[The problem to be solved by the invention]

Previously, when the pitcher character throws a variable ball, if the physical strength of the pitcher character and the timing of the pitch are constant, the method of setting the amount of change of the variable ball to a constant regardless of the position of the target cursor specified by the user is applied. When the user manipulates the hitter character to hit the ball thrown by the pitcher character, and the displayed target cursor is a bad ball zone that is far away from the strike zone, it is predicted to be a bad ball, and it is often judged not to swing the stick. However, depending on the changing ball thrown by the pitcher, even if the target cursor is a bad ball zone that is far away from the strike zone, it may change to the strike zone and become a good ball. When the user manipulates the pitcher character, if such a change ball is frequently used, it may become easier to obtain a good ball, and there is a possibility that the game will be less interesting. On the contrary, when the user manipulates the hitter character, if this kind of change ball is used more often, the chance of swinging the stick may be missed, and the game may lack the fun of the game.

In view of the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a program, a game control method, and a game device for enhancing the fun of the game. [Means to solve the problem]

The program of the present invention is a program used to control a game that moves objects in response to a user's operation in the game space, and is used to make the computer execute: as the object moves toward a predetermined reference surface, it moves to the one that includes the reference surface. When the change direction of the horizontal component changes the movement of the aforementioned object, the target position, which is the target position when moving toward the reference plane without changing the movement of the aforementioned object, changes the amount of change that changes the movement of the aforementioned object deal with.

Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. [1. Description of the game] Hereinafter, the outline of the ideal game to which the present invention is applied will be described.

As shown in FIG. 1, the pitcher character information system includes the information of the player name, position, dominant hand, ball control ability, ball type, etc. associated with the identification information (player ID) of a single identifying pitcher character. The information associated with the player ID is different for each pitcher role. Furthermore, the pitcher character information is not limited to such information, for example, it may include information indicating the address information of a place where the portrait data (including animation) of the pitcher character is memorized.

The position is information indicating the position of the character's defense when the user's team is the defensive side. Information about the arm of the dominant-handed pitcher character when pitching. The dominant hand is either right or left. The ball-handling power is information indicating the quality of the ball-handling of the pitcher character. Ball Type The type of ball that the pitcher character can throw, that is, the information of the ball type that it holds. The pitcher character information shown in Figure 1 remembers that the first ball type is straight, the second ball type is slippery ball, the third ball type is jet ball, the fourth ball type is curve ball, and the fifth ball type is pointed ball. News. In the pitcher character information shown in Fig. 1, slip balls, jet balls, curve balls, and finger balls other than straight balls are change balls. The changing direction of the sliding ball and jet ball system is the horizontal direction. In addition, the direction of the curve system change includes the direction of the horizontal component and the vertical component, specifically, the oblique direction between the horizontal direction and the vertical direction. In addition, the direction of change of the finger ball system is the vertical direction.

In addition, the ball type is memorized in a way that is associated with the ball power, ball speed, and amount of change. The power of the ball is information indicating the power of pitching. The power of the ball corresponds to any of the 8 levels of S, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G for each ball type. The S class is the highest, and the G class is the lowest. Compared with a low-powered ball, a high-powered ball is difficult to fly far when the player character hits the ball. The ball speed system indicates the information of the highest pitching speed, and is set corresponding to each ball type. The amount of change is information indicating the amount of change to the changing direction of the changing ball or the size of the track in the changing direction. The amount of change corresponds to any one of the 6 stages of setting 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 for each ball type. 6 ranks are the largest and 1 rank is the smallest. Compared with the situation where the amount of change is small, the amount of change will change in the direction of change. When the ball type is straight, the amount of change is set to 0 or none. Furthermore, in the pitcher character information shown in FIG. 1, the amount of change previously associated with the ball type is set as the reference amount of change. The information associated with the ball type is not limited to the information, for example, it may be associated with information corresponding to each ball type indicating the quality of the ball.

Figure 2 is a diagram showing an example of the character information of a fielder belonging to the team. Each fielder character information is memorized in the player character data. As shown in FIG. 2, the wilder character information system includes information on the name, position, ability, etc. of the player associated with the identification information (player ID) of a single identifying wilder character. The information associated with the player ID is different for each wilder character. Furthermore, the wilder character information is not limited to such information, for example, it may include information indicating the address of a place where the portrait data (including animation) of the wilder character is memorized.

The position is information indicating the position of the character's defense when the user's team is the defensive side. The ability, hitting, strength, and running power are respectively associated and memorized. The batting system represents information about the degree of easy hitting of the thrown ball as the hitter hits. The strength system indicates that it is easy to become information about the degree of long hitting when hitting as a hitter. Running power is information indicating the speed of running a base. Batting, power, and running power are set to any of the 8 stages of S, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. The S class is the highest, and the G class is the lowest. The fielder role is the result of the hit when the hitter strikes, and the ability of hitting the ball and the ability of strength will have an impact. Furthermore, the information associated with the ability is not limited to such information. For example, it may be associated with information indicating the broad defense range of the defender.

The user sets a list of player characters selected from the player characters to which the team belongs. Then, the user selects any one of the mode in which the user's team and the teams of other users are played against, or the mode in which the user's team is played against the computer, to start the game. When the user's team is the defensive side, a match is played in which other hitter characters hit the ball thrown by the pitcher characters on the list set by the user.

In addition, the ball allocation commission button B308 is not a button for the user to select the ball type, but for the computer to touch when it is automatically selected.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the screen G400 displayed when the user selects the ball type of the pitcher character to pitch. On the screen G400, the pitcher character CH301, the hitter character CH302, the catcher character CH303, the match status display item I304, the strike with the item I401, the target cursor I402, the change amount display item I403, the ball type display item I404, and the ball type selection return button are displayed on the screen G400 B405. In addition, the same display system as in FIG. 3 is assigned the same reference numeral, and the description is omitted.

The strike zone props I401 is an area that is judged to be a strike based on the passing of the ball when the pitcher character throws the ball. It is a display prop represented by a quadrangle, specifically a rectangle. The opposite sides of one group of the rectangle are parallel to the vertical direction, and the opposite sides of the other group are parallel to the left and right directions. Also, in the striker belt item I401, a scribe line dividing the area of the striker belt item I401 into 9 areas is displayed. The outside of the strike zone item I401 indicates the area judged as a bad ball. In addition, the strike belt item I401 is displayed in a position that does not overlap with any of the pitcher character CH301, the hitter character CH302, and the catcher character CH303 in order to improve visibility.

The target cursor I402 is an item that uses a circle to indicate the target position of the pitcher character when the ball is used as a straight ball. The target cursor I402 will be displayed regardless of the ball type selected by the user. In other words, the target cursor I402 is not limited to the situation where the ball type is a straight ball, and it will be displayed even if the state of the ball changes. The target cursor I402 is used to select the ball type, and when the screen G400 is displayed, it is displayed superimposed on the center of the strike belt item I401.

The change amount display item I403 is an item indicating the direction and amount of change of the changing ball when the ball type selected by the user is the changing ball. The change amount display item I403 is that the extending direction extending from the target cursor I402 indicates the changing direction of the changing ball, and the length from the target cursor I402 indicates the amount of change. The extension direction of the target cursor I402 extending from the target cursor I402 is determined according to the ball type selected by the user. In addition, the length of the change amount display item I403 from the target cursor I402 is determined by the reference change amount associated with the ball type selected by the user. The longer the change amount display item I403 is, the greater the change amount of the change ball. Furthermore, the change amount display item I403 is not displayed when the ball type selected by the user is a straight ball.

When the selected ball type is a change ball, the user can use the visual recognition target cursor I402 and the change amount display item I403 to confirm the direction and amount of change compared to when a straight ball is thrown. In addition, when the selected ball type is a change ball, the user uses the visual change amount to display whether the tip of the item I403 is within the range of the strike belt item I401. It can be roughly judged that the ball will be judged as a strike or judged as a strike. Bad ball. Ball type display item I404 is an item that displays the ball type selected by the user. The ball type selection return button B405 is the button touched by the user when returning to the screen G300 for selecting the ball type.

In screen G400, the user can select the target position of the pitcher character when pitching. The user can use any position in the reaction area of the touch touch panel to perform a sliding operation from the touch state to change the position of the target cursor I402 to select the target position.

FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of a part of the enlarged screen G400. In FIG. 5, the operation of the user sliding the touch panel from the state of touching the first position P501 along the arrow A502 on the diagonally upper right side to the second position P503 is disclosed. At this time, the target cursor I402 is displayed in the intermittent line of the target cursor I402 of the strike belt item I401 from the center, and moves to the solid line in conjunction with the operation along the arrow A502 caused by the user. The position of the target cursor I402. In addition, the change amount display item I403 moves from the position of the change amount display item I403 indicated by the discontinuous line to the position of the change amount display item I403 indicated by the solid line. Furthermore, the movement amount and movement direction of the target cursor I402 and the change amount display item I403 are consistent with the sliding amount and the sliding direction from the position touched by the user.

In this way, by changing the position of the target cursor I402, the user can select the pitcher character to use the ball as the target position for a straight shot. Furthermore, because the position of the target cursor I402 is changed, the position of the change amount display item I403 will also change. Therefore, when the selected ball type is a change ball, the user can visually change the position of the target cursor I402 when the change amount is displayed. Whether the front end of the item I403 is within the range of the strike belt item I401. Furthermore, the user is not limited to the operation of sliding at any position in the reaction area of the touch panel, and can change the position of the target cursor I402 by directly touching and sliding the drag operation of the target cursor I402.

In this embodiment, when the ball type selected by the user is a change ball, the amount of change of the change ball is changed in accordance with the target position when the ball is thrown with the ball type as a straight ball. In this embodiment, before the actual user performs the operation for the pitcher character to throw the ball, the user can visually understand the method of changing the amount of change in response to the target position when the ball is thrown as a straight ball. The position of the cursor I402 changes the length of the change amount display item I403. In the following description, when it is not specifically mentioned, the target position is described as the target position when the ball is thrown as a straight ball. First, referring to FIGS. 6A and 6B, the relationship between the length of the target cursor I402 and the length of the change amount display item I611 when the amount of change of the changing ball does not change according to the target position will be described. 6A is a diagram showing an example of the displayed change amount display item I611 when the position of the target cursor I402 is respectively changed when the ball type selected by the user is a slide ball and the dominant hand information of the pitcher character is the right hand. Even if the target cursor I402 is at any position from P601 to P604, the length of the change amount display item I611 is La, which is set to be constant. 6B is a diagram showing an example of the displayed change amount display item I631 when the position of the target cursor I402 is respectively changed when the ball type selected by the user is a curve ball and the dominant hand information of the pitcher character is the right hand. Even if the target cursor I402 is at any position from P621 to P624, the length of the change amount display item I631 is Lb, which is set to be constant.

Next, referring to FIGS. 6C and 6D, the relationship between the target cursor I402 and the length of the change amount display item when the change amount of the change ball is changed in accordance with the target position will be described. 6C is a diagram showing an example of the displayed change amount display items I611 to I615 when the position of the target cursor I402 is respectively changed when the ball type selected by the user is a slide ball and the dominant hand information of the pitcher character is the right hand. First, in the position of P601 within the range where the target cursor I402 is the strike zone item I401, the length of the change amount display item I611 is La. Next, when the target cursor I402 is the position of P602, P603, P604 outside the range of the strike belt item I401, and the change direction of the change ball is close to the strike belt item I401, the change amount displays the lengths of the items I612, I613, and I614, respectively It is La1, La2, La3. Here, any of the lengths La1, La2, and La3 is shorter than the length La. Therefore, the user can visually understand the decrease in the amount of change when the changing direction of the changing ball is horizontal, and when the bad ball zone approaches the changing direction of the good ball zone. In addition, the length is La1>La2>La3, and the position of the target cursor I402 becomes shorter as it moves away from the strike zone item I401. Therefore, when the user keeps the changing direction of the changing ball in the horizontal direction and approaching the changing direction from the bad ball zone to the good ball zone, he can visually understand that the more the target position leaves the strike zone, the less the amount of change is.

Furthermore, if the target cursor I402 is within the range of the striker item I401, the length of the change amount display item I611 is always La. In addition, even if the target cursor I402 is the position of P605 outside the range of the striker belt item I401, when the changing direction of the ball moves away from the striker belt item I401, the length of the change amount display item I615 is La. Therefore, the user can visually understand that if the changing direction of the changing ball is the horizontal direction and the target position is within the range of the strike zone, the amount of change does not change. Furthermore, the user can visually understand that if the changing direction of the changing ball is the horizontal direction and the changing direction is further away from the bad ball zone, the amount of change will not change.

6D is a diagram showing an example of the displayed change amount display items I631 to I635 when the position of the target cursor I402 is respectively changed when the ball type selected by the user is a curve ball and the dominant hand information of the pitcher character is the right hand. First, in the position of P621 within the range where the target cursor I402 is the strike zone item I401, the length of the change amount display item I631 is Lb. Next, when the target cursor I402 is the position of P622, P623, and P624 outside the range of the striker belt item I401, and the horizontal component of the changing direction of the change ball is close to the striker belt item I401, the change amount display items I632, I633 The lengths of, I634 are Lb1, Lb2, and Lb3, respectively. Here, any of the lengths Lb1, Lb2, and Lb3 is shorter than the length Lb. In addition, the length is in the relationship of Lb1>Lb2>Lb3, and the position of the target cursor I402 becomes shorter as it moves away from the strike zone item I401.

Furthermore, if the target cursor I402 is within the range of the striker item I401, the length of the change amount display item I631 is always Lb. In addition, even if the target cursor I402 is at the position of P625 outside the range of the striker belt item I401, when the horizontal component in the changing direction of the changing ball leaves from the striker belt item I401, the length of the change amount display item I635 is Lb. In this way, by using the change amount to display the length of the item, the user can visually and intuitively understand that the change amount of the changing ball is changed in response to the target position.

The user changes the position of the target cursor I402, the finger moves away from the touch panel, determines the target position and the amount of change of the changed ball, and actually transfers to the action of the pitcher character to throw the ball. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the animated screen G700 displayed when the user releases the finger from the touch panel. On the screen G700, the pitcher character CH301, the hitter character CH302, the catcher character CH303, the putting circle C701, and the goal circle C702 are displayed. In addition, the same display system as in FIG. 3 is assigned the same reference numeral, and the description is omitted.

The pitcher character CH301 starts a pitching action. The ball release circle C701 is an item used as an indicator for determining the timing of the timing instructed by the user when the user instructs the timing of the release of the pitcher character's ball from the hand. The ball circle C701 is an item represented by a circle. The ball circle C701 gradually decreases in size as time passes. At this time, the putting circle C701 becomes smaller when the center position is the same. The goal circle C702 is the same as the release circle C701. When the user instructs the pitcher character to release the ball from the hand, it is an item used as an indicator for determining the timing instructed by the user. The goal circle C702 is an item represented by a circular ring, and is displayed at the same position as the center of the ball placement circle C701. The goal circle C702 is different from the putting circle C701. Even if time passes, the size will not change.

The user touches the touch panel at the timing when the size of the ball placing circle C701 gradually becomes smaller as the size of the goal circle C702, allowing the pitcher character to throw the ball at an ideal timing. When the ball is thrown at the ideal timing, the power of the ball thrown by the pitcher character can be improved.

On the screen G700, the animation of the action after the pitcher character CH301 throws the ball is continuously displayed. In addition, the ball released from the hand of the pitcher character CH301 is displayed in a manner toward the catcher character CH303 based on the track information of the ball. At this time, when the ball type selected by the user is a changing ball, the orbit information will be affected by the amount of change of the changing ball.

In this embodiment, when the ball type selected by the user is a change ball, the amount of change of the change ball is changed in accordance with the target position. Specifically, as described above, the horizontal component of the changing direction of the changing ball decreases when the bad ball zone approaches the changing direction of the good ball zone. In addition, when the horizontal component of the changing direction of the changing ball approaches the changing direction of the good ball zone from the bad ball zone, the more the target position is away from the strike zone, the less the amount of change is. In this way, the horizontal component of the changing direction of the changing ball decreases when the bad ball zone approaches the changing direction of the good ball zone. Therefore, even if a ball that changes direction from a bad ball zone to a good ball zone is thrown, it can be prevented from becoming a good ball or difficult to become a good ball.

The memory device 107 of the game device 10 stores a game program for executing the game, and the memory device 107 is provided with a data storage unit 1071 that stores various data required for game processing. For example, in the data storage unit 1071, player character data DT1, game situation data DT2, reference data DT3, pitching data DT4, etc. are stored. The player character data DT1 and the reference data DT3 are fixed data that do not depend on the game situation. In addition, the game status data DT2 is a data updated based on the game status. In addition, the pitch data DT4 is data updated based on the ball type selected by the user.

The player character data DT1 is composed of various information related to the player character. For example, the player character data DT1 is composed of pitcher character information of the pitcher character to which the user's team belongs, fielder character information of the fielder character, and so on. In addition, the player character data DT1 includes information related to the player character necessary for playing the game. The game status data DT2 is composed of various information related to the game at the current time point from the start of the game. For example, the game status data DT2 is composed of the number of rounds, scores, presence or absence of runners, number of good goals, number of bad goals, number of rounds, information on the role of the pitcher who boarded the board, and information on the role of the hitter who stands on the bench. In addition, the game status data DT2 includes information related to the game status required for playing the game.

The reference data DT3 is made up of various information necessary for the processing of this embodiment. For example, the reference data DT3 includes the initial value of the position information of the target position, the position information of the determination reference surface, and the ball type information including the change direction of the component in the horizontal direction. In addition, in the reference data DT3, the horizontal component that is judged to be the changing direction of the ball is the position information of the target position (the area of the target position) from the bad ball zone approaching the change direction of the strike zone, and the habitual pitcher character Information of a combination of hand information and ball type information. In addition, the reference data DT3 includes the change amount of the change ball (or the reference change amount), information related to the length of the change amount display item, and the like.

The pitching data DT4 is made up of the information required by the pitcher role for pitching. For example, the pitching data DT4 includes information about the ball type selected by the user, information about the target position selected by the user, and information about the amount of change of the ball.

In addition, the game device 10 includes a game control unit 120, and the function of the game control unit 120 is realized by the CPU 101 executing a game program stored in the memory device 107. The game control unit 120 performs control necessary for the user to perform the game in the game device 10. In addition, the game control unit 120 controls a game in which objects are moved in response to a user's operation in the game space. Here, the game space refers to a virtual three-dimensional space or a two-dimensional space. In this embodiment, the game space is, for example, a virtual three-dimensional space for pitching. User refers to the player of the game. Objects refer to those moving in the game space. In this embodiment, the object is, for example, a ball. Movement refers to activities. In this embodiment, moving means moving in a virtual three-dimensional space, for example. A game refers to a game that includes at least moving objects. In this embodiment, the game system is, for example, a baseball game.

The game control unit 120 further includes a changing unit 121, an accepting unit 122, and a display control unit 123. The changing unit 121 changes the movement of the object according to the target position of the object when the movement of the object is changed in the direction of the change of the horizontal component including the reference plane as the object moves toward the predetermined reference plane.

Here, the reference plane refers to the plane set in the game space. In the present embodiment, the reference surface refers to, for example, a determination reference surface along the vertical direction for determining whether the ball arrives as a good ball or a bad ball. In addition, in this embodiment, the vertical direction is, for example, a direction orthogonal to a horizontal plane set in the game space. The horizontal direction refers to the direction parallel to the reference plane and parallel to the horizontal plane set in the game space. In this embodiment, the horizontal direction refers to, for example, a direction parallel to the determination reference plane and a direction orthogonal to the vertical direction. The changing direction of the component including the horizontal direction refers to the direction including at least the direction parallel to the horizontal plane, except for the case of only the direction in the vertical direction. In the present embodiment, the change direction of the component including the horizontal direction refers to a situation in which, for example, only the direction in the vertical direction is included in addition to the direction parallel to the determination reference plane. Change refers to change. In the present embodiment, the change means that, for example, the orbit of the thrown ball is curved. The amount of change refers to the size of the change. In the present embodiment, the amount of change refers to, for example, the size of the bend when the ball is bent. The target position refers to the position set as the target when the object is moved toward the reference surface without changing the object. In the present embodiment, the target position refers to a position set as a target when the ball type is set as a straight ball in the game space and the ball is thrown toward the determination reference surface when it reaches the determination reference surface, for example. In addition, the amount of change corresponding to the target position of the object refers to a situation where the target position of the object is the first position, and the amount of change is set to a different amount of change in the situation where the target position of the object is the first position and the second position different from the first position.

In addition, the changing unit 121 changes the amount of change that changes the movement of the object in accordance with the horizontal component of the reference surface of the changing direction, as the object moves toward the reference surface and changes the direction of the component in the horizontal direction including the reference surface. In addition, the changing unit 121 is set in the target position outside the predetermined range of the reference surface, and as the object is moved toward the reference surface, the direction of the change along the reference surface changes from outside the predetermined range to the predetermined range. When the direction is changed, the change is made to reduce the amount of change that changes the movement of the object in the direction of change as the object is moved toward the reference plane. Here, changing along the reference surface means changing in parallel to the reference surface regardless of whether it is touching or leaving the reference surface. In the present embodiment, changing along the reference surface means changing in parallel to the determination reference surface regardless of contact or departure from the determination reference surface, for example. The prescribed range refers to the area pre-determined on the datum plane. In this embodiment, the predetermined range is, for example, a strike zone set on the judgment reference surface. In the present embodiment, the strike zone means, for example, an area that is judged to be a strike when a ball that reaches the judgment reference surface passes through. The outside of the specified range refers to the outside of the area set in advance on the reference plane. In this embodiment, the outside of the predetermined range is, for example, set on the outside of the strike zone of the determination reference surface, and is the bad zone. In the present embodiment, the bad ball zone refers to, for example, an area that is judged to be a bad ball when a ball that has reached the judgment reference surface passes through. Approaching the aforementioned predetermined range from outside the predetermined range refers to approaching the area from the outside of the area predetermined on the reference surface when viewed from a direction orthogonal to the reference surface. In the present embodiment, approaching the aforementioned predetermined range from outside the predetermined range means, for example, when viewed from a direction orthogonal to the determination reference plane, approaching from the bad ball zone to the strike zone.

In addition, when the changing unit 121 moves the object along the change direction of the reference surface as the object is moved toward the reference surface, and includes a component in which the horizontal direction on the reference surface is close to the change direction of the reference point set on the reference surface , According to the position in the horizontal direction from the aforementioned reference point of the target position, the amount of change that changes the movement of the object in the aforementioned direction as the object moves toward the reference surface is changed. Here, the reference point refers to a point set on a reference surface, which becomes a reference point for specifying the position of the target position in the horizontal direction. In the present embodiment, the reference point refers to, for example, any point set on the reference line of the determination reference surface, which becomes a reference point for specifying how far the target position is in the horizontal direction. In this embodiment, the reference line refers to, for example, a line along a vertical direction passing through the center of the strike zone.

In addition, the changing unit 121 specifies the direction of change based on the information of the character's dominant hand and the information of the type of ball thrown by the aforementioned character. Here, the role refers to the object that appears in the game. The character of the present embodiment is, for example, a pitcher character for pitching. The dominant hand refers to the arm used to move the object. The dominant hand of this embodiment is, for example, the arm of the pitcher character when pitching. Specific refers to finding the equivalent.

The accepting unit 122 accepts various operations from the user. In addition, the receiving unit 122 receives a movement instruction of the target position of the object from the user. Here, the movement instruction refers to the instruction to move. In this embodiment, the movement instruction refers to, for example, the user instructs movement by touching any position and sliding from the touched state.

The display control unit 123 performs various display processing on the display unit 106. In addition, the display control unit 123 displays the target position changed in response to the movement instruction received by the receiving unit 122 on the display unit 106 while receiving the movement instruction from the user's target position by the receiving unit 122, and displays In accordance with the target position, the display item whose length is changed in a manner corresponding to the amount of change changed by the changing unit 121 is displayed on the display unit 106. Here, the display item refers to the portrait displayed on the display unit 106. In this embodiment, the display item refers to, for example, a change amount display item.

In addition, the display control unit 123 is divided into a plurality of ranges based on the reference plane, and in response to the plurality of ranges including the range of the target position changed by the movement instruction accepted by the acceptance processing, the length of the display item is changed and displayed.

[3. The processing flow in the game system] Hereinafter, the processing flow of the game device 10 of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the process from the user selecting the type of ball thrown by the pitcher character to the end of the pitching in the game by the game device 10 of the present embodiment. The processing described below is realized by the CPU 101 reading the game program stored in the memory device 107 to the RAM 103 and executing the game program.

The flowchart of FIG. 10 is a state where the game control unit 120 executes a game against another user's team or against a computer. It starts when the user's team is the defender and it is determined that the predetermined conditions are met. deal with. For example, if the number of rounds is set between the 1st and 8th rounds, and the runner is at 2nd or 3rd base, and the number of rounds is 9th, the user’s team scores more than the opponent’s ball The status of the team’s score, etc. However, the game control unit 120 may start processing in all situations where the user's team is the defender or randomly.

The processing from S101 to S102 is a process that allows the user to select the type of ball thrown by the pitcher character and obtain the information of the ball type. First, in S101, the display control unit 123 displays a screen G300 for allowing the user to select the type of ball thrown by the pitcher character. Specifically, first, the game control unit 120 identifies the player ID of the pitcher character boarded at the current time based on the game situation data DT2, and extracts the pitcher character information corresponding to the player ID from the player character data DT1. Next, the display control unit 123 selectively displays the types of balls that the pitcher character can throw based on the extracted pitcher character information. In addition, the display control unit 123 displays the power, the speed, and the reference change amount associated with the ball type based on the extracted pitcher character information. Through the processing of the display control unit 123, the screen G300 shown in FIG. 3 is displayed on the display unit 106.

In S102, the receiving unit 122 receives the selection of the ball type by the user. When the user touches the touch panel and selects any of the ball type selection buttons B311a to B315a, the receiving unit 122 obtains the ball type information corresponding to the selected ball type selection button B311a to B315a, and stores it in the pitching data DT4.

In S103, the display control unit 123 displays an initial screen for the user to select a target position when the pitcher character throws the ball. In addition, the target position in the present embodiment refers to a position set as a target when the ball type is set as a straight ball in the game space and the ball is thrown toward the determination reference surface when it reaches the determination reference surface. In addition, the determination reference surface in this embodiment refers to a surface along the vertical direction used to determine whether the ball arrives as a good or bad ball. The judgment reference plane is set on the home plate. Instead of letting the user select the actual target location, the target cursor I402 corresponding to the target location is used to select the target location. Specifically, first, the display control unit 123 displays the strike zone item I401 corresponding to the strike zone set on the determination reference surface. In addition, the display control unit 123 superimposes and displays the target cursor I402 at the center of the strike zone item I401. In addition, when the ball type selected by the user is not a straight ball, that is, when the ball type selected by the user is changed, the display control unit 123 obtains the information of the reference change amount associated with the ball type selected by the user. The display control unit 123 corresponds to the reference amount of change, and displays the amount of change display item I403. The display control unit 123 system changes the ball with a larger reference amount of change, and increases the length of the display item I403 of the display change amount. Furthermore, the display control unit 123 determines the extension direction of the display item I403 by the amount of change extended from the target cursor I402 according to the ball type selected by the user. In the reference data DT3, memorize the reference change amount, and the information associated with the length of the change amount display item I403. Therefore, the display control unit 123 can use the reference reference data DT3 to display the change amount display item I403. Through the processing of the display control unit 123, the screen G400 shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the display unit 106.

The processing from S104 to S112 is a process of displaying the amount of change in response to the selected target position when the ball type selected by the user is a change ball. The processing from S104 to S112 is repeated until the movement instruction of the target position ends. First, in S104, the receiving unit 122 receives a movement instruction of the target position caused by the user, and the game control unit 120 changes the target position in response to the movement instruction of the target position, obtains the position information of the changed target position, and memorizes it. In pitching data DT4. Specifically, the accepting unit 122 accepts the user's sliding operation from the state of touching the touch panel, and obtains the sliding amount and the sliding direction from the touched position. The game control unit 120 converts the sliding amount and sliding direction from the touched position into the sliding amount and sliding direction in the game space, adding or subtracting the position information of the target position memorized in the pitching data DT4, thereby updating the target Location information for the location. Furthermore, when initially advancing to S104, since the pitch data DT4 does not memorize the position information of the target position, the game control unit 120 obtains the initial value of the position information of the target position from the reference data DT3, and then updates the position information of the target position. Memorized in pitching data DT4.

In S105, the game control unit 120 determines whether the ball type selected by the user is a change ball. When the ball type is not a change ball, that is, when it is a straight ball, there is no need to display the amount of change, so let's deal with differences. If it is a change ball, proceed to S106, and if it is not a change ball, proceed to S111.

In S106, the game control unit 120 determines whether the changing direction of the changing ball is a predetermined condition. The conditions specified in this embodiment refer to [1] The changing direction of the changing ball is the changing direction of the component including the horizontal direction, and [2] The changing direction of the changing ball is the changing direction from the bad ball zone to the good ball zone. More details In other words, the horizontal component in the changing direction of the changing ball is the state of approaching the changing direction from the bad ball zone to the good ball zone. First, the game control unit 120 determines whether [1] the changing direction of the changing ball is a changing direction including a horizontal component based on the information of the ball type selected by the user. In the reference data DT3, it is used as the information of the ball type that changes in the direction of the change of the component including the horizontal direction, such as the information of the memory slide ball, the jet ball, and the curve ball. Therefore, the game control unit 120 can use the reference data DT3 to determine whether the changing direction of the changing ball is a changing direction including a horizontal component.

In addition, the game control unit 120 determines whether it is the horizontal component of the [2] changing direction of the ball based on the updated position information of the target position, the information of the dominant hand of the pitcher character, and the information of the ball type selected by the user. It is the direction of change from the bad ball zone to the good ball zone. Here, the information of the dominant hand is referred to because the information of the ball type alone cannot specify the direction of change. That is, because even the same ball type, the direction of change due to the dominant hand will become a different direction. For example, if the target position is the bad ball zone on the right side of the good ball zone, the dominant hand information of the pitcher character is the right hand, and the ball type is slippery or curved, it is determined that the horizontal component of the changing direction of the ball is The direction of change from the bad ball zone approaching the good ball zone. Also, when the target position is the bad ball zone on the left side of the good ball zone, the dominant hand information of the pitcher character is the right hand, and the ball type is a shot ball, it is determined that the horizontal component of the changing direction of the ball is from the bad ball. The belt approaches the direction of change of the strike belt.

On the other hand, when the target position is the bad ball zone on the right side of the good ball zone, the dominant hand information of the pitcher character is the left hand, and the ball type is a jet ball, it is determined that the horizontal component of the changing direction of the changing ball is from The bad ball belt is close to the change direction of the good ball belt. Also, when the target position is the bad ball zone on the left side of the good ball zone, the dominant hand information of the pitcher character is the left hand, and the ball type is a slip or curve ball, it is determined that the horizontal component in the changing direction of the changing ball is The direction of change from the bad ball zone approaching the good ball zone.

In the reference data DT3, the horizontal component of the change direction of the ball determined to be changed is the position information of the target position from the bad ball zone approaching the change direction of the strike zone, the information of the dominant hand of the pitcher character, and the information of the ball type. Information about the combination. Therefore, the game control unit 120 can use the reference data DT3 to determine whether the horizontal component in the changing direction of the changing ball is the changing direction from the bad ball zone to the good ball zone. If the horizontal component in the changing direction of the changing ball is the predetermined condition, proceed to S107, and if not, proceed to S109.

In S107, the changing unit 121 changes the amount of change of the changed ball in response to the updated target position, and memorizes the information of the changed amount of change in the pitch data DT4. Here, the changing unit 121 changes the amount of change of the changing ball so as to be a different amount from the reference amount of change associated with the ball type. Specifically, the changing unit 121 changes the amount of change in such a way that the amount of change decreases compared to the updated target position when the strike zone. Furthermore, it is determined in S106 that [2] The horizontal component of the changing direction of the changing ball is from the bad ball zone approaching the changing direction of the good ball zone and proceeding to S107. In S107, the target position is regarded as the bad ball zone. premise. Furthermore, the changing unit 121 changes so as to reduce the amount of change of the changing ball as the distance from the reference line to the target position increases. More specifically, the changing unit 121 uses the amount of change of the changed ball when the distance between the updated target position and the strike zone is shorter than that when the distance between the updated target position and the strike zone is farther. Change in the way that the amount of change is reduced. In the reference data DT3, the distance from the reference line set on the determination reference plane to the target position separated in the horizontal direction is stored, and the information is associated with the amount of change.

FIG. 12A is a diagram for explaining information relating to the distance from the reference line to the target position and the amount of change. The strike zone ST1202 set on the determination reference plane F1201 is shown in FIG. 12A. On the determination reference plane F1201, a reference line RL1203 along the vertical direction passing through the center of the strike zone ST1202 is set. In addition, the position separated from the reference line RL1203 by the distance L1206 in the horizontal direction is the marginal line of the strike zone ST1202. The characteristic line Gr1209 is an example of information relating the distance from the reference line RL1203 to the target position in the horizontal direction and the amount of change. The characteristic line Gr1209 indicates that the amount of change in the target position from the reference line RL1203 in the horizontal direction to the distance L1206 is constant, but it continuously decreases in proportion to the distance L1206 becoming larger. Furthermore, the amount of change from the reference line RL1203 in the horizontal direction to the distance L1206 corresponds to the reference amount of change associated with the ball type selected by the user. Therefore, from the horizontal direction of the reference line RL1203 to the farther target position P1205, the amount of change is relatively small compared to the horizontal direction from the reference line RL1203 to the closer target position P1204.

In this way, in the reference data DT3, since the distance from the reference line to the target position separated in the horizontal direction is memorized, and the information associated with the amount of change is stored, the changing unit 121 can use the reference data DT3 to respond to the updated target position. Change the amount of change of the change ball. Furthermore, the reference data DT3 does not limit the storage of the distance from the reference line to the target position separated in the horizontal direction, and the status of the information associated with the amount of change. In the reference data DT3, the distance from the target position to the strike zone is memorized, and information related to the amount of change is also acceptable. At this time, the memory and the distance between the target position and the strike zone increase in proportion to the information of the amount of change that continuously decreases. Furthermore, the distance between the target position and the strike zone refers to the shortest straight-line distance from the target position to the strike zone.

In S108, the display control unit 123 displays the updated target position and the changed amount of change. Specifically, the display control unit 123 displays the target cursor I402 at the position of the movement amount and the movement direction consistent with the sliding amount and the sliding direction from the touched position acquired in S104. However, the display control unit 123 corresponds to the updated position information of the target position, and the target cursor I402 may also be displayed. Furthermore, when proceeding from S106 to S108 via S107, since the target position is a bad ball zone, the display control unit 123 displays the target cursor I402 at a position that does not overlap the strike zone item I401. In addition, the display control unit 123 is linked to the position of the target cursor I402, and also changes the position of the display item I403 of the display change amount. On the other hand, the display control unit 123 changes the length of the display item corresponding to the changed amount of change. The display control unit 123 changes the length of the display item in response to the size of the changed amount of change. Here, when proceeding to S108, since the amount of change decreases from the reference amount of change, the length of the change amount display item is shorter than the length of the change amount display item I403 displayed on the screen G400 shown in FIG. 4. In the reference data DT3, the change amount of the change ball is memorized, and the information related to the length of the change amount display item is established. Here, the memory displays the information of the length of the item in proportion to the amount of change of the changing ball and continuously different amounts of change. Therefore, the display control unit 123 can use the reference reference data DT3 to change the length of the change amount display item. Through the processing of the display control unit 123, for example, as shown in FIG. 6C, as the target cursor I402 moves away from the strike belt item I401 like P602, P603, P604, the length of the change amount display items I612, I613, and I614 are as follows: The display gradually becomes shorter like La1, La2, and La3.

In S109, the changing unit 121 sets the amount of change of the changing ball to a constant regardless of the updated target position, and stores the information of the amount of change in the pitch data DT4. Here, the changing unit 121 directly determines the reference change amount associated with the ball type as the change amount of the changing ball. Therefore, the amount of change of the changing ball is based on the ratio determined as [2] The horizontal component of the changing direction of the changing ball is the direction of change from the bad ball zone to the good ball zone, and then progresses to S107, which is reduced in S107. The amount of changes in the method changes is still large. In S110, the display control unit 123 displays the updated target position and the amount of change. Specifically, the display control unit 123 displays the target cursor I402 at the position of the movement amount and the movement direction consistent with the sliding amount and the sliding direction from the touched position acquired in S104. This processing is the same as the processing of displaying the target cursor I402 in S108. Furthermore, when proceeding from S106 to S110 via S109, there are updated target positions for the condition of the good ball zone and the condition of the bad ball zone. Therefore, the display control unit 123 displays the target cursor I402 at a position that overlaps or does not overlap with the strike zone item I401. In addition, the display control unit 123 is linked to the position of the target cursor I402, and also changes the position of the display item I403 of the display change amount. However, since the change amount directly uses the reference change amount, the display control unit 123 uses the same length as the length of the change amount display item I403 displayed in S103, and the display change amount displays the length of the item. Through the processing of the display control unit 123, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, if the target cursor I402 is within the range of the strike belt item I401, a display in which the length of the change amount display item I403 is not changed is realized. Also, even if the target position is a bad ball zone, when the horizontal component in the changing direction of the changing ball is not from the bad ball zone approaching the changing direction of the good ball zone, for example, as shown in FIG. 6C, the target cursor I402 is the position of P605. The display of the time change amount shows that the length of the item I615 will not be changed.

On the other hand, when the ball type is not a change ball in S105, that is, when the ball is straight, it advances to S111. In S111, the display control unit 123 displays the updated target position. Specifically, the display control unit 123 displays the target cursor I402 at the position of the movement amount and the movement direction consistent with the sliding amount and the sliding direction from the touched position acquired in S104. This processing is the same as the processing of displaying the target cursor I402 in S108. In addition, when the ball type is a straight ball, since there is no need to display the amount of change, the changing unit 121 does not perform processing related to the amount of change.

In S112, the receiving unit 122 determines whether the target position has been determined. Specifically, the receiving unit 122 determines that the target position has been determined when the user's finger leaves the touch panel, that is, when the touch ends, and when the touch state is maintained, it determines that the target position has not been determined. When it is determined that the target position has been determined, the process proceeds to S113. If it is determined that the target position has not been determined, the process returns to S104, and the processing from S104 to S112 is repeated until the target position is determined. The accepting unit 122 can obtain the sliding amount and the sliding direction at a high sampling rate when the user is sliding from the state of the touch panel, and continuously accept the movement instructions of the target position. At this time, the game control unit 120 can be used to repeat the processing from S104 to S112 every time the sample is taken, and the target cursor I402 is displayed corresponding to the target position obtained by the sample, or the change corresponding to the change amount changed every time the sample is displayed. The amount of display props.

Here, referring to FIG. 12A, when the user slides from the touch state, the display transition of the change amount display item displayed when the processing from S104 to S112 is repeatedly executed is described. Here, by the user sliding from the state of the touch panel, the game control unit 120 updates the target position from the target position P1204 to the target position P1205 through the update of the plural target positions. This operation is equivalent to the operation of moving and indicating the target position so that the distance from the reference line to the target position gradually increases. Here, as explained in S107, in the reference data DT3, information relating the distance from the reference line to the target position and the amount of change is stored. For example, in the reference data DT3, the memory is proportional to the distance from the reference line to the target position, and the information is continuously reduced. In addition, as explained in the above S108, in the reference data DT3, the change amount of the change ball is memorized, and the change amount displays information related to the length of the item.

First, the display control unit 123 uses the reference reference data DT3 to display the item I612 based on the amount of change associated with the distance from the reference line RL1203 to the target position P1204, for example, displaying the amount of change of the length La1 shown in FIG. 6C. Next, the receiving unit 122 receives a movement instruction of the user's target position, and until the game control unit 120 updates the target position from the target position P1204 to the target position P1205, the display control unit 123 repeats the processing from S104 to S112. Therefore, the display control unit 123 displays the amount of change associated with the distance from the reference line RL1203 to the target position P1205. For example, the amount of change of the length La3 shown in FIG. 6C is displayed between the items I614, and the target cursor I402 is also displayed. Show the props with the amount of change. That is, the display control unit 123 displays, for example, the change amount display item I613 of the length La2 shown in FIG. 6C.

At this time, the length La2 of the change amount display item I613 is proportional to the increase in the distance from the reference line RL1203 to the target position. The length associated with the continuously decreasing change amount is shorter than the length La1 of the change amount display item I613. . Furthermore, the length La3 of the change amount display item I614 is proportional to the increase in the distance from the reference line RL1203 to the target position, and the length associated with the continuously reduced change amount is shorter than the length La2 of the change amount display item I613. As a result, the display control unit 123 displays the item in such a way that the length of the display item is continuously reduced by the change amount when the user performs a movement instruction to update the target position from the target position P1204 to the target position P1205. Therefore, the user can recognize that the amount of change continuously decreases as the target position leaves the strike zone. Conversely, when the display control unit 123 performs a movement instruction to update the target position from the target position P1205 to the target position P1204, the display control unit 123 displays the item by continuously increasing the length of the change amount display item. Therefore, the user can recognize that the amount of change continuously increases as the target position approaches the strike zone. In this way, the display control unit 123 displays the item by continuously changing the length of the change amount display item when the user slides from the touch state.

Returning to the flowchart of FIG. 10, when it is determined in S112 that the target position has been determined, the process proceeds to S113. When proceeding to S113, in the pitching data DT4, the information of the ball type selected by the user, the amount of change information when the ball type selected by the user is changed, and the position information of the target position are memorized. The processing from S113 to S115 is based on the information stored in the pitching data DT4 to display the pitching animation of the pitcher character.

In S113, the display control unit 123 starts to display the animation of the pitcher character performing the pitching. In addition, the display control unit 123 displays the ball release circle C701 and the goal circle C702 so as to be concentric, and starts the display of the animation in which the size of the ball release circle C701 is gradually reduced.

In S114, the accepting unit 122 accepts the timing when the pitcher character ball is released from the user. The receiving unit 122 starts an animation that reduces the size of the ball dropping circle C701 over time, and obtains timing information when the user touches the touch panel. The receiving unit 122 stores the acquired timing information in the pitching data DT4. Here, the timing information will affect the ball power associated with the ball type selected by the user. For example, when the size of the putting circle C701 becomes the same as the size of the goal circle C702, the timing information when the user touches the ball will give the effect of improving the power of the ball. On the other hand, when the size of the putting circle C701 becomes a different size larger or smaller than the size of the goal circle C702, the timing information when the user touches the ball will give the effect of reducing the power of the ball. Furthermore, the timing information is not limited to the power of the ball, and may be at least any one that affects the target position, the speed of the ball, and the amount of change of the ball.

In S115, when determining the target position, the game control unit 120, in addition to the information memorized in the pitch data DT4, generates the ball speed information associated with the ball type selected by the user, and then reaches the determination reference surface after releasing the ball. The track information of the ball in the game space so far. At this time, the game control unit 120 may correct at least any one of the position information of the target position, the information of the ball speed, and the information of the amount of change of the changing ball based on the timing information.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of orbit information viewed from a vertical direction in the game space, that is, viewed from a direction orthogonal to a horizontal plane set in the game space. Here, the trajectory information T1 and T2 when the pitcher character CH1101 throws the ball toward the determination reference plane F1102 is disclosed. In addition, the ball zone ST1103 is set in a part of the determination reference plane F1102. In addition, a reference line RL1108 is set at the center of the strike zone ST1103. Here, since the game space is viewed from the vertical direction, the reference line RL1108 can be replaced as a reference point. The track information T1 is the changing direction of the changing direction of the ball from the reference line RL1108 in the horizontal direction. More specifically, the ball type of track information T1 is a slide ball or a curve ball, and the dominant hand information of the pitcher character is the right hand. [1] Because the changing direction of the changing ball is the changing direction including the horizontal component, but the target position is P1104 In the strike zone ST1103, [2] The horizontal component of the changing direction of the changing ball is not the orbit information when approaching from the bad ball zone to the changing direction of the strike zone. At this time, in order to proceed from the above-mentioned S106 to the processing of S109, in S109, the changing unit 121 directly determines the reference change amount associated with the ball type as the change amount of the changing ball. Here, the track information T1 changes from the target position P1104 in the horizontal direction to, for example, a position P1105 separated by a distance S1.

On the other hand, the trajectory information T2 refers to the direction of change in which the direction of change of the changing ball approaches the horizontal direction from the reference line RL1108. More specifically, the track information T2 is because the ball type is a slide ball or a curve ball, and the pitcher character’s dominant hand information is right-handed. [1] Because the changing direction of the ball is the direction of change including the horizontal component, and the target position P1106 is not in the good ball zone ST1103, but in the bad ball zone, [2] The horizontal component of the changing direction of the changing ball is the orbit information when the bad ball zone approaches the changing direction of the good ball zone. At this time, in order to proceed from the above-mentioned S106 to the processing of S107, in S107, the changing unit 121 changes the amount of change so that the amount of change is reduced compared to when the target position is the strike zone ST1103. Therefore, the track information T2 changes from the target position P1106 in the horizontal direction only to the position P1107 which is away from the distance S2 which is shorter than the distance S1 of the track information T1. In this way, the change amount of the change ball is changed according to the horizontal component of the change direction of the determination reference plane F1102. Specifically, when the component in the horizontal direction approaches the reference line RL1108, it is changed in such a way that the amount of change decreases compared to when it is separated from the reference line PL1108. In addition, the amount of change of the changing ball is [2] When the changing direction of the changing ball is from the bad ball zone approaching the changing direction of the good ball zone ST1103, compared to the changing direction of the changing ball, the horizontal component is not from the bad ball zone. The method of decreasing when approaching the change direction of strike zone ST1103 is changed.

The display control unit 123 uses the method of projecting the generated trajectory information to the display unit 106 for conversion, and displays the animation of the ball thrown by the pitcher character toward the hitter character or the catcher character. When the game control unit 120 determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied after the display of the animation is finished, the process of S101 to S115 is repeated again. As explained above, the changing direction of the changing ball includes the changing direction of the horizontal component, and the horizontal component of the changing direction of the changing ball approaches the changing direction from the bad ball zone to the changing direction of the good ball zone, and the amount of change decreases. Therefore, even if a ball that changes direction from a bad ball zone to a good ball zone is thrown, it can be prevented from becoming a good ball or difficult to become a good ball. Therefore, it can be suppressed that when the user manipulates the pitcher character, the changing direction of the ball from the bad ball zone approaching the strike zone can be suppressed, and the situation of a good ball can be easily obtained. In addition, when the user operates the hitter character, it is difficult to change into a good ball even if the pitcher throws a changing ball from a bad ball zone to a changing direction of the strike zone, and it can be judged not to swing. As a result, when the pitcher role is used to throw a change ball, the number of balls that the hitter character can easily hit increases, and there is a high possibility of a so-called hitting battle. Therefore, the game can be more interesting.

According to the above-mentioned embodiment, a program is implemented to control a game that moves objects in response to user operations in the game space. As the objects move toward a predetermined reference surface, the program includes the aforementioned reference When the change direction of the horizontal component of the plane changes the movement of the aforementioned object, the amount of change that changes the movement of the aforementioned object is changed in accordance with the target position of the aforementioned object. Since the amount of change is changed in response to the target position of the object, compared to the amount of change that is not related to the target position, it is set to a certain condition, which can enhance the fun of the game. Specifically, the changing unit 121 moves the ball toward the determination reference surface set in the game space to the direction of change including the horizontal component of the determination reference surface, that is, the horizontal direction or between the horizontal direction and the vertical direction. When the movement of the ball is changed in the oblique direction of, the amount of change that changes the movement of the ball is changed according to the target position of the ball. Therefore, since the amount of change is changed in response to the target position of the ball, compared to the amount of change regardless of the target position, it is set to a certain situation, which can enhance the fun of the game.

In addition, according to the present embodiment, in the modification process, based on the horizontal component of the reference surface in the direction of change, the component that includes the horizontal component of the reference surface is changed as the object moves toward the reference surface. The amount of change by which the direction of change changes the movement of the aforementioned object. Therefore, compared to the situation where the amount of change is not changed according to the horizontal component, the game can be more interesting. Specifically, the horizontal component in the changing direction of the changing ball is the amount of change when it changes from a bad ball zone to a good ball zone, and the horizontal component in the changing direction of the changing ball is when it changes from a good ball zone to a bad ball zone. The amount of change is not changed. Therefore, since the component in the horizontal direction of the changing direction of the changing ball is changed when the predetermined condition is changed, the game can be more interesting compared to the situation where the amount of change is not changed according to the component in the horizontal direction.

In addition, according to this embodiment, the program is used to make the computer perform the following processing: acceptance processing is to accept the movement instructions of the target position of the aforementioned object from the user; and display processing is to accept the movement instructions from the user through the aforementioned acceptance processing Between the movement instructions of the aforementioned target position, the aforementioned target position changed in response to the movement instruction accepted by the aforementioned acceptance processing is displayed on the display unit, and the aforementioned target position is corresponding to the amount of change changed by the aforementioned change processing. The display item whose length is changed by the method is displayed on the aforementioned display section. Therefore, the user can use the movement instruction of the target position to visually understand that the amount of change has been changed. Specifically, the display control unit 123 receives the movement instruction from the user to change the position of the target cursor I402 indicating the target position by the accepting unit 122, and responds to the change in the movement instruction accepted by the accepting unit 122 The target cursor I402 is displayed on the display unit 106. In addition, the display control unit 123 displays on the display unit 106 a display item whose length is changed in accordance with the amount of change changed by the change unit 121 in accordance with the target position. Therefore, the user can use the visual change amount to display the item, and visually understand that the change amount has been changed.

In addition, according to the modification described later, in the display process, the reference plane is divided into plural ranges. As the plural ranges include the range of the target position changed by the movement instruction accepted by the acceptance process, the target position is changed and displayed The foregoing shows the length of the item. Therefore, the user can use the movement instruction of the target position to visually understand the range divided into a plurality of ranges and change the amount of change.

In addition, according to the present embodiment, in the modification process, as the object is moved toward the reference surface, the movement of the object is moved along the change direction of the reference surface, and the horizontal direction included in the reference surface is set close to In the case of the component of the change direction of the reference point of the reference surface, based on the position in the horizontal direction from the reference point of the target position, the movement of the object in the direction of the change as the object is moved toward the reference surface is changed The amount of change. Therefore, since the amount of change is changed according to multiple factors such as the direction of change and the position from the reference point of the target position, the game can be more interesting. Specifically, the changing unit 121 moves the ball along the change direction of the determination reference surface as the ball is moved toward the determination reference surface. The horizontal direction included on the reference surface is close to one of the reference lines set on the determination reference surface. When changing the component of the direction, based on the position in the horizontal direction from the reference line of the target position, the amount of change that changes the movement of the ball in the aforementioned changing direction as the ball is moved toward the determination reference surface is changed. Therefore, since the user can change the amount of change of the ball according to the plural factors, the fun of the game can be improved. In addition, the reference point set on the judgment reference plane is not a reference line, but may be used as a reference point.

In addition, according to the present embodiment, in the modification process, the target position is set outside the predetermined range of the reference surface, and as the object is moved toward the reference surface, the movement of the object is along the reference surface. The change direction of the change is when the change direction of the predetermined range is approached from outside the predetermined range, the change is changed in such a way as to reduce the amount of change that changes the movement of the object in the direction of change as the object moves toward the reference plane. Therefore, compared with a certain amount of change, the game can be more interesting. Specifically, the changing unit 121 is located outside the range of the strike zone set on the judgment reference surface, and as the ball is moved toward the judgment reference surface, the direction of the change in the movement of the ball along the judgment reference surface is When approaching the direction of change of the range of the strike zone from outside the range of the strike zone, the change is changed so that the amount of change of the ball in the aforementioned change direction decreases as the ball is moved toward the determination reference surface. Therefore, since the user can be prevented from easily getting good shots, the fun of the game can be improved.

In addition, according to this embodiment, the game is a baseball game, the object is a ball, and the character in the game space is used to throw a changing ball to change the trajectory of the ball in a changing direction. Therefore, the user can change the amount of change when the character throws the change ball according to the target position, so that the user can enjoy the strategy with other users in the game. In addition, according to the present embodiment, in the aforementioned change processing, the direction of change is specified based on the information of the character's dominant hand and the information of the type of ball thrown by the aforementioned character. Because even the same ball type, the direction of change due to the dominant hand is reversed, so the information indicating the dominant hand can be used to reliably specify the direction of change.

[4. Modifications] The embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the drawings, but the specific structure is not limited to the foregoing embodiment, and can be appropriately changed without departing from the gist of the present invention.

For example, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the case where the object is a ball has been described, but it is not limited to the ball. For example, setting the object as a ball is also suitable for ball skills. Set the object as a flying body, which is also suitable for sports such as badminton and badminton. Also, in this embodiment, it can be used for esports competitions.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, for the reference data DT3, the information relating the distance from the reference line to the target position and the amount of change is memorized. For example, the memory is proportional to the increase in the distance from the reference line to the target position. The situation of the information of the change amount of the land decrease is explained, but it is not limited to this situation.

For example, in the reference data DT3, information on the amount of change that gradually decreases as the distance from the reference line to the target position becomes larger may be memorized. FIG. 12B is a diagram for explaining information relating to the distance from the reference line to the target position and the amount of change. The strike zone ST1212 set on the determination reference plane F1211 is shown in FIG. 12B. On the determination reference plane F1211, a reference line RL1213 along the vertical direction passing through the center of the strike zone ST1212 is set. In addition, the position separated from the reference line RL1213 by the distance L1216 in the horizontal direction is the marginal line of the strike zone ST1212. The characteristic line Gr1219 is an example of information relating the distance from the reference line RL1213 to the target position in the horizontal direction and the amount of change. The characteristic line Gr1219 means that the target position has a constant amount of change from the reference line RL1213 in the horizontal direction to the distance L1216, but it is gradually reduced to a distance L1217 that is greater than the distance L1216, and then more gradually reduced to a distance that is greater than the distance L1217. The distance is L1218. That is, outside the range of the strike zone ST1212, the range is divided into ranges A1220 and A1221, and the amount of change is different in each range. Furthermore, the amount of change from the reference line RL1213 in the horizontal direction to the distance L1216 corresponds to the reference amount of change associated with the ball type selected by the user.

In this way, in the reference data DT3, information on the amount of change that gradually decreases as the distance from the reference line to the target position increases, that is, information for determining the amount of change in each range of the reference surface may be stored. At this time, when the user swipes from the touch panel and the game control unit 120 updates the target position from the target position P1214 to the target position P1215, when the range A1220 exceeds the boundary of the range 1221, the display control The part 123 changes and displays the length of the item according to the stepwise decrease of the change amount memorized in the reference data DT3. As a result, when the target position is updated from the target position P1214 to the target position P1215, the display control unit 123 performs display in such a manner that the length of the display item is gradually reduced by the amount of change. Therefore, the user can recognize that the amount of change gradually decreases as the target position leaves the strike zone. Conversely, when the target position is updated from the target position P1215 to the target position P1214, the display control unit 123 displays the item by gradually increasing the length of the change amount display item. Therefore, the user can recognize that the amount of change gradually increases as the target position approaches the strike zone. In this way, the display control unit 123 may perform display by gradually changing the length of the display item by changing the amount of change when the user slides from the touch state.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, [1] the changing direction of the changing ball is the changing direction including the horizontal component, and [2] the changing direction of the changing ball is the horizontal component approaching the good ball from the bad ball zone. In the case of the change direction of the belt, the description will be made on the situation where the change is made to reduce the amount of change, but it is not limited to this situation. For example, when the horizontal direction included in the reference surface is close to the change direction of the reference line set in the determination reference surface, the amount of change may be changed based on the position in the horizontal direction from the reference line of the target position. At this time, the change may be changed so that the closer the target position is to the reference line, the smaller the amount of change, or the farther away from the base line, the greater the amount of change.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, [1] the changing direction of the changing ball is the changing direction including the horizontal component, and [2] the changing direction of the changing ball is the horizontal component approaching the good ball from the bad ball zone. In the case of the change direction of the belt, a description will be given of the situation where the change is made to reduce the amount of change, but it is not limited to this situation, and it may be changed to increase the amount of change. Also, for example, when [1] the changing direction of the changing ball is the changing direction including the horizontal component, and [2a] the changing direction of the changing ball, the horizontal component is the changing direction from a good ball zone to a bad ball zone, It can be changed by increasing the amount of change, or by reducing the amount of change.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, [1] the changing direction of the changing ball is the changing direction of the component including the horizontal direction, the situation of changing the amount of change has been described, but it is not limited to this situation, [1a] is changing When the changing direction of the ball is only the changing direction in the horizontal direction, the amount of change may be changed.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the situation where the ball type is not a change ball but a straight ball has been described, but it is not limited to this situation, and it may be used as a drifting speedball, a two-stitch speedball, and a shifting ball. In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the situation where the ball type whose direction of change is the horizontal direction is a skating ball has been described. However, as the ball type whose direction of change is the same as that of a skating ball, fast skating, Carter ball, and slow speed are applicable. Ball skating is also possible. In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the situation where the ball type whose direction of change is horizontal is a shot ball has been described. However, as a ball type whose direction of change is the same as that of the shot ball, a fast shot ball and a fast pinch ball are also applicable. can. In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, as the type of ball whose changing direction is the diagonal direction between the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, the situation of the curve ball has been described, but as the type of ball whose changing direction is the same as that of the curve ball, it is applicable Slow skating ball, D curve ball, skating ball, super slow curve ball, and slingshot are also available. In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, as the ball type whose changing direction is the vertical direction, the situation of the finger ball has been described. However, as the ball type with the same changing direction as the finger ball, shifting balls, pinballs, and ball types are applicable. Palm ball, vertical sliding ball, fast finger ball, palm ball, vertical Carter fast ball, vertical Carter ball, sliding palm ball, and slow speed ball are also available. In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, as the changing direction is the oblique direction between the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, and the vertical direction is symmetrical to the curve ball, the squeeze ball (spiral ball) and the high-speed squeeze ball ( High-speed spiral ball), ultra-high-speed stretcher ball (super-high-speed spiral ball), slow-speed stretcher ball (slow spiral ball), ring finger variable speed ball, slow ring finger variable speed ball can also be used.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the processing performed on the game device 10 side has been described. However, the server device 30 may perform part of the processing, and the server device 30 may perform the display by the display control unit 123. Processing other than processing is also possible. In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the situation in which the game device 10 is connected to the server device 30 via the network 20 has been described, but it is not limited to this situation. For example, the game system may be composed of only the game device 10. In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the case where the touch panel is the operation unit 105 has been described, but it is not limited to this case. For example, when the game device 10 is a portable game machine or a stationary game machine, the operation unit 105 may be a physical button, a controller, or the like. In addition, the operation unit 105 may also serve as an analog joystick, a keyboard, a pointing device, or the like. In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the flowchart of FIG. 10 has been used to describe the processing from the user selecting the type of ball thrown by the pitcher character to the end of the pitching, but it is not limited to this situation. For example, the flowchart of FIG. 10 may differ in the order of each process, and may remove a part of the process.

(1a) The state-related program of the present invention is a program used to control a game that moves objects on a predetermined reference surface in the game space, and is used to make the computer perform the following processing: For the first target position specified on the reference surface, the coordinate position of the object in the game space is changed according to the predetermined amount of change, and the movement start position of the object is reached to the second target on the reference surface. The method of position, the processing of moving the aforementioned objects; and The second target position is a process of suppressing or facilitating the change of the coordinate position of the object based on the predetermined amount of change when the direction from the first target position is toward a predetermined area set on the reference surface. Here, the first target position refers to a position set as a target when the object is moved toward the reference surface without changing the object. In the present embodiment, the first target position refers to a position set as a target when the ball type is set as a straight ball in the game space and the ball is thrown toward the determination reference surface when it reaches the determination reference surface, for example. The predetermined amount of change refers to the size of the predetermined change. In this embodiment, the predetermined amount of change refers to, for example, the size of the bend when the ball is bent, and a reference amount of change associated with the ball type. The coordinate position refers to a position in a two-dimensional space or a three-dimensional space. In this embodiment, the coordinate position refers to, for example, a position in the game space. The moving start position refers to the position where the object starts to move. In this embodiment, the movement start position refers to, for example, the position where the ball is released from the hand. The second target position refers to the position set as the target when the object is moved toward the reference surface when changing. In the present embodiment, the second target position refers to, for example, a position that is set as a target when the ball type is set as a changing ball in the game space and when the ball is thrown toward the determination reference surface and reaches the determination reference surface.
