Description

  The present invention relates to a game apparatus, a game control method usable for the game apparatus, and a computer program.

  The progress of hardware of game machines is remarkable, and it is possible to generate and display highly realistic images by improving the drawing performance. Applications such as role-playing games and action games use 3D computer graphics, have a narrative and dynamic feeling, and are inferior to television and movies in terms of visual and sound. It has become. In game machines, classic games such as puzzles, card games, and board games are also enjoyed by a wide range of users.

  When implementing game software on a game machine, it is possible to provide an input interface that considers the operability of the game and assist the user's input operation, thereby facilitating the game progress and allowing the user to continuously enjoy the game. become able to. Conversely, if the operability of the game is not good, the desire to continue the game declines. The simpler the game, the more important is the operability in order to keep the user playing the game. In addition, in order to increase the fun of game play and the interest in the game, it is also necessary to devise how to display the game screen and how to give a score.

  The present invention has been made in view of these problems, and an object thereof is to provide a game device, a game control method, and a program that have high operability and can maintain the sustainability of game play.

A display control function for displaying on the screen a symbol panel, and an arithmetic expression panel that displays the numerical values and the arithmetic symbols selected from each of the numerical panel and the arithmetic symbol panel in a grid; the numerical panel and the arithmetic panel A panel control function for controlling any one of the cells in the operation symbol panel to a selectable state, and an input function for receiving an input instruction for the numbers or operation symbols displayed in the selectable cells The panel control function is configured such that the numerical expression or operation symbol for which input is instructed is calculated in the order in which the input is instructed. It performs control to input to the grid of the panel.

  When the input function accepts a numerical input instruction, the panel control function switches to a state in which the square of the arithmetic symbol panel can be selected next, and the input function accepts an arithmetic symbol input instruction. In such a case, the square of the numeric panel may be switched to a state where it can be selected next. The panel control function moves the cursor alternately between the arithmetic symbol panel and the numeric panel each time the input function accepts an input instruction, so that the square of either the arithmetic symbol panel or the numeric panel is displayed. May be switched to a state where it can be selected next.

  When there is an input notifying the completion of the input of numbers or operation symbols to the arithmetic expression panel, the calculation result of the arithmetic expression formed on the arithmetic expression panel is calculated, and the calculation result is collated with a predetermined answer. Thus, a verification unit that verifies whether the answer is correct may be further included. When the user creates an arithmetic expression at each stage of the game and progresses through the game stages, the predetermined answer to the arithmetic result of the arithmetic expression may always be zero.

  Another aspect of the present invention is a game control method. The method includes: a number panel that displays a predetermined number of numbers arranged in squares while permitting duplication; an arithmetic symbol panel that displays arithmetic symbols of four arithmetic operations arranged in squares; the number panel and the arithmetic symbol panel; An arithmetic expression panel that arranges and presents the numbers selected from each and the arithmetic symbols in a square is displayed on the screen, so that any one square in the numeric panel and the arithmetic symbol panel can be selected.

  A game that runs on the game device 100 according to the present embodiment includes a single digit number from 0 to 9, arithmetic symbols “+”, “−”, “×”, “÷”, and parentheses “()”. It is a kind of puzzle game that creates an arithmetic expression that makes the answer zero.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining a game screen displayed on the display screen 240 of the game apparatus 100. The operation symbol panel 250 includes various operation symbols “+”, “−”, “×”, “÷”, left parenthesis “(”, right parenthesis “)”, and equal sign “=”. Is presented alongside the squares. On the number panel 260, single-digit numbers 0 to 9 are presented side by side with a predetermined number of cells, allowing duplication.

  The user selects any square number from the numeric panel 260 and inputs it to the square on the arithmetic expression panel 270, selects any square arithmetic symbol from the arithmetic symbol panel 250, and enters the square on the arithmetic expression panel 270. input. The arithmetic expression panel 270 displays an arithmetic expression formed from numbers and arithmetic symbols selected by the user. The arithmetic panel 270 has 14 cells, of which 2 cells are used to input an equal sign “=”.

  The game includes an endless mode in which an arithmetic expression is created from a pattern of numbers presented randomly on the number panel 260 to aim for a high score, and a combination of numbers and arithmetic symbols that can be used to create an arithmetic expression with an answer of zero. A pattern to be included is presented as a problem on the numeric panel 260 and the arithmetic symbol panel 250, and there is a stuffing problem mode for solving the problem.

  The user first selects one of the game modes and creates an arithmetic expression on the arithmetic expression panel 270 at each game stage. When the creation of the arithmetic expression is completed, it is verified whether the arithmetic result of the arithmetic expression is zero, that is, whether it is a correct answer. In the endless mode, regardless of whether the calculation result of the created formula is correct, the process proceeds to the next game, but in the stuffing problem mode, if the created formula is not correct, it cannot proceed to the next game. The game is over.

  The display screen 240 is provided with several display fields depending on the game mode. The display screen 240 shown in FIG. 5 shows various display fields in the endless mode, and includes a time display field 280, a level display field 282, a score display field 284, and a message display field 286.

  A predetermined time limit is set for one play, and the time display field 280 displays the remaining time as a gauge as indicated by diagonal lines. As the remaining time decreases, the shaded area becomes shorter. When the remaining time becomes 0, the game is over.

  In the level display field 282, the level achieved by the user during the game play is displayed with numbers, and the achievement level is displayed with a gauge as indicated by diagonal lines. The level goes up according to the number of correct answers. In the score display field 284, the score obtained from the start of the game by the user to the present is displayed in numbers.

  The message display field 286 displays a game play mode, a message for the user, and the like.

  In the stuffing question mode, the display screen 240 is provided with a time display field 280 and a message display field 286, and instead of the level display field 282, a field for displaying a question number to be given is provided.

  3A to 3C are diagrams for explaining a cursor operation on the display screen 240 of the game apparatus 100. FIG. In the following, only the arithmetic symbol panel 250, the numeric panel 260, and the arithmetic expression panel 270 are shown on the display screen 240, and other screen displays are omitted.

  The user can move the cursor position on the display screen 240 by operating the direction instruction button 220. In this game, the movable range of the cursor is limited to the squares of the calculation symbol panel 250 and the numeric panel 260. The arithmetic symbol panel 250 has a maximum of 4 rows and 2 columns, and the number panel 260 has a maximum of 4 rows and 9 columns. However, the equal sign “=” in the fourth line of the operation symbol panel 250 is exceptionally assigned as two squares as one. By pressing the direction instruction button 220, the user can move the cursor up, down, left, and right one by one on the square, and bring the cursor to any square. When the direction instruction button 220 is continuously pressed, the cursor continuously moves in the designated direction.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, it is assumed that the cursor is on the square of the numeral “4” (reference numeral 261) on the numeral panel 260. At this time, the number “4” (reference numeral 261) is highlighted, for example, by displaying the grid of the number so as to be three-dimensionally raised so that the user can know that the cursor is at that position. It has become.

  When the user presses the left direction button 220L and moves the cursor four times from the position of the reference numeral 261, the cursor reaches the square of the number “5” at the left end of the number panel 260. In this state, when the left direction button 220L is further pressed, the cursor moves to a square of a division symbol “÷” at the right end of the operation symbol panel 250 on the same line. When the right direction button 220R is pressed while the cursor is on the division symbol “÷” on the operation symbol panel 250, the cursor returns to the square of the number “5” at the left end of the number panel 260 on the same line.

  If the cursor is further moved to the left by the division symbol “÷” on the operation symbol panel 250, the cursor is positioned at the multiplication symbol “×”. When the left direction instruction button 220L is further pressed in this state, the cursor comes to the cell of the number “1” on the right end of the number panel 260 on the same line. When the right direction instruction button 220R is pressed in a state where the cursor is on the number “1” box on the right end of the number panel 260, the cursor returns to the multiplication sign “×” box on the operation symbol panel 250. As described above, the movement of the cursor is controlled on the assumption that the rightmost column of the numeric panel 260 and the leftmost column of the arithmetic symbol panel 250 are connected with respect to the movement of the cursor.

  Similarly, the cursor movement control is performed on the assumption that the lower end line and the upper end line of the arithmetic symbol panel 250 and the numeric panel 260 are connected with respect to the cursor movement. For example, when the cursor is moved down by 2 squares from the position of the numeral “4” indicated by reference numeral 261, the cursor reaches the square of the numeral “9” at the lower end. In this state, the down direction instruction button 220D is further pressed. The cursor moves to the number “5” cell at the top of the same row. Also, when the cursor is on the uppermost number “5” cell and the upward direction button 220U is pressed, the cursor returns to the lowermost number “9” cell. This operation is the same for the operation symbol panel 250.

  FIG. 3B is a diagram for explaining cursor movement when numbers are presented only in a part of the squares of the number panel 260. As shown in the figure, only 12 cells on the number panel 260 are displayed in a state where numbers can be selected, and numbers are not displayed on other cells, or even if they are displayed, they cannot be selected. And Also in the operation symbol panel 250, only four types of operation symbols “+”, “−”, “×”, “÷” can be selected, and the left parenthesis “(”, right parenthesis “)” cannot be selected. . As described above, not all of the grids of the numeric panel 260 and the arithmetic symbol panel 250 are selectable, and only a part of the grids may be selectable.

  In FIG. 3B, when the cursor is at the position of the number “4” indicated by reference numeral 261, when the left direction instruction button 220 </ b> L is pressed, no number is presented in the square immediately to the left of the number “4”. Then, the cell is skipped and the cursor reaches the number “3” indicated by reference numeral 263. When the left direction button 220L is further pressed in this state, since there is no square on which the number is presented on the left side of the number “3”, the cursor is the division symbol “÷” at the right end of the operation symbol panel 250 on the same line. Move to position. Further, when the cursor is at the position of the number “4” indicated by reference numeral 261, if the right direction instruction button 220R is pressed, the number is not presented in the box immediately to the right of the number “4”. The cursor reaches the number “6” indicated by reference numeral 266. If the right direction button 220R is further pressed in this state, there is no square on the right side of the number “6”, so the cursor is positioned at the multiplication symbol “x” at the left end of the operation symbol panel 250. Moving. In this way, a cell on which no number is presented is skipped, and the cursor moves between the calculation symbol panel 250 and the number panel 260.

  FIG. 3C is a diagram illustrating a state in which numbers and calculation symbols are input to the calculation formula panel 270 by a cursor operation. As shown in the figure, it is assumed that numbers are displayed only in the center three columns of the number panel 260. When the cursor is moved in the number panel 260 and the cursor is on any number, when the “○” button 210B is pressed, the number at the cursor position is selected and left-justified in the square of the arithmetic expression panel 270. It is input with. Further, when the cursor is moved in the arithmetic symbol panel 250 and the cursor is on any arithmetic symbol, when the “◯” button 210B is pressed, the arithmetic symbol at the cursor position is selected and the arithmetic expression panel 270 is selected. Left-justified in the box.

  In the figure, first, the numeral “4” (reference numeral 262) is selected from the numeral panel 260 and inputted to the first square (reference numeral 272) of the arithmetic expression panel 270. When the numeral “4” is input to the first square (reference numeral 272) of the arithmetic expression panel 270, the numeral “4” is deleted in the square (reference numeral 262) of the numeric panel 260 where the numeral “4” is present. Or, as indicated by diagonal lines, the square is displayed in a color such as gray, and the square number “4” cannot be selected and input to the arithmetic expression panel 270 again. This is referred to as a “not selectable” state. Although it is possible to move the cursor over a non-selectable number cell, it is not possible to select the number and input it to the arithmetic expression panel 270.

  Next, the addition symbol “+” is selected from the operation symbol panel 250 and is input to the next second cell (reference numeral 273) of the operation expression panel 270. Further, the numeral “1” (symbol 264) is selected from the numeral panel 260 and is input to the third square (symbol 274) of the arithmetic expression panel 270. At this time, the square (symbol 264) of the numeric panel 260 where the numeral “1” was present is displayed in gray as shown by diagonal lines, and the numeric “1” of the square is selected again and input to the arithmetic expression panel 270. Can not.

  4 and 5 are diagrams for explaining game modes. This game has two modes, an endless mode and a stuffing problem mode. In the endless mode, random numbers are presented as candidates, and the game can be played repeatedly within a predetermined time limit regardless of whether the calculation result of the calculation formula created by the user becomes zero. . In the stuffing problem mode, a pattern including a combination of numbers and symbols that can lead to an arithmetic expression that yields an answer of zero is presented, and when the result of the arithmetic expression that is created becomes zero, the process proceeds to the next problem If the result of the created equation does not become zero, the game is over.

  4A to 4E are diagrams for explaining patterns of numbers and arithmetic symbols presented in the endless mode. In the endless mode, as shown in FIG. 4A, first, all the columns of the number panel 260 are used, a total of 36 numbers are presented, and two kinds of four arithmetic operation symbols “+” are displayed on the operation symbol panel 250. , “-” And an equal sign “=” are presented. When this stage is completed, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), only the central 7 columns of the number panel 260 are used, a total of 28 numbers are presented, and the operation symbol panel 250 has three kinds of four arithmetic operation symbols. “+”, “−”, “×” and an equal sign “=” are presented.

  Further, in the next stage, as shown in FIG. 4C, only the central five columns of the number panel 260 are used, a total of 20 numbers are presented, and the operation symbol panel 250 has four types of four arithmetic operation symbols “+”. ”,“ − ”,“ × ”,“ ÷ ”and an equal sign“ = ”.

  Further, in the next stage, as shown in FIG. 4D, only the central three columns of the number panel 260 are used, a total of 12 numbers are presented, and the operation symbol panel 250 has four kinds of four arithmetic operation symbols “+”. ”,“ − ”,“ × ”,“ ÷ ”and an equal sign“ = ”.

  Further, in the next stage, as shown in FIG. 4E, only the central one column of the number panel 260 is used, and a total of four numbers are presented. “+”, “−”, “×”, “÷”, parentheses “(”, “)”, and an equal sign “=” are presented.

  Thus, in the endless mode, as the game stage progresses, the number of numbers presented on the number panel 260 decreases to 36, 28, 20, 12, and 4, so that a mathematical expression with zero calculation results can be created. It becomes difficult gradually. On the other hand, the types of operation symbols presented on the operation symbol panel 250 increase, contrary to the decrease in the number of numbers. When the number of numbers decreases, parentheses “(”, “)” are presented.

  Note that when parentheses are used, an arithmetic expression in which the operation result is zero can be easily created by subtracting the same number in parentheses, such as (9-9) × 5 × 4 = 0. Is presented on the operation symbol panel 250 only when the number of numbers to be presented is extremely small. In addition, parentheses are allowed to be used only once in the created arithmetic expression. Therefore, when parentheses are selected in the arithmetic symbol panel 250 and input to the arithmetic expression panel 270, the parentheses are not selectable in the arithmetic symbol panel 250.

  In the endless mode, when the process starts from FIG. 4A and proceeds to FIG. 4E, the process returns to FIG. 4A again, and the stages from FIG. 4A to FIG. 4E are repeated.

  In the endless mode, in the numeric panel 260, the numeric cells used in the arithmetic expression once become unselectable, and when a predetermined time elapses, new numbers appear. The time until a new number appears changes according to the achievement level of the game, and as an example, the time is controlled so as to decrease as the level achieved by the user increases. For example, a new number appears, such as 25 seconds for level 1, 20 seconds for level 2, 15 seconds for level 3, 10 seconds for level 4, and 5 seconds for level 5 When the time until the time becomes short and becomes level 6, it returns to 25 seconds again, and thereafter, the same control is repeated, such as 20 seconds at level 7.

  In the endless mode, the number 0 may appear in the number panel 260, but an arithmetic expression that makes the answer zero easily can be created by multiplying an arbitrary number by 0 or dividing 0 by an arbitrary number. Therefore, the appearance of the number 0 is limited compared to other numbers. For example, the number 0 appears for the purpose of helping the user only when the remaining time becomes small, or the appearance frequency is limited to once every 50 times.

  FIGS. 5A to 5E are diagrams illustrating patterns of numbers and operation symbols presented in the stuffing problem mode. In the stuffing problem mode, first, as shown in FIG. 5A, four numbers are presented on the number panel 260, and two kinds of operation symbols “+”, “−”, and the like are displayed on the operation symbol panel 250. The issue “=” is presented.

  In the next stage, as shown in FIG. 5B, twelve numbers are presented on the number panel 260, and three kinds of operation symbols “+”, “−”, “×” are displayed on the operation symbol panel 250. The equal sign “=” is presented.

  In the next stage, as shown in FIG. 5C, 20 numbers are presented on the number panel 260, and four kinds of operation symbols “+”, “−”, “×” are displayed on the operation symbol panel 250. , “÷” and an equal sign “=” are presented.

  Further, in the next stage, as shown in FIG. 5D, 28 numbers are presented on the number panel 260, and four kinds of operation symbols “+”, “−”, “×” are displayed on the operation symbol panel 250. , “÷” and an equal sign “=” are presented.

  In the next stage, as shown in FIG. 5E, 36 numbers are presented on the number panel 260, and four kinds of operation symbols “+”, “−”, “×” are displayed on the operation symbol panel 250. , “÷”, parentheses “(”, “)”, and equal sign “=”.

  Thus, in the stuffing problem mode, as the game stage progresses, the number of numbers presented on the number panel 260 increases to 4, 12, 20, 28, 36, and the computation symbols presented on the computation symbol panel 250 The number of types will also increase.

  In the stuffing problem mode, if the answer is incorrect, the game is over and you cannot proceed to the next stage. In the padding problem mode, for example, 100 padding problems are randomly selected. For example, in the game stage where 4 numbers are presented, 5 questions are presented continuously, and then when the game stage is presented where 12 numbers are presented, 20 questions are presented continuously. Subsequently, in the game stage where 20 numbers, 28 numbers, and 36 numbers are presented, 25 questions are given consecutively for a total of 100 questions.

  In the stuffing question mode, an arithmetic expression in which the answer is zero is generated in advance for any of the questions to be presented, and numerical candidates and arithmetic symbols including at least combinations of numbers and arithmetic symbols in the arithmetic expressions are displayed on the numeric panel 260. Presented in the operation symbol panel 250. This guarantees that it is possible to create a mathematical expression with zero answer.

  In the endless mode, numbers are randomly displayed on the number panel 260, so that there is no guarantee that an arithmetic expression with an answer of zero can be generated. In the endless mode, the user inputs the equal sign “=” at any stage or presses the “Δ” button 210A to end the generation of the arithmetic expression and check whether the arithmetic result is zero. Regardless, you can finish that stage and proceed to the next stage. The user can intentionally end the currently playing stage in relation to the time limit of the game, and proceed to the next stage with an incorrect answer, so it is always guaranteed that a formula that becomes zero can be made. There is no need. On the other hand, in the stuffing problem mode, if you do not make a mathematical expression that makes the answer zero, you cannot proceed to the next problem, so it is necessary to guarantee that you can make a mathematical expression that makes the answer zero in the game development.

  In the stuffing problem mode, the game device 100 generates a combination of numbers randomly, and performs a full search for a combination of the four arithmetic operation symbols “+”, “−”, “×”, “÷” and parentheses “()”. By doing so, we will create an arithmetic expression that makes the answer zero. As a result, a new filling problem always occurs, so that the user does not get bored even when playing repeatedly. As another method, an arithmetic expression in which the answer is zero may be prepared as a table, and the game apparatus 100 may present a stuffing problem with reference to the table.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating the internal configuration of the game apparatus 100. The game apparatus 100 includes an arithmetic processing unit 10, a RAM 20, an input / output control unit 30, a drive device 40, a display control unit 50, an audio control unit 60, and a timer control unit 70 as internal configurations. Are electrically connected by a signal transmission line.

  The drive device 40 is a device for connecting a computer-readable recording medium 42 such as an optical disk on which a game program is recorded. When the recording medium 42 is inserted into the drive device 40, the program is read out to the RAM 20 or the like via the input / output control unit 30. The input / output control unit 30 may be provided with a memory interface for connecting a storage medium such as a flash memory so that data can be read from and written to the storage medium.

  In addition, the input / output control unit 30 sends to the arithmetic processing unit 10 an instruction signal input by the user operating the determination instruction button 210, the direction instruction button 220, and the left / right button 230.

  The display control unit 50 performs control for displaying the image data of the game screen on the display screen 240. The sound control unit 60 performs control for outputting sound such as sound for notifying various events of the game, sound for warning when a user operation has an error, background music of the game, and the like to the speaker 90. The functions of the display control unit 50 and the audio control unit 60 are realized by a CPU or other hardware.

  The RAM 20 stores a game program and temporarily stores temporary data used by the arithmetic processing unit 10 during execution of the program. The RAM 20 also stores a score table 22 that stores various score evaluation criteria for determining the score of an arithmetic expression created by the user, and score data 24 that stores the score and level achieved by the user, game play time, and the like. Ranking data 26 in which the user's score, level, and game play time are arranged and stored in order of high score is stored.

  The arithmetic processing unit 10 executes the game program read to the RAM 20 and performs various arithmetic processes and control processes related to the game program. The arithmetic processing unit 10 may be realized by general-purpose hardware such as a CPU, or may be realized by dedicated hardware.

  The arithmetic processing unit 10 includes a mode control unit 11, a panel control unit 12, a prohibition processing unit 14, an arithmetic expression verification unit 16, and a score evaluation unit 18. The mode control unit 11 switches the game mode and controls the mode-specific operation according to the game mode. The panel control unit 12 presents numbers and calculation symbols on the calculation symbol panel 250, the number panel 260, and the calculation formula panel 270 displayed on the display screen 240, movement of the cursor in the calculation symbol panel 250 and the number panel 260, etc. The operation in these display panels is controlled.

  The prohibition processing unit 14 performs processing for operations that should be prohibited in the game rules. In particular, the prohibition processing unit 14 refuses to accept an operation that should be prohibited among the operations in the display panels of the arithmetic symbol panel 250, the numeric panel 260, and the arithmetic expression panel 270, and warns the sound control unit 60 of a warning sound. The process of instructing the output of is performed.

  When the input / output control unit 30 receives an instruction from the user to finish creating the arithmetic expression on the arithmetic expression panel 270, the arithmetic expression verifying unit 16 calculates the arithmetic expression formed on the arithmetic expression panel 270, and the arithmetic result is Verify if it is zero.

  An instruction to end the creation of an arithmetic expression on the arithmetic expression panel 270 is made when the user selects the equal sign “=” on the arithmetic symbol panel 250 and inputs it to the arithmetic expression panel 270, or presses the “Δ” button 210A. It is also made by. The arithmetic expression verification unit 16 calculates the calculation result of the generated arithmetic expression when the input / output control unit 30 receives the input of the equal sign “=” or “Δ” button 210A. However, in the state where the correct arithmetic expression is not formed on the arithmetic expression panel 270, when the “△” button 210A is pressed to instruct the end of creation of the arithmetic expression, the prohibition processing unit 14 invalidates the end instruction.

  When the arithmetic expression created by the user is a correct answer, the score evaluation unit 18 evaluates the score for the arithmetic expression and adds it to the score acquired so far. The score evaluation unit 18 sets the current score to zero when the arithmetic expression created by the user is incorrect.

  The score evaluation unit 18 uses the score table 22 stored in the RAM 20 to calculate the score of the arithmetic expression created by the user. The score evaluation unit 18 updates the total score stored in the score data 24 by reading the score acquired by the user from the score data 24 of the RAM 20 so far, and adding the score of the current arithmetic expression. The display control unit 50 displays the total score in the score display field 284 of the display screen 240. At the end of the game, the score evaluation unit 18 records the total score, level, and game play time information acquired by the user in the RAM 20 as ranking data 26 in the order of high score.

  The timer control unit 70 manages the time limit for game play and subtracts a remaining time counter 72 indicating the remaining time at regular time intervals. When the arithmetic expression is incorrect, the arithmetic expression verifying unit 16 notifies the timer control unit 70 to reduce the remaining time counter 72 by a predetermined amount as a penalty. In addition, when the arithmetic expression is correct, the arithmetic expression verifying unit 16 notifies the timer control section 70 to increase the remaining time counter 72 by a predetermined amount as a bonus. In response to the notification from the arithmetic expression verification unit 16, the timer control unit 70 increases or decreases the remaining time counter 72.

  A game play procedure by the game apparatus 100 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, the numeric panel 260 presents 12 one-digit candidate numbers in three central columns, and the arithmetic symbol panel 250 has three types of arithmetic symbols “+”, “−”. "," X ", and the equal sign" = "only. It is assumed that the user moves the cursor to the position of the number “5” (reference numeral 265) on the number panel 260 and presses the “◯” button 210B at that position. As a result, as shown in FIG. 7B, the numeral “5” is input to the first square (reference numeral 275) of the arithmetic expression panel 270, and the square (reference numeral) of the numeric panel 260 where the numeral “5” is present. 265) changes to an unselectable state.

  In FIG. 7A, when the numeral “5” (symbol 265) is selected from the numeral panel 260 and is input to the numeral panel 260, the panel control unit 12 moves the cursor in the numeral panel 260 to the operation symbol panel 250. Control to move in. That is, the panel control unit 12 automatically moves the cursor in the number panel 260 to the position of the addition symbol “+” at the upper left end of the arithmetic symbol panel 250 as shown in FIG. The position of the addition symbol “+” is a default position when the cursor is automatically moved in the operation symbol panel 250.

  In order to create the four arithmetic expressions, after inputting a number, the user next inputs an operation symbol. At this point, the cursor is automatically in the operation symbol panel 250, so the user can input a number. There is no need to manually move the cursor from the panel 260 to the operation symbol panel 250, and the operability is improved.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 7C, the user moves the cursor in the operation symbol panel 250 to make the subtraction symbol “−” selectable, and presses the “◯” button 210 </ b> B. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 8A, the subtraction symbol “−” is input to the second square (reference numeral 276) of the arithmetic expression panel 270. At this time, the panel control unit 12 moves the cursor in the arithmetic symbol panel 250 to the position where the cursor was previously in the numeric panel 260, that is, the numeral “5” (reference numeral 265) that has become unselectable now. Control to move automatically. This eliminates the need for the user to manually move the cursor to the numeric panel 260 after inputting the arithmetic symbols.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 8B, the user moves the cursor within the number panel 260, makes another number “5” (reference numeral 267) selectable, and presses the “◯” button 210B. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8C, the numeral “5” is input to the third square (reference numeral 277) of the arithmetic expression panel 270, and the square (260) of the numeric panel 260 where the numeral “5” is present. Reference numeral 267) changes to a non-selectable state. At this time, the cursor is moved into the arithmetic symbol panel 250 by the cursor control of the panel control unit 12.

  As shown in FIG. 9A, the user moves the cursor within the operation symbol panel 250, makes the equal sign “=” selectable, and presses the “◯” button 210B. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9B, the equal sign “=” is input to the fourth and fifth two cells (reference numeral 278) of the arithmetic expression panel 270.

  When the equal sign “=” is input to the arithmetic expression panel 270, the arithmetic expression verifying unit 16 calculates the arithmetic expression formed in the arithmetic expression panel 270 and verifies whether the arithmetic result is zero or not. When the calculation result is zero, as shown in FIG. 9C, the equal sign “=” is displayed in the first square in the two squares occupied by the equal sign “=”, and zero is set to 2 A grid is displayed (reference numeral 279). If the created arithmetic expression is correct, then a new number combination appears on the number panel 260 and game play continues.

  If the calculation result does not become zero, that is, it is an incorrect answer, an incorrect answer may be obtained by displaying, for example, that the numbers and calculation symbols in the squares of the calculation symbol panel 250, the numeric panel 260, and the calculation formula panel 270 are scattered. It is directed to be. In the endless mode, even if the answer is incorrect, the next new combination of numbers appears on the number panel 260 and the game play continues. In the stuffing problem mode, if the answer is incorrect, the game is over at that time.

  FIGS. 10A to 10D are diagrams for explaining a procedure of prohibition processing by the prohibition processing unit 14. As shown in FIG. 10A, the first to third squares (reference numerals 272, 273, 274) of the arithmetic expression panel 270 are already in the order of “4”, “+”, “1”. It is assumed that numbers and operation symbols are input and the numbers “4” and “1” (reference numerals 262 and 264) on the number panel 260 are not selectable.

  Assume that the user moves the cursor to the number “5” (reference numeral 268) on the number panel 260 and presses the “◯” button 210B after inputting the number “1” on the arithmetic expression panel 270. At this time, the prohibition processing unit 14 invalidates the instruction to input the number “5” to the arithmetic expression panel 270. If two or more single-digit numbers are arranged in succession on the square of the calculation formula panel 270, it will not be a four-digit calculation formula based on single-digit numbers, so the creation of such a formula is prohibited from the beginning. As described above, the prohibition processing unit 14 performs a prohibition process for invalidating the second and subsequent numeric input instructions when the numeric input instruction is continuously performed on the numeric panel 260.

  As shown in FIG. 10B, the first to fourth squares (reference numerals 272, 273, 274, 290) of the arithmetic expression panel 270 are already “4”, “+”, “1”. , “−” In the order of numbers and operation symbols, the numbers “4” and “1” (reference numerals 262 and 264) on the number panel 260 are not selectable. In this state, it is assumed that the user moves the cursor to the multiplication symbol “×” (reference numeral 251) on the operation symbol panel 250 and presses the “◯” button 210B. At this time, the prohibition processing unit 14 invalidates the input instruction of the multiplication symbol “×” to the arithmetic expression panel 270. If two or more four arithmetic operation symbols are arranged in succession on the square of the arithmetic expression panel 270, it will not become an arithmetic operation expression, and therefore such an expression is prohibited from the beginning.

  In addition, as another prohibition process, it is also prohibited to input a left parenthesis “(” after inputting a number and input a number after inputting a right parenthesis “)”.

  On the other hand, it is not prohibited to input the left parenthesis “(” after the input of the arithmetic operation symbols.As shown in FIG. 10 (c), the first to fourth squares of the arithmetic expression panel 270 are not allowed. (Reference numerals 272, 273, 274, and 290) are already input with numbers and arithmetic symbols in the order of “4”, “+”, “1”, “−”. When the cursor is moved to the left parenthesis “(” (reference numeral 252) and the “◯” button 210B is pressed, the left parenthesis “(” is input to the fifth square (reference numeral 291) of the arithmetic expression panel 270. In creating the arithmetic expression, there is no problem in that the subtraction symbol “-” (symbol 290) and the left parenthesis “(” (symbol 291) are continuously input.

  Also, it is not prohibited to input an arithmetic symbol after inputting the right parenthesis “)”. As shown in FIG. 10D, it is assumed that “4 + 1− (6 + 4)” is input to the arithmetic expression panel 270. At this time, when the cursor is placed on the division symbol “÷” (reference numeral 253) on the arithmetic symbol panel 250 and the “◯” button 210B is pressed, the division symbol “÷” is input to the arithmetic expression panel 270 (reference numeral 293). . In creating the arithmetic expression, there is no problem in that the right parenthesis “)” (symbol 292) and the division symbol “÷” (symbol 293) are continuously input.

  In this way, the left parenthesis “(”, right parenthesis “)” is exceptionally allowed to be continuous with the four arithmetic symbols, but the four arithmetic symbols “+”, “−”, “×”, “÷” Is not allowed to be input twice or more consecutively. The prohibition processing unit 14 treats the left parenthesis “(”, right parenthesis “)” as an exception to the prohibition processing. Don't consider it as input, just ignore it.

  The panel control unit 12 automatically moves the cursor alternately between the arithmetic symbol panel 250 and the numeric panel 260 every time a numerical value or arithmetic symbol is input, while the user performs a numerical operation after the automatic cursor control. It is also possible to manually move the cursor between the panel 260 and the operation symbol panel 250. This is because in order to use parentheses, it is necessary to continuously input parentheses and four arithmetic symbols, and the cursor must be moved between the numeric panels 260 in a manner contrary to automatic cursor movement control. .

  Therefore, the panel control unit 12 merely moves the cursor alternately between the operation symbol panel 250 and the number panel 260 for each input, and does not force input on the destination panel. Note that the user uses the left button 230L and the right button 230R to manually move the cursor between the numeric panel 260 and the arithmetic symbol panel 250. When the left button 230L is pressed, the cursor moves to the calculation symbol panel 250, and when the right button 230R is pressed, the cursor moves to the number panel 260. Thus, the user can move the cursor between the arithmetic symbol panel 250 and the numeric panel 260 with a single operation, and the operability is improved.

  FIGS. 11A to 11D are diagrams for explaining the procedure of a cancel process for a number or an arithmetic symbol input to the arithmetic expression panel 270. FIG. As shown in FIG. 11 (a), numbers and operations are performed in the order of “4”, “+”, “1” in the first to third squares (reference numerals 272, 273, 274) of the arithmetic expression panel 270. It is assumed that a symbol has been input and the numbers “4” and “1” (reference numerals 262 and 264) on the number panel 260 are not selectable. When the “x” button 210 </ b> C is pressed in this state, the input is canceled in order from the number or calculation symbol last input to the calculation formula panel 270.

  When the user presses the “x” button 210C in the state of FIG. 11A, the panel control unit 12 assumes that there is an instruction to cancel the last input number “1”. As shown in b), the number “1” is deleted from the third box of the arithmetic expression panel 270, and the number “1” is presented again in the box (reference numeral 264) where the number “1” was present on the number panel 260. To do. At this time, the panel control unit 12 automatically moves the cursor to the re-presented square “1” (reference numeral 264).

  Further, in the state of FIG. 11B, when the user presses the “×” button 210 </ b> C, the panel control unit 12 cancels the addition symbol “+” in the second square of the arithmetic expression panel 270. Assuming that there is an instruction, the addition symbol “+” is deleted from the second square of the arithmetic expression panel 270 as shown in FIG. At this time, the panel control unit 12 moves the cursor to the addition symbol “+” cell (reference numeral 254) of the operation symbol panel 250.

  Further, in the state of FIG. 11C, when the user presses the “×” button 210 </ b> C, the panel control unit 12 issues a cancel instruction to the number “4” in the first square of the arithmetic expression panel 270. As shown in FIG. 11D, the number “4” is deleted from the first square of the arithmetic expression panel 270, and the square where the number “4” is present on the number panel 260 (reference numeral 262). ), The number “4” is presented again. At this time, the panel control unit 12 moves the cursor to the re-presented square “4” (reference numeral 262).

  As described above, the user can cancel the numbers or the calculation symbols in the reverse order of the input order by pressing the “×” button 210 </ b> C with respect to the calculation formula formed on the calculation formula panel 270. However, there is a time constraint on the cancellation of numbers. When a number is input to the arithmetic expression panel 270, the square on the number panel 260 becomes a non-selectable state, but when a predetermined time elapses after the non-selectable state, in the endless mode, Another new number is presented on the square. Once a new number is presented to a cell that is in a non-selectable state and becomes selectable, the panel control unit 12 changes the number already input to the arithmetic expression panel 270 to the cell in the selectable state. It is prohibited to return.

  FIGS. 12A to 12C are diagrams for explaining the procedure of the cancel prohibition process for the numbers input to the arithmetic expression panel 270. FIG. In the endless mode, as shown in FIG. 12A, the first to third squares (reference numerals 272, 273, 274) of the arithmetic expression panel 270 are placed in the order of “4”, “+”, “1”. After the number and the operation symbol are input, the square (reference numeral 264) having the numeral “1” in the numeric panel 260 is not yet selectable, but the square (numeral 262) having the numeral “4” is not selected. Since the predetermined time has elapsed, it is assumed that the number “8” is newly presented.

  In the state of FIG. 12A, when the user presses the “x” button 210C to instruct cancellation, the number “1” returns to the original square (reference numeral 264) of the number panel 260 as shown in FIG. . Next, in the state of FIG. 12B, when the user presses the “x” button 210C to instruct cancellation, the addition symbol “+” is deleted from the arithmetic expression panel 270 as shown in FIG. Up to this point, the process is the same as FIGS.

  Further, in the state of FIG. 12C, when the user presses the “x” button 210C to instruct cancellation, another number is already presented in the square (reference numeral 262) of the number panel 260 where the number “4” was present. Therefore, the panel control unit 12 invalidates the cancel instruction for the number “4” in the first square (272) of the arithmetic expression panel 270. Similarly, when the same number “4” happens to be displayed on the square of the number panel 260 where the number “4” is present, the cancel instruction is similarly invalidated.

  In the endless mode, the time until a new number is presented on the number cell used in the arithmetic expression on the number panel 260 changes according to the achievement level of the game. Therefore, the time during which cancellation for the numbers used in the arithmetic expression is allowed also changes according to the achievement level of the game.

  It should be noted that there is no time restriction for canceling the arithmetic symbols, and the arithmetic symbols input to the arithmetic expression panel 270 can be canceled at any time.

  Next, a procedure for evaluating the score of the game by the score evaluation unit 18 will be described.

  FIGS. 13A to 13C are diagrams for explaining a score table and a magnification table stored in the score table 22. FIG. 13A shows a score table 22 a that is determined according to the numbers included in the arithmetic expression formed on the arithmetic expression panel 270. The scores of the numbers 0 to 9 are 0 point, 10 points, 20 points, 30 points, 40 points, 50 points, 60 points, 70 points, 80 points, and 90 points, respectively. The score evaluation unit 18 evaluates scores for all the numbers included in the arithmetic expression based on the score table.

  FIG. 13B shows a score table 22b determined according to the length of the arithmetic expression formed on the arithmetic expression panel 270. The length of the arithmetic expression is the total number of cells in which numbers or operation symbols are input, and a cell in which the equal sign “=” is input is counted as one cell. At least 4 squares are required. When the length of the expression is 4, it is 0 points, when it is 5, it is 100 points, when it is 6, it is 200 points, when it is 7, it is 400 points, and when it is 8, it is 600 points , 9 is 800 points, 10 is 1000 points, 11 is 1200 points, and 12 is 1400 points.

  FIG. 13C shows a score magnification table 22c according to the type of arithmetic symbol used in the arithmetic expression formed on the arithmetic expression panel 270. FIG. When the number of symbols used is one, it is 1 time, when it is 2 types, it is 1.5 times, when it is 3 types, it is 2 times, when it is 4 types, it is 2.5 times, when it is 5 types, it is 3 times is there.

  The score table and the magnification table of FIGS. 13A to 13C are stored as a score table 22 in the RAM 20.

  The score evaluation unit 18 refers to the score table 22a in FIG. 13A and obtains a total score for all the numbers included in the arithmetic expression created by the user. Next, the score evaluation unit 18 refers to the score table 22b of FIG. 13B, obtains a score based on the length of the arithmetic expression, and adds it to the total score of numbers. Finally, the score evaluation unit 18 refers to the magnification table 22c in FIG. 13C, and multiplies the total score by a magnification according to the type of the arithmetic symbol included in the arithmetic expression.

The score calculation formula by the score evaluation unit 18 is as follows.
Score of arithmetic expression = {(total score of used numbers) + (score based on length of arithmetic expression)} × (magnification by type of arithmetic symbol)

  As another calculation method of the score of the arithmetic expression, the score evaluation unit 18 calculates the arithmetic expression in order from left to right, and the calculation result up to the middle is in a positive or negative direction with respect to zero. You may evaluate so that it may become a high score, so that the swing width is large. The farther the calculation result up to the middle of the arithmetic expression is from zero, the more difficult it is to make the final arithmetic result of the arithmetic expression zero. Therefore, the score evaluation unit 18 calculates the maximum value of the absolute value of the calculation result up to the middle while calculating the calculation formulas sequentially from left to right, and the higher the maximum value, the higher the score. Evaluate with. For example, in the case of an arithmetic expression of 3 + 4 × 5 + 5-4 × 7 = 0, the maximum value 28 is obtained in the calculation up to 3 + 4 × 5 + 5, and the score is evaluated with this maximum value.

  The score evaluation unit 18 records the score obtained by the user in the score data 24 together with the level achieved by the user and the game play time. Also, the score evaluation unit 18 compares the score of the previous high score recorded in the ranking data 26 with the score of the current game play at the end of the game, and updates the ranking data 26 as appropriate. When the ranking display menu is selected in the initial menu of the game, the ranking data 26 is referred to, and the scores are displayed in a list in order of high score. At this time, if there are two or more scores of the same score, the higher level is displayed at the top. If there are two or more scores with the same score and the same level, the shorter game play time is displayed at the top.

  Thus, in the endless mode, the ranking is displayed in the order of the scores, but in the stuffing question mode, the ranking is displayed in the order of the number of correctly answered questions, and when the number of correctly answered questions is the same, the game play time is short. Is displayed at the top.

  The score evaluation unit 18 also records the game play level in the score data 24. The level increases one by one in order from 0 corresponding to the number of correct answers. As an example, every 12 correct answers will go up one level. In the endless mode, for example, game play is possible until a maximum of 99 levels is reached.

  The panel control unit 12 may perform control so that the types of operation symbols that can be used in the operation symbol panel 250 are changed according to the level. For example, at level 1, two types of “+” and “−”, at level 2, three types of “+”, “−”, “x”, and at levels 3 and 4, “+”, “−”, “x” , “÷”, and level 5 restricts the use to six types of operation symbols “+”, “−”, “×”, “÷”, “(”, “)”. At level 6, the control returns to “+” and “−” again, and thereafter, at level 7, the same control is repeated such as “+”, “−”, and “x”.

  Next, control of the time limit by the timer control unit 70 will be described. The time limit for one play is, for example, 3 minutes, which is constant regardless of the number of numbers presented on the number panel 260. The remaining time is displayed by gradually reducing the gauge in the time display field 280 of the display screen 240.

  If the arithmetic expression verification unit 16 determines that the calculation result of the arithmetic expression is not zero, the timer control unit 70 decreases the remaining time counter 72 by a predetermined time as a penalty. This penalty increases as the total number of numbers or operation symbols input to the operation formula panel 270 increases. Here, the equal sign “=” input to the arithmetic expression panel 270 is not included in the number. For example, the penalty is minus 5 seconds when the number of inputs to the arithmetic panel 270 is 3, minus 10 seconds when the number of inputs is 5 or 6, and minus 15 seconds when the number of inputs is 7 or 8. When the number of inputs is 9 or 10, minus 20 seconds, and when the number of inputs is 11 or 12, minus 25 seconds. Thus, the longer the created arithmetic expression, the greater the penalty when the calculation result of the arithmetic expression is not zero.

  When the arithmetic expression verification unit 16 determines that the calculation result of the arithmetic expression is zero, the timer control unit 70 increases the remaining time counter 72 by a predetermined time and recovers the remaining time. The recovery time increases as the total number of numbers or calculation symbols input to the calculation formula panel 270 increases. Here, the equal sign “=” input to the arithmetic expression panel 270 is not included in the number. For example, the recovery time is 5 seconds when the number of inputs to the arithmetic panel 270 is 3, 10 seconds when the number of inputs is 5 or 6, 15 seconds when the number of inputs is 7 or 8, When the number of inputs is 9 or 10, it is 20 seconds, and when the number of inputs is 11 or 12, it is 25 seconds. Thus, the longer the created arithmetic expression is, the longer the recovery time is when the calculation result of the arithmetic expression is zero.

  If the timer control unit 70 finds that the remaining time is less than 1 minute, the display control unit 50 changes the time gauge color of the time display field 280, or the audio control unit 60 changes the background music to be careful of the user. Prompt.

  When the timer control unit 70 determines that the remaining time becomes zero, the game is over, and the display control unit 50 displays a screen notifying that the game is over.

  As described above, according to game device 100 of the present embodiment, each time a number or an operation symbol is input, a number panel is provided so that numbers and operation symbols can be alternately input to create four arithmetic expressions. Control for automatically moving the cursor between 260 and the operation symbol panel 250 is performed. For this reason, a user's operativity improves and the sustainability of a game play can be maintained. In addition, by repeating the creation of mathematical formulas that have zero answers, the user can also expect the effect of learning patterns that result in zero answers, so that the user's interest in the game can be raised and the sustainability of the game play can be increased. .

  The present invention has been described based on the embodiments. The embodiments are exemplifications, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to combinations of the respective constituent elements and processing processes, and such modifications are within the scope of the present invention. . Such a modification will be described.

  In the above description, the correct answer is obtained when the calculation result of the arithmetic expression created by the user is zero, but a value other than zero may be set as the correct answer. The correct answer may always be fixed at the same value in the game play, or the correct answer may be changed during the game play.

  In the above description, four arithmetic expressions that combine single-digit numbers and operation symbols have been created. However, it is allowed to select two or more consecutive single-digit numbers in the number panel and input them to the expression panel. You may comprise so that the number of two or more digits can be formed in an arithmetic expression panel. In this case, it is possible to create an arithmetic expression using two or more digits and an operation symbol. Moreover, you may comprise so that a 2 or more-digit number may be shown to 1 square of a number panel.
