　各プレーヤには、初期状態において、基本セットとして、複数の基本パーツ（最もグレードの低いパーツ）から構成される移動体ＭＶが付与される。プレーヤは、端末１０の表示部１９０に表示される設定画面において、ゲーム内通貨を消費して移動体ＭＶのいずれかの部位のグレードアップパーツ（基本パーツよりも性能の高いパーツ）を購入し、購入したパーツを自身の移動体ＭＶに設定（装着）することができる。また、プレーヤは、設定画面において、ゲーム内通貨を消費して購入したアイテムを使用（消費）して、移動体ＭＶのいずれかの部位のパーツを強化（軽量化、空気抵抗の向上、高速化、安定化など、性能の向上）したり改造（肉抜き、塗装、ドレスアップなど）したりすることができる。設定画面におけるプレーヤによる設定内容はサーバ２０に送信され、当該設定内容に基づいて、パーツ特定情報３２０が更新される。図５に示す例では、プレーヤＩＤ「００１」のプレーヤの移動体ＭＶを構成するパーツのうちシャーシのパーツ「ａ１」とボディＢＤのパーツ「ｂ１」は基本パーツであり、タイヤＴＲのパーツ「ｃ２」とホイールＷＨのパーツ「ｄ２」はグレードアップパーツ（或いは、強化／改造パーツ）である。また、プレーヤＩＤ「００２」のプレーヤの移動体ＭＶを構成するパーツのうちタイヤＴＲのパーツ「ｃ１」とホイールＷＨのパーツ「ｄ１」は基本パーツであり、シャーシのパーツ「ａ２」とボディＢＤのパーツ「ｂ３」はグレードアップパーツ（或いは、強化／改造パーツ）である。また、プレーヤは、設定画面において、パーツや素材を組み合わせて新たなパーツ（カスタムパーツ）を作成することもできる。 In the initial state, each player is given a mobile MV composed of a plurality of basic parts (lowest grade parts) as a basic set. On the setting screen displayed on the display unit 190 of the terminal 10, the player consumes the in-game currency to purchase upgrade parts (parts having higher performance than the basic parts) of any part of the mobile MV. You can set (attach) the purchased parts to your own mobile MV. In addition, the player uses (consumes) the item purchased by consuming the in-game currency on the setting screen to strengthen the parts of any part of the mobile MV (lightening, improving air resistance, speeding up). , Stabilization, performance improvement) or modification (lightening, painting, dressing up, etc.). The setting content by the player on the setting screen is transmitted to the server 20, and the part identification information 320 is updated based on the setting content. In the example shown in FIG. 5, among the parts constituting the moving body MV of the player with the player ID "001", the chassis part "a1" and the body BD part "b1" are basic parts, and the tire TR part "c2". The wheel WH part "d2" is an upgrade part (or a strengthened / modified part). Also, among the parts that make up the moving body MV of the player with player ID "002", the tire TR part "c1" and the wheel WH part "d1" are the basic parts, and the chassis part "a2" and the body BD The part "b3" is an upgrade part (or a strengthened / modified part). The player can also create new parts (custom parts) by combining parts and materials on the setting screen.
　移動体ＭＶの速度３３０は、当該移動体ＭＶを構成する複数のパーツ（パーツ特定情報３２０）に応じて設定される。例えば、移動体ＭＶのモーターや電池のパーツの性能（グレード等）が高いほど、当該移動体ＭＶの最高速度は大きくなり加速性も高くなる。また、移動体ＭＶのタイヤＴＲの径が大きいほど、当該移動体ＭＶの最高速度は大きくなり加速性は低くなる。なお、移動体ＭＶの速度３３０は、当該移動体ＭＶの安定性３４０に応じても設定され、例えば、移動体ＭＶの重さが大きいほど、当該移動体ＭＶの加速性は低くなる。 The speed 330 of the moving body MV is set according to a plurality of parts (part specific information 320) constituting the moving body MV. For example, the higher the performance (grade, etc.) of the motor and battery parts of the mobile MV, the higher the maximum speed of the mobile MV and the higher the acceleration. Further, the larger the diameter of the tire TR of the moving body MV, the higher the maximum speed of the moving body MV and the lower the acceleration. The speed 330 of the moving body MV is also set according to the stability 340 of the moving body MV. For example, the heavier the weight of the moving body MV, the lower the acceleration of the moving body MV.
　同様に、移動体ＭＶの安定性３４０は、当該移動体ＭＶを構成する複数のパーツ（パーツ特定情報３２０）に応じて設定される。例えば、移動体ＭＶのシャーシやボディＢＤのパーツの性能が高いほど、当該移動体の安定性は高くなる。また、移動体ＭＶに備わるローラーＲＬの数が多いほど、また、ローラーＲＬの径が大きいほど、当該移動体ＭＶの安定性は高くなる。また、移動体ＭＶの複数の部位のパーツが特定の組み合わせである場合に、当該移動体ＭＶの安定性を変化させるようにしてもよい。また、同じパーツであっても、装着される部位に応じて移動体ＭＶの安定性が変化するようにしてもよい。また、移動体ＭＶの重さは、当該移動体ＭＶを構成する全パーツの重さを合計して算出される。また、移動体ＭＶの重心としては、前後の重心及び上下の重心がある。前後の重心については、シャーシやボディＢＤのパーツの種類や、移動体ＭＶの前端部と後端部に取り付けられたパーツ（ステーＳＴ、ローラーＲＬ、ウィングＷＮ、ウェイト等）に応じて、重心が「前」であるか「中央」であるか「後ろ」であるかが決定される。また、上下の重心については、シャーシやボディＢＤのパーツの種類に応じて、重心の基準位置（例えば、タイヤＴＲの最大径の半分の位置の地上高）からの上方向の距離が決定される。図５に示す例は、プレーヤＩＤ「００１」の移動体ＭＶの前後の重心が「中央」であり、上下の重心が「０」（基準位置）であること、プレーヤＩＤ「００２」の移動体ＭＶの前後の重心が「前」であり、上下の重心が基準位置から「－２」だけ低いことを示している。 Similarly, the stability 340 of the moving body MV is set according to a plurality of parts (part specific information 320) constituting the moving body MV. For example, the higher the performance of the chassis of the moving body MV and the parts of the body BD, the higher the stability of the moving body. Further, the larger the number of roller RLs provided in the moving body MV and the larger the diameter of the roller RL, the higher the stability of the moving body MV. Further, when the parts of the plurality of parts of the moving body MV are a specific combination, the stability of the moving body MV may be changed. Further, even if the parts are the same, the stability of the moving body MV may be changed according to the portion to be mounted. Further, the weight of the moving body MV is calculated by summing up the weights of all the parts constituting the moving body MV. The center of gravity of the moving body MV includes the front and rear center of gravity and the upper and lower center of gravity. Regarding the center of gravity of the front and rear, the center of gravity depends on the type of parts of the chassis and body BD and the parts (stay ST, roller RL, wing WN, weight, etc.) attached to the front and rear ends of the moving body MV. It is determined whether it is "front", "center", or "back". As for the upper and lower centers of gravity, the upward distance from the reference position of the center of gravity (for example, the ground clearance at the position of half the maximum diameter of the tire TR) is determined according to the types of parts of the chassis and body BD. .. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the center of gravity before and after the moving body MV with the player ID "001" is "center", the center of gravity above and below is "0" (reference position), and the moving body with the player ID "002". The center of gravity before and after the MV is "front", indicating that the center of gravity above and below is "-2" lower than the reference position.
　各プレーヤは、仮想空間内のコースを移動体ＭＶが走行するレースにエントリー（参加）することができる。コースは、レースごとに異なるものが用意されている。図６は、仮想空間内に配置されるコースの一例を示す図である。図６に示すコースＣＳは、３つのレーン（走路）を有し３台の移動体ＭＶが走行可能な右回りの周回コースである。コースＣＳは、複数のコース区間ＣＥの組み合わせで構成される。コース区間ＣＥは複数の種類があり、種類ごとに形状が異なっている。例えば、コース区間ＣＥＳ（ストレート）は、走路が直線状に形成されたコース区間ＣＥであり、コース区間ＣＥＣ（コーナー）は、走路が右回り又は左回りの曲線状に形成されたコース区間ＣＥであり、コース区間ＣＥＵ（上り坂）は、走路が進行方向に上り坂に形成されたコース区間ＣＥであり、コース区間ＣＥＤ（下り坂）は、走路が進行方向に下り坂に形成されたコース区間ＣＥであり、コース区間ＣＥＪ（ジャンプ台）は、走路が中間地点まで進行方向に上り坂に形成され中間地点から進行方向に下り坂に形成されたコース区間ＣＥであり、コース区間ＣＥＬ（レーンチェンジ）は、イン（或いは、アウト）のレーンを走行する移動体ＭＶの走路がアウト（或いは、イン）のレーンに変更されるコース区間ＣＥである。その他、移動体ＭＶが走行しながら宙返りする「ループチェンジャー」や、走路が左右方向に傾斜している「バンク」といったコース区間ＣＥが用意されている。また、「コーナー」のコース区間ＣＥＣには、右回り左回りの別がある他、曲率半径（カーブ半径）の異なる複数種類があってもよい。なお、コースＣＳを構成する複数のコース区間ＣＥのいずれかには、レースのスタート地点Ｓが設定されている。 Each player can enter (participate in) a race in which the mobile MV runs on the course in the virtual space. Different courses are prepared for each race. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a course arranged in the virtual space. The course CS shown in FIG. 6 is a clockwise circuit course having three lanes (running paths) and capable of traveling three mobile MVs. The course CS is composed of a combination of a plurality of course sections CE. There are multiple types of course section CE, and each type has a different shape. For example, the course section CE S (straight) is a course section CE in which the runway is formed in a straight line, and the course section CE C (corner) is a course section in which the runway is formed in a clockwise or counterclockwise curve. It is a CE, and the course section CE U (uphill) is a course section CE in which the track is formed uphill in the direction of travel, and the course section CE D (downhill) is a course section formed in the downhill in the direction of travel. The course section CE is a course section CE, and the course section CE J (jump platform) is a course section CE in which the runway is formed uphill in the direction of travel to the intermediate point and downhill in the direction of travel from the intermediate point. The section CE L (lane change) is a course section CE in which the track of the moving body MV traveling in the in (or out) lane is changed to the out (or in) lane. In addition, there are course section CEs such as a "loop changer" in which the moving body MV somersaults while traveling, and a "bank" in which the track is inclined in the left-right direction. Further, the course section CE C of the "corner" may be classified into clockwise and counterclockwise, and may have a plurality of types having different curvature radii (curve radii). A race start point S is set in any of the plurality of course section CEs constituting the course CS.
　サーバ２０（コース区間情報管理部２１２）は、コースＣＳを構成する複数のコース区間ＣＥそれぞれの形状に関する情報を、コース区間情報として管理する。図７は、コース区間情報の一例を示す図である。コース区間情報４００は、各コースＣＳのコースＩＤ４１０に対応付けて、コースＣＳを構成する１番目のコース区間ＣＥ（スタート地点Ｓが設定されたコース区間ＣＥ）からＮ番目（Ｎは、コースＣＳを構成するコース区間ＣＥの総数）のコース区間ＣＥのそれぞれの形状（種類）を特定するコース区間特定情報４２０を格納する。図７に示す例は、コースＩＤ「００１」のコースＣＳ（図６に示すコースＣＳ）の１番目のコース区間ＣＥの形状が「ストレート」であり、２番目と３番目のコース区間ＣＥの形状が「右回りコーナー」であり、４番目のコース区間ＣＥの形状が「レーンチェンジ」であり、５番目のコース区間ＣＥの形状が「左回りコーナー」であり、そして、２２番目のコース区間ＣＥの形状が「上り坂」であり、２３番目のコース区間ＣＥの形状が「ストレート」であり、２４番目（Ｎ番目）のコース区間ＣＥの形状が「下り坂」であることを示している。なお、コースＣＳを構成する複数のコース区間ＣＥのそれぞれには、硬さ、破損具合、凸凹具合等のコンディション情報（属性）が設定されている。 The server 20 (course section information management unit 212) manages information on the shape of each of the plurality of course section CEs constituting the course CS as course section information. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of course section information. The course section information 400 corresponds to the course ID 410 of each course CS, and is the Nth (N is the course CS) from the first course section CE (the course section CE in which the start point S is set) constituting the course CS. The course section identification information 420 that specifies each shape (type) of the course section CEs of the constituent course section CEs) is stored. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the shape of the first course section CE of the course CS (course CS shown in FIG. 6) of the course ID “001” is “straight”, and the shapes of the second and third course sections CE. Is the "clockwise corner", the shape of the 4th course section CE is "lane change", the shape of the 5th course section CE is "counterclockwise corner", and the shape of the 22nd course section CE Indicates that the shape of is "uphill", the shape of the 23rd course section CE is "straight", and the shape of the 24th (Nth) course section CE is "downhill". Condition information (attributes) such as hardness, degree of damage, and degree of unevenness are set in each of the plurality of course sections CE constituting the course CS.
　レースにエントリーしたプレーヤが端末１０においてレースの開始を指示する操作を行うと、サーバ２０（制御部２１４）は、移動体情報３００とコース区間情報４００とに基づいて、エントリーした各プレーヤの移動体ＭＶがコースＣＳを走行する（自動的にコースＣＳに沿って移動する）当該レースをシミュレーションする。なお、レースに参加する移動体ＭＶには、プレーヤに関連付けられていない（ＣＰＵ制御の）移動体ＭＶが含まれていてもよい。 When the player who entered the race performs an operation of instructing the start of the race on the terminal 10, the server 20 (control unit 214) uses the moving body information 300 and the course section information 400 of the moving body of each player who entered the race. The race in which the MV runs on the course CS (automatically moves along the course CS) is simulated. The mobile MV participating in the race may include a (CPU-controlled) mobile MV that is not associated with the player.
　レースのシミュレーションでは、移動体ＭＶの速度３３０（最高速度、加速性）と移動体ＭＶが通過するコース区間ＣＥの形状や属性（コース区間特定情報４２０）とに基づいて、移動体ＭＶが各コース区間ＣＥを通過する（隣接する各コース区間ＣＥ間の境界を通過する）ときの速度ｖを求める。例えば、図８に示す例において、移動体ＭＶが、「ストレート」のコース区間ＣＥ１、「左回りコーナー」のコース区間ＣＥ２、「右回りコーナー」のコース区間ＣＥ３、「ストレート」のコース区間ＣＥ４、ＣＥ５の順に通過し、コース区間ＣＥ１に速度ｖ＝３０で侵入するとする。コース区間ＣＥ１は「ストレート」であるから、移動体ＭＶは減速することなく、速度ｖ＝３０で次のコース区間ＣＥ２との境界を通過する（コース区間ＣＥ２に侵入する）。次のコース区間ＣＥ２は「コーナー」であるから、移動体ＭＶは減速して、速度ｖ＝２７で次のコース区間ＣＥ３との境界を通過する。このときの減速量（「コーナー」のコース区間ＣＥを通過するときの減速量）は、移動体ＭＶの加速性に応じて求められ、移動体ＭＶの加速性が高いほど小さくなる。次のコース区間ＣＥ３も「コーナー」であるから、移動体ＭＶは更に減速して、速度ｖ＝２５で次のコース区間ＣＥ４との境界を通過する。次のコース区間ＣＥ４は「ストレート」であるから、移動体ＭＶは減速することなく、速度ｖ＝２５で次のコース区間ＣＥ５との境界を通過する。次のコース区間ＣＥ５は「ストレート」であり、その前のコース区間ＣＥ４も「ストレート」であるから、移動体ＭＶは加速して、速度ｖ＝２７で次のコース区間ＣＥ６との境界を通過する。このときの加速量（「ストレート」のコース区間ＣＥを連続して通過するときの加速量）は、移動体ＭＶの加速性に応じて求められ、移動体ＭＶの加速性が高いほど大きくなる。但し、移動体ＭＶの速度は、当該移動体ＭＶの最高速度を超えない範囲で制御される。また、移動体ＭＶが「上り坂」のコース区間ＣＥを通過する場合には減速し、移動体ＭＶが「下り坂」のコース区間ＣＥを通過する場合には加速する。また、移動体ＭＶが通過するコース区間ＣＥのコンディションが悪い（破損度合いや凸凹度合いが大きい）ほど、移動体ＭＶの減速量は大きくなり加速量は小さくなる。また、レース開始直後の各移動体ＭＶの初速は、各移動体ＭＶの加速性に基づき決定してもよいし、各プレーヤによるレースの開始を指示する操作の操作タイミングに基づきランダムに決定してもよい。 In the race simulation, the mobile MV is on each course based on the speed 330 (maximum speed, acceleration) of the mobile MV and the shape and attributes of the course section CE through which the mobile MV passes (course section specific information 420). The velocity v when passing through the section CE (passing the boundary between the adjacent course section CEs) is obtained. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 8, the moving body MV is a “straight” course section CE 1 , a “counterclockwise corner” course section CE 2 , a “clockwise corner” course section CE 3 , and a “straight” course. It is assumed that the vehicle passes through the sections CE 4 and CE 5 in this order and enters the course section CE 1 at a speed v = 30. Since the course section CE 1 is "straight", the moving body MV passes through the boundary with the next course section CE 2 at a speed v = 30 (enters the course section CE 2) without decelerating. Since the next course section CE 2 is a "corner", the moving body MV decelerates and passes the boundary with the next course section CE 3 at a speed v = 27. The deceleration amount at this time (the deceleration amount when passing through the course section CE of the "corner") is obtained according to the acceleration of the moving body MV, and becomes smaller as the acceleration of the moving body MV is higher. Since the next course section CE 3 is also a "corner", the moving body MV further decelerates and passes the boundary with the next course section CE 4 at a speed v = 25. Since the next course section CE 4 is "straight", the moving body MV passes through the boundary with the next course section CE 5 at a speed v = 25 without decelerating. Since the next course section CE 5 is "straight" and the previous course section CE 4 is also "straight", the moving body MV accelerates and the boundary with the next course section CE 6 at a speed v = 27. Pass through. The amount of acceleration at this time (the amount of acceleration when continuously passing through the "straight" course section CE) is obtained according to the acceleration of the moving body MV, and increases as the acceleration of the moving body MV increases. However, the speed of the moving body MV is controlled within a range not exceeding the maximum speed of the moving body MV. Further, when the moving body MV passes through the "uphill" course section CE, the speed is reduced, and when the moving body MV passes through the "downhill" course section CE, the speed is accelerated. Further, the worse the condition of the course section CE through which the moving body MV passes (the degree of damage and the degree of unevenness is large), the larger the deceleration amount of the moving body MV and the smaller the acceleration amount. Further, the initial velocity of each moving body MV immediately after the start of the race may be determined based on the acceleration of each moving body MV, or is randomly determined based on the operation timing of the operation instructing the start of the race by each player. May be good.
　このように、各移動体ＭＶがコースＣＳを構成する各コース区間ＣＥ間の境界を通過する（各コース区間ＣＥに侵入する）ときの速度ｖを求め、求めた速度ｖに基づいて、各移動体ＭＶが各境界（各計算ポイント）を通過するときの通過タイム（レース開始からの経過時間）を算出し、シミュレーション結果とする。また、各移動体ＭＶがコースＣＳを所定回数だけ周回した（ゴールした）ときのゴールタイムと、各移動体ＭＶのゴール着順（順位）も合わせて求め、シミュレーション結果とする。なお、コースアウトした移動体ＭＶは、レースをリタイアしたものとする。 In this way, the speed v when each moving body MV passes through the boundary between the course section CEs constituting the course CS (enters each course section CE) is obtained, and each movement is based on the obtained speed v. The passing time (elapsed time from the start of the race) when the body MV crosses each boundary (each calculation point) is calculated and used as a simulation result. In addition, the goal time when each mobile MV laps (goals) the course CS a predetermined number of times and the goal arrival order (rank) of each mobile MV are also obtained and used as a simulation result. It is assumed that the mobile MV that has gone off course has retired from the race.
　また、レースのシミュレーションでは、移動体ＭＶの速度ｖと移動体ＭＶが通過するコース区間ＣＥの形状とに基づいて、移動体ＭＶに作用する遠心力を求める。例えば、図８に示す例において、移動体ＭＶがコース区間ＣＥ１に侵入するときの速度ｖ＝３０とコース区間ＣＥ１の形状「ストレート」に基づいてコース区間ＣＥ１を通過するときの遠心力を求め、移動体ＭＶがコース区間ＣＥ２に侵入するときの速度ｖ＝３０とコース区間ＣＥ２の形状「コーナー」に基づいてコース区間ＣＥ２を通過するときの遠心力を求め、移動体ＭＶがコース区間ＣＥ３に侵入するときの速度ｖ＝２７とコース区間ＣＥ３の形状「コーナー」に基づいてコース区間ＣＥ３を通過するときの遠心力を求め、以下同様にして、各コース区間ＣＥを通過するときの遠心力を求める。この遠心力は、移動体ＭＶの速度ｖが大きいほど大きくなり、また、「ストレート」のコース区間ＣＥを通過する場合よりも「コーナー」のコース区間ＣＥを通過する場合の方が大きくなる。また、「コーナー」のコース区間ＣＥに曲率半径の異なるものがある場合には、遠心力は、移動体ＭＶが通過する「コーナー」のコース区間ＣＥの曲率半径が小さいほど大きくなる。なお、移動体ＭＶに作用する遠心力を、物理法則に従って（移動体ＭＶの重さ、速度ｖ及びコース区間ＣＥの曲率半径を用いた公式により）算出するようにしてもよい。 Further, in the race simulation, the centrifugal force acting on the moving body MV is obtained based on the velocity v of the moving body MV and the shape of the course section CE through which the moving body MV passes. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 8, the centrifugal force when the movable body MV passes a course section CE 1 based on the shape "straight" velocity v = 30 and courses section CE 1 when entering the course segment CE 1 look, determine the centrifugal force when passing through a course section CE 2 based on the shape "corner" of the velocity v = 30 and courses section CE 2 when the moving body MV from entering the course section CE 2, mobile MV There obtains a centrifugal force when passing through a course section CE 3 on the basis of the shape "corner" of the velocity v = 27 and courses section CE 3 when entering the course segment CE 3, in the same manner, each course segment CE Find the centrifugal force when passing through. This centrifugal force increases as the velocity v of the moving body MV increases, and becomes larger when passing through the "corner" course section CE than when passing through the "straight" course section CE. Further, when the course section CE of the "corner" has a different radius of curvature, the centrifugal force increases as the radius of curvature of the course section CE of the "corner" through which the moving body MV passes is smaller. The centrifugal force acting on the moving body MV may be calculated according to the laws of physics (by a formula using the weight of the moving body MV, the velocity v, and the radius of curvature of the course section CE).
　そして、シミュレーションでは、移動体ＭＶがコース区間ＣＥを通過する（コース区間ＣＥに侵入する）ごとに、移動体ＭＶに作用する遠心力と、移動体ＭＶの安定性３４０（安定性、重心）とに基づいて、移動体ＭＶがコースアウトするか否かを判定する。例えば、移動体ＭＶに作用する遠心力と移動体ＭＶの安定性３４０とに基づいて、コースアウトの危険度を示す値を算出する。当該危険度の値は、移動体ＭＶに作用する遠心力が大きいほど大きくなり、移動体ＭＶの安定性が高いほど小さくなる。また、当該危険度の値は、移動体ＭＶの重心が低いほど小さくなり、移動体ＭＶの前後の重心が「前」や「後ろ」である場合よりも「中央」である場合の方が小さくなる。そして、算出した危険度の値が第１の閾値Ｔ１未満であれば、コースアウトしないと判定し、算出した危険度の値が第２の閾値Ｔ２（Ｔ２＞Ｔ１）より大きければ、コースアウトすると判定する。また、算出した危険度の値が第１の閾値Ｔ１以上であって第２の閾値Ｔ２以下である場合には、乱数発生手段と抽選テーブル等を用いて抽選によりコースアウトするか否かを決定する。この場合、算出した危険度の値が大きいほど、コースアウトすると決定される確率が高くなるように、抽選確率を変更する。移動体ＭＶがコースアウトとすると判定した場合には、コースアウトした移動体ＭＶと、コースアウトの発生場所（何周目、何番目のコース区間ＣＥでコースアウトが発生するか）とを特定する情報を、シミュレーション結果とする。 Then, in the simulation, each time the moving body MV passes through the course section CE (enters the course section CE), the centrifugal force acting on the moving body MV and the stability 340 (stability, center of gravity) of the moving body MV are obtained. Based on, it is determined whether or not the moving body MV goes off course. For example, a value indicating the risk of course-out is calculated based on the centrifugal force acting on the moving body MV and the stability 340 of the moving body MV. The value of the degree of risk increases as the centrifugal force acting on the moving body MV increases, and decreases as the stability of the moving body MV increases. Further, the value of the degree of risk becomes smaller as the center of gravity of the moving body MV is lower, and is smaller when the center of gravity before and after the moving body MV is "center" than when it is "front" or "rear". Become. Then, if the calculated risk value is less than the first threshold value T1, it is determined not to go off course, and if the calculated risk value is larger than the second threshold value T2 (T2> T1), it is determined to go off course. .. Further, when the calculated risk value is equal to or higher than the first threshold value T1 and equal to or lower than the second threshold value T2, it is determined whether or not to go out of the course by lottery using a random number generating means, a lottery table, or the like. .. In this case, the lottery probability is changed so that the larger the calculated risk value, the higher the probability of being determined to go off course. When it is determined that the mobile MV is out of the course, the information that identifies the mobile MV that has gone out of the course and the place where the course out occurs (what lap and what number of course section CE the course out occurs in) is simulated. As a result.
　また、レースのシミュレーションでは、移動体ＭＶに作用する遠心力と移動体ＭＶの安定性３４０に加えて、移動体ＭＶが通過しているコース区間ＣＥに関連する付加要素に基づいて、移動体ＭＶがコースアウトするか否かを判定してもよい。例えば、移動体ＭＶが「ジャンプ台」のコース区間ＣＥを通過する際に、遠心力と安定性３４０とに基づきコースアウトしないと判定した場合であっても、移動体ＭＶの速度ｖが所定の速度以上である場合には、コースアウトすると判定してもよい。また、移動体ＭＶが「ループチェンジャー」のコース区間ＣＥを通過する際に、遠心力と安定性３４０とに基づきコースアウトしないと判定した場合であっても、移動体ＭＶの速度ｖが所定の速度以下である場合には、コースアウトすると判定してもよい。また、移動体ＭＶが通過しているコース区間ＣＥに関連する付加要素に基づいて、移動体ＭＶがコースアウトする確率を変更してもよい。例えば、移動体ＭＶに作用する遠心力と移動体ＭＶの安定性３４０とに基づき算出した危険度の値が第１の閾値Ｔ１以上であって第２の閾値Ｔ２以下であるとき、移動体ＭＶが「ジャンプ台」や「ループチェンジャー」といった特定のコース区間ＣＥを通過している場合には、移動体ＭＶがコースアウトすると決定される確率が高くなるように抽選確率を変更してもよいし、「ジャンプ台」を通過している移動体ＭＶの速度が所定の速度以上である場合や、「ループチェンジャー」を通過している移動体ＭＶの速度が所定の速度以下である場合に、移動体ＭＶがコースアウトすると決定される確率が１００％になるようにしてもよい。 Also, in the race simulation, the mobile MV is based on the centrifugal force acting on the mobile MV and the stability of the mobile MV 340, as well as additional factors related to the course section CE through which the mobile MV is passing. May decide whether or not to go off course. For example, when the moving body MV passes through the course section CE of the "jump table", even if it is determined that the moving body MV does not go off the course based on the centrifugal force and the stability 340, the speed v of the moving body MV is a predetermined speed. If the above is the case, it may be determined that the vehicle is out of the course. Further, even if it is determined that the moving body MV does not go out of the course based on the centrifugal force and the stability 340 when passing through the course section CE of the "loop changer", the speed v of the moving body MV is a predetermined speed. In the following cases, it may be determined that the vehicle is out of the course. Further, the probability that the mobile MV goes off the course may be changed based on the additional element related to the course section CE through which the mobile MV is passing. For example, when the value of the degree of risk calculated based on the centrifugal force acting on the moving body MV and the stability 340 of the moving body MV is equal to or higher than the first threshold value T1 and equal to or lower than the second threshold value T2, the moving body MV If is passing through a specific course section CE such as "jump stand" or "loop changer", the lottery probability may be changed so that the probability that the mobile MV will be decided to go off course is high. When the speed of the moving body MV passing through the "jump table" is equal to or higher than the predetermined speed, or when the speed of the moving body MV passing through the "loop changer" is equal to or lower than the predetermined speed, the moving body The probability that the MV will be determined to go off course may be 100%.
　また、レースのシミュレーションでは、移動体ＭＶがジャンプして着地する挙動を計算する。例えば、移動体ＭＶが「ジャンプ台」や「下り坂」のコース区間ＣＥを通過する場合に、移動体ＭＶの速度ｖと安定性３４０（重さ、重心）とに基づいて、移動体ＭＶがジャンプするときの射出角度と着地位置を算出する。ジャンプの射出角度は、移動体ＭＶの前後の重心が「前」である場合の方が「中央」や「後ろ」である場合よりも小さくなる。また、ジャンプの着地位置は、移動体ＭＶの速度ｖが大きいほど遠くなり、移動体ＭＶの重さが大きいほど近くなる。 Also, in the race simulation, the behavior of the moving body MV jumping and landing is calculated. For example, when the moving body MV passes through the course section CE of the "jumping platform" or the "downhill", the moving body MV changes based on the speed v and the stability 340 (weight, center of gravity) of the moving body MV. Calculate the injection angle and landing position when jumping. The injection angle of the jump is smaller when the center of gravity before and after the moving body MV is "front" than when it is "center" or "rear". Further, the landing position of the jump becomes farther as the speed v of the moving body MV increases, and becomes closer as the weight of the moving body MV increases.
　なお、移動体ＭＶの速度３３０及び安定性３４０は、レースの開始ごとに変動する場合がある。例えば、移動体ＭＶのコンディションを示すコンディション情報が各移動体ＭＶに設定されており、各移動体のコンディションがレースの開始ごとにランダムに変動し、当該コンディションの良悪に応じて、レースにおける各移動体ＭＶの速度３３０や安定性３４０を設定するようにしてもよい。また、プレーヤが潤滑油等のメンテンナンス用のアイテムを使用（消費）した場合に、当該プレーヤの移動体ＭＶのコンディションを向上させるようにしてもよい。 The speed 330 and stability 340 of the mobile MV may fluctuate with each start of the race. For example, condition information indicating the condition of the moving body MV is set for each moving body MV, the condition of each moving body changes randomly at the start of the race, and each of the conditions in the race is changed according to the quality of the condition. The speed 330 and stability 340 of the mobile MV may be set. Further, when the player uses (consumes) an item for maintenance such as lubricating oil, the condition of the moving body MV of the player may be improved.
　また、レースのシミュレーションでは、レースの進捗状況に応じて、各移動体の安定性３４０（安定性、耐久力）を減少方向に変化させる。より詳細には、移動体ＭＶの走行内容（走行距離や走行時間、通過したコース区間ＣＥの形状や属性）に応じて当該移動体の耐久力を減少させる。例えば、移動体ＭＶの走行距離や走行時間が長くなるほど、当該移動体ＭＶの耐久力が減少するようにしてもよいし、移動体ＭＶが、特定の形状のコース区間ＣＥ（コーナー、ジャンプ台、ループチェンジャー等、移動体ＭＶに負荷のかかりやすいコース区間ＣＥ）や、コンディションの悪い（破損度合いや凸凹度合いが大きい）コース区間ＣＥや、コース区間ＣＥ間の境界（接続部）を通過する度に、当該移動体ＭＶの耐久力が減少するようにしてもよい。そして、移動体ＭＶの耐久力が減少するに伴って当該移動体ＭＶの安定性も減少する。このようにすると、レースが進んでいくに従って移動体ＭＶの安定性が減少していき、移動体ＭＶのコースアウトが発生し易くなるといった事象を適切に再現することができる。なお、移動体ＭＶの走行内容に応じて当該移動体ＭＶを構成する一部のパーツが走行中に脱落し、これに応じて当該移動体の耐久力や安定性が減少するようにしてもよい。また、レースの進捗状況に応じて、コース区間ＣＥの属性（コンディション）を悪化する方向に変化させるようにしてもよい。例えば、移動体ＭＶがコース区間ＣＥを通過する回数が多くなるほど、当該コース区間ＣＥのコンディションが悪化する（劣化による形状変化や破損度合い、凸凹度合いが大きくなる）ようにしてもよい。このようにすると、レースが進んでいくに従ってコース区間のコンディションが悪化していき、これにより移動体ＭＶの安定性が減少していき、移動体ＭＶのコースアウトが発生し易くなるといった事象を適切に再現することができる。 Also, in the race simulation, the stability 340 (stability, durability) of each moving body is changed in the decreasing direction according to the progress of the race. More specifically, the durability of the moving body is reduced according to the traveling content (mileage, traveling time, shape and attribute of the course section CE passed) of the moving body MV. For example, as the traveling distance and traveling time of the moving body MV become longer, the durability of the moving body MV may be reduced, or the moving body MV may have a specific shape of a course section CE (corner, jump table, etc.). Every time it passes through the course section CE, such as a loop changer, where the load is likely to be applied to the moving body MV), the course section CE in poor condition (the degree of damage and unevenness is large), and the boundary (connection) between the course section CEs. , The durability of the moving body MV may be reduced. Then, as the durability of the moving body MV decreases, the stability of the moving body MV also decreases. By doing so, it is possible to appropriately reproduce the phenomenon that the stability of the moving body MV decreases as the race progresses and the moving body MV is likely to go off course. Depending on the traveling content of the moving body MV, some parts constituting the moving body MV may fall off during traveling, and the durability and stability of the moving body may be reduced accordingly. .. Further, the attribute (condition) of the course section CE may be changed in a direction of deteriorating according to the progress of the race. For example, as the number of times the moving body MV passes through the course section CE increases, the condition of the course section CE may deteriorate (the shape change due to deterioration, the degree of breakage, and the degree of unevenness increase). In this way, the condition of the course section deteriorates as the race progresses, which reduces the stability of the mobile MV and makes it easier for the mobile MV to go out of the course. It can be reproduced.
　レースのシミュレーションが終了すると、サーバ２０は、当該レースに参加した各プレーヤの端末１０に対して、シミュレーション結果（各移動体ＭＶのパーツ特定情報３２０、コースＣＳのコース区間特定情報４２０、各移動体ＭＶの各計算ポイントの通過タイム、ゴールタイム、ゴール着順、コースアウトに関連する情報（コースアウトした移動体ＭＶ、コースアウトの発生場所）、ジャンプに関連する情報（ジャンプした移動体ＭＶ、ジャンプの発生場所、ジャンプの射出角度と着地位置）など）を送信する。 When the simulation of the race is completed, the server 20 sends the simulation results (part identification information 320 of each moving body MV, course section specific information 420 of the course CS, each moving body) to the terminal 10 of each player who participated in the race. Passing time, goal time, goal arrival order, information related to course out (moving body MV out of course, place of occurrence of course out), information related to jump (moving body MV jumped, place of occurrence of jump) of each calculation point of MV , Jump ejection angle and landing position) etc.).
　シミュレーション結果を受信した端末１０（再生部１１０）は、受信したシミュレーション結果に基づいて、レースを再現する再現画像（再現映像）を生成して再生する。再現画像の生成・再生においては、パーツ特定情報３２０で特定される各移動体ＭＶと、コース区間特定情報４２０で特定されるコースＣＳとを仮想空間内に配置し、各移動体ＭＶの各計算ポイントの通過タイムやコースアウトに関する情報、ジャンプに関する情報に基づいて、各移動体ＭＶの移動情報（位置、回転角度等）を算出するとともに、仮想空間内の仮想カメラから見える画像を生成して表示部１９０に出力する処理を、１フレーム（１／６０秒）ごとに繰り返す。なお、移動体ＭＶのコースアウトが発生する場合には、コースアウトが発生するコース区間ＣＥの形状や、コースアウト発生時の移動体ＭＶの速度ｖ等に応じて、移動体ＭＶがコースアウトするモーションを生成（或いは選択）し、生成したモーションに応じて当該移動体ＭＶの移動情報を算出する。また、移動体ＭＶのジャンプが発生する場合には、ジャンプが発生するコース区間ＣＥの形状や、ジャンプの射出角度と着地位置等に応じて、移動体ＭＶがジャンプするモーションを生成し、生成したモーションに応じて当該移動体ＭＶの移動情報を算出する。これらの処理により、各移動体ＭＶが、シミュレーション結果に従って、コースＣＳに沿って走行し、コースアウトやジャンプする再現画像が再生される。なお、再生部１１０は、再現画像を再生する端末１０のプレーヤの移動体ＭＶが再生画像に常時映り込むように、当該移動体ＭＶの移動に合わせて仮想カメラを移動させたり、当該移動体ＭＶの走行位置に応じて複数の仮想カメラを切り替えたりする制御を行う。 The terminal 10 (reproduction unit 110) that has received the simulation result generates and reproduces a reproduction image (reproduction video) that reproduces the race based on the received simulation result. In the generation / reproduction of the reproduced image, each moving body MV specified by the part specific information 320 and the course CS specified by the course section specific information 420 are arranged in the virtual space, and each calculation of each moving body MV is performed. Based on the point passage time, course out information, and jump information, the movement information (position, rotation angle, etc.) of each moving body MV is calculated, and an image that can be seen from the virtual camera in the virtual space is generated and displayed. The process of outputting to 190 is repeated every frame (1/60 second). When the course-out of the moving body MV occurs, a motion of the moving body MV going out of the course is generated according to the shape of the course section CE where the course-out occurs, the speed v of the moving body MV at the time of the course-out, etc. ( Or select), and calculate the movement information of the moving body MV according to the generated motion. Further, when a jump of the moving body MV occurs, a motion of the moving body MV jumping is generated and generated according to the shape of the course section CE where the jump occurs, the injection angle and the landing position of the jump, and the like. The movement information of the moving body MV is calculated according to the motion. By these processes, each moving body MV travels along the course CS according to the simulation result, and a reproduced image of going out of the course or jumping is reproduced. In addition, the reproduction unit 110 moves the virtual camera according to the movement of the moving body MV so that the moving body MV of the player of the terminal 10 that reproduces the reproduced image is always reflected in the reproduced image, or the moving body MV. Controls to switch between a plurality of virtual cameras according to the traveling position of the camera.
　また、再生部１１０は、シミュレーション結果においてコースアウトが発生する場合に、コースアウトのシーンを印象付けるための演出を行う。例えば、当該演出として、コースアウト発生前後において、コースアウトが発生するコース区間ＣＥを俯瞰する仮想カメラに切り替えて再現画像を生成することで、移動体ＭＶがコースアウトする様子を再現画像で把握し易くするようにしてもよい。また、当該演出として、移動体ＭＶがコースアウトする直前において、当該移動体ＭＶをズームアップ等するように仮想カメラのカメラワーク（位置、向き、画角等）を制御したり、再生している音楽を切り替えたり、当該移動体ＭＶに関連付けて所定のエフェクト画像を表示させたりすることで、コースアウトの危険性が迫っていることをプレーヤが把握し易くするようにしてもよい。 In addition, the reproduction unit 110 performs an effect for impressing the course-out scene when the course-out occurs in the simulation result. For example, as the effect, before and after the course out occurs, by switching to a virtual camera that overlooks the course section CE where the course out occurs and generating a reproduced image, it is easy to grasp how the moving body MV goes out of the course in the reproduced image. It may be. In addition, as the effect, just before the moving body MV goes out of the course, the camera work (position, orientation, angle of view, etc.) of the virtual camera is controlled so as to zoom up the moving body MV, or the music being played. By switching the above and displaying a predetermined effect image in association with the moving body MV, it may be easier for the player to grasp that the danger of going out of the course is imminent.
　本実施形態によれば、移動体ＭＶの速度及び安定性とコースＣＳを構成する複数のコース区間ＣＥそれぞれの形状を管理しておき、レースをシミュレーションする際に、移動体ＭＶがコース区間ＣＥを通過するごとに、当該移動体ＭＶの速度ｖと当該コース区間ＣＥの形状とに基づく遠心力と、当該移動体ＭＶの安定性とに基づいて、当該移動体ＭＶがコースアウトするか否かを判断することで、移動体ＭＶがコースＣＳに沿って自動的に走行してレースを行うゲームにおいて移動体ＭＶのコースアウトを適切に再現することができる。また、本実施形態では、移動体ＭＶの速度と安定性は、当該移動体ＭＶを構成する複数のパーツに応じて設定され、プレーヤは、移動体ＭＶを構成するパーツを変更したり強化したりしてカスタマイズすることができる。従って、エントリーしようとするコースＣＳの構成（どの形状のコース区間ＣＥがどのように組み合わされてコースＣＳが構成されているか）を基に、どのように移動体ＭＶをカスタマイズすれば移動体ＭＶがコースアウトしないかを考える楽しさをプレーヤに与えることができ、ゲームの興趣性を高めることができる。例えば、エントリーしようとするコースＣＳが、「コーナー」や「ジャンプ台」を多く含み、コースアウトが発生し易いコースＣＳである場合には、移動体ＭＶの安定性を重視して移動体ＭＶの各部のパーツを設定し、エントリーしようとするコースＣＳが、連続する「ストレート」を多く含み、コースアウトが発生し難く高速走行が可能なコースＣＳである場合には、移動体ＭＶの速度を重視して移動体ＭＶの各部のパーツを設定するといったカスタマイズを楽しむことができる。 According to the present embodiment, the speed and stability of the moving body MV and the shape of each of the plurality of course section CEs constituting the course CS are managed, and when the race is simulated, the moving body MV performs the course section CE. Each time it passes, it is determined whether or not the moving body MV goes off course based on the centrifugal force based on the speed v of the moving body MV and the shape of the course section CE and the stability of the moving body MV. By doing so, it is possible to appropriately reproduce the course-out of the mobile MV in the game in which the mobile MV automatically runs along the course CS and races. Further, in the present embodiment, the speed and stability of the moving body MV are set according to a plurality of parts constituting the moving body MV, and the player may change or strengthen the parts constituting the moving body MV. Can be customized. Therefore, if the mobile MV is customized based on the configuration of the course CS to be entered (what shape of the course section CE is combined and how the course CS is formed), the mobile MV can be obtained. It is possible to give the player the joy of thinking about whether or not to go off course, and to enhance the fun of the game. For example, if the course CS to be entered includes many "corners" and "jumping platforms" and the course CS is likely to cause course out, each part of the mobile MV emphasizes the stability of the mobile MV. If the course CS that you are trying to enter by setting the parts of is a course CS that contains many continuous "straights", is unlikely to go out of the course, and can run at high speed, emphasize the speed of the moving body MV. You can enjoy customization such as setting the parts of each part of the mobile MV.
　なお、プレーヤは、端末１０において、自身の移動体ＭＶがコースＣＳを走行するレースの再現画像を見ることができるが、更に、再現画像の再生中に所定入力を行うことで、レース内容に介入できる（レース内容にプレーヤ操作を介在させる）ようにしてもよい。例えば、プレーヤによって、再現画像が再生されているゲーム画面に表示された所定のボタンを押す操作が行われた場合や、所定のアイテムを消費する操作が行われた場合に、レース中の当該プレーヤの移動体ＭＶを加速させたり、当該移動体ＭＶの安定性を増加させたりする。 The player can see the reproduced image of the race in which the moving body MV runs on the course CS on the terminal 10, but further, by performing a predetermined input during the reproduction of the reproduced image, the player intervenes in the race content. It may be possible (player operation is intervened in the race content). For example, when the player presses a predetermined button displayed on the game screen on which the reproduced image is being played, or when an operation that consumes a predetermined item is performed, the player during the race is in effect. It accelerates the moving body MV of the moving body MV and increases the stability of the moving body MV.
　再現画像の再生中にプレーヤの所定入力が行われる場合の動作シーケンスについて図９を用いて説明する。図９に示すように、端末１０においてレース開始を指示する入力が行われると、サーバ２０において、レース（レース開始から終了まで）のシミュレーションを計算し、シミュレーション結果を端末１０に送信する。端末１０では、サーバ２０から受信したシミュレーション結果に基づく再現画像の生成・再生を開始する。端末１０において、再現画像の再生中にプレーヤによって所定入力が行われると、サーバ２０において、当該所定入力に基づいて、レース内時間において当該所定入力のあった時点後のレースのシミュレーションを再計算する（再シミュレーションする）。例えば、再現画像の再生開始（レース開始）から１分０秒が経過した時点でプレーヤによって所定入力が行われた場合、レース開始から１分０秒経過した時点の当該プレーヤの移動体ＭＶを加速させて、レース開始から１分０秒経過した時点後のレースを再シミュレーションする。ここで、再シミュレーションの計算にかかる時間や通信遅延による遅延時間を考慮して、再シミュレーションの開始時点を決定する。例えば、レース開始から１分０秒が経過した時点で所定入力が行われ、当該遅延時間が１秒であるとすると、レース開始から１分１秒経過した時点以降のレースを再シミュレーションする。端末１０では、サーバ２０から再シミュレーション結果を受信した時点から、当該再シミュレーション結果に基づく再現画像の生成・再生を開始する（再生中の再現映像を、再シミュレーション結果に基づく再現画像に差し替える）。例えば、レース開始から１分０秒が経過した時点で所定入力が行われた場合、レース開始から１分１秒経過するまでは最初のシミュレーション結果に基づく再現画像を再生し、再シミュレーション結果を受信した時点（レース開始から１分１秒経過した時点）からは再シミュレーション結果に基づく再現画像を再生する。このように、プレーヤは所定入力を行った後に、それ以降の（所定入力による影響を受けた）レース内容を確認することができる。 The operation sequence when a predetermined input of the player is performed during the reproduction of the reproduced image will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, when the terminal 10 receives an input instructing the start of the race, the server 20 calculates a simulation of the race (from the start to the end of the race) and transmits the simulation result to the terminal 10. The terminal 10 starts generating and reproducing a reproduced image based on the simulation result received from the server 20. When a predetermined input is made by the player during reproduction of the reproduced image on the terminal 10, the server 20 recalculates the simulation of the race after the time when the predetermined input is made in the in-race time based on the predetermined input. (Resimulate). For example, if a predetermined input is made by the player when 1 minute and 0 seconds have passed from the start of reproduction of the reproduced image (start of the race), the moving body MV of the player when 1 minute and 0 seconds have passed from the start of the race is accelerated. Then, the race is re-simulated after 1 minute and 0 seconds have passed from the start of the race. Here, the start time of the re-simulation is determined in consideration of the time required for the calculation of the re-simulation and the delay time due to the communication delay. For example, assuming that a predetermined input is made when 1 minute and 0 seconds have passed from the start of the race and the delay time is 1 second, the race after 1 minute and 1 second has passed from the start of the race is re-simulated. The terminal 10 starts generating and reproducing a reproduced image based on the re-simulation result from the time when the re-simulation result is received from the server 20 (replaces the reproduced image being reproduced with the reproduced image based on the re-simulation result). For example, if a predetermined input is made when 1 minute and 0 seconds have passed from the start of the race, the reproduced image based on the first simulation result is reproduced and the re-simulation result is received until 1 minute and 1 second has passed from the start of the race. From that point (when 1 minute and 1 second has passed from the start of the race), the reproduced image based on the re-simulation result is reproduced. In this way, the player can confirm the content of the race (affected by the predetermined input) after the predetermined input is performed.
　なお、再現画像の再生中のプレーヤの所定入力によってもレース内容が変わらない場合には、再シミュレーションは行われない。例えば、再現画像再生中のプレーヤの所定入力が当該プレーヤの移動体ＭＶがコースアウトする直前に行われたため、当該所定入力に基づく再シミュレーションが行われても当該移動体ＭＶがコースアウトする結果が変わらない場合には、当該再シミュレーションを行わない。例えば、プレーヤの所定入力が行われた時点から当該プレーヤの移動体ＭＶがコースアウトするまでの時間が所定時間よりも短い場合には、再シミュレーションを行わないと判断してもよい。 Note that if the race content does not change even with the predetermined input of the player during playback of the reproduced image, re-simulation will not be performed. For example, since the predetermined input of the player during reproduction of the reproduced image is performed immediately before the moving body MV of the player goes out of the course, the result of the moving body MV going out of the course does not change even if the re-simulation based on the predetermined input is performed. In that case, the re-simulation is not performed. For example, if the time from the time when the player's predetermined input is made to the time when the player's moving body MV goes off course is shorter than the predetermined time, it may be determined that the re-simulation is not performed.
　３．処理
　次に、本実施形態のゲームシステム（サーバ２０）の処理の一例について図１０のフローチャートを用いて説明する。 3. 3. Processing Next, an example of processing of the game system (server 20) of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
　まず、移動体情報管理部２１０は、端末１０から、プレーヤが保有する移動体ＭＶをカスタマイズする（パーツを交換、強化、改造する）操作が行われた旨の情報を受信したか否かを判断し（ステップＳ１０）、当該情報を受信した場合（ステップＳ１０のＹ）には、当該操作に応じて、当該端末１０のプレーヤに関連付けられた移動体情報３００を更新する（ステップＳ１１）。すなわち、当該操作に応じて、当該プレーヤの移動体ＭＶのパーツ特定情報３２０を更新し、更新後のパーツ特定情報３２０に応じて、当該移動体ＭＶの速度３３０及び安定性３４０を更新する。 First, the mobile information management unit 210 determines whether or not the terminal 10 has received information indicating that the operation of customizing the mobile MV owned by the player (replacement, strengthening, or modification of parts) has been performed. Then (step S10), when the information is received (Y in step S10), the mobile information 300 associated with the player of the terminal 10 is updated according to the operation (step S11). That is, the part identification information 320 of the moving body MV of the player is updated according to the operation, and the speed 330 and the stability 340 of the moving body MV are updated according to the updated part identification information 320.
　次に、制御部２１４は、端末１０から、レースにエントリーする操作が行われた旨の情報を受信したか否かを判断し（ステップＳ１２）、当該情報を受信した場合（ステップＳ１２のＹ）には、当該端末１０のプレーヤの移動体ＭＶを、当該情報で特定されるレースにエントリーさせる処理を行う（ステップＳ１３）。プレーヤがエントリーしたレースのエントリー数が所定数に達した場合には、当該プレーヤの端末１０に対してその旨の通知がなされる。 Next, the control unit 214 determines whether or not the information indicating that the operation to enter the race has been performed has been received from the terminal 10 (step S12), and when the information is received (Y in step S12). Is a process of entering the mobile MV of the player of the terminal 10 into the race specified by the information (step S13). When the number of entries in the race entered by the player reaches a predetermined number, the terminal 10 of the player is notified to that effect.
　次に、制御部２１４は、端末１０から、レースの開始を指示する操作が行われた旨の情報を受信したか否かを判断し（ステップＳ１４）、当該情報を受信した場合（ステップＳ１４のＹ）には、当該レースに参加する各プレーヤに関連付けられた移動体情報３００と、当該レースのコースＣＳに関連付けられたコース区間情報４００とに基づいて、当該コースＣＳを当該各プレーヤの移動体ＭＶが走行するレースのシミュレーションを計算し（ステップＳ１５）、計算結果（シミュレーション結果）を当該各プレーヤの端末１０に送信する（ステップＳ１６）。 Next, the control unit 214 determines whether or not the information indicating that the operation for instructing the start of the race has been performed has been received from the terminal 10 (step S14), and when the information is received (step S14). In Y), based on the moving body information 300 associated with each player participating in the race and the course section information 400 associated with the course CS of the race, the course CS is used as the moving body of each player. A simulation of the race in which the MV runs is calculated (step S15), and the calculation result (simulation result) is transmitted to the terminal 10 of each player (step S16).
　次に、制御部２１４は、端末１０から、再生画像の再生中に所定入力（所定ボタンの操作や所定アイテムの使用）が行われた旨の情報を受信したか否かを判断し（ステップＳ１７）、当該情報を受信した場合（ステップＳ１７のＹ）には、当該所定入力に基づいて、当該所定入力があった時点後のレースのシミュレーションを再計算し（ステップＳ１８）、再計算結果（再シミュレーション結果）を当該レースに参加する各プレーヤの端末１０に送信する（ステップＳ１９）。次に、端末１０から、再生画像の再生が終了した旨の情報を受信したか否かを判断し（ステップＳ２０）、当該情報を受信していない場合（ステップＳ２０のＮ）には、ステップＳ１７に移行する。当該情報を受信した場合（ステップＳ２０のＹ）には、レース結果（ゴール着順）に応じてプレーヤに報酬（パーツやアイテム等のゲーム媒体、ゲーム内通貨）を付与する（ステップＳ２１）。次に、処理部２００は、処理を継続するか否かを判断し（ステップＳ２２）、処理を継続する場合（ステップＳ２２のＹ）には、ステップＳ１０に移行する。 Next, the control unit 214 determines whether or not the terminal 10 has received information indicating that a predetermined input (operation of a predetermined button or use of a predetermined item) has been performed during playback of the reproduced image (step S17). ), When the information is received (Y in step S17), the simulation of the race after the time when the predetermined input is received is recalculated based on the predetermined input (step S18), and the recalculation result (recalculation). The simulation result) is transmitted to the terminal 10 of each player participating in the race (step S19). Next, it is determined whether or not the information indicating that the reproduction of the reproduced image is completed is received from the terminal 10 (step S20), and if the information is not received (N in step S20), step S17. Move to. When the information is received (Y in step S20), a reward (game medium such as parts and items, in-game currency) is given to the player according to the race result (goal arrival order) (step S21). Next, the processing unit 200 determines whether or not to continue the processing (step S22), and if the processing is continued (Y in step S22), the process proceeds to step S10.
　次に、シミュレーション計算（図１０のステップＳ１５）の処理の一例について、図１１のフローチャートを用いて説明する。 Next, an example of the processing of the simulation calculation (step S15 in FIG. 10) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
　まず、制御部２１４は、変数ｍに１をセットし（ステップＳ３０）、変数ｎに１をセットする（ステップＳ３１）。変数ｍは、移動体ＭＶの周回数を示し、変数ｎは、コースＣＳを構成するコース区間ＣＥの番号（スタート地点Ｓから進行方向への接続順）を示す。 First, the control unit 214 sets the variable m to 1 (step S30) and sets the variable n to 1 (step S31). The variable m indicates the number of laps of the moving body MV, and the variable n indicates the number of the course section CE constituting the course CS (connection order from the start point S in the traveling direction).
　次に、制御部２１４は、移動体ＭＶの速度３３０（最高速度、加速性）と、ｍ周目ｎ－１番目のコース区間ＣＥの形状と、移動体ＭＶがｍ周目ｎ－１番目のコース区間ＣＥに侵入するときの速度ｖ（前回計算した速度ｖ）とに基づいて、移動体ＭＶがｍ周目ｎ番目のコース区間ＣＥに侵入するときの速度ｖを算出する（ステップＳ３２）。なお、ｍ＝１、ｎ＝１であるとき（レース開始時）は、移動体ＭＶの速度３３０に基づいて或いはランダムに決定した移動体ＭＶの初速を、速度ｖとする。また、ｍ≠１、ｎ＝１であるときは、移動体ＭＶの速度３３０と、ｍ－１周目Ｎ番目のコース区間ＣＥの形状と、移動体ＭＶがｍ－１周目Ｎ番目のコース区間ＣＥに侵入するときの速度ｖ（前回計算した速度ｖ）とに基づいて、移動体ＭＶがｍ周目１番目のコース区間ＣＥに侵入するときの速度ｖを算出する。次に、制御部２１４は、算出した速度ｖに基づいて、移動体ＭＶがｍ周目ｎ番目のコース区間ＣＥ（計算ポイント）を通過するときの通過タイムを算出し、シミュレーション結果に格納する（ステップＳ３３）。 Next, the control unit 214 has the speed 330 (maximum speed, acceleration) of the moving body MV, the shape of the course section CE on the mth lap n-1st, and the moving body MV on the mth lap n-1st. Based on the speed v when invading the course section CE (speed v calculated last time), the speed v when the moving body MV invades the nth course section CE on the mth lap is calculated (step S32). When m = 1 and n = 1 (at the start of the race), the initial speed of the moving body MV determined based on or randomly determined by the speed 330 of the moving body MV is defined as the speed v. When m ≠ 1, n = 1, the speed 330 of the moving body MV, the shape of the Nth course section CE on the m-1st lap, and the Nth course of the moving body MV on the m-1st lap. Based on the speed v when entering the section CE (the speed v calculated last time), the speed v when the moving body MV invades the first course section CE on the mth lap is calculated. Next, the control unit 214 calculates the passing time when the moving body MV passes through the nth course section CE (calculation point) on the mth lap based on the calculated speed v, and stores it in the simulation result ( Step S33).
　次に、判断部２１６は、算出した速度ｖとｍ周目ｎ番目のコース区間ＣＥの形状とに基づいて、移動体ＭＶがｍ周目ｎ番目のコース区間ＣＥを通過するときに移動体ＭＶに作用する遠心力を算出し（ステップＳ３４）、算出した遠心力と移動体ＭＶの安定性３４０（安定性、重心）とに基づいて、コースアウトの危険度ｒを算出する（ステップＳ３５）。次に、判断部２１６は、算出した危険度ｒが第１の閾値Ｔ１以上であるか否かを判断し（ステップＳ３６）、危険度ｒが第１の閾値Ｔ１以上である場合（ステップＳ３６のＹ）には、危険度ｒが第２の閾値Ｔ２より大であるか否かを判断する（ステップＳ３７）。危険度ｒが第１の閾値Ｔ１以上であり第２の閾値Ｔ２以下である場合（ステップＳ３７のＮ）には、判断部２１６は、危険度ｒの値が大きいほど当選確率が高くなる抽選処理を行う（ステップＳ３８）。危険度ｒが第２の閾値Ｔ２より大である場合（ステップＳ３７のＹ）、抽選処理で当選した場合（ステップＳ３９のＹ）には、判断部２１６は、ｍ周目ｎ番目のコース区間ＣＥでコースアウトが発生することを示すフラグを設定し、シミュレーション結果に格納する（ステップＳ４０）。危険度ｒが第１の閾値Ｔ１未満である場合（ステップＳ３６のＮ）、抽選処理で当選しなかった場合（ステップＳ３９のＮ）には、コースアウトのフラグを設定せずにステップＳ４１に移行する。 Next, the determination unit 216 determines that the moving body MV passes through the nth course section CE on the mth lap based on the calculated velocity v and the shape of the nth course section CE on the mth lap. The centrifugal force acting on the vehicle is calculated (step S34), and the risk level r of course out is calculated based on the calculated centrifugal force and the stability 340 (stability, center of gravity) of the moving body MV (step S35). Next, the determination unit 216 determines whether or not the calculated risk level r is equal to or higher than the first threshold value T1 (step S36), and when the risk level r is equal to or higher than the first threshold value T1 (step S36). In Y), it is determined whether or not the risk level r is larger than the second threshold value T2 (step S37). When the risk level r is equal to or higher than the first threshold value T1 and equal to or lower than the second threshold value T2 (N in step S37), the determination unit 216 performs a lottery process in which the larger the value of the risk level r, the higher the winning probability. (Step S38). When the risk level r is larger than the second threshold value T2 (Y in step S37) and the lottery process is won (Y in step S39), the determination unit 216 determines the nth course section CE on the m lap. A flag indicating that a course-out will occur is set and stored in the simulation result (step S40). If the risk level r is less than the first threshold value T1 (N in step S36) and the lottery process is not won (N in step S39), the process proceeds to step S41 without setting the course-out flag. ..
　次に、制御部２１４は、移動体ＭＶの安定性３４０（耐久力、安定性）を減少させる（ステップＳ４１）。ここで、ｍ周目ｎ番目のコース区間ＣＥのコンディションに応じて移動体ＭＶの安定性３４０の減少量を変化させ、当該コンディションが悪いほど当該減少量が大きくなるようにしてもよい。 Next, the control unit 214 reduces the stability 340 (durability, stability) of the moving body MV (step S41). Here, the amount of decrease in the stability 340 of the moving body MV may be changed according to the condition of the nth course section CE on the mth lap, and the amount of decrease may be increased as the condition is worse.
　次に制御部２１４は、変数ｎがＮに達した（移動体ＭＶがコースＣＳを１周した）か否かを判断し（ステップＳ４２）、変数ｎがＮに達していない場合（ステップＳ４２のＮ）には、変数ｎに１を加算して（ステップＳ４３）、ステップＳ３２に移行する。変数ｎがＮに達した場合（ステップＳ４２のＹ）には、制御部２１４は、変数ｍがＭに達した（移動体ＭＶがコースＣＳをＭ周してゴールした）か否かを判断し（ステップＳ４４）、変数ｍがＭに達していない場合（ステップＳ４４のＮ）には、変数ｍに１を加算して（ステップＳ４５）、ステップＳ３１に移行する。以降、移動体ＭＶがコースＣＳをＭ周するまで、ステップＳ３１以下の処理を繰り返す。以上の処理を、レースに参加する移動体ＭＶごとに行い、全ての移動体ＭＶがゴールした場合に、各移動体ＭＶのゴールタイム（Ｍ周目Ｎ番目のコース区間ＣＥの通過タイム）に基づきゴール着順を算出し、シミュレーション結果に格納する。 Next, the control unit 214 determines whether or not the variable n has reached N (the mobile MV has made one round of the course CS) (step S42), and when the variable n has not reached N (step S42). In N), 1 is added to the variable n (step S43), and the process proceeds to step S32. When the variable n reaches N (Y in step S42), the control unit 214 determines whether or not the variable m has reached M (the moving body MV goes around the course CS M and finishes). (Step S44) If the variable m has not reached M (N in step S44), 1 is added to the variable m (step S45), and the process proceeds to step S31. After that, the process of step S31 or less is repeated until the moving body MV makes M rounds of the course CS. The above processing is performed for each mobile MV participating in the race, and when all the mobile MVs reach the goal, based on the goal time of each mobile MV (passing time of the Nth course section CE on the M lap). Calculate the goal arrival order and store it in the simulation result.
