Hereinafter, a match 3 game rule-based match 3 puzzle game system according to embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

As used herein, the word game may include a game in which a Match 3 puzzle game system based on the GoToTop game rule according to the present embodiment is applied.

Referring to FIG. 1, a match-3 game-based match 3 puzzle game system according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The match-3 game rule-based match 3 puzzle game system 100 according to the present embodiment includes a block generator 110 for generating a plurality of blocks in which images of different fireplaces are displayed, The game progress unit 120 sets a matching condition on the basis of the score system of the GoToTop game and sets a group of blocks corresponding to the matching condition .

Generally, a Match 3 puzzle game is deleted when three or more blocks of the same type are matched horizontally or vertically, and the blocks implemented in the game can be implemented as various types of blocks.

In this embodiment, the blocks generated by the block generator 110 may be various types of blocks displayed with images of fireworks, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and it is possible to further generate another type of blocks such as a bomb block. Details of this will be described later.

The game progress unit 120 can perform the overall progress of the match 3 puzzle game. The game progress unit 120 starts the game at the request of the client, sets matching conditions based on the score system of the go-ahead game, The game is progressed in such a manner that the corresponding block group is deleted, and the score of the result at the end of the game can be summed and transmitted to the client.

To this end, the game progress unit 120 may include a game map management unit 121 for generating a puzzle map, a moving unit 122 for moving a block, and a score management unit 123 for calculating a result score.

The game map management unit 121 can generate a puzzle map by randomly arranging a plurality of blocks generated by the block generation unit 110. [ The puzzle map may be a form in which the blocks are arranged in N blocks in the horizontal and vertical directions, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The number of blocks arranged in the horizontal and vertical directions may vary depending on difficulty or setting. In addition, blocks for obstacles or features that may limit the movement of blocks within the puzzle map may be further added, and one puzzle map may include a plurality of sub-puzzle maps.

The block moving unit 122 may move the first block arranged in the first area of the puzzle map to the second area corresponding to the input signal received by the client. The movement distance of the block may be shifted one by one from top to bottom, from left to right in the original positioned area, or may be moved directly to an arbitrary area as described above.

The score management unit 123 may calculate a score reflecting the weighting value in accordance with the matching condition. In the present embodiment, the game progress unit 120 may set the matching condition based on a score system that can acquire scores in the gusto game, the first stage, the first stage, the red stage, the grotto, and the light. However, Matching conditions can be determined using a variety of scoring methods. In addition, when the block group is deleted, the score management unit 123 can calculate the score by applying the weights differentially according to the matching condition corresponding to the block group.

In some other embodiments, the score management unit 123 may calculate the regional ranking based on the score for each region, and may apply the weights differently according to the client's connection location or the location information set from the client. For example, a low weight can be given to a region with a large number of users, and a high weight can be given to a region having a small number of users, thereby preventing a bias to a specific region.

In some other embodiments, the Match 3 puzzle game system 100 based on the GoToTop game rule according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include an event management unit 130 for generating event information.

Specifically, the event management unit 130 may generate event information by applying rules such as first, second, third, etc. of the go-top game to determine whether the match 3 puzzle game is further progressed. If the specific match condition is satisfied It can be determined that the event information has been achieved, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In addition, if the event information is not achieved, a penalty score can be given to prevent an unconditional mission progress according to whether the client is selected or not, and a higher weight is given to each event information to compensate for the penalty risk have.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, various types of blocks generated in the block generator of FIG. 1 are shown.

As shown in FIG. 2, the blocks generated by the block generating unit may be classified into five different types in which images of the fireworks are displayed.

That is, in this embodiment, the block includes a light type block 10 corresponding to the light of fire, a bright type block 20 corresponding to the bright band, a bright type block 30 corresponding to the red band, A block 40, and a new type block 50 corresponding to a tile in which a bird is drawn in a clean manner. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

The optical type block 10 includes one optical block 11, three optical blocks 12, and 8 corresponding to the five types of light included in January, March, August, November, An optical block 13, 11 optical blocks 14 and 12 optical blocks 15, as shown in FIG.

Similarly, the blueprint type block 20 includes three different blueprint blocks 21, 22, and 23 included in June, September, and October of the fire fighting game, And the first stage block 40 includes three different types of first stage blocks 41, 42, and 43 included in April, May, and July, 42 and 43 and the new type block 50 may include three different blocks 51, 52 and 53 included in February, April and August, but is not limited thereto.

In a basic game progress method, if three or more blocks of the same type are matched horizontally or vertically, the matched block group is deleted. For example, if three or more optical blocks 11 are matched, the matched block group is deleted, and even if one of the eight optical blocks 13 and the twelve optical blocks 15 are matched, Condition can be set.

On the other hand, the matching condition may be changed depending on the type of block included in the block group matched with the block of the same type. For example, even if the red block 30 of the same type is matched, if the first red block 31, the second red block 32, and the third red block 33 are all included in the deleted block group A point of addition may be given. Likewise, if all of the five different kinds of optical blocks 11 to 15 are included, another addition point can be given. Accordingly, even if the user matches the blocks of the same type, it is possible to acquire a different score depending on the type of the block to be matched, and thus, the expanded content can be provided more than the basic match 3 puzzle game.

The game progress section can set a matching condition corresponding to the number of cases in which combinations can be made based on a plurality of blocks in which images of different fireplaces are displayed. As described above, the matching condition to be set can be determined based on the score system of the GoToTop game. For example, the game according to the present embodiment may be classified into a bright type type block, a bright type type block, a new type type, a light type type, and a light type type, as in the case where a score is obtained when a fire fighting corresponding to a bright red, It may be deleted if it is matched three or more horizontally or vertically, but is not limited thereto.

In addition, even in the same block type block, the matching condition can be varied depending on the type of blind block, and the score obtained corresponding to the matching condition can also be varied.

Even if a complicated scoring system is applied due to various matching methods, a user who knows the score system of the existing go-top game can know the score acquisition method of the match 3 puzzle game according to the present embodiment without any additional learning.

As shown in FIG. 3, in addition to the blocks corresponding to the above-described fireworks, the block generator may further generate various blocks that can help the game progress.

The bomb type block 60 may be created by repeatedly performing certain matching conditions, and the types of bomb blocks may perform different functions.

For example, when the blocks of the red, blue, and first ends are matched a predetermined number of times, the band bombs 61 may be generated. When the band bombs 61 are selected, All blocks can be removed. Similarly, if a new type of block is matched a predetermined number of times, a new bomb 62 can be generated, and if a new bomb 62 is selected, all the blocks arranged vertically from the position where the new bomb 62 is placed can be removed have. Matching the optical type blocks a predetermined number of times may generate a light bomb 63 and selecting all the light bombs 63 may remove all light type blocks in the puzzle map, (61) and the new bomb (62) may also perform different functions or the same functions depending on the game environment, user settings, and the like.

The coin type block 70 may be divided into a first coin block 71 for increasing a coin obtaining amount in matching and a second coin block 72 for extending a game remaining time for a predetermined time in matching, A coin type block 70 capable of performing various additional functions may be further generated. The coins obtained in the game can serve as a kind of point for purchasing items in the game, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

Referring to FIGS. 4 and 6, a basic game method of a match 3 puzzle game to which the system of FIG. 1 is applied is shown.

As shown in FIG. 4, when one optical block 11 is moved to a region where the third new block 53 is disposed, three optical type blocks are vertically connected to remove the block. Accordingly, the client can select the first area in which one optical block 11 is disposed, and transmit the input signal to the second area in which the third new block is disposed.

Basically, the movement of the block may be such that the position of the block is shifted from the position of the block to be moved. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the movement of the block may be performed by performing a position exchange process with other blocks disposed on the movement path have.

For example, in order for one optical block 11 to move to the position of the third new block 53, the first optical block 11 passes first through the area where the second first block 42 is disposed, And may be moved to the position of the third new block 53 after passing through the arranged area.

Therefore, mutual position exchange between one optical block 11 and the second first-stage block 42 can be performed first. When one optical block 11 is moved to a region where the existing second second stage block 42 is disposed, the position conversion process with respect to the third green block 23 can be performed. Finally, one optical block moved to the position of the third blind block 23 can finally be moved to a desired position through positional conversion with the third new block 53.

5, when one optical block 11 moves to the position of the existing third new block 53, the second first-stage block is moved to the position of the first one optical block 11 The third blind block 23 moves to the position of the first second blind block 42 and the third new block can move to the position of the first third blind block 23 moved to the right.

As shown in FIG. 6, when the matching condition based on the first-stage type block 40 is satisfied, that is, when two third-first-stage blocks 43_1 and 43_2 match one first-first-stage block 41_1, May be deleted, and the deleted block group is left as an empty space. For the game progress, the puzzle map can be rearranged while other blocks in the puzzle map fill the empty space. In this embodiment, the blocks located above the deleted block may fill the empty space in order, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the empty space of the deleted block group may be filled in various ways.

When the matched block group is deleted, the block generator generates a block corresponding to the number of deleted blocks at random and transmits the block to the game map management unit. The received new block is rearranged in the puzzle map to continue the game have. In this embodiment, the block generator may generate three blocks 23, 41_2, and 13 corresponding to the number of deleted three blocks 43_1, 41_1, and 43_2.

On the other hand, if the first-stage type block 40 is deleted by the matching condition, gages can be accumulated in the band bomb gauges 65, and if the gauges are filled, band bombs 61 can be generated and placed in the puzzle map . As described above, the band bomb 61 only removes all the blocks arranged horizontally on the basis of the band bomb 61, so that the time limit during the effect time when the bomb is blown does not decrease, However, the function of the band bomb 61 is not limited to the above-described contents.

Referring to FIG. 7, there is shown a schematic flow of performing a game in one embodiment in which the system of FIG. 1 is applied.

First, the block generator generates a plurality of blocks displaying images of fireworks, and the game map manager receives the game blocks and generates a puzzle map in which a plurality of blocks are randomly arranged (S11). As described above, the plurality of blocks includes a block having a plurality of types such as an optical type block, a blind type block, and the like, and may further include a bomb block and coin blocks.

When the game starts, the game can be performed by moving the block based on the input signal received from the client (S12). The first block arranged in the first area of the puzzle map may be moved to the second area and the process of mutual position exchange between the blocks may further be carried out.

When the block is moved, the game progress unit may delete a block group corresponding to a predetermined matching condition among the blocks arranged in the puzzle map (S13). The matching conditions can be set based on the score system of the GoToTop game. In the present embodiment, the matching conditions include a first matching condition in which three or more blocks of the same type are connected horizontally or vertically, and a first matching condition in which blocks of the same type connected are composed of three different blocks The second matching condition and the third matching condition in which five different types of optical blocks are vertically or horizontally connected to each other may be included, but the present invention is not limited thereto and may include various matching conditions corresponding to the fastest scoring system can do.

The game progress unit may continue the game if the limit time is not exceeded by the set time limit (S14), and may query the client whether the event information is performed when the time limit is exceeded (S15).

The event information is a kind of additional mission corresponding to the high-stop of the go-top game. When the client wishes to execute the event information, it determines whether the specific matching condition included in the event information is achieved within a predetermined period of time and determines success or failure .

Finally, a step (S16) of calculating a score reflecting the weight or penalty can be performed. As described above, the weights can be applied differently in correspondence with the regions to which the client is connected or set, and additional points or penalties may be assigned in accordance with the event attainment and the matching condition.

8 to 11, a game progress method according to event information is shown in another embodiment to which the system of the present invention is applied.

As shown in FIG. 8, when the game is progressed (S21) and the time limit is terminated (S22), the first event can be generated in the event generation unit. The client may further perform a game for achieving a specific matching condition for a predetermined time (1) if the first event is to be performed or not, and if the first event is not performed, The game is terminated without a separate point or penalty score (S32).

When the first event is performed (S24) and the specific matching condition is achieved, the second event is generated and the client asks whether or not the second event is performed (S25). Similarly to the first event, (S26). If the second event is rejected, a score reflecting the added point of the first event may be calculated and the game may be terminated (S32).

On the other hand, if the first event is not performed (S24) and the specific matching condition is not achieved within the time limit (1 failure), a concept similar to that of the fastest game is applied and a penalty for subtracting the obtained score is given S31).

When the second event is further achieved after the first event, that is, the first event is achieved, the third event, that is, the third event is generated (S27), the client determines whether or not the third event is performed, (S28). If the game is successful, a game in which a special weight is reflected for a predetermined time may be further performed to obtain more points (S29). Finally, when the three high missions are achieved, all of the weights for the first, second, and third missions are applied, and the score that reflects the acquired score during the additional time can be calculated (S32).

On the other hand, if a miss is missed, as in the case of a 1 miss mission failure, the penalty for each failure can be reflected in the result score.

As shown in FIG. 9, if the general time limit is exhausted, the event management unit can generate a first event, which is the first event information, to inquire whether the client is performing or not. If the client accepts the first event information, 81), that is, one high mission can be shown in the game.

If the first high mission is a condition for matching four or more high end blocks, the client matches the high end type blocks 30 within a predetermined time separately for performing one high mission to achieve one high mission.

As shown in FIG. 10, when the first, second, and third missions are performed, the contents of the mission 83 and the popup windows 91 and 92 asking whether to perform the mission can be transmitted to the client. have.

In some other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 11, the game according to the present embodiment may include another event information 84 that considers a failed specific event as a success when a specific event fails, that is, ) Can be further generated. For example, if a user scored a high score and is likely to achieve a new record, he could perform a 3-mission, which could double the number of points earned. At this time, if the third mission fails, the virtual currency is subtracted (94) to be considered to have passed or attained the mission.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, You will understand. It is therefore to be understood that the above-described embodiments are illustrative in all aspects and not restrictive.
