Description

The present invention operates a character (hereinafter referred to as a “main character”) displayed on a display unit by a player operating an operation member, for example, attacking a plurality of enemy characters by the operation, while and to retrieve the item is relates to the game program and the game system of the game to progress toward a given purpose (the so-called "action game").

  Conventionally, in an action game, when a main character attacks a plurality of enemy characters and defeats those enemy characters, the appearance / defense of the main character depends on how to use and combine a plurality of attack / defense techniques. A device having a function of displaying the goodness of the game on the display unit of the game device is known.

  In this type of action game, for example, when the main character launches an attack against an enemy character and damages the enemy character, which of the plurality of ranks has a pre-set attack appearance? The determination result is displayed by a predetermined message or the like. The coolness of the attack is that, for example, a player operates multiple buttons provided on the operation controller with agility and complexity, so that multiple attacks or defense techniques (for example, shooting a gun while jumping, etc.) Or whether the plurality of techniques are continuously performed.

  Specifically, in the conventional action game, it is determined whether or not the same or different technique is continuously delivered within a predetermined time (for example, within 2 seconds) after the technique is delivered. When it is determined that the game has been paid out, it is determined which rank of the continuous technique is cool, and a message display (for example, “Style!”, “Bingo!” Or the like corresponding to the determination result is used. Display) (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1).

  In the conventional action game, the configuration of evaluating the appearance of the action of the main character and displaying the evaluation result is effective in enhancing the sense of excitement of the player who operates the main character, but is displayed on the screen. The coolness message display is only performed as an evaluation of the continuous technique when the player causes the main character to perform a continuous technique, and the player performs an action of delivering the continuous technique to the main character. If not, the evaluation of the coolness is not displayed, so the effect of displaying the coolness message is not necessarily sufficient.

  In other words, even if the player does not perform the action of drawing out the continuous skill against the main character, if the coolness evaluation is displayed on the screen, the player can play the main character against the enemy character. Since the evaluation of good-looking is always displayed, such a display mode causes a desire to operate the main character in a cool manner by the player, and enhances the tension and uplifting feeling in the game. It is thought that the fun of the can be further improved.

The present invention, which was conceived under the circumstances described above, to provide a game program and a game system action game that can enhance the excitement of the player during the game, the Let it be an issue.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention takes the following technical means.

Game program provided by the first aspect of the present invention, an operation control means for causing a computer to, perform a predetermined operation on the game character displayed on the display unit based on the operation signal input from the operation unit, Points are given to the action result of the character displayed on the display unit, and when the points are accumulated by the point accumulating means for accumulating the points, the points are accumulated by the point accumulating means. Until the point accumulation is performed, by the point subtraction means for subtracting the point integration value integrated by the point integration means at a predetermined rate as time elapses, the point integration processing by the point integration means, and the point subtraction processing by the point subtraction means Table to be displayed on the display unit the point cumulative value that varies in a predetermined display mode It is characterized in that to function as a control unit (claim 1).

The display mode includes a first display mode in which a plurality of ranks set in advance corresponding to the point integrated value are displayed by a predetermined symbol made up of characters, figures, etc., and a change in the point integrated value in the gauge display. made from a second display mode for displaying the change, the display control means displays the symbols by comparing the points accumulated values and a plurality of ranks into a rank corresponding to the point integrated value, corresponding to the rank unit In addition, the point integrated value is converted into a gauge amount in the gauge display, and the gauge amount is displayed on the display unit .

According to this game program, the computer can function as a game device having the following functions. That is, when an operation signal corresponding to the operation is input by the player operating the operation unit , the game character displayed on the display unit performs a predetermined action corresponding to the operation of the player. If points are set in advance for the operation result, points are given to the operation result, and the points given for each operation result are integrated. It is decreased at a predetermined rate as time passes. That is, the point integrated value varies depending on the action of the character displayed on the display unit by the player and the passage of time.

Then, the fluctuating point integrated value is displayed on the display unit in a predetermined manner. For example, the point integrated value is compared with a plurality of preset ranks and converted into a rank corresponding to the point integrated value, and a symbol made up of characters, figures, etc. corresponding to the rank is displayed on the display unit . For example rank in three steps, if A in each rank, B, the name of C are labeled "A" on the display unit, the character "B", "C" is displayed. Further, the point integrated value is converted into a gauge amount in the gauge display, and the gauge amount is displayed on the display unit as a bar graph.

Therefore, the point cumulative value, if whether the evaluation value player is good looking operates a character displayed on the display unit, the time variation of the evaluation value and rank indicating the coolness of the character on the display unit Since it is displayed, it is possible to increase the player's desire to manipulate the character in a cool manner or to increase the enthusiasm for the game.

It should be noted that the amount of decrease of the point integrated value per time by the point subtracting means may be varied depending on the rank displayed on the display unit (claim 3).

  According to this configuration, for example, it is difficult to maintain a high rank by increasing the amount of decrease of the point integrated value per time as the rank becomes high. It can be more stimulating and more enthusiastic about the game.

Further, according to a preferred embodiment, the game is an action game in which a character operated by the operation unit and an enemy character battle each other, and the point accumulating means is an action in which the action result of the character damages the enemy character. In this case, points may be given to the operation result (claim 4). In this case, the points given to the action that damaged the enemy character may differ depending on the type of the enemy character (claim 5) .

According to this configuration, the rank display and the gauge display displayed on the display unit allow the player to become more enthusiastic and quick to attack the enemy character by the character. Can be further improved. In addition, by giving only a small number of points to the continuous action of the same attack, it is possible to motivate the player to perform a good-looking attack rich in variations of the player.

Further, in the game program according to any one of claims 1 to 5 , the computer is displayed on the display unit in accordance with the point integration value that varies depending on the point integration processing by the point integration means and the point subtraction processing by the point subtraction means. it may be further function as character display control means for changing the appearance or aspects of the operation of the character displayed (claim 6).

The game program according to any one of claims 1 to 6 , wherein the computer outputs a sound corresponding to the action of the character, a sound output means, a point integration process by the point integration means, and a point subtraction by the point subtraction means depending on the point cumulative value that varies by the process, it may be further function as a sound control means for changing the sound output in response to the operation of the character (claim 7). According to a preferred embodiment, the voice control means may change the voice of the character to a high voice (claim 8 ).

The character display control means may change the character appearance displayed on the display unit to a predetermined appearance indicating the excited state of the character (claim 9 ). Moreover, the character display control means, may be changed to increase the operating speed of the character displayed on the display unit (claim 10).

According to this game program, the computer can function as a game device having the following functions. That is, when an operation signal corresponding to the operation is input by the player operating the operation unit , the game character displayed on the display unit performs a predetermined action corresponding to the operation of the player. When points are set in advance for the operation result, points are given to the operation result, and the points given for each operation result are integrated, and the point integration value is a predetermined value. When the threshold value is reached, the appearance or behavior of the character displayed on the display unit or the manner of sound output from the sound output means changes.

For example, the appearance of the character displayed on the display unit changes to a predetermined appearance (for example, a reddish appearance) indicating an excited state, or the character moves at a high speed. Further, the voice of the character output from the voice output means changes to a high voice. That is, the accumulated point value is obtained by the player operating the character displayed on the display unit. When the accumulated point value is higher than a predetermined threshold value, the player operates the character with great enthusiasm. Therefore, the player can know the heat state or the excitement state of the player by changing the appearance, movement and voice of the character displayed on the display unit . Therefore, the fun of the game can be further improved by the change of the display mode and the voice mode.

Game program provided by the second aspect of the present invention, an operation control means for causing a computer to, perform a predetermined operation on the game character displayed on the display unit based on the operation signal input from the operation unit, Points are given to the action result of the character displayed on the display unit, and when the points are accumulated by the point accumulating means for accumulating the points, the points are accumulated by the point accumulating means. Until the point accumulation is performed, by the point subtraction means for subtracting the point integration value integrated by the point integration means at a predetermined rate as time elapses, the point integration processing by the point integration means, and the point subtraction processing by the point subtraction means depending on the point cumulative value varying, character displayed on the display unit Is characterized by a character display control means for changing the mode of appearance or operation, it is to function (claim 11).

Game program provided by the third aspect of the present invention, an operation control means for causing a computer to, perform a predetermined operation on the game character displayed on the display unit based on the operation signal input from the operation unit, Points are given to the action result of the character displayed on the display unit, and when the points are accumulated by the point accumulating means for accumulating the points, the points are accumulated by the point accumulating means. Point subtracting means for subtracting the point accumulated value accumulated by the point accumulating means at a predetermined rate according to the passage of time, voice output means for outputting a sound corresponding to the character's action, It fluctuates depending on the point integration process by the integration means and the point subtraction process by the point subtraction means. Depending on the point cumulative value, is characterized in that a sound control means for changing the sound output in response to the motion of the character, it is to function (claim 12). The game program according to any one of claims 1 to 12 , wherein when the action control means controls the character to continuously perform the same type of action based on the operation signal, the point giving means Of these, points may be given to some of the operation results (claim 13 ).

In addition, it is possible to evaluate the state in which the player is enthusiastic about the game by using the point accumulated value, and the evaluation is output by a change in the appearance of the character displayed on the display unit or the manner of movement or by voice output means. By notifying the player by the change of the voice of the played character, the fun of the game can be further improved.

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

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of a game device according to the present invention. The game apparatus 1 is a so-called video game machine used for home use, and includes a device main body 2, an operation controller 3, a monitor 4, and a disk 5 set in the device main body 2 when a game is executed. An operation controller 3 and a monitor 4 are connected to the apparatus body 2.

  The apparatus main body 2 includes a control unit 11, a disk drive unit 12, and an I / O interface unit 13. An I / O interface unit 13 is connected to the control unit 11, and a disk drive unit 12, an operation controller 3, and a monitor 4 are connected to the I / O interface unit 13.

  The control unit 11 has a microcomputer that controls the overall operation of the apparatus body 2, and the microcomputer includes a CPU 15, a RAM 16, a ROM 17, a first timer 18, a second timer 19, and the like. A RAM 16, a ROM 17, a first timer 18, and a second timer 19 are connected to the CPU 15 via a bus line. The CPU 15 performs data processing based on the game program stored in the disk 5 set in the apparatus body 2, thereby controlling the display of the image stored in the disk 5 on the monitor 4 and storing it in the disk 5. Control of the output of the sound and sound effects to the monitor 4 is performed.

  The game program stored in the disk 5 is an action game in which, for example, a main character whose movement is controlled by a player operating the operation controller 3 and a plurality of enemy characters whose movements are controlled by the program are played. More specifically, in this action game, for example, a building having a plurality of rooms is used as a battlefield, the main character searches each room while playing against a plurality of enemy characters, and finally the strongest enemy character (becomes a boss). The process of competing with an enemy character and defeating the enemy character proceeds in a story format.

  The progress of the game (the process until the main character can play against the enemy character of the boss) is divided into multiple missions, and if you do not complete each mission, you will not be able to move on to the next mission. Yes. Therefore, the player guides the main character to the location of the enemy character of the boss by clearing missions in order, and the game is ended by defeating the enemy character of the boss in the last mission.

  For example, when a main character searches for a plurality of rooms, the mission is to acquire a specific item (a game item such as a key or a treasure) necessary to enter each room, or lower than the enemy character of the boss. Or a specific enemy character. Therefore, for example, in the case of a mission for acquiring a specific item, the player searches the specific item by moving the main character to a plurality of rooms that can be entered on the screen. In this case, a plurality of enemy characters appear in a room to hinder the search for the main character, and the player operates the operation controller 3 to attack the main character and defeat the enemy character. If a specific item can be searched for and acquired by avoiding a battle, the mission will be cleared, and it will be possible to move to the next mission.

In this game program, as described above, when the player operates a plurality of members such as buttons and levers provided on the operation controller 3, for example, the main character uses a weapon owned by the player to operate a plurality of enemies. Although the character can be defeated, of course, the main character may be attacked by the enemy character. Each enemy character and main character has a point called “Health Value”. If you receive damage from an attack, each time you receive damage, the point of “Health Value” is a predetermined amount (type of enemy character (It varies according to each other). When the point of the enemy character's “health value” becomes “0”, the enemy character is defeated and disappears from the screen. On the other hand, when the point of the “physical strength value” of the main character becomes “0”, the game is over.

  The game program describes processing procedures and various instructions to be executed by the microcomputer of the control unit 11, and controls the game screen, sound and the like according to the operation signal from the operation controller 3. Contains content to do. The disk 5 also stores data necessary for executing the game program. For example, it is composed of polygon data and texture data, and image data such as characters, enemy characters, and backgrounds constituting the game screen is stored in the disk 5 as three-dimensional image data. Further, data representing the progress of the game of the main character, which will be described later, voice data used as BGM and various sound effects, and the like are stored in the disk 5.

  The RAM 16 provides a work area for the CPU 15 to process game programs and data stored in the disk 5. In the RAM 16, game programs and data required as the game progresses are read from the disk 5 and stored as needed.

  The ROM 17 stores a basic program indicating a basic function of the apparatus main body 2 such as a disk loading function, a procedure for reading a game program stored in the disk 5, and the like.

  The first timer 18 is a timer used for a subtraction process (described later) for subtracting the gauge value when the appearance is displayed by gauge display with the passage of time. The second timer 19 will be described in detail later, but if the attack technique that the main character has continuously extended against the enemy character is the same technique, damage points (to be described later) that can be acquired to evaluate the coolness. This is a timer for measuring the interval. That is, the second timer 19 is a timer for giving a damage point for evaluating the appearance of only a part of the consecutive attacks when attacks of the same technique continue. The timing operations of the first timer 18 and the second timer 19 are controlled by the CPU 15, and the timing results are input to the CPU 15.

  The disk drive unit 12 reads programs and data recorded on the disk 5.

  The I / O interface unit 13 inputs a game program read by the disk drive unit 12 and an operation signal from the operation controller 3 to the control unit 11, and monitors a video signal and an audio signal from the control unit 11, respectively. And output to the speaker 4a.

  The operation controller 3 is operated by the player to operate the main character or make various settings relating to the game, and includes a plurality of buttons 3a and levers 3b. In the progress of the game, the lever 3b is mainly used as an operation member for instructing the movement and moving direction of the main character, and the plurality of buttons 3a can be used to cause the main character to perform attacks and defenses, or to be equipped. It is used as an operation member for exchanging weapons and armor, and confirming the acquired items and the current state.

When the operation controller 3 is operated by the player, the operation signal is input to the control unit 11, and the main character displayed on the monitor 4 operates based on the operation signal. Specifically, the main character performs specific movement operations such as “walking”, “running”, and “jumping” on the monitor 4 by operating the lever 3b of the player. In addition, by the player's operation of the plurality of buttons 3a (the operation of the specific button 3a or the combination operation of the plurality of buttons 3a), the main character is "sword", "physical exercise (kick, punch, etc.)", "gun ”,“ Knife ”and other weapons are used to perform a specific attack.

  The monitor 4 is a device for projecting a game screen or outputting sound according to a video signal or an audio signal sent from the device body 2, and an external input terminal for inputting a video signal or an audio signal. For example, a television receiver. Speakers 4 a for outputting sound are provided on both sides of the front surface of the monitor 4.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a game screen displayed on the monitor 4 when the main character is making an attack on the enemy character.

  In the game screen, the CPU 15 displays a plurality of types of displays indicating the situation in progress of the game. For example, a “physical strength” gauge 21 and a “DT (Devil Trigger)” gauge 22 of the main character M are displayed at the upper left of the game screen. Here, the “physical strength” gauge 21 refers to a “physical strength value” of the main character M that can progress through this game by a gauge value (unit: “point”). When the value becomes “0”, the game is over.

  In this action game, the attack power can be increased by transforming the main character M into a specific character (in this game, “Majin”). The “DT” gauge 22 It shows whether or not the main character M can be transformed into a specific character. The gauge value of the “DT” gauge 22 increases, for example, when the main character M attacks and damages the enemy character X. When the gauge value of the “DT” gauge 22 is present, the gauge value can be transformed into “Majin”. When there is no gauge value of the “DT” gauge 22, it indicates that it cannot be transformed into “Majin”. Therefore, the player can change the main character to “Majin” by operating a specific button 3 a of the operation controller 3 when there is a gauge value of the “DT” gauge 22.

  In the upper right corner of the game screen, the quantity 23 of the specific item N acquired by the main character is displayed. In this action game, for example, the type of weapon of the main character M and the attack power of the weapon (the amount of damage given to the enemy character per time) are increased, the gauge value of the “physical strength” gauge 21 is restored, and “physical strength” Acquiring a function to increase the maximum value of the gauge 21 or the “DT” gauge 22 by defeating a specific enemy character or acquiring a specific item distributed in the battlefield in the course of the game. However, it is also possible to purchase with a “specific item N” corresponding to money.

  The “specific item N” is an item corresponding to this money. This item N can be acquired by defeating an enemy character (regardless of type) or finding it at a specific part of the mission. Obtaining a weapon or a specific item (for example, an item for recovering a physical strength value or an item for increasing the maximum value of the “physical strength” gauge 21) that the main character M has not acquired in exchange for a predetermined amount of items N You can increase the attack power of the weapon you have acquired.

  In the lower part of the display of the acquired quantity 23 of “specific item N”, an evaluation result indicating the appearance of the action of the main character M in the battle with the enemy character X is displayed by the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25. .

  As shown in FIG. 3, the rank display 24 displays a message indicating in which one of the seven ranks the appearance is in a predetermined character. In this embodiment, the rank increases in the order of “D”, “C”, “B”, “A”, “S”, “SS”, “SSS”, and is displayed on the rank display 24 for each rank. The messages are “Dope!”, “Crazy!”, “Blast!”, “Alright!”, “Sweet!”, “Showtime!”, “Style!”.

  The gauge display 25 displays a change state of the evaluation value with a gauge because the evaluation value for evaluating the appearance increases as the damage is given to the enemy character, and decreases with time, as will be described later.

  The “evaluation indicating the coolness” is an evaluation of how well the main character M attacks the enemy character X and defeats the attacking action (including the defensive action). . The battle-type action game has the effect that the player can simulate the fighting action by the fighting action between the main character and the enemy character in the game screen. A number of action patterns are prepared as action patterns (skills) for attacking and defending the character.

  Accordingly, the player skillfully operates the plurality of buttons 3a of the operation controller 3 to cause the main character on the screen to perform various attack techniques and defensive techniques, thereby attacking and defeating the enemy character. However, there are so many attack techniques and defense techniques that the main character can operate, so the attack pattern with the enemy character is a combination of multiple attack techniques in order to match the enemy character's reaction. The pattern which defeats an enemy character brilliantly, the pattern which repeats the same attack technique monotonously and defeats an enemy character, the pattern which attacks by sporadically while fleeing appropriately, etc. will arise.

  “Assessment of coolness” indicates how well the main character's attack, defense, and movement patterns on the screen operated by the player are performed as described above. The person can confirm how well the operation of the main character is performed by the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25. Therefore, the player feels that the evaluation indicating the appearance is an evaluation of the appearance when he / she is playing against the enemy, and is not an evaluation for each continuous technique as in the past, but will be described later. In this way, since the evaluation of the coolness at that time is displayed even when the attack technique is not extended, the player's feeling that he wants to play the main character more brilliantly and play against the enemy character It is effective to elevate and make the player more enthusiastic about the game.

  The evaluation indicating the coolness is based on an integrated value of points DP (hereinafter referred to as “damage points DP”) given every time the main character M attacks the enemy character X and gives damage to a predetermined ratio over time. This is performed based on the point SP reduced by (hereinafter referred to as a stylish point SP). In the present embodiment, when the integrated value of the damage point DP exceeds the minimum value (0 point), the first timer 18 is operated to reduce the integrated value of the damaged point DP with the passage of time. However, it may be performed when the integrated value of the damage points DP exceeds a predetermined value that is larger than the minimum value.

  In the present embodiment, the stylish point SP is also reduced when the main character M is damaged by an attack from the enemy character X. In this case, the stylish point SP is not subtracted only by a predetermined point corresponding to the damage (hereinafter referred to as a damage point), but, as will be described later, an evaluation indicating the coolness is based on the stylish point SP. Since "Rank" is displayed, the current rank is lowered to a predetermined lower rank every time damage is received by the attack of the enemy character.

  When the main character M receives damage from an attack from the enemy character X, the damage point may be subtracted from the integrated value of the already acquired damage points DP.

  In the present embodiment, the damage point DP is calculated by an arithmetic expression of “points for each skill” × “finish magnification” × “mission magnification”. When the main character M attacks the enemy character X on the screen, as described above, the weapons such as “sword”, “physics (kick and punch)”, “gun”, “knife”, etc. The “point for each technique” is an enemy set in advance for each attack technique for each of these weapons, as shown in the “Point” column in FIG. This is the point of damage to the character.

  In FIG. 4, “points for each technique” for attack techniques using “sword” and “gun” weapons are listed in the “points” column. As shown in the figure, even with the same weapon, multiple types of attack techniques are prepared. For example, the "sword" technique includes "sword slash", "reverse slash", "rotate slash", etc. The point of damage to the enemy character is different for each technique. The same applies to the “gun”.

  The “timer value” column in FIG. 4 is a time interval for adding the damage points DP by a technique when each technique is continuously operated by the main character on the monitor 4. Since the unit (1/60 seconds) is an interval at which the frame image is displayed on the monitor 4, for example, in the case of “slashing”, the damage points DP are added only at intervals of 300/60 = 5 seconds. In the case of “hand gun”, the damage points DP are added only at intervals of 30/60 = 0.5 seconds.

  “Finish magnification” is a bonus to “points for each skill” for the attack technique performed on the enemy character immediately before the enemy character falls (when the enemy character's stamina falls below “0”) This is the magnification for adding. For example, if the enemy character X is attacked by “slashing” and the physical strength value (unit “point”) of the enemy character decreases due to the attack, and the decreased physical strength value is greater than “0”, the bonus addition is The “finish magnification” is “1”. However, when the reduced health value is “0” or less, a bonus addition is given to the attack technique, so the “finish ratio” is a predetermined value larger than “1” (for example, “1.5”). become.

  Therefore, for example, when the enemy character is defeated by a continuous technique of “sword slash”, “spin slash” and “sword slash”, the finish magnification for the first “sword slash” and “spin slash” is “1” and the last “sword slash” For example, the finish magnification is “1.5”. As a result, assuming that the “mission magnification” is “1”, the damage point DP is (150 × 1) + (200 × 1) + (150 × 1.5) = 575 from FIG.

  In the above example, if the enemy character has not fallen even at the last “slashing”, the finish magnification for the last “slashing” is “1”, so the damage point DP in this case is 500. . Therefore, if the enemy character can be defeated by paying out the technique, the damage point DP due to the technique increases.

“Mission magnification” is a value set in advance for each mission. In the action game, generally, the battle with the enemy character is severe as the game progresses, and the difficulty level of the mission increases. Therefore, a bonus is added to the damage point DP according to the difficulty level. Accordingly, the “mission ratio” is “1” for a plurality of missions immediately after the start of the game, but the “mission ratio” is “1.2” for the subsequent missions.
”,“ 1.3 ”,“ 1.5 ”...,“ Mission magnification ”is set in advance for each mission.

  Furthermore, as a technique when the main character launches an attack on the enemy character, for example, the main character launches the enemy character into the air with a sword and cuts the launched enemy character with a sword by an operation by the operation controller 3 of the player. There is a combined technique. For example, there is a combined technique in which the main character jumps and then shoots a gun. Also for such combinations of techniques, points to be added are set in advance for each combination, and the higher the player's operation by the operation controller 3, the higher points are given. Is set to

  When the main character M attacks the enemy character X, the CPU 15 calculates the damage point DP for the attack technique using the above formula, and accumulates the damage point DP every time the attack technique is paid out. . When the damage point is subtracted, a detailed description is omitted, but when the main character M is attacked and damaged by the enemy character X, the damage point DP2 is preliminarily applied to the attack. Is set, and the CPU 15 adds the damaged point DP2 to the integrated value of the damage point DP as a deduction point. Therefore, the integrated value SDP of the damage points is Σ (damage point DP) −Σ (damage point DP2).

  Further, when the integrated value SDP of the damage point DP is obtained, the CPU 15 calculates the stylish point SP by decreasing the integrated value SDP at a predetermined rate with the passage of time, and updates the calculated result in the RAM 16 as needed. Remember. After the player causes the main character M to attack the enemy character X and increases the stylish point SP, the stylish point SP is lowered at a predetermined rate unless the main character M is caused to perform an action associated with the point increase. Yes. Therefore, when the main character M is running away from the attack of the enemy character X or when the attack on the enemy character X is not damaging, the deducted points due to the passage of time are subtracted from the stylish point SP.

  In this way, the deductions due to the passage of time are added to the stylish point SP in order not to evaluate whether the main character M is good for the continuous attack every time the main character M is continuous. This is for evaluating whether or not the appearance of the action of the main character M during the battle period with the character X (attack and defense actions, attack and defense continuous actions, etc.) is good. For example, since the state in which the main character M is just escaping from the enemy character X is not good-looking, the state where time passes without any attack action is deducted from the stylish point SP.

  The rate at which the stylish point SP decreases is set in advance so as to differ for each rank described later. Then, the subtraction amount of points per unit time is stored in the form of a table on the disk 5, as shown in FIG.

  In the example of FIG. 5, since the image display on the monitor 4 is performed in the frame period (1/60 seconds), the amount of the stylish points SP per frame period is represented by a decrease amount, but per unit time (1 second). In terms of the reduction amount of the stylish point SP, the reduction rate of each rank is “SSS”: 60 × 4.0 = 240 points / second, “SS”: 60 × 3.5 = 210 points / second, “S ”: 60 × 3.0 = 180 points / second,“ A ”: 60 × 2.4 = 144 points / second,“ B ”: 60 × 2.0 = 120 points / second,“ C ”: 60 × 1 7 = 102 points / second, “D”: 60 × 1.3 = 78 points / second, “E”: 60 × 1.0 = 60 points / second. The amount of subtraction of points per unit time is also an example, and can be set as appropriate.

  As described above, the higher the rank is, the higher the point subtraction value per unit time of the stylish point SP is. It is more difficult for the player to maintain the higher rank operation. It is because it was made to have. After the player operates the main character M so as to raise the stylish point SP to a higher rank, the player needs to send out more advanced continuous techniques etc. to the enemy character X in order to maintain the rank. This takes into account the effect that the player is engrossed by the operation of the operation controller 3 in accordance with the increase in the battle.

  In addition, since the display of the evaluation indicating the coolness stimulates the player's desire to operate the main character M more coolly, in the present embodiment, the rank display 24 and the gauge display when the rank increases. 25 is displayed on the screen, and when the rank is lowered, the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25 are not displayed on the screen, or the brightness is lowered and the display is lightly displayed.

  Since the rank display 24 informs the player of the rank of the coolness, the display image is configured using characters such as “Style!” Corresponding to the rank name. From the viewpoint, as shown in FIG. 6, these character displays are displayed with decorations such as flower characters and color coding.

  The gauge display 25 indicates the change state of the evaluation value of the coolness, that is, the change state of the stylish point SP by a gauge. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the gauge display 25 is displayed on the rank display 24. It shows the change state of the gauge value (in points) in real time in real time. In this embodiment, as described above, the ranks “D” to “SSS” are displayed. However, when the rank is lowered, the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25 are not displayed. There is an “E” rank below the “rank”. This “E” rank is a rank only for evaluating whether or not the stylish point SP satisfies the display condition of the minimum rank “D” on the display.

  The gauge range of the gauge display 25 corresponding to each rank is the same, and is 700 points in this embodiment. The same applies to “E” ranks that are not displayed. In addition, the range (700 points) of the gauge display 25 is an example, and this range can also be set as appropriate.

  Therefore, the change range of the stylish point SP is theoretically 700 × 8 rank = 5600 points, and the change state of the stylish point SP in this change range is displayed on the gauge display 25. However, in the present embodiment, a process for calculating which rank of the calculated stylish point SP corresponds to the gauge value and displaying the calculation result on the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25 is not performed. The stylish point SP belongs to the gauge range of any rank from “E” to “SSS” including the initial state (default value) at the start of the battle, and the gauge value G at the current rank is the MAX value (“700” points). In the case of exceeding, the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25 are switched to the upper rank, the gauge value G for the excess is carried over to the upper rank, and the change of the gauge value G is displayed. This is because when the minimum value (“0” point) is reached, the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25 may be switched to the lower rank, and the change of the gauge value G may be performed at the lower rank.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the change of the gauge value G is calculated as a relative change within the same rank or up and down of the gauge value G in the current rank, and the gauge display 25 is interlocked with the switching of the rank display 24. To reflect on. That is, in the specific processing in the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25 (see the flow processing in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 described later), the processing is performed in rank units, so the stylish point SP that is an absolute point value is calculated. If the gauge value G in the current rank increases or decreases, the rank change according to the amount of change and the gauge value G in the changed rank are calculated, and the calculation result is displayed on the game screen. Will be.

  Moreover, in the gauge display 25 of each rank, the display of the change of the gauge value G is performed in the range of 0 to 700 points. However, when the gauge value G exceeds the MAX value and the rank rises to the upper rank, in the gauge display 25 after switching to the upper rank, the gauge value ΔG carried over from the lower rank is from the position of 300 points. Is displayed. That is, in the gauge display 25 of the upper rank, the gauge value G is corrected and displayed as (ΔG + 300). The reason for correcting the gauge value in this way is that if there is no cause for the gauge value G to rise immediately after the rank rises, the gauge value G is reduced by the subtraction process by the timer. In the case of several points to about 100 points, the gauge value G immediately becomes “0”, and the raised rank immediately falls. In this case, the rank display and the gauge display are not performed. This is to prevent a situation in which the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25 are present or absent due to the fluctuation.

  Therefore, when the rank rises, a predetermined value S0 (hereinafter referred to as a rank specified value S0) is added to the carry over amount ΔG of the gauge value G, and the gauge value G as a result of the addition is displayed on the gauge. In other words, when the rank is increased, the gauge display is started in the range of the rank specified value S0 or more in the gauge display of the rank after the increase. On the other hand, in the subsequent gauge display, when the gauge value G decreases due to the subtraction process by the timer, the gauge display is performed until the gauge value G decreases to “0” point, and the gauge value G reaches “0” point. Then, a process of lowering the rank by one step is performed. Note that the value of the rank specified value S0 is not limited to 300 points, and an appropriate value can be set as appropriate.

  For example, when the current rank is “A” rank and the gauge value G increases to 800 points, the gauge value G exceeds the MAX value of the gauge display 25 of “A” rank by 100 points, so the rank is one higher. Increased to "S" rank. The carry value ΔG of the gauge value G in the gauge display 25 of “S” rank is “100” points, but the gauge value G at the time of rank increase is corrected to “ΔG + rank specified value S0” and displayed as a gauge. That is, when switching to the “S” rank, the gauge value G of 400 points is displayed as a gauge. In addition, when the carry-over amount ΔG of the gauge value G exceeds 700 points, it goes without saying that the MAX value of the next higher rank is also exceeded. The carry-over amount ΔG of the gauge value is 100 points.

  On the other hand, when the rank is lowered by the subtraction process of the gauge value G according to the timing of the timer, the continuity of the gauge value G may be displayed in the rank after the drop, that is, when the rank changes to the lower rank In this gauge display, the gauge value G may be the MAX value. However, in this embodiment, when the rank is lowered, the gauge value G for the rank after the drop is set as the rank specified value S0. This is in consideration of encouraging the player to raise the rank as much as possible by tightening the rank drop amount. For this reason, if the player does not perform an action for the player to acquire the damage point DP after the rank is lowered, the gauge value G further decreases from the rank specified value S0, and when it reaches 0 points, the rank further decreases. In addition, the gauge value drops to the rank specified value S0 of the lower rank. Therefore, for example, if the descent from the “A” rank to the “B” rank and no damage point DP is acquired, the time for the gauge value G to decrease from the rank specified value S0 to the “0” point in the “B” rank has elapsed. After that, it further falls to the rank specified value S0 of “C” rank. In this case, the rank display and gauge display are not performed for the lowered “B” rank and “C” rank.

  As described above, the gauge display 25 is a time index that can maintain each rank displayed in the rank display 24 and an index of the gauge value G that is necessary for increasing the rank. The gauge display 25 indicates that the higher the displayed gauge length is to the right, the higher is the possibility of shifting to a higher rank. Conversely, the shorter the gauge length is to the left, the more likely it is to shift to a lower rank. Indicates high.

  When the main character M and the enemy character X are in a battle state, the CPU 15 measures the gauge value G at the current rank, determines the rank based on the gauge value G, and calculates the gauge value G at the rank. Then, the determination result and the calculation result are stored in the RAM 16. The gauge value G changes with time, and the rank determination result and the gauge value G also vary accordingly. Therefore, the CPU 15 uses the rank determination result and the gauge value G stored in the RAM 16 for a predetermined period (for example, a monitor). 4 is updated at a frame period (1/60 seconds) for displaying an image.

  The CPU 15 controls the display contents of the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25 based on the rank determination result and the gauge value G stored in the RAM 16. Specifically, the CPU 15 reads the rank determination result and the gauge value G data stored in the RAM 16 in the frame period, and outputs the corresponding rank display 24 and gauge display 25 image data to the monitor 4.

  In this case, when the gauge value G on the gauge display 25 exceeds the MAX value (700 points), the rank displayed on the rank display 24 is switched to one or more ranks. For example, in a state where “Alright!” Corresponding to the rank “A” is displayed on the rank display 24 and the gauge value G displayed on the gauge display 25 becomes the MAX value, the display on the rank display 24 is “S”. "Sweet!" Corresponding to the rank. Further, the gauge value G after the rank change is displayed on the cage display 25 of “S” rank.

  In the above embodiment, the stylish point SP is added when the main character M damages the enemy character X, but the main character M guards against the attack of the enemy character X by the player's operation. Or, it may be added as a stylish point SP when it is avoided immediately before receiving an attack.

  Next, the effect | action in the said structure is demonstrated with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.7 and FIG.8.

  As described above, in this action game, a plurality of enemy characters are defeated using weapons possessed by the main character, and the game is advanced while achieving specific commands given in each mission. Have.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the progress image of this action game. Each mission 1 to n is provided with a plurality of battle fields called “rooms”. The character plays against one or more enemy characters. Note that the main character does not need to defeat all enemy characters in each room, and can proceed to the next room by escape. The condition for completing the mission is not limited to defeating the enemy character, but may be that the main character searches for a specific item hidden on the game screen.

The flowcharts shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 relate to a battle process when a main character enters a room serving as a battle field of a certain mission. Note that this flowchart does not include a process for determining whether the continuous attack action of the main character is a continuous attack of the same technique. This determination process will be described later.

  First, various data and flags for controlling the appearance evaluation are initialized (S1). That is, the rank data R for the rank display 24 is set to “E” rank, and the gauge value G for the gauge display 25 is set to the rank specified value S0. Further, the finish magnification MF is set to “1”, and the mission magnification MA is set to a predetermined value “m” corresponding to the mission. Further, the subtraction coefficient K that determines the amount of decrease per unit time of the gauge value G is set to a value corresponding to the “E” rank (“60 (points / second)” in the present embodiment).

  Furthermore, a flag RUFG indicating that the rank has been increased (hereinafter referred to as a rank up flag RUFG), a flag RDFG indicating that the rank has been decreased (hereinafter referred to as a rank down flag RDFG), and rank display are performed. Flag RHFG (hereinafter, referred to as a rank display flag RHFG) is set to “0”. Flags RUFG and RDFG indicate that rank-up and rank-down processing has been performed when “1”, respectively, and rank-up and rank-down processing has not been performed when “0”. Further, when the flag RHFG is “1”, it indicates that the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25 are performed. When the flag RHFG is “0”, the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25 are not performed or are lightly displayed. Indicates that is being done.

  When the data initialization is completed, the game progress process in the battle mode is started (S2). That is, a background image corresponding to the mission (a three-dimensional image of a predetermined battle room in which the enemy character is played) and a main character image (a three-dimensional image) are displayed on the game screen. Then, an image of the enemy character (three-dimensional image) appears on the screen at a predetermined timing, and thereafter, the main character, enemy character, and background image on the screen are displayed based on the operation of the player's operation controller 3. It is changed appropriately. The movement of the enemy character is controlled so as to attack the main character by a preset attack program.

  When the operation controller 3 is operated by the player in the battle mode (S3), an action corresponding to the operation of the main character is performed on the screen of the monitor 4 (hereinafter referred to as a game screen) (S4). For example, if the player's operation is a movement operation, the main character on the game screen performs a movement operation, if it is an attack operation, the main character performs an attack operation, and if it is a defensive operation, the main character performs a defensive operation. .

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the main character has moved out of the battle room by the action of the main character on the game screen (S5). When the main character moves out of the battle room (S5: YES), the battle is performed. The mode processing is terminated (S6). On the other hand, if the action of the main character on the game screen is not a movement outside the battle room (S5: NO), it is determined whether or not the enemy character has been damaged by the attack action of the main character (S7). If the enemy character is not damaged (S7: NO), the process proceeds to step S12. If the enemy character is damaged (S7: YES), the attack character and the type of the enemy character are selected. The reduced physical strength value BX of the enemy character is calculated based on the approximate table (S8), and it is further determined whether or not the physical strength value BX is “0” (S9). If the physical strength value BX is “0” (S9: YES), the enemy character disappears from the game screen, and then the finish magnification MF is set to a predetermined value (S10). On the other hand, if the physical strength value BX is not “0” (S9: NO), step S10 is skipped, and the finish magnification MF is held at the default value “1”.

Subsequently, a damage point DP is calculated (S11). The damage point DP is calculated by an equation of DP = A × MF × MA using a predetermined point A (see FIG. 4) for the attack technique, the finish magnification MF, and the mission magnification MA.

  Subsequently, the gauge value G is calculated by integrating the damage points DP (S12). That is, the calculated damage point DP is added to the gauge value G stored in the RAM 16. Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the calculated gauge value G exceeds the MAX value (S13). If the gauge value G does not exceed the MAX value (S13: NO), the process proceeds to step S27, and processing relating to rank display and gauge display in the current rank is performed.

  If the gauge value G exceeds the MAX value (S13: YES), the rank-up flag RUFG is set to “1” (S14), the rank to be raised is determined based on the gauge value G (S15), and further The gauge value G in the rank after the increase is calculated (S16). The rank to be increased is determined by subtracting points from the gauge value G calculated in step S12 until the level is equal to or less than that range in the gauge range (700 points in this embodiment) of each rank. The For example, since it is “E” rank at the beginning of the match, if the number of subtractions is two, the two-stage rank is increased, and the rank to be increased is “C”. Further, the gauge value G in the rank after the rise is set as a gauge value ΔG (<gauge range (700 points)) of the carry-over point remaining by the subtraction process.

  Subsequently, a subtraction coefficient K for the rank after the rise is set (S17). In the above example, the subtraction coefficient K is changed from the value “60” for the “E” rank to the value “102” for the “C” rank (see the description of paragraph [0071]). Subsequently, the gauge value ΔG for the carry-over is added to the rank specified value S0 (300 points in this embodiment) (S18). As described above, this is a process for performing the carry-over gauge value ΔG from the rank specified value S0 of the gauge display in the gauge display at the elevated rank.

  As described above, in the processing of steps S3 to S18, when the main character on the game screen attacks the enemy character by operating the operation controller 3 of the player and raises the stylish point SP, it corresponds to the stylish point SP. The rank of the coolness to be determined is determined, and the gauge value in the gauge display of the rank is calculated.

  On the other hand, in the battle mode, if the player does not operate the main character on the game screen (S3: NO), it is determined whether or not the main character is damaged by the attack of the enemy character on the game screen. (S19).

  If the main character is not damaged (S19: NO), the process proceeds to step S27. If the main character is damaged (S19: YES), the main character's physical strength value BM decreased by a table (not shown) is calculated based on the type of the enemy character (S20). It is determined whether or not it is “0” (S21). If the physical strength value BM is “0” (S21: YES), the game is over and a predetermined game over process is performed (S26).

On the other hand, if the physical strength value BM is not “0” (S21: NO), the rank to which the coolness rank should be lowered is determined based on the table shown in FIG. 11 (S22). That is, if the current rank is “A” rank, the rank to be lowered is set to “C” rank. Needless to say, when the current rank is the lowest “E” rank, the rank is maintained. In the table shown in FIG. 11, when the main character is damaged by the enemy character, the rank of coolness is basically lowered by two levels. Since the “D” and “E” ranks cannot be lowered by two levels, both ranks become the lowest “E” rank. The “SS” rank and the “SSS” rank are exceptionally equivalent to the “S” rank and are lowered to the “B” rank.

  Subsequently, a subtraction coefficient K for the rank after the descent is set (S23). In the above example, the subtraction coefficient K is changed from the value “144” for the “A” rank to the value “102” for the “C” rank (see the description of paragraph [0071]). Subsequently, the rank down flag RDFG is set to “1” (S24), the gauge value G for the rank after the descent is further set to the rank specified value S0 (S25), and the process proceeds to step S27.

  As described above, in the processes of steps S19 to S25, when the main character on the game screen is damaged by the attack of the enemy character, the predetermined rank that should be lowered based on the current rank is determined. In addition, the gauge value in the gauge display of the rank is set to the rank specified value S0.

  In step S27, it is determined whether or not the current rank is the “E” rank. If the rank is the “E” rank (S27: YES), the gauge value G in the “E” rank is further set to the rank specified value S0. Is determined (S28). If the current rank is higher than the “E” rank, or the current rank is “E” and the gauge value G is not the rank specified value S0 (S27 or S28: NO), the first timer The timing of the time t by 18 is started, or when it has already started, the timing is continued (S29). On the other hand, if the current rank is the “E” rank and the gauge value G is the rank specified value S0 (S28: YES), the time measurement by the first timer 18 is stopped (S30). Then, the gauge value G is subtracted (G = G−K · t calculation process) (S31).

  That is, in the processes of steps S29 and S30, when the stylish point SP becomes equal to or higher than the rank specified value S0 (300 points) of the “E” rank, the time measurement of the first timer 18 is started and the stylish point SP is subtracted. When the stylish point SP reaches the rank specified value S0 of the “E” rank, the timing of the first timer 18 is stopped and the subtraction process of the stylish point SP is not performed.

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the rank up flag RUFG is “1” (S32). If the rank up flag RUFG is “1” (S32: YES), the display by the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25 is displayed. Is performed (S33), the rank display flag RHFG is set to "1" (S34), and the process proceeds to step S38.

  On the other hand, if the rank up flag RUFG is “0” (S32: NO), it is determined whether or not the rank down flag RDFG is “1” (S35), and if the rank down flag RDFG is “1”. (S35: YES), the display by the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25 is not performed (S36), the rank display flag RHFG is reset to “0” (S37), and the process proceeds to step S38.

  If both the rank up flag RUFG and the rank down flag RDFG are “0” (S35: NO), the display control by the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25 and the control of the rank display flag RHFG are not performed. .

  That is, the processes of steps S32 to S34 display the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25 when the rank of goodness is raised, and the processes of steps S32 and S35 to S37 are when the rank of goodness is lowered. In this process, the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25 are not displayed.

In step S38, it is determined whether or not the gauge value G exceeds the rank specified value S0. If the gauge value G exceeds the rank specified value S0 (S38: YES), the rank display flag RHFG further indicates “ It is determined whether or not it is “0” (S39), and if the rank display flag RHFG is “0” (S39: YES), display by the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25 is performed (S40), and the rank display flag RHFG is set to “1” (S41), and the process proceeds to step S47. On the other hand, if the rank display flag RHFG is “1” (S39: NO), steps S40 and S41 are skipped and the process proceeds to step S47.

  That is, in steps S38 to S41, when the rank of coolness is lowered, the display by the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25 is not performed, but when the gauge value is increased within the rank after the drop, the rank display is performed. 24 and a gauge display 25.

  In step S38, if the gauge value G is equal to or lower than the rank specified value S0 (S38: NO), it is further determined whether or not the gauge value G is “0” point (S42), and the gauge value G is “0”. ”(S42: YES), the coolness rank is changed to the next lower rank (S43), and the subtraction coefficient K is further changed to the subtraction coefficient K for the next lower rank ( S44). Subsequently, the rank down flag RDFG is set to “1” (S45), the gauge value G in the next lower rank is set to the rank specified value S0 (S46), and the process proceeds to step S47. On the other hand, if the gauge value G is not the “0” point (S42: NO), steps S43 to S46 are skipped and the process proceeds to step S47.

  That is, steps S42 to S47 are processes for lowering the rank to the next lower rank when the gauge value G has become “0” by the subtraction process over time in a certain rank.

  When the process proceeds to step S47, it is determined whether or not all enemy characters have been defeated. If there are any enemy characters remaining (S47: NO), the process returns to step S3 to display the rank display and gauge display of the appearance in the battle mode described above. The process is repeated. When all enemy characters are defeated (S47: YES), the battle mode ends and the process returns to step S3. In this case, since the enemy character does not appear, the rank display and the gauge display processing of the appearance are not substantially performed.

  FIG. 10 is an example of a change in display indicating the coolness of the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25 when a battle against an enemy character is performed in a certain room.

  In the figure, the vertical axis shows the gauge display for each rank. For convenience, ranks above “S” are not shown. “0 / MAX” in the rank boundary portion of the gauge display indicates that when the gauge value G in the gauge display of each rank exceeds the MAX value, it becomes “0” in the upper rank. The horizontal axis shows the passage of time, and the positions of a, b, c,... O rank according to the passage of time as the main character attacks the enemy character to acquire the damage point DP, or the enemy character receives damage. Indicates that the display has changed or the appearance display has changed.

  The broken line for each rank indicates a change in the gauge value in each rank, the change in the gauge value for a thick line indicates the state displayed by the gauge display 25, and the change in the gauge value for a thin line is displayed by the gauge display 25. Indicates no state. Further, Δ marks indicate gauge values when the main character is damaged by the enemy character. ΔG is the carry-over of the gauge value G when the rank increases.

The lower "first timer" column shows the relationship between the change in the gauge value G and the start / stop of the time measured by the first timer 18, and the "rank switching" column shows each of a, b, c,. The relation between the position and the rank switching direction is shown, and the column “Rank / Cage display” shows the relation between each position of a, b, c,... O and the presence / absence of display by the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25. .

  In FIG. 10, a point a is a point where the player first causes the main character to perform the attacking action of the enemy character on the game screen after the start of the battle mode, and obtains the damage point DP. Although the gauge value G is increased by the damage point DP at this time, since it is within the range of the “E” rank, the rank is not switched up and the display by the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25 is not performed. That is, in the flowcharts of FIGS. 7 and 8, the process proceeds from step S2 to S12, S13 → S27 to steps S32 and S35, but the rank up flag RUFG and the rank down flag RDFG are both default values “0”. None of steps S33 and S34 and steps S36 and S37 are performed. Further, since the gauge value G exceeds the rank specified value S0, the process proceeds from step S39 to step S47 after step S38, so that the display by the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25 retains the initial state of no display.

  On the other hand, when the gauge value G exceeds the rank specified value S0 of the “E” rank, the process proceeds from step S28 to step S29, and the time measurement by the first timer 18 is started. For this reason, the gauge value G is reduced by the subtraction coefficient K of the “E” rank with the lapse of time by the subtraction process of the gauge value G in step S31, and as shown in FIG. To decrease.

  The point b is a point where the player again causes the main character to attack the enemy character on the game screen and obtains the damage point DP. At this time, the gauge value G rapidly increases within the “E” rank. Therefore, the processing of the flowcharts of FIGS. 7 and 8 is the same as that of the point a. In step S29, the time measurement of the first timer 18 has already been performed, and the time measurement is continued.

  The point c is a case where the player causes the main character to attack the enemy character on the game screen to acquire the damage point DP, and the gauge value G exceeds the MAX value of the “E” rank. In this case, since the gauge value G exceeds the MAX value, the process proceeds from step S13 to step S14 in the flowcharts of FIGS. Since the rank-up flag RUFG is set to “1” in step S14, the process proceeds from step S32 to step S33, and the rank display 24 and gauge display 25 perform rank display and gauge display of “D” rank (FIG. 10). (Refer to bold display in “D” rank of the

  The points c ′ and d are points where the gauge value G in the “D” rank has decreased to the rank specified values S0 and “0” with the passage of time. Even if the gauge value G decreases to the rank specified value S0, the processes in steps S32 to S34, S38, S42, and S47 are performed in the flowcharts of FIGS. Will continue. On the other hand, when the gauge value G becomes “0”, in the flowcharts of FIGS. 7 and 8, the process proceeds from step S38 to steps 42 to S46, the rank changes to a lower rank, and the gauge value G Since the rank specified value S0 is set and the rank down RDFG is set to “1”, when processing step S35 again, the process proceeds to steps S36 and S37, and the display by the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25 is performed. Disappear.

In FIG. 10, the “D” rank is displayed from the point c ′ to the point d, but at the point d, the gauge value G changes to the rank specified value S0 of the “E” rank, and the “E” rank The state where the display is not performed indicates the state. Further, since the gauge value G becomes the rank specified value S0 of the “E” rank, in the flowcharts of FIGS. 7 and 8, the process proceeds from step S28 to step S30, and the time measurement by the first timer 18 is stopped. . For this reason, the gauge value G is held at the rank specified value S0 of the “E” rank from the point d to the point e.

  The point e is the same as point c, in which the player causes the main character to attack the enemy character on the game screen to obtain the damage point DP, and the rank has increased to the “D” rank one higher. is there.

  Similarly to point e, the player also obtains a damage point DP by causing the main character to attack the enemy character on the game screen to obtain a damage point DP, and the rank has been raised to a higher “C” rank. is there. In this case, since the display by the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25 has already been performed since the rank “D”, the point where the display is continued is different from the case of the e point.

  The point g is a case where the player acquires the damage point DP by causing the main character to perform the attacking action of the enemy character on the game screen as in the case of the point b, but the gauge value G does not exceed MAX. The point g is only different from the case where the points displayed by the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25 are the point b. At points h to i, the player obtains a damage point DP by causing the main character to attack the enemy character on the game screen, and the gauge value G changes within the same rank, or the rank increases Or change.

  The point j is a point on the game screen where the main character is damaged by the attack of the enemy character. In this case, the “S” rank is lowered to the next lower “B” rank in accordance with the table of FIG. 11, and the gauge value G is changed to the rank specified value S0 in the “B” rank. In the flowcharts of FIGS. 7 and 8, the processing of steps S19 to S25 is executed, and the rank down flag FG is set to “1” in this processing. Therefore, the process proceeds from step S35 to steps S36 and S37, and the rank display 24 is displayed. The display by the gauge display 25 is not performed.

  Between j point and k point, after the main character is attacked by the enemy character on the game screen, the gauge value G is reduced to “0” by the time subtraction process because the main character does not attack the enemy character. Is shown.

  At the point k, as with the point d, the gauge value G at the “B” rank has become “0”, so that the rank falls to the “C” rank one level below and the gauge value G becomes the “C” rank. Is set to the rank specified value S0. Since the display by the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25 is not performed when descending to the “B” rank, the state continues even when descending to the “C” rank.

  For point l, after dropping to rank “C”, the player causes the main character to attack the enemy character on the game screen while the gauge value G decreases from the rank specified value S0 to “0”. This is the point where DP was acquired. At this time, the increase amount of the gauge value G does not exceed the MAX value of the “C” rank, but in the flowcharts of FIGS. 7 and 8, the rank display flag RHFG is “0”. The process proceeds to S41, and the display by the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25 is performed.

  The point m is a point where the player causes the main character to perform the attacking action of the enemy character on the game screen to acquire the damage point DP, and the rank is increased by two. A process similar to that for the i point is performed at the m point.

The point n is the same as the point j in that the main character is damaged by the attack of the enemy character on the game screen as in the point j. For point o, after descending to rank “C” at point n, while the gauge value G is decreasing from the rank specified value S0 to “0” by the subtraction process over time, the main character is further enemies on the game screen. The point is that the character was damaged by the attack and dropped to the next lower “E” rank. In this case, as in the case of the point d, the gauge value G becomes the rank specified value S0 of the “E” rank, and the display by the rank display 24 and the gauge display 25 is not performed. Further, the time measurement by the first timer 18 is also stopped.

  As described above, when the player performs an operation in which the main character keeps attacking the enemy character on the game screen, the rank of the coolness gradually or rapidly rises, so that the player further increases the rank. The operation controller 3 is operated so that the display of the rank does not disappear after aiming and rank down. Thereby, an uplifting feeling of the player can be enhanced. In addition, it is possible to improve the character's operation and to provide a highly interesting game.

  7 and 8 do not determine the type of continuous attack of the enemy character by the main character, but if the continuous attack technique is the same, even if the same continuous attack, Since the attack content is monotonous with respect to the continuous attack, if the main character attacks the enemy character continuously, it is determined whether or not the same skill is continuous. It is preferable not to raise the rank of goodness.

  The game device according to the present embodiment determines whether or not a continuous attack is a continuation of the same technique, and in the case of a continuation of the same technique, thins out and adds the damage points DP and suppresses an increase in the gauge value G It has.

  This function is shown in FIG. 4 when there is an attack of a certain technique, instead of counting the damage points DP obtained by each attack, when the player continuously attacks the same technique of the main character. Until the timer value elapses, the damage point DP for the attack of the skill is not counted. Specifically, when the player causes the main character to perform an attack technique on the main character and obtains the damage point DP, the second timer 19 causes the timer 15 to start measuring the timer value for the attack technique. If the player causes the main character to perform the same attack technique before the second timer 19 finishes counting the timer value for the attack technique, the damage point DP for the attack is added to the gauge value G. The damage point DP for the attack is added to the gauge value G only when the player causes the main character to perform the same attack technique after the second timer 19 finishes counting the timer value for the attack technique. .

  Therefore, when the same attack technique continues, the damage point DP is added to the gauge value G only at the interval of the timer value set in advance for the attack technique. For example, when the player performs an action of firing the “hand gun” on the main character, the damage point DP of the attack by the “hand gun” is added to the gauge value G only once every 0.5 seconds as shown in FIG. Not.

  If the same technique is repeated, the points can be added, and the stylish point SP, that is, the gauge value G is surely increased, and the player can easily increase the points. More stylishness is demanded by prohibiting the point from being easily raised and making it a target to attack well.

  Although not shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 7 and 8, in the action game according to the above-described embodiment, when the mission is achieved, the final evaluation rank of the coolness is displayed on the end screen of each mission.

  When a damage point DP is obtained during mission execution, the final evaluation rank is a predetermined rank value RK that is set in advance for the damage point DP and the rank of appearance when the damage point DP is acquired, The calculation value DPn is obtained from the correction value F set in advance for each type of enemy character by the calculation formula “DP × RK × F”, and the calculation value DPn is integrated every time the damage point DP is obtained. The points DP are integrated and determined based on an evaluation value H obtained by dividing the integrated value of the calculated value DPn by the integrated value of the damage point DP.

  As the rank specified value RK, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, a predetermined value is set in advance corresponding to each rank. The rank specified value RK is set so as to increase as the rank increases. This takes into account the difficulty of maintaining a high rank. The “correction value F of the enemy character” is for increasing the calculated value DPn as the enemy character has a strong enemy character or a weak enemy character, and damages the strong enemy character. Accordingly, a higher correction value (1.5, 2.0, etc. with a coefficient of 1 or more) is set for stronger enemy characters.

  Although not shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 7 and 8, every time the damage point DP is acquired in step S <b> 11, “DP × RK × F” is calculated, and the calculated value DPn and the damage point DP are accumulated in the RAM 16. To be remembered. In other words, the RAM 16 stores Σ (DP × RK × F) and Σ (DP).

  Then, when the main character achieves the mission goal and the mission is completed, the CPU 15 reads Σ (DP × RK × F) and Σ (DP) from the RAM 16, and Σ (DP × RK × F) / Σ (DP ) To calculate the evaluation value H, and based on this evaluation value H, obtain the final evaluation rank using the table shown in FIG. 13 and display the final evaluation rank of the coolness on the mission end screen.

  For example, if the evaluation value H is “55”, the CPU 15 displays “A” rank as the final evaluation rank on the mission end screen, and if the evaluation value H is “35”, the CPU 15 displays “C” as the final evaluation rank. Is displayed. By this display, the player can grasp how well he / she attacked in the mission. At the end of the mission, for example, a graph representing a change in the stylish point SP in time series may be displayed by a selection operation.

  By the way, in the above embodiment, the evaluation of how the player moves the main character coolly and fights against the enemy character is displayed on the game screen by the rank display and the gauge display, thereby making the fun of the action game. However, when the rank displayed on the game screen is high and the gauge value is high, the player is very enthusiastic about the game and is in a highly excited state. It is considered that the operation controller 3 is being operated.

  For the player, the main character who is playing against the enemy character in the game screen is also considered to reflect his own battle state, that is, the operation state of the operation controller 3 of the player. If the main character's appearance, motion speed, and sound mode displayed on the screen are changed in accordance with the player's excitement state, the fun of the game can be improved.

Therefore, the appearance, the operation speed, and the voice of the main character may be changed in accordance with the appearance evaluation by the rank display and the gauge display. In other words, a function of expressing the player's excitement state with a game screen or sound may be linked to the coolness evaluation system.

  In this case, the rank of the appearance is made to correspond to the rank of the player's excitement state, and the higher the rank, the more excited the state, and the appearance of the main character displayed on the monitor 4 and the monitor 4 are output. The voice of the main character is changed according to the rank, and the movement speed of the main character is changed according to the rank.

  The change in the appearance of the main character displayed on the monitor 4 causes, for example, flushing of the face color or generation of an aura from the entire body as the rank increases. Also, when changing the movement speed of the main character, the movement speed is increased as the rank increases. The change in the voice of the main character output from the monitor 4 increases the height of the strange voice before or after the attack, for example, as the rank increases, Increase the types.

  As a specific configuration, the appearance of the main character, the movement speed, and the change contents of the sound are set in advance for each rank and tabulated. When the CPU 15 performs image processing on the monitor 4, the rank changes. Control is performed so as to change the appearance and movement speed of the main character corresponding to the rank. Further, when outputting a sound according to the attacking action of the main character on the game screen, the CPU 15 sends an audio signal corresponding to the rank to the monitor 4 for output at a predetermined timing.

  It should be noted that the function of reflecting the game excitement state on the game screen or voice output does not necessarily have to be linked to the coolness evaluation system. Since the stylish point SP described above can be used as a point for estimating the player's excitement state, the stylish point SP may be used to control changes in the appearance, voice, and action speed of the main character. .

  FIG. 14 and FIG. 15 are examples of flowcharts for controlling changes in the appearance, voice, and action speed of the main character using an evaluation value calculation method for displaying the appearance. In this flowchart, “rank” is not a coolness rank, but a player's excitement rank, and a gauge value G is treated as an index indicating a change state of the excitement state in each rank.

  In the flowchart shown in the figure, the process from step S61 to S91 is a process for obtaining the rank that changes due to the battle and the gauge value G in each rank, and the process from step S1 to S31 in the flowchart shown in FIGS. Are the same. Therefore, detailed explanation is omitted here, and supplementary explanation is given from step S92.

  That is, when the gauge value G is subtracted in step S91, it is subsequently determined whether or not the rank-up flag RUFG is “1” (S92), and if the rank-up flag RUFG is “1”. (S92: YES), the appearance of the main character displayed on the monitor 4, the movement speed, and the manner of the voice of the main character output from the monitor 4 are changed to an aspect corresponding to the increased rank (S93), step S96. Migrate to

  On the other hand, if the rank up flag RUFG is “0” (S92: NO), it is determined whether or not the rank down flag RDFG is “1” (S94), and if the rank down flag RDFG is “1”. (S94: YES), the appearance of the main character displayed on the monitor 4, the movement speed, and the voice of the main character output from the monitor 4 are changed to a mode corresponding to the lowered rank (S95), and step S96. Migrate to

  If both the rank-up flag RUFG and the rank-down flag RDFG are “0” (S94: NO), the appearance of the main character displayed on the monitor 4, the operating speed, and the sound of the main character output from the monitor 4 The process of changing the mode is not performed.

  In step S96, it is determined whether or not the gauge value G is “0” point. If the gauge value G is “0” point (S96: YES), the excitement rank is one. The lower rank is changed (S97), and the subtraction coefficient K is further changed to the subtraction coefficient K for the next lower rank (S98). Subsequently, the rank down flag RDFG is set to “1” (S99), the gauge value G in the next lower rank is set to the rank specified value S0 (S100), and the process proceeds to step S101. On the other hand, if the gauge value G is not the “0” point (S96: NO), steps S97 to S100 are skipped and the process proceeds to step S101.

  In step S101, it is determined whether or not all enemy characters have been defeated. If there are any enemy characters remaining (S101: NO), the process returns to step S63, and the main character appearance, movement speed, and The process of changing the voice mode is repeated. When all enemy characters are defeated (S101: YES), the battle mode ends (S102), and the process returns to step S63. In this case, since the enemy character does not appear, the process of changing the appearance, the operation speed, and the voice mode of the main character is not substantially performed.

  14 and 15 includes the gauge value G subtraction process. However, since the change of the appearance of the main character is changed in accordance with the change in rank, the gauge value G subtraction process is performed. Is not necessary.
