Description

  The present invention relates to a game program and a recording medium on which the game program is recorded.

  Conventionally, a game system in which a battle progresses in real time is known. In this game system, the player character enters a waiting time determined for each character after the start of the game or the battle action such as an attack is completed. When this waiting time elapses, command input is permitted. At this point, the player can select the displayed combat action (command input). When a command is input, processing corresponding to the command is performed (command determination), the designated battle action is performed, and the standby time is entered again (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2002-210250 A

  In general, in an action puzzle game having both an action game element and a puzzle game element, the game progresses in real time within a time limit. For example, when an element of a strategy simulation game is added to such a game, the following problems arise when the game system is applied.

  As an action puzzle game to which a strategy simulation element is added, for example, a game in which a friendly unit and an enemy unit battle each other within a time limit while acquiring a panel on a certain number of panels. In such a game, the positional relationship between the friendly unit and the enemy unit is important for the acquisition of the base and the attack strategy. However, if the above game system is applied and all the units can be operated in real time, the enemy unit moves while the user selects the movement destination of the ally unit, and their positional relationship changes, and the user changes. Will be confused without deciding where to go. Furthermore, even when the user can determine the destination, the enemy unit moves to the position immediately before the friend unit is actually moved, and the friend unit itself cannot be moved or immediately after the friend unit is moved. The enemy unit may move and the user's strategy may become meaningless.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object thereof is to provide a game program capable of realizing an action puzzle game having a strategy simulation element and a recording medium on which the game program is recorded. .

  In order to achieve the above object, the game program of the present invention provides an information processing apparatus including an operation input unit for performing an input operation by a user on a plurality of panels arranged in a line, with an ally unit as the user. The unit movement processing unit that moves the unit in units of the panel according to the input operation of the unit and moves the enemy unit in units of the panel, each unit including the ally unit and the enemy unit after the start of the game or the operation of the unit After the end, the operation of the unit is stopped until the standby time determined for each unit elapses, and the unit time processing unit enables the operation of the unit after the elapse of the standby time. While the operation for selecting the destination is being performed, regardless of whether or not the unit time processing unit is operable, Pause processing unit to temporarily suspend the operation of the enemy unit, to function as a.

  In the present invention, on the plurality of panels arranged in alignment, the ally unit is moved in units of panels according to the user's input operation, and the enemy unit is moved in units of panels by the game program. At this time, each unit including the ally unit and the enemy unit is stopped until the waiting time determined for each unit has elapsed after the game starts or after the operation of the unit ends, and can be operated after the waiting time has elapsed. It becomes. That is, the ally unit and the enemy unit do not operate every time the turn is switched, for example, but operates in a mixed manner whenever the standby time set for each unit elapses.

  In such a game, when adding a strategy simulation element, the positional relationship between an ally unit and an enemy unit is strategically important. However, while the user selects the movement destination of the friendly unit, the enemy units move and their positional relationship changes, and the user may be confused without being able to determine the movement destination. Furthermore, even when the user can determine the destination, the enemy unit moves to the position immediately before the friend unit is actually moved, and the friend unit itself cannot be moved or immediately after the friend unit is moved. The enemy unit may move and the user's strategy may become meaningless.

  Therefore, in the present invention, while the operation for selecting the movement destination of the ally unit is performed by the user by the suspension processing unit, the operations of all enemy units are temporarily performed regardless of whether the unit time processing unit can perform the operation. To be stopped. As a result, the above-described problems are solved, and the user can ponder the movement destination of the friendly unit, which is strategically advantageous, without being confused by the operation of the enemy unit. Therefore, an action puzzle game having a strategy simulation element can be realized.

  In addition, the game program of the present invention preferably determines the victory or defeat of the information processing device as a defeat of the friendly army when a predetermined time limit elapses without the enemy unit being annihilated after the start of the game. The winning / losing determination processing unit continues to count the time limit even when the enemy unit is temporarily stopped by the temporary stop processing unit.

  For example, if the game limit time is also stopped while the operation of the enemy unit is stopped by the pause processing unit, the user can ponder as long as possible for the move destination of the ally unit, the real time property is lost, and the action puzzle The fun as a game is lost.

  In the present invention, since the winning / losing determination processing unit continues counting the time limit even when the enemy unit is temporarily stopped by the temporary stop processing unit, it is necessary for the user to quickly determine the movement destination of the friendly unit. By securing real-time properties in this way, it is possible to maintain the fun as an action puzzle game.

  On the one hand, the action of the enemy unit is temporarily stopped to make use of the elements of the strategy simulation game, while on the other hand, the time limit is allowed to pass as it is, so that the elements of the action puzzle game can be secured and the two can be balanced. Is possible.

  In the game program of the present invention, it is preferable that the unit time processing unit continues to count the waiting time even when the enemy unit is temporarily stopped by the temporary stop processing unit.

  As a result, if the user takes time to select the movement destination of the friendly unit, the enemy unit cannot operate due to the temporary stop, but for example, the standby time of the enemy unit that has been stopped by the unit time processing unit has elapsed. Therefore, there is a possibility that the operation is started at the same time that the pause is released. Therefore, it is preferable for the user to quickly determine the destination of the ally unit. By securing real-time properties in this way, it is possible to maintain the fun as an action puzzle game.

  The game program of the present invention is preferably a unit display process for displaying the information processing apparatus so that the unit time processing unit can display whether or not the unit time processing unit is operable or stopped. Further function as part.

  As a result, it is possible to prevent an erroneous operation such as a case where the user erroneously tries to operate the ally unit whose operation is stopped. Therefore, user convenience can be improved. In addition, since the user can instantly determine whether the enemy unit is operable or stopped, for example, it is possible to take a strategy such as attacking the enemy unit whose operation is stopped to reliably damage the enemy unit. . Therefore, the strategy can be improved.

  In the game program of the present invention, it is preferable that the information processing apparatus displays an advance notice for displaying the position of the panel where the enemy unit is about to move by the unit movement processing unit before the enemy unit moves. Further function as a processing unit.

  Thereby, the user can recognize the movement destination of the enemy unit before actually moving. Therefore, for example, it is possible to avoid the attack by moving the ally unit immediately before the movement (attack) of the enemy unit, and the strategy can be further improved.

  In the game program of the present invention, it is preferable that the unit movement processing unit moves the ally unit regardless of the panel while the user performs an operation of selecting the destination, and the movement is performed. The position where the movement of the ally unit is stopped when the movement of the ally unit is stopped by the user during the operation of selecting the destination, or when the operation of determining the movement destination is performed by the user Alternatively, the position of the ally unit is adjusted and arranged on the panel closest to the position where the operation for determining the movement destination is performed.

  Thus, the user can move the ally unit along a flexible route without being affected by the shape, size, arrangement, or the like of the panel while performing an operation of selecting the destination of the ally unit. In addition, since the friend unit is adjusted and arranged on the panel closest to the position where the operation for determining the destination is performed by the user, the user performs the operation for determining the destination at a flexible position. Can do. Therefore, the intuitiveness of operation can be improved.

  In the game program of the present invention, it is preferable that the unit movement processing unit is configured so that the ally unit is moved by the user at a position exceeding a movable range determined for each ally unit during the operation of selecting the destination. When the movement of the ally unit is stopped, or when the user performs an operation of determining the destination of the ally unit at a position exceeding the movable range determined for each ally unit The position of the ally unit is adjusted and arranged on the panel closest to the position within the range where the movement of the ally unit is stopped or the position where the operation for determining the movement destination is performed.

  As a result, even if the user mistakenly performs an operation for determining the movement destination at a position beyond the movable range of the teammate unit during the operation of selecting the movement destination of the teammate unit, the user's wishes within the movable range. The friendly unit can be automatically placed on the panel that most closely matches. Therefore, the user can perform the operation of moving the ally unit without being conscious of the movable range of the ally unit, so that the intuitiveness of the operation can be improved.

  In the game program of the present invention, preferably, the unit display processing unit is in a state where an operation for specifying the ally unit is performed by the user, and an operation for selecting the destination of the ally unit is performed. At least two states are displayed so as to be distinguishable from each other.

  Thereby, a user's visual interest property can be improved.

  In order to achieve the above object, a recording medium of the present invention is a recording medium in which the information processing apparatus can read the game program.

  According to the game program and the recording medium of the present invention, an action puzzle game having a strategy simulation element can be realized.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

<1. Appearance configuration of information processing apparatus>
First, an example of the external configuration of the information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 1 includes a touch panel unit 3 on which various displays and various input operations by a user are performed. The user performs a desired operation input by touching the touch panel unit 3 with a finger. The detection method of the touch panel unit 3 is not particularly limited, and various detection methods such as a resistance film method, a capacitance method, an optical method, and an electromagnetic induction method can be employed. The information processing apparatus 1 may include an operation input unit such as a button or a switch in addition to the touch panel unit 3. The touch panel unit 3 corresponds to an example of an operation input unit.

  The information processing apparatus 1 is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet computer, a portable game machine, or the like. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and any display device provided with a touch panel unit may be manufactured or sold as a computer such as a server computer, a desktop computer, or a notebook computer. In addition, mobile phones, fablets, and the like manufactured and sold as telephones, stationary game machines, and the like are also included.

<2. Outline of the game>
Next, an example of a schematic content of a game according to the present embodiment, that is, a game provided by executing the game program of the present invention by the information processing apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in the game according to the present embodiment, a team unit 7 and an enemy unit 9 perform a battle within a time limit while acquiring a panel 5 on a certain number of panels 5. Each of the plurality of panels 5 serving as a base has a hexagonal shape and is arranged in a honeycomb shape. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the panels 5 are arranged without gaps, but may be arranged with some gaps. On the plurality of panels 5, a plurality (3 in this example) of ally units 7 constituting a friendly army and a plurality (3 in this example) of enemy units 9 constituting an enemy army are arranged.

  The number of ally units 7 and the number of enemy units 9 only have to be 2 or more, and are not limited to 3 above. Further, the number of ally units 7 and the number of enemy units 9 may be different. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the unit form is common to the friendly army and common to the enemy army, but may be different for each unit.

  The ally unit 7 is moved in units of panels according to a drag-and-drop operation via the user's touch panel unit 3. The enemy unit 9 is moved in units of panels based on a predetermined algorithm defined by the game program. At this time, each unit of the ally unit 7 and the enemy unit 9 is stopped until the standby time determined for each unit elapses after the start of the game or after the operation of the unit ends, and the operation is performed after the standby time elapses. It becomes possible. That is, when the user performs an operation such as moving on each team member 7, the user cannot perform an operation such as moving until the standby time has elapsed, and moves for each team unit 7 whose standby time has elapsed. It becomes possible to perform operations such as. Similarly, the enemy unit 9 is also operated based on the algorithm, and thereafter, the enemy unit 9 is not operated until the standby time elapses, and becomes operable for each enemy unit 9 for which the standby time has elapsed. As a result, the friendly unit 7 and the enemy unit 9 are not in an operable state each time the turn is changed, for example, but are in an operable state each time the standby time set for each unit elapses. Operate.

  In this specification, the “motion” of a unit includes all the actions of the unit, such as movement of the unit, attack, use of an item, casting a spell, and activating a mystery.

  The panel 5 to which the ally unit 7 is moved, that is, the panel 5 on which the ally unit 7 is arranged after the movement is the camp army 11. On the other hand, the destination panel 5 of the enemy unit 9, that is, the panel 5 arranged after the enemy unit 9 is moved becomes the base 13 of the enemy army. In FIG. 2, the panel 5 that has become the allied base 11 is indicated by horizontal hatching, the panel 5 that has become the enemy base 13 is indicated by vertical hatching, and the panel 5 that is not hatched becomes any base. Indicates that it is not. The ally unit 7 and the enemy unit 9 can acquire a plurality of positions at once by activating a chain function, which will be described later. This will be described later.

  When the ally unit 7 is moved to the panel 5 adjacent to the enemy unit 9 (more precisely, the panel 5 on which the enemy unit 9 is arranged), the enemy unit 9 is attacked and damaged. Similarly, when the enemy unit 9 is moved to the panel 5 adjacent to the ally unit 7 (more precisely, the panel 5 on which the ally unit 7 is arranged), the enemy unit 7 is attacked and damaged. Hereinafter, the case of attacking from adjacent panels in this manner is referred to as “direct attack” as appropriate in order to distinguish it from “jaw” described later.

  In each unit 7, 9, parameters such as attack power and hit points (the number of damage that can be withstood) are set in advance. Each unit 7, 9 deals damage according to the attack power to the opponent unit and is defeated when its hit point becomes 0. Note that the ally unit 7 and the enemy unit 9 can also attack the opponent unit separated by the activation of the chain function described later. This will be described later.

  A time limit is set in advance in the game, and if the enemy unit 9 is annihilated within the time limit, the team wins. On the other hand, if the ally unit 7 is completely annihilated, or if the time limit has elapsed without the enemy unit 9 being annihilated, the team is defeated.

  The above is the outline content of the game according to the present embodiment. Hereinafter, the content of the characteristic part will be described in detail.

<3. Functional configuration related to activation of chain function of information processing device>
Next, with reference to FIG. 3 and FIGS. 4 to 13, an example of a functional configuration mainly related to the activation of the chain function among the functional configurations of the information processing apparatus 1 will be described. In addition, the processing results by the respective processing units are appropriately displayed on the touch panel unit 3, but in FIG. 3, signal lines (arrows) between the respective processing units and the touch panel unit 3 are partially omitted in order to prevent complexity. Yes. In addition, the arrow shown in FIG. 3 shows an example of the signal flow, and does not limit the signal flow direction.

  As illustrated in FIG. 3, the information processing apparatus 1 includes the touch panel unit 3, the unit movement processing unit 15, the chain processing unit 17, the battle processing unit 19, the auxiliary display processing unit 21, the panel acquisition processing unit 23, and the item acquisition process. Unit 25, occupation rate calculation processing unit 27, parameter processing unit 29, panel display processing unit 31, effect processing unit 33, and fever time processing unit 34.

  The unit movement processing unit 15 performs processing related to the movement of the ally unit 7 and the enemy unit 9. Specifically, as described above, the unit movement processing unit 15 moves the plurality of team units 7 constituting the team of allies in units of panels according to a drag-and-drop operation through the touch panel unit 3 of the user. . The unit movement processing unit 15 moves the plurality of enemy units 9 constituting the enemy army in units of panels based on a predetermined algorithm. For each unit 7, 9, a distance that can be moved by a single movement operation is set as a parameter for each unit in advance, and the unit movement processing unit 15 can move each unit within a movable range according to the movable distance. 7 and 9 are moved.

  The chain processing unit 17 determines whether or not the panels 5 on which the teammate units 7 are arranged are arranged in a straight line with one or more panels 5 sandwiched by the movement of the teammate unit 7 by the unit movement processing unit 15. To do. Then, the chain processing unit 17 activates a “chain function” that is advantageous to the friendly team when the above arrangement is obtained. In this embodiment, since the panel 5 is hexagonal, for example, as shown in FIGS. 4A to 4C, there are three directions D1, D2, and D3 in the linear arrangement direction in which the chain function is activated. Exists.

  Moreover, since the number of the ally units 7 is 3, for example, as shown in FIGS. 5A to 5C, a linear array is simultaneously formed in two or more directions among D1, D2, and D3, and a plurality of chain functions are formed. Can be activated simultaneously. If the number of the ally units 7 is four or more, the chain function can be activated simultaneously in three directions.

  The chain function includes a “pinching function”, a “panel acquisition function”, and an “item acquisition function”. The “pinching function” is a function in which the chain processing unit 17 causes the battle processing unit 19 to pinch all enemy units 9 sandwiched between the ally units 7 by the plurality of ally units 7. The “panel acquisition function” is a function in which the chain processing unit 17 causes the panel acquisition processing unit 23 to use the panel 5 sandwiched between the panels 5 on which the ally units 7 are arranged as the camp 11 of the friendly team. The “item acquisition function” is a function in which the chain processing unit 17 causes the item acquisition processing unit 25 to make an item appear and be acquired with a predetermined probability from the panel 5 that is set as the team 11 of the friendly team by the panel acquisition processing unit 23. . The chain function is not limited to the above function, and may include other functions that are advantageous to the friendly team.

  On the other hand, the chain processing unit 17 also activates the chain function for the enemy unit 9. That is, the chain processing unit 17 determines whether or not the panels 5 on which the enemy units 9 are arranged are arranged in a straight line with one or more panels 5 in between by the movement of the enemy unit 9 by the unit movement processing unit 15. Also determine. Then, the chain processing unit 17 activates a part of the chain function, in this example, the “pinching function” and the “panel acquisition function” for the enemy units 9 when the above arrangement is obtained.

  It should be noted that the “item acquisition function” may be activated for the enemy unit 9 or only one of the “pinching function” and the “panel acquisition function” may be activated. Further, the chain function may not be activated for the enemy unit 9 and may be activated only for the ally unit 7.

  In addition, the chain processing unit 17 can continuously activate the chain function without the movement of the ally unit 7 by the predetermined operation of the ally unit 7 (for example, casting a spell, using an item, etc.) after the chain function is activated. Also good.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the battle processing unit 19 performs a process related to the battle between the ally unit 7 and the enemy unit 9. Specifically, as described above, when the ally unit 7 is moved to the panel 5 adjacent to the enemy unit 9, the battle processing unit 19 directly attacks the enemy unit 9 and causes damage. Similarly, when the enemy unit 9 is moved to the panel 5 adjacent to the ally unit 7, the ally unit 7 is directly attacked and damaged. In the case of a direct attack, if the friendly units 7 or the enemy units 9 are adjacent to each other, the unit can support and attack each other so that the damage to be given can be increased as compared with the case where the unit alone attacks. May be.

  In addition, when the chain function is activated by the chain processing unit 17, the battle processing unit 19 includes one or more panels 5 in which the enemy units 9 are disposed between the panels 5 in which the ally units 7 are disposed. If present, all enemy units 9 sandwiched between the ally units 7 are pinched by a plurality of ally units.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, when a single enemy unit 9 exists between the ally units 7, pinching by the two ally units 7 is performed. Further, as shown in FIG. 6B, when there are a plurality of enemy units 9 (two in this example, but three or more) between the ally units 7, all the enemy units are arranged by the two ally units 7. 9 is pinched at once. Further, as shown in FIG. 6C, when the chain function is activated in two or more directions, pinching is performed on all the enemy units 9 in the respective directions at once.

  The battle processing unit 19 performs the same process as described above for the enemy unit 9. That is, in the case where the chain processing unit 17 activates the chain function for the enemy unit 9, the battle processing unit 19 has the friendly unit 7 arranged between the panels 5 on which the enemy unit 9 is arranged 1 Alternatively, when there are a plurality of panels 5, all the friendly units 7 sandwiched between the enemy units 9 are pinched by the plurality of enemy units 9.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the auxiliary display processing unit 21 displays the position of the panel 5 at which pinch by the battle processing unit 19 is possible while the user uses the touch panel unit 3 to select the movement destination of the ally unit 7. Specifically, while the user is moving the ally unit 7 by a drag operation, the chain processing unit 17 determines the position of the panel 5 at which pinching is possible, and the auxiliary display processing unit 21 determines the determination result. Based on this, the position of the panel 5 where pinching is possible is displayed in an auxiliary manner.

  The display mode at this time is not particularly limited as long as the user can determine the position of the panel 5 at which pinching is possible. For example, as shown in FIG. While selecting a movement destination for the ally unit 7 to be shown, the outline of the panel 5 that can be pinched may be displayed thicker than the other panels 5. Alternatively, the color may be changed. Further, instead of or in addition to the above display mode, as shown in FIG. 7B, a predetermined mark 35 (in this example, a lightning-like mark) may be displayed on the panel 5 where pinching is possible. . Furthermore, instead of or in addition to the above display mode, as shown in FIG. 7C, a mark 37 (thunder mark in this example) indicating the direction in which the chain function is activated may be displayed. In this case, the user can easily grasp not only the position of the panel 5 at which pinching is possible but also the enemy unit 9 to be pinched.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the panel acquisition processing unit 23 performs processing related to panel acquisition by the friendly army and the enemy army. Specifically, as described above, the panel acquisition processing unit 23 sets the destination panel 5 of the ally unit 7 as the ally army base 11 and sets the destination panel 5 of the enemy unit 9 as the enemy army base 13. . In the present embodiment, the movement paths of the units 7 and 9 are not the respective military positions, but the movement paths may be the respective military positions.

  In addition, when the chain function is activated by the chain processing unit 17, the panel acquisition processing unit 23 sets the panel 5 sandwiched between the panels 5 on which the teammate units 7 are arranged as the team 11 of the friendly team. For example, as shown in FIG. 8 (a), when there is no enemy unit 9 between the ally units 7, the panel acquisition processing unit 23 removes all the panels 5 sandwiched between the ally units 7 at a time. Allied army base 11

  On the other hand, when there is an enemy unit 9 between the friendly units 7, first, the battle processing unit 19 performs pinching, and when the enemy unit 9 is defeated, the panel acquisition processing unit 23 determines that the enemy unit 9 Allied army base 11 including panel 5 was placed. On the other hand, when the enemy unit 9 cannot be defeated, as shown in FIG. 8 (b), the panel acquisition processing unit 23 uses the other panel 5 other than the panel 5 on which the enemy unit 9 is arranged as the allied base. 11.

  As shown in FIG. 8C, when the chain function is activated in two or more directions, the panel acquisition processing unit 23 once puts the panel 5 sandwiched between the ally units 7 in the respective directions. The allied army base is 11.

  The panel acquisition processing unit 23 performs the same process as described above for the enemy unit 9. That is, when the chain processing unit 17 activates the chain function for the enemy unit 9, the panel acquisition processing unit 23 moves the panel 5 sandwiched between the panels 5 on which the enemy units 9 are arranged to the enemy army. This base 13 is assumed.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the item acquisition processing unit 25 performs processing related to item acquisition from the panel 5 by the ally unit 7. Specifically, when the chain processing unit 17 activates the chain function, the item acquisition processing unit 25 causes the panel acquisition processing unit 23 to make an item appear and acquire from the panel 5 that has been made the base 11 of the friendly team. . At this time, the item acquisition processing unit 25 does not cause items to appear from all the panels 5 but causes items to appear according to a predetermined appearance rate. And the item acquisition process part 25 changes the appearance rate of an item according to the number of the panels 5 made into the team 11 of the friendly army by the panel acquisition process part 23. FIG. Specifically, for example, as the number of panels assigned to the friendly army position increases, the item appearance rate increases. Therefore, for example, when the number of panels 5 designated as friendly team positions 11 is the minimum (one), the item does not appear, and when the number of panels 5 designated as friendly team positions 11 is the maximum. May appear from all the panels 5.

  The item that appears is not particularly limited as long as it is an item that is advantageous to the friendly team, but for example, gold that can be purchased in the game, and ingredients that can recover the hit points of the ally unit 7 Drugs etc. are included. Other items may appear.

  For example, the example shown in FIG. 9A is a case where the chain function is activated in one direction, and the item acquisition processing unit 25 has one panel 5 from the panel 5 that has been made the base 11 of the friendly team by the panel acquisition processing unit 23. Item 39 appears and is acquired. In addition, the example shown in FIG. 9B is a case where the chain function is activated in two or more directions, and the item acquisition processing unit 25 has a total of 2 from the panel 5 that is the ally army base 11 in each direction. One item 39 appears and is acquired. In this example, since the number of acquired panels 5 is larger in the case of FIG. 9B than in the case of FIG. 9A, the number of items 39 to be acquired is also increased.

  The item acquisition processing unit 25 does not cause an item to appear only when the panel 5 that is not in any military position or the panel 5 of the enemy army is changed to the panel 5 of the friendly army. For example, as shown in FIG. 10 (a), for the panel 5A that has already become the team 11 of the friendly army, as shown in FIG. 10 (b), the chain function is subsequently activated and changed (changed) by the panel acquisition processing unit 23. The item acquisition processing unit 25 also causes an item to appear and be acquired according to a predetermined appearance rate even from the panel 5A left as a friendly army base 11). Thereby, for example, even when the occupation rate occupied by the team 11 of the friendly army becomes high at the end of the game, etc., consideration is given so that the user does not reduce the opportunity to acquire items.

  Note that the item acquisition processing unit 25 performs the above-described process only on the teammate unit 7 and does not execute the above-described process on the enemy unit 9. Therefore, in this embodiment, the enemy unit 9 does not acquire an item from the panel 5, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the enemy unit 9 can also acquire an item from the panel 5 in the same manner as the friendly unit 7. It may be.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the occupation rate calculation processing unit 27 occupies the occupation ratio occupied by the friendly army position 11 and the occupation ratio occupied by the enemy army position 13 among the plurality of panels 5 based on the processing result by the panel acquisition processing unit 23. Is calculated. The total of the occupancy rate of the friendly army and the enemy army is 100% at maximum.

  The parameter processing unit 29 performs processing related to the parameters of the ally unit 7 and the enemy unit 9. In the present embodiment, the parameter processing unit 29 changes the parameters (attack power in this example) of the friendly unit 7 and the enemy unit 9 according to the occupation rate calculated by the occupation rate calculation processing unit 27. Specifically, the parameter processing unit 29 keeps the attack power of the ally unit 7 at a relatively small value while the ally occupation rate is low (for example, while the occupancy rate is less than 50%), After the occupancy rate increases to some extent (for example, after the occupancy rate exceeds 50%), the occupancy rate is changed to gradually increase as the occupancy rate increases.

  On the other hand, the parameter processing unit 29 also changes the attack power of the enemy unit 9 so as to have substantially the same relationship as the friendly unit 7. In other words, the parameter processing unit 29 keeps the attack power of the enemy unit 9 at a relatively small value while the enemy army occupancy is low (for example, while the occupancy is less than 50%), and the enemy army occupancy Is increased to some extent (for example, after the occupancy rate exceeds 50%), it is changed to gradually increase as the occupancy rate increases.

  As a result, the offense / defense relationship between the friendly army and the enemy army is reversed with the occupancy rate of the friendly army at 50% (or near 50%). In other words, if the occupancy rate of the friendly army exceeds 50%, the attack power of the friendly army increases and the attack power of the enemy army decreases, and the occupancy rate of the friendly army becomes less than 50% and inferior. If this happens, the attack power of the enemy army increases and the attack power of the friendly army decreases.

  For example, parameters other than the attack power such as the movable distance and quickness may be changed according to the occupation ratio. Further, the attack power may be changed in a mode other than the above.

  The panel display processing unit 31 performs processing related to display on the panel 5. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2 described above, the panel display processing unit 31 distinguishes (for example, color-codes) and displays the panel 5 that is the friendly army base 11 and the panel 5 that is the enemy military base 13. To do. Further, the panel display processing unit 31 changes the color of the friendly team panel 5 to a color tone of a plurality of levels (in this example, two levels) according to the occupancy rate of the ally army calculated by the occupancy rate calculation processing unit 27. To display. Similarly, the panel display processing unit 31 changes the color of the enemy army panel 5 to a plurality of levels (two levels in this example) according to the enemy occupation ratio calculated by the occupation ratio calculation processing unit 27. To display.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 11 (a), the panel display processing unit 31 uses the camp 11 of the friendly army while the occupying ratio of the friendly army and the enemy army is low (for example, each occupying ratio is less than 50%). A panel 5 and a panel 5 which is an enemy base 13 are displayed in a light color tone. In FIG. 11 (a), the panel 5 that is the friendly army base 11 is indicated by thin horizontal hatching, and the panel 5 that is the enemy base 13 is indicated by thin vertical hatching.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 11 (b), when the ally army occupancy exceeds 50% (or near 50%) and the ally army becomes dominant, the panel display processing unit 31 The panel 5 which is the base 11 is changed from a light color tone to a dark color tone. In FIG. 11 (b), the panel 5 that is the friendly army base 11 is indicated by dark horizontal hatching. It should be noted that the enemy army panel 5 remains light in color.

  On the other hand, for example, as shown in FIG. 11C, when the enemy army occupancy rate exceeds 50% (or near 50%) and the friendly forces are inferior, the panel display processing unit 31 The panel 5 as the base 13 is changed from a light color tone to a dark color tone. In FIG.11 (c), the panel 5 which is the enemy army base 13 is shown by the deep vertical hatching. In addition, about the panel 5 of an allied army, it is still a thin color tone.

  In addition, the panel display processing unit 31 displays the panel 5 that has been changed to the friendly army base 11 or the enemy army base 13 by the panel acquisition processing unit 23 so that the reverse operation is performed. This produces a reversi-type game.

  FIG. 12 shows an example of the display when the chain function is activated, for example. As shown in FIG. 12, when the chain function is activated by the chain processing unit 17, the panel display processing unit 31 is configured for each of the panels 5 sandwiched between the panels 5 on which the teammate units 7 are arranged. Display to turn over. In addition, by causing the item 39 to appear together with the turnover operation, it is possible to produce the item as if it appeared from the back side of the panel, and the visual interest can be improved.

  In addition, the panel display processing unit 31 displays the above-described operation for the panel 5 that has been made the friendly team 11 by the panel acquisition processing unit 23. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8B described above, when there is an enemy unit 9 between the ally units 7 and the enemy unit 9 cannot be defeated by pinching, the panel display processing unit 31 displays the enemy unit 9. The above operation is displayed for the other panels 5 excluding the panel 5 on which is arranged.

  Note that the panel display processing unit 31 displays so that the reverse operation is performed regardless of whether the panel 5 between the friendly units 7 is a friendly army position or an enemy military position. That is, for example, as shown in FIG. 10A described above, the panel acquisition processing unit 23 is activated after the chain function is activated for the panel 5A that has already become the friendly base 11 as shown in FIG. 10B. The above operation is also displayed for the panel 5A that is left in the friendly team 11 (without change).

  The panel display processing unit 31 performs the same process as described above for the panel 5 that has been made the enemy army base 13 by the panel acquisition processing unit 23.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the effect processing unit 33 performs processes related to various display effects. In the present embodiment, the effect processing unit 33 performs an effect relating to the display of the battle between the friendly army and the enemy army in accordance with the occupation rate calculated by the occupation rate calculation processing unit 27. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 13, when the ally army occupancy exceeds 50% (or near 50%) and the ally army becomes dominant, the flag 41 indicating that it is superior Display. Such an effect may be performed on the enemy army.

  Although illustration is omitted, for example, when the attack power of the ally unit 7 is increased from a predetermined value by the parameter processing unit 29 due to the superiority of the ally army, the screen is displayed to emphasize the increase of the attack power. You may perform effects, such as vibrating or enlarging the damage display of the enemy unit 9. A similar effect may be performed on the enemy army.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the fever time processing unit 34 performs processing related to the occurrence of fever time. In the present embodiment, the fever time processing unit 34 generates a fever time when the number of panels acquired by the friendly team reaches a predetermined number. When the fever time occurs, the unit movement processing unit 15 can freely move anywhere on the ally unit 7 without restriction on the movable distance, and can move continuously any number of times without waiting time. State.

  Note that the processing in each processing unit described above is not limited to the example of sharing of these processing, and may be processed by, for example, a smaller number of processing units (for example, one processing unit), Further, it may be processed by a further subdivided processing unit. The functions of each processing unit described above are implemented by a game program executed by a CPU 101 (see FIG. 22) to be described later. For example, a part of them is a dedicated integrated circuit such as an ASIC or FPGA, and other electrical circuits. It may be implemented by an actual device such as a circuit.

<4. Processing procedures related to chain function activation, etc.>
Next, an example of a processing procedure related to the activation of the chain function executed by the CPU 101 of the information processing apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In step S <b> 5, the information processing apparatus 1 uses the unit movement processing unit 15 to move the plurality of team units 7 constituting the team of the team in units of panels according to the drag-and-drop operation via the touch panel unit 3 of the user. At the same time, the plurality of enemy units 9 constituting the enemy army are moved in units of panels based on a predetermined algorithm.

  In step S10, the information processing apparatus 1 allows the auxiliary display processing unit 21 to perform pinching based on the determination result of the chain processing unit 17 while the user is moving the ally unit 7 by a drag operation. 5 is supplementarily displayed on the touch panel unit 3 (see FIGS. 7A to 7C).

  In addition, the said step S5 and step S10 are performed simultaneously in parallel, and the user can move the friend unit 7, referring the said auxiliary | assistant display.

  In step S15, the information processing apparatus 1 causes the chain processing unit 17 to move the ally unit 7 in step S5, so that the panels 5 on which the ally units 7 are arranged are linearly arranged with one or more panels 5 interposed therebetween. It is determined whether or not they are arranged in a row. If the above arrangement is not obtained (step S15: NO), the chain processing unit 17 does not activate the chain function, and the process proceeds to step S20.

  In step S <b> 20, the information processing apparatus 1 uses the panel acquisition processing unit 23 to set the panel 5 that is the destination of the ally unit 7 as the ally army 11. Further, when the ally unit 7 is moved to the panel 5 adjacent to the enemy unit 9, the battle processing unit 19 directly attacks the enemy unit 9 to cause damage. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S45 described later.

  On the other hand, if the above arrangement is obtained in step S15 (step S15: YES), the chain function is activated by the chain processing unit 17, and the process proceeds to step S25.

  In step S <b> 25, the information processing apparatus 1 determines whether the enemy unit 9 exists between the ally units 7 by the chain processing unit 17. When the enemy unit 9 exists (step S25: YES), in the next step S30, the battle processing unit 19 performs pinching on all the enemy units 9 (see FIG. 6A). ) To (c)). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S35. On the other hand, if there is no enemy unit 9 in step S25 (step S25: NO), the process proceeds directly to step S35.

  In step S <b> 35, the information processing apparatus 1 uses the panel 5 sandwiched between the panels 5 on which the teammate units 7 are arranged in the panel acquisition processing unit 23 as the team 11 of the friendly team (FIG. 8A to FIG. 8A). (See (c)).

  In addition, the information processing apparatus 1 similarly performs the procedure of step S15 to step S35 not only for the ally unit 7 but also for the enemy unit 9.

  In step S40, the information processing apparatus 1 causes the item acquisition processing unit 25 to cause an item to appear with a predetermined probability and acquire it from the panel 5 that has been set as the friendly team 11 by the panel acquisition processing unit 23 in step S35 (step S35). 9 (a) and 9 (b) and FIGS. 10 (a) and 10 (b)).

  In step S45, the information processing apparatus 1 calculates the occupancy rate of the friendly army and the occupancy rate of the enemy army based on the result of the panel acquisition in step S20 and step S35 by the occupation rate calculation processing unit 27. Then, the information processing apparatus 1 causes the parameter processing unit 29 to change the attack power of the ally unit 7 and the enemy unit 9 according to the calculated occupancy rate of the friendly army and the enemy occupancy rate.

  In step S50, the information processing apparatus 1 causes the panel display processing unit 31 to display the color of the friendly team panel 5 by changing the color of the friendly team 5 in two levels according to the occupancy ratio of the friendly team calculated in step S45. To do. Similarly, the color of the enemy army panel 5 is displayed in a two-color tone according to the calculated enemy army occupancy (see FIGS. 11A to 11C).

  In step S55, the information processing apparatus 1 is related to the display of the battle between the friendly army and the enemy army by the effect processing unit 33 according to the occupancy ratio of the friendly army and the enemy army calculated in step S45. An effect is performed (see FIG. 13).

  In step S60, the information processing apparatus 1 determines whether or not the enemy unit 9 has been annihilated by a win / loss determination processing unit 47 (see FIG. 15) described later. When the enemy unit 9 is completely destroyed (step S60: YES), the victory / loss determination processing unit 47 determines victory of the friendly army in the next step S65, and this flow ends. On the other hand, when the enemy unit 9 is not completely destroyed (step S60: NO), the process proceeds to step S70.

  In step S <b> 70, the information processing apparatus 1 determines whether or not the ally unit 7 has been annihilated by the win / loss determination processing unit 47. When the ally unit 7 is completely destroyed (step S70: YES), the win / loss determination processing unit 47 determines the defeat of the ally army in the next step S75, and this flow is ended. On the other hand, when the ally unit 7 is not completely destroyed (step S70: NO), the process proceeds to step S80.

  In step S80, the information processing apparatus 1 determines whether or not a preset time limit has elapsed since the execution of this flow (after starting the game) by the win / loss determination processing unit 47. When the time limit has elapsed (step S80: YES), the defeat of the friendly army is determined in step S75, and this flow ends. On the other hand, when the time limit has not elapsed (step S80: NO), the process returns to the previous step S5 and the above-described procedure is repeated.

  Note that the above-described processing procedure is an example, and at least a part of the above procedure may be deleted or changed, or a procedure other than the above may be added. Moreover, you may change the order of at least one part of the said procedure. For example, in the above description, when the enemy unit 9 is annihilated within the time limit, the ally army wins. However, the winning / losing determination method is not limited to this. For example, if the friendly team acquires a predetermined number of panels 5 within the time limit, if it defeats a predetermined number of enemy units 9 within the time limit, or if it defeats enemy boss units within the time limit, It may be a ally victory.

<5. Functional configuration related to temporary suspension of information processing device unit>
Next, with reference to FIG. 15 and FIGS. 16 to 20, an example of a functional configuration mainly related to the temporary stop of the unit among the functional configurations of the information processing apparatus 1 will be described. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the structure similar to above-mentioned FIG. 3, and description is abbreviate | omitted suitably. Similarly to FIG. 3 described above, in FIG. 15, signal lines (arrows) between the respective processing units and the touch panel unit 3 are partially omitted in order to prevent complexity. In addition, the arrow shown in FIG. 15 shows an example of the signal flow, and does not limit the signal flow direction.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the information processing apparatus 1 includes a unit time processing unit 43, a pause processing unit 45, and a win / loss determination processing unit 47 in addition to the touch panel unit 3, the unit movement processing unit 15, and the battle processing unit 19 described above. A unit display processing unit 49 and a notice display processing unit 51.

  The unit time processing unit 43 performs processing related to the waiting time of the ally unit 7 and the enemy unit 9. Here, the “standby time” is an elapsed time necessary for each unit 7 and 9 to start the next operation after the game starts or after the operation ends. This standby time is preset as a parameter for each unit. For example, a unit with high quickness is set to have a short standby time, and a unit with low quickness is set to have a long standby time. The unit time processing unit 43 operates the units 7 and 9 for each unit of the ally unit 7 and the enemy unit 9 until the standby time elapses after the start of the game or after the operation of the unit ends (in addition to movement, attacks, etc. (The same applies hereinafter) is stopped, and the operations of the units 7 and 9 are made possible after the standby time has elapsed.

  By the unit time processing unit 43, the ally unit 7 and the enemy unit 9 are not in an operable state each time the turn is switched as described above, for example, but each time the standby time set for each unit elapses. Are in a state where they can be operated at the same time, and operate simultaneously at the same time.

  While the user performs an operation of selecting the movement destination of the ally unit 7, the temporary stop processing unit 45 performs the operation (other than movement) of all enemy units 9 regardless of whether the unit time processing unit 43 can perform the operation. , Including all actions of units such as attacks, etc. (same below). Specifically, an operation in which the user touches a specific ally unit 7 via the touch panel unit 3 corresponds to an operation to specify the ally unit 7, and an operation to drag the specified ally unit 7 is a movement of the ally unit 7. The operation of selecting the destination (panel 5) corresponds to the operation of dropping the friend unit 7 at the selected destination, and the operation of determining the destination of the friend unit 7. And while the operation for selecting the movement destination of the ally unit 7 is being performed, the time from immediately after the user touches the specific ally unit 7 to the time immediately after the drop operation, that is, mainly the ally unit. 7 during the drag operation. During this time, the pause processing unit 45 temporarily stops the operations of all enemy units 9.

  Note that the period during which the enemy unit 9 is paused is not from the time immediately after the user touches the specific ally unit 7 but from the time immediately after the user starts the drag operation to the time immediately after the drop operation. It is good. In this case, the enemy unit 9 is not temporarily stopped after the touch operation until the drag operation is started.

  The temporary stop processing unit 45 temporarily stops the operation of the enemy unit 9 regardless of whether the unit time processing unit 43 can perform the operation. That is, even the enemy unit 9 that can be operated by the unit time processing unit 43 is temporarily unable to operate. Further, the movement of the moving enemy unit 9 is temporarily stopped on the panel 5 at the time when the user starts the operation of selecting the movement destination (when the user performs the touch operation).

  The enemy unit 9 whose operation is stopped by the unit time processing unit 43 is maintained in the operation stop state as it is by the temporary stop by the temporary stop processing unit 45. At this time, the unit time processing unit 43 continues counting the standby time of the enemy unit 9 even during the temporary stop by the temporary stop processing unit 45. Accordingly, the standby time of the enemy unit 9 may elapse during the temporary stop by the temporary stop processing unit 45, but even in this case, the enemy unit 9 cannot operate due to the temporary stop by the temporary stop processing unit 45. In this case, when the user finishes the operation of selecting the movement destination (when the drop operation is performed), the suspension by the suspension processing unit 45 is released, and the enemy unit 9 becomes operable immediately after that.

  Based on the processing result of the battle processing unit 19, the win / loss determination processing unit 47 performs processing related to the determination of the battle between the team and the enemy army. Specifically, as described above, when the enemy unit 9 is annihilated, the victory of the ally army is determined, and when the ally unit 7 is annihilated, the defeat of the ally army is determined. In the present embodiment, the time limit for playing the game is set in advance, and the win / loss determination processing unit 47 determines that the time limit has elapsed without the enemy unit 9 being completely annihilated after the start of the game. Determine the defeat.

  The win / loss determination processing unit 47 continues to count the time limit even when the enemy unit 9 is temporarily stopped by the temporary stop processing unit 45. As a result, by temporarily stopping the operation of the enemy unit 9 on the one hand, the user is given an opportunity to ponder the destination of the friendly unit 7 that is strategically advantageous, while on the other hand, the time limit is temporarily stopped. Also, real-time performance can be secured by continuing counting. As a result, it is possible to balance the elements as a strategy simulation game and the elements as an action puzzle game.

  In addition, you may provide the conditions which determine win / loss other than the above. For example, as described above, the winning / losing determination processing unit 47 determines that, in addition to the case where the enemy unit 9 is annihilated within the time limit, if the allied army acquires a predetermined number of panels 5 within the time limit, If a number of enemy units 9 are defeated, an enemy army boss unit is defeated within the time limit, or the like, the ally army victory may be determined. Further, for example, each of the ally army and the enemy army has a fort on the panel 5, and conquering the fort may be a condition for winning or losing.

  The unit display processing unit 49 performs processing related to the display of the friendly unit 7 and the enemy unit 9. Specifically, the unit display processing unit 49 distinguishes whether each unit of the ally unit 7 and the enemy unit 9 is in a state where it can be operated by the unit time processing unit 43 or in a state where the operation is stopped (that is, during the standby time). Display as possible.

  The display mode at this time is not particularly limited as long as the user can determine the state of the unit. For example, as shown in FIG. The units 7 and 9 in the operable state may be displayed in a normal color, and the units 7A and 9A in the operation stopped state (during the standby time) may be displayed in black. In FIG. 16, the blackened units 7A and 9A are indicated by hatching. Further, instead of or in addition to the above display mode, as shown in FIG. 16, a predetermined mark 53 (in this example, a stopwatch mark) indicating that the operation is stopped (during the standby time) is displayed on the corresponding unit. It may be displayed in the vicinity.

  In addition, the unit display processing unit 49 is in a state where an operation for specifying the friend unit 7 is performed by the user for each friend unit 7, a state where an operation for selecting the destination of the friend unit 7 is performed, and the friend unit 7 The three states of the operation for determining the destination of the movement are displayed so as to be distinguishable. That is, the unit display processing unit 49 is in a state in which the user performs a touch operation on the specific ally unit 7 via the touch panel unit 3, a state in which the ally unit 7 is dragged, and the ally unit in the destination panel 5. 7 is displayed in a distinguishable manner.

  Although the display mode at this time is not particularly limited, for example, as shown in FIG. 17A, a state where the user has performed a touch operation on the ally unit 7 and a state where the ally unit 7 has performed a stepping operation. May be displayed. In addition, as shown in FIG. 17B, a state where the user is dragging the ally unit 7 may be displayed as a state where the ally unit 7 performs a walking motion. Moreover, as shown in FIG.17 (c), you may display the state which the user performed drop operation of the friend unit 7 as the state which the friend unit 7 performed landing operation | movement.

  Returning to FIG. 15, the notice display processing unit 51 displays the notice of the position of the panel 5 (destination panel 5) to which the enemy unit 9 is about to move by the unit movement processing unit 15 before the enemy unit 9 moves. To do.

  The display mode at this time is not particularly limited as long as the user can determine the position of the panel 5 to which the enemy unit 9 is moved. For example, as shown in FIG. The contour of the destination panel 5 of the enemy unit 9 shown may be displayed thicker than the other panels 5. Alternatively, the color may be changed. Further, instead of or in addition to the above display mode, as shown in FIG. 18B, the thought of the enemy unit 9 to be moved may be displayed by, for example, a balloon 55. In the example shown in FIG. 18B, the enemy unit 9 activates the chain function by movement and attempts to pinch the friendly unit 7 (indicated as “chain attack” in the figure), and the thought is displayed. ing.

  Since the user can recognize the movement destination of the enemy unit 9 before actually moving by the notice display, for example, as shown in FIG. 18 (c), the friend unit 7 is moved immediately before the enemy unit 9 moves to attack. (In this example, pinching) can be avoided.

  Returning to FIG. 15, the unit movement processing unit 15 performs the processing described in FIG. 3 described above, and performs processing for adjusting the position of the ally unit 7 when a moving operation is performed by the user. Specifically, the unit movement processing unit 15 moves the ally unit 7 regardless of the panel 5 while the operation for selecting the destination of the ally unit 7 is being performed by the user, and during the operation of selecting the destination. When the movement of the ally unit 7 is stopped by the user, or when the operation for determining the movement destination is performed by the user, the operation for determining the position or the movement destination where the movement of the ally unit 7 is stopped is performed. The position of the ally unit 7 is adjusted and arranged on the panel 5 closest to the performed position.

  FIG. 19 shows an example of processing at this time. For example, as shown in FIG. 19A, the unit movement processing unit 15 does not affect the shape, size, arrangement, or the like of the panel 5 while the user is dragging the friend unit 7. The unit 7 is moved along a flexible route along the direction of the drag operation.

  Further, since the ally unit 7 is moved along a flexible route, for example, as shown in FIG. 19B, when the user performs a drop operation, the ally unit 7 does not fit in the destination panel 5B. Can occur. At this time, as shown in FIG. 19C, the unit movement processing unit 15 adjusts the position of the ally unit 7 on the panel 5B closest to the position where the user has performed the drop operation. Further, when the movement of the ally unit 7 is stopped, for example, at the position shown in FIG. 19B while the user is performing the drag operation, the unit movement processing unit 15 also performs FIG. As shown in c), the position of the ally unit 7 is adjusted and displayed on the panel 5B closest to the position where the ally unit 7 is stopped.

  In addition, as a determination method of the panel 5 closest to the position where the drop operation is performed or the position where the ally unit 7 is stopped, for example, the panel 5 in which the center position (center of gravity position) of the ally unit 7 is located inside, Although it is conceivable to use the panel 5 having the largest area of the portion inside the panel in the ally unit 7, other methods may be used.

  Further, the unit movement processing unit 15 is movable when the movement of the ally unit 7 is stopped by the user at a position that exceeds the movable range determined for each ally unit 7 during the operation of selecting the movement destination, or is movable. When the user performs an operation for determining the movement destination of the ally unit 7 at a position beyond the range, an operation for determining a position or a movement destination within the movable range and where the movement of the ally unit 7 is stopped is performed. The position of the ally unit 7 is adjusted and arranged on the panel 5 closest to the broken position.

  FIG. 20 shows an example of processing at this time. As described above, the movable distance is set as a parameter for the ally unit 7. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 20A, the movable distance of the ally unit 7 is 3 (3 as the number of panels). For this reason, the movable range of the ally unit 7 is a range 57 surrounded by a thick line in the figure.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 20 (b), when the user performs the drop operation of the ally unit 7 at a position beyond the movable range 57, the unit movement processing unit 15 is shown in FIG. 20 (c). As described above, the position of the ally unit 7 is adjusted and arranged on the panel 5 closest to the position where the drop operation is performed within the movable range 57. Further, when the movement of the ally unit 7 is stopped, for example, at the position shown in FIG. 20B while the user is performing the drag operation, the unit movement processing unit 15 also performs FIG. As shown in c), the position of the ally unit 7 is adjusted and displayed on the panel 5B closest to the position within the movable range 57 and where the ally unit 7 is stopped.

  In addition, as a determination method of the panel 5 closest to the position where the drop operation is performed or the position where the movement of the ally unit 7 is stopped, for example, the center position (center of gravity position) of the ally unit 7 and the center position of the panel 5 are determined. Although it is conceivable that the panel 5 is the shortest, etc., other methods may be used. For example, it may be determined in consideration of the moving direction of the ally unit 7 (the direction connecting the center position of the source panel 5 and the center position of the destination panel 5).

  In addition, since the process which the battle process part 19 performs is the same as the process described in the above-mentioned FIG. 3, description is abbreviate | omitted.

  Note that the processing in each processing unit described above is not limited to the example of sharing of these processing, and may be processed by, for example, a smaller number of processing units (for example, one processing unit), Further, it may be processed by a further subdivided processing unit. The functions of each processing unit described above are implemented by a game program executed by a CPU 101 (see FIG. 22) to be described later. For example, a part of them is a dedicated integrated circuit such as an ASIC or FPGA, and other electrical circuits. It may be implemented by an actual device such as a circuit.

<6. Processing procedures related to unit suspension>
Next, with reference to FIG. 21, an example of a processing procedure related to unit suspension executed by the CPU 101 of the information processing apparatus 1 will be described.

  In step S <b> 105, the information processing apparatus 1 causes the unit movement processing unit 15 to display the ally unit 7 and the enemy unit 9 on the predetermined panel 5.

  In step S110, the information processing apparatus 1 causes the notice display processing unit 51 to move the enemy unit 9 to the position of the panel 5 (movement destination panel 5) to which the enemy unit 9 is to move based on a predetermined algorithm. Prior notice is displayed.

  In step S115, the information processing apparatus 1 causes the unit movement processing unit 15 to move the enemy unit 9 to the destination panel 5 displayed in advance in step S110.

  In step S <b> 120, the information processing apparatus 1 determines whether or not the temporary stop processing unit 45 has performed an operation of selecting the movement destination of the ally unit 7. Specifically, the information processing apparatus 1 determines whether or not the user has performed a touch operation (or a drag operation) on a specific ally unit 7 via the touch panel unit 3. When the movement destination selection operation has not been performed (step S120: NO), the process returns to the previous step S105, and the procedure from step S105 to step S115 is repeated. On the other hand, if a destination selection operation has been performed (step S120: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S125.

  In step S <b> 125, the information processing apparatus 1 causes the temporary stop processing unit 45 to temporarily stop the operations of all enemy units 9 regardless of whether the unit time processing unit 43 can operate.

  In step S <b> 130, the information processing apparatus 1 determines whether the temporary stop processing unit 45 has performed an operation for determining the movement destination of the ally unit 7.

<8. Effects of the embodiment>
As described above, in the game of the present embodiment, the ally unit 7 is moved in units of panels according to the user's input operation on the plurality of panels 5 arranged in alignment, and the enemy unit 9 is determined by the game program. Moved in units of panels. At this time, each unit including the ally unit 7 and the enemy unit 9 is stopped until the standby time determined for each unit elapses after the game starts or after the operation of the unit ends, and operates after the standby time elapses. Is possible. That is, the ally unit 7 and the enemy unit 9 do not operate every time the turn is switched, for example, but operates in a mixed manner whenever the standby time set for each unit elapses.

  In such a game, when adding a strategy simulation element, the positional relationship between the ally unit 7 and the enemy unit 9 is strategically important. However, if the real-time nature of the game is pursued, the enemy unit 9 moves while the user selects the destination of the ally unit 7 and their positional relationship changes, and the user determines the destination. You might be confused without being able to. Furthermore, even when the user can determine the destination, the enemy unit 9 moves to the position immediately before the ally unit 7 is actually moved, and the ally unit 7 itself cannot be moved or the ally unit 7 can be moved. Immediately after the movement, the enemy unit 9 may move, and the user's strategy may become meaningless.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, while the operation for selecting the movement destination of the ally unit 7 is performed by the pause processing unit 45 by the user, all the enemy units 9 regardless of whether the unit time processing unit 43 can operate. Is temporarily stopped. As a result, the above-described problems can be solved, and the user can ponder the movement destination of the friendly unit 7 that is strategically advantageous without being confused by the operation of the enemy unit 9. Therefore, an action puzzle game having a strategy simulation element can be realized.

  In the present embodiment, the following effects can also be obtained. For example, when the game limit time is also stopped while the operation of the enemy unit 9 is stopped by the temporary stop processing unit 45, the user can ponder the moving destination of the ally unit 7 as long as possible, and the real-time property is lost. The fun as an action puzzle game is lost.

  In the present embodiment, the win / loss determination processing unit 47 continues counting the time limit even when the enemy unit 9 is temporarily stopped by the temporary stop processing unit 45, so that the user needs to quickly determine the movement destination of the ally unit 7. . By securing real-time properties in this way, it is possible to maintain the fun as an action puzzle game.

  On the one hand, the action of the enemy unit 9 is temporarily stopped to make use of the elements of the strategy simulation game. On the other hand, the time limit is allowed to pass as it is, so that the elements of the action puzzle game can be secured, and the balance between the two is maintained. Is possible.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, the unit time processing unit 43 continues to count the standby time even when the enemy unit 9 is temporarily stopped by the temporary stop processing unit 45.

  As a result, if the user takes time to select the movement destination of the ally unit 7, the enemy unit 9 cannot be operated due to the temporary stop, but for example, the standby of the enemy unit 9 whose operation has been stopped by the unit time processing unit 43. There is a possibility that the time elapses and the suspension is released and the operation is started. Therefore, it is preferable that the user quickly determines the destination of the ally unit 7. By securing real-time properties in this way, it is possible to maintain the fun as an action puzzle game.

  In this embodiment, in particular, the unit display processing unit 49 displays the units 7 and 9 so that they can be distinguished by the unit time processing unit 43 whether they are operable or stopped.

  As a result, it is possible to prevent an erroneous operation such as the user trying to operate the friend unit 7 whose operation is stopped by mistake. Therefore, user convenience can be improved. In addition, since the user can instantly determine whether the enemy unit 9 is operable or stopped, for example, it is possible to take a strategy such as attacking the enemy unit 9 whose operation is stopped to reliably damage the enemy unit 9. It becomes. Therefore, the strategy can be improved.

  Further, particularly in the present embodiment, the notice display processing unit 51 displays a notice of the position of the panel 5 to which the enemy unit 9 is about to move by the unit movement processing unit 15 before the enemy unit 9 moves.

  Thereby, the user can recognize the movement destination of the enemy unit 9 before actually moving. Therefore, for example, it is possible to avoid the attack by moving the ally unit 7 immediately before the enemy unit 9 moves (attack), and the strategy can be further improved.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, the unit movement processing unit 15 moves the ally unit 7 regardless of the panel 5 while the operation for selecting the destination is performed by the user, and during the operation for selecting the destination. When the movement of the ally unit 7 is stopped by the user, or when the operation for determining the movement destination is performed by the user, the operation for determining the position or the movement destination where the movement of the ally unit 7 is stopped is performed. The position of the ally unit 7 is adjusted and arranged on the panel 5 closest to the position.

  Thereby, the user moves the ally unit 7 along a flexible route without being affected by the shape, size, arrangement, etc. of the panel 5 while performing the operation of selecting the destination of the ally unit 7. Can do. In addition, since the ally unit 7 is arranged with the position adjusted on the panel 5 closest to the position where the operation for determining the destination is performed by the user, the user can change the shape, size, arrangement, etc. of the panel 5. It is possible to perform an operation of determining a destination at a flexible position without being conscious of it. Therefore, the intuitiveness of operation can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, the movement of the ally unit 7 is stopped by the user at a position exceeding the movable range 57 determined for each ally unit 7 during the operation in which the unit movement processing unit 15 selects the destination. Or when the user performs an operation to determine the destination of movement of the ally unit 7 at a position exceeding the movable range 57 determined for each ally unit 7, and within the movable range 57 and the ally unit. The position of the ally unit 7 is adjusted and arranged on the panel 5 closest to the position where the movement of 7 is stopped or the position where the movement destination is determined.

  Thus, even when the user erroneously performs an operation of determining the movement destination at a position exceeding the movable range 57 of the teammate unit 7 during the operation of selecting the movement destination of the teammate unit 7, The friend unit 7 can be automatically arranged on the panel 5 that best matches the user's desire. Therefore, since the user can perform the moving operation of the ally unit 7 without being conscious of the movable range 57 of the ally unit 7, the intuitiveness of the operation can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, the unit display processing unit 49 is in a state in which an operation for specifying the ally unit 7 is performed by the user, a state in which an operation for selecting the movement destination of the ally unit 7 is performed, and the ally unit 7 The three states, that is, the state in which the operation for determining the movement destination is performed, are displayed in a distinguishable manner.

  Thereby, a user's visual interest property can be improved.
