The processor 20 reads a program from the storage 22 described later and expands it into the memory 21 described later. Processor 10 and processor 20 execute the expanded program.

The memories 11 and 21 are the main storage devices. The memories 11 and 21 are composed of a storage device such as a ROM (Read Only Memory) and a RAM (Random Access Memory). The memory 11 provides a work area to the processor 10 by temporarily storing a program and various data read from the storage 12 described later by the processor 10. The memory 11 also temporarily stores various data generated while the processor 10 is operating according to the program. The memory 21 provides a work area to the processor 20 by temporarily storing various programs and data read from the storage 22 described later by the processor 20. The memory 21 also temporarily stores various data generated while the processor 20 is operating according to the program.

In this embodiment, the program is a game program for realizing a game by cooperation between the user terminal 100 and the server 200. Further, the various data include data related to the game such as user information and game information, and instructions and notifications to be transmitted and received between the user terminal 100 and the server 200.

The storages 12 and 22 are auxiliary storage devices. The storages 12 and 22 are composed of a storage device such as a flash memory or an HDD (Hard Disk Drive). Various data related to the game are stored in the storage 12 and the storage 22.

The communication IF 13 controls the transmission / reception of various data in the user terminal 100. The communication IF 23 controls the transmission / reception of various data in the server 200. The communication IFs 13 and 23 control communication using, for example, communication via a wireless LAN (Local Area Network), Internet communication via a wired LAN, a wireless LAN, or a mobile phone network, and communication using short-range wireless communication.

The input / output IF 14 is an interface for the user terminal 100 to receive data input, and an interface for the user terminal 100 to output data. The input / output IF 14 may input / output data via USB (Universal Serial Bus) or the like. The input / output IF 14 may include, for example, a physical button of the user terminal 100, a camera, a microphone, a speaker, and the like. The input / output IF 24 of the server 200 is an interface for the server 200 to receive data input, and an interface for the server 200 to output data. The input / output IF 24 may include, for example, an input unit that is an information input device such as a mouse or a keyboard, and a display unit that is a device that displays and outputs an image.

The touch screen 15 of the user terminal 100 is an electronic component that combines an input unit 151 and a display unit 152. The input unit 151 is, for example, a touch-sensitive device, and is configured by, for example, a touch pad. The display unit 152 is composed of, for example, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display, or the like.

The input unit 151 detects a position where a user's operation (mainly a physical contact operation such as a touch operation, a slide operation, a swipe operation, and a tap operation) is input to the input surface, and inputs information indicating the position. It has a function to transmit as a signal. The input unit 151 may include a touch sensing unit (not shown). The touch sensing unit may adopt any method such as a capacitance method or a resistance film method.

The distance measuring sensor 18 includes, for example, a light source that emits pulse-converted light and a light receiving element that receives the light. The distance measuring sensor 18 measures the distance to the object to be measured by the timing of light emission from the light source and the timing of receiving the reflected light reflected by the emitted light against the object to be measured. The distance measuring sensor 18 may have a light source that emits light having directivity.

Here, an example in which the user terminal 100 receives the detection result of detecting the object 1010 in the vicinity of the user terminal 100 by using the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18 as an input operation of the user will be further described. The camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18 may be provided on the side surface of the housing of the user terminal 100, for example. A ranging sensor 18 may be provided in the vicinity of the camera 17. As the camera 17, for example, an infrared camera can be used. In this case, the camera 17 may be provided with a lighting device that irradiates infrared rays, a filter that blocks visible light, and the like. This makes it possible to further improve the detection accuracy of the object based on the captured image of the camera 17, regardless of whether it is outdoors or indoors.

The processor 10 may perform one or more of the processes shown in the following (1) to (5), for example, on the captured image of the camera 17. (1) The processor 10 performs image recognition processing on the captured image of the camera 17 to specify whether or not the captured image includes a user's hand. The processor 10 may use, for example, a technique such as pattern matching as the analysis technique adopted in the above-mentioned image recognition process. (2) Further, the processor 10 detects the user's gesture from the shape of the user's hand. The processor 10 specifies, for example, the number of fingers of the user (the number of extended fingers) from the shape of the user's hand detected from the captured image. The processor 10 further identifies the gesture performed by the user from the number of identified fingers. For example, if the number of fingers is 5, it is determined that the user has made a "par" gesture, and if the number of fingers is 0 (no fingers are detected), the user makes a "goo" gesture. It is determined that the gesture has been performed, and if the number of fingers is two, it is determined that the user has performed the "choki" gesture. (3) The processor 10 performs image recognition processing on the captured image of the camera 17 to detect whether the user's finger is in a state where only the index finger is raised or whether the user's finger is repelled. .. (4) The processor 10 is an object 1010 (user's hand or the like) in the vicinity of the user terminal 100 based on at least one of the image recognition result of the captured image of the camera 17 and the output value of the distance measuring sensor 18. ) And the user terminal 100. For example, the processor 10 may have the user's hand near the user terminal 100 (for example, a distance less than a predetermined value) or far away (for example, a predetermined value) depending on the size of the shape of the user's hand specified from the captured image of the camera 17. Detect if it is at the above distance). When the captured image is a moving image, the processor 10 may detect whether the user's hand is approaching or moving away from the user terminal 100. (5) In the processor 10, when the user's hand is detected by the image recognition result of the captured image of the camera 17, and the distance between the user terminal 100 and the user's hand changes, the user's hand is used. Is recognized as shaking in the shooting direction of the camera 17. When the processor 10 detects or does not detect an object in the distance measuring sensor 18 having a stronger directivity than the shooting range of the camera 17, the user is waving his / her hand in a direction orthogonal to the shooting direction of the camera. recognize.

As described above, the processor 10 determines whether or not the user is holding the hand (whether it is a “goo” gesture or another gesture (for example, “par”) by image recognition for the captured image of the camera 17. Or) is detected. Further, the processor 10 detects the shape of the user's hand, how the hand is moved, and whether the hand is approaching or moving away from the user terminal 100. Such an operation can correspond to an operation using a pointing device such as a mouse or a touch panel, for example. For example, the user terminal 100 moves the pointer on the touch screen 15 in response to the movement of the user's hand, and detects the user's gesture “goo”. In this case, the user terminal 100 determines that the state is selected by the user (mouse click continuation, touch panel touchdown, and touch continuation). Further, the user terminal 100 can also determine that the movement is a swipe operation (or a drag operation) when the user further moves the hand while the user's gesture "goo" is detected. Further, for example, when the user terminal 100 detects a gesture that the user flips a finger in the detection result of the user's hand by the image taken by the camera 17, the processing corresponding to the mouse click and the tap operation to the touch panel is performed. You may do it.

In the RPG according to the present embodiment, in addition to the above-mentioned two game parts, for example, a story part that develops an interaction between the main character and other characters to advance the story, enhancement or evolution of the character, and A maintenance part that performs maintenance for each character by executing a lottery to acquire the necessary materials for that purpose, making the hero perform a specific action, or following the user's operation, etc. It may include a battle transition part that triggers an event for transition. Each part execution unit (not shown) that executes each of these game parts may be included in the control unit 110. In the present embodiment, when an event that encounters an enemy character occurs in the battle transition part, the battle transition part is performed.

The server 200 may have at least a part of the functions of the user terminal 100. Further, the user terminal 100 may have at least a part of the functions provided by the server 200. Further, devices other than the user terminal 100 and the server 200 may be used as components of the game system 1, and the other devices may be made to execute a part of the processing in the game system 1. That is, the computer that executes the game program in the present embodiment may be any of the user terminal 100, the server 200, and other devices.

<Processing flow of user terminal 100>
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing executed by the user terminal 100 based on the game program.

In step S1, the deck processing unit 114 starts the deck formation part. Specifically, the deck organization screen is displayed on the display unit 152 via the display control unit 112, and the user's operation is awaited.

In step S2, the operation receiving unit 111 receives a user's operation for arranging the characters to be incorporated into the party. The user's operation is, for example, a tap operation for selecting a character to be included in the party, or a drag-and-drop operation for arranging the selected characters in a predetermined deck.

In step S3, the deck processing unit 114 executes the deck organization process for organizing the deck according to the user's operation. In the deck organization process, the UI control unit 113 displays a UI object for supporting the user's operation related to the deck organization. The detailed contents of the deck formation process will be described later based on FIG. 7.

In step S4, the part execution unit (not shown) that executes the battle transition part executes the battle transition part according to the user's operation.

If YES in step S5, that is, if the above-mentioned part execution unit determines that an event in which the party encounters an enemy character has occurred, the battle part execution unit 115 starts the battle in step S6.

If YES in step S7, that is, if the skill activation condition is satisfied during the battle, the battle part execution unit 115 causes the character to activate the skill in step S8. As an example, in an array of characters incorporated into a party, when another second character arranged in a predetermined position from the position of the first character that is the main body that activates the skill meets a predetermined activation condition, in a battle, Activate the skill of the first character. The details of the skill and the detailed contents regarding the conditions for activating the skill will be described later.

If YES in step S9, that is, if the enemy character is annihilated and the party wins the battle, or if the party is annihilated and the battle is defeated, the battle part execution unit 115 ends the battle part. ..

In step S10, the other part execution unit (not shown) executes another game part after the battle part is completed.

<Battle flow>
In the battle part executed by the battle part execution unit 115 in the present embodiment, a turn system is adopted as an example, and a quiz element is included in the attack chance of the ally character. One turn includes at least one attack chance of a friendly character and zero or one attack chance of an enemy character. The enemy character does not always attack every turn, and may attack once every two turns, for example.

The quiz elements executed by the battle part execution unit 115 are as follows, as an example. In one turn, one quiz is asked at the attack chance of the ally character. When the user answers the quiz correctly, the ally character is made to perform an attack action. As a result, the party can damage enemy characters that turn. If the user cannot answer the quiz correctly, the battle part execution unit 115 does not allow the ally character to perform the attack action. As a result, the party cannot damage enemy characters that turn. In order to win the battle, the user is required to answer as many correct answers as possible to the quiz given each turn.

As described above, each character has a plurality of types of parameters associated with it. In this embodiment, as an example, the parameters referred to in the battle part are as follows.

The "attribute" is a parameter indicating the nature of the character, and in the present embodiment, one of three attributes of fire, lightning, and water is set as an example. The attribute may also be set for the enemy character. Each attribute may have an advantageous attribute and an unfavorable attribute set to each other. For example, fire may be set in favor of lightning, lightning in favor of water, and water in favor of fire. More specifically, during battle, it is conceivable that a character with a fire attribute can inflict more damage than usual on an enemy character with a lightning attribute. In addition, it is conceivable that friendly characters of the same attribute give each other an advantageous interaction in battle during battle. In addition, attributes may be set in the quiz to be given. In this case, the battle part execution unit 115 may control so that only the character having the same attribute as the attribute set in the correct answer quiz can perform the attack operation.

"Physical strength" is a parameter indicating the physical strength of the character, and is represented by a numerical value, for example. The value is reduced by being attacked by an enemy character during battle, and when the physical strength becomes 0, that character becomes incapable of fighting. The physical strength is also set for the enemy character, and the battle can be won by setting the physical strength of all the enemy characters to 0 by the attack of the ally character.

"Attack power" is a parameter indicating the power to damage an enemy character, and is represented by a numerical value, for example. The higher the number, the stronger the damage. In the present embodiment, the attack power affects the attack normally performed by the character at the attack chance and the special attack (hereinafter referred to as “special attack”) performed by the character by activating the skill described later when the conditions are satisfied.

The "basic skill" is a parameter indicating a technique that each character can activate based on a predetermined condition. In the present embodiment, as an example, all characters are given unique basic skills, and the conditions under which these basic skills can be activated are common to all characters.

In this embodiment, as an example, each character has two types of basic skills depending on the activation condition. The first is quick answer skills. The quick answer skill is a skill that can be activated when the user can answer correctly within a predetermined time after the above-mentioned quiz is given. In the present embodiment, the quick answer skill is based on the user answering the quiz correctly within a predetermined time.
It is automatically activated when each character performs an attack action. Specific examples of the quick answer skill include a skill that temporarily increases the attack power of the attack carried out in that turn, and a skill that restores the physical strength of an ally character.

The second is the continuous answer skill. The continuous answer skill is a skill that can be activated when the correct answer can be answered consecutively over multiple turns. In the present embodiment, when the user answers the quiz correctly a predetermined number of times in a row, the continuous answer skill is manually activated according to the user's operation at the start of the turn after the next turn. The continuous answer skill includes a skill to change the attribute of the quiz given in that turn, or a skill to make a special attack on a single enemy character or the whole, in addition to the normal attack that can be carried out by the correct answer of the quiz.

The "additional skill" is a parameter indicating a technique that a special character given a specific rank can activate based on a predetermined condition. That is, the special character has a unique additional skill in addition to the basic skill. In this embodiment, at least the requirement for the arrangement of each character in the party is included as a condition for activating the additional skill. That is, when the special character and other ally characters are arranged based on a specific positional relationship in the deck, the condition for activating the additional skill is satisfied, and the special character can activate the additional skill. In this embodiment, the rank of each character is set as the rarity described later.

In the present embodiment, the special character "resonates" with the other ally character in the action of activating the additional skill when the special character (first character) satisfies the activation condition of the other ally character (second character). (Interlocking) ”. In the following, additional skills will be referred to as resonance skills (skills, additional skills). Further, the above-mentioned other ally character that triggers resonance is referred to as a resonance trigger (second character), and a special character that activates the resonance skill by the resonance trigger is referred to as a resonance launcher (first character). In addition, the activation condition of the resonance skill is referred to as a resonance condition (predetermined activation condition). In this embodiment, the resonance condition is set for each resonance skill. The requirements for arranging the resonance launcher and resonance trigger in the deck to enable the activation of additional skills will be described in detail later.

<About the deck formation part>
In the deck organization part, the deck processing unit 114 executes a process of organizing a deck based on the deck information 121 and the card information DB 122 stored in the storage unit 120.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a data structure of party information (deck information in this embodiment). As shown in FIG. 4, in the present embodiment, deck information 121 is adopted as party information as an example. As an example, the deck information 121 has a 1 × 5 arrangement, that is, five frames. In the present embodiment, the five frames are referred to as a first frame, a second frame, a third frame, a fourth frame, and a fifth frame in order from the left. When a character is selected by the user's operation and a frame for arranging the character is selected, the card information of the selected character is associated with the selected frame. That is, the character's card is placed in the frame of the deck. Note that cards made of materials such as reinforcement materials or evolution materials cannot participate in battles, so they do not have to be organized in the deck. In the following, the character card information will be referred to as character information in order to distinguish it from the substance card information.

In this embodiment, the resonance condition includes at least a requirement relating to the arrangement of decks. In order for the resonance condition to be satisfied, at least, the resonance trigger (second character) needs to be arranged at a predetermined position from the position where the resonance launcher (first character) is arranged in the deck. For example, the deck processing unit 114 can determine that the requirement relating to the arrangement among the resonance conditions is satisfied when the resonance trigger is arranged in the frame next to the frame in which the resonance launcher is arranged. More specifically, when the resonance launchers are arranged in the third frame, the above-mentioned requirements are satisfied by arranging the resonance triggers in the second frame or the fourth frame.

The deck information is not limited to the deck information 121 having an array of 1 × N. For example, as deck information, deck information 121a having an array of N × 1 may be adopted. Alternatively, deck information 121b having an N × M arrangement may be adopted. Alternatively, the deck information may have a multidimensional array such as N × M × L. Furthermore, the deck information is not limited to an arrangement that merely has the meaning of the order. The deck information may have an array such as avant-garde and rearguard, in which the position of the character has a physical meaning in battle as a formation or formation, as in the deck information 121b.

Further, a specific function may be associated with a specific frame included in the deck information. For example, the function of the "leader" may be associated with the first frame. In this case, the characters arranged in the frame of the "leader" may function as a "leader" in various game parts and may have some influence on the ally characters as the game part progresses.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the data structure of the card information DB. As shown in FIG. 5, in the card information DB 122, the card information of each card is registered for all the cards owned by the user. A plurality of parameters are given to each character or material that looks like a card. In addition to the combat parameters described above, in this embodiment, "character ID", "character name", "rareness", "type", "level", etc. are further assigned to each character as parameters. You may.

The "card ID" is identification information given to each card. In this embodiment, it is permissible to have a plurality of cards of the same character (or material) in duplicate. Even in such a case, the identification information is given so that each card can be identified.

"Card name" indicates the name of the entity (character or material) that is supposed to be on the card.

"Rarity" is information that ranks the rare value of a card. In general, the higher the scarcity value of a card, the higher the ability of the character on that card. In the present embodiment, the rarity of "L", "SS", "S", "A", "B", and "C" are set in order from the rank with the highest rarity value. Further, in the present embodiment, the "X" rank, which means the same rare value as the "L" having the highest rarity, is set separately from the "L" rank. The rarity "X" is given to the special character having the above-mentioned resonance skill, and is distinguished from other characters having no resonance skill by this "X" rank.

The rarity is, for example, the difficulty of obtaining the card, more specifically, the winning probability in the lottery where the card is won, the difficulty of the task when it is obtained as a task clear reward, or the price when it is obtained for a fee. It is decided based on such things.

By evolving the character with an evolution material or the like, the rarity of the character may be increased and the ability of the character may be enhanced.

The "type" is a parameter indicating the profession of the character or the use of the material (evolution, enhancement, sale or exchange, etc.).

The "level" is a parameter indicating the degree of enhancement of the character. The higher the level, the more "
Increases "physical strength" and "attack power". By strengthening the character with a strengthening material or the like, the level of the character may be raised and the ability of the character may be enhanced.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a specific example of a game screen displaying character information. In the game screen, for example, in the deck organization screen shown in FIG. 8, the display control unit 112 displays the display unit in response to an operation (tap operation, etc.) for the user to select a card of one character. Display on 152.

As shown in FIG. 6, on the game screen displaying the character information, for example, the character image 601, the attribute 602, the rarity 603, the level 604, the type 605, the character name 606, the physical strength 607, the attack power 608, and the quick answer skill 609. And the continuous answer skill 610 may be displayed. If the character is a resonance launcher with a rarity of X, the resonance skill 611 may also be displayed. The quick answer skill 609 and the continuous answer skill 610 include a skill name of the skill and a description of the content of the skill. The resonance skill 611 includes a resonance condition and an explanation of the action when the resonance skill is activated.

By displaying the above-mentioned game screen, the user can confirm various parameters for one character in a list. For example, the user can confirm the content of the resonance skill and the resonance condition based on the resonance skill 611, and can strategically enjoy the deck formation in consideration of them.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a more detailed processing flow in the deck organization processing. 8 to 11 are diagrams showing a specific example of a game screen (deck organization screen) displayed on the display unit during the deck organization process.

In step S21, the display control unit 112 displays the deck organization screen (for example, FIG. 8) on the display unit 152 according to the instruction to the deck processing unit 114 that executes the deck organization process. The deck organization screen includes at least a deck 701 and a copy character list 702 that lists the copy characters that are candidates for inclusion in the party.

In step S22, the operation receiving unit 111 receives a user's operation for arranging the characters on the deck. The operation is realized by, for example, a drag-and-drop operation in which a card of one character displayed in the copy character list 702 is dragged and dropped on the frame to be arranged on the deck 701.

In step S23, the deck processing unit 114 arranges the cards of the characters selected by the operation in the frame of the drop destination. For example, the character information of the character 703 is associated with the third frame M3 of the deck information 121.

If NO in step S24, the deck processing unit 114 then determines whether or not the rarity of the characters arranged in step S23 is "X". For example, if the deck processing unit 114 determines in step S23 that the resonance condition is not satisfied even if the characters 703 are arranged in the third frame M3, the deck processing unit 114 determines whether or not the character 703 is a resonance launcher having resonance skill. to decide.

If YES in step S25, in step S26, the deck processing unit 114 identifies a deck frame that matches the resonance conditions of the arranged resonance launchers. Specifically, when the character 703 is a resonance launcher having a rarity X, the deck processing unit 114 reads the parameter “resonance condition” associated with the character 703 from the card information DB 122. Then, based on the requirements of the arrangement included in the resonance condition, for example, the character 703
Both sides of the third frame M3 in which are arranged, that is, the second frame M2 and the fourth frame M4 are specified.

In step S27, the UI control unit 113 controls the UI object so as to highlight the frame specified in step S26. The display control unit 112 highlights the specified frame according to the control of the UI control unit 113. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the UI control unit 113 attaches an emphasis frame 704 indicating that the second frame M2 and the fourth frame M4 are at positions satisfying the resonance condition to the display unit 152 via the display control unit 112. Display. For example, the UI control unit 113 may give an animation to the emphasis frame 704 such that an object such as a shooting star circulates on the outer periphery of the second frame M2 and the fourth frame M4 with light. .. As a result, the user can recognize at a glance where to arrange the resonance trigger in order to activate the resonance skill of the resonance launcher (character 703).

In step S28, the deck processing unit 114 refers to the card information DB 122 to identify a resonance trigger having parameters that match the resonance conditions of the arranged resonance launchers. For example, when the resonance condition of the character 703 is "when the resonance trigger activates the special attack skill", the deck processing unit 114 extracts the character having the basic skill related to the special attack from the card information DB 122. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the "dragon" of the card ID "0002-01"
Is extracted. Alternatively, when the resonance condition of the character 703 is "when resonance triggers of the same attribute are arranged next to each other", the deck processing unit 114 extracts a character having the same attribute as the character 703 from the card information DB 122.

In step S29, the UI control unit 113 adds the emphasis frame 705 to the resonance trigger card specified in step S28 among the cards of each character displayed in the copy character list 702. As a result, the user can recognize at a glance which resonance trigger should be arranged next to each other in order to activate the resonance skill of the resonance launcher (character 703).

On the other hand, in the case of NO in step S25, that is, when other characters whose rarity is not "X" are arranged in the deck, in step S30, the deck processing unit 114 is arranged with reference to the card information DB 122. You may specify a resonance launcher with resonance conditions in which the character can be a resonance trigger. For example, in the deck organization screen shown in FIG. 9, when the characters 706 are arranged in the first frame M1, the resonance skill can be activated by placing the characters 706 next to each other, that is, by arranging the resonance launchers in the second frame M2. Resonance launcher is extracted from the card information DB 122.

In step S31, the UI control unit 113 may add the emphasis frame 707 to the card of the resonance launcher specified in step S30 among the cards of each character displayed in the copy character list 702. As a result, the user can recognize at a glance which resonance launcher can activate the resonance skill by satisfying the resonance condition of the resonance trigger (character 706). Then, returning to step S22, when the user selects the highlighted resonance launcher, the deck processing unit 114 determines the resonance condition of the selected resonance launcher and the position of the resonance trigger (character 706) already arranged. Based on the above, the arrangement position (frame) of the resonance launcher for satisfying the resonance condition may be specified. Then, while the drag operation is continued, the UI control unit 113 may display the emphasis frame 708 for emphasizing the specified frame.

After going through steps S26 to S29, the control unit 110 returns to the front of step S22 and waits for the user's operation to be input.

Here, for example, the user selects a resonance trigger satisfying the condition from the reserved character list 702 while being assisted by the highlighting shown in FIG. 8, and performs a drag-and-drop operation on the resonable frame of the deck 701. Suppose you did. In this case, in step S23, the deck processing unit 114 arranges the selected resonance trigger in the frame next to the character 703 according to the operation.

If YES in step S24, that is, if the resonance condition is satisfied by the arrangement performed in step S23, the UI control unit 113 indicates that the resonance condition of the arranged resonance launcher is satisfied in step S32. The indicated object may be displayed around the card of the resonance launcher. The above-mentioned object may be an aura 709, for example, as shown in FIG. Further, the UI control unit 113 may add an animation to the aura 709 so that the aura 709 becomes more conspicuous. Further, the UI control unit 113 arranges the aura 709 not only in the third frame in which the resonance launcher (character 703) is arranged, but also in the second frame in which the character 710 as the resonance trigger that triggers the resonance is arranged. It may be displayed so that it also takes. As a result, the user can grasp at a glance which resonance trigger and which resonance launcher satisfy the resonance condition.

As shown in FIG. 11, when a resonance trigger (character 711) satisfying the condition is further arranged next to the other side (fourth frame M4) of the resonance launcher (character 703), that is, after step S32. If YES in step S24, the UI control unit 113 may display the aura 712 in the vicinity of the third frame M3. At this time, the UI control unit 113 may make the display mode (for example, color) of the aura 712 different from that of the aura 709. Further, the UI control unit 113 may display the aura 712 not only on the third frame M3 but also on the fourth frame M4 in which the resonance trigger (character 711) is arranged. As a result, even if the resonance condition is satisfied with a plurality of resonance triggers for one resonance launcher, the user can see at a glance which resonance trigger each resonance launcher satisfies the resonance condition with. It can be grasped with.

The deck processing unit 114 executes the above-mentioned series of deck formation processes, and continues until, for example, the user taps the decision button 713 to confirm the deck formation.

<About the battle part-Details of resonance skill activation>
In the present embodiment, the resonance condition includes the requirement of the parameter given to each character. The parameters include static parameters that are set before the battle and are invariant during the battle, and dynamic parameters that are variable during the course of the battle. Therefore, the resonance conditions may include requirements for the character's static parameters, as well as requirements for the character's in-combat state, in addition to the deck array requirements. The state is specified based on dynamic parameters during the character's battle or actions performed by the character during the battle.

In the present embodiment, as an example of the requirement based on the static parameters of the character, there may be a requirement that the special characters of the "X" rank do not resonate with each other. That is, the battle part execution unit 115 may be configured so that the special character having the rarity "X" having the resonance skill does not function as a resonance trigger for activating the resonance skill of another special character. That is, the battle part execution unit 115 determines that even if another special character is arranged from the position of a certain special character to a predetermined position, the other special character does not satisfy the resonance condition of the above-mentioned special character. do. According to this configuration, it is possible to prevent the user from falling into a one-sided arrangement in which only special characters of the "X" rank are organized in the deck. According to the configuration, even if the character has a different rank (extremely weak rank), by considering the arrangement with the special character of the "X" rank, the formation that can obtain a very advantageous effect in the battle can be obtained. It can be provided to the user. As a result, the user can incorporate characters of various ranks to devise an arrangement, and the deck formation part can be further enjoyed.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a detailed processing flow in the battle part. The battle part execution unit 115 executes a series of processes shown in steps S7 and S8 of FIG. 3 (hereinafter, resonance skill activation process) at any timing of the battle part according to the resonance condition. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, the battle part execution unit 115 executes the resonance skill activation process after step S41 (step S42), after step S46, after step S49, after step S53, and the like. You may. In the following, specific examples of resonance skills executed at each timing will be explained together with the processing flow of the battle part. 13 and 14 are diagrams showing a specific example of the game screen displayed when the battle part is executed. These drawings are also referred to.

In step S41, the battle part execution unit 115 starts the battle part. Specifically, the battle part execution unit 115 displays, for example, the battle screen shown in FIG. 13 on the display unit 152 via the display control unit 112. As shown in FIG. 13, the battle screen includes enemy character information 801 and ally character information 802, and a genre panel 803. The enemy character information 801 may be an image of a card that looks like an enemy character. The ally character information 802 corresponds to the information of the deck 701 confirmed on the deck organization screen shown in FIG. 8 or the like. The genre panel 803 displays genres and attributes for each quiz. In this embodiment, the user can select one quiz to be given in one turn from the four quizzes displayed on the genre panel 803. The user may select a favorite quiz based on the attributes of the enemy character, the attributes of the ally character, and the genre that he is good at.

In step S42, the battle part execution unit 115 may determine whether or not the resonance condition is satisfied, and if the resonance condition is satisfied, activate the resonance skill in the resonance launcher. For example, it is assumed that the resonance condition includes an array requirement and a static parameter requirement of the resonance trigger. In this case, if the battle part execution unit 115 determines that the resonance triggers having the static parameters matching the resonance conditions are arranged at a predetermined position from the position of the resonance launcher on the deck, the battle is started at this timing. Then, the resonance skill of the resonance launcher may be activated. As an example of the resonance skill activated here, for example, an effect of strengthening the basic skill of an ally character of the same attribute, specifically, an effect of enhancing the performance or effect of the continuous answer skill or the quick answer skill. What is born is conceivable. Alternatively, as an example of other resonance skills, those that produce the effect of relaxing the activation conditions of the basic skill can be considered. For example, it is possible to reduce the number of consecutive correct answers, which is the condition for activating the continuous answer skill, or extend the predetermined time, which is the condition for activating the quick answer skill, to make it easier to activate the basic skill.

If YES in step S43, that is, if the operation reception unit 111 accepts an operation for selecting an attack opponent by the user, the battle part execution unit 115 will perform which ally character according to the operation in step S44. May decide which enemy character to attack.

If YES in step S45, that is, if the operation reception unit 111 receives an operation for activating the continuous answer skill by the user, the battle part execution unit 115 is selected in step S46 according to the operation. You may activate the continuous answer skill of your ally character.

After step S46, the battle part execution unit 115 may execute the resonance skill activation process of step S42. For example, it is assumed that the resonance condition includes an array requirement and a resonance trigger state requirement. In this case, if the battle part execution unit 115 determines that the resonance triggers arranged at a predetermined position from the position of the resonance launcher on the deck have moved to a predetermined state that matches the resonance condition, the predetermined timing (for example, for example). The resonance skill of the resonance launcher may be activated when the resonance trigger shifts to the state. For example, it is conceivable that the resonance trigger activates a predetermined continuous answer skill, and then the resonance launcher activates the resonance skill that gives a special attack to the enemy character in resonance with it. Alternatively, a resonance skill may be activated that changes the content (attribute or genre of the quiz) of the genre panel 803 shown in FIG. 13 to the content desired by the user.

If YES in step S47, that is, if the operation reception unit 111 accepts the operation of selecting the genre panel by the user, the battle part execution unit 115 starts the progress of the quiz element in step S48. First, ask the quiz associated with the selected genre panel. While the genre panel selection operation is not accepted (NO in step S47), the process returns to step S43 and maintains the state of waiting for the operation by any of the above-mentioned users.

In step S49, as in steps S45 and S46, the battle part execution unit 115 may execute a process of activating the continuous answer skill. As the continuous answer skill that is activated after the quiz is given, for example, when the quiz is a four-choice question, a skill that supports the user's correct answer, such as cutting one option, is assumed.

After step S49, the battle part execution unit 115 may execute the resonance skill activation process of step S42. For example, after the resonance trigger activates a predetermined continuous answer skill, the resonance launcher may activate the resonance skill that further reduces the options to further support the user's correct answer. Alternatively, it is conceivable to further support the user's correct answer by extending the time limit for answering. Alternatively, it is conceivable to present a quiz hint to increase the correct answer rate of the user.

If YES in step S50, YES in step S51, and YES in step S52, that is, if the user answers the quiz correctly within a predetermined time from the start of the question, the battle part execution unit 115 will perform step S53. In, activate the quick answer skill of the ally character with the same attribute as the attribute of the quiz that answered correctly. Subsequently, in step S54, the ally character is made to carry out a normal attack on the enemy character.

After step S53 or S54, the battle part execution unit 115 may execute the resonance skill activation process of step S42. For example, after multiple resonance triggers activate their respective predetermined quick answer skills to attack, the resonance launcher activates a resonance skill that gives a special attack to the enemy character according to the number of resonance triggers that resonate. Can be considered.

If NO in step S52, that is, if the correct answer is not input within a predetermined time, the battle part execution unit 115 causes the ally character to carry out a normal attack without activating the quick answer skill.

If YES in step S55, that is, if the attack in step S54 can take away the total power of all enemy characters, the battle part execution unit 115 proceeds as if the party won the battle in step S56. End the battle part you were doing.

If NO in step S55, that is, if the enemy character survives, the battle part execution unit 115 advances the attack turn of the enemy character in step S57.

If NO in step S51, that is, if the answer is input within the time limit, but the answer is not correct, the battle part execution unit 115 does not cause the ally character to attack, and step S57. Move to the processing of. That is, the enemy character is made to attack the ally character.
