1 is a diagram conceptually showing a configuration of a recording medium according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The recording medium 100 recording a program for executing game control according to an embodiment controls an object corresponding to the play timing and a timing indicator indicating the operation timing to be displayed on the game screen, and at least one of the object and the timing indicator The display control function 110 for controlling the output while moving in a preset direction, the receiving function 120 for receiving the user's input signal, and the relationship between the play timing and the operation timing, and the reception timing of the input signal. It may include a determination function 130 for determining whether or not the process is successful.

The display control function 110 may control a surface of a transparent polyhedron including a plurality of movement passages through which an object or a timing indicator moves to be displayed on a game screen. When a predetermined rotation instruction input is received, the display control function 110 may control the other side of the transparent polyhedron to be displayed on the game screen in response to the predetermined rotation instruction input. The display control function 110 may perform a function of controlling an object and a timing indicator included in the transparent polyhedron to be displayed in a transparent form through one surface displayed on the game screen.

The game provided by the recording medium 100 is a game in which a user inputs a specific operation according to the operation timing or operation position indicated by the elements displayed on the game screen, and confirms the result of the determination. . According to an example, such a game is a method in which, while music is being played, some of the components displayed on the game screen are displayed according to the flow of the music being played, so that the user plays or directs the music. It could be a game. Such games are referred to as music games, rhythm games, performance games, or directing games.

Referring to FIG. 1, the display control function 110 may control an object corresponding to a play timing and a timing indicator indicating an operation timing for the object to be displayed on a game screen.

In the present disclosure, an object is an object used for score determination in a rhythm game, etc., and according to an example, each object may be set to correspond to at least one of music output from the game or sounds constituting a rhythm. That is, each of the sounds constituting the music or rhythm output from the game has a play timing that is a timing point to be output, and each object may be set to map a play timing set to a corresponding sound. An object is a term including various meanings, and is a meaning that encompasses all terms such as indicators, indicators, targets, and notes, and is not limited by the name.

When displaying an object, the display control function 110 may display an object to be configured in various shapes and colors according to a setting. In addition, the display control function 110 may implement an object three-dimensionally and display the object three-dimensionally. According to an example, the display control function 110 may control the shape and color of each object to be displayed differently according to a function set for each object or a score obtained during processing.

According to an example, the display control function 110 may set a plurality of areas on a game screen as a track area, which is a moving path through which an object moves, and control each track area to be divided and configured. The number of track areas may be determined according to a game setting or a selection difficulty selected by the user at the start of the game. The track area may be configured in a vertical direction or a left and right direction of the game screen, or may be configured to form a predetermined angle. In addition, the track area may be configured in a shape symmetrical with respect to the center of the game screen, or may be configured in a specific shape. In addition, the track area may be configured in the form of a three-dimensional movement passage.

The display control function 110 may control a timing indicator for each track area to be displayed on the game screen. Specifically, the timing indicator may be set to indicate an operation timing for determining whether an object is successfully processed. The manipulation timing may mean a current time point at which a user should input an input signal. For example, when a specific object matches the timing indicator, that is, when the play timing of the object matches the current manipulation timing, the user must input manipulation through the manipulation member corresponding to the timing indicator. The processing for can be determined to be successful.

The timing indicator may be displayed at one end of the game screen according to the direction in which the object moves, and may be displayed for each track area. For example, when the object moves from the upper side to the lower side of the game screen, the timing indicator may be displayed as a predetermined area below the track area.

In this case, the track region, which is a moving path, can function as a time axis based on the timing indicator. That is, the object is disposed at an appropriate position in the track area according to the time interval between the play timing and the operation timing set in the object, and can move to reach the timing indicator when the play timing coincides with the operation timing.

The display control function 110 may display the timing indicator to be configured in various shapes and colors according to a setting. For example, the shape of the timing indicator may be set to various shapes such as a square, a circle, and an oval. In addition, the color of the timing indicator is not limited to a specific color and may be variously set. Accordingly, the display control function 110 may configure and display the timing indicator for each track area according to the shape and color of the timing indicator determined in the previously stored game setting. In addition, the display control function 110 may dynamically set a position in the game screen on which the timing indicator is displayed according to the difficulty of the game or the progress of the game.

The display control function 110 may control the output of the object displayed on the game screen so as to move in the direction in which the timing indicator is located along the track area. Specifically, the display control function 110 may display a moving object within each track area configured on the game screen.

Alternatively, the display control function 110 controls a certain object to be displayed on the game screen for a predetermined period of time, and when the processing time for the displayed certain object is completed or the processing of the corresponding object is completed according to the user's input signal. , You can control the displayed object to change.

According to an example, the display control function 110 may display the timing indicator on the game screen to move in the direction of the object according to time. Alternatively, the display control function 110 may control the object to be displayed while moving in the direction of the timing indicator. Alternatively, the display control function 110 may control to display a time indicator including time information for object determination processing on the game screen. The time indicator moves in the direction of the object or the timing indicator for a predetermined time, and the user may perform processing of the corresponding object by generating an input signal for the object according to the position of the corresponding time indicator.

In addition, when the position, shape, or size of the object is changed according to the game situation, the display control function 110 may control the position, shape, or size of the timing indicator to be changed and displayed. The position, shape, or size of the object may be set based on the initial game drive or the reference object, or may be changed according to the characteristic information of each object.

For example, when the object moves in the direction of the timing indicator, the timing indicator may be determined to be located at a specific position. Alternatively, when the timing indicator moves in the direction of the object, the timing indicator may be formed at a specific position, and at least one of the corresponding position, size, and shape may be determined to be changed according to the progress of the game.

In addition, the display control function 110 can control the display of each object based on the movement speed of each object determined according to at least one of the difficulty of the game, a function set for the object, and a score that can be obtained when the object is successfully processed. have. Similarly, when the timing indicator moves in the direction of the object, the display control function 110 moves the timing indicator according to at least one of the difficulty of the game, the function set to the object, and the score that can be obtained when the object is successfully processed. You can also control the display based on speed.

In addition, the display control function 110 may display a manipulation area on one area on the game screen. The manipulation area refers to an area that receives a user's input signal for processing an object displayed on a game screen. According to an example, a user's touch input may be received through the manipulation area. Alternatively, according to another example, the manipulation area may be displayed to correspond to each manipulation input of a user received through a predetermined manipulation member. For example, when the game screen is composed of a plurality of track areas, the display control function 110 may display a plurality of manipulation areas to correspond to each track area.

According to an example, a virtual transparent polyhedron may be set as a display device for displaying an object and a timing indicator. The virtual transparent polyhedron may be set so that each surface has a predetermined transparency, so that the inside is transparent and visible. The transparent polyhedron may include a plurality of movement passages through which an object or a timing indicator can move. Each of the plurality of movement passages may be set to have a predetermined transparency.

According to an example, the transparent polyhedron may be set as a hexahedron. In this case, the hexahedron may be set in the shape of a rectangular pillar having a longer length of a surface extending in the moving direction of the object. In this case, a plurality of rectangular pillar shapes in which a transparent polyhedron is divided may be set as a plurality of movement passages through which the object moves.

However, this is an example and is not limited thereto. According to another example, the hexahedron may be set in the form of a cube, such as a cube. In this case, a plurality of rectangular pillar shapes in which the transparent polyhedron is divided in the movement direction of the object may be set as a plurality of movement passages through which the object moves.

Alternatively, according to another example, the plurality of movement passages may be set in the form of a polygonal column or a circular column spaced apart from each other in the transparent polyhedron. For example, a predetermined number of pentagonal moving passages spaced apart from each other may be set inside the transparent hexahedron.

Alternatively, according to another example, the transparent polyhedron may be set in various polygonal pillar shapes such as a triangular pillar shape, a pentagonal pillar shape, or a hexagonal pillar shape in addition to the hexahedron. Alternatively, according to another example, the display device including the object and the timing indicator may be set in the form of a virtual transparent cylinder.

Hereinafter, a display device including an object and a timing indicator is mainly described in the form of a rectangular pillar, which is a virtual transparent hexahedron, but the following description will be made of the above-described various types of display devices, unless contrary to the essential idea of the invention. The same can be applied substantially to the same.

The display control function 110 may control one surface of the virtual transparent polyhedron to be displayed on the game screen. For example, when the transparent polyhedron is a hexahedron, the display control function 110 may control to display any one of six faces constituting the transparent polyhedron on the game screen.

In this case, as described above, since the transparent polyhedron is set to be transparent and visible, the inner shape of the transparent polyhedron viewed from one surface displayed on the game screen may be displayed together. That is, objects and timing indicators included in the transparent polyhedron may be displayed in a transparent form through one surface displayed on the game screen. Also, a plurality of moving passages included in the transparent polyhedron may be displayed in a transparent form through one surface displayed on the game screen according to the corresponding transparency.

According to an example, a predetermined rotation instruction input may be received while the game is in progress. The predetermined rotation instruction input may be an input that instructs the transparent polyhedron to rotate left and right in a horizontal direction or vertically in a vertical direction. The predetermined rotation instruction input may be received as an input signal from the user, or may be preset in a predetermined time and direction according to the progression of the game.

Upon reception of a predetermined rotation instruction input, the display control function 110 controls the other side of the transparent polyhedron to be displayed on the game screen, assuming that the transparent polyhedron is rotated in a direction corresponding to the predetermined rotation instruction input. I can. For example, when a rotation to the left is instructed, the display control function 110 may control the right side of one surface currently displayed on the game screen to be displayed on the game screen.

Accordingly, the display control function 110 may display the inner shape of the transparent polyhedron viewed from the newly displayed surface. That is, objects and timing indicators included in the transparent polyhedron may be displayed in a transparent form through one surface displayed on the game screen. In this case, since the object inside the transparent polyhedron is also rotated, the position, shape, number, or type of the object may be changed and displayed.

For example, in the case where the object is three-dimensionally implemented, it is assumed that the front of the object is displayed before the aforementioned rotation to the left. In this case, as the transparent polyhedron rotates to the left, the seating surface of the object is displayed. According to an example, when the object is implemented as a three-dimensional shape of a specific character, a shape viewed from the displayed surface may be displayed according to the rotation of a transparent polyhedron.

In addition, since the object is located in a specific movement passage inside the transparent polyhedron, the position on the displayed surface may be changed according to the rotation of the transparent polyhedron. For example, it is assumed that an object moves along a movement path located at the rear of the center based on a currently displayed surface. In this case, the object may be displayed in the center on the currently displayed surface.

Thereafter, when the transparent polyhedron is rotated to the left, the corresponding movement path is located in the center of the right side based on the currently displayed surface. Accordingly, the object on the currently displayed surface may be displayed on the right. In this way, when the position of the object on the displayed surface is changed, the manipulation area corresponding to the object may also be changed from the manipulation area located in the center to the manipulation area located on the right side.

In addition, since the object is displayed in the form of looking at the object from one side of the transparent polyhedron, the number or type of displayed objects may vary according to the rotation of the transparent polyhedron. For example, it is assumed that two moving passages are spaced apart by the same distance from the left segment of the currently displayed surface and by different distances from the currently displayed surface. In addition, it is assumed that the two objects move along each of the assumed two movement paths, and the difference between the movement distances of the two objects is shorter than the length of the object that has moved more.

In this case, the two objects viewed from the currently displayed surface overlap each other and may be displayed as one object. Thereafter, when the transparent polyhedron is rotated to the left, since the two objects are displayed separately from each other on the currently displayed surface, they may be displayed as two objects.

It is assumed that another movement path exists between a movement path through which two objects move, and a connection line object connecting the two objects exists. In this case, the two objects and the connection line object viewed from the currently displayed surface may overlap each other so that they may be displayed as one object. Thereafter, when the transparent polyhedron is rotated to the left, the two objects and the connection line object are displayed separately from each other on the currently displayed surface, so that the two objects and the connection line object connecting the two objects may be displayed.

In addition to this, the display control function 110 may control display of various effects required for a game. For example, the display control function 110 may control the number of points acquired in the game to be displayed, or control the output of various effect displays according to the success or failure of object processing. In addition, the display control function 110 can configure the skill or background image that can be used by the user in the game screen, and change the image output of the game screen, such as the game background, according to the music output differently for each game. I can. For example, as the game progresses, a specific part of an image set as a background screen may be displayed while moving.

The receiving function 120 may receive an input signal generated when a user plays a game. According to an example, the user's input signal may be a touch input signal generated by a signal touching a game screen. Alternatively, the user's input signal may be a user's manipulation input received through a predetermined manipulation member. For example, the user's input signal received through the manipulation member is a manipulation input signal through an input device such as a keypad or a joystick, an image acquisition device such as a camera or a gesture input signal by a user's gesture acquired by a sensor, and a microphone. It may include various input signals such as a voice input signal through and an image input signal through an image acquisition device such as a camera. In the present disclosure, if a signal is generated by a user for game manipulation, it is not limited to a specific type and can be applied to all of the present technical idea as long as it does not contradict the essence.

In addition, the user's touch input signal may be a short (or tap) touch, a long touch, a multi touch, a drag touch, or a flick touch, depending on the displayed object. A flick touch), a pinch-in touch, a pinch-out touch, a hovering touch, and the like, may be requested through various types of touch inputs.

In addition, the user's touch input signal may be received in a predetermined manipulation area displayed on the game screen. Even in this case, the user's input signal can be received even in areas other than the operation area. According to an example, the display of the manipulation area may be maintained regardless of the reception of the above-described predetermined rotation instruction input. That is, even if one surface to be displayed is changed according to the rotation of the transparent polyhedron, the display of the manipulation area can be maintained as it is.

However, this is an example and is not limited thereto. According to another example, when a manipulation area is included in a transparent polyhedron, the manipulation area may be changed and displayed according to the rotation of the transparent polyhedron.

In addition, the user's touch input signal may be received through an input screen configured to be separated from the game screen on which the game situation is displayed. For example, in the case of a game device composed of a dual screen, one screen may be set to display a game situation, and the other screen may be set to receive a user's touch input signal. Alternatively, when a transparent display panel is used, the user's input signal may be received on the back side of the game screen.

In addition, the user's manipulation input signal may be received through an input device such as a separate keypad or joystick. In this case, keys on a keypad or buttons such as a joystick may be set to correspond to each of the manipulation areas displayed on the game screen.

In addition, the user's gesture input signal may be received through a sensor included in a device in which the recording medium 100 is provided. In this case, according to an example, an acceleration sensor or a gyro sensor for detecting movement of the device according to a user's gesture may be provided in the device. However, this is an example, and if an input signal according to a user's gesture can be detected, it is not limited to a specific sensor.

In addition, the user's voice input signal may be received through a voice detection sensor such as a microphone included in a device in which the recording medium 100 is provided.

The determination function 130 may determine whether the input signal for the object is successful based on the relationship between the play timing corresponding to the object and the operation timing indicated by the timing indicator and the reception timing of the input signal. As described above, the object can move to reach the timing indicator when the play timing coincides with the manipulation timing. Accordingly, when the user's input signal is received at a time when the play timing corresponding to the object coincides with the operation timing indicated by the timing indicator, the determination function 130 may determine the input signal for the object as success. . That is, when the play timing, the operation timing, and the reception timing coincide with each other, the input signal to the object may be determined as success.

In addition, the positional relationship between the object and the timing indicator is also related to each other according to the relationship between the play timing and the operation timing. That is, from the point of view of the position, when the object is superimposed on the region where the timing indicator is displayed, the play timing is matched with the operation timing. Accordingly, the success determination of the input signal for the object may be determined using the positional relationship between the object and the timing indicator.

However, if the success determination is made only when the input signal is received at a time when the play timing of the object coincides with the operation timing indicated by the timing indicator, the difficulty of the game is increased. Therefore, users or children who are not familiar with such music games may easily lose interest in the game. Accordingly, in order to relax the determination acceptance criteria for the processing of the object, according to an example, a determination allowance range that can be determined as success for the object may be set.

The allowable determination range may include a determination allowable time, which is a temporal standard, and a determination allowable area, which is a spatial standard. The judgment allowable time may be set to a time range in which the input signal received for the object can be judged to be successful based on the point in time when the play timing coincides with the operation timing. The determination allowable region may be set as a region range in which an input signal for the object can be determined as a success based on a position at which the object overlaps with the timing indicator.

When the user's input signal is received when the object and the timing indicator are within the determination allowable range, the determination function 130 may determine that the processing for the object is successful. In other words, when an input signal is received on the determination allowable area set outside the object within the allowable determination time, before and after the point in time when the play timing of a specific object coincides with the operation timing indicated by the timing indicator, the input signal for the object Can be judged as success. Alternatively, the determination function 130 determines that the processing of the object is successful when the input signal is required to be maintained for a predetermined period of time for the object, and the input signal is maintained for a predetermined period of time within the determination allowable area. can do.

Alternatively, when the determination function 130 is displayed including a start point and an end point at which the object is connected to a predetermined length, when an input signal is received within the determination allowable area set at the start point of the object during the allowable determination time set at the start point of the object, The input signal for the starting point of the object can be determined as success. The determination function 130 may determine the input signal as a success if the input signal continues to be within the determination allowable area set at the end point of the object for the allowable determination time set at the end point of the object.

Alternatively, the determination function 130 further determines whether the shape connecting the start point and the end point of the object and the input pattern of the input signal lasting for a certain period of time on the game screen or the input screen are matched to determine the success of object processing. May be.

According to an example, the allowable determination time or the allowable determination region may be directly set by the user, or may be set according to a selected game difficulty. For example, the easier the difficulty is, the longer the allowable determination time and the wider the allowable determination area may be set.

According to an example, when one side of the transparent polyhedron displayed on the game screen is changed according to the reception of the rotation instruction input, the determination function 130 succeeds in processing the object based on the location, number, or type of the changed object. It can be determined whether or not. The determination function 130 may perform a function of determining whether or not processing for an object is successful in consideration of a change in a corresponding manipulation area according to a change in the location, number, or type of the object.

According to an example, each surface of the transparent polyhedron 200 may be set to have different characteristics. For example, in the case of a specific aspect, it may be set to add a bonus score when processing an object. Alternatively, according to each side, the object may be set to change to the shape of a specific character. Alternatively, the difficulty of the game may be set to vary according to each side, such as changing the playing speed of music.

According to this, by rotating a transparent polyhedron including an object and a timing indicator therein according to a predetermined condition to display one surface, objects moving inside the transparent polyhedron can be displayed in various states based on the one surface displayed on the game screen. I can. In addition, by changing the position, number, or type of objects according to the change of one surface of the transparent polyhedron displayed on the game screen, it is possible to obtain additional points or provide fun.

Hereinafter, each component function of the computer-readable recording medium 100 in which the program to be executed described with reference to FIG. 1 is recorded will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

2 and 3 are views for explaining a transparent polyhedron according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. 4 to 8 are diagrams for explaining a change in a game configuration according to rotation of a transparent polyhedron according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

The display control function 110 may control to display an object corresponding to the play timing and a timing indicator indicating an operation timing for the object on the game screen. According to an example, a virtual transparent polyhedron may be set as a display device for displaying an object and a timing indicator.

Referring to FIG. 2, as an example of a virtual transparent polyhedron 200, a transparent hexahedron in the form of a square pillar is shown. An arrow shown next to the transparent polyhedron 200 indicates a direction in which an object or a timing indicator moves within the transparent polyhedron. The hexahedron may be set in the shape of a rectangular pillar having a longer length of a surface extending in the moving direction of the object.

In the following, description is focused on the case where the object moves toward the timing indicator, but the following description is, unless contrary to the essence, the timing indicator is set for each movement path, and even when the object moves toward the object. It can be applied in the same way.

Each surface of the transparent polyhedron 200 may be set to have a predetermined transparency. Also, the inside of the transparent polyhedron 200 may be set to have a predetermined transparency. Accordingly, the virtual transparent polyhedron 200 may be set so that the inside is transmitted through each surface. Accordingly, an object moving inside the transparent polyhedron 200 can be observed through one surface of the transparent polyhedron 200.

Referring to FIG. 3, a plurality of movement passages 201 through which an object or a timing indicator included in the transparent polyhedron 200 can move are illustrated. According to an example, a plurality of rectangular pillar shapes in which the transparent polyhedron 200 is divided may be set as a plurality of movement passages through which an object moves. In FIG. 3, a total of 25 moving passages are shown, but this is an example and is not limited thereto.

The timing indicator 10 may be positioned at the lower end of the plurality of movement passages. In FIG. 3, the timing indicator 10 is illustrated as an integral type, but is not limited thereto. According to an example, a plurality of timing indicators respectively corresponding to each movement path may be set.

In FIG. 3, it is shown that the entire transparent polyhedron 200 is set as a moving passage in the form of a plurality of square pillars, but this is an example and is not limited thereto. According to another example, the plurality of movement passages may be set in the shape of a polygonal column or a shape of a circular column spaced apart from each other in the transparent polyhedron 200.

According to an example, the display control function 110 may control one surface of the virtual transparent polyhedron 200 to be displayed on the game screen. Referring to FIG. 4, as an example, the movement of an object through the four moving passages 201, 203, 205, and 207 included in the transparent polyhedron 200 is viewed from each side of the transparent polyhedron 200. Is shown.

Referring to the front (BFGC surface), right (CGHD surface), and upper surface (ABCD surface) of the transparent polyhedron 200, it can be seen that a total of four objects are moving. That is, the object passing through the middle part of the moving passage 201 is transmitted to and displayed to the object 20 through the front side, and is displayed through the object 20b through the right side, and the object 20a through the top surface. It can be transmitted through and displayed. In this case, the object passing through the middle portion of the moving passage 201 may be assumed to have the same cross-section as the moving passage 201 and in the form of a rectangular pillar implemented with a predetermined length.

Likewise, the object passing through the middle part of the moving passage 203 is transmitted through the front side to the lower part of the object 21 and displayed, through the right side, the object 21d is transmitted through and displayed, and the object is displayed through the upper side. It can be transmitted through (21a) and displayed. In addition, the object passing through the upper part of the moving passage 207 is transmitted through the front side to the upper part of the object 21 and displayed, is transmitted through the right side to the object 21f, and is displayed, and the object is displayed through the upper side. It can be transmitted through (21c) and displayed.

In addition, the object passing through the moving passage 205 corresponds to a connection line object between the moving passage 203 and the objects passing through the moving passage 207. In the case of the front, the connecting line object is covered by the object passing through the middle part of the moving passage 203, is transmitted through the right side to the object 21e, and is displayed, and is transmitted through the top surface to the object 21b. I can.

According to an example, the display control function 110 may control a surface of the virtual transparent polyhedron 200 that is currently set as a front face to be displayed on the game screen. To this end, information on which face of the transparent polyhedron 200 is currently set to be stored separately, and may be updated when the transparent polyhedron 200 is rotated according to a rotation instruction input.

As shown in FIG. 4, it is assumed that the current front face of the transparent polyhedron 200 is set to the BFGC plane. In this case, the display control function 110 may display the BFGC plane of the transparent polyhedron 200 on the game screen 300 as shown in FIG. 5. Since the inside of the transparent polyhedron is set to be transparent and visible, the objects 20 and 21 transmitted through the BFGC plane can be displayed on the game screen.

In this case, the plurality of movement passages may be displayed as the plurality of track areas 1 to 5. An operation region 30 including operation regions 31 to 35 respectively corresponding to the plurality of track regions 1 to 5 may be displayed at the bottom of the game screen 300.

When a game is played while the game screen 300 shown in FIG. 5 is displayed, the objects 20 and 21 move toward the timing indicator 10. When the objects 20 and 21 reach the timing indicator 10, the user can apply an input signal to the manipulation areas 31 and 33.

The determination function 130 may determine whether the input signal to the object is successful based on the relationship between the play timing corresponding to the objects 20 and 21 and the operation timing indicated by the timing indicator and the reception timing of the input signal. . Here, when the user's input signal to the operation areas 31 and 33 is maintained until each object completely passes through the timing indicator 10, the determination function 130 determines that the processing for the object is successful. I can.

Referring to FIG. 6, according to an example, a case in which a predetermined rotation instruction input is received while a game is in progress is illustrated. The predetermined rotation instruction input may be an input indicating either horizontal rotation or vertical rotation of the transparent polyhedron 200. According to an example, a predetermined rotation instruction input may be received as an input signal from a user, or may be preset in a predetermined time and direction according to the progression of the game.

According to an example, as illustrated in FIG. 6, it is assumed that a user touches the game screen 300 and applies a touch input i1 to flicker to the left. In this case, the virtual transparent polyhedron 200 may rotate to the left as shown in FIG. 7. Accordingly, the CGHD surface, which was previously the right surface, may be set as the current front surface of the transparent polyhedron 200.

The display control function 110 may display the CGHD surface currently set as the front face on the game screen 300 as shown in FIG. 8. Accordingly, objects 20b, 21d, 21e, and 21f transmitted through the BFGC surface may be displayed on the game screen 300. According to an example, the display control function 110 may maintain the display of the manipulation area 30 regardless of reception of a predetermined rotation instruction input.

When a game is played while the game screen 300 shown in FIG. 8 is displayed, the objects 20b, 21d, 21e, and 21f move toward the timing indicator 10. When the objects 20b and 21d reach the timing indicator 10, the user can apply an input signal to the manipulation areas 31 and 33. When the object 21e reaches the timing indicator 10, the user can apply an input signal to the manipulation area 34. Thereafter, when the object 21f reaches the timing indicator 10, the user can apply an input signal to the manipulation area 35.

When the user's input signal to the operation areas 31 and 33 is maintained until the objects 20b and 21d completely pass through the timing indicator 10, the determination function 130 makes the processing of the object successful. Can be judged. In addition, when the object 21e reaches the timing indicator 10 and applies an input signal to the manipulation area 34, the determination function 130 may determine the processing for the object as success. In addition, when the user's input signal to the operation area 35 is maintained until the object 21f completely passes the timing indicator 10, the determination function 130 determines that the processing for the object is successful. I can.

That is, one object 21 having a predetermined length passing through the track area 3 of FIG. 5 has a predetermined length passing through the track areas 3 and 5 of FIG. 8 according to the rotation instruction input. It may be changed to two objects 21d and 21f and a connecting line object 21e passing through the track area 4. Accordingly, the same object may be displayed differently in position, number, or type on the game screen 300 according to the rotation of the transparent polyhedron 200.

In the above, the object has been described in the form of a square pillar, but is not limited thereto. According to an example, the object may be implemented as a three-dimensional shape of various shapes. For example, the object may be implemented in a three-dimensional shape of a specific character. In this case, the front side of the character may be displayed in FIG. 5, and the left side of the character may be displayed in FIG. 8. That is, according to the rotation instruction input, it is possible to induce interest by providing various appearances of the character to the user.

According to this, by rotating a transparent polyhedron including an object and a timing indicator therein according to a predetermined condition to display one surface, objects moving inside the transparent polyhedron can be displayed in various states based on the one surface displayed on the game screen. I can. In addition, by changing the position, number, or type of objects according to the change of one surface of the transparent polyhedron displayed on the game screen, it is possible to obtain additional points or provide fun.

9 to 11 are diagrams for explaining an input signal of a user according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

The receiving function 120 includes a user's touch input received on the game screen 300, the user's manipulation input received through a predetermined operation member, a user's gesture input received through a predetermined sensor, or a user's voice input. At least one of them may be received as an input signal.

Referring to FIG. 9, as an example of an operation member for receiving a user's operation input, a keyboard 400 is shown. In this case, specific keys of the keyboard 400 may be set to correspond to each of the manipulation areas 31 to 35. For example, the numeric keys 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of the keyboard 400 may be set to correspond to the manipulation areas 31, 32, 33, 34, and 35, respectively. However, this is an example, and other keys may be set to be mapped to the manipulation area.

In addition, according to an example, the A key and the D key of the keyboard 400 may be set to correspond to the left rotation command input and the right rotation command input for the transparent polyhedron 200, respectively. In addition, the W key and the S key of the keyboard 400 may be set to correspond to the upper rotation instruction input and the lower rotation instruction input for the transparent polyhedron 200, respectively. However, this is an example, and other keys may be set to be mapped to each rotation instruction input.

When a user input for the A key corresponding to the left rotation instruction input is received, the transparent polyhedron 200 may be rotated to the left. Since the subsequent operations are substantially the same as those described above in FIGS. 6 to 8, a detailed description will be omitted.

In FIG. 9, the keyboard 400 has been described as an example of the operation member, but is not limited thereto. The manipulation member may include various input devices such as a keypad or a joystick, provided that it is an input device capable of receiving a user's input signal.

Referring to FIG. 10, a case in which a user's gesture input is set to correspond to a rotation instruction input is illustrated. That is, a gesture input for tilting the device provided with the recording medium 100 to the left may be set to correspond to a left rotation instruction input. Also, a gesture input for tilting the device to the right may be set to correspond to a right rotation instruction input. Similarly, a gesture input that tilts the device upward may be set to correspond to an upper rotation command input, and a gesture input that tilts the device downward may be set to correspond to a lower rotation command input.

In this case, as illustrated in FIG. 10, when a gesture input g1 for tilting the device corresponding to the left rotation instruction input is received, the transparent polyhedron 200 may be rotated to the left. Since the subsequent operations are substantially the same as those described above in FIGS. 6 to 8, a detailed description will be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 11, a case in which a user's voice input is set to correspond to a rotation instruction input is illustrated. That is, the voice input “turn left” may be set to correspond to the left rotation instruction input. In addition, a voice input of "turn right" may be set to correspond to a right turn instruction input. Likewise, the voice input “turn up” may be set to correspond to the upper rotation instruction input, and the voice input “turn down” may be set to correspond to the lower rotation instruction input.

In this case, as illustrated in FIG. 11, when a voice input s of "rotate left" corresponding to the left rotation instruction input is received, the transparent polyhedron 200 may be rotated to the left. Since the subsequent operations are substantially the same as those described above in FIGS. 6 to 8, a detailed description will be omitted.

12 is a diagram for describing a manipulation area according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

According to an example, the transparent polyhedron 200 may include a predetermined manipulation area in a lower area in the moving direction of the object. As shown in FIG. 12, the transparent polyhedron 200 may include the manipulation area 40 in the lower area of the front (BFGC surface) and the manipulation area 50 in the lower area of the right surface (CGHD surface). have. Likewise, the manipulation area may be included in the lower area of the left side and the rear side, which are not shown.

According to an example, manipulation areas included on each surface of the transparent polyhedron 200 may be set in different shapes. Alternatively, the manipulation area included in each side may be set to have different characteristics, such as generating a predetermined effect such as an additional bonus score.

13 and 14 are views for explaining rotation of a transparent polyhedron in a vertical direction according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

According to one example, the display control function 110, when one surface of the transparent polyhedron 200 displayed on the game screen 300 is a surface horizontal to the cross-section of a plurality of movement passages, the transparent polyhedron 200 is three-dimensional. It can be marked as.

When the rotation state of the transparent polyhedron 200 is as shown in FIG. 4, it is assumed that a lower rotation instruction input is received. In this case, the virtual transparent polyhedron 200 may rotate downward, as shown in FIG. 13. Accordingly, the ABCD surface, which was previously the top surface, may be set as the current front surface of the transparent polyhedron 200.

The display control function 110 may display the ABCD surface currently set as the front face on the game screen 300 as shown in FIG. 14. Accordingly, the objects 20a, 21a, 21b, and 21c transmitted through the ABCD surface may be displayed on the game screen 300. According to an example, the display control function 110 may maintain the display of the manipulation area 30 regardless of reception of a predetermined rotation instruction input.

In this case, it corresponds to the case where the ABCD surface of the transparent polyhedron 200 displayed on the game screen 300 is a surface horizontal to the cross section of the plurality of moving passages. The movement direction of the object is a direction that proceeds into the game screen 300 perpendicular to the ABCD plane, and when only the ABCD plane is displayed, it may be difficult to grasp the movement of the object. Accordingly, the display control function 110 can display the transparent polyhedron 200 on the game screen 300 three-dimensionally, as shown in FIG. 14.

When a game is played while the game screen 300 shown in FIG. 14 is displayed, the objects 20a, 21a, 21b, and 21c move toward the lower surface (EFGH surface) of the timing indicator 10. As illustrated in FIG. 14, objects may be displayed such that their size decreases as they move downward.

According to an example, when the object reaches the lower surface (EFGH surface), the display control function 110 may control to display an emphasis processing such as changing a color of a corresponding movement passage or displaying a specific text. Alternatively, when the object reaches the lower surface (EFGH surface), it may be set to output a specific sound or the like. The user may determine that the object is passing through the lower surface while the corresponding highlighting process is displayed.

According to an example, the manipulation area 30 may be set to correspond to each column. For example, the manipulation area 31 may be set to correspond to the leftmost column. Therefore, when an object passing through at least one of the five moving passages in the leftmost column reaches the bottom surface (EFGH surface), it can be determined whether or not the processing for the object is successful according to the reception of the input signal to the manipulation area 31. have.

However, this is an example and is not limited thereto. According to another example, manipulation areas corresponding to each movement path may be further displayed on the game screen 300. For example, in the case of FIG. 14, 25 manipulation areas may be further displayed on the game screen 300.

15 is a diagram for describing a display of a reduced transparent polyhedron according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

The display control function 110 may reduce the transparent polyhedron 200 and display it in a three-dimensional manner on a region of the game screen 300. Referring to FIG. 15, a reduced transparent polyhedron 200 ′ reflecting the current rotation state of the transparent polyhedron 200 may be displayed on a region of the game screen 300. When the transparent polyhedron 200 is rotated according to a predetermined rotation instruction input, the reduced transparent polyhedron 200 ′ may also be rotated and displayed by reflecting the rotation state.

According to an example, the display of the reduced transparent polyhedron 200 ′ may be turned on/off by a predetermined input signal. In addition, the displayed position or size of the reduced transparent polyhedron 200 ′ may be changed by a predetermined input signal. Alternatively, the reduced transparent polyhedron 200 ′ may be displayed in a pre-rotated state independently of the transparent polyhedron 200 by a predetermined input signal.

Through this, the user may determine in advance whether or not to rotate the object to be changed and displayed according to the rotation instruction input.

According to this, by rotating a transparent polyhedron including an object and a timing indicator therein according to a predetermined condition to display one surface, objects moving inside the transparent polyhedron can be displayed in various states based on the one surface displayed on the game screen. I can. In addition, by changing the position, number, or type of objects according to the change of one surface of the transparent polyhedron displayed on the game screen, it is possible to obtain additional points or provide fun.

16 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a game control device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 16, the game control device 1600 controls an object corresponding to the play timing and a timing indicator indicating the operation timing to be displayed on the game screen, and while at least one of the object and the timing indicator moves in a preset direction. A display control unit 1610 that controls to be output, a reception unit 1620 that receives an input signal from a user, and a determination unit that determines whether or not processing for an object is successful based on the relationship between the play timing and the operation timing, and the reception timing of the input signal. (1630) may be included.

The display control unit 1610 controls one side of the transparent polyhedron including a plurality of movement passages through which the object or timing indicator moves to be displayed on the game screen, and the other side of the transparent polyhedron in response to a predetermined rotation instruction input. It is possible to control to be displayed on the game screen, and control to display objects and timing indicators included in the inside of the transparent polyhedron in a transparent form through one surface displayed on the game screen.

Referring to FIG. 16, the display control unit 1610 may control to display an object corresponding to a play timing and a timing indicator indicating an operation timing for the object on a game screen.

When displaying an object, the display controller 1610 may display an object to be configured in various shapes and colors according to a setting. In addition, the display control unit 1610 may implement the object three-dimensionally and display the object three-dimensionally. According to an example, the display control unit 1610 may control the shape and color of each object to be displayed differently according to a function set for each object or a number of points obtained during processing.

The display control unit 1610 may control a timing indicator for each track area to be displayed on the game screen. Specifically, the timing indicator may be set to indicate an operation timing for determining whether an object is successfully processed. The manipulation timing may mean a current time point at which a user should input an input signal. For example, when a specific object matches the timing indicator, that is, when the play timing of the object matches the current manipulation timing, the user must input manipulation through the manipulation member corresponding to the timing indicator. The processing for can be determined to be successful.

The timing indicator may be displayed at one end of the game screen according to the direction in which the object moves, and may be displayed for each track area. For example, when the object moves from the upper side to the lower side of the game screen, the timing indicator may be displayed as a predetermined area below the track area.

When displaying the timing indicator, the display control unit 1610 may display the timing indicator to be configured in various shapes and colors according to a setting. For example, the shape of the timing indicator may be set to various shapes such as a square, a circle, and an oval. In addition, the color of the timing indicator is not limited to a specific color and may be variously set.

The display control unit 1610 may control the output of the object displayed on the game screen to move in the direction in which the timing indicator is located along the track area. Specifically, the display control unit 1610 may display a moving object within each track area configured on the game screen.

Alternatively, the display control unit 1610 controls a certain object to be displayed on the game screen for a predetermined period of time, and when the processing time for the displayed certain object is completed or the processing for the corresponding object is completed according to a user's input signal, You can control the displayed object to change.

According to an example, the display control unit 1610 may display a timing indicator on a game screen to move in the direction of an object according to time. Alternatively, the display control unit 1610 may control the object to be displayed while moving in the direction of the timing indicator.

In addition, when the position, shape, or size of the object is changed according to the game situation, the display control unit 1610 may change and display the position, shape, or size of the timing indicator. The position, shape, or size of the object may be set based on the initial game drive or the reference object, or may be changed according to the characteristic information of each object.

In addition, the display control unit 1610 may control the display of each object based on a movement speed for each object determined according to at least one factor among a difficulty of a game, a function set to an object, and a score that can be obtained when the object is successfully processed. . Similarly, when the timing indicator moves in the direction of the object, the display control unit 1610 determines the movement speed of the timing indicator according to at least one of the difficulty level of the game, the function set to the object, and the score that can be obtained when the object is successfully processed. The display can also be controlled based on.

In addition, the display control unit 1610 may display a manipulation area on one area on the game screen. The manipulation area refers to an area that receives a user's input signal for processing an object displayed on a game screen. According to an example, a user's touch input may be received through the manipulation area. Alternatively, according to another example, the manipulation area may be displayed to correspond to each manipulation input of a user received through a predetermined manipulation member. For example, when the game screen is composed of a plurality of track areas, the display control unit 1610 may display a plurality of manipulation areas to correspond to each track area.

According to an example, a virtual transparent polyhedron may be set as a display device for displaying an object and a timing indicator. The virtual transparent polyhedron may be set so that each surface has a predetermined transparency, so that the inside is transparent and visible. The transparent polyhedron may include a plurality of movement passages through which an object or a timing indicator can move. Each of the plurality of movement passages may be set to have a predetermined transparency.

According to an example, the transparent polyhedron may be set as a hexahedron. In this case, the hexahedron may be set in the shape of a rectangular pillar having a longer length of a surface extending in the moving direction of the object. In this case, a plurality of rectangular pillar shapes in which a transparent polyhedron is divided may be set as a plurality of movement passages through which the object moves.

The display control unit 1610 may control one surface of the virtual transparent polyhedron to be displayed on the game screen. For example, when the transparent polyhedron is a hexahedron, the display control unit 1610 may control to display any one of six surfaces constituting the transparent polyhedron on the game screen.

In this case, as described above, since the transparent polyhedron is set to be transparent and visible, the inner shape of the transparent polyhedron viewed from one surface displayed on the game screen may be displayed together. That is, objects and timing indicators included in the transparent polyhedron may be displayed in a transparent form through one surface displayed on the game screen. Also, a plurality of moving passages included in the transparent polyhedron may be displayed in a transparent form through one surface displayed on the game screen according to the corresponding transparency.

According to an example, a predetermined rotation instruction input may be received while the game is in progress. The predetermined rotation instruction input may be an input that instructs the transparent polyhedron to rotate left and right in a horizontal direction or vertically in a vertical direction. The predetermined rotation instruction input may be received as an input signal from the user, or may be preset in a predetermined time and direction according to the progression of the game.

Upon receipt of a predetermined rotation instruction input, the display control unit 1610 may control the other side of the transparent polyhedron to be displayed on the game screen, assuming that the transparent polyhedron is rotated in a direction corresponding to the predetermined rotation instruction input. have. For example, when a rotation to the left is instructed, the display control unit 1610 may control the right side of one surface currently displayed on the game screen to be displayed on the game screen.

Accordingly, the display control unit 1610 may display the shape of the inside of the transparent polyhedron viewed from the newly displayed surface. That is, objects and timing indicators included in the transparent polyhedron may be displayed in a transparent form through one surface displayed on the game screen. In this case, since the object inside the transparent polyhedron is also rotated, the position, shape, number, or type of the object may be changed and displayed.

According to an example, when one surface of a transparent polyhedron displayed on a game screen is a surface horizontal to a cross section of a plurality of movement passages, the display control unit 1610 may control to display the transparent polyhedron in three dimensions. In addition, the display control unit 1610 may control the transparent polyhedron to be reduced and displayed in a three-dimensional manner on a region of the game screen.

In addition, the display control unit 1610 may control display of various effects required for a game. For example, the display control unit 1610 may control to display the number of points acquired in the game, or control the output of various effect displays according to the success or failure of object processing. In addition, the display control unit 1610 can configure the skill or background image that can be used by the user in the game screen, and change the image output of the game screen, such as the game background, according to the music output differently for each game. have. For example, as the game progresses, a specific part of an image set as a background screen may be displayed while moving.

The receiver 1620 may receive an input signal generated when a user plays a game. According to an example, the user's input signal may be a touch input signal generated by a signal touching a game screen. Alternatively, the user's input signal may be a user's manipulation input received through a predetermined manipulation member. For example, the user's input signal received through the manipulation member is a manipulation input signal through an input device such as a keypad or a joystick, an image acquisition device such as a camera or a gesture input signal by a user's gesture acquired by a sensor, and a microphone. It may include various input signals such as a voice input signal through and an image input signal through an image acquisition device such as a camera.

In addition, the user's touch input signal may be received in a predetermined manipulation area displayed on the game screen. Even in this case, the user's input signal can be received even in areas other than the operation area. According to an example, the display of the manipulation area may be maintained regardless of the reception of the above-described predetermined rotation instruction input. That is, even if one surface to be displayed is changed according to the rotation of the transparent polyhedron, the display of the manipulation area can be maintained as it is.

However, this is an example and is not limited thereto. According to another example, when a manipulation area is included in a transparent polyhedron, the manipulation area may be changed and displayed according to the rotation of the transparent polyhedron.

In addition, the user's manipulation input signal may be received through an input device such as a separate keypad or joystick. In this case, keys on a keypad or buttons such as a joystick may be set to correspond to each of the manipulation areas displayed on the game screen.

In addition, the user's gesture input signal may be received through a sensor included in a device in which the recording medium 100 is provided. In this case, according to an example, an acceleration sensor or a gyro sensor for detecting movement of the device according to a user's gesture may be provided in the device. However, this is an example, and if an input signal according to a user's gesture can be detected, it is not limited to a specific sensor.

In addition, the user's voice input signal may be received through a voice detection sensor such as a microphone included in a device in which the recording medium 100 is provided.

The determination unit 1630 may determine whether the input signal to the object is successful based on the relationship between the play timing corresponding to the object and the operation timing indicated by the timing indicator and the reception timing of the input signal. As described above, the object can move to reach the timing indicator when the play timing coincides with the manipulation timing. Accordingly, when the user's input signal is received at a time when the play timing corresponding to the object coincides with the operation timing indicated by the timing indicator, the determination unit 1630 may determine the input signal for the object as success. . That is, when the play timing, the operation timing, and the reception timing coincide with each other, the input signal to the object may be determined as success.

In addition, the positional relationship between the object and the timing indicator is also related to each other according to the relationship between the play timing and the operation timing. That is, from the point of view of the position, when the object is superimposed on the region where the timing indicator is displayed, the play timing is matched with the operation timing. Accordingly, the success determination of the input signal for the object may be determined using the positional relationship between the object and the timing indicator.

According to an example, when one side of a transparent polyhedron displayed on the game screen is changed according to the reception of the rotation instruction input, the determination unit 1630 succeeds in processing the object based on the location, number, or type of the changed object. It can be determined whether or not. The determination unit 1630 may perform a function of determining whether or not processing for an object is successful in consideration of a change in a corresponding manipulation area according to a change in the location, number, or type of the object.

In addition, the game control device 1600 may perform all of the functions of the recording medium described above by the display control unit 1610, the reception unit 1620, and the determination unit 1630.

According to this, by rotating the transparent polyhedron including the object and the timing indicator therein according to a predetermined condition to display one side, the object moving inside the transparent polyhedron is in various states based on the one surface displayed on the game screen. Can be displayed. In addition, by changing the position, number, or type of the object according to the change of one side of the transparent polyhedron displayed on the game screen, it is possible to provide additional points or fun.

A description will be given of a game control method in which all the operations of the game control device of the present disclosure are performed.

17 is a flowchart illustrating a game control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 17, in the game control method, an object corresponding to the play timing and a timing indicator indicating the operation timing are displayed on the game screen, and at least one of the object and the timing indicator is controlled to be output while moving in a preset direction. A display control step (S1700) to perform, a reception step (S1710) of receiving an input signal from a user, and a determination step of determining whether or not the processing of the object is successful based on the relationship between the play timing and the operation timing, and the reception timing of the input signal ( S1720) may be included.

In the display control step (S1700), one surface of a transparent polyhedron including a plurality of movement passages through which an object or a timing indicator moves is controlled to be displayed on the game screen, and other operations of the transparent polyhedron are provided in response to a predetermined rotation instruction input. The surface may be controlled to be displayed on the game screen, and objects and timing indicators included in the transparent polyhedron may be controlled to be displayed in a transparent form through the surface displayed on the game screen.

Referring to FIG. 17, in the display control step S1700, an object corresponding to a play timing and a timing indicator indicating an operation timing for the object are displayed on a game screen.

In the display control step S1700, when displaying an object, it may be displayed to have various shapes and colors according to a setting. In addition, in the display control step S1700, the object may be three-dimensionally implemented and displayed in three dimensions. According to an example, the display control step S1700 may control the shape and color of each object to be displayed differently according to a function set for each object or a number of points obtained during processing.

In the display control step S1700, a timing indicator for each track area may be controlled to be displayed on the game screen. Specifically, the timing indicator may be set to indicate an operation timing for determining whether an object is successfully processed. The manipulation timing may mean a current time point at which a user should input an input signal. For example, when a specific object matches the timing indicator, that is, when the play timing of the object matches the current manipulation timing, the user must input manipulation through the manipulation member corresponding to the timing indicator. The processing for can be determined to be successful.

The timing indicator may be displayed at one end of the game screen according to the direction in which the object moves, and may be displayed for each track area. For example, when the object moves from the upper side to the lower side of the game screen, the timing indicator may be displayed as a predetermined area below the track area.

In the display control step S1700, in displaying the timing indicator, the timing indicator may be displayed to be configured in various shapes and colors according to a setting. For example, the shape of the timing indicator may be set to various shapes such as a square, a circle, and an oval. In addition, the color of the timing indicator is not limited to a specific color and may be variously set.

In the display control step S1700, the output of the object displayed on the game screen may be controlled to move in the direction in which the timing indicator is located along the track area. Specifically, the display control step S1700 may display a moving object within each track area configured on the game screen.

Alternatively, the display control step (S1700) controls a certain object to be displayed on the game screen for a predetermined time, and when the processing time for the displayed certain object is completed, or when the processing for the corresponding object is completed according to the user's input signal. , You can control the displayed object to change.

According to an example, in the display control step S1700, a timing indicator may be displayed on a game screen to move in the direction of an object according to time. Alternatively, the display control step S1700 may control the object to be displayed while moving in the direction of the timing indicator.

In addition, in the display control step S1700, when the position, shape, or size of the object is changed according to the game situation, the position, shape, or size of the timing indicator may be changed and displayed. The position, shape, or size of the object may be set based on the initial game drive or the reference object, or may be changed according to the characteristic information of each object.

In addition, the display control step (S1700) may control the display of each object based on a movement speed for each object determined according to at least one of the difficulty of the game, a function set to the object, and a score that can be obtained when the object is successfully processed. have. Similarly, in the display control step (S1700), when the timing indicator moves in the direction of the object, the timing indicator is moved determined according to at least one of the difficulty level of the game, the function set to the object, and the score that can be obtained when the object is successfully processed. You can also control the display based on speed.

In addition, in the display control step S1700, a manipulation area may be displayed on one area on the game screen. The manipulation area refers to an area that receives a user's input signal for processing an object displayed on a game screen. According to an example, a user's touch input may be received through the manipulation area. Alternatively, according to another example, the manipulation area may be displayed to correspond to each manipulation input of a user received through a predetermined manipulation member. For example, when the game screen is composed of a plurality of track areas, the display control step S1700 may display a plurality of manipulation areas to correspond to each track area.

According to an example, a virtual transparent polyhedron may be set as a display device for displaying an object and a timing indicator. The virtual transparent polyhedron may be set so that each surface has a predetermined transparency, so that the inside is transparent and visible. The transparent polyhedron may include a plurality of movement passages through which an object or a timing indicator can move. Each of the plurality of movement passages may be set to have a predetermined transparency.

According to an example, the transparent polyhedron may be set as a hexahedron. In this case, the hexahedron may be set in the shape of a rectangular pillar having a longer length of a surface extending in the moving direction of the object. In this case, a plurality of rectangular pillar shapes in which a transparent polyhedron is divided may be set as a plurality of movement passages through which the object moves.

In the display control step S1700, one surface of the virtual transparent polyhedron may be controlled to be displayed on the game screen. For example, when the transparent polyhedron is a hexahedron, the display control step S1700 may control to display any one of six faces constituting the transparent polyhedron on the game screen.

In this case, as described above, since the transparent polyhedron is set to be transparent and visible, the inner shape of the transparent polyhedron viewed from one surface displayed on the game screen may be displayed together. That is, objects and timing indicators included in the transparent polyhedron may be displayed in a transparent form through one surface displayed on the game screen. Also, a plurality of moving passages included in the transparent polyhedron may be displayed in a transparent form through one surface displayed on the game screen according to the corresponding transparency.

According to an example, a predetermined rotation instruction input may be received while the game is in progress. The predetermined rotation instruction input may be an input that instructs the transparent polyhedron to rotate left and right in a horizontal direction or vertically in a vertical direction. The predetermined rotation instruction input may be received as an input signal from the user, or may be preset in a predetermined time and direction according to the progression of the game.

In response to receiving a predetermined rotation instruction input, the display control step (S1700) assumes that the transparent polyhedron is rotated in a direction corresponding to the predetermined rotation instruction input, and controls the other side of the transparent polyhedron to be displayed on the game screen. I can. For example, when a rotation to the left is instructed, the display control step S1700 may control the right side of the one surface currently displayed on the game screen to be displayed on the game screen.

Accordingly, in the display control step S1700, the shape of the inside of the transparent polyhedron viewed from the newly displayed surface may be displayed together. That is, objects and timing indicators included in the transparent polyhedron may be displayed in a transparent form through one surface displayed on the game screen. In this case, since the object inside the transparent polyhedron is also rotated, the position, shape, number, or type of the object may be changed and displayed.

According to an example, in the display control step S1700, when one surface of a transparent polyhedron displayed on a game screen is a surface horizontal to a cross section of a plurality of movement passages, the transparent polyhedron may be displayed in three dimensions. In addition, in the display control step S1700, the transparent polyhedron may be reduced and controlled to be displayed in a three-dimensional manner on a region of the game screen.

In addition, the display control step S1700 may control display of various effects required for the game. For example, in the display control step S1700, the number of points obtained may be displayed in the game, and output of various effect displays may be controlled according to the success or failure of object processing. In addition, in the display control step (S1700), a skill or background image that can be used by the user can be configured in the game screen, and the image output of the game screen, such as the game background, can be changed according to the music output differently for each game. I can. For example, as the game progresses, a specific part of an image set as a background screen may be displayed while moving.

The receiving step 1720 may receive an input signal generated when a user plays a game. According to an example, the user's input signal may be a touch input signal generated by a signal touching a game screen. Alternatively, the user's input signal may be a user's manipulation input received through a predetermined manipulation member. For example, the user's input signal received through the manipulation member is a manipulation input signal through an input device such as a keypad or a joystick, an image acquisition device such as a camera or a gesture input signal by a user's gesture acquired by a sensor, and a microphone. It may include various input signals such as a voice input signal through and an image input signal through an image acquisition device such as a camera.

In addition, the user's touch input signal may be received in a predetermined manipulation area displayed on the game screen. Even in this case, the user's input signal can be received even in areas other than the operation area. According to an example, the display of the manipulation area may be maintained regardless of the reception of the above-described predetermined rotation instruction input. That is, even if one surface to be displayed is changed according to the rotation of the transparent polyhedron, the display of the manipulation area can be maintained as it is.

However, this is an example and is not limited thereto. According to another example, when a manipulation area is included in a transparent polyhedron, the manipulation area may be changed and displayed according to the rotation of the transparent polyhedron.

In addition, the user's manipulation input signal may be received through an input device such as a separate keypad or joystick. In this case, keys on a keypad or buttons such as a joystick may be set to correspond to each of the manipulation areas displayed on the game screen.

In addition, the user's gesture input signal may be received through a sensor included in a device in which the recording medium 100 is provided. In this case, according to an example, an acceleration sensor or a gyro sensor for detecting movement of the device according to a user's gesture may be provided in the device. However, this is an example, and if an input signal according to a user's gesture can be detected, it is not limited to a specific sensor.

In addition, the user's voice input signal may be received through a voice detection sensor such as a microphone included in a device in which the recording medium 100 is provided.

The determination step 1730 may determine whether the input signal for the object is successful based on the relationship between the play timing corresponding to the object and the operation timing indicated by the timing indicator and the reception timing of the input signal. As described above, the object can move to reach the timing indicator when the play timing coincides with the manipulation timing. Accordingly, in the determination step 1730, when the user's input signal is received at a time when the play timing corresponding to the object coincides with the operation timing indicated by the timing indicator, the input signal for the object may be determined as success. . That is, when the play timing, the operation timing, and the reception timing coincide with each other, the input signal to the object may be determined as success.

In addition, the positional relationship between the object and the timing indicator is also related to each other according to the relationship between the play timing and the operation timing. That is, from the point of view of the position, when the object is superimposed on the region where the timing indicator is displayed, the play timing is matched with the operation timing. Accordingly, the success determination of the input signal for the object may be determined using the positional relationship between the object and the timing indicator.

According to an example, if one side of the transparent polyhedron displayed on the game screen is changed according to the reception of the rotation instruction input, the determination step 1730 is the success of processing the object based on the location, number, or type of the changed object. It can be determined whether or not. The determination step 1730 may perform a function of determining whether or not processing for an object is successful in consideration of a change in a corresponding manipulation area according to a change in the location, number, or type of the object.

In addition, the game control method may perform all or all of the operations of the above-described game control device by changing the order, omitting a specific operation, adding a specific operation, or the like as necessary.

According to this, by rotating the transparent polyhedron including the object and the timing indicator therein according to a predetermined condition to display one side, the object moving inside the transparent polyhedron is in various states based on the one surface displayed on the game screen. Can be displayed. In addition, by changing the position, number, or type of the object according to the change of one side of the transparent polyhedron displayed on the game screen, it is possible to provide additional points or fun.
