By repeating such an operation, a battle game can be executed.

The game management station 3 is connected to the user stations 2B, 2C via the communication network 1.
..... 2N are also connected, so that each game user enjoys the atmosphere of directly playing against another game user connected to the communication network 1 by the game program of the game management station 3. be able to.

Next, the characteristic structure of this embodiment will be described.

Operation unit 500 of game management station 3
Is the number of user stations 1B, 2B, 2C,... 2N currently connected via the communication network 1, and how many user stations are connected. Recognition is based on identification data for specifying a user station.

Therefore, the user classification processing means 520 of the arithmetic unit 500 can classify the user stations (ie, game users) according to their skill levels (game strength).

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, a hierarchy group 100A is formed in a memory in the user classification processing means 520 (for example, in the server memory 3b). That is, a first level 101 for registering a game user with the lowest level of skill (weak game) for the game, and a second level 1 for registering a game user with a higher level of skill than the first level 101
02, a third level 103 for registering game users with a higher level of skill than the second level 102, a fourth level 104 for registering game users with a higher level of skill than the third level 103, and a fourth level 104. A fifth level 105 for registering a highly skilled game user;
A sixth level 106 for registering game users with a higher level of skill, a seventh level 107 for registering game users with a higher level of skill than the sixth level 106, and a seventh level 10
Register game users who are more skilled than 7
A tier 108, a ninth tier 109 for registering game users with a higher level of skill than the eighth tier 108, and a ninth tier 1
A level group 100A including a tenth level 110 for registering a game user with the highest level of skill in this game with a higher level of skill than that of the game 09 is formed. In addition, a game user with a high level of skill corresponds to a large “strength” with respect to a game.

The capacity of the first level 101 is unlimited, and the capacity is not determined. From the second layer 102 to the sixth layer 1
Up to 06, the capacity of each level is 32. The capacity of each level from the seventh level 107 to the tenth level 110 is 16 people.

First, the user classification processing means 520 of the arithmetic section 500 arranges dummy users on each of the second to tenth layers 102 to 110.

Each game user can register in the first hierarchy 101 at any time. In particular,
For example, when the game user having the user station 2A performs a “game start command” operation from the input device 2d, the CPU 2a connects to the game management station 3 via the communication network 1 and the first level in the server memory 3b. A “user having user station 2A” is registered in 101. In addition, other game users,
It is registered in the first hierarchy 101.

The game processing means 510 of the arithmetic unit 500
A tournament-type battle game (combat calculation) is executed in each level in order from the tenth level 110 at regular intervals, for example, every 15 minutes, and the winner of each level moves to the next higher level. Can be. That is, the game management station 3
The user classification processing means 520 rewrites the layer 100A in the memory (for example, in the server memory 3b) based on the winner of each layer obtained as a result of the battle. In the present embodiment, since the game can be executed every time a fixed time elapses, the game processing means 510 automatically executes a battle calculation after a certain time (e.g., every 15 minutes), and determines the winner of each hierarchy. You can move to the next higher level.

The game processing means 51 of the arithmetic section 500
0, the battle game (battle calculation) is executed between the game users registered in the first layer 101, and the winner of the first layer 101 in the tournament format is the second layer 1
Promoted to 02. If the number of game users registered in the first level 101 is one, the second level 1
Promoted to 02.

Next, the calculation unit 5 of the game management station 3
The game processing means 510 of 00 performs a tournament-type battle game (combat calculation) in each tier using the newly determined tier 100A, and the user classification processing means 520 assigns one winner to each tier. Move up one level.

Note that the hierarchy group 100A is not limited to ten layers, but may be any appropriate layer. The hierarchy group 100A is not limited to one as shown in FIG. 4, and a plurality of hierarchy groups (100B, 100C, etc.) may be prepared, and the middle hierarchy group 100B and the higher hierarchy group 100C may be prepared. . For example, in the configuration in which the winner of the tenth hierarchy 110 of the hierarchy group 100A moves to the middle hierarchy group 100B, the winner of the highest hierarchy of the middle hierarchy group 100 moves to the higher hierarchy group 100C. You can also.

Here, as a result of executing a tournament-type battle game (combat calculation) in each level, even if a game user who cannot win or has a low winning rate is not moved to a weaker level. It is desirable to have a configuration. This is because there is a concern that a game user with a low level of skill in the game may lose interest rapidly if he or she moves down the hierarchy.

In this embodiment, the tournament system has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the tournament system, and any battle method can be adopted. For example,
Theoretically, a brute force method could be employed.

Here, the operation of the game system 1000 will be described with reference to FIG.

First, step 1 (hereinafter abbreviated as S1)
Then, start the battle game. Then, in S2, the first
A tournament-type battle game (battle calculation) is executed in each of the layers from the 0th layer 110 to the first layer 101 in order. Then, the tenth hierarchy 110 to the first hierarchy 101
By the above, it is determined whether or not the winner has been determined. If it is determined in S3 that the winner has not been determined, the process returns to S2 and the battle game is continued. When the winner is determined in S3, the process proceeds to S4, and in S4, the winner from the first hierarchy 101 to the ninth hierarchy 109 moves by one hierarchy.

At S5, the uppermost floor (the tenth hierarchy 11
It is determined whether the winner of 0) has been determined. That is, as described above, initially, dummy users are allocated,
It is determined that the winner on the top floor (the tenth hierarchy 110) is not a dummy user. That is, at S5, the top floor (tenth floor)
If it is determined that the winner of the hierarchy 110) is the dummy user, the process returns to S2 and the battle game is repeated. If it is determined in S5 that the winner on the top floor (the tenth hierarchy 110) is not a dummy user but an actual game user, the process proceeds to S6.

In S6, the winner of the top floor (the tenth hierarchy 110) is deleted from the top floor (the tenth hierarchy 110) as the capture game user of the hierarchy group 100A. The capture game user of the deleted hierarchy group 100A may be moved to the intermediate hierarchy group 200.

When the deletion of the capture game user in the hierarchy group 100A is completed in S6, the process proceeds to S7, and the game is ended.

Next, the tournament battle of each level will be described with reference to FIG. In the tournament battle, if the number of participants is ²ⁿ , the winner can be determined by simply performing the battle from the bottom.

Then, in S1, the tournament battle of each layer is started. In S2, the user classification processing means 520 of the calculation unit 500 of the game management station 3 determines whether or not the number of participants in the hierarchy is ²ⁿ . ^If it is determined in S2 that the number of participants is ²ⁿ , the process proceeds to S3, where a tournament battle is executed. If it is determined in S2 that the number of participants is not ²ⁿ , the process proceeds to S4, and in S4, two game users who have not been selected are determined by random numbers.
The generation of the random numbers can be processed by the arithmetic unit by an appropriate method.

At S5, a battle game (battle processing) is performed by the two players selected at S4. Next, in S6, S5
Game users who lose in the battle game (battle processing) are excluded from this tournament battle.

[0073] Then, in S7, the participants of the game user remaining in this tournament, it is determined whether or not 2 ^n, if the participant is a 2 ^n, are configured so as to advance to S3 I have. In S7, if the number of game user participants remaining in this tournament match is not ²ⁿ , S
4.

At S3, a tournament battle is executed, and when the winner of the hierarchy is determined, the process proceeds to S8, and the process is terminated.

In the present embodiment configured as described above, the game user can give up the challenge to the higher hierarchy at any time. Further, the game user who has won the highest rank may be configured to obtain a predetermined score or the like. Furthermore, even if the winner of each hierarchy does not win the top hierarchy, an appropriate score may be obtained.

Further, if desired by the game user, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the user participates in the game from the lowest hierarchy of the desired hierarchy group.

When a plurality of hierarchical groups are prepared,
It is possible to simply differentiate the hierarchy group by the "strength" for the game, but it is also possible to set up a hierarchy group of approximately the same "strength" or select the hierarchy group according to the game user's preference is there.

Further, in the present embodiment, the arithmetic unit 500 automatically executes the battle calculation at a fixed time (for example, every 15 minutes), so that the game user can appropriately determine the battle result of the game, the belonging rank, the score, etc. It is possible to confirm from the user station.

In the present invention configured as described above, since a plurality of seats exist in the hierarchy and the game is executed in the hierarchy, the difference in the number of battles between the game users is small, and there is a sense of fairness. This has the effect.

Since the hierarchies are classified according to the level of skill in the game, even weak game users generally have
There is a great chance to win, and even beginners can enjoy it.

Further, since the battle calculation is independent for each layer, there is an effect that the calculation processing load of the calculation unit 500 is reduced and the processing is smooth.

Although the present embodiment has been described with reference to a battle game, the present invention is not limited to a battle game but can be applied to a general game. Electronic storage media are CD, FD, DV
Any medium that can store a computer program or the like, such as D or a semiconductor memory, can be used.
