icons 521 are arranged adjacent to each side of each polygon icon 521. As a result, a plurality of polygonal icons 521 can be continuously selected by one-stroke writing, and a command using a key sequence can be input.

(2) In the above embodiment, each polygonal icon 521 is provided with an information display area 522 on which the key assigned to each polygon icon 521 is displayed. As a result, various information can be displayed on the polygon icon 521 and used for command input by combining these. For example, for one key, various attacks can be selected by the subsequent key to be selected.

Further, in the tap process, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the key change process (step S1-2). As a result, the desired key can be changed to facilitate the establishment of a valid command.

(3) In the above embodiment, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the reduced display process (step S2-2). As a result, the user can specify the input locus. Further, when the return of the finger is detected on the input locus without being released from the touch panel display 25, the display control unit 211 returns the released polygonal icon 521 to the original display. As a result, the selection of the polygon icon 521 can be redone.

(4) In the above embodiment, when it is determined that the command may be completed (when "YES" in step S2-4), the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the hint output process (step S2). -5). This allows you to enjoy the game with hints even if you are not familiar with the activation key.

(5) In the above embodiment, when the elapsed time reaches the attack time limit and it is determined that the attackable period has ended (when “YES” in step S3-2), the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 attacks. The change process on the side is executed (step S3-3). As a result, it is possible to enjoy a game with a sense of speed within the time limit.

(6) In the above embodiment, when it is determined that there is a valid command (when "YES" in step S4-4), the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 performs an attack process (step S4-5) for the valid command. repeat. As a result, it is possible to launch a continuous attack that combines a plurality of attacks with a single stroke.

<Second embodiment>
Next, the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8. In the first embodiment, a hint about a polygonal icon to which a key capable of invoking an attack command is assigned is output. In the second embodiment, a hidden command (hidden command) is set for the polygon icon, and detailed description of the same part will be omitted.

In the present embodiment, the polygonal icon 521 having the same pattern and color (same identifier) can be selected with a single stroke. Also in this second embodiment, the tap process and the time limit management process are executed, and the attack right is changed based on the attack time limit.

In the present embodiment, when the polygonal icon 521 (hidden command figure) in which the hidden command is set is selected, the game progress is disadvantageous to the attacking side (for example, defeat). The polygonal icon 521 on which the hidden command is set has the same form as the normal polygonal icon 521, and the presence or absence of the hidden command cannot be visually identified.

In the present embodiment, a hidden mass flag and a hint mass flag are recorded in the key layout information in association with the icon identifier.
The hidden mass flag is a flag for identifying the polygonal icon 521 in which the hidden command is set.

The hint mass flag is a flag for specifying a polygonal icon 521 (hint display figure) that displays a hint about a hidden command. In the present embodiment, in the polygon icon 521 of the hint mass, the number (positional relationship information) of the polygon icons 521 in which the adjacent hidden command is set is output as a hint.

Here, as in FIG. 4A, the game screen 500 includes a battle display area 510 and an operation area 520. A plurality of polygon icons 521 are displayed in the operation area 520. A plurality of other polygon icons 521 are arranged adjacent to each side of each polygon icon 521. Then, by touching the touch panel display 25 and moving (swipe) the touch position with a single stroke, the adjacent polygonal icon 521 can be selected.

Further, each polygon icon 521 is provided with an information display area 522 on which hints are displayed. A hint about the polygonal icon 521 adjacent to the input locus is output to the information display area 522. In the present embodiment, in the polygon icon 521 adjacent to the input locus, the number of neighbors to the polygon icon 521 in which the hidden command is set is displayed.

In the command list of the storage unit 22 of the present embodiment, an attack power function for determining the attack power is registered. In this attack power function, for example, a function for determining the attack power is recorded according to the attribute (pattern, color) and the number of keys assigned to the polygon icon 521.

(Start process)
The activation process will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 (a) and 8 (a). When playing a fighting game, a game application is started on the user terminal 20.

In this case, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the game screen display process (step S5-1). Specifically, the display control unit 211 of the control unit 21 outputs the game screen 500 including the battle display area 510 and the operation area 520 to the touch panel display 25.

Next, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the hidden key setting process (step S5-2). Specifically, the game management unit 213 of the control unit 21 assigns a hidden command to a randomly selected polygonal icon 521. Then, the game management unit 213 records the information about the polygonal icon 521 (hidden square) in which the hidden square flag is set in the key layout information of the memory 215.

Next, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the key output process (step S5-3). Specifically, the game management unit 213 of the control unit 21 randomly assigns keys (patterns, colors) to each polygonal icon 521. Then, the display control unit 211 outputs the generated key to the entire surface of each polygonal icon 521.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 8A, on the game screen 500, each polygonal icon 521 displays a key (pattern, color) assigned to each. Here, it is assumed that a hidden command is assigned to the polygon icon 521s.

(Input operation processing)
Next, the input operation process will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 (b) and 8. Here, the user confirms the key layout displayed on each polygonal icon 521 on the game screen 500 displayed on the touch panel display 25. Then, the activation key (single key or keyboard layout) corresponding to the predetermined attack command is searched according to the key arrangement situation. When a desired attack command is found, a touch operation is performed on the touch panel display 25.

When the touch operation is performed, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the touch detection process (step S6-1). Specifically, the operation management unit 212 of the control unit 21 detects a touch on the touch panel display 25. The operation management unit 212 stores the key assigned to the touched polygonal icon 521 in the memory 215.

Next, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the reduced display process (step S6-2). Specifically, the display control unit 211 of the control unit 21 reduces and displays the selected polygonal icon 521 at a predetermined ratio.

FIG. 8B shows a case where each of the five polygonal icons 521 is selected by one stroke without being released. In this case, on the game screen 500, each polygonal icon 521 on the input locus is reduced and displayed.

(Hint processing)
Hint processing will be described with reference to FIG. 6 (c).
Here, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the detection process of the contact state with the hidden mass (step S7-1). Specifically, the game management unit 213 of the control unit 21 identifies the polygonal icon 521 (hint mass) in which the hint mass flag is recorded in the key layout information of the memory 215. Then, the game management unit 213 calculates the number of polygonal icons 521 (hidden squares) (the number of hidden squares in contact) in which the hidden squares flag is set in the polygonal icons 521 adjacent to the hint squares.

Next, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes a display process of the hidden mass contact state (step S7-2). Specifically, the display control unit 211 of the control unit 21 outputs the number of hidden mass contacts calculated by the game management unit 213 to the information display area 522 of each polygonal icon 521 of the hint mass.

(Input completion processing)
Next, the input completion process will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. When the user completes the input of the desired single key or key sequence, the user performs a release operation of releasing the finger from the touch panel display 25.

In this case, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the release detection process in the same manner as in step S4-1 (step S8-1).
Next, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the input locus specifying process in the same manner as in step S4-2 (step S8-2).

Next, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes a determination process as to whether or not there is a hidden key on the input locus (step S8-3). Specifically, the game management unit 213 of the control unit 21 uses the key layout information recorded in the memory 215 to confirm whether or not the hidden mass flag is set in the selected polygonal icon 521.

When it is determined that there is a hidden key on the input locus (when "YES" in step S8-3), the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the defeat process on the attacking side (step S8-4). Specifically, the game management unit 213 of the control unit 21 identifies the player having the attack right as the loser. In this case, the display control unit 211 outputs a defeat animation for the player who has the attack right and a victory animation for the defending player in the battle display area 510.

On the other hand, when it is determined that there is no hidden key on the input locus (when "NO" in step S8-3), the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes a change process to the hint mass around the input locus (when it is determined that there is no hidden key). Step S8-5). Specifically, the game management unit 213 of the control unit 21 sets a hint mass flag for the polygonal icon 521 around the input locus in the key arrangement information.

In FIG. 8C, a hint mass flag is set for the polygonal icon 521 adjacent to the input locus on the game screen 500. Then, by the hint processing described above, the hint is displayed in the information display area 522 of the polygonal icon 521 in which the hint mass flag is set. Here, since the polygon icon 521s is a hidden square, "1" is displayed on the polygon icon 521 adjacent thereto. On the other hand, "0" is displayed on the polygonal icon 521 that does not touch the hidden square.

Next, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the attack power calculation process based on the input locus (step S8-6). Specifically, the game management unit 213 of the control unit 21 calculates the attack power by using the attack power function recorded in the command list.

Next, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes a mass erasing process on the input locus (step S8-7). Specifically, the game management unit 213 of the control unit 21 erases the polygonal icon 521 on the input locus in the operation area 520.

Next, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the attack process (step S8-8). Specifically, the game management unit 213 of the control unit 21 executes an attack command corresponding to a valid command specified in the command list. In this case, the display control unit 211 outputs an attack animation from the player having the attack right to the defending player in the battle display area 510.

Next, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the physical strength update process of the opponent in the same manner as in step S4-6 (step S8-9).
Next, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes a determination process as to whether or not the battle has ended (step S8-10), as in step S4-7.

When it is determined that the battle is over (when "YES" in step S8-10), the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the winning process on the attacking side in the same manner as in step S4-8 (step S8-11). ..

When it is determined that the battle is not over (when "NO" in step S8-10), the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the mass movement / addition process according to the erased mass (step S8-12). Specifically, the display control unit 211 of the control unit 21 moves the remaining polygonal icon 521 so as to fill the area of the polygonal icon 521 erased on the input locus. Further, the display control unit 211 adds a polygon icon 521 so as to fill in the blank portion. Then, the game management unit 213 additionally randomly assigns a new key to the polygon icon 521. In this case, the hint processing is executed again for the polygonal icon 521 in which the hint mass is set.

In FIG. 8D, the polygonal icon 521 on the input locus is erased, and the upper polygonal icon 521 moves downward. Further, a new polygon icon 521 is inserted at the upper end of the operation area 520. Also in this case, the hidden key is randomly set in the newly inserted polygon icon 521 by the hidden key setting process (step S5-2). Further, in the polygonal icon 521 in which the hint mass flag is recorded, hints are displayed according to the number of contacts of the surrounding hidden masses.

According to the above embodiment, in addition to the effect of the first embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(7) In the above embodiment, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the hidden key setting process (step S5-2). As a result, the game can be enjoyed using settings other than the keys displayed on the touch panel display 25.

(8) In the above embodiment, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the detection process of the contact state with the hidden mass (step S7-1). Then, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes a display process of the hidden mass contact state (step S7-2). This allows you to use hints to select attack commands while predicting the location of hidden keys.

The above embodiment may be changed as follows.
-In the first and second embodiments, a plurality of polygon icons 521 are displayed in the operation area 520. The shape of the icon for inputting the trajectory is not limited to the polygon. It is also possible to use a circular shape or the key itself (characters or symbols) as long as the adjacent icons can be continuously selected and the trajectory can be specified by writing with a single stroke.

-In the first and second embodiments described above, a computer is used as an opponent. Instead of this, it may be possible to play against other users. In this case, access the management server that manages the social network game. In this case, the management server identifies two users who are to play against each other, and executes the input operation process and the input completion process.

-In the first and second embodiments described above, in the time limit management process, the attack right is changed based on the attack time limit. Instead of this, the attack right may be changed for each input completion process. In this case, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 changes the attack right to the other party when the input completion process is completed.

Further, the attack time limit may be changed according to the ability of the player. In this case, the ability of the player is determined according to the skill of the user and the number of times of use (user attribute). Specifically, the storage unit 22 stores user attribute information regarding skills and the number of times of use. Further, the game management unit 213 stores the time limit calculation information for determining the attack time limit based on the skill and the number of times of use. Then, the game management unit 213 determines the attack time limit using the time limit calculation information.

In addition, when a computer is used as an opponent, the attack right may be changed according to the number of attack limits instead of the attack limit time. In this case, the game management unit 213 counts the number of times the input completion process is completed. Then, when the number of endings reaches a predetermined number, the game management unit 213 changes the attack right to the other party.

-In the first and second embodiments, the attack command is specified based on the key assigned to the polygon icon 521 selected in the input locus. In addition to this, the attack content may be changed depending on the shape of the input locus. In this case, the storage unit 22 records a correction function for adjusting the attack power in association with the input locus pattern. For example, in the case of a linear input locus, a correction function that increases the attack power is used. Then, the attack power is adjusted based on the correction function according to the shape of the input locus.

-In the first and second embodiments, symbols, characters and colors are displayed as keys on the polygonal icon 521. The keys displayed on the polygon icon 521 are not limited to these. In this case, the key combination displayed on the polygon icon 521 is recorded in the command list as the activation key. Further, it may be a predetermined word (for example, a spell or a real word) from the key string of the input locus. In this case, the attributes (category and difficulty) of the spell or real word are specified, and the attack power is calculated based on these attributes. Then, when the key combination in the input locus matches the activation key, the attack command is executed.

-In the first and second embodiments, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the key change process by the tap process (step S1-2). Here, the key is randomly assigned and changed. Instead of this, the changes may be made in a predetermined order. In this case, the key output order (for example, "upper"-> "oblique upper right"-> "right"-> "oblique lower right"-> "lower"-> ...-> "K (kick)") is determined. This allows the user to change the key in consideration of regularity.

In addition, if the key is changed by tapping, a penalty (a condition that is disadvantageous in the battle) may be set. In this case, the game management unit 213 stores the penalty information for determining the penalty. As the penalty, for example, subtraction of the attack power of the effective command, increase of damage from the opponent (subtraction of physical strength), shortening of the attack time limit, and the like can be used. Then, the game management unit 213 determines a penalty according to the number of taps and plays a match. As a result, the game can be played while considering the facilitation of establishment of valid commands by tap processing and the disadvantages.

-In the first embodiment, when it is determined that there is a possibility that the command is completed (when "YES" in step S2-4), the control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 executes the hint output process (step). S2-5). Here, highlighting is performed so that the polygonal icon 521 on which the key required to complete the activation key is displayed can be identified. The method of displaying hints is not limited to this. For example, the attack command recorded in the command list may be displayed in correspondence with the polygon icon 521.
