For example, if a correct answer is given to a quiz of a certain genre, for example, 1 point is acquired as a genre point, and if it is incorrect, for example, 1 point is subtracted from the genre point. The points earned or subtracted differ depending on the difficulty level of the quiz.

  The genre level for each genre is determined based on the genre points for each quiz genre.

  After the end of the quiz battle game, based on the genre points for each player's genre, the player's best genre and weak genre are determined as follows.

The specialty genre is determined as follows.
(1) At the end of play, the genre with the highest genre point among the 8 genres becomes the good genre. However, at least one point is required.
(2) When a good genre has not been determined and when a plurality of genres have the same genre point at the end of play, the good genre is determined by random lottery.
(3) When the good genre has already been determined, even if the genre points of the second and subsequent genres are the same as the genre points of the good genre at the end of play, the good genre is not changed.
(4) When a good genre has already been determined and the number of genre points of the second and subsequent genres is greater than and equal to the genre points of the good genre at the end of play, A good genre is determined by random lottery.

The weak genre is determined as follows.
(1) If the number of questions does not exceed 100 questions, the weak genre is not determined.
(2) At the end of play, the genre having the lowest genre point among the 8 genres becomes the weak genre.
(3) If a poor genre is not determined and a plurality of genres have the same genre point at the end of play, the weak genre is determined by random lottery.
(4) If the weak genre has already been determined, the poor genre is not changed even if the number of genre points of the poor genre becomes the same as the number of genre points of the seventh genre at the end of play.
(5) When the weak genre has already been determined and the genre point of the poor genre is 6th or more at the end of play, and the genre points of a plurality of genres below it are the same, Among them, genres that are not good at are determined by random drawing.

  FIG. 8 is a table showing genre points of each genre for members A, B, and C belonging to a certain team as a specific example.

  Member A, Member B, and Member C are good genres and weak genres as follows.

  Since member A has the highest sports genre point at “76”, “sport” is a good genre. On the other hand, since the genre point of natural science is the lowest at “24”, “natural science” is a weak genre.

  Since member B has the same number of genre points for all genres from sports to hobby trivia as “200”, “natural science” determined by random lottery is a good genre. On the other hand, since there is no genre of 2nd or lower, there is no weak genre.

  Since member C has a maximum genre point of sports of “580”, “sport” is a good genre. On the other hand, since the genre point of hobby trivia is the lowest at “301”, “hobby trivia” is the weak genre.

  The good genre and weak genre of each player determined in this way are stored as the good genre ID and weak genre ID in the members card data table 105 shown in FIG. 4 and the player data tables 135 and 145 shown in FIG. .

  Note that the above-described determination method is an example, and the genre of strength and weak genre may be determined by a method different from this.

(Genre correction by team)
As described above, the game system according to the present embodiment is configured such that a team can be formed by players as a plurality of users.

  In the game system according to the present embodiment, a genre level of a specific genre in the form of assistance from other members participating in the team in order to produce a sense of cooperation and merit in the team by participating in the team To correct.

  By participating in the team, the weak genre or the good genre can be corrected according to the results of other team members.

  When the genre level of one of the other team members is high, the genre level of a certain player is corrected according to the high genre level. If one player with a high genre level is participating in the team, the level of the other player is corrected.

  Further, the average value of each genre level is taken for all the other team members, and the genre level of a certain player is corrected based on the average value. When joining a team with many players with high genre levels, the level of players with low genre levels is corrected.

  For example, by correcting and displaying the level of the weak genre by one level, it is possible to suppress the weak genre level from being selected by the opponent by camouflaging the level of the poor genre.

  In addition, by correcting and displaying the level of the specialty genre by one level, it is possible to play against an upper person than himself.

  Note that the correction method described above is an example, and the genre level may be corrected based on the results of other team members by a different method.

  For example, in the correction method described above, the genre to be corrected is limited to a good genre or a weak genre, but is not limited to a good genre or a weak genre, and is corrected by referring to the results of other team members for all genres. If there is a genre that can be used, correction may be performed such that all or selectively increase the level by one.

  In the correction method described above, the genre correction is increased by one level. However, depending on the results of other team members, the genre correction may be increased by more than one level, for example, by two levels.

  Further, in the correction method described above, the genre correction is correction in the direction of raising the level, but depending on the results of other team members, correction in the direction of lowering the level may be possible.

(How to determine the genre to be corrected)
A method for determining a correction target genre in the game system of the present embodiment will be described.

  The correction target genre is a genre that may be corrected based on the results of other team members. For example, one of the player's “good genre” and “bad genre” is determined as the correction target genre.

  The correction candidate genre is a genre that can be a correction target genre. The correction target genre is determined during the correction target genre determination process. Finally, one of the correction candidate genres becomes the correction target genre.

The correction target genre of a player is determined as follows by referring to the determination state of the player's “good genre” and “bad genre” and the genre points of other players of the team to which the player belongs.
(1) In order to be a correction target genre of a certain player, a team member having a higher genre point than that player needs to exist in the team regardless of whether it is a “special genre” or “bad genre”. is there.
(2) When the level of a player's specialty genre is the maximum, the “special genre” is not the correction target genre, and the “bad genre” is the correction target genre.
(3) When the genre level of a certain player's “bad genre” and “good genre” is the same, “good genre” is the correction target genre. This is to prevent the “bad genre” from being corrected and the level higher than the “special genre”.
(4) When the “bad genre” of a certain player has not been determined, the genre having the smallest genre point is set as a correction target genre.

  When there are a plurality of genres having the same minimum genre point, the genre points of the team members are compared, and the genre in which the team member having the highest genre point exists is set as the correction target genre. Even in that case, when there are a plurality of genres having the same genre point, a genre having a lower genre ID is prioritized.

The genre ID is determined in the order of natural science genre, language / literature genre, history / geography / social genre, entertainment genre, cartoon / anime / game genre, fashion / gourmet genre, hobby / miscellaneous genre. .
(5) When a “special genre” of a player is not determined, the genre having the largest genre point is set as the correction target genre.

When there are a plurality of genres with the same maximum genre point, the genre points of the team members are compared, and the genre in which the team member with the highest genre point exists is set as the correction target genre. Even in that case, when there are a plurality of genres having the same genre point, a genre having a lower genre ID is prioritized.
(6) When the level of the “bad genre” of a player is the maximum, the “bad genre” is not a correction target genre.
(7) If there is no genre that satisfies the above conditions, no correction target genre is determined.

  In the specific example shown in FIG. 8, the correction target genres for members A, B, and C belonging to a certain team are as follows.

  Member A is a good genre of “Sports” and “Natural Science” is a poor genre, but there are team members (Members B and C) with higher genre points than Member A in both genres. Both the good genre “Sports” and the weak genre “Natural Sciences” are correction candidate genres. Among the correction candidate genres, “natural science” having a young genre ID is a correction target genre.

  For member B, all genre points are 200 (level 7), so the genre that is good is the genre to be corrected. “Natural science” with a young genre ID is the correction target genre.

  Since member C has the highest level of “sports” in his favorite genre, the weak genre is the correction target genre, but the team member who is higher than member C has a genre point of “hobbies / miscellaneous studies” which is a weak genre. Since it does not exist, the correction target genre is not determined.

  The correction target genre of each player determined in this way is stored as the correction target genre ID in the member card data table 105 shown in FIG. 4 or the player data tables 135 and 145 shown in FIG.

  The determination method described above is an example, and the correction target genre may be determined by a method different from this.

A specific example of correction target genre determination processing in the game system of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 9 and 10.

  This correction target genre determination process is executed for all players by referring to the player data table 135 and the team data table 160 in the server 30 at a fixed time such as 4 am every day, for example, to update the data. To do.

  In addition, when the battle game is matched, the server 30 may execute the correction target genre determination process and update the data for each player who competes.

  First, as shown in FIG. 9, it is determined whether or not a good genre has been determined for a player that performs a correction target genre determination process (step S01).

  If it is determined that the good genre has been determined, it is determined whether the level of the good genre is MAX (maximum) (step S02).

  If it is determined that the level of the good genre is not MAX (maximum), it is determined whether or not a member in the team has a person whose genre point of the good genre is higher than that of the user (step S03).

  If it is determined that there is a team member whose genre point is higher than his / her own genre, that good genre is added to the correction candidate genre (step S04).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the level of the good genre and the weak genre are the same (step S05). If the level is the same, the selection of the correction candidate genre is terminated, and the process proceeds to step S12.

  If it is determined in step S02 described above that the level of the good genre is MAX, it is determined whether or not the weak genre has been determined (step S06).

  If it is determined that the weak genre has been determined, it is determined whether or not the level of the weak genre is MAX (step S07).

  If it is determined that the level of the weak genre is MAX, it is processed as no correction candidate genre (step S08).

  If it is determined in step S01 that the good genre has not been determined, the process moves to a narrowing process (step S09) when the weak genre is not yet determined.

  If it is determined in step S06 that the weak genre has not been determined, the process moves to a narrowing process (step S09) when the weak genre is not yet determined.

  Next, the narrowing-down process (step S09) when the weak genre has not been determined will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, genre points of one's eight genres are compared (step S21).

  Next, it is determined whether or not there are a plurality of minimum genre points (step S22).

  If it is determined that there are not a plurality of genre points, the genre of the lowest genre point is selected (step S23).

  If it is determined that there are a plurality of genre points, the plurality of genres having the lowest genre points are left (step S25).

  Subsequently, among the plurality of remaining genres, only the genres in which there are team members other than yourself and members whose genre points are higher than themselves remain (step S26). This is to delete weak genres that cannot be correction candidate genres.

  Next, a random lottery is selected among the remaining plurality of genres to select one genre (step S27).

  One genre selected in step S23 or one genre selected by random lottery in step S24 is determined as a weak genre (step S24).

  In this way, the narrowing-down process (step S09) when the weak genre is undecided is terminated, and the process returns to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S09, when the narrowing down process for weak genres is completed, the process moves to step S10.

  If it is determined in step S07 that the level of the weak genre is not MAX, the process moves to step S10.

  If it is determined in step S05 that the level of the good genre and the weak genre are not the same, the process moves to step S10.

  Next, in step S10, it is determined whether or not a member in the team has a genre point of the selected weak genre higher than himself.

  If it is determined that there is a team member whose genre point of weak genre is higher than that of itself, the poor genre is added to the correction candidate genre (step S11), and the process proceeds to step S12.

  If it is determined in step S05 that the level of the good genre and the weak genre are the same, the process moves to step S12.

  Next, in step S12, it is determined whether there is a correction candidate genre (step S12). If it is determined that there is no correction candidate genre, it is processed as no correction candidate genre (step S13).

  If it is determined that there are correction candidate genres, it is determined whether there are two correction candidate genres (step S14).

  When there are two correction candidate genres, a genre having a lower priority order, for example, a genre ID is output as a correction target genre among the two genres (step S15).

  If there is only one correction candidate genre, that genre is output as a correction target genre (step S16).

  The correction target genre is determined as described above.

  The correction target genre determination process described above is merely an example, and may be a correction target genre determination process different from this.

(Screen display during genre correction by team)
Screen display at the time of genre correction by the team in the game system of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  When the log-in process and the matching process are completed by the two players who are competing, the genre selection screen is displayed on the display monitor 34 of the master-side game apparatus 12. The genre selection screen is displayed.

  FIG. 11 is an example of a genre selection screen for a battle game in which XXX and △△△ are in the game system of the present embodiment. FIGS. 11A and 11B are genre selection screens on the XXX side, and FIG. 11C is a genre selection screen on the △ Δ △ side.

  FIG. 11A shows a genre selection screen on the XXX side in the state where there is no genre correction by the team.

  The genre selection screen of FIG. 11 (a) has a quiz genre (natural science genre, language / literature genre, history / geography / social genre, entertainment genre, cartoon / anime / game genre, sports genre, fashion / Gourmet genres, hobbies, trivia genres), their own levels in each genre, level comparison results, opponent levels, and number of select questions.

  The level comparison result is represented by the characters “dominant”, “one angle”, “inferior” and symbols “>”, “=”, “<”. The number of select questions is 4 questions for “dominant”, 3 questions for “match”, and 2 questions for “inferior”.

  In the genre selection screen on the side of Mr. XXX without the genre correction by the team in FIG. 11A, the following is displayed.

  In the natural science genre, the opponent is “level 3” with respect to “level 3” of the player, so the comparison result is “same” “=” and the number of select questions is “3 questions”.

  In the language / literature genre, the opponent is “level 4” with respect to “level 3”, so the comparison result is “inferior” “<”, and the number of select questions is “2 questions”.

  In the history / geography / social genre, since the opponent is “level 3” with respect to “level 2”, the comparison result is “inferior” “<”, and the number of select questions is “2 questions”.

  In the entertainment genre, since the opponent is “level 3” relative to “level 2”, the comparison result is “inferior” “<”, and the number of select questions is “2 questions”.

  In the manga / anime / game genre, the opponent is “level 3” with respect to “level 3” of the player, so the comparison result is “match” and “=”, and the number of select questions is “3 questions”.

  In the sports genre, since the opponent is “level 2” with respect to “level 3”, the comparison result is “dominant” “>”, and the number of select questions is “4 questions”.

  In the fashion / gourmet genre, the opponent is “level 2” relative to “level 3”, so the comparison result is “dominant” “>”, and the number of select questions is “4 questions”.

  In the hobby / miscellaneous genre, since the opponent is “level 3” with respect to “level 2” of the player, the comparison result is “inferior” “<”, and the number of select questions is “2 questions”.

  On the left side of the genre selection screen, information on the XXX side is displayed. In FIG. 11 (a), the affiliation team name (XXX team), player name (XXX), rank (answer 8th grade), registered store name (XXX showroom 1), and specialty genre (natural science) are displayed. Is done.

  On the right side of the genre selection screen, information on the opponent's △△△ side is displayed. In FIG. 11B, the player name (ΔΔΔ), rank (answer level 9), registered store name (XXX showroom 2), and specialty genre (language / literature) are displayed. Since it does not belong to a team, the team name is not displayed.

  Here, it is assumed that the hobby / trivia genre, which is a “bad genre”, has been genre-corrected based on the results of other team members, and what was originally “level 2” has been increased by one level and corrected to “level 3” .

  When the genre correction is performed, the area A on the genre selection screen in FIG. 11A is displayed as shown in FIG. FIG. 11B shows an area A of the genre selection screen on the XXX side in a state where the genre correction is performed by the team.

  In the hobby / miscellaneous genre, it is displayed so that it can be seen that its own level has been increased by “level 2 + 1”. Since the level of the opponent is “level 3”, the comparison result is “equivalent” “=”, and the number of select questions is “3 questions”.

  FIG. 11C shows an area A of the genre selection screen on the side of the △△△ who is the opponent in the state in which the genre is corrected by the team.

  Since it is a genre selection screen on the △△△ side, as shown in FIG. 11C, information on the △△△ side is displayed on the left side of the genre selection screen, and Mr. XXX is on the right side of the genre selection screen. Side information is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 11 (c), △△△ 's specialty genre (language / literature) is displayed on the left side of area A of the genre selection screen, and XX's specialty genre (natural science) is shown on the right side. Is displayed.

  Then, in the hobby / trivia genre in the center of the area A on the genre selection screen, the level of self (Mr. △△△) is displayed as “level 3”, and the level of the opponent (Mr. XXX) is also “level 3”. The comparison result is displayed as “equal” and “=”, and the number of selected questions is displayed as “3 questions”.

  “Level 3” of the opponent (Mr. XXX) is what was originally “Level 2” and has been corrected to “Level 3” by one level. The selection screen is displayed so that the user does not know that the level has been improved.

  Thereby, Mr. △△△ who is the opponent of XXX misunderstands that the level of hobbies and trivia of Mr. XXX is high, and it is possible to suppress the selection of a weak genre from the opponent.

[Second embodiment (other competitive game)]
A game system according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  As in the first embodiment, the game system of the present embodiment is connected to game devices installed in amusement facilities throughout the country via the Internet, so that even players who are distant from each other can play a battle game. It is configured to be able to do.

  The basic configuration of the game system of the present embodiment is the same as that of the game system of the first embodiment, but in the first embodiment, the battle game is a quiz game, whereas in this embodiment, the battle game category is Different.

  As in the first embodiment, when the battle game category is a quiz game, the battle condition is determined depending on which genre is selected from a plurality of quiz genres. The weakness / good point is determined by the performance of each quiz genre.

  The category of the battle game in the present embodiment is a battle game other than the quiz game, that is, a race game, a fighting game, a mini game, a mahjong game, a Tetris game, and the like.

(First example: racing game)
As a first specific example of the present embodiment, a case where the battle game category is a race game will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 12 shows the data table of the member card of this example, FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the battle game process of this example, and FIGS. 14 to 16 show the game screens of the battle game process of this example. is there.

  The racing game of this specific example is a game in which a player controls a car or the like and competes with other players for ranking.

  In the race game, various courses for executing the race are set. Selecting the course will select the battle conditions.

  In this specific example, courses that can be selected are, for example, the Akina Lake course, the Myogi course, the Akina course, the Iroha slope course, the Tsukuba course, and the Happogahara course.

  The course on which the race is run is long, short or medium, whether there are many curves, few or medium, whether the course is wide, narrow or medium, whether there are many uphills, few or medium The fighting conditions differ depending on whether there are many downhills, little or medium.

  For example, there are players who are good at courses with long distances, and those who are good at courses with many curves. As described above, the player is not good at the competitive condition of the course for executing the race. A course with low game results is a “poor course”, and a course with good game results is a “special course”.

  When competing in a race game, each other's own weak course and good course are displayed. In the present embodiment, the display of such “bad course” and “good course” is corrected based on, for example, the grades of team members, etc., and the display of own “bad course” or “good course” is hidden.

(Member's card data table)
FIG. 12 shows a data table of the member card of this specific example. The same applies to the player data table stored in the server or game device of the game system.

  In the game system of this embodiment, the player reads the member's card 16 and participates in the quiz game. The IC card which is the member's card 16 stores a data table shown in FIG.

The member card data table is composed of the following columns.
1. 1. “Store ID” field indicating the information of the store that issued the member's card 2. “UID” field indicating user ID information assigned to the player 3. “Name” column indicating the name of the player 4. “Nickname” field indicating the nickname of the player 5. “Selected character” field indicating the character selected by the player 6. “Team ID” field indicating team information in which the player is participating. 7. “Level” column indicating the level of each course of the game 8. “Play History” column indicating the player's play history 6. “Hidden Items” column indicating hidden items that the player owns. The “level” column is composed of the following “level” columns for each course.
71. 72. “Akina Lake Course Level” column showing the player's ability for the Akina Lake course. “Mysterious Course Level” column 73 indicating the player's ability to the Mysterious Course. “Akagi Course Level” column 74 indicating the player's ability to the Akagi Course. “Akina Course Level” column 75 indicating the ability of the player for the Akina Course. “Iroha Slope Course Level” column 76 showing the player's ability to play the hill course. “Tsukuba Course Level” column 77 indicating the player's ability to the Tsukuba Course “Happogahara Course Level” field indicating the ability of the player for the Happogahara course. For example, the “Level” field in the player data table of the player who is playing the game is compared to determine that the course is weak.

(Competitive game processing)
The battle game process in the game system according to this specific example will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 13, the operation of the master player, the process of the master game device 12, the process of the server 30, the process of the slave game device 12, the operation of the slave player, and the relationship between these processes are also shown. .

  An outline of the battle game process according to the present embodiment will be described. A racing game is played in a battle format by two players. One of the two game apparatuses 12 to be played is defined as a master and the other as a slave.

  First, the master player inserts the members card 16 into the IC card I / F (interface) 18 of the master game device 12 (step A01). The master game device 12 transmits a battle request to the server 30 based on the identification information of the inserted member's card 16 (step B01).

  On the other hand, the slave player inserts the members card 16 into the IC card I / F (interface) 18 of the slave game device 12 (step E01). The slave game device 12 transmits a battle request to the server 30 based on the identification information of the inserted members card 16 (step D01).

  Based on the battle request from the master player and the slave player, the server 30 matches the two and determines the battle (step C01).

  Based on a predetermined rule, the server 30 determines to give a course selection right to one of both players who compete (step C02). Examples of the predetermined rule include giving a course selection right to a player whose logon time to the game system is early, and giving a course selection right to a player selected by random lottery.

  Based on the course selection right determination of the server 30, the original screen of the course selection screen as shown in FIG. 14 is displayed on the display monitor 34 of the master game device 12 (step B02). Similarly, an original screen (not shown) of the course selection screen is also displayed on the display monitor 34 of the slave game device 12 (step D02).

  The original screen of the course selection screen is a game screen for course selection before the poor concealment process described later, that is, the results disguise process for disguising and displaying poor results.

  As shown in FIG. 14, on the right side of the game screen, “Akina Lake Course Selection Button”, “Myogi Course Selection Button”, “Akagi Course Selection Button”, “Akina Course Selection Button”, “Iroha Saka Course Selection” “Button”, “Tsukuba Course Selection Button” and “Happogahara Course Selection Button” are provided.

  The details of the selected race course are shown at the center of the game screen, and the levels of the selected player on the race course are indicated by stars at the bottom of the game screen. FIG. 14 shows the details of the selected Akina Lake course, the level of the Akina Lake course (☆☆), and the level of the opponent player (☆☆☆). It turns out that the Akina Lake course is weak.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 13, the course selection right is given to the slave player. In this specific example, the master player who has not been given the course selection right can perform the concealment process.

  Based on the team information recorded in the server 30 (step C03), the weakness hidden item recorded in the IC card (step A02), and the like, the master side game device 12 satisfies the poor hidden condition. It is determined whether or not (step B03).

  For example, the determination of the poor concealment condition is based on a method of determining based on the team information stored in the server 30 as in the first embodiment, or based on whether the master player holds the weak concealment item. There are methods. The weakly hidden items are, for example, special items that can be acquired or purchased during the execution of the game. The weakly concealed item acquired or purchased is recorded on the member's card 16 (see FIG. 12).

  Based on the determination result of the poor concealment condition in step B03, the master game device 12 performs the process of concealing concealment or the process of concealing concealment (step B04), and displays the processed course selection screen on the display monitor 34. (Step B05).

  In addition, the slave game device 12 also performs processing with concealment of weakness or processing without concealment (step D04), and displays the processed course selection screen on the display monitor 34 (step D05).

  The game screens of FIGS. 15 and 16 are course selection screens in which it is determined that the master player satisfies the poor concealment condition and the weak concealment process is performed. The game screen of FIG. 15 is a course selection screen for the master player who is concealed by disguising the grades, and the game screen of FIG. 16 is a course selection screen for the slave player who is concealed by disguising the grades.

  In the course selection original screen for the master player shown in FIG. 14, the player level is displayed as “☆☆” and the opponent player level is “☆☆☆”. On the course selection screen after the concealment process, the player level is displayed as “☆☆ + ☆☆☆”, the player level is displayed as “☆☆☆”, and three ☆☆☆ are added to the player level. It is displayed so that it can be seen that it is a level that hides the real results by disguising.

  On the course selection screen after the weak concealment process for the slave player, as shown in FIG. 16, the player level is displayed as “☆☆☆” and the opponent player level is displayed as “☆☆☆☆☆”. The level of the opponent who is actually “☆☆” has been changed to “☆☆☆☆☆”, and the player's performance is disguised, hiding that he is not good at it.

  Next, based on the course selection operation (step E02) by the slave player, the selected course is determined in the master game device 12, the server 30, and the slave game device 12 (step B06, step C04, step D05).

  Next, based on the race game operation by the master player (step A03) and the race game operation by the slave player (step E03), the race game is executed in the master game device 12, the server 30, and the slave game device 12. (Step B07, Step C05, Step D07) and the race result is saved (Step B08, Step C06, Step D08).

(Second specific example: fighting game)
As a second specific example of the present embodiment, a case where the battle game category is a fighting game will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 17 shows a member card data table of this example, FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing the battle game process of this example, and FIGS. 19 to 21 show game screens of the battle game process of this example. is there.

  The fighting game of this specific example is a game in which a player operates a controller to fight characters.

  In the fighting game, various stages are set for the fight. Selecting the stage will select the battle condition.

  In this specific example, the stages that can be selected are, for example, the ARENE stage, the GREAT WALL stage, the CASTLE stage, the CAVE stage, the GYMNASSUM stage, the GARDEN stage, the HARBOR stage, the SHRRINE stage, the CITY stage, the COLORSEUM stage, the AQUARUM stage, the TEMPLE stage, and the TEMPLE stage. Stage, HANGER stage.

  The stage for fighting is wide, normal or narrow, whether there is a wall surrounding the stage, whether the wall is high, normal or low, whether the wall is destructible or not destructible, the stage shape is square Whether it is a rectangle, a circle, a flat or inclined stage, etc.

  For example, in the case of a stage surrounded by an indestructible wall, there is no ringout during the fight. In the case of a stage surrounded by a destructible wall, it will not ring out during the fight while there is a wall, but it may ring out if the wall is destroyed. In the case of a stage not surrounded by a wall, there can always be a ringout. As described above, the victory conditions and the battle environment differ depending on the presence / absence of a wall and whether the wall can be destroyed or not.

  Also, in the case of a stage surrounded by high walls, the victory conditions and the battle environment are different, such as it is difficult for ring-out in the air to occur, and if the character can climb the wall, a special technique using a high wall can be used. .

  On the other hand, in the case of a stage surrounded by a low wall, the victory conditions and the battle environment are different, such as air ringout is likely to occur, and the opponent character can overcome the low wall with a specific technique and win the ringout.

  In the case of an inclined stage, the victory conditions and the battle environment are different, such as using a technique that increases attack power by attacking from higher to lower.

  For example, there are players who are good at a wide stage, those who are good at a stage surrounded by a destructible wall, and those who are good at a circular stage. Thus, the player is not good at the stage where the fight is performed. A stage with low game results is a “bad stage”, and a stage with good game results is a “special stage”.

  When fighting a fighting game, display their own “bad stage” and “special stage”. In the present embodiment, the display of such “bad stage” and “good stage” is corrected based on, for example, the results of the team members, etc., and the display of his own “bad stage” or “good stage” is hidden.

  In the fighting game described above, the battle condition is selected by selecting the stage. However, since the type and performance of the technique differ depending on the character, the battle character may be different from the battle condition. Can be a match condition selection.

(Member's card data table)
FIG. 17 shows a data table of the member's card of this specific example. The same applies to the player data table stored in the server or game device of the game system.

  In the game system of this embodiment, the player reads the member's card 16 and participates in the quiz game. The IC card which is the member's card 16 stores a data table shown in FIG.

The member card data table is composed of the following columns.
1. 1. “Store ID” field indicating the information of the store that issued the member's card 2. “UID” field indicating user ID information assigned to the player 3. “Name” column indicating the name of the player 4. “Nickname” field indicating the nickname of the player 5. “Selected character” field indicating the character selected by the player 6. “Team ID” field indicating team information in which the player is participating. 7. “Level” column indicating the level of each stage of the game 8. “Play History” column indicating the player's play history 6. “Hidden Items” column indicating hidden items that the player owns. The “level” column is composed of the following “level” columns for each stage.
71. 72. “ARENA stage level” column showing the player's ability for the ARENA stage. “GREAT WALL STAGE LEVEL” column 73 showing the ability of the player to the GREAT WALL stage. “CASTLE stage level” column indicating the player's ability to castle stage…
714. “HANGER stage level” column indicating the ability of the player to the HANGER stage For example, the “level” column in the player data table of the player who competes is compared to determine the “weak stage” or “good stage”.

(Competitive game processing)
The battle game process in the game system according to this specific example will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 18, the operation of the master player, the process of the master game device 12, the process of the server 30, the process of the slave game device 12, the operation of the slave player, and the relationship between these processes are also shown. .

  An outline of the battle game process according to the present embodiment will be described. A fighting game is played in a battle format by two players. One of the two game apparatuses 12 to be played is defined as a master and the other as a slave.

  First, the slave player inserts the member's card 16 into the IC card I / F (interface) 18 of the slave game device 12 (step E11). The slave game device 12 transmits a battle request to the server 30 based on the identification information of the inserted member's card 16, and waits for an opponent player (step D11).

  Next, the master player inserts the members card 16 into the IC card I / F (interface) 18 of the master game device 12 (step A11). The master game device 12 transmits a battle request to the server 30 based on the identification information of the inserted member's card 16, and enters the fighting stage (step B11). In this fighting game, the intruder has the right to select a stage.

  The server 30 compares the level of each stage of both players who compete, and calculates the stage proficiency (step C12).

  Based on the calculation of the stage proficiency of the server 30, the original screen of the stage selection screen as shown in FIG. 19 is displayed on the display monitor 34 of the master game device 12 (step B12). Similarly, the original screen (not shown) of the stage selection screen is displayed on the display monitor 34 of the slave game device 12 (step D12).

  The original screen of the stage selection screen is a game screen for stage selection before the weak concealment process described later is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 19, on the left side of the game screen, there are “ARENE stage selection button”, “GREAT WALL stage selection button”, “CASTLE stage selection button”, “CAVE stage selection button”, “GYMNASIUM stage selection button”, “ “GARDEN stage selection button” “HARBOR stage selection button” “SHLINE stage selection button” “CITY stage selection button” “COLOSSEUM stage selection button” “AQUARIUM stage selection button” “ISLAND stage selection button” “TEMPLE stage selection button” “HANGER stage” "Selection button" is displayed.

  The upper level of each selection button displays his / her level at that stage, and the lower side displays the level of the opponent player at that stage.

  For example, in the “ARENA stage”, one star “☆” is shown as the player's level, and four stars “☆☆☆☆” are shown as the level of the opponent player. It turns out that "ARENA stage" is a weak stage.

  On the right side of the game screen, as shown in FIG. 19, details of the stage selected by the selection button are shown.

  Next, the poor concealment condition is determined for both the master player and the slave player.

  Based on the team information recorded in the server 30 (step C13), the weakness hidden item recorded in the IC card (step A12), etc., the master side game device 12 satisfies the poor hidden condition. It is determined whether or not (step B13).

  Based on the team information recorded in the server 30 (step C13), the weakness hidden item recorded in the IC card (step E12), etc., the slave side game device 12 satisfies the poor hidden condition. It is determined whether or not (step D13).

  For example, the determination of the poor concealment condition is based on a method of determining based on the team information stored in the server 30 as in the first embodiment, or based on whether the master player holds the weak concealment item. There are methods. The weakly hidden items are, for example, special items that can be acquired or purchased during the execution of the game. The weakly concealed item acquired or purchased is recorded on the member's card 16 (see FIG. 17).

  The master-side game device 12 selects a poor concealment stage based on the determination result of the poor concealment condition in step B13 (step B14), performs a process with concealment of weakness or a process without concealment of weak consensus (step B15), and processing The completed stage selection screen is displayed on the display monitor 34 (step B16).

  Similarly, the slave game device 12 selects a poor concealment stage based on the determination result of the weak concealment condition in step D13 (step D14), and performs a process with concealment of weakness or a process without concealment of weakness (step D15). ) The processed stage selection screen is displayed on the display monitor 34 (step D16).

  The game screens of FIGS. 20 and 21 are stage selection screens in which it is determined that the master-side player satisfies the poor concealment condition and the weak concealment process is performed. The game screen of FIG. 20 is a stage selection screen for the master player who is concealed, and the game screen of FIG. 21 is a stage selection screen for the slave player who is concealed.

  In the original stage selection screen for the master player shown in FIG. 19, the player level displayed above the selection button “ARENA stage” is “☆”, and the opponent player level displayed below is “☆☆☆”. In the stage selection screen after the poor concealment process for the master player shown in FIG. 20, the level of the player displayed above the selection button “ARENA stage” is “☆ + ☆☆☆”. , The level of the opponent player displayed at the bottom is displayed as “☆☆☆☆”, three ☆☆☆ are added to the player level, and it is displayed so that it can be seen that it is a hidden level Yes.

  In the stage selection screen after the concealment process for the slave player, as shown in FIG. 21, the level of the slave player displayed above the selection button “ARENA stage” is “☆☆☆☆” and displayed below. The level of the selected opponent player (master player) is displayed as “☆☆☆☆”. The level of the opponent player who is actually “☆” has been changed to “☆☆☆☆”, and the weakness of the opponent player who is the master player is hidden.

  Next, based on the stage selection operation (step A13) by the master player, the selection stage is determined in the master game device 12, the server 30, and the slave game device 12 (step B17, step C14, step D17).

  Next, based on the fighting game operation by the master player (step A14) and the fighting game operation by the slave player (step E14), the fighting game is executed in the master game device 12, the server 30, and the slave game device 12. (Step B18, Step C15, Step D18) and the race result is saved (Step B19, Step C16, Step D19).

(Competitive game processing)
The battle game process in the game system according to this specific example will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 23, the operation of the master player, the process of the master game device 12, the process of the server 30, the process of the slave game device 12, the operation of the slave player, and the relationship between these processes are also shown. .

  An outline of the battle game process according to the present embodiment will be described. A fighting game is played in a battle format by two players. One of the two game apparatuses 12 to be played is defined as a master and the other as a slave.

  First, the master player inserts the members card 16 into the IC card I / F (interface) 18 of the master game device 12 (step A21). The master game device 12 transmits a battle request to the server 30 based on the identification information of the inserted member's card 16 (step B21).

  On the other hand, the slave player inserts the member's card 16 into the IC card I / F (interface) 18 of the slave game device 12 (step E21). The slave game device 12 transmits a battle request to the server 30 based on the identification information of the inserted members card 16 (step D21).

  Based on the battle request from the master player and the slave player, the server 30 matches the two and determines the battle (step C21). The right to select a mini game is alternately given to the matched master player and slave player.

  The server 30 compares the levels of the mini games of both players in the battle, and calculates the mini game strength (step C22).

  Based on the calculation of the mini game proficiency of the server 30, the original screen of the mini game selection screen as shown in FIG. 19 is displayed on the display monitor 34 of the master game device 12 (step B 22). Also, the original screen (not shown) of the mini game selection screen is displayed on the display monitor 34 of the slave game device 12 (step D22).

  The original screen of the mini game selection screen is a game screen for mini game selection before the weak concealment process described later is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 24, on the game screen, four “select buttons” for selecting a selectable mini game are arranged in two rows and two columns.

  The level of each player in the mini game is displayed on the upper side of each selection button, and the level of the opponent player in the mini game is displayed on the lower side. For example, in the “select button” in the upper right, one star “☆” is shown as one's level, and four stars “☆☆☆☆” are shown as the level of the opponent player. It can be seen that the mini-game of the “select button” in the upper right is a mini-game that is weak.

  Next, the poor concealment condition is determined for both the master player and the slave player.

  Based on the team information recorded in the server 30 (step C23), the weakness hidden item recorded in the IC card (step A22), and the like, the master side game device 12 satisfies the poor hidden condition. It is determined whether or not (step B23).

  Based on the team information recorded in the server 30 (step C23), the weakness hidden item recorded in the IC card (step E22), etc., the slave side game device 12 satisfies the poor hidden condition. It is determined whether it is present (step D23).

  For example, the determination of the poor concealment condition is based on a method of determining based on the team information stored in the server 30 as in the first embodiment, or based on whether the master player holds the weak concealment item. There are methods. The weakly hidden items are, for example, special items that can be acquired or purchased during the execution of the game. The weakly concealed item acquired or purchased is recorded in the member's card 16 (see FIG. 22).

  The master-side game device 12 selects a weak concealment mini-game based on the determination result of the weak concealment condition in step B23 (step B24), and performs a process with concealment of concealment or a process without concealment of conspicuousness (step B25). The processed mini game selection screen is displayed on the display monitor 34 (step B26).

  Similarly, the slave-side game device 12 selects a weak concealment mini-game based on the determination result of the poor concealment condition in step D23 (step D24), and performs a process with concealment of concealment or a process without concealment of conspicuousness (step S24). D25) The processed mini game selection screen is displayed on the display monitor 34 (step D26).

  The game screens of FIGS. 25 and 26 are mini game selection screens in which it is determined that the master player satisfies the poor concealment condition and the weak concealment process is performed. The game screen of FIG. 25 is a mini game selection screen for the master player who is concealed, and the game screen of FIG. 26 is a mini game selection screen for the slave player who is concealed.

  In the original mini game selection screen for the master player shown in FIG. 24, the level of the master player displayed on the upper side of the “selection button” on the upper right is “☆”, and the level of the slave player displayed on the lower side is “☆☆☆☆” was displayed, but on the mini-game selection screen after the poor concealment process for the master player shown in FIG. 25, the level of the master player displayed above the “select button” on the upper right is “☆ + ☆☆☆”, the level of the slave player displayed on the lower side is displayed as “☆☆☆☆”, and the level of the master player is hidden by adding three ☆☆☆ It is displayed so that it can be understood.

  In the mini game selection screen after the weak concealment process for the slave player, as shown in FIG. 26, the level of the slave player displayed above the “select button” on the upper right is “☆☆☆☆”, The level of the displayed master player (matching player) is displayed as “☆☆☆☆”. The level of the master player (matching player) that is actually “☆” has been changed to “☆☆☆☆”, and the weakness of the master player (matching player) is hidden.

  Next, based on the first mini game selection operation (step A23) by the master player, the selected mini game is determined in the master game device 12, the server 30, and the slave game device 12 (step B27, step C24). Step D27).

  Next, the mini game is executed in the master game device 12, the server 30, and the slave game device 12 based on the mini game operation (step A24) by the master player and the mini game operation (step E23) by the slave player. (Step B28, Step C25, Step D28), and the mini game result is saved (Step B29, Step C26, Step D29).

  Next, the processed mini game selection screen shown in FIG. 25 is displayed on the display monitor 34 of the master game device 12 (step B30), and the display monitor 34 of the slave game device 12 is shown in FIG. The processed mini game selection screen is displayed (step D30).

  Next, based on the second mini game selection operation (step E24) by the slave player, the selected mini game is determined in the master game device 12, the server 30, and the slave game device 12 (step B31, step C27). Step D31).

  Next, based on the mini game operation by the master player (Step A25) and the mini game operation by the slave player (Step E25), the mini game is executed in the master game device 12, the server 30, and the slave game device 12. (Step B32, Step C28, Step D32) and the mini game result is saved (Step B33, Step C29, Step D33).

  Thereafter, the master player and the slave player alternately select a mini-game and play a battle game of the mini-game collection.

(Fourth example: mahjong game)
As a fourth specific example of this embodiment, a case where the category of the battle game is a mahjong game will be described. The mahjong game is a mahjong game played by a player operating a controller.

  In the mahjong game, there are many types of local rules, and the win rate depends on the presence or absence of the local rules. Therefore, for example, the presence or absence of a specific local rule is a battle condition.

  For example, rules such as whether or not to allow local roles (double, triple roles, etc.), whether or not ikasama skills and items can be used, whether four players or three players are used, etc.

  Players are not good at mahjong game competition conditions (presence of local rules). A rule with a low game score is a “bad rule”, and a rule with a good game score is a “good rule”.

  When playing a mahjong game, display their own “bad rules” and “good rules”. In the present embodiment, such display of the “bad rule” and “good rule” is not displayed based on, for example, the performance of the team member, and the display of the own “bad rule” or “good rule” is hidden.
