Example

FIGS. 5A through 5C illustrate examples of a shooting game executed through a game map random generation method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Fig. 5A, in the initial generated object configuration, one block, one magic block, one protection sanctuary, one dark mine, one fence, and one warp portal are configured. A stack of gold coins and a golden crate do not appear in the initial setting.

First, the player at the bottom of the attack strategy forms a grid in the shape of a grid so as not to utilize a large area of the top ①, and removes the space as much as possible. At this time, the opponent effectively utilizes the skill and the given object so that the opponent can not escape to the wider area of the upper ②, and somehow strikes the opponent in the area of the upper ① and quickly suppresses the opponent. Also, by letting the player land on the top third ③ land, you can lead the game more advantageously by inducing it to debuff.

In addition, as a defensive strategy, the lower player uses the large area of ① below to avoid the enemy's attack as much as possible, and when the space that can be avoided from the area is almost lost, the player moves to the lower ② region through skill or quick movement, And use the shield of the lower ③ protection to use the one shield to unfold the enemy before the character of the player is hit by the enemy projectile.

Next, as shown in FIG. 5B, in the second random cell generation situation, three blocks, one magic block, one protection sanctuary, one dark mine, one fence, and one warp portal are constructed . With the difference from the first random cell condition, we increased the block by two and changed the positions of the objects randomly.

First, the player at the bottom of the attack strategy did not become much worse than the first random cell. Rather, it is more favorable for topographical condition than player by securing wide area of ① and ② at the top. At this time, the block should be concentrated in the upper ③ area to prevent the other party from moving easily at the upper ②. Also, if you take advantage of the fact that the protection sanctuary of the opponent's area is located in a relatively corner and can easily block it, and you can not use the portal in the middle, you can play the game more advantageously.

Also, as a defensive strategy, the player at the bottom has become more disadvantaged to the player as the area has changed to 3 compared to the first random cell. It is necessary to confuse the opponent's attack by going to the lower ① and lower ② area. At this time, since the opponent has a high possibility of blocking the moving route by making a block in the lower ③ region, ②, and ④, make the best use of the empty space in each area, then move to the next space and use the given space.

Next, as shown in FIG. 5C, in the third random cell generation situation, five blocks, one magic block, one sanctuary for protection, one dark mine, one fence, and one warp portal are constructed . The difference from the first random cell condition is to increase the number of blocks by 4 and randomly change the position of the objects.

First, the player at the bottom of the attack strategy has a disadvantage compared to the first terrain of the opponent. The reason is that the range of the upper ① and upper ② is narrower than that of the player, and the blocks and objects are inadvertently laid barely, making it difficult to start smoothly. The players form blocks in the upper ③ area and can win early by isolating the opponent in the upper ① area. Even if they move to the upper ② area, the width of the fortune is not wide and it is still advantageous to the player. However, if you utilize the space remaining on the lower right side of the skill, it may be a long term, so it is very important to block the maneuver.

Also, as a defensive strategy, the player at the bottom is a terrain that can equally space up and down compared to the first random cell. The number of blocks increased by four, but there is no big difference in space from the first battle map, so you can battle with relative advantage. However, it is very likely that the opponent will use a strategy to block the top and bottom by forming a block in the bottom ③ area. Since the mines and the barriers in the middle serve as obstacles, It is efficient to pass.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
