That is, when the user touches the character CH while the character detail screen shown in FIG. 8A is displayed on the display unit 152 of the user terminal 100, the screen is updated to the character selection screen shown in FIG. 8B. . Characters A to D are displayed on the character selection screen, and when the user touches a desired character, the character associated with the user and registered in the character selection state management table 302 is changed to the touched character. .

When the user touches the dealing skill list HS while the character detail screen shown in FIG. 8A is being displayed on the display unit 152 of the user terminal 100, the dealing skill selection screen shown in FIG. 8C is displayed. is updated to On the tile deal skill selection screen, the tile deal skill associated with the character being selected is displayed. When the user touches a desired tile deal skill, the tile deal skill selection state management table 303 is associated with the user's character. The deal skill registered in is changed to the touched deal skill.

Furthermore, when the user touches the Tsumo skill list TS on the character detail screen shown in FIG. 8(A), the character detailed screen is updated to the Tsumo skill selection screen shown in FIG. 8(D). On the Tsumo-skill selection screen, Tsumo-skills associated with the character being selected are displayed. When the user touches a desired Tsumo-skill, the Tsumo-skill registered in the Tsumo-skill selection state management table 304 in association with the user's character is displayed. It will be changed to the touched Tsumosukiru.

(Skill activation condition management table)
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the skill activation condition management table 305. As shown in FIG. The skill activation condition management table 305 is a table for setting, for each user, the activation conditions of the dealt skill registered in the dealt skill selection state management table 303 .

If a plurality of users activate the same deal skill, there is a possibility that none of the plurality of users will be able to establish a winning combination, or that the rate of winning a winning combination will be extremely reduced. For example, the three types of seeds that the three-way maker aims at are white, green, and medium, and there are only 12 mahjong tiles. Therefore, when two users activate the three-way maker, six seeds are dealt to each user, and as a result, none of the users may be able to establish a winning combination.

Therefore, when the same tile dealing skill is associated with a plurality of users, the skill activation condition is set such that the tile dealing skill is activated only for one of the users. Specifically, among the sums of dice numbers indicating any of 2 to 12, a sum of numbers that do not overlap among the plurality of users is assigned to each of the plurality of users.

Also, the probability of activating the dealing skill is set to be the same among the plurality of users. Specifically, the number of combinations of two numbers forming the sum of the numbers to be assigned is the same among the plurality of users. For example, if the sum of two outcomes made up of any of the seven combinations in total is assigned to one of the plurality of users, the other users of the plurality of users are also assigned a sum of two rolls consisting of one of a total of seven possible combinations.

To give a more concrete example, there are three combinations of two numbers that give a sum of 4: (1, 3), (2, 2), and (3, 1). There are four combinations of two numbers that result in 5: (1,4), (2,3), (3,2), and (4,1). Also, the combination of two numbers that sums up to 2 is (1, 1), and the combination of two numbers that sums up to 7 is (1, 6). , (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), and (6,1). Furthermore, there are four possible combinations of two numbers that make the sum of the numbers 9: (3, 6), (4, 5), (5, 4), and (6, 3). There are three combinations of two numbers that sum to 10: (4,6), (5,5), and (6,4). So, for example, if the same dealing skill is associated with three users, for example, sums of 4 and 5 are assigned to the first user, and sums of 2 and 7 are assigned to the first user. is assigned to the second user, and sums of 9 and 10 are assigned to the third user. Further, for example, when the same tile deal skill is associated with two users, for example, the sum of numbers 2 to 5 is assigned to the first user, and the sum of numbers 9 to 12 is assigned to the first user. Assigned to a second user. The sum of the numbers assigned in this way corresponds to the skill activation condition. As a result, skill activation conditions are set in the skill activation condition management table 305 as shown in FIG. 7, for example.

According to FIG. 7, for user 1, the condition for activating the ternary maker is that the sum of the dice rolls is 4 or 5; The condition for activating the Shiki Maker is that the sum of the dice rolls is 3, 4, or 6, which is the condition for activating the Dark Bomb. For user 2, the condition for activating Shiki Maker is that the sum of the dice rolls is any of 9 to 12, and the sum of the dice rolls of 2, 5, or 6 is the tile master. The condition for activation is that the sum of the dice rolls is 8, 9, or 12.

For user 3, the sum of the dice rolls is 2 or 7, which is the condition for activating the Sangen Maker, and the sum of the dice rolls is 5 or more, which is the condition for activating the Dan Yao Master. A sum of 8, 10, or 11 is the trigger condition for the memory bomb. For User 4, the condition for activating the ternary maker is that the sum of the dice rolls is 9 or 10, and the activation condition for the tile master is that the sum of the dice rolls is 8, 9, or 12. , the sum of the dice rolls must be 2, 5 or 6 to activate the pair bomb.

According to FIG. 7, there are seven combinations of dice rolls for each of the users 1, 3, and 4 for which the three-way maker is activated. , users 1 and 2. There are 10 combinations of dice rolls for each of the users 2 and 4, and the combination of dice rolls for activating Dan Yao Master for user 3 is as follows: There are 30 ways. Furthermore, there are 10 combinations of dice rolls for triggering the Dark Bomb for both users 1 and 3, and 10 dice combinations for triggering the counter bomb for users 2 and 4. There are 10 patterns for each.

Thus, the conditions for activating the tile deal skill differ according to the number of users associated with the tile deal skill. Specifically, the lower the number of users, the higher the activation probability. As a result, the possibility of activating the tile deal skill can be increased as much as possible, and the interest in the game can be improved, compared to the case where a predetermined activation condition is set regardless of the number of users. can.

The activation skill selection screen shown in FIG. 9A includes the tile deal skill associated with the user on the tile deal skill selection state management table 303 and the skill activation condition set for the user on the skill activation condition management table 305. is displayed on the display unit 152 of the user terminal 100. On the activation skill selection screen, a tile deal skill to be used for a game to be started is selected by a touch operation from among three tile deal skills associated with the user. The activation skill selection screen is displayed each time the game starts. Therefore, the tile deal skill used in each game can be selected for each game. When a tile deal skill is selected on the activation skill selection screen, the game starts.

When a game is started, first, a dice effect screen shown in FIG. 9B is displayed on the display unit 152 of the user terminal 100. The dealing skill touched by the user is activated when the sum of the numbers appearing on the dice effect screen matches the activation condition of the dealing skill.

For example, if User 1 has selected Shiki Maker on the activation skill selection screen, and the sum of the dice rolls on the dice effect screen indicates 6, Shiki Maker is activated for User 1. be. As a result, the tiles are dealt to the user 1 so that seven or more seeds of small fours are included.

(Game screen)
In mahjong, technical terms such as home (own house or other house), secondary dew, exposure are used. Here, the house means the user (player), the home means the own user, and the other house means other users (other players). Also, vicero is a general term for Pong, Chi, Daimyo Kaku, Dark Kaku, and Komyo Kaku, and Exposing means to show the pattern of the tiles to other users.

FIG. 9C is a diagram showing an example of a game screen displayed vertically. As the game screen, a screen in which the mahjong table is viewed from the user's viewpoint (diagonally above) is displayed. In the center of the mahjong table, a river area RV for displaying own and other house's discarded tiles is allocated, and below the river area RV is a hand tile area HA for displaying own house's tiles in hand. is assigned. Also, below the tile hand area HA, a tsumo skill area TA for displaying a tsumo skill associated with one's house is allocated.

When the game begins, each house will play Tsumo tiles from the tile pile, discard tiles to the river area RV, sideways (Pon, Chi, Daimyo) for the discarded tiles of other houses, and sideways for the own hand tiles (Dark). The game progresses while repeating kaku, komei kaku) and so on.

When one of the tiles displayed in the tile hand area HA is touched (the D-shaped figure in the game screen of FIG. 9(D) indicates the position of the touch operation), the screen shown in FIG. 9(D) is displayed. , a guide frame (predetermined reference image) GF is displayed near the lower end of the river area RV, and the touched hand of tiles is enlarged and displayed above the hand of tiles area HA, that is, on the side of the river area RV. In terms of internal processing, the enlarged display is a process of moving the 3D model of the tile vertically upward to make the tile appear larger, and the display position is set above the touch operation position. As a result, the player can intuitively recognize the operation for discarding the tiles.

When the position of the touch operation started in the hand of tiles area HA is moved horizontally in the hand of tiles area HA (operation in the horizontal direction), the display of the hand of tiles touched before the movement becomes normal display. The tiles in hand that have been returned and are currently being touched are enlarged and displayed above the tiles in hand area HA, that is, on the side of the river area RV (see FIG. 9(E)). Further, by moving the position of the touch operation started in the hand of tiles area HA to an area below the hand of tiles area HA (including the Tsumosukiru area TA) and moving it in the horizontal direction, the touch operation can be performed. A hand of tiles positioned in the vertical direction of the position is specified, and the tiles are enlarged and displayed above the hand of tiles area HA, that is, on the river area RV side. It should be noted that the stage of enlarged display is the stage of selecting candidates for discarded tiles, and it is not considered that there is an intention to discard tiles at this stage. In this way, the hand of tiles is aligned and displayed in the horizontal direction along the short side of the vertically long display screen. Therefore, for example, by holding the user terminal 100 with the right hand and moving it in the horizontal direction by performing a touch operation with the thumb of the right hand, it is possible to select discarded tile candidates with one hand, thereby improving operability. can be done.

With a discarded tile candidate selected, when a drag-and-drop operation is performed to move the position of the touch operation to the river area RV and release the touch operation (operation in the vertical direction), the discarded tile candidate is displayed. thrown away. As a result, the hand of tiles that has been enlarged and displayed is removed from the hand of tiles, moved to the river area RV, and displayed in reduced size. In this way, the operation of discarding the discarded tile candidate is made different from the operation of selecting (specifying) the discarded tile candidate. Also, when the position of the touch operation is moved above the upper end of the tile hand area HA, it is assumed that there is an intention to discard the tiles, and areas above the upper end of the tile hand area HA (river area RV, tile hand In the area from the upper end of the area HA to the lower end of the river area RV), the discarded tile candidate is not changed even if the position of the touch operation is moved in the horizontal direction (even if it moves left and right). This reduces the concern that a hand of tiles different from the desired hand of tiles will be discarded due to erroneous movement of the position of the touch operation. Also, the river area RV is provided above the tile hand area HA. Therefore, for example, while the user terminal 100 is held with the right hand, by moving the touch operation with the thumb of the right hand in the vertical direction, the discard candidate can be discarded with one hand, thereby improving the operability. .

A Tsumo-skill is activated by touching a desired Tsumo-skill displayed in the Tsumo-skill area TA and moving the position of the touch operation into the Tsumo-skill activation area TH in the center of the game screen. When a Tsumo-skill is activated, a process corresponding to the Tsumo-skill is executed, such as exchanging tiles in a pile of tiles. A game ends when one's own or another's tsumo wins, one's own or another's wins a long run, or a draw. Also, the Tsumosukiru area TA is provided below the tile hand area HA. Therefore, for example, while holding the user terminal 100 with the right hand, by moving the touch operation with the thumb of the right hand in the vertical direction from the Tsumoskill area TA to the Tsumoskill activation area TH, the Tsumoskill can be activated with one hand. Operability can be improved.

(About operation)
Control unit 110 of user terminal 100 executes the character/skill selection process shown in FIG. 10 according to the user-side program stored in storage unit 120 .

First, in step S1, the character/skill detail screen shown in FIG. In step S2, it is determined whether or not a touch operation has been performed on the character CH on the character/skill detail screen. When it is determined that the touch operation has been performed on the character CH, the process advances to step S3 to display the character selection screen shown in FIG.

In step S4, it is determined whether or not a desired character on the character selection screen has been touched. When it is determined in step S4 that a desired character has been touched, the process advances to step S1 to display a character/skill detail screen corresponding to the touched character on the display section 152 of the touch screen 15.例文帳に追加Thereby, the character associated with the user can be changed to the character touch-operated.

If it is not determined in step S4 that the desired character has been touched, then in step S5 it is determined whether or not the touch operation for "return" on the character selection screen has been performed. When it is not determined in step S5 that the touch operation for "return" has been performed, the process proceeds to step S4. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S5 that the touch operation for "return" has been performed, the process returns to step S1 without changing the character.

When it is not determined in step S2 that a touch operation has been performed on the character CH, the process advances to step S6 to determine whether or not a touch operation has been performed on the deal skill list HS on the character detail screen. When it is determined that a touch operation has been performed on the dealing skill list HS, the process proceeds to step S7, and the dealing skill selection screen shown in FIG.

In step S8, it is determined whether or not a desired tile deal skill on the tile deal skill selection screen has been touched. When it is determined in step S8 that a desired tile deal skill has been touched, the process proceeds to step S1, and the touch screen 15 displays a character/skill detail screen in which the touch-operated deal skill appears in the deal skill list HS. is displayed on the display unit 152 of . Thereby, the dealing skill associated with the user can be changed to the dealing skill that is touch-operated.

When it is not determined in step S8 that a desired tile dealt skill touch operation has been performed, in step S9 it is determined whether or not a "return" touch operation on the dealt skill selection screen has been performed. If it is not determined in step S9 that the touch operation for "return" has been performed, the process proceeds to step S8. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S9 that the touch operation of touching "return" has been performed, the process returns to step S1 without changing the dealing skill.

If it is not determined in step S6 that a touch operation has been performed on the dealing skill list HS, the process proceeds to step S10 to determine whether or not a touch operation has been performed on the Tsumo skill list TS on the character detail screen. When it is determined that a touch operation has been performed on the Tsumosukiru list TS, the process proceeds to step S11 to display the Tsumosukiru selection screen shown in FIG.

In step S12, it is determined whether or not a desired Tsumo-skill on the Tsumo-skill selection screen has been touched. When it is determined in step S12 that a desired Tsumo-skill has been touched, the process proceeds to step S1, and a character/skill detail screen in which the touch-operated Tsumo-skill appears in the Tsumo-skill list TS is displayed on the display unit 152 of the touch screen 15. do. As a result, the Tsumosukiru associated with the user can be changed to the Tsumosukiru touch-operated.

If it is not determined in step S12 that a desired Tsumo-skill has been touched, then in step S13 it is determined whether or not a "Return" on the Tsumo-skill selection screen has been touched. If it is not determined in step S13 that the touch operation for "return" has been performed, the process proceeds to step S12. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S13 that the touch operation of touching "return" has been performed, the process returns to step S1 without changing the Tsumoskill.

If it is not determined in step S10 that a touch operation has been performed on the Tsumoskill list TS, the process proceeds to step S14 to determine whether a touch operation has been performed on "create a room" or "enter a room" on the character/skill detail screen. determine whether or not The operation of touching "Create a room" is equivalent to the operation of starting a game as the host, and the operation of touching "Enter the room" is to enter the room created by the host as a guest and start the game. Equivalent to the operation to

If it is determined that the touch operation for "create room" or "enter room" on the character/skill detail screen has been performed, the process proceeds to step S15. In step S15, user specification information is generated and the game server 200 is notified of the specification information. The specification information to be notified includes user identification information that identifies the user who sent the notification, host/guest identification information that identifies whether the user is a host or guest, character displayed on the character/skill details screen, character/ The tile deal skills (selected tile deal skills) displayed in the tile deal skill list HS on the skill detail screen and the tsumo skills (selected tile skill) displayed in the tsumo skill list TS on the character/skill detail screen are included. The character/skill selection process ends after notification of the specification information.

The game server 200 forms a group consisting of one host and three guests by matching, and sends the specification information for the four guests belonging to the group to the user terminal 100 operated by the host user in the group. Notice. That is, the game server 200 matches the one user who touched "create a room" with the three users who touched "enter the room" to form one group, and the four users belonging to the group. The user terminal 100 of the one user who touched "Create a room" is notified of the specification information received from the other user.

When the character/skill selection process shown in FIG. 10 ends, the control unit 110 of the user terminal 100 operated by the host user executes the dealing skill activation condition setting process shown in FIG. 11 according to the administrator's program.

In step S<b>21 , it is determined whether or not the game server 200 has notified the specification information of the four users belonging to the group formed by the game server 200 . If it is determined that the specification information of four users has been notified, the process proceeds to step S22. In step S22, the character included in the specification information is registered in the character selection state management table 302 shown in FIG. It is registered in the state management table 303, and the Tsumo-skill included in the specification information is registered in the Tsumo-skill selection state management table 304 shown in FIG. 6(C). All of the character, tile dealing skill, and Tsumosukiru are associated with the user indicated by the user identification information included in the specification information.

At step S23, one of the users is designated. For example, the order of users registered in the character selection state management table 302 shown in FIG. 6A is specified. In step S24, the tile deal skill associated with the specified user is specified on the tile deal skill selection state management table 303, and one of the specified tile deal skills is specified. For example, among the tile deal skills registered in the tile deal skill selection state management table 303 shown in FIG.

In step S25, it is determined whether or not the condition for activating the specified dealt skill has been set based on the registration status of the skill activation condition management table 305 shown in FIG. If it is not determined that the condition for activating the specified dealt skill has already been set, the process of steps S26 and S27 is performed, and then the process proceeds to step S28. On the other hand, when it is determined that the conditions for activating the designated dealt skill have already been set, the process proceeds to step S28 without performing the processing of steps S26 and S27.

In step S26, the user who has selected the same deal skill as the specified tile deal skill on the deal skill selection screen is identified based on the registration status of the deal skill selection status management table 303. FIG. In step S27, a condition for activating the dealing skill for the user identified in step S26 is determined based on the total number of users identified in step S26.

Specifically, the processing of step S27 will be described first. A sum that is the same among the users specified in 2 is selected from 2 to 12. Next, the sum of the selected outcomes is set for each of the users identified in step S26 as a skill activation condition. As a result, on the skill activation condition management table 305, each user is associated with the skill activation condition corresponding to the tile dealt skill specified in step S24.

For example, in the registration state shown in FIG. 6B, if a ternary maker is designated in step S24 and NO is determined in step S25, users 1, 3 and 4 are specified in step S26. In step S27, "the sum of the dice rolls is 4 or 5" is associated with the user 1 on the skill activation condition management table 305, and "the sum of the dice rolls is 2 or 7" is associated with the skill activation condition management table 305. User 3 is associated above, and "the sum of the dice rolls is 9 or 10" is associated with user 4 on the skill activation condition management table 305 . Between these skill activation conditions, the sums of the dice rolls do not overlap, and the number of combinations of two rolls forming the sum of the dice rolls is the same.

As a result, even if a plurality of users select the same tile deal skill, the deal skill can be activated for only one of the users. Also, the probability of activating the dealing skill is set to be the same among the plurality of users.

In step S28, it is determined whether or not all the dealt skills selected by the designated user have been designated in step S24. If it is determined in step S24 that all the dealing skills selected by the specified user have not been specified, the process returns to step S24. In step S24, a tile deal skill that has not yet been specified among the tile deal skills selected by the specified user is specified.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S24 that all the dealt skills selected by the specified user have been specified, it is determined in step S29 whether or not all users have been specified in step S23. If it is determined in step S23 that all users have not been designated, the process returns to step S23. In step S23, a user who has not yet been specified is specified.

When it is determined in step S23 that all users have been designated, the process advances to step S30 to notify the game server 200 of the skill activation conditions set in the skill activation condition management table 305. FIG. The tile deal skill activation condition setting process ends after notification of the skill activation condition.

The game server 200 notifies each of the four user terminals 100 operated by each of the four users of the skill activation condition received from the user terminal 100 operated by the host user. The partial skill activation condition is a skill activation condition associated with the user operating the user terminal 100 of the notification destination.

After the dealt skill activation condition setting process shown in FIG. 11 is completed, the control unit 110 of the user terminal 100 operated by each user executes the activation skill selection process shown in FIG. 12 according to the user-side program. In addition, the control unit 110 of the user terminal 100 operated by the host user executes the dealing control process shown in FIG. 13 according to the administrator's program.

First, referring to FIG. 12, in step S41, it is determined whether or not the game server 200 has notified the condition for activating the dealt skill. When it is determined that the activation condition of the dealt skill has been notified, the process proceeds to step S42 to display the activation skill selection screen shown in FIG. According to FIG. 9(A), the activated skill selection screen lists the dealt skills touched on the dealt skill selection screen and displays "Do not use skill". In addition to the effect of the tile deal skill listed, the notified activation condition is added to the deal skill. Furthermore, the remaining time for selecting the desired tile deal skill is displayed at the lower right of the activation skill selection screen.

In step S43, it is determined whether or not a touch operation for a desired tile deal skill has been performed. Also, in step S44, it is determined whether or not a touch operation has been performed for "Do not use skill" on the activated skill selection screen, and it is determined whether or not the time has expired without any touch operation being performed. do.

When it is determined that the touch operation for the desired tile deal skill has been performed, the process proceeds from step S43 to step S45. On the other hand, if it is determined that the touch operation for "Do not use skill" on the activation skill selection screen has been performed, or if it is determined that the time has expired without any touch operation being performed, step From S44, the process proceeds to step S46.

In step S45, the game server 200 is notified of the touched dealing skill. On the other hand, in step S46, the game server 200 is notified that none of the dealt skills has been selected. When the game server 200 receives the tile deal skill notification issued in step S45 or S46 from all users, it notifies the user terminal 100 operated by the host user of the notification.

Turning to FIG. 13, in the user terminal 100 operated by the host user, in step S61, it is determined whether or not the game server 200 has notified about the dealing skill. If it is determined that there has been a notification regarding the dealing skill, the process proceeds to step S62. In step S62, the outcome of the dice is determined, and the game server 200 is notified of the determined outcome. The game server 200 notifies the user terminal 100 operated by each user of the determined outcome of the dice.

In step S63, one of the users is designated, and in step S64, it is determined whether or not the notification from the designated user is the notification of the dealt skill touched (the notification issued in step S45). If it is determined that the notification from the specified user is the notification of the touched dealt skill, the process proceeds to step S65 to specify the activation condition of the touched dealt skill on the skill activation condition management table 305.例文帳に追加

In step S66, it is determined whether or not the die roll determined in step S62 matches the activation condition specified in step S65. When it is determined that the number of the die determined in step S62 matches the activation condition specified in step S65, the process proceeds to step S67. In step S67, a dealt tile corresponding to the touched dealt skill (a dealt tile that satisfies the contents described with reference to FIG. 4) is determined, and the dealt dealt is set for the designated user. As an example of the method of determining the dealt tiles, a case in which Tsutsuko Master, which is one of the dealt skills, is activated will be described. First, 8 tiles are selected from the cylinder tiles, and the remaining 5 or 6 tiles are randomly selected. The 13 or 14 tiles thus selected are dealt tiles corresponding to the Tsutsuko master.

On the other hand, if it is not determined in step S64 that the notification from the specified user is the notification of the touched deal skill, or if the number of the dice determined in step S62 is specified in step S65, the activation condition If it is not determined in step S66 that the tiles are matched, the process advances to step S68 to set random tiles for the specified user.

In step S69, it is determined whether or not all users have been designated. If it is determined that all users have not been designated, the process returns to step S63 to designate any of the users that have not yet been designated. If it is determined in step S69 that all users have been designated, the process proceeds to step S70.

In step S70, the game server 200 is notified of the combination of tiles selected according to the tile deal skill set in step S67 and the deal information for specifying the user to be set in step S67. The tile dealt information notified here is the dealt tile information of the user for whom the process of step S67 was executed. When the processing of step S67 is executed for a plurality of users (when a different deal master for each user is activated, etc.), the game server 200 is notified of the deal information of each of the users. For example, when a manko master is set for user 1 , the game server 200 is notified of a combination of tiles containing eight or more manko and tile deal information for specifying user 1 . Note that if the process of step S67 has not been executed for any user, the process of step S70 is not executed.

In step S71, the game server 200 is notified of the randomly selected combination of tiles and dealt information for specifying the user to be set in step S68. The dealt information notified here is the dealt information of the user for whom the process of step S68 was executed. When the process of step S67 is not executed and the dealt tiles of each of the four users are set by the process of step S68, the dealt tile information for the four users is obtained.

In step S71, tiles are selected from over 120 tiles excluding the tiles selected in step S70. Also, the number of tiles that can be selected for the three players decreases as the order of selection becomes later.

The number of tiles selected in each of steps S70 and S71 is 14 for the East family and 13 for the South, West or North family.

In step S72, the remaining tiles are used to construct a tile pile, and the game server 200 is notified of the tile pile information indicating the arrangement of the tiles in the constructed tile pile. The tile deal control process ends after notification of the pile of tile information. The game server 200 notifies the user terminal 100 of the user identified from the dealt information of the dealt information received by the process of step S70 or S71. In addition, the game server 200 notifies the user terminals 100 of all users of the pile of tiles information received in the process of step S72.

Returning to FIG. 12, in step S47, it is determined whether or not the dice outcome has been notified from the game server 200, and if it is determined that the dice outcome has been notified, a dice performance is executed in step S48. The display unit 152 of the touch screen 15 displays a dice effect screen shown in FIG. 9B. In addition, on the dice effect screen, after the dice is rolled, the reported outcome of the dice is displayed.

In step S50, it is determined whether or not the die roll received by the process of step S47 matches the skill activation condition received by the process of step S41. When it is determined that the result of the dice matches the skill activation condition, the process advances to step S51 to inform the user that the dealing skill has been activated.

In step S52, it is determined whether or not the game server 200 has notified the dealing information. When it is determined that the dealt information has been notified, the process proceeds to step S53, and 14 or 13 tiles in hand are displayed on the game screen according to the combination of tiles specified from the dealt information (see FIG. 9(C)). ). In step S54, it is determined whether or not the pile of tiles information has been notified from the game server 200, and if it is determined that the pile of tiles information has been notified, the activated skill selection process is terminated.

When the activation skill selection process ends, the control unit 110 of the user terminal 100 operated by each user executes the game process shown in FIG. 14 according to the user-side program. Note that when a game starts, each user terminal 100 synchronizes with each other via the game server 200 . When an operation such as discarding tiles, popping, chiing, picking, winning a tsumo, or winning a long run is performed on any of the user terminals 100, operation information indicating the details of the operation is sent to another user via the game server 200. The terminal 100 is notified. As a result, consistency is achieved between the game screens.

In step S81, it is determined whether or not the home (own user's) turn has arrived. When it is determined that the player's turn has arrived, it is determined in step S82 whether or not the player has declared CHI. If it is not determined that the home has declared Chow, the process proceeds to step S83 to acquire a tile from the tile pile. In step S84, it is determined whether or not the player has declared dark or small light. If it is not judged that the player has declared a dark kick or a small clear kick, it is judged in step S85 whether or not the player has discarded a tile, and whether or not a winning combination has been established with respect to the hand of tiles and the player has declared a win. is determined in step S86. When it is determined that the player has discarded the tile, the process returns from step S85 to step S81. When it is determined that a winning hand has been established with respect to the hand of tiles and that the home has declared a win, the process advances from step S86 to step S87 to carry out settlement. The current game process ends after settlement.

If it is not determined in step S81 that the player's turn has arrived, it is determined in step S88 whether or not the player has declared Pon or Daimyo Kaku. If it is determined in step S82 that the player has declared CHI, or if it is determined in step S88 that the player has declared PONG, CHI, or DAIMEIKO, the flow advances to step S89 to acquire tiles from other players. The tiles to be acquired are the tiles that make up the declared secondary tiles.

If it is determined in step S84 that the player has declared a dark kong or a small clear kong, or if a tile has been obtained from the other family in the process of step S89, the process proceeds to step S90, and the tiles that make up the declared secondary player are handed. Exposed to the upper right of the tile area HA. In step S91, it is determined whether or not the tiles have been exposed by the kong. If it is determined that the tile has been exposed by the kang, the process proceeds to step S83, while if it is not determined that the tile has been exposed by the kang, the process proceeds to step S92. In step S92, it is determined whether or not the player has discarded the tile, and if it is determined that the player has discarded the tile, the process returns to step S81.

If it is not determined in step S88 that the player has declared Pon or Daimyo Kaku, whether or not the winning hand has been established and the player has declared a long win or whether the other family has declared a long win or a Tsumo win. It is determined in step S93 whether or not there is a match, and whether or not a match has been played.

When it is not determined that a winning hand has been established with respect to the tiles in hand and that one's house has declared a long win, or that another house has declared a long win or a Tsumo win, and that the game has not flowed, the process proceeds to step S81. return. On the other hand, it is determined that the winning hand has been established and the home has declared a long win, or that the other house has declared a long win or a tsumo win, or that the game has flowed. If so, settlement is made in step S87, and then the current game process is terminated. For the next game, the process starts from step S42 shown in FIG. 12, for example. As a result, a tile deal skill is selected for each game, and the dealt tiles corresponding to the success or failure of the activation condition are displayed after the success or failure of the activation condition of the deal skill is notified by the dice effect.

In parallel with the game processing shown in FIG. 14, the control unit 110 of the user terminal 100 of each user repeatedly executes the hand tile display control processing shown in FIG. repeatedly.

First, referring to FIG. 15, in step S101, it is determined whether or not a desired tile displayed in the tile hand area HA on the game screen shown in FIGS. 9(C) to 9(E) has been touched. judge. If it is not determined that the desired tile has been touched, it is determined in step S102 whether or not a predetermined time has passed since the current pick.

If it is determined that the predetermined time has passed since the current pick, the process proceeds to step S103, and the pick tile is discarded. Specifically, the Tsumo tile is moved to the river area RV and displayed in a reduced size. Also, when a tile is discarded, it is determined in step S85 or S92 shown in FIG. 14 that the player has discarded a tile. The current tile hand display control process ends after step S103.

On the other hand, when it is determined that a desired tile has been touched, the process proceeds from step S101 to step S104 to display the guide frame GF on the display section 152 of the touch screen 15 . In step S105, the touched tile is selected as a discarded tile candidate. In step S106, the selected tiles are enlarged and displayed on the river area RV side.

Therefore, when the 10,000 tiles shown in FIG. 9(D) are touched, the tiles are enlarged and displayed at a position above the touch position. Also, when one tile shown in FIG. 9(E) is touched, the tile is enlarged and displayed at a position above the touch position.

In step S107, it is determined whether or not the touch position on the input unit 151 has moved. When it is determined that the touch position has moved, the process proceeds to step S108, and it is determined whether or not the current touch position is within the lower area extending to the bottom of the screen including the tile hand area HA. When it is determined that the current touch position is within the lower area, the process proceeds to step S109, and the discarded tile candidate is changed to a tile positioned vertically to the touch position. In step S110, the tile to be enlarged and displayed is changed to the tile positioned in the vertical direction of the touch position, and then the process returns to step S107.

Therefore, when the touch position is moved to the right while the 10,000 tiles are enlarged and displayed as shown in FIG. It is enlarged and displayed at a position above the position. In addition, when the touch position is moved to the left while one tile is enlarged and displayed as shown in FIG. It is enlarged and displayed at a position above the position. Note that when the touch position moves to the river area RV, the guide frame GF is highlighted.

If it is determined that the touch position has not moved, it is determined in step S111 whether the touch operation on the input unit 151 has been released. If it is not determined in step S111 that the touch operation has been released, it is determined in step S116 whether or not a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the current pick.

When it is determined in step S111 that the touch operation has been released, the process proceeds to step S112 to hide the guide frame GF. In step S113, it is determined whether or not the previous touch position is within the river area RV. If the immediately preceding touch position is not determined to be within the river area RV, the discarded tile candidates are cleared in step S114, and the enlarged display of the tiles ends in step S115. As a result, the enlarged tiles are normally displayed in their original positions.

When it is determined in step S116 that the predetermined time has elapsed since the current pick, the guide frame GF is hidden in step S117, and then the process proceeds to step S118. The process also proceeds to step S118 when it is determined in step S113 that the previous touch position is within the river area RV. When the process proceeds from step S117 to step S118, in step S118, the Tsumo tile is discarded instead of the discard candidate tile. Specifically, the Tsumo tile is moved to the river area RV and displayed in a reduced size. On the other hand, when the process proceeds from step S113 to step S118, discard the discard candidate tile touched immediately before. Specifically, the enlarged tiles are moved to the river area RV and displayed in reduced size. Also, when a tile is discarded, it is determined in step S85 or S92 shown in FIG. 14 that the player has discarded a tile. The current hand of tiles display control process ends after step S115 or S118.

With reference to FIG. 16, at step S121, among the Tsumo-skills displayed in the Tsumo-skill area TA, currently available Tsumo-skills are highlighted. Further, in step S122, currently unusable Tsumo-skills among the Tsumo-skills displayed in the Tsumo-skill area TA are normally displayed. Here, an example of a situation in which Tsumoskill can be used will be described. For example, if the user selects "Explosive Highway" as a Tsumo skill, the Tsumo skill can be used when the number of tiles in hand is 3 Shanten or more. Therefore, "Explosive Highway" is highlighted when the number of tiles in hand is 3 or more, and is changed to normal when the number of tiles in hand is 2 or less.

In step S123, it is determined whether or not a touch operation has been performed on an available Tsumosukiru. If it is not determined that a touch operation has been performed on a usable Tsumo-skill, the current Tsumo-skill control process is ended. When it is determined that the touch operation has been performed on the usable Tsumosukiru, the process proceeds to step S124, and it is determined whether or not the touch operation on the input unit 151 has been released.

When it is determined that the touch operation on the input unit 151 has been released, the process proceeds to step S125, and it is determined whether or not the previous touch position is within the Tsumoskill activation area TH. If it is not determined that the previous touch position is within the Tsumoskill activation area TH, the current Tsumoskill control process is terminated. On the other hand, when it is determined that the previous touch position is within the Tsumosukiru activation area TH, the Tsumosukiru to be operated is activated in step S126, and the usable count of the Tsumosukiru to be operated is reduced in step S127. The Tsumosukiru control processing this time ends after the usable count is reduced.

Therefore, for example, when Tsutsuko Musou is activated, the tiles in the tile pile are rearranged so as to attract the Tsutsuko three times in a row. Since the order of tsumo is changed when home or other declares chi, pong or kang, tile rearrangement is also performed when chi, pong or kang is declared. When a Tsumo-skill is activated, instead of rearranging the tiles on the tile pile, the tiles corresponding to the Tsumo-skill are extracted from the tile pile, and the user who activated the Tsumo-skill is allowed to collect the tiles. good too. This eliminates the need to rearrange the tiles when a chi, pong or kung is declared.

<Effects of this embodiment>
According to the present embodiment, when the tile deal skill associated with the user is activated, the tiles are dealt so that many tiles that match the establishment conditions of the combination corresponding to the tile deal skill are included. However, the dealing skill is activated only when the activation condition set for the dealing skill is met. This makes it possible to improve the fun of playing the mahjong game. Further, when a tile deal skill in which tiles that match the condition for establishing a winning combination are duplicated, is associated with a plurality of users, a condition that is not met simultaneously is set as the activation condition for the tile deal skill. This can alleviate the concern that none of the users associated with that tile deal skill will be able to establish a winning combination.

Furthermore, the probability that the conditions for activating the tile dealt skill are satisfied is the same among the users associated with the tile dealt skill. This makes it possible to ensure the fairness of the game.

Furthermore, the conditions for activating the tile deal skill vary according to the number of users associated with the tile deal skill, and are set so that the activation probability is relatively high. As a result, the possibility of activating the tile deal skill can be increased as much as possible, and the interest in the game can be improved, compared to the case where a predetermined activation condition is set regardless of the number of users. can.

In addition, the condition for activating the dealt skill is established based on a numerical value determined from a range of 2 to 12 that can be indicated by the sum of the results of the dice. When a tile skill is associated with a plurality of users, by allocating a unique numerical value within the range of 2 to 12 to the plurality of users, a condition that does not hold simultaneously as a condition for activating the tile deal skill is established. set. The concern that none of the users associated with the tile deal skill will be able to establish a role can be alleviated by using the results of the dice used in the progress of the mahjong game without causing discomfort.

Further, the conditions for activating the dealt skill associated with the user and the effects to be imparted when the conditions for activating the tiles are satisfied are notified on the activation skill selection screen. A dice effect screen on which the dice result is drawn is displayed after the tile deal skill to be used in the game is selected on the activation skill selection screen. The dealt tiles containing many tiles that match the conditions for establishing the hand corresponding to the dealt skill are displayed on the game screen after the conditions for activating the dealt skill are met. As a result, continuity can be given to the flow from the notification of the dealt skill to the display of the dealt tiles.

Furthermore, when the game starts, Tsumoskill that can be activated during the game is displayed at the bottom of the game screen. The Tsumosukiru is highlighted when the game situation allows it to be activated. As a result, it is possible to improve the operability for advancing the game advantageously.

Further, the tiles displayed in the tile hand area HA on the game screen are discarded to the river area by moving the position of the touch operation to the river area RV while maintaining the touch operation on the tiles. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game from developing unintended by the player due to an erroneous touch operation.

Furthermore, the discarded tile candidate is changed to another tile by moving the position of the touch operation at least within the tile hand area HA while the touch operation is maintained. As a result, even if the discarded tile candidate is selected incorrectly, the discarded tile candidate can be correctly selected by moving the position of the touch operation.

The discarded tile candidate is also changed by moving the position of the touch operation within a predetermined area on the opposite side of the river area RV with respect to the tile hand area HA while the touch operation is maintained. By doing so, it is possible to determine discard tile candidates while looking at all the tiles in hand. In other words, it is possible to eliminate the inconvenience that the tiles near the touched position cannot be seen by the finger when the discarded tile candidate is changed only by moving the touched position within the tile hand area HA.

Even when the position of the touch operation is moved while the touch operation is maintained, the discarded tile candidate is not changed when the movement is within the area on the river area RV side of the tile hand area HA. As a result, it is less likely that a wrong hand of tiles will be discarded due to an erroneous touch operation.

Discarding tiles is executed when the touch operation is released within the river area RV. In other words, if the position of the touch operation is moved to the river area RV and then the touch operation is not released, the tiles are not discarded. In this way, by making the operation of discarding the discarded tile candidate (drag and drop) different from the operation of specifying the discarded tile candidate (touch operation), it is possible to avoid discarding the tile due to an erroneous operation as much as possible. Furthermore, the tile being touched is displayed on the river area RV side of the position of the touch operation. Thereby, the user can determine whether or not to discard by confirming the discard candidate tile itself touch-operated.

Also, Tsumosukiru is displayed at a position opposite to the river area RV with respect to the tile hand area HA. A Tsumosukiru is activated by moving the position of the touch operation to the Tsumosukiru activation area TH in the river area RV while maintaining the touch operation for the Tsumosukiru. Since the operation for activating Tsumosukiru is substantially the same as the operation for discarding the tiles in hand, the operation can be simplified.

Furthermore, when a touch operation is performed on the hand of tiles, a guide frame GF is displayed within the river area RV. This allows the user to easily understand where the position of the touch operation should be moved to execute the discarding of tiles. Also, since the discarded tiles are displayed in the river area RV, the user can easily understand that the discarded tiles have been executed.

<Modification>
Modified examples of the embodiment described above are enumerated below.

(1) In the above embodiment, the probability that the conditions for activating the tile dealt skill are satisfied is the same among the users associated with the tile dealt skill. However, the establishment probability may be set to be advantageous or disadvantageous to the parent user, or may be set to be disadvantageous to high-ranking users whose points are more than a predetermined value away from the reference point (=25000 points), It may be set so as to be advantageous to the lower-ranked users whose points are separated from the reference point by a predetermined value or more. Also, in the aura, the establishment probability may be set to 100% for the lowest ranked user. Furthermore, it may be set such that the probability of establishment is set lower for a user who declares Pon, Chi, and Daimyo Kaku more times, or the probability of establishment is set higher for a user who has activated Tsumokiru more times. .

(2) In the above embodiment, when the tile deal skill associated with the user is activated, the tile deal is determined so that many tiles that match the winning conditions corresponding to the tile deal skill are included. . However, when the deal skill is activated, the dealt tiles are not necessarily composed of only the tiles that form the role, but include tiles other than the tiles that form the role. Therefore, for example, on a special day when the user can be distinguished from other users, such as the user's birthday, in a game in which the user activates the tile deal skill, the proportion of tiles that establish a hand is high. Alternatively, for example, the dealt tiles may consist of only the tiles that form a winning combination. It should be noted that, when the deal skill is activated when the player is in the East family where 14 tiles are dealt, 14 tiles that form a winning combination (that is, become a perfect match) may be dealt to the user. Alternatively, a special tile deal skill may be provided in which the percentage of tiles that form a winning combination is higher than the normal tile deal skill, and the special tile deal skill may be selected.

(3) In the above embodiment, when a plurality of users select the same tile deal skill, a condition is set as the activation condition for the tile deal skill that is not satisfied at the same time. However, for example, when two users select Manko Master and when two users select Shiki Maker, both users win the role due to the difference in the number of tiles corresponding to the role. The difference arises in the possibility that it cannot be established. In other words, since the Manko master has a large number of Manko tiles, 36, it is unlikely that any user will be able to establish a winning combination. On the other hand, as for Shiki Maker, since the number of wind tiles is as small as 16, there is a high possibility that none of the users will be able to establish a winning combination. Therefore, when a plurality of users select the same tile deal skill, the deal skill is a specific tile deal skill (a tile deal skill in which the number of tiles corresponding to a role is a predetermined value or less, for example, Shiki Maker, Only in the case of a character tile master and a three-way maker), a condition that cannot be met at the same time may be set as an activation condition for the dealt skill.

(4) In the above-described embodiment, only when a plurality of users select the same tile deal skill, a condition that is not met at the same time is set as the activation condition for that tile deal skill. However, for example, even if two users activate the character tile master and the three-way maker respectively, there is a possibility that both users will not be able to establish a winning combination. The main reason why both users cannot establish a winning combination is the small number of tiles corresponding to the winning combination. Therefore, when a plurality of users select a tile deal skill having a specific relationship (a tile deal skill in which the number of tiles corresponding to a role is equal to or less than a predetermined value, for example, Shiki Maker, Character Tile Master, or Sangen Maker), , a condition may be set as the activation condition of the tile deal skill that does not hold simultaneously even if the tile deal skills are different. Alternatively, each of a plurality of users may pay attention to the degree of overlapping of the seeds of the hand to be established by activating the tile dealing skill, and the tile dealing skills whose overlapping degree exceeds a predetermined standard may be established at the same time. A condition that does not exist may be set as the condition for activating the dealt skill.

(5) In the above embodiment, synchronization between user terminals 100 is established via game server 200 . However, for example, in a local area network environment, synchronization between the user terminals 100 may be established by communicating between the user terminals 100 .

(6) In the above embodiment, the processing (the tile deal skill activation condition setting process shown in FIG. 11 and the deal control process shown in FIG. 13) according to the administrator-side program is executed by the user terminal 100 of the user acting as the host. be. However, the processing may be performed by the game server 200 . In other words, the setting of the tile deal skill activation condition and the deal control may be performed by the game server 200 instead of the user terminal 100 of the user acting as the host. In this case, in step S21 shown in FIG. 11, it is determined whether or not the specification information issued in step S15 shown in FIG. 10 has been notified. Further, in step S30 shown in FIG. 11, the user terminal 100 of each user is notified of the conditions for activating the dealing skill. Furthermore, in step S61 shown in FIG. 13, it is determined whether or not the notification issued in step S45 or S46 shown in FIG. 12 has been received from the user terminal 100 of each user. In step S70 or S71 shown in FIG. 13, the dealt information is notified to the user terminal 100 specified from the dealt information, and in step S73 shown in FIG. The terminal 100 is notified. In this case, the processing for setting activation conditions in steps S23 to S29 in FIG. 11 and the tile deal control in steps S63 to S72 in FIG. Therefore, the processing of notifying the user's specification information in step S15 of FIG. When the step of setting the condition that the skill is not performed, and when the activation condition of the skill is satisfied, the condition for the role corresponding to the skill is met more than when the activation condition of the skill is not satisfied. It can be said that this corresponds to a step of specifying a combination of identification information containing a large amount of identification information.

(7) In the above-described embodiment, it is assumed that all four users who play mahjong will always be present, but in reality, there is a possibility that all four players will not be present. Therefore, if all four users are not available, the missing users may be compensated for by virtual users. In this case, for example, the user-side program corresponding to each virtual user is started in the game server 200 in an environment where connection to a communication line is possible, and in an environment where connection to a communication line is impossible, the user terminal 100 serving as a host. is launched in Also, the virtual user's character, tile deal skill, and Tsumo skill are determined by, for example, a random number lottery. Furthermore, the manager-side program of the user terminal 100 acting as a host plays a game while communicating with the user-side program (in an environment where connection to a communication line is not possible, communication with the user-side program is performed). is performed in the host user terminal 100).

(8) In the above embodiment, the discarding of tiles is performed when the touch operation is released within the river area RV. However, if the position of the touch operation is moved to the river area RV while maintaining the touch operation on the tiles in hand, it can be determined that the intention to discard the tiles has already been expressed at that point. Therefore, tiles may be discarded when the position of the touch operation is moved to the river area RV.

(9) In the above embodiment, the tile deal skill selected from the tile deal skill list HS is displayed on the activation skill selection screen and can be selected even at the start of the second and subsequent games. However, the activated tile deal skill may not be displayed on the activation skill selection screen in subsequent games, so that it cannot be selected. You may make it display in .

(10) In the above embodiment, it is assumed that the plurality of tile dealing skills assigned to the character are fixed (that is, cannot be changed or added). However, the tile dealing skill assigned to the character may be added or changed by charging, for example.

(11) In the above embodiment, a predetermined number (three) of the tile deal skills assigned to the character selected by each user are narrowed down as the tile deal skills that can be used in the game. In the above, an example has been described in which, after setting activation conditions for each of the predetermined number of dealing skills before the start of a game, the dealing skill to be used for each game is selected. As a result, it is possible to suppress the ratio of duplication of tile dealing skills associated between users, and as a result, it is possible to prevent the probability of fulfillment of the conditions for activating the tile dealing skills from becoming too low. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, for each game, after selecting a tile deal skill to be used for that game, activation conditions may be set in relation to the tile deal skills selected by other players. As a result, it is possible to further reduce the ratio of duplication of tile dealing skills associated between users, and as a result, to further prevent the probability of fulfillment of conditions for activating the tile dealing skills from becoming too low. can be done.

(12) In the above embodiment, a mah-jong game is assumed, but instead of this, a card game such as poker or a flower card game such as koi-koi may be assumed. In the case of poker, a pattern such as a jack of spades drawn on a card corresponds to identification information, and a full house, a straight flush, or the like corresponds to a hand. In addition, when assuming koi koi, the roles are equivalent to inoshikacho and having a cup of moon-viewing. Although the success or failure of the activation condition is determined by the result of the dice roll, the overlapping tile deal skill is not limited to this as long as it is activated by only one player. A rock-paper-scissors effect or the like may be executed, and as a result, only the winning player may activate the dealing skill.
