The method of the present invention can be implemented as a kind of computer game that can be executed, for example, in a personal computer (PC) such as a desktop or a notebook computer or a mobile terminal such as a smart phone or a tablet PC. That is, a software program implementing the method of the present invention can be installed in a notebook or a smartphone, and then a game can be enjoyed. Such a PC or a smart phone basically includes a processor capable of installing and executing a software program having a simple or complex operation including a display capable of visually displaying characters or graphics such as a liquid crystal display or a touch screen, And an input means for allowing a user to input specific information by touching a predetermined position of a keyboard button or a mouse click or a touch screen.

Thus, unless otherwise indicated, the term "computing device" as used herein refers to a device that includes a computer system, such as a PC or smart phone, that executes software that implements the method of the present invention, Means a monitor screen of a PC or a touch screen screen of a smartphone. In addition, the input by the user as 'click' or 'touch' means that the user clicks a predetermined position of the monitor screen with the mouse or touches a predetermined position of the touch screen with the user's finger.

Hereinafter, a method of playing the game in accordance with a specific embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. FIG.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a game method executed in a computing device having a display, a user input device, and a processor, the game method comprising: The steps 105 and 205 of the user to initiate the game by clicking or touching the start button 105 and 205, 207, an answer submission step 109, 209, a correct answer determination step 111, 211, and the like.

In steps 101 and 201 where the user selects the difficulty level, the user can select the level or difficulty level of the game from simple to easy to complex and difficult levels, as illustrated in FIG. This game method uses a game table 10 in which a plurality of numeric keys 11 each including numerals 13 as shown in Figs. 3 (a) to 3 (f) are arranged in a matrix . The game table 10 has a relatively difficult degree of difficulty including a numerical column 13 of 6 rows through 5 columns from a comparatively easy difficulty having a number column 13 of 3 rows X 3 columns as shown in FIG. It can be variously prepared. The game table 10 shown in FIG. 3 is to be recognized as an example only and does not limit the game method of the present invention, so it is also possible for a person skilled in the art to use a game table having various other numbers and more numbers It will be obvious.

In the step 103 and 203 of the game device displaying the game table on the display, one game table 10 specified according to the degree of difficulty selected by the user may be displayed on the display.

Thereafter, steps 105 and 205 are performed in which the user starts the game by clicking or touching the start button. At this stage, the user can input a user's game start command using a keyboard, a mouse or a finger touch, and the command can be received by the processor of the computing device via the user input device. Thus, the add / drop game according to the present invention starts.

Then, as the important process of the game, the question drafting step (107, 207), the answer submission step (109, 209), the correct answer determination step (111, 211) and the like can proceed.

The problem solving step 107 and 207 is a step in which the processor of the computing device displays two numeric boxes 14 and 15 in the game table 10 displayed on the display as shown in Fig. To highlight the problem. At this stage, visually highlighting the two numeric boxes (14, 15) may be accomplished by differently representing the color of the corresponding number box or by blinking the corresponding number box.

In the example shown in Fig. 4, the two highlighted numeric squares 14,15 include the numbers 3 and 4. The game rules must be known to the user before the game starts. The game rule is the number field that contains the numerical value of the result of calculating the two numbers that are issued as the problem with one of the arithmetic operations . Therefore, the user has to subtract two numbers from the problem and input them to the computing device in the answer submission step (109, 209).

At this stage, the processor of the computing device receives an answer to the question raised by sensing that at least one number box 16, 17, 18 has been clicked or touched within the game table 10 displayed on the display. For example, the user may add, subtract, multiply, and divide the numbers 3 and 4 presented as problems in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4 (b) The user can input an answer by clicking or touching at least one of numerals (16, 17, 18) that includes the number 1, the result of the subtraction, the result 7, and the result 12, .

Then, in the correct answer determination step 111, 211, the processor of the computing device determines whether the numbers contained in the numeric boxes 16, 17, 18 of the received answer are included in the number boxes 14, Whether or not the numbers correspond to the result of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with respect to each other.

Then, as illustrated in FIG. 1, after the step 111 of determining whether an answer is correct, the processor operates to end the entire game 113 when it is determined that the answer is not correct, 115), and then repeating the step 107 of issuing the problem. In this case, each time the problem is solved and the answer input is repeated, the user's game score can be increased by a predetermined score, for example, one point at a time, and when the wrong answer is submitted, The cumulative score obtained until the end of the game is the score obtained from the game.

Alternatively, as illustrated in FIG. 2, after step 211 of determining whether an answer is correct, the processor may lower the score 215 if it is determined that the answer is not correct, (217) whether or not the elapsed time length after the game start step (205) exceeds a predetermined game time length. If the time length exceeds the predetermined time, the game is terminated (219) , The operation can be repeated from the step 207 of issuing the above problem. In this case, the game score of the user can be raised or lowered by a predetermined score, for example, by one point each time one question entry and the answer inputting process are completed. On the other hand, the game may be terminated when a predetermined time, e.g., one minute, elapses as the total game time, and the accumulated score remaining until the game ends is the score obtained in the game.

In other words, instead of raising the predetermined score to a certain level (115, 113), each number contained in a plurality of numeric boxes 16, 17, 18 received as an answer is added or multiplied Value. In this case, the score of each question can be accumulated at different points, which can double the fun of the game.

According to another variant of the present invention, the time for submitting an answer every time a question is presented becomes shorter, so that the longer the game is played, the less time for inputting the answer, and the difficulty can be increased. In other words, it is determined whether or not a problem has been issued and exceeded the 'problem time length', which is the time taken for the process of inputting the answer, in the step of determining 217 that the time length has been exceeded in the flowchart illustrated in FIG. . As a result of the determination, if the problem time length until the user inputs the answer exceeds the predetermined problem time length, the processor of the game apparatus can operate so that the entire game ends (219). On the other hand, if the problem time length until the user inputs the answer does not exceed the predetermined problem time length, the processor of the game apparatus returns to the step 207 to issue the problem and submits the next problem It is possible to operate so as to repeat so that the predetermined " problem time length " becomes shorter by a predetermined time length. For example, if a problem time length of 5 seconds has been given for the first issue after the game has been started, then 0.1 second for the second issue can be shortened to give a problem time length of 4.9 seconds, The problem time length can be shortened by 0.1 second.

Alternatively, in addition to or in addition to the shorter and shorter time to submit an answer at each issue, a different game table may be displayed at each issue. That is, not the same game table having the same number of numbers and numbers for different problems is displayed, but a new game table that is different from each other in such a way that the number of the number boxes is increased or the numbers contained in the number boxes are changed, . Accordingly, the user is provided with the advantage of being able to enjoy a game which is always required to solve a problem that becomes more difficult in a new mood while being nervous.

According to another variant of the invention, the user can be configured to select the difficulty level from the beginning. For example, in the flowchart illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the processor of the computing device displays on the display a game table 10 in which numeric keys 11, each indicating a different number 13, At steps 103 and 203, the user may be able to complete the game table 10 to be displayed with a certain contribution. In other words, the user designates the number of the number boxes 11 included in the game table 10. For example, the user can select a game table including 3X3 number squares, i.e., 9 digit squares as illustrated in FIG. 3 (a), or 5x6 number squares as shown in FIG. 3 (f) You can select a game table with 30 numeric spaces.

In addition, the processor of the game device may provide the user with the number 13 contained in the first number field in the game table. If the user sets a number to be inserted into the first space, the remaining spaces can be filled with natural numbers increasing sequentially from the number determined by the user, thereby completing the game table. For example, when a user determines 1 as a number to be inserted in the first numeral in a game table having a number of 3X3 numbers, as shown in Fig. 3 (a), the remaining A completed game table filled with numerals can be displayed for the game. If the user selects a game table having a number of 4X5 number columns and selects 2 as a number to be inserted in the first column, as illustrated in (d) of FIG. 3, the remaining number You can complete the game table by filling in the cells in turn. In this embodiment, the user can directly select the degree of difficulty, thereby providing an advantage of allowing the user to enjoy a game of a level suitable for him / her.

The game method according to the present invention, which is performed in the above-described manner, can be implemented as software such as an app installed in a smart phone as a single player game, but can be implemented by a plurality of users simultaneously So that the user can enjoy the game at the same time.
