4. 4. Method of this Embodiment 4.1 Overview As shown in FIG. 5A, the terminal of this embodiment uses a virtual camera to display a virtual three-dimensional object space in which player objects P1 to P4, enemy objects Q1 and Q2, and a map MP are arranged. An image viewed from above is generated and displayed on the touch panel 12 (display unit 190). While looking at the display unit 190, the player touches and inputs the touch panel 12 to operate the movement and motion of the player object, and enjoys the game in which the player fights against the enemy object.

In addition, in the present embodiment, operation indicators A, B, C, and I are displayed on the touch panel 12 as shown in FIG. 5A. The player can input a command for a special attack (technical attack) by performing a contact input in the detection area ga corresponding to the operation indicator A. FIG. Also, the player can input a normal attack command by performing a touch input in the detection area gb corresponding to the operation indicator B. FIG. Also, the player can input a defense command by performing a contact input in the detection area gc corresponding to the operation indicator C. FIG. Further, the player can input an attack command for a deathblow attack by performing a contact input in the detection area gi corresponding to the operation indicator I. FIG.

Also, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5B, the player can move the player object on the map MP (X and Z directions) by performing a slide input in the detection area gf.

Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5B, the player can select any one of the player objects P1 to P4 to be operated by performing a flick input in the detection area gg.

By the way, conventional terminals are often provided with operation buttons, and by continuously pressing these operation buttons, the player object is caused to continuously attack the enemy. was made. For example, after performing a continuous hit operation to perform a normal attack three times, a special attack can be performed to cause great damage to the enemy object.

However, when contact input is performed on the touch panel and the player object continuously attacks the enemy, it is difficult to perform contact input such as continuous touch (tap), and the player may make mistakes. There was a risk of typing. For example, even if the player intends to touch the operation indicator B three times, some of the touches may end up being touches on the operation indicator A.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when a contact input is detected, the elapsed time from the time when the contact input is detected and the contact input is continuously detected is counted, and it is determined that the elapsed time has passed the determination period. (when it is determined as a so-called "long press"), the number of inputs to the operation indicator is counted according to the elapsed time while the contact input continues, and the command is accepted each time the number of inputs is counted. to control.

In this way, the player can continuously input commands by a simple contact input such as a long press on the touch panel. As a result, erroneous input by the player can be avoided and operability can be improved. This is because A detailed description will be given below.

4.2 Long Press Determination Process In this embodiment, a contact input is detected in the detection area corresponding to each operation indicator. In the present embodiment, when contact input is detected in the detection area of each operation indicator, the elapsed time (long-press period) during which the contact input is continuously detected from the start of contact input detection is set. clock.

Here, the time when the contact input detection is started means the time when the state in which the contact input is not detected changes to the state in which the contact input is detected within the same detection area.

Then, in the detection area of each operation indicator, a process for determining whether or not the elapsed time has passed the determination period is performed, and when it is determined that the elapsed time has passed the determination period, a long-press contact input is performed. It is determined that the

4.3 Processing for Counting the Number of Inputs Then, in the present embodiment, when a contact input is detected in the detection area of the operation indicator for each of the operation indicators A and B, the contact input is detected from the start of contact input detection. is continuously detected, and the number of inputs of the operation indicator is counted according to the elapsed time. That is, when it is determined that each of the operation indicators A and B is long pressed, the number of times of input is counted according to the period of the long press. The “number of times of input” is the number of command inputs received by the computer (receiving unit) when one long-press contact input is performed. For example, in reality, the player can input special attack commands a plurality of times according to the length of the long press by simply performing one long press on the operation indicator A. can.

4.3.1 Processing for Counting Number of Inputs of Operation Indicator A First, processing for counting the number of inputs based on long-press contact input of the operation indicator A according to the present embodiment will be described.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the contact input is detected in the detection area ga where the operation indicator A is displayed, the elapsed time from the contact input detection start time Tsa during which the contact input is continuously detected Time Txa.

Then, while the contact input continues, the number of inputs xa to the operation indicator A is counted in real time according to the elapsed time Txa. In other words, the player can continuously input special attack commands while the long-press contact input continues. For example, after the end of the long press, that is, when the player releases the finger or the like from the touch panel 12, the special attack command is accepted in the game progressing in real time, rather than when the special attack command is accepted. You can play games.

In this embodiment, 0 is set as the initial value of the number of inputs xa. That is, xa is set to 0 at the timing Tsa when the contact input is detected.

Note that the upper limit of the number of inputs xa is set to 4 in this embodiment. That is, the player can make the player object perform special attacks up to four times in succession.

(1) Counting process based on a predetermined cycle In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the elapsed time Txa during which the contact input is continuously detected from the time Tsa when the contact input detection of the operation indicator A is started is the determination period Td. is determined to be a long press, the number of times of input xa
to count. Note that counting means adding one.

For example, the number of inputs xa is counted at timing T1 after a predetermined period D has elapsed from the start of contact input detection Tsa. That is, the input count xa is updated to one.

Then, the number of inputs xa is counted at timing T2 after a predetermined period D has elapsed from timing T1. That is, the number of inputs xa is updated to two.

Then, the number of inputs xa is counted at timing T3 after a predetermined period D has elapsed from timing T2. That is, the number of inputs xa is updated to 3.

In this embodiment, the predetermined cycle D may be set according to at least one of the state of the player object to be operated, the level of the player object to be operated, and the game history.

For example, when a special state such as a slow state is set as the state of the player object to be operated, the predetermined cycle D may be controlled to be longer than the normal state. Note that the normal state means a state that is not a special state. For example, the predetermined period D is set to 0.5 seconds in a normal state, and set to 1 second in a special state. That is, in this embodiment, when the player object is damaged by the special attack of the enemy object, the movement of the player object is controlled to be in a slow state to slow down the movement of the player object, thereby creating a disadvantageous situation for the player. I have something to do. In this embodiment, the predetermined period D is lengthened in the slow state, and when commands are input continuously, the player must press and hold the button for a long period of time. is doing.

Alternatively, the predetermined period D may be controlled to be shortened as the level of the player object to be operated increases. This is because an increase in the player's level is considered to indicate that the player has become accustomed to inputting commands by long-pressing. In other words, in this embodiment, the predetermined period D is shortened as the level of the player object increases, thereby improving operability.

For example, when the level of the player object to be operated is 1 to 10, the predetermined period D is set to 0.5 seconds, and when the level of the player object is 11 to 20, the predetermined period D is set to 0.5 seconds. Set to 4 seconds. That is, as the level of the player object increases, the period of the predetermined cycle D is controlled to decrease.

Also, the predetermined period D may be set according to the game history of the player. The game history includes game play time, win/loss results, and the like. For example, the predetermined period D may be controlled to be shortened as the game play time increases. This is because an increase in the game play time is considered to indicate that the user has become accustomed to inputting commands by long-pressing. That is, in this embodiment, the predetermined period D is shortened as the game play time increases, thereby improving the operability.

For example, if the player's game play time is less than 10 hours, the predetermined period D is set to 0.5 seconds, and if the player's game play time is 10 hours or more and less than 20 hours, the predetermined period D is set. It may be set to 0.4 seconds. That is, as the game play time of the player increases, the period of the predetermined cycle D is controlled to decrease.

(2) Counting process based on a predetermined period In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the elapsed time Txa during which the contact input is continuously detected from the time Tsa when the contact input detection of the operation indicator A is started is the determination period Td. is determined to be a long press, the elapsed time Txa passes a predetermined period associated with the type of command to receive the next input from the time Tsa at the start of contact input detection or the point counted immediately before , the number of inputs xa may be counted.

Here, the type of command is the characteristic of the command, and in this embodiment, about 10 types of commands are prepared for the operation indicator A. FIG. Note that the types of commands may increase as the game progresses.

For example, different types of commands mean different attack power, defense power, motion data, and the like. In addition, some types of commands can be controlled to nullify attacks received from enemy objects (set the attack power of enemy objects to 0).

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, a predetermined period E is set in association with the command type. For example, the predetermined period E1 associated with the command Cm1 is 0.4 seconds, the predetermined period E2 associated with the command Cm2 is 0.5 seconds, and the predetermined period E3 associated with the command Cm3 is 1 second. For example, a command type with a long motion reproduction period is controlled to have a longer predetermined period than a command type with a short motion reproduction period. Further, the command type with high attack power is controlled to have a longer predetermined period than the command type with low attack power.

Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the type of command is set in advance in association with the number of inputs xa. In this embodiment, the number of inputs xa is counted by referring to the type of command associated with the value of the number of inputs xa to be counted next, and referring to the predetermined period associated with the type of command. .

For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when the elapsed time Txa during which the contact input is continuously detected from the contact input detection start time Tsa passes the determination period Td and it is determined that the long press is performed, the contact input detection start time Tsa The number of inputs xa is counted at timing T11 when the elapsed time Txa from command Cm1 (number of inputs xa=1) has passed a predetermined period E1 (for example, 0.4 seconds). That is, the input count xa is updated to one.

Then, the number of inputs xa is counted at timing T12 after a predetermined period E2 (for example, 0.5 seconds) associated with command Cm2 (number of inputs xa=2) has elapsed from timing T11 counted immediately before. That is, the number of inputs xa is updated to two.

Then, the number of inputs xa is counted at timing T13 after a predetermined period E3 (for example, 1 second) associated with command Cm3 (number of inputs xa=3) has elapsed from timing T12 counted immediately before. That is, the number of inputs xa is updated to 3.

In this embodiment, the predetermined period E may be set according to at least one of the state of the player object to be operated, the level of the player object to be operated, and the game history.

For example, when a special state such as a slow state is set as the state of the player object to be operated, the predetermined period E associated with the command type may be controlled to be longer than the normal state. good. For example, the predetermined period E1 associated with the command Cm1 may be set to 0.3 seconds in a normal state, and the predetermined period E1 associated with the command Cm1 may be set to 1 second in a special state. In this embodiment, the predetermined period E is lengthened in the slow state, and when commands are input continuously, the player must press and hold the button for a long period of time. is doing.

Further, as the level of the player object to be operated increases, the predetermined period E associated with the command type may be shortened. This is because an increase in the player's level is considered to indicate that the player has become accustomed to inputting commands by long-pressing. That is, in this embodiment, the predetermined period E is shortened as the level of the player object increases, thereby improving the operability.

For example, when the level of the player object to be operated is 1 to 10, the predetermined period E1 associated with the command Cm1 is set to 0.5 seconds, and the level of the player object to be operated is 11 to 20. In this case, the predetermined period E1 associated with the command Cm1 is set to 0.4 seconds. That is, as the level of the player object to be operated increases, the period of the predetermined period E1 associated with the command Cm1 is controlled to decrease.

Also, the predetermined period E associated with the command type may be set according to the game history of the player. For example, the predetermined period E1 associated with the command Cm1 may be shortened as the game play time increases. This is because an increase in the game play time is considered to indicate that the user has become accustomed to inputting commands by long-pressing. That is, in this embodiment, the predetermined period E is shortened as the game play time increases, thereby improving the operability.

For example, when the player's game play time is less than 10 hours, the predetermined period E1 associated with the command Cm1 is set to 0.5 seconds, and when the player's game play time is 10 hours or more and less than 20 hours. , the predetermined period E1 associated with the command Cm1 is set to 0.4 seconds. In other words, as the game play time of the player increases, the period of the predetermined period E1 associated with the command Cm1 is controlled to decrease.

4.3.2 Processing for Counting the Number of Inputs of Operation Indicator B In the present embodiment, similarly to operation indicator A, long press determination is performed on operation indicator B, and it is determined that a long press has been made. In this case, the number of times of input to the operation indicator B is counted.

For example, when a contact input is detected in the detection area gb where the operation indicator B is displayed, as shown in FIG. Time Txb.

Then, while the contact input continues, the number of inputs xb to the operation indicator B is counted in real time according to the elapsed time Txb. In other words, the player can continuously input normal attack commands while the long-press contact input continues.

In this embodiment, 0 is set as the initial value of the number of inputs xb. That is, xb is set to 0 at the timing Tsb at which the touch input is detected.

In particular, in this embodiment, the counting process based on the predetermined period D is performed for the operation indicator B. FIG.

For example, the number of inputs xb is counted at a timing T21 after a predetermined period D has elapsed from the touch input detection start time Tsb. That is, the number of inputs xb is updated to 1.

Then, at timing T22 after a predetermined period D has elapsed from timing T21, the number of inputs x
count b. That is, the number of inputs xb is updated to two.

Then, at timing T23 after a predetermined period D has elapsed from timing T22, the number of inputs xb is counted. That is, the number of inputs xb is updated to 3.

Note that the upper limit of the number of inputs xb is set to 3 in this embodiment. That is, the player can make the player object perform normal attacks up to three times in succession.

4.4 Command Receiving Process In this embodiment, when the number of inputs xa of the operation indicator A is counted, the process of accepting the command of the operation indicator A is performed at the timing when the number of inputs xa is counted.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the number of inputs xa is counted in a predetermined period D, a special attack command of the operation indicator A is accepted at timings T1, T2, and T3 when the number of inputs xa is counted. In particular, in the case of the operation indicator A, a plurality of types of special attacks are prepared. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, a command of a type associated with the value of the number of inputs xa is accepted. That is, at timing T1 when the number of inputs xa is counted, the command Cm1 associated with the number of inputs xa of "1" is received, and at timing T2 when the number of inputs xa is counted, the number of inputs xa is "2". Then, at timing T3 when the number of inputs xa is counted, the command Cm3 associated with the number of inputs xa of "3" is received.

Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, when the number of inputs xa is counted in a predetermined period E, the special attack command of the operation indicator A is issued at timings T11, T12, and T13 when the number of inputs xa is counted. accept. That is, at timing T11 when the number of inputs xa is counted, the command Cm1 associated with the number of inputs xa of "1" is accepted, and at timing T12 when the number of inputs xa is counted, the number of inputs xa is "2". Then, at timing T13 when the number of inputs xa is counted, the command Cm3 associated with the number of inputs xa of "3" is received.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the number of inputs xb of the operation indicator B is counted, the process of accepting the command of the operation indicator B is performed at the timing when the number of inputs xb is counted.

For example, as shown in FIG. 10, when the number of inputs xb is counted in a predetermined cycle D, the normal attack command Cmb of the operation indicator B is accepted at timings T21, T22, and T23 when the number of inputs xb is counted. . In this embodiment, one type of normal attack command is used, but a plurality of different types of normal attack commands may be accepted.

4.5 Processing for Executing Commands In this embodiment, game processing is performed based on the received commands. In other words, the process of executing the received command is performed.

(1) Execution of a command input to operation indicator A In the present embodiment, when a contact input to operation indicator A is received, the player object moves and performs a "special attack" on the enemy object. (motion) processing.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the command Cm1 is accepted at timing T1, the first operation m1 is performed from the same timing Tm1 as timing T1. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, when the command Cm1 is accepted at the timing T11, the first operation m1 is performed from the same timing Tm11 as the timing T11.

This first action m1 is an action for the player object to perform a command Cm1 special attack on the enemy object (for example, the player object P jumps and slashes the enemy object T with a sword).

Special attacks do more damage than normal attacks. For example, a special attack can deal 10 to 20 times more damage to the enemy object T than a normal attack.

When the player performs a contact input by pressing and holding the operation indicator A, the "special attack" action is continuously performed.

That is, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, when three inputs are received for the operation indicator A, the command Cm1 associated with the first input (xa=1) is executed. perform the first action m1 of the "special attack" of command Cm2 associated with the second input count (xa=2), and then , and then performs the third action m3 of the "special attack" of the command Cm3 associated with the third input count (xa=3).

That is, in this embodiment, the player object performs a plurality of actions including the first action m1, the second action m2, . . . continuous action processing for calculating at least one of the movement and action of the player object and the enemy object in the continuous action.

A continuous action can be realized by moving the player object according to motion data defined corresponding to each action constituting the continuous data.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6, it is assumed that a first motion m1, which is the first motion of the continuous motion, starts (displays) from Tm1 at the same time as time T1. Tm1 to Tm3 are periods during which the first operation m1 is performed, and the second operation m2 is performed for a given period from Tm2. Here, the period from Tm2 to Tm3 is a shift period sf for shifting from the first operation m1 to the second operation m2. For example, during the shift period indicated by sf, the orientation at Tm2 of the first action m1 (rotation of each joint of the player object, etc.) smoothly shifts from the orientation at Tm3 of the second action m2 (rotation of each joint of the player object, etc.). Motion interpolation is performed to transition to .

As described above, in the present embodiment, when commands are continuously received by long-pressing, control is performed so that the N+1th operation is performed following the Nth operation.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the reception of the command for the operation indicator A is performed when the player object is performing the first action m1, and the second and third operations of the operation indicator A are received. It can accept commands. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the reception of the command for the operation indicator A is performed by accepting the second command of the operation indicator A while the player object is performing the first action m1, and the player object receives the second command. The third command of the operation indicator A can be accepted while performing the operation m2 of 2. In other words, it is possible to input the commands of the operation indicator A in advance, thereby providing an easy-to-use operation environment for the player.

(2) Execution of a command input to operation indicator B In this embodiment, when a contact input to operation indicator B is received, the player object moves and performs a "normal attack" on the enemy object. (motion) processing.

For example, as shown in FIG. 10, when command Cmb is accepted at timing T21, the first operation m1b is performed from timing Tm21, which is the same as timing T21.

This first action m1b is an action for the player object to perform a normal attack on the enemy object (for example, the player object swings down the enemy object with a sword to cut it). Then, in the "normal attack", the player object deals damage of, for example, "10" to the enemy object (that is, the process of subtracting the attack power "10" from the physical strength value (HP value) of the enemy object T is performed). .

Then, when the player performs a contact input by long-pressing the operation indicator B, the action of "normal attack" is continuously performed.

That is, in the present embodiment, when the number of times of input to the operation indicator B is three times, the "normal attack" is performed three times.

For example, when performing three normal attacks, the player object swings down the sword at the enemy object in the first action m1b, thrusts the sword toward the enemy in the second action m2b, and sweeps the sword sideways. The third operation m3b is continuously performed.

Note that the normal attack continuous motion processing can be realized by causing the player object to move in accordance with the motion data defined corresponding to each motion constituting the continuous data, similarly to the special attack.

In addition, in the present embodiment, even during a normal attack, the command of the operation indicator B can be input in advance while the player object is performing the first action m1b or the like. offers.

4.6 Setting Commands In this embodiment, one of a plurality of types of commands is set in advance for each number of inputs based on the player's input information in association with the number of inputs.

For example, as shown in FIG. 9, based on the input information of the player, the type of command (for example, command Cm1) to be accepted when the number of inputs to the operation indicator A is one (xa=1) in advance, the input The type of command accepted when the number of inputs is 2 (xa=2) (for example, command Cm2), the type of command accepted when the number of inputs is 3 (xa=3) (for example, command Cm3), and the number of inputs It is possible to set the type of command (for example, command Cm4) to be accepted in the case of one time (xa=4).

In this way, the player can determine in advance the types of commands to be executed by successive inputs, and can strategically play the game.

4.7 Coordination Processing In this embodiment, a coordinated (continuous) attack can be performed by connecting a normal attack to a special attack without being counterattacked by an enemy object. That is, in the cooperative attack, the operation of the normal attack and the operation of the special attack are continuously performed without interruption.

(1) Coordination Determination Processing In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, it is determined that cooperation will be performed when contact input from operation indicator A is detected immediately after contact input from operation indicator B is detected. . For example, when the number of inputs xa of the operation indicator A is counted within a specific period K from time T33 when the number of inputs xb of the operation indicator B was finally counted, the normal attack of the operation indicator B and the operation indicator It is determined that the combination of A's special attack is performed. The specific period K may be, for example, 1 second.

That is, in the example of FIG. 11, since the number of inputs xa of the operation indicator A was counted (updated to xa=1) at the timing T34 within the specific period K, the normal attack of the operation indicator B and the operation indicator It is determined that the combination of A's special attack is performed.

In the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the period from the timing Teb at which the continuous contact input by the operation indicator B ends to the timing Tsa at which the contact input by the operation indicator A is detected is within a specific period. When the period from Teb to timing Tsa is the specific period, it may be determined that the normal attack of the operation indicator B and the special attack of the operation indicator A are to be coordinated.

(2) Description of processing for determining the type of command of operation indicator A In the present embodiment, when it is determined that cooperative processing is to be performed (for example, from time T33 when the number of inputs xb of operation indicator B is When the number of inputs xa of the operation indicator A is counted within the specific period K), the command of the operation indicator A of the type associated with the number of inputs xb of the operation indicator B is accepted.

By doing so, the types of commands that the player can input increase, and the game can be played strategically while enjoying the game.

FIG. 12 shows types of commands of the operation indicator A associated with the number of inputs xa of the operation indicator A at the time of counting and the number of inputs xb of the operation indicator B received immediately before.

For example, as shown in FIG. 11, when it is determined that the normal attack of operation indicator B and the special attack of operation indicator A are to be performed in cooperation, the value of the number of times xb of operation indicator B is 3 (xb=3 ), the input of the command Cm31 associated with xa=1 and xb=3 is accepted at the timing T34 at which the first (xa=1) command of the operation indicator A is accepted. Then, at the timing T36 at which the second (xa=2) command of the operation indicator A is accepted, the input of the command Cm32 associated with xa=2 and xb=3 is accepted.

Note that when it is determined to perform cooperative processing and the value of the number of inputs xb of the operation indicator B is 1 (xb=1), the number of inputs xa and the number of inputs xb at the time of counting are equal to 1. Based on, the type of the command of the operation indicator A at the time of counting is determined, and when the value of the number of inputs xb of the operation indicator B is 2 (xb=2), the number of inputs at the time of counting xa and Based on the number of inputs xb=2, the type of command of the operation indicator A at the time of counting is determined. If there is no cooperation processing, xb=0, and the type of command of the operation indicator A at the time of counting is determined based on the number of inputs xa at the time of counting and the number of times of input xb=0.

Note that in the present embodiment, the type of command of the operation indicator B is determined in advance in association with the number of inputs xb of the operation indicator B, and the type of command of the operation indicator B is associated with the number of inputs xb of the operation indicator B received immediately before. It is also possible to receive a command of the operation indicator A of a different type.

4.8 Notification Processing In the present embodiment, a progress situation in which contact input is continuously detected is notified while contact input continues.

(1) Display Control In the present embodiment, display control may be used to notify the progress in which the contact input is continuously detected in the detection area on the touch panel 12 corresponding to the operation indicator.

For example, the color around the operation indicator A displayed on the touch panel 12 (display unit 190) is changed at the timing when the number of inputs of the operation indicator A is counted. That is, the color of the operation indicator A is changed at the timing when the command of the operation indicator A is received. It should be noted that the "surroundings of the operation indicator A" is a range near the operation indicator A, and may be a range that can be visually recognized by the player.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, in the present embodiment, when the number of inputs xa=0, the color around the operation indicator A is displayed in the default color, and when the number of inputs xa=1, the operation indicator A is displayed in the default color. The color around the operation indicator A is displayed in red, the color around the operation indicator A is displayed in blue when the number of inputs xa=2, and the color around the operation indicator A is displayed in the case of the number of inputs xa=3. The color is displayed in yellow, and the surrounding color of the operation indicator A is displayed in green when the number of times of input xa=4. When there is no contact input or when the number of times of input xa=0, the surrounding color of the operation indicator A is displayed in the default color. The default color is the same color (eg, red) as the first input color, but may be a different color (eg, white).

That is, as shown in FIG. 6, at the timing T2 when the number of inputs of the operation indicator A is updated to 2, the color around the operation indicator A is switched from red to blue. Then, at timing T3 when the number of inputs of the operation indicator A is updated to 3, the color around the operation indicator A is switched from blue to yellow. Then, at Tea when the contact input ends, processing is performed to restore the color around the operation indicator A to the default color.

As for the operation indicator B, similarly to the operation indicator A, the color around the operation indicator B may be switched at the timing when the number of inputs xb is counted.

Further, the progress state in which the contact input is continuously detected may be indicated by hands of a clock or a gauge. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, during the period from time Tsa when contact input is detected to time Tea when contact input is no longer detected, an image that increases the gauge or a clock image that rotates the second hand according to the passage of time. may be displayed.

(2) Sound Control In the present embodiment, the state in which the contact input is continuously detected in the detection area on the touch panel 12 corresponding to the operation indicator may be notified by sound control.

For example, a predetermined sound may be output at the timing when the number of inputs of the operation indicator A or the operation indicator B is counted. In such a case, a different sound may be output according to the value of the number of inputs, or a sound may be output for the number of inputs. Also, different sounds may be output from the operation indicators A and B. FIG.

(3) Vibration Control In the present embodiment, vibration control may be used to notify the state in which the contact input is continuously detected in the detection area on the touch panel 12 corresponding to the operation indicator.

For example, at the timing when the number of inputs of the operation indicator A or the operation indicator B is counted, it may be controlled to perform a predetermined vibration. In such a case, different vibrations may be performed according to the value of the number of inputs, or vibrations corresponding to the number of inputs may be performed. Also, the operation indicator A,
Different vibrations may be performed at B.

4.9 Single Press Processing In this embodiment, when there is a contact input that is not determined as a long press, the number of times of input is determined to be one and processing is performed.

That is, as shown in FIG. 14, the elapsed time Txa during which the contact input is continuously detected from the start time Tsa of the contact input detection of the operation indicator A is counted, and the elapsed time Txa does not pass the determination period Td. , when the contact input ends at the timing Tea, it is determined not to be a long press but to be a single press, the number of times of input xa is set (counted) to 1, and the operation associated with xa=1 at the timing Tea Accept the command of the indicator A. That is, at timing Tm31, which is the same as timing Tea, motion m1 is started based on the received command.

Further, although not shown, the elapsed time Txb during which the contact input is continuously detected from the contact input detection start time Tsb is measured for the operation indicator B, and the elapsed time Txb does not pass the determination period Td. , when the contact input ends at the timing Teb, it is determined as a single press, the number of inputs xb is set to 1 (counted), the command of the operation indicator B is received at the timing Teb, and the motion m1b based on the received command to start.

4.10 Player Object to be Operated In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5A, there are a plurality of player objects P1 to P4, and any one player object is to be operated. A marker MK is shown for the player object currently being operated.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5B, the player object to be operated can be selected (switched) by flick input in a predetermined detection area gg. For example, when the player performs a flick input in the right direction, the player object P2 positioned to the right of the currently selected player object P1 is selected. On the other hand, when the player flicks to the left, the player object P4 positioned to the left of the currently selected player object P1 is selected.

4.11 Movement Processing In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5B, the player object to be operated moves in the direction and amount of movement in the xz direction of the virtual three-dimensional space by performing a slide input in a predetermined detection area gf. is calculated, and the player object to be operated is moved based on the moving direction and moving amount.

4.12 Game Processing Based on Contact Input That is, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, slide input for movement of the player object to be operated is performed with the left hand, and operation indicators A, B, C, and D are operated with the right hand. contact input (long-press input, single-press input) can be performed.

In this embodiment, a player object to be operated is selected, and command input from operation indicator A, command input from operation indicator B, command input from operation indicator C, command input from operation indicator I, and By inputting commands, etc., game processing is performed in which the player fights against enemy objects.

That is, the player performs a flick input to select any one player object. Then, the player object is moved and operated by contact input (single press, long press) of the operation indicator A and the operation indicator B. FIG. For example, when the player object hits an enemy object, the player object's attack power is subtracted from the physical strength value of the enemy object. Note that the attack of the player object may fail if the enemy object performs a defensive action or moves.

For example, the consumption parameter is increased by 1 by executing the normal attack command once by the operation indicator B. Also, the consumption parameter is decremented by 1 by executing the special attack command of the operation indicator A once. In addition, special attacks can give 10 to 20 times more attack power to enemy objects than normal attacks, so there is a risk that special attacks will be used frequently, but in order to perform special attacks, consumption parameters are required. Since it is necessary to perform a normal attack for that purpose, the player can be prompted to perform a contact input for performing a normal attack.

In particular, in this embodiment, since a coordinated attack from a normal attack to a special attack can be performed, while increasing the consumption parameter while gradually damaging the enemy object with the normal attack, finally, the consumption parameter is consumed to make a special attack. This makes it possible to play the game strategically by inflicting great damage on the enemy object, thereby improving the interest of the game.

Further, when the enemy object starts attacking, the player can perform contact input with the operating indicator C to protect the player object to be operated from the attack from the enemy object. In other words, when the player object to be operated is touch-inputted by the operation indicator C, the defensive power of the player object is subtracted from the attack power of the attacking enemy object, and the subtracted value (damage power) is applied to the target player object. Subtract from the player object's health value.

Further, in this embodiment, when the accumulated value of the number of successful attacks and defenses reaches 10 or more, it becomes possible to input a deathblow command by contact input of the operation indicator I. In this embodiment, when a deathblow command is received, the deathblow command is executed, and an attack power higher than the normal attack and the special attack is subtracted from the health value of the enemy object.

Then, in the present embodiment, victory or defeat is finally determined based on the physical strength value (HP value) of the player object and the physical strength value of the enemy object. For example, if the physical strength values of all enemy objects appearing in one battle game become 0 before the physical strength values of all player objects P1 to P4 become 0, it is determined that the player wins and the enemy objects lose.

On the other hand, if the physical strength values of all the player objects P1 to P4 become 0 before the physical strength values of all the enemy objects appearing in one battle game become 0, it is determined that the player loses and the enemy objects win. That is, in one battle game, the total physical strength of all player objects is compared with the total physical strength of all enemy objects, and the one whose total physical strength reaches 0 first is the loser, and the other is the winner. Determined as

Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5A, a gauge indicating the physical strength value of the player object and the physical strength value are displayed in the upper portion of the display 12 . In this way, the player can check the physical strength value of each player object during the game.

First, the number of inputs xb of the operation indicator B is set to 0 (xb=0) (step S1). Then, it is determined whether or not a contact input is detected in the detection area of the operation indicator B (step S2). Then, when a contact input is detected in the detection area of the operation indicator B (Y in step S2), the elapsed time from when the contact input is detected until the contact input is continuously detected is measured (step S3). . Then, it is determined whether or not the elapsed time has passed the determination period (step S4). On the other hand, if no contact input is detected in the detection area of the operation indicator B (N in step S2), the process ends.

If the elapsed time has passed the determination period (Y in step S4), it is determined that the button has been pressed for a long time (step S5), and it is determined whether or not the elapsed time has passed a predetermined cycle (step S6). On the other hand, if the elapsed time has not passed the determination period (N in step S4), and if the contact input continues (Y in step S11), the process returns to step S4, and if the contact input does not continue (N in step S11), it is determined to be a single press (step S12). Then, xb is set to 1 (xb=1) (step S13), and a normal attack command is accepted (step S14).

In step S6, if the elapsed time has passed the predetermined period (Y in step S6), xb is counted (that is, 1 is added to xb) (step S7). Then, a normal attack command is accepted (step S8). On the other hand, if the elapsed time has not passed the predetermined period (N in step S6), the process proceeds to step S9.

In step S9, it is determined whether or not the contact input is continued (step S9), and if the contact input is continued (Y in step S9), it is determined whether or not xb>3 (step S10), If xb>3 (Y in step S10), the process ends. On the other hand, if xb>3 is not true (N in step S10), the process returns to step S6. If the contact input is not continued (N in step S9), the process is terminated. The processing ends here.

(2) Processing of Receiving Command of Normal Attack of Operation Indicator A Next, processing of receiving a command of special attack of operation indicator A will be described with reference to FIG. 16B.

First, the number of inputs xa of the operation indicator A is set to 0 (xa=0) (step S21). Then, it is determined whether or not a contact input is detected in the detection area of the operation indicator A (step S22). Then, if a contact input is detected in the detection area of the operation indicator A (Y in step S22), the elapsed time from when the contact input is detected until the contact input is continuously detected is measured (step S23). . Then, it is determined whether or not the elapsed time has passed the determination period (step S24). On the other hand, if no contact input is detected in the detection area of the operation indicator A (N in step S22), the process is terminated.

If the elapsed time has passed the determination period (Y in step S24), it is determined that the button has been pressed for a long time (step S25), and it is determined whether or not the elapsed time has passed a predetermined cycle (step S26). On the other hand, if the elapsed time has not passed the determination period (N of step S24), if the contact input continues (Y of step S31), the process returns to step S24, and if the contact input does not continue (N in step S31), it is determined that it is a single press (step S32). Then, xa is set to 1 (xa=1) (step S33), and a special attack command associated with xa (the number of inputs of the operation indicator A is xa=1) is accepted (step S34). In the case of cooperative processing, a special attack command of a type associated with the number of inputs xa=1 and the number of inputs xb of the operation indicator B that received the last command is accepted.

In step S26, if the elapsed time has passed the predetermined period (Y in step S26), xa is counted (that is, 1 is added to xa) (step S27). Then, the special attack command associated with the number of inputs xa counted in step S27 is accepted (step S28). In the case of cooperative processing, a special attack command of a type associated with the number of inputs xa counted in step S27 and the number of inputs xb of the operation indicator B that received the last command is accepted.

On the other hand, if the elapsed time has not passed the predetermined period (N in step S26), the process proceeds to step S29.

In step S29, it is determined whether or not the contact input continues (step S29), and if the contact input continues (Y in step S29), it is determined whether or not xa>4 (step S30). , xa>4 (Y in step S30), the process ends. On the other hand, if xa>4 is not true (N in step S30), the process returns to step S26. If the contact input is not continued (N in step S29), the process is terminated. The processing ends here.

(3) Command Execution Processing Finally, execution processing of received commands will be described with reference to FIG. 16C.

First, it is determined whether or not a normal attack command has been received (step S41). When the normal attack command is received (Y in step S41), the normal attack operation is performed (step S42). On the other hand, if the normal attack command has not been received (N in step S41), it is determined whether or not the special attack command has been received (step S49). If a special attack command has been received (Y in step S49), the process proceeds to step S45. On the other hand, if the special attack command has not been received (N in step S49), the process ends.

Then, in step S43, it is determined whether or not the command for the next normal attack has been accepted (step S43). Note that in the process of step S43, it is determined that the next normal attack command is received even when the next normal attack command is received during the operation of step S42.

If the command for the next normal attack has been received (Y in step S43), the process returns to step S42 to perform the next normal attack operation.

On the other hand, if the command for the next normal attack has not been received (N in step S43), it is determined whether or not the command for special attack has been received within a specific period (step S44).

If the special attack command has been received within the specific period (Y of step S44), the process proceeds to step S45, and if the special attack command has not been received within the specific period (N of step S44), the process ends.

Then, in step S45, N is set to 1 (N=1) (step S45), and the special attack received for the Nth time is performed (step S46). Then, it is determined whether or not the command for the next special attack has been received (step S47). In the process of step S47, it is determined that the next special attack command has been received even when the next special attack command is received during the operation of step S42 or step S46.

If the command for the next special attack has been received (Y in step S47), 1 is added to N (step S48) and the process returns to step S46. On the other hand, if the command for the next special attack has not been received (N in step S47), the process ends. The processing ends here.
