If there is a next tile, the player will learn various roles by completing the role by sequentially performing the next discard from the hand tile. This is a screen mainly showing hand tiles, tiles, and discarded tiles. In addition, as the table of contents display, for example, a role beginner class that learns basic roles such as one conversion and two conversions, a role composite class that learns a combination of basic roles, and a special role such as a role full role or a rare role. A table of contents is displayed for each class such as a special contract for learning a role and a score class in consideration of a score condition, and the explanation display is a display for explaining each table of contents.

Next, the CPU 110 sets the cursor key 20
3 is pressed (step S403). When the cursor key 203 is pressed, the cursor is moved to the table of contents in the direction corresponding to the pressed cursor key 203 (step S404), and the cursor is positioned. The contents explanation display of the table of contents is performed (step S402).

At step S403, the cursor key 203
Is not pressed, the CPU 110 determines whether the end button 204 has been pressed,
It is checked whether the button 204 is pressed when is located at the end item, or whether the table of contents is selected by pressing the button 204 when the cursor is positioned at the learning item (steps S405 and S406). When the end button 204 is pressed, the hand learning mode process ends, and the process returns to step S110 in FIG. 4 to initialize the screen. In step S406, when the table of contents is selected by pressing the button 204, the CPU 110 determines the question data (for example, the tile distribution, the distribution of the tiles, the target, the evaluation data and the evaluation message, (Each data such as a help screen) is read (step S40).
7) After the opening of the professional Mahjong player in charge of guiding the hand learning of the selected item (step S408),
A target selection process for selecting a target in the hand learning of the selected item is performed (step S409). This goal is, for example, a degree of difficulty for performing the hand role learning while playing the mahjong game. That is, the difficulty in learning the hand of the selected item can be changed according to the selected target, for example,
Changing the difficulty of learning by placing the artificially combined tiles as the first tiles and processing the artificial tiles as the tiles according to the selected goal. Can be.

When the target is selected, CPU 110 displays the selected target on television monitor 300 (step S410), and checks whether continuation is selected (step S411). That is, by displaying the target, the player can select whether to continue or stop the hand learning with the target by using the button 204 of the controller 200, and when the stop is selected, the CPU 110 Returning to step S402, the same processing is performed from the table of contents display and the contents explanation display.

When the continuation is selected in step S411, a hand-hand learning process is performed (step S412). When the hand-hand learning process is completed, the process returns to step S409, and the same process is performed from the target selection.

This hand role learning process is performed as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. That is, when the CPU 110 enters the hand role learning process, first, after initializing the screen (step S421), the CPU 110 performs tile distribution (step S422). S42
3). The tiles and the tiles of Tsumo are tiles that are artificially selected from tiles suitable for performing the hand learning of the selected item.

Next, the CPU 110 displays a screen effect display of the tiles subjected to the tying process, for example, a screen display for distinguishing the tying tiles from the hand tiles already in hand (step S424). (Step S42)
5). This tile evaluation process is a process of, for example, displaying a screen when a face is formed by a tsumo tile, and evaluating whether or not the game is completed.

The CPU 110 checks whether or not the game has been completed (step S426). If the game has been completed, the CPU 110 displays the game completion on the television monitor 300 and displays the hand tile relationship (step S427). The CPU 110 further performs score calculation and displays the calculated score calculation result on the television monitor 300 (step S42).
8), the result of the hand learning is determined (step S42).
9) After displaying the result and the result of the judgment by the professional mahjong player on the television monitor 300, the hand role learning process ends (step S430). This score calculation is performed by adding and subtracting points according to the appropriateness of selection of tiles for creating a role, etc. depending on how to select tiles until the end of the match, etc. In accordance with this, the evaluation judgment of the result in the hand learning is performed.

If it is determined in step S426 that the winning combination has not been achieved and the winning combination has not been reached, the player does not go up.
For the first time, the CPU 110 may determine that the player is going up, that is, the end of the game, when the player plays the role of the target.

If it is determined in step S426 that the settlement has not been completed, the CPU 110 checks whether the cursor key 203 has been pressed as shown in FIG. 9 (step S43).
1) When the cursor key 203 is not pressed, it is checked whether the action menu is selected or the information processing is selected (step S432,
S433). If no information processing is selected in step S433, the CPU 110 proceeds to step S431
Returning to, processing is performed in the same manner as described above based on whether or not the cursor key 203 has been pressed.

When the information processing is selected in step S433, the CPU 110 displays, on the television monitor 300, guide information of necessary operations on the screen and information of a learning mode related to the target combination. (Step S434), it is checked whether the button 204 has been pressed (Step S435). In step S435, button 2
When the button 04 is pressed, the CPU 110 determines that the information processing screen has ended, returns to step S431, and checks whether the cursor key 203 has been pressed, and performs the same processing as described above.

When the action menu is selected in step S432, the CPU 110 checks whether or not a reach declaration has been made (step S436). If a reach declaration has been made, the CPU 110 performs a reach declaration process and returns to step S431 (step S437). That is, also in the hand learning, the reach declaration can be made, and the learning of the reach declaration can be made. On the other hand, if it is not a reach declaration in step S436, the CPU 110 directly proceeds to step S43.
Returning to step 1, it is determined whether or not the cursor key 203 has been pressed, and the same processing is performed as described above.

At step S431, the cursor key 203
Is pressed, the CPU 110 moves the cursor in the direction corresponding to the pressed cursor key 203 to enable selection of a discarded tile candidate (step S438), and checks whether the button 204, which is the confirm button, has been pressed. (Step S439).

If the determination button 204 is not pressed in step S439, the CPU 110 proceeds to step S4.
Returning to 31, it is checked whether the cursor key 203 has been pressed, and the same processing is performed as described above. When the enter button 204 is pressed, the tile processing of discarding the tile of the hand tile where the cursor is located is performed ( In step S440, it is checked whether the station is a flow station (step S441).

If it is determined in step S441 that the tile is not a stream station, the CPU 110 deletes the selected tile from the hand tiles as a discarded tile and updates the hand tiles (step S4).
42), the process returns to step S423 shown in FIG. Therefore, the CPU 11
0 is to add a tile to the hand tile, display the screen effect of the tile (step S424), and evaluate the tile (step S424).
After performing step 425), it is checked whether or not the settlement is completed (step S426). When the settlement is not completed, the process returns to step S431 of FIG. 9 to select the discard tile with the cursor key 203 (step S431 to step S431). Step S440).

The CPU 110 discards the tiles in step S440 and checks whether it is a stream station (step S4).
41) If it is a stream, it is determined that the hand role could not be completed by the hand learning, and after the stream position is displayed (step S443), step S429 shown in FIG. 8 is performed.
Then, the process proceeds to the determination of the result.

Then, the CPU 110 could not complete the hand in the hand learning, but determined the progress of learning in the selection of discard tiles, and performed a result determination process (step S429). After the result and the judgment display are performed, the hand role learning process ends, and the process proceeds to the target selection process of step S409 in FIG. 7 (step S43).
0). That is, also in the case of a local station, a score is calculated for the selection result of discarded tiles up to the local station, a determination is made, and the determination result is displayed.

As described above, in the hand learning mode,
First, 14 tiles are distributed as hand tiles. When one tile is selected as a discard tile from the 14 hand tiles, the selected discard tile is discarded from the hand tile, and a new tile is placed. In addition to the hand tile as a tied tile, and the discarded tile of another opponent, added to the hand tile as a sounding tile. When it runs out, the procedure of discarding tiles, tsumo tiles, and squealing tiles is evaluated based on the history of tiles sequentially replaced by these discarded tiles, tsumo tiles, and squealing tiles. A predetermined evaluation can be performed on the selection of tiles and discarded tiles in the middle and the way of proceeding the game in the middle of the calling tiles, etc., and the pleasure of the mahjong game can be improved. Refer to the results to learn It is possible to improve the.

Next, the bonus game mode processing in step S500 in FIG. 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. The bonus game mode process is to add a score according to the manner of progress of mahjong, such as a result of selecting a discard tile, and evaluate the manner of progress of mahjong based on the obtained score.

In the bonus game mode processing, the CPU 110
First, as shown in FIG. 10, the screen is initialized,
The screen is set on the privilege game mode screen (step S501), and a table of contents and a description of contents are displayed (step S50).
2). The table of contents display includes an introduction to point games, a display of current points, and a table of contents for ending.

Next, the CPU 110 sets the cursor key 20

At step S503, the cursor key 203
When is not pressed, the CPU 110
It is checked whether 4 has been pressed (step S505),
If the button 204 has not been pressed, the process proceeds to step S50.
2, the same processing as above is performed. Step S505
When the button 204 is pressed, the CPU 110 determines whether the pressing of the button 204 is the end button 204,
It is checked whether the button 204 has been pressed in another table of contents (steps S506 to S508). That is, C
The PU 110 determines whether the cursor is moved to the end table of contents and the button 204 of the controller 200 is pressed (step S506), the cursor is moved to the point reference table of contents and the button 204 is pressed (step S507), or the cursor is played. Moved to table of contents and button 204
Is checked (step S508) and the like.
When the end button 204 is pressed, the CPU 110 ends the privilege game mode processing and proceeds to step S110 in FIG.
And the screen is initialized as described above.

When the button 204 is pressed when the cursor is positioned at the point reference table of contents (step S507), the CPU 110 loads the remaining points from the memory card 128 (step S509), and loads the remaining points. The details of the quantity are displayed on the television monitor 300 (step S510), and the process returns to step S502. In other words, the points acquired in the bonus game mode are:
The information is recorded on the memory card 128 for each player and loaded as needed.

When the button 204 is pressed while the cursor is positioned at the table of contents (step S50).
8), the CPU 110 sequentially performs an item setting selection process (step S511), a rule selection process (step S512), and an opponent selection process (step S513), displays the number of rounds (step S514), and then plays the game again. Wait for the user to select whether to perform or cancel (step S51)
5). That is, in the bonus game mode, the item for adding or subtracting points is set by default, and the player can select and set the item. In the item setting selecting process, the item for adding or subtracting this point is selected. The operation can be performed by operating the button 204 of the controller 200. The items to be added or subtracted are, for example, eating tongue, eating pin, reach one shot, mankan, dora tile, extended cottage condition, dobon, ranking point, yakitori (penal mark), crack, and the like. There are penalty marks for deafness, peace tsumo, dark Kong immediately after standing, etc. The rules include a ranking rule, a grilled chicken (penalty) rule, a split rule, a red tile rule, and the like.

If the end is selected instead of the game in step S515, the CPU 110 returns to step S502, processes the contents table display and the contents explanation display in the same manner as above, and if the game is selected in step S515. Then, the game processing is performed (step S516). As will be described later in detail, the CPU 110 displays the acquired points on the television monitor 300 during the game processing when the player acquires points in the game.

When the CPU 110 completes the game processing, the CPU 110 displays the result of the game in the game on the television monitor 300.
(Step S517), and then the details of the point situation at the time when the game is over are calculated and displayed on the television monitor 300 (step S51).
8). When displaying the point status details for a predetermined time or until the button 204 is pressed, the CPU 110 returns to step S514, and performs the same processing as described above from the display of the number of rounds.

The above-mentioned hanso game processing is carried out in accordance with FIG. 11 and FIG.
Is processed as shown in FIG. That is, the CPU 110
When the game starts, the screen is initialized (step S521), tiles are arranged, and then the tiles are processed and the tiles are displayed (step S522).

Next, the CPU 110 performs a screen effect display process of displaying the screen effect of the tile subjected to the dummy processing, for example, a dummy tile evaluation screen effect processing for distinguishing the dummy tile from the hand tile already in hand (step S523). (Step S524). In the case of the tile tile condition branch live broadcast processing, the live broadcast processing is performed by audio output or display output by appropriately selecting the live broadcast content divided into an external comment, an internal comment, and an announcement according to the fly tile. External comments are used in situations that are not related to Hanso. For example, external comments include the opening of each stage, introduction of the rules and passage conditions of this time, appearance of professional mahjong players, introduction of professional mahjong names This is a comment indicating the introduction of a noted professional mah-jong player, a comment on the seating / parenting, the start of a villa, the end of a villa (total table), the end of a stage, the closing of a stage, etc. The internal comment is used at the time other than the time of tile setting, such as at the time of distribution of tiles or at the time of completion. This is a comment indicating the result of the middle station. Furthermore, an announcement is an announcement used for the live broadcast processing during a tile, and as an announcement, for example, a regular announcement that announces a master's own model tile or a hand tile periodically, a discard by a master or a professional mahjong player, a reach, For Kang, Pong, Qi and Ming Kang,
Then, there is an interrupt announcement or the like which is executed by an interrupt at the moment of a victory or at the moment of a flow station.

Next, the CPU 110 sets the cursor key 20
3 is pressed (step S525). When the cursor key 203 is pressed, the cursor is moved in a direction corresponding to the pressed cursor key 203, and
A discard candidate is selected (step S526). When the cursor is moved to select a discard candidate, the CPU 110

When the cursor key 203 is pressed, the cursor is further moved in a direction corresponding to the pressed cursor key 203 to select a discard candidate, and it is checked whether the confirm button 204 has been pressed (step S525 to step S525). S527).

When the confirm button 204 is pressed in step S527, the CPU 110 performs a tile discarding process for treating the selected tile as a discarded tile (step S528), a special flow station check process (step S528), and a long check process. (Step S530), a squeal check process (Step S531) and a sea bottom (stream station) check process (Step S532) are sequentially performed, and then a lower house process is performed, and the process returns to Step S522 to perform a cross process and a cross tile display process. From the above (step S533).

If the cursor key 203 is not depressed in step S525, the CPU 110 checks whether the action menu has been selected, the information processing has been selected, or the hand tile evaluation has been selected. (Steps S534 to S536). When the selection of the hand tile evaluation is not performed in step S536,
The CPU 110 returns to step S525 in FIG.
Processing is performed in the same manner as described above based on whether or not the cursor key 203 has been pressed.

When the hand tile evaluation is selected in step S536, the CPU 110 evaluates the current hand tile and displays the result of the hand tile evaluation on the television monitor 300 (step S537). It is checked whether the button has been pressed (step S538). Step S53
8, when the button 204 is pressed, the CPU 110
It is determined that the hand-tile evaluation process has ended, and the flow shifts to step S525 in FIG. 11 to perform the same process as above from the determination whether the cursor key 203 has been pressed.

When the information processing is selected in step S535, the CPU 110 displays various information such as guide information, score information, rule information, and point status of necessary operations on the screen on the television monitor 300. Then, it is checked whether the button 204 has been pressed (step S540). When the button 204 is pressed in step S540, the CPU 110 determines that the information processing screen is to be ended, and proceeds to step S52 in FIG.
Returning to step 5, it is checked whether the cursor key 203 has been pressed, and the same processing is performed as described above.

When the action menu is selected in step S534, the CPU 110 checks whether it is a reach declaration, a can process, a settlement process, or a localization process (steps S541 to S544). In some cases, the process returns to step S525 in FIG. 11, and the same processing is performed as described above, from whether or not the cursor key 203 has been pressed. If the selected action menu is a reach declaration (step S541), the CPU 110 performs a reach declaration process, returns to step S525 in FIG. 11, and checks whether the cursor key 203 has been pressed, and performs the same processing as described above. If the selected action menu is the can process, the CPU 110 performs a can process, returns to step S525 in FIG. 11, and checks whether the cursor key 203 has been pressed to perform the same process as described above. Further, C
If it is the selected action menu termination processing, the PU 110 performs the termination processing, returns to step S525 in FIG. 11, and performs the same processing as described above from checking whether the cursor key 203 has been pressed. Further, if the selected action menu is the channeling process, the CPU 110 performs the channeling process, returns to step S525 of FIG.
Processing is performed in the same manner as described above, starting from checking whether 03 has been pressed.

As described above, in the bonus game mode,
First, 14 tiles are distributed as hand tiles. When one tile is selected as a discard tile from the 14 hand tiles, the selected discard tile is discarded from the hand tile, and a new tile is placed. In addition to the hand tile as a tsumo tile, the discarded tile of another opponent is added to the hand tile as a sounding tile, and the history information of the tiles sequentially replaced by these discarded tiles, the tsumo tile, and the sounding tile is recorded. When the tiles are in a combination pattern of tiles that should be raised, determine the rise, or if there are no more tiles, evaluate the procedure of discarded tiles, tiles, and call tiles based on the recorded history information and add points. doing. Therefore, it is possible to perform a predetermined evaluation not only when the player goes up, but also how to proceed with the game in the middle, such as selecting the last hand tile or the tile to be discarded, and calling tiles, etc., thereby improving the enjoyment of the mahjong game. At the same time, beginners of the mahjong game or mahjong itself can improve by referring to the evaluation results.

In the bonus game mode, when a combination pattern of tiles in which a hand tile is to be raised is set,
When the rise is determined or when there are no more tiles, the score set for each combination pattern of tiles to be raised is added up, and the procedures of discarded tiles, tiles and squealing tiles are evaluated based on the recorded history information. In addition, the score integrated based on the evaluation value is adjusted by adding or subtracting it. Therefore, it is possible to perform a predetermined evaluation not only when the player goes up, but also to select the last hand tile or the middle tile to be discarded and to proceed with the middle game such as a sound tile, and reflect the evaluation result as a score. In addition, the fun of the mahjong game can be further improved, and a beginner of the mahjong game and the mahjong itself can further improve by referring to the evaluation result.

Next, the tempai mahjong mode process in step S600 in FIG. 4 will be described with reference to FIG.
The tempai mahjong mode process is to add points according to how the mahjong rises, that is, the progress of selection of a raised hand or discard tile, etc., and according to the acquired points, the environment of the mahjong game in the tempai mahjong mode at the next game. By changing the settings, you can learn Mahjong and improve the fun of the game.
