Description

The present invention relates to a video game processing device and a program for executing a video game using blocks associated with a plurality of attributes.

In recent years, various puzzle games exist in games for portable game machines and mobile terminals, and a user executes a puzzle game by designating a screen of the mobile terminal or the like with a finger or the like.
For example, in Patent Document 1, the arrangement route of each character of the question character string on the dial 30, which is used in a character puzzle game in which characters are connected in a one-stroke manner to form a meaningful character arrangement, first begins. It is generated by determining the squares and extending the route one by one from this starting point square. At this time, a candidate cell for the next route is selected from the undetermined cells adjacent to the first cell of the confirmed route. Then, when the provisional route is extended to this candidate cell, it is possible to determine whether or not the route is completed based on whether or not a dead end cell is formed and whether or not an undetermined cell is connected. If it is determined, a puzzle game is described in which the route is extended by one square by determining the candidate square as a new route.

<Video game processing server 200>
The video game processing server 200 has various functions for controlling the progress of a video game for a plurality of users to play, and provides information about the video game to the user terminal 100.

<About the progress of the video game>
Next, the operation of the video game processing system will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 23.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the progress of the basic operation of the video game processing system.
When the user activates the video game, the stage to be played is displayed on the display unit 20. In the puzzle area 23 of the stage screen displayed on the display unit 20, when the arrangement of the normal blocks 23a is exchanged, the normal blocks 23a in which four or more normal blocks 23a having the same attributes are connected are selected.

The user replaces the array of the selected normal block 23a with another normal block 23a (different attribute) so that the normal block 23a of the same attribute is connected by the slide operation.
At this time, the control unit 10 determines whether or not four or more normal blocks 23a whose sequences have been exchanged by the user's operation are connected with the same attribute (step S100).

When the control unit 10 determines that four or more normal blocks 23a having the same attribute are not connected by the user's operation (step S100 / NO), the control unit 10 makes it impossible to replace the array, and the user again performs the normal block with the same attribute. Perform an operation so that four or more 23a are connected.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 6A to 6B, when four or more normal blocks having the same attribute are connected by exchanging the arrangement of the normal blocks 23a by the user's operation (step S100 / YES), then control is performed. The unit 10 determines whether the number of connected normal blocks 23a is 5 or more (step S101).
When the number of connected normal blocks 23a is 4 (step S101 / NO), the connected normal blocks 23a are erased from the panel area 23 (step S102), and the normal blocks 23a are rolled from the upper part to the erased portion. Arranged down.

At this time, the control unit 10 determines whether or not four or more normal blocks 23a having the same attribute are connected when the normal blocks 23a are carried down from the upper part and arranged (step S103).
As shown in FIG. 7A, the erased normal blocks 23a are arranged with the normal blocks carried down from the upper part. Next, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the normal blocks 23a are carried down and arranged, if four or more normal blocks 23a having the same attribute are connected (step S103 / YES), the normal blocks 23a are erased. The determination in step S101 is performed as the target to be performed (chaining).

In this way, the process of erasing the normal block 23a having the same attribute by the user is repeated, and the control unit 10 determines whether or not the clearing condition is satisfied as the video game progresses (step S104).
The clear condition is set to the stage currently being played by the user. For example, 10 normal blocks 23a with attribute circles are erased, and 30 normal blocks 23a with attribute stars are displayed. Conditions such as erasing and erasing five special blocks A or B are set, and the control unit 10 determines whether or not these conditions are satisfied.
The above-mentioned clearing condition is an example, and various conditions can be set, and may be different for each stage. In addition, it is possible to set the clearing conditions to become more difficult as the difficulty level of the stage increases.
In addition, the privilege may be given when the video game is cleared by satisfying a specific condition. The privilege includes, for example, the item 24a, the special item 24b, and the costume 24c, which will be described later, can be acquired.

When the control unit 10 determines that the clearing condition is not satisfied (step S104 / NO), the process returns to step S100, and the user repeats the progress of the video game again.
On the other hand, when it is determined that the control unit 10 satisfies the clearing condition (step S104 / YES), the play of the stage is terminated on the assumption that the played stage can be cleared (step S105).
In the video game, the number of turns (when four or more normal blocks 23a with the same attribute are connected and erased when the arrangement of the normal blocks 23a is replaced, or when the arrangement of the normal blocks 23a is replaced, the special block If the effect is activated, it will be consumed for one turn), and if the clear condition cannot be met within the set number of turns, it is judged that the clear condition is not met and the video game ends.

<About special blocks>
A special block that appears in the panel area 23 under predetermined conditions while the video game is in progress will be described.
FIG. 8 is a database showing the appearance conditions and activation effects of special blocks, and FIG. 9A is an example of a video game screen showing a state in which five normal blocks having the same attribute are connected, and FIG. 9A is shown in FIG. 9 (a). b) is an example of a video game screen showing a state in which the special block A appears in the panel area, and FIG. 9 (c) is an example of a video game screen showing a state in which the effect of the special block A is activated. be.

FIG. 10A is an example of a video game screen showing a state in which six normal blocks having the same attribute are connected, and FIG. 10B is a video showing a state in which a special block B appears in a panel area. It is an example of a game screen, and FIG. 10 (c) is an example of a video game screen showing a state in which the effect of the special block B is activated.

The special block appears in the panel area 23 when the appearance condition is satisfied by a predetermined operation of the user, and the effect of the special block is activated by performing an operation of exchanging the arrangement of the special blocks A to C and the normal block 23a. It is possible to advance the video game in an advantageous manner.

The appearance condition and the effect to be activated of the special block shown in FIG. 8 are stored in the special block database 30a stored in the storage unit 30.
Each of the special blocks A to C has a main effect and a sub effect, and the effect is activated when the conditions are met.

(1) About the special block A The appearance condition of the special block A is that five normal blocks 23a having the same attribute are connected (FIG. 9 (a)), and the five connected normal blocks 23a appear at the erased position (). FIG. 9 (b). The number of special blocks A that appear is one.
Then, the main effect of the special block A is to erase all the normal block 23a and the special block A appearing on the straight line in the direction in which the arrangement is exchanged with the adjacent normal block 23a (FIG. 9 (c)).

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, there are three patterns in the sub-effect of the special block A.
1. 1. One normal block 23a having the same attribute as the normal block 23a whose arrangement has been replaced is randomly deleted (other than on a straight line) (shown in FIG. 9 (c)).
2. 2. If the normal block 23a with the same attribute as the normal block 23a with the replaced array does not exist other than on the straight line, and the normal block 23a with the same attribute as the normal block 23a with the replaced array exists other than on the straight line, it is not on the straight line. Deletes one normal block 23a having an attribute different from that of the normal block 23a in which the arrangement in the above is replaced.
3. 3. If the normal block 23a corresponding to the above 1 and 2 does not exist, the process of erasing one normal block 23a is not performed.

When activating the three sub-effects in this way, the control unit 10 activates any of the sub-effects 1 to 3 by determining from the arrangement of the normal panel 23a in the panel area 23.

(2) About special block B The appearance condition of special block B is that six or more normal blocks 23a of the same attribute are connected (FIG. 10 (a)), and the six connected normal blocks 23a appear at the erased position. (FIG. 10 (b)). The number of special blocks B that appear is one.
Then, the main effect of the special block B is that when it is replaced with the adjacent normal block 23a, the six normal blocks around the replaced destination and the special block B that appears are erased (FIG. 10 (c)).

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, there are three patterns for the sub-effect of the special block B.
1. 1. One normal block 23a having the same attribute as the normal block 23a whose arrangement has been replaced is randomly erased (other than the erased six) (shown in FIG. 10 (c)).
2. 2. The normal blocks 23a with the same attributes as the replaced normal blocks 23a do not exist other than the erased six, and the normal blocks 23a with different attributes from the replaced normal blocks 23a exist other than the erased six. In this case, one normal block 23a having a different attribute from the normal block 23a in which the sequences other than the erased six are replaced is erased.
3. 3. If the normal block 23a corresponding to the above 1 and 2 does not exist, the process of erasing one normal block 23a is not performed.

When activating the three sub-effects in this way, the control unit 10 activates any of the sub-effects 1 to 3 by determining from the arrangement of the normal panel 23a in the panel area 23.

(3) Processing operation of special blocks A and B Based on the above, the processing of special blocks A and B will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
When the control unit 10 determines that five or more normal blocks 23a having the same attribute are connected by the user's operation, the control unit 10 determines that the normal blocks 23a having the same attribute are connected based on the special block database 14a stored in the storage unit 14. When five 23a are connected, the special block A is arranged in the panel area 23, and when six or more normal blocks 23a having the same attribute are connected, the special block B is arranged in the panel area 23 (step S200). ..

Next, when the control unit 10 determines whether the special block A or B has been used (step S201) and the special block arranged in the panel area is selected by the user (step S201 / YES), the control unit 10 selects. It is determined whether the selected special block is A or B, and the effect of the selected special block is activated (step S202).
The main effect of the special block A or B is activated, and the control unit 10 determines the arrangement status of the normal block 23a of the panel area 23 and activates any of the sub effects 1 to 3.
On the other hand, when the placed special block A or B is not selected by the user (step S201 / NO), the placed state is maintained.

(4) Special block C As shown in FIG. 8, the appearance condition of the special block C is that the special blocks A or the special blocks B are adjacent to each other or the special block A and the special block B are adjacent to each other by the user's operation. If so, the control unit 10 fuses the special blocks to generate the special block C and causes it to appear in the panel area 23.

The activation effect of the special block C also has a main effect and a sub effect as shown in FIG.
First, as the main effect, if the arrangement of the special block C appearing in the panel area 23 due to the fusion of the special blocks A and the adjacent normal block 23a is exchanged, the row in which the special block C is arranged and the rows on both sides are normal. All the blocks 23a and the special block C are erased (FIGS. 12a and 12b).

Further, the main effect of the special block C that appears in the panel area 23 due to the fusion of the special blocks B is to replace the arrangement of the special block C and the adjacent normal block 23a to make the normal block 23a around the special block C. All 18 blocks and the special block C are erased (FIGS. 13a and 13b).

Further, the main effect of the special block C that appears in the panel area 23 due to the fusion of the special block A and the special block B is centered on the special block C by exchanging the arrangement of the special block C and the adjacent normal block 23a. All the normal blocks 23a and the special block C on the straight lines in the six directions are erased (FIG. 14).

The sub-effects of the special block C generated by the fusion of the special blocks are as follows.
1. 1. Randomly delete one normal block 23a having the same attribute as the normal block 23a whose array has been replaced.
2. 2. The place where the normal block 23a with the same attribute as the normal block 23a whose array is replaced does not exist other than the place where the normal block 23a with the same attribute is erased by the main effect, and the place where the normal block 23a with the same attribute as the normal block 23a whose array is replaced is erased by the main effect. If it exists in other than, one normal block 23a having a different attribute from the normal block 23a in which the arrangement is replaced except for the part erased by the main effect is erased.
3. 3. If the normal block 23a corresponding to the above 1 and 2 does not exist, the process of erasing the normal block 23a is not performed.

When activating the three sub-effects in this way, the control unit 10 activates one of the sub-effects by determining from the arrangement of the normal panel 23a in the panel area 23.

Based on the above, the processing of the special block C will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
The control unit 10 determines whether the special blocks A or B are adjacent to each other or the special block A and the special block B are adjacent to each other by the operation of the user (step S300). If they are not adjacent (step S300 / NO), the determination is waited until they are adjacent.

When it is determined that they are adjacent to each other (step S300 / YES), the control unit 10 then determines whether or not the adjacent special blocks A are adjacent to each other (step S301).
When it is determined that the special blocks A are adjacent to each other (step S301 / YES), the special blocks A are fused to generate the special block C, and the special blocks A are referred to the special block database 14a. While activating the main effect in the case of fusion (step S302), the control unit 10 determines to activate any of the sub-effects 1 to 3 from the arrangement status of the normal block 23a in the panel area 23, and determines that one of the sub-effects 1 to 3 is activated. Activates a sub-effect based on it.

Further, when the adjacent special blocks are not adjacent to each other (step S301 / NO), the control unit 10 then determines whether the special blocks B are adjacent to each other (step S303).
When it is determined that the special blocks B are adjacent to each other (step S303 / YES), the special blocks B are fused to generate the special block C, and the control unit 10 refers to the special block database 14a and refers to the special block database 14a. While activating the main effect when the special blocks B are fused (step S304), the control unit 10 determines that any of the sub effects 1 to 3 is activated from the arrangement status of the normal block 23a in the panel area 23. Then, the sub-effect based on the judgment result is activated.

Further, when it is determined that the adjacent special blocks are not the special blocks B (step S303 / NO), it is next determined whether the adjacent special blocks are adjacent to the special block A and the special block B (step S303 / NO). Step S305).
When it is determined that the special block A and the special block B are adjacent to each other (step S305 / YES), the special block A and the special block B are fused to generate the special block C, and the control unit 10 controls the special block 10. With reference to the block database 14a, the main effect when the special block A and the special block B are fused is activated (step S306), and the control unit 10 sub-effects from the arrangement status of the normal block 23a in the panel area 23. It is determined to activate any of 1 to 3, and the sub-effect based on the determination result is activated.
If it is determined that the special blocks are not adjacent to each other (step S305 / NO), the process ends as it is.

<About items>
The items displayed in the item area 24 will be described.
There are a plurality of types of items, and when the user selects an item while the video game is in progress and uses it at a designated position in the panel area 23, the effect is activated and the video game can be advanced advantageously.

The types of items are stored in the item database 30b of the storage unit 30, and as shown in FIG. 16, there are three types of items, A to C, as examples, each of which has a special effect.
In the case of item A, the normal block 23a selected by the user in the panel area 23 is erased.
In the case of item B, all the normal blocks 23a having the same attributes as the normal block 23a selected by the user in the panel area 23 are deleted.
In the case of item C, the normal block 23a selected by the user in the panel area 23 and the normal block 23a around the normal block 23a are erased.

Next, processing when the item is used will be described with reference to FIG.
First, the user touch-operates the icon of the item 24a displayed in the item area 24 while the video game is in progress, and selects one of the displayed items (A to C).
The control unit 10 determines whether the selected item is any of items A to C. When the item A is selected (step S400 / YES), the control unit 10 refers to the item database 30b and activates the effect of the item A (step S401).
Next, when the item B is selected (step 402 / YES), the control unit 10 refers to the item database 30b and activates the effect of the item B (step S403).
Further, when the item C is selected (step S404 / YES), the control unit 10 refers to the item database 30b and activates the effect of the item C.

<About special items>
The special item 24b activates a special effect when the user selects it while the video game is in progress, and can advance the video game in an advantageous manner.
The effect of activating the special item 24b is stored in the special item database 14c stored in the storage unit 14.
FIG. 18 shows an example of the effect of activating the special item 24b stored in the special item database 30c.
-Randomly erase 10 normal blocks 23b selected by the user and 10 other normal blocks 23b in the panel area 23.
-The normal block 23b selected by the user is changed to the special block A or B.
-Change the selected obstruction block (described later) to special block A or B.
The effect of the special item 24b is only an example, and the effect is not limited to this, and it is possible to have a plurality of effects advantageous for the progress of the video game.

Next, the processing of the video game system when the user selects a special item will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
First, the user selects the special item 24b having the effect to be activated during the play from the plurality of effects of the special item 24b before playing the video game (step S500).
For example, the user selects and sets the effect when the special item 24b is activated on the setting screen of the video game.
Next, when the user selects the icon of the special item 24b displayed in the item area 24 while playing the video game (step S501), the control unit 10 is preset by the user with reference to the special item database 30c. The effect is activated (step S502).

<Costumes>
