In addition, the embodiment shown below does not limit the content of the invention described in the claim at all. Further, all of the configurations shown in the following embodiments are not necessarily essential as means for solving the invention described in the claims.

  FIG. 1 is an external view of a mobile phone 100 according to an example of this embodiment.

  The mobile phone 100 functioning as a game system displays a game image on the liquid crystal display 142.

  FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a game image 300 in an initial state according to an example of the present embodiment. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing a game image 310 at the time of operation according to an example of the present embodiment.

  In the game according to the present embodiment, a plurality of players (including a CPU player) alternately operate a group of operation pieces (one or a plurality of pieces, for example, two pieces in this embodiment) 510 as a game area. The frame group 500 is accumulated in the game area.

  In the game image 300 in the initial state shown in FIG. 2, a frame group 500 (one or a plurality of frames, for example, four frames in the initial state of this embodiment) classified by shape and color is arranged below. ing. For example, player A's frame is white and player B's frame is gray.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the player moves the operation frame group 510 below the game image 310 while moving and rotating the operation piece group 510 by a key operation of the mobile phone 100. It should be noted that the player must arrange the operation frame group 510 at a position in contact with the existing frame group 500. Further, since the game is a fallen game, even when the player does not operate, the operation piece group 510 naturally falls toward the lower side of the game image 300.

  Then, the player erases the sandwiched opponent player's frame group 500 by sandwiching the opponent player's frame group 500 vertically, horizontally, and diagonally between frames of the same color and shape. The cellular phone 100 gives a score to the player for deleting the frame group 500 and increases the parameter value of the player. In addition, when the frame group 500 of the player having a shape different from the shape of the frame group 500 of the sandwiched player is between the frame groups 500 of the sandwiched player, the frame group 500 is not deleted.

  FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing game images 320 to 324 at the time of frame deletion according to an example of the present embodiment.

  For example, in the game image 320, by dropping the operation piece group 510, the piece group 500 of the opponent player is divided into the piece A included in the operation piece group 510 and the piece C included in the existing piece group 500. It is in a state of sandwiching. As a result, the frame group 500 is erased, and the frame group 500 placed on the frame group 500 moves downward.

  Thereby, the state of the game image 322 is obtained. The frame group 500 moved downward includes frame B. In this state, the frame group 500 of the opponent player is placed between the frame B and the frame E included in the existing frame group 500 at the same time the frame B of the opponent player is sandwiched between the frame B and the frame D included in the existing frame group 500. Is in a state of being sandwiched (erasable state). As a result, the frame group 500 is erased, and the frame group 500 placed on the frame group 500 moves downward.

  Thereby, the state of the game image 324 is obtained. The frame group 500 moved downward includes frame B. In this state, the frame group 500 of the opponent player is placed between the frame B and the frame G included in the existing frame group 500 at the same time as the frame B of the opponent player is sandwiched between the frame B and the frame F included in the existing frame group 500. It is in a sandwiched state (erasable state). As a result, the frame group 500 is erased, and the frame group 500 placed on the frame group 500 moves downward.

  As described above, in the game of this embodiment, by placing the opponent player's piece group 500 between pieces of the same shape of the same player, the piece group 500 is erased, and a score is given to the erased player. Note that when the player performs an erasure chain as shown in FIG. 4, more points and parameter values are given to the player than when the chain is not performed.

  In the case of such a game, it is difficult to delete the frame group 500 in the lowermost line, and in particular, the frame group 500 at the corner of the frame group 500 (in the game images 320 to 324, the gray triangle on the left side). Frame and white square frame on the right) cannot be deleted.

  For this reason, if the player places his / her piece at the position of the piece group 500 in the lowest line, it is overwhelmingly advantageous over other players.

  In the present embodiment, in order to prevent such a situation and increase the possibility of the situation reversal, when the operation frame group 510 is stopped beyond the reference line, the mobile phone 100 is placed at the lowest level (in this embodiment, A process of erasing the frame group 500 of the lowermost one line is performed.

  FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing game images 330 and 332 when the reference line 400 is exceeded according to an example of the present embodiment.

  For example, in the state shown in the game image 330, the frame group 500 is piled up below the reference line 400, and the operation frame group 510 stops in contact with the frame group 500 across the reference line 400. It is in a state.

  As described above, when the operation frame group 510 stops on the reference line 400, the mobile phone 100 erases the frame group 520 on the lowest line and the remaining frames including the operation frame group 510. A process of scrolling the group 500 downward is performed. A plurality of lines may be erased simultaneously as well as the lowest line.

  When the mobile phone 100 performs such processing, the player can reverse the disadvantaged situation.

  In the case of the mobile phone 100, since the size of the liquid crystal display 142 is smaller than that of the home game device, the game image is difficult to see if the game image for the home game device is used as it is.

  For this reason, in this embodiment, the mobile phone 100 has a barometer image showing the game situation (for example, the score, the number of erased frames, etc.) of the player A and the player B in one figure (percentage stacked bar graph format in this embodiment). The parameter 600 is displayed in the transmission area 710 at the top of the game area 700. In addition, instead of the percentage stacked bar graph format, the percentage pie chart format, each line or bar is divided into 10 equal parts, and each area where the line or the bar is divided for each player according to the ratio of the parameter value of each player. A format for displaying in different colors may be adopted.

  In this way, the mobile phone 100 displays the game status of a plurality of players as a barometer image shown in one drawing, so that the player can confirm at a glance which player is winning.

  Actually, the reference line 400 and the parameter 600 are also displayed in the game image 300 shown in FIGS.

  Next, functional blocks of the mobile phone 100 for realizing such functions will be described.

  FIG. 6 is a functional block diagram of the mobile phone 100 according to an example of the present embodiment.

  The processing unit 110 also includes an image generation unit 112 that generates a game image in which the position of the operation frame group is changed based on the operation information, an audio generation unit 113 that generates game sound, and an operation frame group. When the movement of 510 is stopped, it is determined whether or not a plurality of players' frames including the operation-use frame group 510 are in an erasable state with the other player's frame group 500 interposed therebetween, and a plurality of players are displayed in the game area 700. A determination unit 114 that determines whether or not the operation frame group 510 has stopped after exceeding the reference line 400, and an update unit 116 that updates data in the storage unit 120. It is configured.

  In addition, the storage unit 120 includes a game program 121 for playing a battle-type falling object game, user data 122 indicating a game situation of each player, game setting data 123 indicating a position of a reference line, and a game area. The game area data 124 indicated by the array format data is stored.

  In addition, as hardware for mounting each of these units on a computer, for example, as the processing unit 110, for example, a CPU, an image processing circuit, and the like, as the storage unit 120, for example, as a display unit 140 such as a RAM, etc. The liquid crystal display 142, the input unit 130, for example, a key, the audio output unit 160, for example, a speaker, and the timer unit 150, for example, a system timer may be employed.

  In addition, the mobile phone 100 may read the program for causing the computer to function as each of these units from the information storage medium 180 and implement the function.

  In addition, the game information providing apparatus 100 can read the information not from the information storage medium 180 but from a predetermined host terminal or the like via a network, for example, to realize the various functions described above.

  As the information storage medium 180, for example, a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, IC card, ROM, RAM, memory card, storage medium using a laser, magnetism, or the like such as a hard disk can be applied. The information reading method from the information storage medium 180 may be a contact type or a non-contact type.

  Next, a flow of game image generation processing using such a mobile phone 100 will be described.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a flow of game image generation processing according to an example of the present embodiment.

  Prior to the start of the game, the updating unit 116 refers to the system information indicating the displayable area of the display unit 140 stored in the storage unit 120 or the like, and the size of the array indicating the size of the game area 700 and the reference line 400. The position is set as game setting data 123 (step S1). Further, the update unit 116 secures a storage area for the game area data 124 corresponding to the size of the array indicating the size of the game area 700 based on the game setting data 123 to generate the game area data 124. To do.

  During execution of the game, the image generation unit 112 generates a game image, the display unit 140 displays the game image, the sound generation unit 113 generates game sound, and the sound output unit 160 outputs game sound. To do.

  Further, after the game is started, the input unit 130 inputs operation information in response to a key operation instructing movement, rotation, and the like of the operation piece group 510 by the player (step S2).

  When the operation frame group 510 is stopped, the determination unit 114 determines whether the reference line 400 is exceeded (step S3).

  For example, when the reference line 400 is exceeded as in the game image 330 of FIG. 5, the image generation unit 112 generates a game image in which the bottom frame group 520 is deleted and the remaining frame group 500 is moved downward. (Step S4). The display unit 140 displays a game image such as the game image 332 of FIG.

  If the reference line 400 is not exceeded, the image generation unit 112 does not perform such processing (step S4).

  Then, the image generation unit 112 generates a game image for general game effects such as erasure and chaining of the frame group 500 shown in FIG. 4, and the display unit 140 displays the game image. In addition, the sound output unit 160 outputs game sound. Through such processing, the mobile phone 100 produces a game (step S5).

  In the game production (step S5), the player's score is added in accordance with the deletion of the frame group 500. Specifically, when the determination unit 114 determines that the frame group 500 has been deleted, the update unit 116 updates the data indicating the player's score and the data indicating the parameter value in the user data 122.

  Then, the image generation unit 112 generates a game image in which the parameter 600 is updated according to the parameter value based on the user data 122, and the display unit 140 displays the game image in which the parameter 600 is updated (step S6). . More specifically, for example, when the parameter value of the player A is 60 and the parameter value of the player B is 20, one parameter 600 that is longer on the player A side at a ratio of 3: 1 is displayed in the game image transmission area 710. Is done.

  Then, the determination unit 114 determines whether or not the game is to end based on a predetermined condition (step S7). Here, as the predetermined condition, for example, when the timer value of the timer unit 150 from the start of the game becomes a predetermined value (for example, when 10 minutes have elapsed since the start of the game), the number of appearing frames is predetermined. When the value is exceeded, a case where one player reaches a predetermined score may be adopted. In addition, the image generation unit 112 may perform an effect such as increasing the drop speed of the operation frame group 510 as it approaches the end.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the mobile phone 100 can generate a game image including the top group 500 that is arranged by being operated by a plurality of players in one game area 700. Thereby, the player can play a game in a state in which it is easier to visually recognize compared with the conventional battle-type fallen game.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the mobile phone 100 performs an effect of erasing the frame group 500 when a plurality of frames of a player are in an erasable state with the frame group 500 of another player interposed therebetween. Can do. Thereby, the player can realize a sense of playing against the opponent more than the conventional battle-type fallen game.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, when the operation piece group 510 stops beyond the reference line 400 in a state where the piece group 500 is stacked, the mobile phone 100 displays the piece group 520 at the bottom of the game area. Can be erased. Thereby, for example, even if the bottom stage is filled with another player's frame group and is in a disadvantageous situation, the player can delete his / her top group 500 by deleting the bottom frame group 520. Can be arranged at the lowest level, and it is possible to make a situation advantageous to oneself.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the mobile phone 100 can distinguish each frame based on the color and shape of the frame, and determine whether or not it is in an erasable state according to the color and shape of the frame. This makes it easy for the player to visually recognize each frame and to play a game while considering the next operation of the opponent player, so that it is easy to obtain a sense of battle.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the mobile phone 100 generates a game image that is easily visible to the player by changing the size of the game area 700 and the position of the reference line 400 according to the display capability of the display unit 140. can do. In particular, in the case of a portable terminal device such as the mobile phone 100 or the PDA, the display capability varies depending on the model, and therefore the present invention is effective in that the visibility for the player can be improved.

  Further, as the parameter 600, one figure (percentage stacked bar graph format in the above embodiment) in which the parameter values of each player are integrated is adopted, and the game status of a plurality of players is set as one parameter 600 in one game image. Thus, even in a game device with a small screen such as the liquid crystal display 142 such as the mobile phone 100, the player can accurately grasp the game situation.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, the mobile phone 100 can handle the game area data 124 as an array including the empty area of the game area 700 where the frame group 500 does not exist and the frame group 500 as elements. By updating each element, the frame group 500 can be erased, moved, etc., so that a game image can be generated efficiently.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the update unit 116 determines the size of the game area data 124 according to the display capability of the display unit 140 and secures a storage area for the game area data 124 in the storage unit 120.
