GAME PROGRAM, GAME DEVICE, AND GAME METHOD

Technical field

The present invention relates to a game program, and more particularly to a game program for causing a computer to realize a game for operating a character displayed on a monitor by operating a controller. The present invention also relates to a game apparatus capable of executing a game realized by the game program, and a video game method capable of controlling the game realized by the game program by a computer.

Background art

[0002] Various video games have been proposed in the past. These video games are designed to be executed on game devices. For example, a general game device has a monitor, a game machine main body separate from the monitor, and an input unit such as a controller separate from the game machine main body. The controller has a plurality of input buttons. In such a game apparatus, the character displayed on the monitor can be operated by operating the controller.

[0003] As one of various video games that have been proposed in the past, a battle game of a type in which a character displayed on a monitor is operated by operating an input button of a controller is known. Examples of such battle games include a baseball game and a soccer game.

[0004] For example, in a conventional baseball game, a target character is instructed by an input button with one commanding power related to a strategy command, for example, a running command. In this baseball game, when a runner command is given to the runner character, the runner character is instructed to advance by pressing the triangle button, and the return command is given to the runner character by pressing the circle button. Is done. For example, when trying to execute a hit end run using such a method, the runner character is instructed to advance by pressing the triangle button after the pitcher character starts the pitching motion (Non-patent Document 1). ).

Non-Patent Document 1: Professional Baseball Spirits 2004 Climax, Konami Corporation, PS2 version Disclosure of the invention

[0005] In a conventional baseball game, a command is given to a target character by a single input button for a strategy command, for example, a command power relating to a running rod. In such a baseball game, the number of operation commands that can be executed in the game is limited by the number of input buttons prepared in the controller. For this reason, in a conventional baseball game, although it is possible to instruct a runner character with a basic operation command, for example, advancing command, it can be used in various baseball games that are used in actual field games. There is a problem that cannot be realized.

[0006] On the other hand, when an operation command such as a hit end run is instructed to the target character, after the pitcher character starts a pitching motion, the player first presses the triangle mark button to instruct the runner character to advance. . Next, the player instructs the batter character about the batting in order to hit the ball with the pitcher character power. Such a series of various command instructions must be given within a short period of time from the pitcher character starting the pitching motion to the pitcher character power until the pitched ball reaches the hitting point. . For this reason, there is a problem in that the player cannot concentrate on the command related to the strike or the command related to the batting.

[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide an operation system capable of instructing various commands in a game.

[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide an operation system capable of concentrating on instruction instructions.

[0009] The game program according to claim 1 is a program for causing a computer capable of realizing a game for operating a character displayed on a monitor by operating a controller to realize the following functions.

(1) A signal recognition function that makes the control unit recognize each of the multiple input signals issued by the controller.

(2) A command recognition function that allows the control unit to recognize motion commands corresponding to multiple input signals recognized by the control unit.

(3) A command hold function that causes the control unit to hold execution of an operation command recognized by the control unit. (4) An event start command reception function that allows the control unit to receive an event start command for starting an event related to the character for the control unit.

(5) Event start function that starts an event based on an event start command received by the control unit.

(6) An instruction execution function that causes the control unit to execute an operation command held by the control unit during an event.

(7) A character movement function that moves a character during the execution of an event based on the movement command executed by the control unit.

[0010] In this game program, the signal recognition function causes the control unit to recognize each of the plurality of input signals for which controller power has also been issued. Then, the command recognition function causes the control unit to recognize operation commands corresponding to a plurality of input signals recognized by the control unit. Next, the command hold function causes the control unit to hold execution of the operation command recognized by the control unit. Subsequently, the event start command reception function causes the control unit to receive an event start command for starting an event related to the character for the control unit. Subsequently, the event start function starts an event based on the event start command received by the control unit. Subsequently, the command execution function causes the control unit to execute the operation command held by the control unit during the execution of the event. Finally, the character movement function moves the character during the execution of the event based on the movement command executed by the control unit.

[0011] In this game program, when the input button of the controller is operated and the input from the input button is completed, an operation command corresponding to a plurality of input signals of the input button force is set. Then, execution of the operation command by the control unit is suspended, that is, reserved. Subsequently, when an event is started by the control unit, the reserved operation command is executed by the control unit. Then, based on the operation command executed by the control unit, the character is operated during the execution of the event.

[0012] In such a game program, operation commands corresponding to a plurality of input signals from the input buttons are set. Therefore, various operation commands can be set by combining inputs of a plurality of input signals. Can be instructed. In addition, the execution of the set operation instruction is reserved before the event is started, and after the event is started. In this case, the reserved operation instruction is executed. Thus, for example, if a hit end run command is reserved before the pitcher character starts the pitching motion, the hit end run command can be executed after the pitcher character starts the pitching motion. In other words, until the pitcher character power reaches the pitched ball hitting point, the player can concentrate only on the instruction of the command related to the batting character.

In this game program, when a plurality of input signals are recognized by the control unit, the event start restriction function causes the control unit to accept an event start command for starting an event related to the character to the control unit. Let it be regulated. In addition, after a plurality of input signals are recognized by the control unit, the event start restriction release function causes the control unit to release the restriction to accept the event start command to the control unit. Then, the event start command reception function causes the control unit to accept the event start command after the control unit cancels the event start command reception restriction on the control unit. In this case, the event start command is not accepted by the control unit until the control unit cancels the restriction on accepting the event start command to the control unit. It is possible to reliably recognize the signal from the control unit.

The control unit determines whether or not the first input signal among the force signals is a predetermined input signal. When the control unit determines that the first input signal is a predetermined input signal, the event start restriction function controls reception of an event start command for starting the event related to the character to the control unit. Let the part regulate. In this case, when the input button that is first operated when the input button is operated is a predetermined input button, that is, the input button (predetermined input button) that is the starting point for reserving an operation command is pressed. In such a case, since the event start command is not accepted by the control unit, a plurality of input signals having an input button force can be surely recognized by the control unit.

[0017] A game program according to claim 4 is a program for causing a computer to realize the following functions in any one of claims 1 to 3.

[Outline of reservation command input system in baseball game]

Here, the specific contents of the reservation command input system in a baseball game are explained.

[0073] (Hit End Run Instruction)

As an example to explain the reservation command input system concretely, the following is a case where a hit end run command is instructed when the runner power is ^ 力 and 3 塁.

[0074] As shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 6, when the pitcher character and the batter character are displayed on the television monitor 20, first, when the L2 button 17L2 is pressed, the operation command 80 is input. Start is recognized by CPU7. After the L2 button 17L2 is pressed in this way, the CPU 7 receives an event start command for starting an event related to the batter character and the runner character, for example, a motion start command for starting a pitching motion to the pitcher character. There are no restrictions. That is, the commanding power for starting the pitching motion of the pitcher character is not accepted by the CPU 7.

[0075] Subsequently, when the triangular button 17a and the round button 17b are pressed, the CPU 7 recognizes the operation command 80 corresponding to the input button operated in the reservation command input, that is, the hit end run command. Then, the CPU 7 recognizes the instruction valid period 82 for causing the CPU 7 to execute the hit end run instruction recognized by the CPU 7 for one event. Here, the command valid period 82 is associated with the operation command 80 in advance in the game program.

Subsequently, the CPU 7 is restricted by the execution power CPU 7 of the hit end run instruction recognized by the CPU 7. That is, the execution power of the hit end run instruction recognized by the CPU 7 is held in the CPU 7, that is, reserved. Then, the restriction on the motion start command for starting the pitching motion of the pitcher character is released. An input button for issuing a motion start command after instructing the pitcher character a pitching command, for example, When the X button is pressed, the motion start command is accepted by CPU7. Then, based on the motion start command, the CPU 7 causes the pitcher character to start a pitching motion. When the pitcher character starts a pitching motion, the CPU 7 executes a hit end run command reserved for the CPU 7. That is, when the pitcher character starts a pitching motion, the start command is instructed by the CPU 7 to the 1st runner character, and the non-start command is instructed by the CPU 7 to the 3rd runner character.

[0077] Finally, when the hit end run instruction is executed by the CPU 7, it is displayed on the television monitor 20 with the moving power that runs toward the first runner character. At this time, the 3rd runner character is displayed on the television monitor 20 while keeping the lead at 3rd without starting.

[0078] When the L2 button 17L2, the triangle mark button 17a, and the circle mark button 17b are pressed, the letters "L2", the triangle symbol, and the circle symbol are sequentially displayed at the bottom of the television monitor 20. Is done. When all of the L2 button 17L2, the triangle button 17a, and the circle button 17b have been pressed, the word “hit end run” is displayed at the bottom of the television monitor 20! /.

It should be noted that the input operation for causing the pitcher character to throw and the input operation for causing the batter character to hit the pitched ball are performed in the same manner as in the past.

[0080] In this way, when the hit end run command is recognized by the CPU 7, if the event for each ball of the pitcher character and the batter character is defined as one confrontation event, a send bunt command is issued for one confrontation event. Is reserved and executed.

[0081] (Feed bunt command)

As an example to explain the reservation command input system concretely, the following explanation will be given when the feed bunt command is instructed when the runner power is at 塁 and 3 塁.

[0082] As shown in FIGS. 3, 5, and 6, when the pitcher character and the batter character are displayed on the television monitor 20, first, when the L2 button 17L2 is pressed, the operation command 80 is input. Start is recognized by CPU7. After the L2 button 17L2 is pressed in this way, events related to the batter character and runner character are started. For example, a motion start command for causing the pitcher character to start a pitching motion is prohibited from being accepted by the CPU 7. That is, the commanding power for starting the pitching motion of the pitcher character is not accepted by the CPU 7.

[0083] Subsequently, when the R1 button 17R1 is pressed, the CPU 7 recognizes the operation command 80 corresponding to the input button operated in the reservation command input, that is, the feed bunt command. Then, the CPU 7 recognizes the instruction valid period 82 for causing the CPU 7 to execute the send bunt instruction recognized by the CPU 7 for a plurality of events. Here, the command valid period 82 is associated with the motion command 80 in advance in the game program! /.

Subsequently, the CPU 7 restricts the execution of the feed bunt command recognized by the CPU 7. In other words, execution of the feed bunt instruction recognized by the CPU 7 is held in the CPU 7, that is, reserved. Then, the restriction on the motion start command for starting the pitching motion of the pitcher character is released. Then, after instructing the pitcher character to issue a pitching command, the CPU 7 accepts the motion start command when an input button for issuing a motion start command, such as the X button, is pressed. Then, based on the motion start command, the CPU 7 causes the pitcher character to start a pitching motion. When the pitcher character starts a pitching motion, the CPU 7 executes a feed bunt instruction reserved for the CPU 7. That is, when the pitcher character starts the pitching motion, the bunt command is instructed by the CPU7 to the batter character, the start command is instructed by the CPU7 to the 1st runner, and the 3rd runner character is instructed. The non-start command is instructed by CPU7.

Subsequently, when the feed bunt command is executed by the CPU 7, the batter character in the bunt posture is displayed on the television monitor 20. At this time, if the batter character is bunted by adjusting the height of the batter character's bat and the direction of bunting the ball with the left stick, the 1st runner character will run toward the 2nd base. Displayed on John Monitor 20. At this time, the 3rd runner character is displayed on the television monitor 20 while keeping the lead at 3rd without starting.

[0086] Here, the height of the batter character's bat and the direction in which the ball is bunted are set to the left stick. If you hit the batter character with a bunch and it fouls or the ball hits the bat, the 1st and 3rd runner characters will return to 1st. Is displayed on the television monitor 20.

Next, the send bunt instruction executed by the CPU 7 is in a state reserved again by the instruction execution power CPU 7. Then, after instructing the pitcher character to issue a pitching command, the CPU 7 accepts the motion start command when the input button for issuing a motion start command, such as the X button, is pressed again. Then, based on the motion start command, the CPU 7 causes the pitcher character to start a pitching motion. When the pitcher character starts the pitching motion, the CPU 7 executes the feed bunt command reserved for the CPU 7 again. That is, when the pitcher character starts the second pitching motion, the bunt command is instructed by the CPU7 to the batter character, the start command is instructed by the CPU7 to the 1st runner character, and the 3rd runner character is instructed. On the other hand, a non-start command is instructed by CPU7.

[0089] Here, adjust the batter character's bat height and the direction of bunting the ball with the left stick, and when the batter character is bunted, it will be fouled or the ball hits the bat. In such a case, the moving image of the runner character is displayed on the television monitor 20 as described above.

[0090] As described above, when the feed bunt command is recognized by the CPU 7, during the command valid period 82, that is, from when the feed bunt command is instructed to when one batter of the batter character ends, Becomes effective. That is, if an event for each ball of the pitcher character and the batter character is defined as one confrontation event, a sending bunt command is executed for a plurality of confrontation events in a reserved state. [0091] When the L2 button 17L2 and the Rl button 17R1 are pressed, the letters "L2" and the letter power "R1" are sequentially displayed at the bottom of the television monitor 20. When all of the L 2 button 17L2 and R1 button 17R1 have been pressed, the “feed bunt” character will be displayed at the bottom of the television monitor 20! /.

Note that the input operation for causing the pitcher character to throw and the input operation for causing the batter character to hit the pitched character are performed in the same manner as in the past.

[0093] In this way, when the feed bunt command is recognized by the CPU 7, if the event for each ball of the pitcher character and the batter character is defined as one confrontation event, for a plurality of confrontation events, The sending bunt command is reserved and executed! /

[Processing flow when executing a reservation command input system in a baseball game]

The reservation command input system in the baseball game of this embodiment will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG.

[0104] When the pitcher character and the batter character are displayed on the television monitor 20 and the input button is pressed, the input signal issued by the input button force is recognized by the CPU 7 (Sl). Then, the CPU 7 determines whether or not the input signal issued by the input button recognized by the CPU 7 is a predetermined input signal, for example, an input signal from the L2 button 17L2 (S2). The first input signal force button that also issued the input button force When the CPU 7 determines that the input signal is from the 17L2 (Yes in S2), an event start command to start the event associated with the character, such as a pitcher character The CPU 7 regulates the acceptance of the input signal from the input button that issues a motion start command to start the pitching motion (S3). Then, a symbol 101 corresponding to the input signal, for example, a character 101 “L2” is displayed on the television monitor 20 (S4). If the CPU 7 determines that the first input signal issued from the input button is not the input signal from the L2 button 17L2 (No in S2), Step 1 (S1) is executed again.

Subsequently, when at least one input button, for example, R1 button 17R1 is pressed, this input button force is also recognized by the issued input signal force CPU7 (S5). Then, a symbol 101 corresponding to the input signal, for example, a character 101 “R1” is displayed on the television monitor 20. Do Then, the CPU 7 recognizes an operation command 80, for example, a feed band command, corresponding to the plurality of input signals 81, for example, the plurality of input signals 81 from the L2 button 17L2 and the Rl button 17R1 (S6). Then, the contents of the operation command 80 corresponding to the plurality of input signals 81, for example, the characters “feed bunt” are displayed on the television monitor 20 (S7). Then, the CPU 7 sets the command effective period 82 for causing the CPU 7 to execute the operation command 80 recognized by the CPU 7 for a plurality of events and recognizes it (S8). Here, the command valid period 82 is associated with the operation command 80 in advance in the game program. For example, an instruction valid period 82 for multiple events is associated with a sending bunt instruction. The command valid period 82 can be changed to an arbitrary period, and the desired command valid period 82 may be recognized and set by the CPU 7 before the start of a plurality of events before the game starts.

Subsequently, the operation instruction 80 recognized by the CPU 7, for example, the execution power of the send bunt instruction, is reserved in the CPU 7 (S 9). Then, the CPU 7 cancels the restriction on accepting an input signal having an input button force for issuing an event start command, for example, a motion start command (S10). When an input button for issuing an event start command such as a motion start command is pressed, the input signal from the input button is recognized by the CPU 7 (S11), and an event start command such as a motion start command is received by the CPU 7 (S12 ). Then, based on the event start command received by the CPU 7, an event such as a pitching motion is started (S13). Then, the operation instruction 80 held in the CPU 7, for example, the send bunt instruction is executed by the CPU 7 (S14). Then, for example, a batter character and a runner character are operated by the CPU 7 on the basis of an operation command 80 executed by the CPU 7, for example, a send bunt command (S15).

[0107] Finally, the CPU 7 determines whether or not the instruction valid period 82 corresponding to the operation instruction 80 has ended (S16). _{0 If} the instruction valid period 82 corresponding to the operation instruction 80 has not expired, If determined by the CPU 7 (No in S16), Step 11 (S11) is executed again. On the other hand, if CPU 7 determines that the instruction valid period 82 corresponding to operation instruction 80 has ended (Yes in S16), CPU 7 recognizes that execution of operation instruction 80 executed on CPU 7 has ended. (S17).

[Other Embodiments] (a) In the above embodiment, the power game machine 1 has shown an example in which the game machine 1 has various means 50 to 62. The game machine 1 further includes situation determination means for causing the control unit to determine the situation of the character related to the event. You may make it have. In this case, in the command execution means 60, depending on the character status determined by the control unit, it is performed by the control unit during the execution of the execution command of the motion command held by the control unit.

[0109] For example, when a hit end run instruction or a feed bunt instruction is instructed when the runner is on the 1st and 3rd bases, when the motion start instruction is received by the CPU 7, the CPU 7 determines that the pitcher character is based on the motion start instruction. To start throwing motion. When the pitcher character starts a pitching motion, the CPU 7 determines the runner's situation, for example, the runner is on the first and third base. Depending on the status of the runner, the CPU 7 executes a hit end run instruction or a send bunt instruction reserved for the CPU 7. In other words, when the pitcher character starts a pitching motion, the start command is instructed by the CPU 7 for the 1st runner and the non-start command is instructed by the CPU 7 for the 3rd runner character. Then, a video showing the state where the 1st runner runs from 1st to 2nd is displayed on the television monitor 20. In this way, when the game machine 1 has a situation determination means, when an operation instruction such as a hit end run instruction and a send bunt instruction, that is, a logical instruction is reserved, the CPU 7 determines the situation of the runner and Each runner can be operated according to the situation.

[0110] As described above, when the game machine 1 further includes the situation determination means 63 in addition to the various means 50 to 62, it is determined between step 13 (S13) and step 14 (S14) in the flowchart of FIG. In this case, processing corresponding to the situation determination means is performed. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, when a motion start command is received by the CPU 7 (S12), an event such as a pitching motion is started based on the event start command received by the CPU 7 (S13). When the pitcher character starts the pitching motion, the CPU 7 determines the runner situation, that is, the runner is in the first and third base (S14A). Then, depending on the status of the runner, the operation command 80 held in the CPU 7 is executed by the CPU 7 such as a hit end run command or a send bunt command force CPU 7 (S14B). And the motion executed by CPU7 Based on the composition command 80, for example, the hit end run command or the feed bunt command, the batter character and the runner character such as the character are moved by the CPU 7 (S15). Therefore, in FIG. 8, step 1 (S1) force and step 12 (S12) and step 16 (S16) to step 17 (SI 7) are omitted.

(B) In the above embodiment, the power game device showing an example in the case of using a home video game device as an example of a computer to which a game program can be applied is not limited to the above embodiment, The present invention can be similarly applied to a game device with a separate monitor, a game device with an integrated monitor, a personal computer or workstation that functions as a game device by executing a game program. .

(C) The present invention also includes a program for executing the game as described above, a program method for executing the game as described above, and a computer-readable recording medium on which the program is recorded. As the recording medium, for example, a computer-readable flexible disk, a semiconductor memory, a CD-ROM, a DVD, an MO, a ROM cassette, and the like can be cited in addition to the cartridge.

[0113] In the present invention, since operation commands corresponding to a plurality of input signals from the input button are set, various operation commands can be instructed by a combination input of a plurality of input signals. . In addition, the execution of the set operation instruction is reserved before the event starts, and the reserved operation instruction is executed after the event starts. ing. Thus, for example, if a hit end run command is reserved before the pitcher character starts the pitching motion, the hit end run command can be executed after the pitcher character starts the pitching motion. In other words, until the pitcher character power reaches the pitched ball strength S hitting point, the player can concentrate only on the instruction of the batter character's batting command.

[0114] In addition, since the event start command is not accepted by the control unit until the control unit cancels the event start command acceptance restriction for the control unit, a plurality of input signals having an input button force can be obtained. Can be reliably recognized by the control unit. [0115] In addition, when the input button that is first operated when the input button is operated is a predetermined input button, that is, an input button (predetermined input button) that is a starting point when an operation command is reserved When pressed, the event start command is not accepted by the control unit, so that the control unit can reliably recognize a plurality of input signals of the input button force.

[0116] Also, when the input button that is first operated when the input button is operated is a predetermined input button, that is, the input button (predetermined input button) that is the starting point when reserving an operation command is When pressed, operation commands corresponding to multiple input signals from the input button are recognized by the control unit, making it easier to perceive the input button as the starting point when reserving an operation command, and various operation commands It becomes easy to indicate the input button force.

[0117] Once an operation command is reserved, it is possible to continuously execute the reserved operation command for each of a plurality of events.

[0118] Further, when a plurality of input buttons of the controller are operated, the symbols of the plurality of input buttons are displayed on the monitor, or the contents of the operation command corresponding to the operated input button are displayed on the monitor. be able to. Thereby, erroneous operation of the input buttons when the player operates a plurality of input buttons can be reduced. Further, the player can confirm whether or not a desired operation command has been input.
