The game client accesses the channel list server 120 to display a channel list provided by the channel list server 120. When the user selects one channel from the channel list, the game client accesses the game server 140 corresponding to the selected channel. Do your game. The game client receives data necessary for game play from the game server 140 and displays a game screen based on the game screen on the user terminal 300.

The web server 110 provides a game related web page to the user terminal 300 to provide an online shooting game to the user. In the web page provided by the web server 110, operations such as membership registration, user authentication processing, and game start may be performed. In addition, the web server 110 provides information necessary for the game client to access the channel list server 120 and the game server 140, and if the game client is not installed in the user terminal 300, the game client is installed. If the game client is an old version, the game client is updated to the new version. Of course, the game client may be downloaded by a dedicated download server (not shown) rather than the web server 110.

The database 130 stores various kinds of information necessary for providing the online shooting game to the user, and at the request of the web server 110, the channel list server 120, and the game server 140, they 110, 120, 140. ). Such information includes game client execution related information, channel related information, game room related information, user information, and game information.

The game client execution related information includes information required to execute the game client, such as the game version, the IP address of the game server 140, and the like. The channel related information includes a channel list, the maximum number of users who can access each channel, the number of users currently connected, and which user is currently connected to each channel. The game room related information includes a list of game rooms opened for each channel and information about which user enters each game room. The user information includes a user identifier, an alias, an avatar, a rank, a record, information on a game money held by the user, and user access information on which game server 140 the user is currently connected to. Game information includes the fighter and the fighter's stamina and stats used in the game, item information, and the like.

Although only one database 130 is shown in FIG. 1, a separate database may be constructed according to the stored information.

The channel list server 120 provides a game channel list to the game client by referring to the database 130 according to the shooting game service request received from the game client. In addition, the channel list server 120 may provide the game client with the number of users connected by each channel and the maximum number of accessible users by each channel.

Referring to FIG. 2, the game server 140 includes a channel management module 142, an information transmission module 144, and a game progress module 146. The game server 140 may communicate with a game client to allow users to play an online shooting game. Make sure

The channel management module 142 notifies the database 130 when the user accesses the game server 140 so that the database 130 updates the user access information. The channel management module 142 refers to the corresponding game server (see FIG. A list of game rooms established at 140 and the current state of each game room, that is, state information on how many users are participating in the garden of the game room, are provided to the game client. The game room refers to a cyber space where a shooting game is independently performed, and one game channel corresponding to one game server 140 includes a plurality of game rooms. The user may create a game room or participate in the game room. Accordingly, the channel management module 142 reflects the information about the game room in the database 130.

In the present embodiment, the channel management module 142 is described as being included in the game server 140, but the channel management module 142 and the channel list server 120 of each game server 140 are collected to form a single channel server. It may be implemented by (not shown).

When the game client accesses the game server 140, the information transmission module 144 provides the game client with information about a user who is connected to the game channel. Some of the user information, for example, a user identifier, an avatar, and a rank may be provided first, and the remaining detailed information may be provided when a user requests it separately. In addition, the information transmission module 144 may provide chat data to the game client so that users can chat with each other.

When the user enters the game room and requests a game start, the game progress module 146 provides the user terminal 300 with information necessary for game progress, exchanges data with the game client based on the user's operation, and according to a predetermined method. Proceed online shooting game. When the game is finished, the user participating in the game is rewarded according to the game's winning or ranking, and based on this, the user information of each user stored in the database 130 is updated.

Although the game server 140 has been described as including three modules 142, 144, and 146 in the present embodiment, the three modules may be functionally integrated or separated from each other. It may consist of one or more modules instead of two.

Hereinafter, an online game method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 to 8.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an online game method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, a user first accesses an online game system 100 through a user terminal 300 to execute a game (S310). Then, the online game system 100 provides a plurality of game channels and a plurality of game rooms to the user (S320), and the user enters the game channel and the game room (S330). Game channels are classified according to rank, and each user can enter a channel that matches his rank. The game channel also includes a quest channel for performing a game by performing a given mission, a free channel for entering a rank regardless, and a survival channel for the final survivor of the game player to win. A user may enter a game room created by another user. In addition, the user can create a game room directly and wait for the position of other users. The user who creates the game room becomes the owner.

The owner may select a game option such as the maximum number of games, a game map, and a game type that can participate in the game room (S340), and the user who participates in the game room may select which team belongs to the game type if the game is before the team. The owner may select a specific game map or a random map. The layout of the feature varies according to the game map, and the location of the AA gun attacking the fighter may vary. The game type includes individual battles in which each user participating in the game room has individual battles, and team battles in which teams battle with opposing teams such as 2: 2 and 3: 3.

When the master requests a game start by pressing a game start button (S350), the online game system 100 transmits information necessary for game progress, including information corresponding to the selected map, to each user terminal 300 (S360). Each user performs a game (S370).

Each user terminal 300 exchanges game data with each other and performs a game. The game data includes location information, physical fitness information, etc. of the fighter of each game player. The location information may be coordinate information in a three-dimensional space. In addition, the user terminal 300 may exchange predetermined game data with the game system 100.

When the game starts, a game screen as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the user terminal 300.

4 is a diagram schematically showing an example of an online game screen according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As illustrated in FIG. 4, a fighter 410 controlled by a user is displayed at the center of the game screen, and is displayed on the game screen when the fighter 450 controlled by another user meets a predetermined condition. Hereinafter, the fighter displayed on the center of the game screen and controlled by the user is referred to as the moving object 410, and the fighter controlled by another user is referred to as the object 450. The object 450 includes enemy fighters and friendly fighters.

The moving object 410 flies in three-dimensional space according to a user's movement command, and fires an attack item (not shown) such as a bullet or missile to inflict damage to an enemy fighter among the objects 450 displayed on the game screen. Shoot down. Above the moving object 410 is displayed a crosshair 415 indicating where the attack item is to be launched. The user may damage the enemy fighter by aiming the crosshair 415 at the enemy fighter and firing the attack item.

At this time, the left and right wings of the movable body 410 may be equipped with a primary weapon (not shown) corresponding to the main weapon and a secondary weapon (not shown) corresponding to the auxiliary weapon.

The primary weapon includes fire attack items such as a cannon, a double gun, a blaster gun, and a blaster gun that can be fired continuously for a certain time. The cannon has a short range but can fire at high speed, and the fired bullets are concentrated in one place to form a point of impact. Blaster guns or blaster guns are weapons in which bullets are scattered to a certain range to reach an impact point, and the blaster guns are wider than the blaster guns.

Secondary weapons include one-shot items such as rail guns, ultra-rail guns, plasma guns, guided missiles, and high-speed missiles that can be re-launched after a certain time after launch. Rail guns have a narrower hit range, longer range and greater destructive power, and Ultra Rail guns have more destructive power than rail guns and take longer to reload. In addition, guided missiles are aimed at the crosshair 415 to chase after enemy enemy fighters that are locked in a lock-on state. Plasma guns fire small energy bullets and have great destructive power, but they are slow to fire, and can collect and fire multiple energy bullets at once, which will explode after a locked-on enemy fighter like a guided missile. High-speed missiles are similar to plasma guns, but they fire faster.

Each primary and secondary weapon has its own range and the secondary weapon range is 3500-6000, which is longer than the primary weapon range 1000-2000. For example, the cannon is 1200, the plasma gun is 4000, and the rail gun is 5000.

Crosshair 415 includes aiming point 415a, primary weapon gauge 415b, and secondary weapon gauge 415c. Aim point 415a is located at the center of crosshair 415 and indicates where the primary and secondary weapons are fired. The primary and secondary weapon gauges 415b and 415c are circular in symmetry with respect to the aiming point 415a, and provide information on the availability and availability of primary and secondary weapons, respectively, on the remaining bullets. Use information about primary and secondary weapons, such as information about the unit.

The radar display window 420 is displayed at the lower left of the game screen. The radar display window 420 is displayed as a circle around the moving object 410, and the angle of the dotted line inside the radar display window 420 corresponds to the viewing angle currently displayed on the game screen. The moving object 410 and the object 450 are displayed on the radar display window 420 in a predetermined form. The object 450 positioned in the 3D space is projected onto the horizontal plane on which the moving object 410 is located, and is displayed on the radar display window 420 when the projected object 450 is within a predetermined distance from the moving object 410.

In the center of the radar display window 420, the moving object 410 is displayed as a triangle, and the object 450 located around the object is displayed as a rhombus. At this time, the direction of the upper vertex of the triangle is the same as the direction indicated by the crosshair 415 of the moving object 410. On the radar display window 420, not only the object 450 displayed on the game screen, that is, the object 450 within the viewing angle, but also an object not displayed on the game screen, facilitates the positional relationship between the moving object 410 and the object 450. I can figure it out.

The radar display window 420 may be displayed at any position such as the upper left, upper right, or lower right of the game screen, and the shapes of the moving object 410 and the object 450 displayed on the radar display window 420 may also be displayed as triangles and the like. You can do it differently from the rhombus.

Although not shown separately, the game screen may display a fixed feature such as a sky, the ground, an enemy base, a mountain, a river, a building, and the like, and the weapons and items that can be mounted on the mobile unit 410. This may be displayed, and an instrument panel indicating the stamina, flight speed, etc. of the moving object 410 may be displayed.

On the other hand, a predetermined mark, for example, a hidden mark, a far mark, an attackable mark, a lock-on mark, or the like is applied to the object 450 within the viewing angle. Although it can display, the method of displaying such a mark is demonstrated in detail with reference to FIG. 5 and FIG.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a method of displaying a predetermined mark on an object in a game screen according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a schematic view of a game screen displaying a predetermined mark on an object according to an embodiment of the present invention. Illustrated as shown.

Referring to FIG. 5, the user terminal 300 receives location information of an object 450 moving according to an operation of another user from another user terminal (S510). Of course, the user terminal 300 also transmits the location information of the mobile unit 410 to other user terminals so that other user terminals can display a predetermined mark. The user terminal 300 calculates the direction of the object 450 based on the moving object 410 based on the location information of the moving object 410 and the location information of the object 450, and the moving object 410 and the object 450. The distance between them is calculated (S515).

By referring to the calculated direction of the object 450, it is determined whether the object 450 is within the viewing angle of the moving object 410 (S520), and if it is not within the viewing angle, the operation is returned without displaying a predetermined mark on the object 450. If it is within the viewing angle, it is determined whether the object 450 is covered by the special feature (S525).

As a result of the determination in step S525, if the object 450 is covered by the special feature, the operation is returned without displaying a predetermined mark on the object 450, and if the object 450 is not covered, between the moving object 410 and the object 450. It is determined whether there is a general feature in (S530).

The special feature may be, for example, fog or clouds, and the object 450 obscured by the special feature is not captured by the radar, and thus is not displayed on the radar display window 420. In contrast, the object 450 hidden by the general feature is captured by the radar and is not possible to attack, but is indicated by a predetermined mark. General features include mountains, reefs, buildings, rock walls, water surface, and reefs.

As a result of the determination in step S530, if there is a general feature between the moving object 410 and the object 450, a hidden mark is displayed on the general feature covering the object 450 (S535). The hidden mark may be represented by a symbol, for example, and is displayed as small as possible on a general feature covering the object. Referring to FIG. 6, three objects hidden by the reef 470 are displayed as hidden marks 461 at the upper left of the game screen. As such, by displaying a hidden mark on the object 450 covered by the general feature, the location of the object 450 may be easily determined, and the object 450 may not be attacked. .

As a result of the determination in step S530, if there is no general feature between the moving object 410 and the object 450, the object 450 is mounted on the moving object 410 with reference to the distance between the object 450 and the moving object 410. It is determined whether the range is within the range of the secondary weapon (S540), and if it is not within the range, a far-field mark is displayed on the corresponding object 450 (S545). The far mark may be represented by, for example, a symbol ◇ and may be displayed so as to surround the object 450. Referring to FIG. 6, the far mark 463 is displayed on the object 453 displayed on the upper right side of the game screen. As such, by displaying a far-field mark on the object 450 that is outside the secondary weapon range, it may represent that the target 450 cannot be aimed at the secondary weapon.

If it is determined in step S540 that the object 450 is within range, it is determined whether the secondary weapon is an inducible weapon and the object 450 is aimed at the aim point 415a (S550) and if so, the corresponding object 450 The lock-on mark is displayed at (S560), otherwise, the attackable mark is displayed at the corresponding object 450 (S555), and the operation is returned.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the attackable mark 465 has a shape similar to an inverted triangle and surrounds the object 455, and the secondary weapon in which the object 455 is currently mounted on the moving object 410. A crosshair 415 may be aimed and attacked within a range of.

Hidden marks, ranged marks, and attackable marks are displayed in different colors according to the type of the object 450, and the colors of the marks are orange when the object 450 is an enemy fighter, and green when a friendly fighter, for example. can do.

On the other hand, when the secondary weapon is an inducible weapon and the attackable mark is displayed at the aiming point 415a, the attackable mark displayed on the object 450 is changed to a lock-on mark. When the lock-on mark is changed, a simple image effect may be displayed around the object 450 so that the user may easily know that the lock-on state has been entered. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the lock-on mark 467 may have the same shape or color as the attackable mark 465, or may be different in color. If the color of the attackable mark 465 is orange, the lock-on mark ( 467) may be red.

The lock-on mark is displayed for a lock-on duration (for example, 2 seconds), and when this time elapses, an attackable mark is displayed again, but only when the object 450 is within the secondary weapon range. In addition, the lock on mark is displayed only when the object 450 is an enemy fighter.

Even if the object 450 marked with the lock-on mark deviates from the crosshair 415, when the user fires the secondary weapon, the secondary weapon chases the object 450 and explodes. As such, by displaying the lock on mark, the object 450 may be in a state capable of being damaged by the secondary guided weapon.

Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the health and distance information 469 of the target objects 455 and 457 may be displayed under the attackable mark 465 and the lock-on mark 467, respectively. Either one may be displayed.

When the object 450 uses an item called 'stealth', the object 450 is not locked on. The object 450 using the stealth item may be identified by the naked eye on the game screen without being captured by the radar, but the hidden mark, the far mark, and the attackable mark are displayed on the object 450. However, a predetermined symbol (×) may be displayed inside the attackable mark to indicate that the lock cannot be turned on, and the stealth item may be displayed by displaying an image effect such that a wavelength flows around the object 450.

In addition, by displaying a predetermined letter, symbol, image, etc. for the enemy fighter that recently shot down his fighter during the engagement, it can indicate that the fighter is a rival, the user can attack the rival fighter more aggressively have.

As such, the user displays the predetermined mark on the object 450 and the feature covering the object 450 according to the position of the secondary weapon and the object 450 mounted on the moving object 410. ) And the positional relationship between the object 450 can be more easily understood, so that the user can be more immersed in the game to perform the game.

Next, a method of differently displaying the aiming point 415a of the crosshair 415 illustrated in FIG. 4 in relation to the primary weapon will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying a crosshair aim point associated with a primary weapon according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a game displaying a crosshair associated with a primary weapon according to an embodiment of the present invention. An exemplary view schematically showing a screen.

Referring to FIG. 7, the user terminal 300 receives location information of an object 450 moving according to another user's operation from another user terminal (S610). The user terminal 300 calculates the direction of the object 450 based on the moving object 410 based on the location information of the moving object 410 and the location information of the object 450, and the moving object 410 and the object 450. Calculate the distance between (S620).

Referring to the calculated direction of the object 450, it is determined whether the object 450 is within the viewing angle of the moving object 410 (S630), if it is not within the viewing angle, the operation is returned, and if it is within the viewing angle, the primary currently mounted on the moving object 410 is determined. It is determined whether the object 450 is within the range of the weapon (S640).

If it is determined in step S640 that the motion is not within the primary weapon range, the operation is returned, and if it is within the primary weapon range, the movement path of the object 450 is calculated (S650). The movement path may be calculated based on at least one previous position information and the current position information of the object 450, and the position to which the object 450 moves next may be predicted according to the calculated movement path.

Then, the primary weapon is fired to determine whether it is possible to hit the target 450 (S660). The ammunition of the fired primary weapon will travel along the line of sight, depending on the distance it takes. Therefore, in consideration of the bullet speed and the movement path of the object 450, it may be determined that the first weapon bullet fired and the moving object 450 may be hit if calculated to meet after a predetermined time elapses. If the hit is not possible, the operation is returned, and if the hit is possible, the aim point 415a of the crosshair 415 is enlarged and displayed (S670).
