Description

The present invention relates to a program.

Traditionally, a mahjong game in which four players surrounding a mahjong table draw tiles one by one from a pile of tiles stacked on a mahjong table and compete to form a hand consisting of a combination of 14 to 18 tiles. is widely known. In some of these mahjong games, when a game screen is displayed on the display of a mobile terminal and a touch operation is performed on a tile in hand, the tile in hand (discarded tile candidate) is discarded. (Non-patent document 1).

“SEGA NET Mahjong MJ”, [online], [searched on July 12, 2018], Internet <http://sega-mj.com/outline/>

However, in the mahjong game of Non-Patent Document 1, there is a risk that the player may discard an unintended tile due to an erroneous touch operation, such as discarding the current discard candidate when intending to select another discard tile candidate. In particular, when the game screen is displayed vertically, the tiles in hand are arranged horizontally in a situation where the width of the screen is narrow, so there is a high possibility that the player will discard unintended tiles due to an erroneous touch operation.

The present invention was devised in view of such circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a program that can avoid as much as possible the player's unintended developments due to erroneous touch operations.

According to an aspect of an embodiment shown in the present disclosure, a program causes a computer to display a combination of a user's game objects among a plurality of game objects; A specifying means for specifying a game object that is being selected and operated, and a specifying means for specifying a game object that is selected and operated, and a specifying means when the degree of advantage in the game when each game object is excluded from the combination of game objects displayed by the display means is arranged in descending order of the degree of advantage. determining means for determining whether the degree of advantage when the specified game object is excluded is in a predetermined order or less ; If the determination is not made, an exclusion process is performed to exclude the specific game object from the combination of the user's game objects, and the determination means determines that the degree of advantage when excluding the specific game object is less than or equal to a predetermined order. When this happens, it functions as a means for performing specific processing that is different from exclusion processing.

According to the present invention, it is possible to avoid, as much as possible, unintended developments by the player due to erroneous touch operations.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same parts are given the same reference numerals. Their names and functions are also the same. Therefore, detailed descriptions thereof will not be repeated.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the overall configuration of the game system 1. As shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the game system 1 provides a game in which benefits (for example, points, etc.) are awarded upon completion of one of a plurality of predetermined combinations (achievement conditions). As an example of the type of game, a mahjong game in which a character operated by a user (player) can play against three characters operated by three other users is exemplified.

In this embodiment, a user and a character operated by the user have a one-to-one correspondence. Therefore, the explanation given in relation to the character is substantially the same as the explanation given in relation to the user, and the character can be replaced with the user as appropriate.

In the mahjong game, about 136 tiles (identification information) are used, which are classified as Manzi tiles, Tsutsuko tiles, Suko tiles, or Ji tiles. The 136 tiles are stacked on a mahjong table in the room, and each user draws one tile from the tile pile to form a hand consisting of a combination of 14 to 18 tiles (tiles owned by the user). We aim to establish this.

Also, in mahjong, technical terms such as home (home or other home), subro, and sarashi are used. Here, ``house'' means a character, ``home'' means a character operated by the own user, and ``other house'' means a character or NPC operated by another user. Furthermore, Soro is a general term for Pon, Chi, Daimeika, Anko, and Komeika, and sarase means showing the pattern of the tiles to other characters.

Each game continues as long as the parent continues to advance, and ends when the child advances or loses. In other words, the parent switching condition is satisfied by being promoted to a child or by losing a role. When the current game ends, the parent changes to the character on the right, and the next game begins.

Note that the type of game is not limited to this, as long as it is a game in which benefits (eg, points, etc.) are awarded depending on the formation of winning combinations, and may be, for example, a game using playing cards (eg, poker).

The battle starts after users 1 to 4 have gathered. Further, in this embodiment, as information used for the mahjong game, a chanter number register 301 shown in FIG. 4(A) and a discarded tile management table 302 shown in FIG. It is provided.

(Functional configuration of game server)
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the game server 200. The game server 200 has a game providing function that provides each user terminal 100 with information necessary for playing the game. The game server 200 receives game information from the user terminal 100, and transmits a game program that can be run on the user terminal 100, a web page (game screen, etc.), various game data such as user information and game parameters, various notifications, etc. do. The game server 200 can function as a control unit 210 and a storage unit 220 through cooperation of the processor 20, memory 21, storage 22, communication IF 23, input/output IF 24, and the like.

As shown in FIG. 3, the control section 210 can function as a transmitting/receiving section 211, a server processing section 212, a data management section 213, a matching section 214, and a measuring section 215 depending on the game program stored in the storage section 220. In the present embodiment, this game program is a program that causes the game server 200, which includes a processor 20 and a memory 21, to function as a control unit 210 and a storage unit 220 for advancing a mahjong game, and is a program that causes the game server 200 to function as a control unit 210 and a storage unit 220, and is an administrator's position. It also includes the above-mentioned administrator program that manages the mahjong game.

The transmitting/receiving unit 211 receives various information transmitted from each user terminal 100 and transmits various information to each user terminal 100.

Each user terminal 100 transmits various information to the game server 200 under the control of the control unit 110. The game server 200 receives the information via the network 2 and the communication IF 23, and the transmitter/receiver 211 identifies and receives the information.

The transmitting/receiving unit 211 refers to various management tables stored in the storage unit 220. The transmitter/receiver 211 refers to various management tables updated by the data manager 213 as necessary and executes necessary processing. This information includes tile distribution information for specifying the combination of tiles dealt to each user, tile pile information for specifying the tiles remaining after the tiles are dealt, and information such as pon, chi, and kang by each user. included.

The transmitting/receiving unit 211 also includes a game program that can be operated on the user terminal 100, user information, game space information such as a game screen, each user's dealt tiles, tile pile, each user's discarded tiles, each user's pon, and team. Game information such as winning, winning, winning, winning, etc. is transmitted to the user terminal 100.

The server processing unit 212 controls the overall operation of the game server 200, transmits and receives data between each element, and performs arithmetic processing necessary for progressing the game. The server processing unit 212 executes arithmetic processing according to a game program, for example, based on information or a request from the user terminal 100 that the transmitting/receiving unit 211 receives. Then, by transmitting the resulting various user information, game data such as game information, game program, etc. to the user terminal 100 via the communication IF 13, the game is further progressed on the user terminal 100.

The data management unit 213 performs necessary processing by adding, updating, or deleting various game data stored in the storage unit 220 and database records based on various calculation results in the server processing unit 212. Execute.

For example, when a user acts on the user terminal 100 to expose tiles on a mahjong table, the transmitting/receiving unit 211 receives from the user terminal 100 object information held by the user and information regarding game points as a result. The server processing unit 212 executes necessary processing based on the received information, while the data management unit 213 updates user information and game information.

Further, for example, when the transmitting/receiving unit 211 receives a request to execute a discard tile from the user terminal 100, the data management unit 213 combines the discard tile information with user information and game information regarding the discard tile placement position, etc. Store in association.

The matching unit 214 associates a plurality of playable characters with a predetermined game space for competitive play. For example, when a certain operated character performs an operation to create a room as a host, the matching unit 214 forms a party with the operated character as the host and three other operated characters as guests, and creates a party that belongs to the party. Four operated characters are temporarily associated with the same mahjong room.

The measurement unit 215, like the timer unit 113, has the function of defining the time in the mahjong room and measuring the time in the mahjong room. The measurement unit 215 measures, for example, the elapsed time from the time when a screen for selecting a skill to be activated at the start of a game is displayed. The measurement unit 215 generates time information of the mahjong room, and collates it with the time information of the mahjong room generated by the timer unit 113. As a result, the time information of the mahjong room is synchronized between the user terminal 100 and the game server 200, and measurement and determination of various time information can be carried out smoothly.

The storage unit 220 stores game programs, user authentication programs, and the like. Furthermore, a database for managing user information such as a user management table and game information such as an object management table may be constructed in the storage unit 220. The storage unit 220 may be provided with a chanter number register 301 shown in FIG. 4(A) and a discarded tile management table 302 shown in FIG. 4(B) for each of the four users playing the game. good.

(chanten number register)
Referring to FIG. 4(A), the number of chanters register 301 manages the number of chanters of tiles in hand of the user playing the game. Here, "chanteng" is a term indicating the minimum number of times it takes to make tenpai. Specifically, a state in which the tiles in hand can be picked up three times at the shortest to make tenpai is called 3-chanten, and a state in which the tiles in hand can be picked up two times at the shortest to make tenpai is called 2-chanten. For this reason, the closer the winning combination gets, the smaller the number of chanters becomes, and the decrease in the number of chanters is called increasing the number of chanters. Conversely, the further away from the establishment of a winning combination, the larger the number of chanters becomes, and the increase in the number of chanters is called the number of chanters down.

(Discarded tile management table)
Referring to FIG. 4(B), the discarded tile management table 302 includes the tiles touched by the touch operation that constitutes the flick operation among the tiles in the user's hand, and the hand to the right of the touched tiles. It manages three tiles: the tile and the tile to the left of the touched tile. Advantage points are set for each of the three tiles. Here, the advantage point is a point that represents the degree of advantage regarding the formation of a hand based on the combination of tiles in hand when the hand tile for which the advantage point is set is discarded, and the point value is small. The lower the Therefore, the priority order of the discarded tile with respect to the touched tile in the hand (the order in which the tile in the hand should be discarded) becomes lower as the advantage point set for the touched tile in the hand becomes smaller.

(game screen)
FIG. 9(A) is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen displayed vertically. At the top of the game screen, tiles for identifying a driver (for example, Rokuman tiles) are displayed. Furthermore, the face image of the character operated by the user is displayed at the bottom of the game screen. Furthermore, a mahjong table is displayed from the user's viewpoint (diagonally above) in the center and slightly upper part of the game screen.

A river area RV for displaying the discarded tiles of the own user and other users is allocated in the center of the mahjong table, and a hand tile for displaying the own user's hand tiles is allocated below the river area RV. Area HA is assigned.

When the game starts, the tiles in the hand of the user are displayed in the hand tile area HA for each tile classification (Manko tiles, Tsutsuko tiles, Sakuko tiles, Jiji tiles) (for several tiles, according to the number within the same classification) The user's Tsumo tiles are displayed at the right end of the hand tile area HA. Each user plays the game while repeatedly discarding tiles to the river area RV and repeating counter-discards to his or her own hand tiles or other users' discarded tiles.

In a game, when a flick operation is performed on any hand tile displayed in the hand tile area HA, the hand tile touched at the time of the flick operation (specific tile) and the right-hand tile of the touched hand tile are Three hand tiles, the hand tile (non-specific tile) and the hand tile to the left of the touched hand tile (non-specific tile), are registered in the discarded tile management table 302. At the time of registration, each of the three hand tiles has an advantage point of 0. The advantage point of each of the three hand tiles is subtracted by 1 when the hand tile is a dora tile, and is subtracted by 1 when the number of chanteuses is decreased by discarding the hand tile.

For example, in the game shown in FIG. 9(A), 70,000 tiles are dora tiles. In addition, the number of tiles in the user's hand will go down if any of the following tiles is discarded: 30,000 tiles to 50,000 tiles, 70,000 tiles to 90,000 tiles, two wire tiles, or white tiles. .

Therefore, when a Santsutsu tile is touched during a flick operation, the three tiles, the Santsutsu tile, the Gotsutsu tile on the right, and the Kuman tile on the left, are registered in the discarded tile management table 302. be done. At this time, Santsutsu tiles and Gotsutsu tiles are both different from Dora tiles, and even if you discard either Santsutsu tiles or Gotsutsu tiles, the number of Shanten will not decrease, so each of Santsutsu tiles and Gotsutsu tiles has an advantage. The degree points remain at 0. On the other hand, if you discard the 90,000 tiles, the number of Shanten will decrease, so the advantage point of the 90,000 tiles will be updated to -1.

Additionally, when a Shichiman tile is touched during a flick operation, the three tiles, the Shichiman tile, the 80,000 tile on the right, and the 40,000 tile on the left are registered in the discarded tile management table 302. Ru. At this time, the seven million tiles are dora tiles, and if the seven million tiles are discarded, the number of chanteuses decreases, so the advantage point of the seven million tiles is updated to -2. Furthermore, when 80,000 tiles or 40,000 tiles are discarded, the number of Shanten decreases, so the advantage points of each of 80,000 tiles and 40,000 tiles are updated to -1.

If the advantage point set for the touched tile in the hand is not the smallest among the three tiles, a discard is executed targeting the touched tile in the hand. In other words, if there is no specific situation in which the advantage points are lower when the touched tile is discarded than when a tile different from the touched tile is discarded, then A discard is executed targeting the tiles in the hand. The discarded tiles are moved to the river area RV and displayed in a reduced size.

Therefore, in the game screen shown in FIG. 9A, when the Santsutsu tile is touched during the flick operation, a discard tile is executed targeting the Santsutsu tile. The three cylinder tiles are displayed in the river area RV as shown in FIG. 9(B).

On the other hand, if the advantage points set for the touched tile are the minimum advantage points, the touched tile is lifted and a confirmation message is displayed (see FIG. 10). In other words, if there is a specific situation in which the advantage point is lower when the touched tile is discarded than when a hand tile different from the touched tile is discarded, the confirmation message is displayed on the touch screen 15. Furthermore, if the touched tile has the minimum advantage points among the tiles for which advantage points have been specified, if the touched tile contains a tile with the same advantage points as the touched tile. However, a confirmation message will be displayed. Note that if the touched tile has an advantage point of 0, no confirmation message is displayed regardless of the advantage points of other tiles.

Therefore, when the Shichiman tile is touched during a flick operation on the game screen shown in FIG. A confirmation message is displayed between the hand tile area HA and the river area RV, which is composed of a character string confirming whether or not to perform the execution, an icon that accepts the execution operation, and an icon that accepts the cancel operation. (See Figure 10).

Note that, for example, when 10,000 tiles, 40,000 tiles, and 60,000 tiles are lined up in the hand tile area HA, the number of shantens also decreases when 40,000 tiles or 60,000 tiles are touched. For this reason, if either one of the 40,000 tiles and 60,000 tiles is touched and the advantage of that tile is the minimum, a confirmation message is displayed on the touch screen 15.

Here, when the icon that accepts the cancel operation is touched, the discarding of tiles targeted at the touched tile is canceled. On the other hand, when the icon that accepts the execution operation is touched, a discard tile is executed targeting the touched tiles.

Tsumo tiles are placed in the hand after the hand tiles are discarded. Specifically, the hand tiles are rearranged so that the corresponding Tsumo tile is displayed in a position according to the classification of the Tsumo tile (for number tiles, the position where the Tsumo tile is arranged in the order according to the number within the same classification) It will be done. For example, in the game screen shown in Figure 9(A), if the Santsutsu tiles are discarded, the Shichiman tiles to the Kuman tiles are moved to the right, and the Goman tiles are placed in the gap created by this (Fig. 9 (see B).

Note that if the tile touched during the flick operation is a Tsumo tile (50,000 tiles in the example of FIG. Discarding of tiles is executed unconditionally. That is, since the Tsumo tile is displayed at a position a little apart from the hand tile and there is a low possibility that the touch operation is erroneous, the discarding tile targeting the Tsumo tile is executed unconditionally. In this case, the tiles in hand are not rearranged. This reduces the processing load.

On the other hand, in a game, if a long tap operation is performed on any tile (hand tile or Tsumo tile) displayed in the hand tile area HA, the lower end of the river area RV A guide frame (predetermined guideline) GF is displayed nearby, and the tile targeted by the long tap operation is enlarged and displayed above the hand tile area HA, that is, on the river area RV side. Note that the D-shaped figure on the game screen in FIG. 11(A) indicates the position of the long tap operation.

When the touched position is moved horizontally within the hand tile area HA for a long tap operation, the display of the tile that was touched before the movement is returned to the normal display, and the currently touched tile is moved to the hand It is enlarged and displayed above the tile area HA, that is, on the river area RV side (see FIG. 11(B)). Also, by moving the touched position for a long tap operation into an area below the hand tile area HA and moving it laterally, the tiles located vertically to the touch position can be moved to the hand tile area. It is enlarged and displayed above the area HA, that is, on the river area RV side.

When the touch operation is canceled after moving the touch position to the river area RV, that is, when a drag-and-drop operation is performed on the enlarged tile, a discard tile targeting the tile is executed. The enlarged tiles are moved from the hand tile area HA to the river area RV and are displayed in a reduced size. When a drag and drop operation is performed, time is secured to visually determine that the discarded tile candidate has not been selected by mistake during the drag operation, and as a result, it is confirmed that the discarded tile candidate is not incorrectly selected. Since there is a high probability that it has been confirmed, the process of identifying advantage points is not executed. This makes it possible to reduce the processing load.

(About operation)
The control unit 110 of the user terminal 100 operated by the user playing the host role executes the administrator-side game process shown in FIG. 5 in accordance with the administrator-side program. Further, the control unit 110 of the user terminal 100 operated by each user executes the user-side game processing shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 according to the user-side program. Note that the administrator-side game processing shown in FIG. 5 may be executed by the game server 200, and the processing results may be transmitted to each user terminal 100.

Referring to FIG. 5, in step S01, a tile pile consisting of about 136 tiles is constructed, and in step S02, 13 tiles are dealt to each of the four users playing the game. The type of tiles dealt corresponds to the type of character operated by each of the four users. When the tile dealing is completed, the process proceeds to step S03, and the game proceeds while determining the order of tiles drawn among the four users.

In step S04, it is determined whether any of the four users has won or whether the current game has been a loss. If it is not determined that one of the users has won or the current game is a lost game, the process returns to step S03. On the other hand, if it is determined that one of the users has won or the current game has been lost, settlement is performed in step S05. For example, a user who declares a winning hand is given points according to the winning hand. In addition, when the winning hand goes up in front of the gate, if the tiles making up the winning hand include a dora tile, the points awarded will be increased. The current administrator-side game process ends after the process in step S05.

Referring to FIG. 6, in step S11, a game screen shown in FIG. 9(A) is displayed on touch screen 15. In step S12, the tiles dealt to the user in the process of step S01 are displayed in the hand tile area HA of the game screen. In the hand tile area HA, 13 hand tiles are displayed for each tile classification (Manko tiles, Tsutsuko tiles, Sakuko tiles, and character tiles). In step S13, it is determined whether or not the user's turn has arrived based on the processing result of step S03, and if it is determined that the user's turn has arrived, the process advances to step S14.

In step S14, tiles are picked from the tile pile constructed by the processing in step S01, and the picked tiles are displayed at the right end of the hand tile area HA. In step S15, the number of tiles displayed in the hand tile area HA is specified, and the number of tiles is registered in the number register 301 of tiles.

In step S16, by comparing the combination of tiles that establish each of the plurality of types of hands with the combination of tiles displayed in the hand tile area HA, the combination of tiles on the hand tile area HA is determined. Determine whether it is true. When it is determined that the winning combination has been established, the process proceeds to step S17, and it is determined based on the operation input on the touch screen 15 whether or not the user has performed an operation to declare that the winning combination is up or that the winning combination is up. If it is determined that the operation to declare the winnings or winnings has been carried out, the process proceeds to step S18, and the administrator program is notified of the winnings or winnings. The notification includes the type of winning (long/tsum), the winning combination, and the combination of tiles that make up the winning combination. The user-side game processing ends after the notification.

If it is not determined in step S16 that a winning combination has been established, or if it is not determined in step S17 that an operation to declare a win has been performed, the process advances to step S19. In step S19, it is determined based on the operation input on the touch screen 15 whether or not an operation to declare a side exposure or a reach is performed. When it is determined that an operation to declare a side dew or reach has been performed, a process corresponding to the operation is executed in step S20. When the process in step S20 is completed, the administrator program is notified of the completion of the process in step S21, and then the process returns to step S13.

If it is determined in step S19 that no operation has been performed to declare sub-dew or reach, the process advances to step S22. In step S22, it is determined based on the operation input to the touch screen 15 whether a touch operation has been performed on any one of the hand tiles and the Tsumo tiles displayed in the hand tile area HA.

When it is determined that the touch operation has not been performed, the process returns to step S16, and when it is determined that the touch operation has been performed, the process proceeds to step S23. In step S23, it is determined whether the touch operation constitutes a flick operation based on the operation input to the touch screen 15.

When it is determined that the touch operation is a touch operation that constitutes a flick operation, the process advances to step S24. In step S24, it is determined whether the touched tile is a hand tile or not based on the operation input to the touch screen 15. When it is determined that the touched tile is a hand tile, the process advances to step S25, and when it is not determined that the touched tile is a hand tile, the process advances to step S46.

In step S25, among the hand tiles displayed in the hand tile area HA, the touched hand tile, the hand tile to the right of the touched hand tile, and the hand to the left of the touched hand tile. The three hand tiles with the tile are registered in the discarded tile management table 302. At this time, the advantage points of each of the three hand tiles are set to 0.

For example, on the game screen shown in FIG. 9(A), when a three-piece tile displayed in the hand tile area HA is touched, the three-piece tile, the five-piece tile on the right, and the nine-piece on the left are touched. The three tiles with 10,000 tiles are registered in the discard tile management table 302, and the advantage points of each of the three tiles are set to 0.

In step S26, one of the three hand tiles registered in the discarded tile management table 302 is designated. In step S27, it is determined whether the tile in hand is a dora tile or not based on the setting of the tile pile constructed in the process of step S01. When it is determined that the tile in hand is a dora tile, the process advances to step S28, and 1 is subtracted from the advantage point set for the tile in hand in the discarded tile management table 302.

For example, in the game screen shown in FIG. 9(A), 70,000 tiles are dora tiles. Therefore, when the 70,000 tiles are specified in step S26, the advantage point set for the 70,000 tiles in the discarded tile management table 302 is subtracted by 1.

When the process of step S28 is completed, the process advances to step S29. On the other hand, in step S27, if it is not determined that the hand tile is a dora tile, the process proceeds to step S29 without executing the process of step S28.

In step S29, the number of chanteuses is specified based on the hand tiles and Tsumo tiles remaining in the hand tile area HA after the hand tiles are discarded. In step S30, whether or not the number of chanters will go down (backward) when the hand tiles are discarded is determined by comparing the number of chanters identified in step S29 and the number of chanters registered in the chanter number register 301. judge.

If it is determined that the number of chanters will decrease if the tile is discarded, the process advances to step S31. In step S31, 1 is subtracted from the advantage point set for the tile in the discard tile management table 302. That is, when it is determined in step S30 that the Chanten number will go backward, a low degree of advantage is identified in step S31.

For example, in the game screen shown in FIG. 9(A), if any of the tiles from 30,000 tiles to 50,000 tiles and from 70,000 tiles to 90,000 tiles is discarded, the number of chants decreases. However, the 50,000 tiles are Tsumo tiles, and the processes of steps S26, S29, and S30 are not executed for the 50,000 tiles. Therefore, if the hand tile specified in step S26 is one of the 30,000 tiles, 40,000 tiles, 70,000 to 90,000 tiles, the advantage point set for the tile in hand is 1 will be subtracted.

When the process of step S31 is completed, the process advances to step S32. On the other hand, if it is not determined in step S30 that the number of chanters will decrease if the hand tile is discarded, the process proceeds to step S32 without executing the process of step S31.

In step S32, it is determined whether all three hand tiles registered in the discard tile management table 302 have been designated based on the processing result of step S26. If it is not determined that all three tiles have been designated, the process returns to step S26, and if it is determined that all three tiles have been designated, the process advances to step S33.

In step S33, it is determined whether the advantage points of the touched tiles in the hand are the minimum advantage points (that is, the advantage points are lower than when discarding a tile different from the touched tiles in the hand). Based on the discarded tile management table 302, it is determined whether or not the touched tile would be lower in a specific situation when it is discarded. When it is determined that the advantage point is the minimum advantage point, the process proceeds to step S34, and a confirmation message shown in FIG. 10 is displayed on the touch screen 15. According to FIG. 10, the confirmation message is composed of a character string that confirms whether or not to execute a discard tile targeting the touched tile, an icon that accepts an execution operation, and an icon that accepts a cancel operation. Ru.

Note that if the touched tile has the minimum advantage point, a confirmation message is displayed even if there is a tile with the same advantage point as the touched tile.

In step S35, it is determined based on the operation input to the touch screen 15 whether or not the icon that accepts the execution operation has been touched. If it is not determined that the icon that accepts the execution operation has been touched, the process advances to step S36. In step S36, it is determined based on the operation input to the touch screen 15 whether or not the icon that accepts the cancel operation has been touched. If it is not determined that the icon that accepts the cancel operation has been touched, the process returns to step S35.

If it is determined in step S36 that the icon that accepts the cancel operation has been touched, the process returns to step S16. The hand tiles and advantage points registered in the discarded tile management table 302 are updated by the process of step S25 when another hand tile is touched in the next flick operation. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S33 that the advantage point of the touched tile is not the minimum advantage point, or when it is determined in step S35 that the icon that accepts the execution operation has been touched. Then, the process advances to step S46.

In step S46, a discard tile is executed for the touched tile (Tsumo tile or hand tile). In step S47, the discarded tile is moved to the river area RV and displayed in a reduced size. In step S48, if the discarded tile is a hand tile, the hand tiles in the hand tile area HA are rearranged to fit the Tsumo tile into the hand tile. Specifically, the hand tiles are rearranged so that the corresponding Tsumo tile is displayed at a position according to the classification of the Tsumo tile. For example, in the game screen shown in FIG. 9(A), when the Santsutsu tiles are discarded, the Shichiman tiles to the Kyushu tiles are moved to the right, and the Goman tiles are thus placed in the gap provided. In step S49, the administrator program is notified of the completion of the process, and then the process returns to step S13.

In step S23, if it is not determined that the touch operation on the tiles displayed in the hand tile area HA is a touch operation constituting a flick operation, the touch operation is considered to be a long tap operation, and the process proceeds to step S37. move on. In other words, when a long tap operation is performed, the user takes time to check the tiles in his hand, and it is unlikely that the tile to be discarded is incorrectly selected, so the processes in steps S24 to S36 are performed. Omitted. This reduces the processing load.

In step S37, the guide frame GF is displayed on the touch screen 15, and in step S38, the touched tile is enlarged and displayed on the river area RV side. Therefore, in the game screen shown in FIG. 11(A), when a seven-tube tile is touched, the guide frame GF is displayed, and the touched tile is enlarged and displayed at a position above the touch position. Further, in the game screen shown in FIG. 11(B), when the five-tube tile is touched, the guide frame GF is displayed, and the touched tile is enlarged and displayed at a position above the touch position.

In step S39, it is determined whether the touch position has moved based on the operation input to the touch screen 15. When it is determined that the touch position has moved, the process proceeds to step S40, and it is determined whether the current touch position is within the lower area that extends to the lower part of the screen including the hand tile area HA.

If it is determined that the current touch position is within the lower area, the process proceeds to step S41, and the tile to be enlarged and displayed is changed to a tile located in the vertical direction of the touch position. When the change of tiles is completed, the process returns to step S39. Note that if it is not determined that the current touch position is within the lower area, the process returns to step S39 without executing the process of step S41.

Therefore, if the touch position is moved to the left while the seven-tube tile shown in FIG. The image is enlarged and displayed at a position above the position. Furthermore, if the touch position is moved to the right while the five-tube tile shown in Fig. 11(B) is enlarged, the five-tube tile is normally displayed in its original position, and the seven-tube tile on the right is touched. The image 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.

When it is determined in step S39 that the touch position has not moved, the process proceeds to step S42, and it is determined based on the operation input on the touch screen 15 whether the touch operation has been canceled. If it is not determined that the touch operation has been canceled, the process returns to step S39. On the other hand, when it is determined that the touch operation has been canceled, the process advances to step S43 and the guide frame GF is hidden.

In step S44, it is determined based on the operation input to the touch screen 15 whether or not the previous touch position is within the river area RV. If it is not determined that the last touched position is within the river area RV, the enlarged display of the tiles is ended in step S45, and then the process returns to step S16. As a result, the enlarged tiles are normally displayed at their original positions.

In step S44, when it is determined that the most recently touched position is within the river area RV, the process proceeds to step S46, where a discard tile is executed targeting the tile that was touched just before. That is, the discard tile is executed in response to a drag and drop operation on the enlarged tile. When the process in step S46 is completed, processes similar to those described above are executed in steps S47 to S49, and then the process returns to step S13.

<Effects of this embodiment>
According to the present embodiment, when any hand tile in the hand tile area HA is touched for a flick operation, the degree of advantage regarding the formation of a winning combination based on the combination of hand tiles is changed to the touched hand tile (specific tile). ) It is determined whether or not the specified situation is lower when the touched tile is discarded than when a tile (non-specific tile) different from the tile (non-specific tile) is discarded. When it is not determined that the specific situation occurs, a discard tile process is executed targeting the touched tile. On the other hand, when it is determined that the specific situation occurs, a specific process different from the discard tile process is executed.

When it is not determined that the specific situation occurs, the discard tile process is executed by a flick operation that is simpler than a long tap or the like, so that operability can be improved. In addition, when it is determined that the specific situation occurs, a specific process that is different from the discard tile process is executed, so we will do our best to prevent unintended tiles from being discarded due to user error, resulting in a game that is not intended by the user. can be avoided.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the degree of advantage regarding the formation of a hand based on the combination of tiles in hand when the touched hand tile is discarded, and the hand tile different from the touched hand tile (touched hand tile) Each of the tiles in the hand on the right and the tiles on the left, and if the Santsutsu tile is touched in Figure 9 (A), the tile on the hand when the five-tsutsu tile and the nine-man tile are discarded. The degree of advantage regarding the establishment of a winning combination based on the combination is specified, and it is determined whether or not the specific situation is reached based on the degree of advantage. Thereby, it is possible to objectively determine whether the user's touch operation is an erroneous operation.

Further, according to the present embodiment, when a winning combination is established in front of the gate, when the combination of tiles in hand includes a dora tile, a higher score is given to the user than when the combination of tiles in hand does not include a dora tile. However, if the touched tile is a dora tile, advantage points are subtracted. As a result, the operation of discarding a dora tile can be regarded as an erroneous operation by the user.

Further, according to the present embodiment, when the number of chants increases by discarding the touch tile, advantage points are subtracted. As a result, a discard tile operation that lowers the number of chanters can be regarded as a user's erroneous operation.

Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, if the touch operation on any tile in hand is maintained and the position of the touch operation is moved to the river area, the discarded tile is processed regardless of whether a specific situation occurs or not. is executed. In other words, if the touch operation is a drag-and-drop operation, it is assumed that the user has carefully considered the discarding tile operation, and the discarding tile process is executed regardless of whether or not the discarded tile results in a specific situation. Ru. This can prevent the specific process from being executed meaninglessly.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the specific process is a process for confirming with the user whether or not to perform the discard tile process. This allows the user to be prompted to cancel the erroneous operation.

<Modified example>
Modifications of the embodiment described above are listed below.

(1) In the above embodiment, when a flick operation is performed within the hand tile area HA, the hand tile touched by the touch operation that constitutes the flick operation and the hand to the right of the touched hand tile Advantage points are specified for three tiles: the tile and the tile on the left of the touched tile. However, if the hand tile to the right or the hand tile to the left is of a different classification from the touched tile (for example, the touched tile is a Tsutsuko tile, and the hand tile to the left is a Tsutsuko tile, (if the hand tiles are tiles), the identification of advantage points for the tiles of different classifications may be omitted. That is, the process of identifying advantage points may be executed for tiles that belong to the same classification as the touched tile. This can reduce the load on the process of determining whether a user's touch operation is an erroneous operation.

As in the above embodiment, advantage points are given to three hand tiles: the touched hand tile, the hand tile to the right of the touched hand tile, and the hand tile to the left of the touched hand tile. In addition to specifying the direction in which the tiles in the hand of the different classification are located, if the tiles in the hand to the left are of a different classification and the identification of advantage points for the tiles in the hand to the left is omitted, The advantage point may be specified by targeting two tiles that are arranged oppositely, that is, the tiles two tiles to the right of the touched tile. Similarly, if the tiles in the hand to the right are of a different classification and the identification of advantage points for the tiles in the hand to the right is omitted, target the tiles in the hand two tiles to the left of the touched tile. The advantageous points may be specified as follows. With this, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the accuracy of determining whether a user's touch operation is an erroneous operation.

Furthermore, in a situation where there is no hand tile of the same classification as the touched hand tile on the right or left side of the touched hand tile, if discarding the touched hand tile, the number of shanteng decreases, the A confirmation message may be displayed. Thereby, it is possible to reduce the possibility that a tile will be discarded due to a user's erroneous operation.

(2) In the above embodiment, the process is confirmed by an execution operation or a cancellation operation in response to the confirmation message shown in FIG. However, when no operation is performed for a predetermined period (3 seconds), a discard tile targeting the touched tile may be executed.

(3) In the above embodiment, the amount of reduction in advantage points is the same amount when the specified hand tile is a dora tile and when the number of chanteuses is reduced by discarding the specified hand tile. It is said that However, the amount by which the advantage point is reduced may be made different depending on whether the designated tile in hand is a dora tile or in the case where the number of chanteuses is decreased by discarding the designated tile in hand.

(4) In the above embodiment, a confirmation message is displayed when the advantage point of the touched tile is the minimum, but when displaying the confirmation message, the user terminal 100 It may also be made to vibrate.

(5) In the above embodiment, a battle is caused to take place between a character operated by the user and three characters operated by three other users. However, at least one of the three opponent characters may be an NPC (non-player character).

(6) In the embodiment described above, a vertically long game screen is displayed on the touch screen 15. However, instead of this, a horizontally long game screen may be displayed on the touch screen 15, or the display mode of the game screen may be switched between vertically and horizontally depending on the orientation of the user terminal 100. When switching the display format of the game screen between portrait and landscape, identify advantage points for multiple hand tiles, including the hand tile touched for flick operation, and check according to the value of the advantage points. The message display process may be turned on when displaying a vertically long game screen and turned off when displaying a horizontally long game screen, or it may be always turned on regardless of the display format of the game screen. You can also do this.

(7) In the above embodiment, when determining whether or not the user is about to discard an unintended tile, specifically, it is determined whether the tile is a dora tile or not, and the number of chants due to the discarding of the tile. We are trying to determine both whether the system is down or not. However, whether or not the user is about to discard an unintended tile can be determined by determining either whether the tile in question is a dora tile or not, and whether or not discarding the tile will reduce the number of chanteuses. , may be determined.

(8) In the above embodiment, each of the three hand tiles: the touched hand tile, the hand tile to the right of the touched hand tile, and the left hand tile to the left of the touched hand tile. The advantage point, that is, the priority order of the discarded tile is specified, and when the priority order specified for the touched tile is the lowest, a confirmation message is displayed. However, the priority order of discarded tiles is specified for all the hand tiles in the hand tile area HA, and when the priority of the discarded tile with respect to the touched hand tile is lower than a predetermined rank (for example, 3rd place or lower), a confirmation message is displayed. It may also be displayed.

(9) In the above embodiment, the confirmation message includes a character string that confirms whether or not to discard the tile that has been touched, an icon that accepts an execution operation, and an icon that accepts a cancel operation. Consisted of. However, one of the three hand tiles: the touched tile, the tile to the right of the touched tile, and the tile to the left of the touched tile, is discarded as a candidate. A cursor pointing as , and an icon for moving the cursor left and right may be added to the confirmation message, and the discarded tile candidate may be changed by touching the icon. This eliminates the need to execute the processes in steps S26 to S32 again, thereby reducing the processing load.

(10) In the above embodiment, when a flick operation is performed on a Tsumo tile, advantage points are not specified for the Tsumo tile. However, when a flick operation is performed on a Tsumo tile, the advantage points are specified for the Tsumo tile, and the advantage points are specified for the hand tiles that belong to the same classification as the Tsumo tile, and in this way, the advantage points are specified for the Tsumo tile. The discard tile may be executed based on the obtained advantage point. This can reduce the concern that the Tsumo tiles will be accidentally discarded on the spot.

(11) In the above embodiment, a mahjong game is assumed, but instead of this, a card game such as poker or old lady, or a Hanafuda game such as Koi Koi may be assumed. In this case, each card or Hanafuda card corresponds to identification information.

(12) In the above embodiment, advantage points are subtracted when the designated tile based on the touch operation is a dora tile, or when the number of chanteuses goes backwards when the designated tile is discarded ( (See steps S26 to S31 in FIG. 7). However, by referring to the user's hand tiles, discarded tiles in the field, and the user's and opponent's secondary tiles, effective tiles are determined from the perspective of tile efficiency until tenpai (such as tiles that increase the waiting time by being placed in the hand). Advantage points may also be subtracted when the number decreases. Note that a possible case where the number of valid tiles decreases is, for example, when the number of accepted tiles decreases, such as when there is no longer a wait for one side after waiting for both sides.

(13) In the above embodiment, if the touch operation on any tile in hand is maintained and the position of the touch operation moves to the river area, the discarded tile is processed regardless of whether a specific situation occurs or not. I am trying to execute it. However, not only when the user drags the tile to the river area, but also when the touch operation continues for a predetermined period of time (for example, 5 seconds), the discarded tile candidate specified by the touch operation may be the one that the user intended. It can be said that sufficient time has been secured to confirm whether the tiles are true or not. Therefore, when the touch operation continues for a predetermined period of time (for example, 5 seconds) or more, the discard tile process is executed for the discard tile candidate specified by the touch operation, regardless of whether a specific situation occurs or not. You can do it like this. In this case, the discarding tile process may be executed when the touch operation reaches a predetermined time even if the touch operation has not been canceled. It may also be executed when it is released.
