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

FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of a main part of an information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The player of the game in the information processing device 100 according to the present embodiment is one user (first player) and a player (second player) automatically operated by the information processing device 100. The information processing device 100 is, for example, a dedicated device capable of executing the game described below. Further, the information processing device 100 may be configured by using an electronic device such as a mobile phone or a tablet terminal.

The information processing device 100 inputs the storage unit 110, the field management unit 120, the control unit 130, the specific unit 140, the calculation unit 150, the win / loss determination unit 160, the skill management unit 170, and the display unit 180. A unit 190 is provided.

The storage unit 110 stores various information used for processing the game. The storage unit 110 stores a plurality of game media used by the player in the game and a plurality of parameters unique to each game medium. The game medium is electronic data used in the game, and includes, for example, cards, items, characters, avatars, and the like. Further, the game medium is electronic data that can be acquired, owned, used, managed, exchanged, synthesized, strengthened, sold, discarded, and / or donated by the player in the game according to the progress of the game. The usage mode of the game medium is not limited to that specified in the present specification. In the present specification, it will be described below assuming that the game medium is a character. The parameters unique to the game medium are the fighting power such as the attack power and the defense power of the game medium, the fighting means such as the attack means and the defense means of the game medium, the skill information described later of the game medium, and the information about the avatar of the game medium. These are attributes described later of the game medium, an index indicating the rarity of the game medium, and the like. The index indicating the rarity of the game medium may be represented by a hierarchy such as normal, rare, super rare, and ultra rare.

In addition, the storage unit 110 stores skill information associated with the character. Details of skill information will be described later. Further, the storage unit 110 may store points associated with each player used in the progress of the game. The points associated with each player are, for example, a virtual physical strength value (HP) in the game associated with the player, an action force used for the progress of the player's game, and the like. The physical strength value associated with the player increases or decreases as the game progresses. The physical strength value associated with the player may be increased or decreased based on the parameters of the game medium. The victory or defeat of the game is determined by the victory or defeat determination unit 160 as described later based on the physical strength value associated with the player. The action force associated with the player is a point necessary for the player to advance the game. As the player progresses the game, the action force associated with the player decreases according to the progressed content. The player cannot advance the game when the action power associated with the player becomes 0 or less. A player who is unable to advance the game may be determined as a loser of the game by the win / loss determination unit 160. When starting a game, the storage unit 110 stores each player in the game in association with a plurality of game media selected by each player.

The field management unit 120 manages information about the fields displayed on the display unit 180. Each player advances the game by arranging a character in each area of this field.

The information about the field managed by the field management unit 120 is the character and the parameter state of the character arranged in each area of the field. The field management unit 120 manages the character and the parameter state of the character in association with each of the field areas.

The parameter state is expressed by various methods on the display unit 180. The parameter state may be represented by the color of the displayed character. In this case, the character associated with each parameter state is displayed in a state in which colors such as white and black are added for each parameter state. The parameter state may be represented by the shape of the displayed character. In this case, the character associated with each parameter state is displayed in the shape of a robot type, a human type, a beast type, or the like for each parameter state. The parameter state may be represented by an index attached to a part of the displayed character. In this case, the character associated with each parameter state is displayed with a sign such as a coat of arms or a flag for each parameter state. The parameter state may be represented by the direction of the displayed character. In this case, the character associated with each parameter state is displayed in a state facing each direction such as up, down, left, and right on the field for each parameter state.

The control unit 130 is a processor that controls and manages the entire information processing device 100, including each functional block of the information processing device 100. The control unit 130 is composed of a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) that executes a program that defines a game control procedure. Such a program is stored in the storage unit 110 or an external storage medium. In addition, the control unit 130 can automatically operate the second player in the game.

Further, the control unit 130 corresponds to the area designated by the attacking player with information on the character designated by the attacking player and the parameter state when the player arranges the character based on the designation of the attacking player. Attached and stored (stored) in the table of the field management unit 120. In the present specification, the attacking player means a player who places a character in a certain turn. A player who does not place a character in that turn is called a defending player. The table of the field management unit 120 will be described with reference to FIG. 4, which will be described later. Further, the parameter state will be described later, but in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the first parameter is associated with the user who is the first player.

In the turn in which the user (first player) of the information processing device 100 becomes the attacking player, the user uses the input unit 190 to specify the character and the area in which the character is arranged. Then, the control unit 130 stores the designated character as a character in the row of the designated area in the table of the field management unit 120. Further, the control unit 130 stores the first parameter state corresponding to the user as the parameter state. Further, in the turn in which the player (second player) automatically operated by the information processing device 100 becomes the attacking player, the control unit 130 specifies the character and the area in which the character is arranged. Next, the control unit 130 stores the character specified by itself as a character in the row of the area specified by itself in the table of the field management unit 120. Further, the control unit 130 stores the second parameter state corresponding to the second player as the parameter state in the row of the area designated by the field management unit 120 in the table.

Further, the control unit 130 converts the parameter state associated with the specific area specified by the specific unit 140, which will be described later, in the table of the field management unit 120. The specific area is an area having a predetermined positional relationship with respect to the area specified by the attacking player, and is different from the parameter state of the character arranged by the attacking player in the table of the field management unit 120 of FIG. The area associated with the parameter state. When the first player is the attacking player, the character placed by the attacking player is in the first parameter state. Therefore, the specific area is an area having a predetermined positional relationship with respect to the area designated by the attacking player, and is an area associated with the second parameter state in the table of the field management unit 120.

The conversion of the parameter state performed by the control unit 130 is performed by converting the parameter state associated with the specific area into the parameter state of the character arranged by the attacking player. When the parameter state is converted, the parameter in the parameter state after conversion becomes valid, and the parameter in the parameter state before conversion becomes invalid.

Further, when the control unit 130 stores the character and parameter state information in the table of the field management unit 120, the skill information associated with the character stored in the table of the field management unit 120 is stored in the skill management described later. Register in section 170. Skill information is an example of information (ability information) related to unique abilities associated with each character. Hereinafter, the ability information will be described as being the skill information of the character, but the ability information is not limited to the skill information, and any other information regarding the unique ability associated with the character. Can be. Skill information exerts a predetermined effect on the progress of the game. All characters may be associated with some skill information. Further, only some characters may be associated with skill information. Further, the control unit 130 executes a process related to the skill information registered in the skill management unit 170 based on a predetermined condition.

The specific unit 140 specifies a specific area. The relationship between the areas for specifying the specific area can be arbitrary. In the game of the information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment, the specific unit 140 specifies a specific area as shown below.

First, the specific unit 140 generates a predetermined axis passing through the area designated by the attacking player on the field. The direction of the axes can be arbitrary, and in the present specification, the specific unit 140 generates four axes, that is, the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, the upper right direction, and the lower right direction. Next, the specific unit 140 extracts an area (same parameter area) associated with the same parameter state as the parameter state of the character arranged by the attacking player in the table of the field management unit 120. The specific unit 140 determines the same parameter area that satisfies the condition that the character is separated from the area where the character is arranged along the generated axis. The identification unit 140 specifies an area sandwiched between the area where the attacking player has placed the character and the area determined by the above method as a specific area.

When the attacking player places a character, the calculation unit 150 determines the physical strength value associated with the defending player based on the valid parameters of the placed character and the valid parameters of the character existing in the specific area. Is calculated. In the present embodiment, the calculation unit 150 is based on, in particular, the valid parameters of the arranged character and the valid parameters of the character existing in the specific area, as well as the valid parameters of the character associated with the same parameter area. , Calculate the physical strength value associated with the defending player. The calculation method performed by the calculation unit 150 is an arbitrary method. In the present embodiment, the calculation unit 150 calculates the difference between the total value of the character parameters associated with the attacking player and the character parameters associated with the defending player as damage. The calculation unit 150 calculates the physical strength value associated with the defending player by subtracting the calculated damage from the physical strength value associated with the defending player.

The winning / losing determination unit 160 determines whether or not the winning / losing of the game has been determined each time the calculation unit 150 calculates the physical strength value associated with the player. The win / loss determination unit 160 determines the win / loss based on the physical strength value associated with the player. The victory / defeat determination unit 160 may determine a player having a high physical strength value as a winner at a predetermined stage of the progress of the game. Further, the winning / losing determination unit 160 may determine the player whose physical strength value associated with the player is 0 or less as the loser. In this case, the victory / defeat determination unit 160 determines whether or not the physical strength value associated with the defending player is 0 or less. When the physical strength value associated with the defending player becomes 0 or less, the winning / losing determination unit 160 determines the defending player as the loser and the attacking player as the winner, and ends the game. Hereinafter, in the present specification, the winning / losing determination unit 160 will be described as determining the player whose physical strength value associated with the player is 0 or less as the loser.

The winner determined by the win / loss determination unit 160 is not limited to the attacking player. When the attacking player places the character, the effect of the skill of the defending player's character occurs, and the physical strength value associated with the attacking player may be 0 or less. Further, when the attacking player arranges the character, the effect of the event described later occurs in the arranged area, and the physical strength value associated with the attacking player may become 0 or less. In these cases, the victory / defeat determination unit 160 determines the attacking player whose physical strength value is 0 or less as the loser and the defending player whose physical strength value is greater than 0 as the winner.

The skill management unit 170 manages skill information. The skill management unit 170 has a table as described later with reference to FIG. 7.

As described above, when the attacking player arranges the character in the field, the control unit 130 registers the skill information associated with the arranged character in the table of the skill management unit 170. The skill information is registered in the table of the skill management unit 170 in association with the player in which the character is placed. The skill associated with the character arranged by the first player as the attacking player is registered in the column of the first player in the table of the skill management unit 170. Further, the skill associated with the character arranged by the second player as the attacking player is registered in the second player column of the table of the skill management unit 170. The player can use the skill by registering the skill information in the table of the skill management unit 170. Therefore, after arranging the character, each player can use the skill associated with the character.

The display unit 180 is a display device such as a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, or an inorganic EL display. The display unit 180 displays information managed by the table of the field management unit 120 of FIG. 4 and information managed by the table of the skill management unit 170 of FIG. 7, together with the fields used for the game.

The input unit 190 receives an operation input from the user. The input unit 190 may be composed of operation buttons (operation keys). When the information processing device 100 has a touch panel, the touch panel functions as an input unit 190 by detecting contact between a user's finger and a stylus pen and accepting an operation input. The user uses the input unit 190 to specify a character to be placed in the field, an area on the field, and the like.

Next, an outline of a game that can be executed by the information processing device 100 according to the present embodiment will be described. In the game executed by the information processing device 100, the first and second players having a certain point arrange the game media in order in the area on the field displayed on the display unit 180 where the characters are not arranged. .. Each character has a number of unique parameters. In this embodiment, each character has two parameters, a first parameter and a second parameter. Each character is placed on the field with either the first or second parameter enabled. When the first player arranges the character, the character is arranged in a state in which the first parameter is enabled (first parameter state). When the second player arranges the character, the character is arranged in a state in which the second parameter is enabled (second parameter state). The two players arrange the characters in order. Therefore, the attacking player and the defending player are switched for each turn.

When the player arranges the character in a predetermined area, the information processing device 100 has a predetermined positional relationship with respect to the predetermined area in which the character is arranged, and the character in the parameter state different from the parameter state of the arranged character is arranged. Identify the specific area that has been created. Here, the parameter state is a state relating to which of the plurality of (first or second) parameters is valid. Therefore, when the first player arranges the character in a predetermined area as the attacking player, the information processing device 100 has a predetermined positional relationship with respect to the predetermined area in which the character is arranged, and the second parameter state. Specify the specific area where the character of is placed. The predetermined positional relationship can be any positional relationship. The predetermined positional relationship in the present embodiment is a positional relationship that exists at a distance along a predetermined axis in the field with respect to the area in which the character is arranged. A method for specifying a specific region based on this predetermined positional relationship will be described later in the description of FIG.

The information processing device 100 calculates the physical strength value associated with the defending player based on the parameters valid for the character arranged by the attacking player and the parameters valid for the character in the specified specific area. When the first player is the attacking player, the information processing device 100 is based on the first parameter of the character arranged by the first player and the second parameter of the character in the specified specific area. The physical strength value associated with the second player is calculated.

The calculation of the physical strength value associated with the second player is performed by subtracting the difference between the parameters of the second character and the parameter of the first character from the physical strength value before the calculation of the second player as damage. conduct. The uncalculated physical strength value of the second player is "100", the first parameter of the character placed by the first player is "30", and the second parameter of the character in the specified specific area is "30". It is assumed to be "20". In this case, the difference "10" of the parameter "20" of the second character with respect to the parameter "30" of the first character is subtracted from the physical strength value "100" before the calculation of the second player as damage. In this way, the physical strength value "90" associated with the second player is calculated. If the difference is 0 or less, the physical strength value associated with the defending player does not decrease.

Further, the information processing device 100 converts the parameter state of the character in the specific area into the parameter state of the character arranged by the attacking player. In the above example, the character in the specific area has the second parameter enabled. At this time, the attacking player arranges the character for which the first parameter is valid in the above-mentioned predetermined area. As a result, the information processing apparatus 100 activates the first parameter of the character in the specific area. At this time, the second parameter of the character in the specific area is invalidated.

The two players reduce each other's physical strength value by repeating attack and defense for each turn. When the physical strength value associated with either player becomes 0 or less, the game ends. At this time, the player whose physical strength value is 0 or less is the loser of the game, and the player whose physical strength value is larger than 0 is the winner of the game.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a field used in the game according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the field used in the game according to the present embodiment is a rectangular shape of 4 rows × 6 columns having 24 regions. In the description of this embodiment, each row of the field is the first row to the fourth row in order from the bottom. Further, each column of the field is the column a to the ff in order from the left. Further, one area is specified by a combination of a number indicating a row and a lowercase alphabet indicating a column. Each region of the top row of the field shown in FIG. 2 is shown as a4, b4, c4, d4, e4 and f4 in order from the left.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the state of the field in which the character is arranged as the game progresses. In this specification, each character is represented by an uppercase alphabet. In addition, the parameter state of each character is represented by numbers enclosed in parentheses. “E (1)” indicates that the character “E” is placed on the field in the first parameter state. Further, "J (2)" indicates that the character "J" is arranged on the field in the second parameter state.

FIG. 4 is a diagram schematically showing an example of the field management unit 120. The field management unit 120 has a table as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, each area of the table is associated with a character and its parameter state and stored.

The table shown in FIG. 4 shows a table when the field is in the state shown in FIG. With reference to the area b2 of FIG. 3, the character E is arranged in the first parameter state. This state on the field is realized by storing the data of the character "E" and its parameter state "1" in the row of the area "b2" in the table of the field management unit 120 of FIG. As this data shows, character E has the first parameter state enabled. Further, the character F in the second parameter state arranged in the area d1 of FIG. 3 is the character “F” in the row of the area “d1” and its parameter state “2” in the table of the field management unit 120 in FIG. It is stored as data. As this data shows, character F has a second parameter state enabled. Further, in the area (for example, area a1) in which the character is not yet arranged in FIG. 3, data is not stored in the character and parameter state columns in the table of the field management unit 120 in FIG.

FIG. 5 is a diagram schematically showing an example of a method of specifying a specific region by the specific unit 140. Here, it is assumed that the first player specifies that the character K is arranged in the area d4 in the state of FIG. At this time, the character K and the first parameter are associated with the area d4 and stored in the table of the field management unit 120.

First, the identification unit 140 generates four axes passing through the region d4, as shown by the arrows in FIG. 5 (a). Next, the specific unit 140 refers to the table of the field management unit 120 shown in FIG. As a result, the specific unit 140 extracts the region associated with the same first parameter state as the character K. In this way, the specific unit 140 extracts the area b2, the area d2, and the e1 as the same parameter area, as shown by shading in FIG. 5 (b). Since the parameter state of the character K is the first parameter, the same parameter area is the first parameter area. The specific unit 140 determines a first parameter region that satisfies the condition of being separated from the region d4 along the generated axis. In FIG. 5B, the specific unit 140 determines the area b2 and the area d2 as the first parameter area that satisfies the condition. Since the region e1 is not along the generated axis, the condition is not satisfied. As shown by diagonal lines in FIG. 5C, the identification unit 140 specifies the region c3 sandwiched between the regions d4 and b2 and the region d3 sandwiched between the regions d4 and the region d2 as specific regions. Since the region d1 is not sandwiched between the regions d4 and the region d2, the region d1 is not specified as a specific region. When there are a plurality of sandwiched regions, the specific unit 140 specifies all of the plurality of regions as specific regions.

Next, with reference to FIG. 6, the calculation of the physical strength value performed by the calculation unit 150 will be described using specific numerical values. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a calculation method by the calculation unit 150.

In FIG. 6A, the character B in which the second parameter is valid and the character C in which the first parameter is valid are arranged in the field in advance. In this state, the calculation of the physical strength value when the first player places the character A on the field as the attacking player will be described. Here, it is assumed that the first parameter of the character A is 20, the second parameter of the character B is 40, and the first parameter of the character C is 30. Further, it is assumed that the physical strength value associated with the defending player is "300".

When the first player arranges the character A, the character A is in a state in which the first parameter is valid. At this time, the area associated with the character B is sandwiched between the areas associated with the characters A and C, respectively. Therefore, the area associated with the character B is specified as a specific area by the specific unit 140. In this case, the calculation unit 150 first calculates the total value "50" of the first parameter "20" of the character A and the first parameter "30" of the character C. Next, the difference "10" between the total value "50" and the second parameter "40" of the character B is calculated. The calculation unit 150 subtracts the difference "10" as the damage from the physical strength value "300" associated with the defending player, so that the physical strength value "290" associated with the defending player as the calculation result is obtained. Is calculated. When the difference is 0 or less, the calculation unit 150 does not change the physical strength value associated with the defending player. That is, the damage to the defending player is "0".

In FIG. 6B, the character B in which the second parameter is valid, the character C in which the second parameter is valid, and the character D in which the first parameter is valid are arranged in the field in advance. In this state, the calculation of the physical strength value when the first player places the character A on the field as the attacking player will be described. It is assumed that the first parameter of the character A is 20, the second parameter of the character B is 40, the second parameter of the character C is 50, and the first parameter of the character D is 60. Further, it is assumed that the physical strength value associated with the defending player is "300".

When the first player arranges the character A, the character A is in a state in which the first parameter is valid. At this time, the area associated with the characters B and C is sandwiched between the areas associated with the characters A and D, respectively. Therefore, the area associated with the characters B and C is specified as a specific area by the specific unit 140. When a plurality of continuous areas are specified as specific areas in this way, the calculation unit 150 defends based on each of the valid parameters of the arranged character and the valid parameters of the character existing in the specific area. Calculate the physical strength value associated with the side player.

First, the calculation unit 150 calculates a total value "80" of the first parameter "20" of the character A and the first parameter "60" of the character D. Next, the difference "40" between the total value "80" and the second parameter "40" of the character B existing in one of the specific areas is calculated. Next, the calculation unit 150 calculates the difference "30" between the total value "80" and the second parameter "50" of the character C existing in another specific area. Next, the calculation unit 150 corresponds to the defending player as the calculation result by subtracting all the differences "40" and "30" as the damage from the physical strength value "300" associated with the defending player. The attached physical strength value "230" is calculated.

When a plurality of continuous regions are specified as specific regions as shown in FIG. 6B, the calculation unit 150 may increase the damage given to the defending player by a predetermined ratio. The predetermined ratio can be any ratio. In the present embodiment, the calculation unit 150 may perform a calculation of multiplying the calculated difference by a multiple of the number of continuous specific regions, and use the calculation result as damage. In FIG. 6B, two specific regions are continuous. In this case, the calculation unit 150 calculates the calculation results of "80" and "60" obtained by multiplying the calculated differences "40" and "30" by 2, respectively. The calculation unit 150 is associated with the defending player as the calculation result by subtracting the calculation results "80" and "60" as the damage from the physical strength value "300" associated with the defending player. Gain a health value of "160". In this way, when a plurality of continuous areas are specified as specific areas, the damage given to the defending player is increased by a predetermined rate. This diversifies the strategy in order to inflict greater damage on the opponent player.

The increase in damage is not limited to cases where multiple contiguous areas are identified as specific areas. By arranging one character, the attacking player may specify a specific area in the direction of two or more axes. In this case, the calculation unit 150 may increase the damage given to the defending player by a predetermined rate. The predetermined ratio may vary depending on the number of axes in which the particular region has been identified. When a specific area is specified in the direction of the two axes, the calculation unit 150 may double the damage. When a specific area is specified in the direction of the three axes, the calculation unit 150 may triple the damage. When a specific area is specified in the direction of the four axes, the calculation unit 150 may quadruple the damage. The predetermined rate of increasing the damage is not limited to the above-mentioned multiple.

Further, the calculation unit 150 may change the rate of increase according to the relationship between the axes of the specified specific region. When a specific region is specified in the direction in which the two axes are orthogonal to each other, the calculation unit 150 may increase the damage at the first rate. When a specific region is specified in a direction in which the two axes are not orthogonal to each other, the calculation unit 150 may increase the damage at a second rate. The second ratio is different from the first ratio. The second ratio may be greater than the first ratio. Further, the second ratio may be smaller than the first ratio.

Further, the calculation unit 150 may increase the damage at a predetermined rate according to the arrangement when the specific area has a predetermined arrangement. In this case, the calculation unit 150 can change the rate of increasing the damage according to the arrangement of the specific area.

Up to this point, the case where the calculation unit 150 increases the damage has been described, but the calculation unit 150 may reduce the damage at a predetermined rate when the specific area satisfies a predetermined condition. Under any of the above-mentioned conditions described as increasing the damage, the calculation unit 150 may reduce the damage.

FIG. 7 is a diagram schematically showing an example of the skill management unit 170. The skill management unit 170 has a table as shown in FIG. 7. The table of the skill management unit 170 has a character, skill information associated with each character, and information on a skill usage state for each player.

Α1 to α5 and β1 to β5 as skill information shown in FIG. 7 are specific skill contents. The skill information includes changing the physical strength value associated with the player. The fluctuation of the physical strength value associated with the player is to increase or decrease the physical strength value associated with the predetermined player.

Further, the skill information includes changing the parameters associated with the character when the calculation unit 150 performs the calculation in each turn. Parameter variation is to increase or decrease the parameters of a given character.

Further, the skill information includes converting any of the parameter states managed by the field management unit 120. The conversion of the parameter state is the conversion of the parameter state of the region where the parameter state is "1" to "2" in the table of the field management unit 120 shown in FIG. 4, or vice versa. Therefore, the transformation of the parameter state transforms the enabled parameters of the character.

Further, the skill information includes changing the correspondence between the area managed by the field management unit 120 and the character. In the table of the field management unit 120 shown in FIG. 4, the correspondence relationship is changed by associating a character associated with a certain area with another area. By changing the correspondence, the area that is not associated with the character is associated with the character that was associated with the other area. In that case, in the field shown in FIG. 3, the character moves from the previously associated area to the newly associated area.

Further, the skill information includes changing the area managed by the field management unit 120 to a state in which it is not associated with any character. By changing the predetermined area of the table of the field management unit 120 of FIG. 4 to a state in which it is not associated with any character, in the field shown in FIG. 3, no character is arranged in the predetermined area. It becomes.

The skill may be one that is automatically used when the player places the character on the field. In addition, the skill may be automatically used when a predetermined condition is met. In addition, the skill may be one that the player can use in any turn. Also, each skill can only be used once.

In the table of the skill management unit 170 of FIG. 7, information indicating the state related to the use of each skill is registered in the column of the skill use state. When the skill information is registered in the table of the skill management unit 170 by the control unit 130, the control unit 130 registers "OK" indicating that the skill can be used in the skill use state. A player can use a skill whose skill usage status is "OK".

When the skill is used, the control unit 130 registers "done" in the skill use state. A skill whose skill usage status is "Done" cannot be used because it has been used once.

Further, when the control unit 130 converts the parameter state of the character associated with the skill whose skill use state is "possible" in the table of the field management unit 120, the control unit 130 changes to the skill use state of the table of the skill management unit 170. Register as "impossible". When the control unit 130 converts the parameter state, the character whose parameter state is converted is associated with another player. Therefore, the control unit 130 registers the skill use state as "impossible", so that the skill associated with the character whose parameter state is converted cannot be used.

The control unit 130 uses the skill when the parameter of the character having the skill is converted again for the skill once registered as "impossible" in the skill use state, and the character is associated with the original player again. You may re-register "OK" in the state. This allows the player to use this skill. The control unit 130 uses the skill even if the character is associated with the original player again as a result of the parameters of the character having the skill being converted again for the skill once registered as "impossible" in the skill use state. The state may be left "impossible". As a result, the skill of the character whose parameters have been converted once becomes unusable after that.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a game screen displayed on the display unit 180. As shown in FIG. 8, the game screen 200 has player display units 211 and 212, character display units 221 and 222, skill display units 231 and 232, physical strength value display units 241 and 242, and field display units 250. And have.

Player display units 211 and 212 indicate players of this game. The first player (user) is displayed on the player display unit 211. Further, a second player (a player operated by the information processing device 100) is displayed on the player display unit 212.

The character display units 221 and 222 display characters that can be arranged by each player. The character display unit 221 displays a character that can be arranged by the first player, and the character display unit 222 displays a character that can be arranged by the second player. Further, the character display units 221 and 222 do not have to display the characters that the player has already placed in the field.

Further, the character display unit 222 displays the character information of a part of the characters (for example, two characters in FIG. 8) of the second player in which the first player is competing in the game, and the character information of the other characters. Does not have to be displayed. The character information includes the character name or the first and second parameters of the character. The character display unit 222 may display character information of all characters. Further, the character display unit 222 may hide the character information of all the characters.

The skill display units 231 and 232 display skill information that can be used by the first player and the second player, respectively. The skill display units 231 and 232 display skill information in which the "skill use state" is "possible" in the table of the skill management unit 170 shown in FIG. 7. Therefore, the skill can be newly used by the player arranging the character. Further, when the skill is registered in the table of the skill management unit 170 as a usable state, the skill display units 231 and 232 newly display the skill information. Further, in the table of the skill management unit 170, when the "skill use state" of the skill changes from the "possible" state to the "impossible" or "completed" state, the skill information of the skill is displayed in the skill display unit 231 and. It is erased from 232.

The physical strength value display units 241 and 242 display the physical strength values associated with the first player and the second player, respectively. The physical strength value display units 241 and 242 can display the physical strength value as a rod-shaped indicator, but the display of the physical strength value is not limited to this. The physical strength value display units 241 and 242 may display the physical strength value as a numerical value.

The field display unit 250 displays the fields used in the game, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.

Next, the progress of the game executed by the information processing device 100 will be described.

9 to 12 are diagrams for explaining a progress example of the game. At the start of the game, each player selects 12 characters to be used. At this time, the user (first player) uses the input unit 190 to select 12 characters from the characters stored in the storage unit 110. The control unit 130 stores, for example, the selected character in the storage unit 110.

In the game progress example described below, it is assumed that the order of the characters arranged by the second player is predetermined by the information processing device 100. Further, it is assumed that the character information of the character arranged by the second player is displayed on the character display unit 222 up to the previous two turns. As a result, the first player (user) can know the character information arranged by the second player up to two minions. The order of the characters arranged by the second player may not be determined in advance. Further, all the character information of the character arranged by the second player may be displayed or hidden on the character display unit 222.

At the start of the game, on the game screen 200, as shown in FIG. 9, the characters selected by each player are shown on the character display units 221 and 222. First, the user uses the input unit 190 to select two characters to be initially placed in the field. Here, it is assumed that the user has selected characters A and D. Then, the control unit 130 stores the selected character, the selected character, and the parameter state in the field management unit 120, so that the character is displayed in the center of the field on the game screen 200 as shown in FIG. Is displayed. The characters of the second player are selected in a predetermined order and placed in the field. In addition, the control unit 130 registers the skill information in the skill management unit 170 along with the placement of the character in the field. As a result, the skills available to each player are displayed on the skill display units 231 and 232 of the game screen 200.

Next, as the first turn, the attacking player, the user (first player), places the character on the field. The user uses the input unit 190 to specify the character to be placed and the area to be placed. Here, it is assumed that the user has specified that the character E is arranged in the area b2.

The control unit 130 stores the character E as the first parameter state in the field management unit 120 according to the user's designation. At this time, the control unit 130 registers the skill α3 possessed by the character E in the “skill use state” of the skill management unit 170. Then, the specific unit 140 specifies a specific area. Here, the specific unit 140 specifies the area c2 as a specific area. Next, the calculation unit 150 calculates the physical strength value associated with the second player. Here, it is assumed that the user specifies to use the skill α1 by using the input unit 190. It is assumed that the skill α1 doubles the parameter of a predetermined character during one turn. When the user specifies that the parameter of the character E is doubled by the effect of the skill α1, the calculation unit 150 calculates the physical strength value by applying the effect of the skill α1 and stores the calculation result in the storage unit 110. To memorize. Further, the control unit 130 changes the "skill use state" of the skill management unit 170 from the "possible" state to the "finished" state according to the use of the skill α1 by the user. When the calculation unit 150 completes the calculation of the physical strength value, the control unit 130 changes the parameter state associated with the character C from "2" to "1" in the field management unit 120. The control unit 130 changes the "skill use state" of the skill management unit 170 from the "possible" state to the "impossible" state for the skill β2 associated with the character C whose parameter state has been changed.

FIG. 11 is a game screen when the process relating to the first turn of the first player is completed. As shown in the field display unit 250, the character E is arranged in the area b2. Further, the parameter state of the character C arranged in the specific area c2 is converted into the first parameter state. As a result, the second player can no longer use the skill β2, so that the display of the skill β2 is deleted from the skill display unit 232. Further, since the first player uses the skill α1, the display of the skill α1 is deleted from the skill display unit 231. Further, since the character E is arranged in the field, the display of the skill α3 associated with the character E is added to the skill display unit 231. As a result of the calculation of the physical strength value by the calculation unit 150, as shown in the physical strength value display unit 242, the physical strength value associated with the second player is reduced.

In this way, when the processing of the turn of the first player is completed, the second player next specifies the character and the field as the attacking player. It is assumed that the second player specifies that the predetermined character F is arranged in the area d1. Then, the control unit 130 stores the character F as a second parameter state in the field management unit 120 according to the designation. At this time, the control unit 130 registers the skill β3 possessed by the character F in the “skill use state” of the skill management unit 170. Next, the specific unit 140 specifies a specific area. Here, the specific unit 140 specifies the area d2 as a specific area. The calculation unit 150 calculates the physical strength value associated with the first player, and stores the calculation result in the storage unit 110. When the calculation unit 150 completes the calculation of the physical strength value, the control unit 130 changes the parameter state associated with the character D from "1" to "2" in the field management unit 120. The control unit 130 changes the "skill use state" of the skill management unit 170 from the "possible" state to the "impossible" state for the skill α2 associated with the character D whose parameter state has been changed.

FIG. 12 is a game screen when the process related to the turn of the second player is completed. As shown in the field display unit 250, the character F is arranged in the area d1, and the parameter state of the character D arranged in the specific area d2 is converted into the second parameter state. As a result, the first player can no longer use the skill α2, so that the display of the skill α2 is deleted from the skill display unit 231. Further, since the character F is arranged in the field, the display of the skill β3 associated with the character F is added to the skill display unit 232. As a result of the calculation of the physical strength value by the calculation unit 150, the physical strength value associated with the first player is reduced as shown in the physical strength value display unit 241.

When the turn of the second player is completed, the first player again designates the character and the area as the attacking player. By repeating this, the player fluctuates the physical strength value of the opponent. The player whose physical strength value of the opponent is set to 0 or less first becomes the winner of the game.

Next, the operation of the information processing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of processing performed by the information processing apparatus 100 of FIG.

At the start of the game, first, the control unit 130 accepts the selection of the character to be used by each player in the game from each player (step S101). The control unit 130 stores the received character in the storage unit 110 (step S102).

The control unit 130 receives from each player the selection of the character initially placed in the field at the start of the game (step S103). The control unit 130 stores the received initial arrangement character in the field management unit 120 (step S104).

The control unit 130 designates the first attacking player (step S105). The control unit 130 can specify the first attacking player by any method. The control unit 130 may randomly specify the first attacking player each time the user starts the game. Further, the control unit 130 may specify the first attacking player according to the input of the user.

Subsequently, the control unit 130 requests the attacking player to specify the character to be arranged in the field and the area to be arranged (step S106). When the user is an attacking player, the control unit 130 may request the designation by displaying a screen prompting the designation on the display unit 180.

When the attacking player designates a character and an area, the control unit 130 accepts the designation of the character and the area (step S107). The control unit 130 stores the received character and area in the field management unit 120 (step S108). When the designated character has a skill, the control unit 130 registers the skill information of the skill in the skill management unit 170 (step S109).

The identification unit 140 identifies a specific area based on the information stored in the field management unit 120 (step S110). Based on the specific area specified by the specific unit 140, the calculation unit 150 calculates the physical strength value associated with the defending player (step S111).

The control unit 130 changes the parameter state of the character associated with the specific area in the field management unit 120 (step S112). At this time, if the skill management unit 170 has an available skill associated with the character whose parameter state has been changed, the control unit 130 registers and changes the skill to the unusable state.

The victory / defeat determination unit 160 determines whether or not the physical strength value associated with the defending player is 0 or less (step S113).

When the victory / defeat determination unit 160 determines that the physical strength value associated with the defending player is greater than 0 (No in step S113), the control unit 130 swaps the designations of the attacking player and the defending player (No). Step S114).

The control unit 130 requests the attacking player to specify the character to be placed in the field and the area to be placed (step S106). In this way, the information processing device 100 repeats steps S106 to S113 until the winning / losing determination unit 160 determines that the physical strength value associated with the defending player is 0 or less.

When the victory / defeat determination unit 160 determines that the physical strength value associated with the defending player is 0 or less (Yes in step S113), the control unit 130 determines the attacking player when such a determination is made. The winner of this game is determined (step S115).

As described above, according to the information processing device 100 according to the present embodiment, the specific area is specified based on the character arranged by the player and the parameter state thereof. Then, the physical strength value associated with the player is changed based on the parameters of the arranged character and the character in the specific area. Then, the victory or defeat of the game is determined according to whether or not the physical strength value becomes 0 or less. That is, the magnitude of damage given to the player varies depending on the value indicated by the parameter of the character and the area in which the character is arranged. Therefore, in order to inflict more damage on the opponent player, the user needs to consider the area to be arranged together with the parameters of the character. Therefore, according to the information processing device 100, it is possible to diversify the strategic nature of the game and improve the interest. In the game provided by the information processing device 100, even if the value of the parameter of the character first selected by the player is high, the damage given to the opponent player varies depending on the arrangement of the characters performed by the player. Therefore, it is possible to diversify the strategic nature of the game and improve the interest of the game by arranging the characters.

Further, since each character has a plurality of parameters and the parameters are converted according to the positional relationship of the arranged characters, the user can be associated not only with the parameters associated with himself / herself but also with other players. The game progresses by deciding the arrangement of the characters while considering a plurality of parameters. Therefore, according to the information processing device 100, it is possible to diversify the strategic nature of the game and improve the interest.

In addition, the calculation of the physical strength value is performed in the same parameter state as the character placed by the player and the character placed by the player placed in the field in advance, sandwiching a character in another parameter state different from the character placed by the player. Executed based on the character's parameters. Therefore, the user decides the arrangement of the characters while considering the arrangement and the parameters of the characters arranged in the field in advance, and proceeds with the game. Therefore, according to the information processing device 100, it is possible to diversify the strategic nature of the game and improve the interest.

In addition, by using the skill possessed by the character during the game, an effect corresponding to the skill is generated. As a result, the user advances the game in consideration of the skill possessed by the character, so that the information processing device 100 can diversify the strategic nature of the game and improve the interest of the game.

Although the present invention has been described above based on the drawings and examples, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can easily make various modifications and modifications based on the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these modifications and modifications are within the scope of the present invention. For example, the functions included in each means, each step, etc. can be rearranged so as not to be logically inconsistent, and a plurality of means, steps, etc. can be combined or divided into one. ..

The information contained in the table of the field management unit 120 is not limited to that shown in FIG. The field management unit 120 may have event information associated with each area in addition to the information regarding the character and parameter states shown in FIG. The event information is unique information associated with an area that exerts a predetermined effect in the progress of the game.

The event information may be stored in the table of the field management unit 120 in advance at the start of the game. Further, the event information may be stored in the table of the field management unit 120 depending on the skill possessed by the character. The event related to the event information may have its effect by being executed by the control unit 130 from the start of the game. Further, the event related to the event information may have its effect by being executed by the control unit 130 when a predetermined condition is satisfied in the game. The control unit 130 may execute an event of the event information associated with the area when the character is newly associated and stored in a certain area by designating the arrangement of the characters. Further, the effect of the event related to the event information may be extinguished by the control unit 130 ending the execution of the event when a predetermined condition is satisfied in the game.

The event information may include information similar to skill information. The event information can be used to fluctuate the physical strength value associated with the player, fluctuate the parameters associated with the character, convert any of the parameter states managed by the field management unit 120, and the field management unit. It may include at least one of changing the correspondence between the area managed by 120 and the character, and changing the area managed by the field management unit 120 so as not to be associated with any character. .. It should be noted that the effect of the event based on each event information of the example shown here may be the same as that described in the description of the skill information in the above-described embodiment.

The control unit 130 may display the event information in the field area. The control unit 130 explicitly or implicitly displays the event information. When event information is explicitly displayed, the content of the event is displayed in the field area. When event information is displayed implicitly, information about the content of the event is displayed in the field area. In the implicit display, when the event is related to the fluctuation of the physical strength value, the control unit 130 displays that it is related to the physical strength value, and does not display how the physical strength value specifically fluctuates. Further, in the implicit display, when the event is related to the increase or decrease of the parameter, the control unit 130 indicates that the event is related to the parameter, and does not display how much the parameter is increased or decreased. Further, in an implicit display, the control unit 130 may display an area related to the event. If a character in a predetermined area is affected by the effect of an event, the control unit 130 may display such an area. In addition, the control unit 130 may display the number of regions affected by the event.

Further, the control unit 130 may display the event information of a part of the area and may not display the event information of the other area. The area for displaying the event may be predetermined for each field. In addition, the area for displaying the event may be randomly selected each time a match is played in the game. In the area where the event information is displayed, the event information is displayed explicitly or implicitly as described above.

By associating the area of the field with the event in this way, the user determines the arrangement of the characters while considering the effect of the event associated with the field and proceeds with the game. Therefore, the user considers the damage given to the opponent player by arranging the character, as well as the effect of the event in the field to be arranged. When the event information is explicitly displayed, placing the character in a certain area will cause great damage to the opponent, but if the effect of the event causes itself to be disadvantaged, the user will have such a trade-off relationship. Proceed with the game while considering. When the event information is implicitly displayed, the user advances the game while guessing the content of the event information. Therefore, the strategic nature of the game can be further diversified, and the interest of the game can be improved.

Further, when the event information is not displayed, an event unexpected by the user may occur due to the attacking player arranging the character. As a result, the aspect of the game may change significantly. Therefore, the fun of the game is improved.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, each character has a plurality of parameters, but the plurality of parameters may include an attack power and a defense power, respectively. When each character includes the first and second parameters as in the above embodiment, the first parameter includes an attack power (first attack power) and a defense power (first defense power). The second parameter may include offensive power (second offensive power) and defensive power (second defensive power).

When each parameter includes an attack power and a defense power, the calculation unit 150 determines that the attack power in the parameter state associated with the attacking player and the defense power in the parameter state associated with the defending player in each character. The physical strength value is calculated based on. Here, a modified example of the method of calculating the physical strength value will be described with reference to FIG. Similar to the description in the above-described embodiment, the area sandwiched between the characters in the first parameter state and in which the character in the second parameter state is arranged is described as being specified by the specific unit 140 as a specific area. do.

FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a modified example of the calculation method by the calculation unit 150. In FIG. 14, the character B in which the second parameter is valid and the character C in which the first parameter is valid are arranged in the field in advance. In this state, the calculation of the physical strength value when the first player places the character A on the field as the attacking player will be described. Character A has a first attack power of 20, a first defense power of 35, character B has a second attack power of 40, a second defense power of 15, character C has a first attack power of 30, and a first. It is assumed that the defense power of 1 is 25. Further, it is assumed that the physical strength value associated with the defending player is "300".

When the first player arranges the character A, the character A is in a state in which the first parameter is valid. At this time, the area associated with the character B is sandwiched between the areas associated with the characters A and C, respectively. Therefore, the area associated with the character B is specified as a specific area by the specific unit 140. In this case, the attacking player is the first player associated with the first parameter. First, the calculation unit 150 calculates a total value "50" of the first attack power "20" of the character A and the first attack power "30" of the character C. Next, the difference "35" between the total value "50" and the second defense power "15" of the character B is calculated. The calculation unit 150 subtracts the difference "35" as the damage from the physical strength value "300" associated with the defending player, so that the physical strength value "265" associated with the defending player as the calculation result is obtained. Is calculated. Similar to the above-described embodiment, when the difference is 0 or less, the calculation unit 150 does not change the physical strength value associated with the defending player.

When each parameter includes an offensive power and a defensive power, the user determines the arrangement of the character in consideration of the offensive power and the defensive power in each parameter state as well as the parameter state of the character, and proceeds with the game. For example, a user may have a character having a high attack power but a low defense power. When the user places this character on the field, the high attack power may cause great damage to the opponent. On the other hand, since the defense power of this character is low, the user may receive a large amount of damage by arranging this character thereafter. The user advances the game while considering such a trade-off relationship. Therefore, the strategic nature of the game can be further diversified, and the interest of the game can be improved.

Further, in the game described in the present specification, the control unit 130 can be grown by synthesizing characters based on a user's operation. At this time, the control unit 130 may have different growth results for each parameter state depending on the character to be synthesized. When the character has the first and second parameter states as in the above-described embodiment, the control unit 130 may grow so as to increase only the first parameter by synthesizing the character. Further, the control unit 130 may grow the first parameter to be larger than the second parameter by synthesizing the characters. Further, the control unit 130 may be grown so as to reduce the first parameter by synthesizing the characters. This also applies to the second parameter. Further, the control unit 130 may change the ability information of the character by synthesizing the character.

In this way, when the characters are combined and the parameters and ability information of the characters are changed, the growth result differs depending on the characters to be combined. Therefore, the user needs to consider which character to grow. Therefore, the strategic nature of the game can be further diversified, and the interest of the game can be improved.

Further, in the game described in the above-described embodiment, regardless of where the attacking player places the character on the field, the character has a predetermined positional relationship with the character in the parameter state associated with the defending player. If this is not possible, the control unit 130 may end the turn of the attacking player without accepting the designation of the character and the area from the attacking player. In this case, the same player subsequently places the character on the field.

When the control unit 130 accepts the designation of the character and the area from the attacking player, the control unit 130 may display the area on which the attacking player can arrange the character on the field display unit 250. The display method may be any method that can be recognized by the attacking player. This display can be performed by changing the color of the corresponding area or covering the corresponding area with a frame.

Further, if the same player continuously arranges characters, the characters arranged by this player may be insufficient depending on the situation of the subsequent game. In order to avoid this, at the start of the game, the control unit 130 may have each player select several spare characters in advance.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the opponent of one user (first player) is described as a player (second player) automatically operated by the information processing device 100, but the second player is , It may be another user different from the first player. In this way, when the users play against each other, the order of the characters arranged by the first and second players is not determined. Therefore, both the first and second players can specify the characters to be arranged for each turn.

Further, when two users play a battle, the character display units 221 and 222 display all the characters on the display of the opponent's character display unit 221 or hide all the characters.

The players of this game are not limited to the first and second players. This game can be played by three or more players. When a match is played by three or more players, each character has a parameter state according to the number of players in the match. When a match is played by three or more players, each character has first, second and third parameter states. When a match is played by four or more players, each character has first, second, third and fourth parameter states. Each parameter state is associated one-to-one with each player.

In this way, when the game is played by three or more players, each player plays the game with a plurality of players as opponents, so that there is a strategic nature as to which character is placed in which area in his / her turn. spread. Further, even if one player becomes dominant in the middle of the game, it is assumed that other players cooperate to attack one dominant player. Therefore, the strategic nature of the game can be further diversified, and the interest of the game can be improved.

Each character may be associated with any of the attribute information classified into several types. Attribute information is information about any attribute, and the number of types is also arbitrary. The calculation unit 150 may calculate the physical strength value according to the attribute information. At this time, the calculation unit 150 can calculate the physical strength value by using a numerical value obtained by multiplying the value of the parameter of the character by a predetermined number according to the attribute information.

Here, with reference to FIG. 15, a further modification of the method for calculating the physical strength value will be described. Here, as in the above description of the embodiment, the area sandwiched between the characters in the first parameter state and in which the character in the second parameter state is arranged is specified by the specific unit 140 as a specific area. It will be explained as.

FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating a modified example of the calculation method by the calculation unit 150. In FIG. 15, the character B in which the second parameter is valid and the character C in which the first parameter is valid are arranged in the field in advance. In this state, the calculation of the physical strength value when the first player places the character A on the field as the attacking player will be described. It is assumed that the first parameter of the character A is 20, the second parameter of the character B is 40, and the first parameter of the character C is 30. Further, it is assumed that the physical strength value associated with the defending player is "300".

Further, it is assumed that the attribute information is three types of attributes X, attribute Y, and attribute Z having a relationship of three resignations. It is assumed that the attribute X is superior to the attribute Y, the attribute Y is superior to the attribute Z, and the attribute Z is superior to the attribute X. It is assumed that the calculation unit 150 doubles the parameter of the character having the dominant attribute in the calculation of the physical strength value. It is assumed that the character A has the attribute X, the character B has the attribute Y, and the character C has the attribute X.

When the first player arranges the character A, the character A is in a state in which the first parameter is valid. At this time, the area associated with the character B is sandwiched between the areas associated with the characters A and C, respectively. Therefore, the area associated with the character B is specified as a specific area by the specific unit 140. In this case, the characters A and C have an attribute X that predominates over the attribute Y of the character B. The calculation unit 150 doubles the parameters "20" and "30" of the characters A and C, respectively, and uses the values "40" and "60" to associate the physical strength value with the defending player. Is calculated. The calculation unit 150 calculates a total value "100" of the doubled parameter "40" for character A and the parameter "60" for character C. Next, the difference "60" between the total value "100" and the second parameter "40" of the character B is calculated. The calculation unit 150 subtracts the difference "60" as the damage from the physical strength value "300" associated with the defending player. In this way, the calculation unit 150 calculates the physical strength value "240" associated with the defending player as the calculation result. Similar to the above-described embodiment, when the difference is 0 or less, the calculation unit 150 does not change the physical strength value associated with the defending player.

The calculation unit 150 may calculate the physical strength value by decreasing the value of the parameter of the inferior character instead of increasing the value of the parameter of the superior character. Further, the calculation unit 150 may perform a calculation in which a predetermined additional damage is given to the defending player according to the attribute information without changing the value of the parameter.

In this way, when several types of attribute information are associated with each character, the user determines the arrangement of the characters and proceeds with the game while considering the attribute information of the characters. The user confirms the attribute of the character associated with the opponent player placed in the field. Then, the user tries to place a character having an attribute that is superior to the attribute of the opponent's character. However, after that, it is assumed that the opponent arranges a character having a superior attribute with respect to the attribute of the character arranged by the user. Therefore, the strategic nature of the game can be further diversified, and the interest of the game can be improved.

Further, the specific region is not limited to the region shown in the above-described embodiment. The specific area is an area located on four axes of the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, the upper right direction, and the lower right direction with respect to the area where the character is arranged, and is the parameter state of the character of the arranged attacking player. The area may be associated with different parameter states (other parameter states). Further, the specific area may be an area adjacent to the area in which the character is arranged in the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, the upper right direction, and the lower right direction, and may be an area associated with other parameter states. .. Further, the specific area is an area adjacent to the area in which the character is arranged in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction, is an area associated with another parameter state, and corresponds to the other parameter state. All or part of the area vertically and horizontally adjacent to the attached area may be an area associated with the parameter state (same parameter state) of the character of the attacking player. Further, the specific area is an area having a predetermined positional relationship with respect to the area in which the character is arranged, is an area associated with another parameter state, and is associated with the other parameter state. The region having the predetermined positional relationship with respect to the region may be an region associated with the same parameter state. It should be noted that these specific areas are examples of a part of the assumed specific areas, and the specific areas are not limited to these examples.

Further, the number of regions in the field is not limited to the 24 shown in the above-described embodiment. The field may be any number of regions. Further, the shape of the field is not limited to the rectangular shape shown in the above-described embodiment. The shape of the field may be, for example, any rectangular shape, circular shape, or polygonal shape. Further, as shown in FIG. 16, a region in which the character cannot be arranged may be provided in a part of the field.

Further, the shape of the field area can be any shape. FIG. 17 shows a field in which each region is a hexagon. The games described herein can also be played in such fields.

By playing the game using fields having various shapes in this way, each player needs to deeply consider the positional relationship of the characters to be arranged. In particular, when the parameter state is converted by sandwiching a character in the same parameter state with a character in another parameter state, the character placed in the area at the end of the field is not converted in the parameter state thereafter. That is, the user can advance the game advantageously by arranging the character in the area at the end. Therefore, it is assumed that the user advances the game so that the character can be arranged in the area at the end. Therefore, the strategic nature of the game can be further diversified, and the interest of the game can be improved.

Further, the control unit 130 does not have to display the squares that divide each area in the field. Further, the control unit 130 may display the squares when necessary in the progress of the game, and may not display them in other cases. The control unit 130 can control to display the squares when the player selects an area for arranging the character, and not to display the squares in other cases. This allows the user to more clearly recognize the image in the field.

Further, when the attacking player selects an area in which the character is arranged, the control unit 130 may display a display assisting the selection. The attacking player may consider the area in which the character is placed by moving the cursor displayed in the field. In this case, the control unit 130 may display a specific area for the area where the cursor is placed in the field. The control unit 130 may also display information about the number of specific regions for each region of the field. The number of specific areas is the number of areas specified as specific areas when the attacking player places a character in a certain area. The control unit 130 can display information on the number of specific areas by indicating a number in each area. Further, the control unit 130 can display information regarding the number of specific areas in a color corresponding to the number of specific areas. In this case, the fields are displayed in a color-coded state according to the number of specific areas. The user can select the placement of the character by referring to these auxiliary displays.

Further, in the game described in the present specification, the control unit 130 may arrange two or more characters in the same area. When arranging two or more characters in the same area, the calculation unit 150 may calculate the physical strength value associated with the player based on the parameters of the last arranged character. Further, the calculation unit 150 may calculate the physical strength value associated with the player based on the total value of the parameters of two or more characters. Further, the calculation unit 150 may calculate the physical strength value associated with the player based on the parameters of the character specified by the user.

By arranging two or more characters in the same area in this way, the user has more options for arranging the characters. This adds to the complexity of the game. Therefore, the strategic nature of the game can be further diversified, and the interest of the game can be improved.
