The present invention relates to a technique for changing a dynamic attack amount in a real-time online game that can be composed of a plurality of gamers or a team of a plurality of game forces united to fight against each other, more specifically multiplayer action or During the online game in real time, such as in a block (puzzle) game, the dynamic attack amount delivered to the opponent game player is calculated by reflecting the weight according to the number of people who participated in the game (or in the case of a team game). By adjusting the network status or game rules during the game, it is possible to improve the performance of online games by maintaining a constant flow of online games in real time even if the number of games changes from the beginning of the game. Dynamic Attack Control in Real-Time Online Games And a method.

In general, action puzzles or block games, which are performed online in real time, have a high concentration because several players participate in the game at the same time. Therefore, they are more popular than online turn-based puzzles or block games. Getting it.

However, in such an online game, the same attack amount is transmitted to the opponent gamers regardless of the number of people active in the game, and the feeling of the game varies according to the number of people. For example, if you create an attack volume that is optimized for a game played by six people for an online game, if the game is played by two people, the total attack volume is too small, and conversely, the attack volume optimized for a game played by two people. If you make the game, if the game is played by 6 people, the total attack volume will be excessive.

Therefore, in the online game, the need to adjust the attack amount appropriately according to the number of people in the game has emerged.

In addition, as described above, in the case of an action puzzle or a block crab in which several players simultaneously participate, an attack generated by one player may attack several players at the same time, and vice versa. Because attacks can attack a single player at the same time, players who do not have the energy to defend against these simultaneous attacks or who do not have special defensive items will be able to play the game instantaneously without time to fight back against such simultaneous attacks. This can be terminated.

In addition, in the case of the action puzzle or block game as described above, as the game progresses, the player is attacked one by one while the game is progressing, and one remaining player is the winner. As with games, gamers who have finished the game first have to wait for the remaining players to win the game. Therefore, the game is already finished and waiting because everyone has a different time to actively participate in the game. Waiters may have to wait a long time in some games to leave the online game.

On the other hand, in the case of an online game where the number of gamers is fixed at the start or end of the game, the game rules such as time and difficulty are modified to increase the interest of the game, resulting in higher gameability. The design is changing.

However, such a design change is easy to apply in turn-based games, but it is easy to apply, but it is an action puzzle or block type online game that supports non-fixed people from 2 or more to life. In the case of the above-mentioned change design is not easy, it is not easy to apply, so in the case of the action puzzle or block-type online game that supports the non-fixed number of people, if the number of people is different, the balancing of the game is changed, so the novices online There were problems such as a lot of difficulties in adapting to the game.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, the present invention is directed to the number of game participants when the attack occurs in the multiplayer action puzzle or block type online game in which non-fixed personnel participate or to the opponent gamers. The opponent's game is controlled against a large number of instantaneous attacks that occur at the same time by controlling the amount of attack so that the amount of attack can be delivered to the opponent's player by varying the amount of attack according to the given amount of attack reward or the execution of the attack. At least the defense opportunity is provided to the player, and even if the number of gamers is changed at the start or the end of the game, or even a beginner or a master at the same time, the flow of the online game is kept constant so that the number of remaining players Minimize time spent waiting for the game By giving turn to provide a system and method for dynamically adjusting the amount of attacks in a number of game characters in real time so you can participate in improving the performance of online games, online games are made at the same time its purpose.

One embodiment of the present invention system to achieve the above object, in the system for adjusting the amount of attack delivered to the opponent gamers when an attack occurs by any player on a real-time online game in which a large number of people at the same time When the attack occurs, the attack amount calculation unit for calculating the total attack amount by reflecting the weight according to the number of people currently participating in the game; It provides a dynamic attack amount control system in a real-time online game including an attack amount management unit for dividing the total attack amount transmitted from the attack amount calculation unit into the integer unit and the minority unit in the attack amount storage queue.

In addition, the configuration of the present invention system according to the embodiment, the second attack value according to the reward conditions of each gamers to reflect the amount of attack by the final change of the total attack amount according to the reward conditions each gamers When the specified condition is generated while the change unit and the predetermined predetermined condition and the maximum attackable unit attack amount are memorized for the execution of the attack, the game unit is subtracted by the maximum unit attack amount from the attack amount storage queue and generated in the game field. The attack time distribution unit may further include at least one or both blocks to configure different embodiments.

One embodiment of the present invention method for achieving the above object is a method for adjusting the amount of attack delivered to the opponent gamers when an attack by any player on a real-time online game that is a multi-person participation at the same time When the attack occurs from the game player, calculating the total attack amount by reflecting the number of participants in the current game or the weight according to the attack amount compensation condition given to the opponent game player; It provides a dynamic attack amount control method in a real-time online game comprising the step of equally distributing the total amount of attack and delivering to the attack amount storage queue of opponent gamers.                     

In addition, another embodiment of the method of the present invention for achieving the above object, a method for adjusting the amount of attack delivered to the opponent gamers when an attack by any player on a real-time online game that is a multi-person participation at the same time (A) checking whether a game end number is generated and setting weights according to the number of game participants when the game end number is generated; (b) checking whether an attack occurs, and calculating the total attack amount by reflecting the weight set in the step if the attack occurs; and (c) equally distributing the total attack amount and storing the total attack amount in the attack amount storage queue, respectively.

In addition, another embodiment of the method of the present invention, (d) checks whether a condition specified for execution of an attack stored in the attack amount storage queue is satisfied, and each time the attack execution condition is satisfied, Another embodiment may be configured to further include subtracting the unit attack amount from the stored total attack amount and executing the attack on the game field of the opponent player.

In particular, in each embodiment of the method of the present invention, the step (b) further includes (b1) recalculating the total attack amount by secondly reflecting the second weight value according to the attack amount compensation condition possessed by the opponent gamers. Thus, by simultaneously adjusting the attack amount to the weight according to the attack amount compensation conditions of the opponent gamers classified according to the number of players, such as coriander or beginners, and executes the attack, by multiple simultaneous from multiple attackers online Even if an attack occurs, at least one defensive opportunity may be provided to the opposing player so that a large number of players can participate in the online game evenly regardless of the master or novice player.

In the step (c), the total attack amount is divided into an integer number and a fractional part, and stored in the attack amount storage queue. (C1) When an integer value is generated in the accumulated amount of the fractional part, the cumulative amount of the integer part is increased by one. It further comprises the step of reducing the cumulative amount of the fractional part by one, through the cumulative management of the attack amount below the decimal point, especially in the case of an online game in which a large number of gamers at the same time, the weight applied to the number of people or compensation conditions By reducing the variation in the amount of attack will be able to manage the amount of attack evenly.

In particular, the weight may be an attack index having a value inversely proportional to the number of players participating in the game, and / or the duration of the game, the number of people waiting, the number of lines lost, the score, the character or item (weapons and accessories) owned, the specific action of the player. Bonuses based on one of the following levels: level of skill (use of a skill or performance of a specific action; use of an item), number of kills (that have terminated the game state of another player), handicap use, or a rating or level indicating the skill of the player. Preferably, the total attack amount may be obtained by multiplying a basic attack amount value for one generated attack by a bonus rate according to the weighted attack index or compensation condition.

Further, the attack execution condition may be set to a condition for generating a new action (or block) on the game field, or a time elapsed condition of a predetermined period.                     

A computer readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for executing the invention described above is provided.

The objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawings and the following detailed description.

In the following specification, an example of a real-time online game of N-to-N format, in which an attack occurring between a plurality of players is simultaneously executed against an unspecified number of players, will be described as an example. Is an online game in block or puzzle format, an action puzzle or tile game in tile format, or an online game in which two or more players face a non-player character, or three or more players Of course, it is also applicable to the game method to play, and the technical idea of the present invention is not limited or limited thereto and may be modified and variously implemented by those skilled in the art.

In addition, in the present invention, the number of gamers or game personnel means one or more game forces collectively formed to oppose each other by forming one or more gamers or teams, respectively.

Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of the preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in detail as follows.

1 is a block diagram of a dynamic attack control system in a real-time online game according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 1, a plurality of user terminals that can be connected to the network 100, such as the Internet ( 10-12), a game server 110 for providing a real-time online game where a plurality of gamers can simultaneously access and participate in a game, and a game database for storing data related to the progress of the real-time online game. It comprises 120. In particular, in the present invention, when the attack occurs, the attack amount calculation unit 111 calculates the total attack amount by reflecting the weight according to the number of participants participating in the game, and the total attack amount according to the number of people. The attack amount management unit 112 equally distributes and divides each into an integer part and a decimal part and stores them in the attack amount storage queue, and reflects the second weight value according to the attack amount compensation conditions of each game to the calculated total attack amount. The attack amount change unit 113 for changing the total attack amount according to the condition of the game player, and the distribution of attack points generated in the game field by distributing the attack amount stored in the attack amount storage queue to the point where the attack execution condition occurs. It further includes a portion 114.

The attack amount calculation unit 111 checks whether an attack occurs from any player, and when an attack occurs, calculates the total attack amount by reflecting the weight according to the number of active participants in the game, and the attack amount Evenly distributed according to the number of people and deliver to the attack volume storage queue. The number of active persons is the game that is currently active in the game even when there is a game player who ends the game early, such as in a 'survival' game, or when there is a disconnected game player due to a network problem. I mean. In addition, the weight is reflected on the basis of the preset attack index according to the number of people, that is, when the number of people active in the game and when the number of small to separate the attack index as shown in Table 1 below, the attack index Calculate the attack amount by reflecting as a weight. In other words, the amount of attack sent to a person can be obtained by multiplying the basic attack amount by the attack index for each active person as defined in Table 1 below.

Attack volume sent to one person = default attack volume × attack index

Table 1 below is a table defining the attack index that can be set in the case of an online game that can participate from 2 to 6 people.

Activity 2 3 4 5 6 Attack Index 30 20 15 12 10

The attack amount management unit 112 divides the total attack amount transmitted from the attack amount calculation unit 111 into an integer part and a decimal part, respectively, accumulates and stores it in the attack amount storage queue of the opponent game and stores only the attack amount stored in the integer part. Execute the attack. At this time, the attack amount management unit introduces a queue system and a decimal point management system to perform the cumulative management of the attack amount below the decimal point by the division and the cumulative summation of the integer part and the decimal part of the total attack amount. If the accumulated value of the fractional part stored in the attack volume storage queue exceeds 1, the cumulative amount of the fractional part is reduced by one, and the cumulative part of the fractional part is increased by one, thereby increasing the attack amount that can be executed by one.

The decimal point management system applied to the attack amount management unit 112 is introduced to solve the attack imbalance generated according to the number of people who play on the online game in which a plurality of players participate.                     

That is, in the case of an action puzzle game in a grid block unit such as 10x20 and 12x20, the attack should be made in a grid unit as well. In this case, a difference in attack balance is generated according to the number of active personnel.

For example, in the case of a two-player game, for an attack of four types A, B, C, and D, each of the attack indexes is 1, 2, 4, and 6 supporting 2 to 6 supporting online games. When the attack amount is calculated by introducing the attack index of Table 1 as a weight to the online game and the calculation result is rounded to an integer, the attack table as shown in Table 2 can be obtained.

         Participant Type 2 persons 3 persons 4 persons 5 guests 6 people A type One One 0 0 0 Type B 2 One One 0 0 C type 4 2 One One One D type 6 3 2 One One

As can be seen in Table 2, when two or five players were well-balanced in the case of two or six players, the attack amount was not compensated for the attack of the A and B types. You will lose your last name.

In addition, when multiplying by the total number of people to regain the total attack amount, assuming that the attack of the A, B, C, D type occurred once by all the players, the total attack amount is shown in Table 3 below. It can be seen that the variation of the total attack amount is more than doubled depending on the number of personnel.

            Participant Type 2 3 4 5 6 A One 2 0 0 0 B 2 2 3 0 0 C 4 4 3 4 5 D 6 6 6 4 5 Total Attack 13 14 12 8 10

Therefore, even if the attack amount is changed according to the number of game participants, it is necessary to introduce a decimal point management system in order to balance the strategy overallness and the total attack amount regardless of the number of people.

By introducing such a decimal point management system to reproduce Table 3 above, the attack table shown in Table 4 below can be obtained.

            Participant Type 2 3 4 5 6 A One 0.5 0.33 0.25 0.2 B 2 One 0.67 0.5 0.4 C 4 2 1.33 One 0.8 D 6 3 2 1.5 1.2

By multiplying the attack amount by (number of people -1) to obtain the total attack amount again using Table 4, the same attack balance can be obtained regardless of the number of game participants as shown in Table 5 below.

Total Attack Amount = (Number of Persons-1) × Attack Rate

Here, when an arbitrary player generates an attack, the attack does not come to the player himself. The total attack amount is calculated as (number of people-1) x attack amount.

          Participant Type 2 3 4 5 6 A One One One One One B 2 2 2 2 2 C 4 4 4 4 4 D 6 6 6 6 6 Total Attack 13 13 13 13 13

The attack amount change unit 113 for each condition reflects the second weight value according to each attack amount compensation condition of the opponent gamers to the total attack amount by using the queue system and the decimal point management system. By recalculating the total attack amount, the total attack amount is finally changed according to each attack amount compensation condition of the opponent gamers. At this time, the attack amount compensation condition is, for example, in a block-type online game, the game progress time, the number of waiting players, the number of lines lost, the score, the possessed character or item (weapons and accessories), and the specific action of the game player. (Use of skill or performance of specific actions; use of items), the number of kills (that have terminated the game state of another player), handicap availability, grade or level indicating the skill of the player, and the like, as illustrated in the following Tables 6 to 9 Similarly, the second weights may be given differently.

Time in seconds 30 60 90 120 bonus(%) 100 120 140 160

Waiting number of games left 0 One 2 3 bonus(%) 100 120 140 160

bonus(%) (+100 lines removed)

score Less than 10,000 points 10000 points or more ~ less than 20000 points More than 20000 ~ less than 30000 points More than 30000 points-less than 40000 points bonus(%) 100 120 140 160

The attack time distribution unit 114 performs a buffering operation at the time of execution against the minute attack using the queue system, or in a state in which a predetermined predetermined condition and a maximum attackable unit attack amount are stored for the execution of the attack. Whenever a specified condition occurs, the attack point allocation operation is performed to subtract the maximum attack amount from the attack storage queue and generate it to the game field. At this time, the conditions for the execution of the attack are preferably set when a new block or action is created or a condition in which a predetermined period of time elapses. For example, in the case of an online block game, when a new block is created, In the case of an action puzzle game, it may be when a new action is created.

In addition, in the case of a game capable of very fine movement such as the decimal point attack amount management unit for the buffering operation at the time of the attack, the attack may be sent as much as the unit of decimal point, but as in hexa or tetris, 10 * 20, 12 * 20 In the case of a game using a grid matrix, you cannot send a decimal point attack, so you need a queue system that manages it separately. The role of the queue is to manage when an attack with a sub-integer number comes to itself, and keeps the decimal point unit and sends only the integer part to itself when the amount of attacks accumulated in the queue reaches 1 or more. Serves the role of.

For example, if an attack of 0.33 occurs initially, the amount of attack accumulated in the queue is 0.33, so the attack does not actually occur in the game field at this time, and if an attack of 1.17 occurs, the amount of attack accumulated in the queue is 1.50. Because of this, after creating 1 attack on the game field, we keep 0.5 in the queue. If no attack occurs in the future, the attack amount in the queue is 0.5, so the game field is not attacked. If an attack of 3.30 occurs later, the attack amount of 3 is added to the game field. After creation, the queue will hold 0.8.

As such, the queue generates an attack on the game field only when a part of the accumulated portion of the decimal part is more than 1 and buffers the attack time for a small amount of attack. It is also possible in the action game of Grid Matrix).

On the other hand, the attack time distribution operation may be achieved by adjusting the maximum unit attack amount in a state in which the maximum unit attack amount that can attack at one time is set in advance, the distribution operation of the attack time depends on the characteristics of the online game. Therefore, if too many attacks are executed at once, the total attack volume is divided by unit attack amount to execute the attack several times, so that the performance of the online game can be improved by defending a large number of attacks against gamers unfamiliar with the game. The problem of falling can be solved.

For example, in an online block game, if there are a lot of blocks in the game field and you need to get rid of them at once, if there is a fun game, if the attack is suddenly applied all at once, the opponent will not be able to respond to a lot of attacks and the game will end. If you limit the amount of attack sent by the queue to the maximum unit attack amount that is set in advance by making full use of the characteristics of the queue, a large amount of attack is divided into smaller sizes and applied over several times. As a result, the player will have more time to fight back from the opponent's point of view, and this will enable the game to take high risk.

In other words, assuming that the maximum capacity of the queue is set to 6, if 15 attacks are generated and stored in the queue, the queue is 6 at the first attack time, 6 at the second attack time, and 3 at the third attack time. In order to allow 3, 6, 6, and 3 attacks each to occur in the game field, it is divided into 3 to no more than 6. Therefore, the attacker's position can afford more play than 15 attacks at once, so that he can play more aggressively.

By controlling the size of the maximum unit capacity of the queue by applying the attack time distribution operation by the above-mentioned cue system, it is possible to adjust the difficulty level between gamers or to expand the gameability by utilizing it as a character characteristic or an item characteristic. You can do it.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an example of a process executed in a dynamic attack amount control system in a real-time online game according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. Setting weights according to the number of game participants (S201-S203), and (b) calculating total attack amount by reflecting the set weights when an attack occurs (S204, S205), (c) the total Distributing the amount of attack evenly and configured to store each divided into an integer and a fraction in the attack amount storage queue (S208).

In addition, the operation flow of the method of the present invention, (d) executing the attack on the game field by subtracting the unit attack amount from the total attack amount stored in the attack amount storage queue each time the attack execution condition is satisfied (S211-) It is possible to modify the process to further include S216).

In addition, the operation flow of the method of the present invention, (b1) changing the total attack amount by secondly reflecting the second weight according to the attack amount compensation condition of the opponent gamers (or game forces) (S206, S207) , (c1) If an integer value is generated in the accumulated amount of the fractional part, the process may be modified to further include increasing the accumulated amount of the integer part by one and decreasing the accumulated amount of the fractional part by one (S209, S210).

The overall operation and other operational effects thereof according to the present invention of such a configuration are as follows.

As shown in FIG. 2, in step (a), it is first checked whether a game end number is generated (S201), and when a game end number is generated (Y branch in S201), the number of people currently participating in the game is determined (S202). Then, the weight is set by the attack index set as shown in Table 1 on the basis of the determined number of game participants. In this state, in step (b), it is checked whether an attack is generated from any player (S204), and when an attack occurs (Y branch of S204), the total attack amount (= basic attack amount x attack) is reflected by the set weight. Exponent) is calculated (S205).

Next, in step (b1), it is checked whether the attack amount compensation condition of each game player is set (S206). If the reward condition is set (Y branch of S206), the attack amount compensation of the item corresponding to the set reward condition is performed. The total attack amount is recalculated (S207) by reflecting the second weight for attack amount compensation for the corresponding condition for the game player having the condition, thereby changing the total attack amount according to each player's condition.

Next, in step (c), the total attack amount is equally distributed by the number of participants, and divided into an integer portion, which is an attackable attack value, and a fractional part, which is not attackable, and stored in an attack storage queue (S208). In step (c1), it is checked whether an integer value is generated in the accumulated amount of the fractional part stored in step S209. If an integer value is generated in the accumulated amount of the fractional part (Y branch of 209), an attack may be caused by increasing the accumulated amount of the integer part by one. Increases the amount of attack by 1 and decreases the cumulative amount of the fractional portion by 1 (S210).

Next, in step (d), it is checked whether a specified attack execution condition is satisfied (S211), for example, when a new block is generated or a new action occurs before a predetermined period of time elapses, or a new action is generated. If it is checked that a predetermined period of time elapses, in which no block is generated or a new action is not generated (Y branch of S211), it is determined that the attack execution condition is satisfied and stored in the attack amount storage queue. The attack is executed on the game field by subtracting the preset maximum unit attack amount from the total attack amount (S212, S213), and this operation is repeatedly executed until the cumulative amount of the integer portion is smaller than 1 (S215, S216). If a new attack occurs in the process of repeating this operation (Y branch of S217), the new attack generated by returning to the beginning of step (b) is performed. Attack amount calculation and accumulation of the attack, it is possible to repeatedly re-run the attack amount control operation based on the weight effect.

Therefore, the attack amount control method according to the present invention can increase the gameability by adjusting the attack amount of the game according to the number of people or conditions so that the overall strategy and the total attack amount can have a collective.

According to the present invention, since the number of people is different at the beginning or changes depending on the network situation or game rules during the game, it can have a certain flow, especially during the game, one by one and the last one to fall down. In the case of this 'survival' method, waiters who finish the game first can minimize the waiting time for the players who are currently playing the game, thus increasing the time that the average person actively participates in the game. There is usefulness to improve the game performance of the game.
