It is a figure which shows the example of the screen displayed on the display apparatus.

  The game device according to the embodiment provides a game in which a player's character is operated and moved to a predetermined destination in a two-dimensional or three-dimensional game field in which gimmicks that affect the progress of the game are arranged. As a gimmick, for example, an obstacle can be removed by pressing a switch, a path through which a player's character can move is formed by pressing a switch, or a player's character can jump or drop when the player's character gets on top. Gimmick to do is prepared.

  In the present embodiment, the behavior of the player's character and the operation on the gimmick are recorded, and when playing the same game field more than once, the behavior of the player's character up to the previous time is shown in the second and subsequent play. In addition to being displayed on the screen in synchronism with the start of play, an operation on the gimmick in the previous play also activates the effect on the game associated with the gimmick in this play. Thereby, it is possible to realize a novel fun that a player's character that the player has played in the past and a player's character in the current play cooperate to advance the game.

  FIG. 1 shows a configuration of a game apparatus 10 according to the embodiment. The game apparatus 10 includes a controller 20, an input reception unit 30, a control unit 40, a gimmick database 60, a history storage unit 62, a screen generation unit 66, and a display device 68. In terms of hardware components, these configurations are realized by a CPU of a computer, a memory, a program loaded in the memory, and the like, but here, functional blocks realized by their cooperation are illustrated. Accordingly, those skilled in the art will understand that these functional blocks can be realized in various forms by hardware only, software only, or a combination thereof.

  The input receiving unit 30 receives a control signal input from the controller 20 operated by the player. Based on the operation input from the player received by the input receiving unit 30, the control unit 40 controls the movement of the player character in the game field, the operation on the gimmick, and the like to advance the game. The screen generation unit 66 generates a game screen controlled by the control unit 40 and causes the display device 68 to display the game screen.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of a game screen generated by the screen generation unit 66. In the game field, a player character 81 and a passage through which the player character can move are arranged. At the start of the game, the player's character 81 appears in the game field from the door 82, and thereafter moves along the passage in accordance with an instruction input by the player. In the game screen shown in FIG. 2, when an operation for turning on the switch 85 is performed, the block 86, which is an obstacle provided in the passage, disappears in conjunction with the operation. Therefore, the player operates the player's character 81 to first climb the stairs 83 and turn on the switch 85. The player then returns to the passage on the lower floor by descending the stairs 83 or dropping the hall 84, and the lost block 86. Move to the right of the screen. When playing this game field for the second time or later, in addition to the player character 81 operated by the player, the player character operated by the player in the previous play is displayed as a ghost.

  3A, 3B, and 3C show examples of internal data of the gimmick database 60. FIG. The gimmick database 60 includes a gimmick ID column 70, a position column 71, a type column 72, an activation condition column 73, an influence column 74, and a status column 75. The gimmick ID column 70 stores the ID of the gimmick arranged in the game field. The position column 71 stores the position on the game field where the gimmick is arranged. The type column 72 stores the type of gimmick arranged in the game field. As the type of gimmick, for example, “fan” that jumps the player's character, “hole” that drops the player's character, “switch” that changes the status of another gimmick, “disappearing block” that disappears when the switch is turned on or off, "Appearing block" that appears when the switch is turned on or off, "moving block" that automatically moves within a predetermined range, "falling block" that is dropped on the player's character and thrown away when a predetermined condition is met and so on. FIG. 3A shows data of a gimmick group such as a “switch” for changing the status of another gimmick, and FIG. 3B shows an “erased block” whose status is changed by a switch or the like and whose behavior changes. FIG. 3C shows data of gimmick groups such as “fan” and “hole” whose status does not change, respectively.

  The activation condition column 73 stores conditions for activating the influence on the game stored in the influence column 74 by the gimmick. The influence column 74 stores the influence on the game activated by the gimmick when the activation condition stored in the activation condition column 73 is satisfied. For example, it is stored that the switch with the gimmick ID “01” is turned on when the player's character is within the range of 10 coordinate values on the left and right and the controller 20 is pressed as a trigger condition. ing. In addition, the disappearance block of the gimmick ID “11” stores that it disappears on the condition that the gimmick ID “01” is turned on. The status column 75 stores the gimmick status. It is stored that the switch having the gimmick ID “01” is currently “off”. The lost block with the gimmick ID “11” is currently “appearing” because the switch with the gimmick ID “01” is currently “off”.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of internal data in the history storage unit 62. The history storage unit 62 is provided with a frame ID column 76, an operation column 77, a coordinate correction column 78, and a gimmick ID column 79. In the present embodiment, for each frame of the game screen generated by the screen generation unit 66, the player's character control unit 41 receives an instruction input from the player and controls the behavior of the player's character, so a history is stored for each frame. Is done. The frame ID column 76 stores the frame number from the start of the game. The operation column 77 stores the content of the operation input from the controller 20 when the frame is generated or displayed. As described above, since the contents of the operation are stored for each frame, the ghost can be controlled in the next and subsequent plays as in the current play, and the behavior of the player's character can be reproduced.

  However, in the game of the present embodiment, the gimmick whose status is changed while the game is in progress is arranged in the game field, and the gimmick status may be different between the previous play and the current play, so simply Just recording the contents of the operation may cause inconsistencies in the ghost behavior. For example, if a block that should have disappeared at the time of the previous play appears at the time of the previous play, the player character operated by the user at the previous play will pass through the passage that the ghost in the current play will be You will not be able to pass, and the behavior of the following ghost will be incongruent. In this embodiment, even if the gimmick status is different between the time when the history is recorded in the history storage unit 62 and the current play, the gimmick status is the same as when the history is recorded. By controlling the ghost as being the same as when playing, the ghost has the same behavior as the play when the history is recorded. For this purpose, the history storage unit 62 is provided with a coordinate correction column 78 and a gimmick ID column 79.

  If the position of the player's character was corrected by a gimmick other than the terrain or object fixed in the game field, the status changed as a result of disappearing or appearing, the player's character's behavior was affected. The gimmick ID of the gimmick is stored in the coordinate correction column 78. For example, since the disappearing block of the gimmick ID “11” is appearing without disappearing, and the player's character can pass thereabove, the gimmick ID “11” is recorded in the coordinate correction column 78. Also, when a player character jumps on a fan with a gimmick ID “21” and jumps when the player character collides with a moving block, the gimmick ID “13” of the colliding moving block is recorded in the coordinate correction column 78. To do. The coordinate correction field 78 may store an absolute value or a relative value of the corrected coordinates. Further, the coordinate correction column 78 may store a direction in which the player's character collides with the gimmick and is restricted from moving. For example, if the disappeared block provided under the foot can pass over because it is appearing, information indicating `` down '' is stored, and if it collides with the moving block above during the jump and falls, `` up '' You may store the upper part which shows. As a result, even if the gimmick status is different from the actual play status, the ghost can behave in the same manner as the actual play status.

  When the player's character operates the gimmick, the gimmick ID operated by the player's character is recorded in the gimmick ID column 79. As will be described later, in this embodiment, since the operation on the gimmick stored in the history storage unit 62 is also reflected in the current play, the player's character in the previous play displayed as a ghost and the current play are displayed. The game can be advanced in cooperation with the player's character.

  The control unit 40 includes a player character control unit 41, a gimmick control unit 42, a history recording unit 43, a history reproduction unit 44, and an interruption control unit 45.

  The player character control unit 41 receives an instruction input from the player and controls the player character in accordance with the instruction input. For example, the player's character control unit 41 receives an instruction input regarding the moving direction of the player's character, which is input by the cross key of the controller 20, and moves the player's character in the indicated direction. At this time, the player's character control unit 41 refers to the data of the objects provided in a fixed manner constituting the game field stored in the game field data storage unit (not shown) and the gimmick data stored in the gimmick database 60. Then, the player's character is moved.

  More specifically, the player's character control unit 41 first refers to the collision data of the object that constitutes the game field in a fixed manner, and whether the object constituting the game field is arranged in the moving direction of the player's character. If it is determined, the player's character is prohibited from moving in that direction and stays there. If an object that prevents the movement of the player's character is not arranged in the movement direction of the player's character, then, referring to the gimmick database 60, a gimmick that prevents the movement of the player's character is arranged in the movement direction of the player's character. And whether it is appearing or not. If an appearing gimmick is placed, the player's character is prohibited from moving in that direction. When neither the object nor the gimmick exists in the moving direction of the player's character and the movement of the player's character in that direction is permitted, the player's character control unit 41 further moves the object under the player's character's moving destination. It is determined whether or not it is arranged, and if it is arranged, the player's character is moved in that direction. If it is not arranged, it is determined whether or not an appearing gimmick is arranged, and if an appearing gimmick is arranged, the player's character is moved in that direction. If neither an object nor a gimmick exists under the destination, the player's character is dropped from that position. At this time, the player's character may be dropped right below or may be dropped while being moved in the moving direction instructed by the player.

  Further, when the player's character is affected by the gimmick, the player's character control unit 41 controls the behavior of the player's character affected by the gimmick. For example, when the player's character gets on the fan, the behavior of the player's character jumping by the fan is controlled. Also, when the player character hits a vanishing block that is currently appearing while moving, the player character control unit 41 does not move the player character in the direction of the vanishing block, but stays there. At this time, since information indicating that the player's character collided with the lost block is stored in the history storage unit 62, as will be described later, even when displayed as a ghost in the next and subsequent play, It is possible to reproduce the situation where movement is restricted due to collision. When the player's character is in the vicinity of a predetermined gimmick and receives a predetermined instruction input from the controller 20, the player's character control unit 41 causes the player's character to operate the gimmick. For example, when an input of a predetermined button of the controller 20 is received when the player's character is in the vicinity of the switch, the screen generation unit 66 displays a motion in which the player's character presses the switch.

  The gimmick control unit 42 controls gimmicks arranged in the game field. The gimmick control unit 42 refers to the gimmick database 60, reads gimmick information arranged in the vicinity of the current position of the player's character, and determines whether or not the activation condition is satisfied. When the gimmick trigger condition is satisfied, the effect of the gimmick trigger on the game is notified to other components. For example, when it is detected that the player's character gets on the fan, the player's character control unit 41 is notified of this. When the player character is in the vicinity of the switch “01” and the input of the “○ button” is detected, the switch “01” is switched to the display of the “ON” state, and the lost block “11” is displayed on the game screen. The screen generation unit 66 is notified so that it disappears. At this time, the gimmick control unit 42 changes the status of the switch “01” to “ON” and changes the status of the lost block “01” to “being lost”.

  The history recording unit 43 records the behavior of the player's character and the operation for the gimmick in the history storage unit 62. The history recording unit 43, for each frame of the screen generated by the screen generation unit 66, the content of the operation on the player character input by the controller 20, the content of the operation on the gimmick, information on the gimmick that has affected the player character. Is recorded in the history storage unit 62.

  In the second and subsequent plays in the same game field, the history reproduction unit 44 reads out the previous player character behavior and the operation history for the gimmick from the history storage unit 62 in synchronization with the start of the play. The behavior of the player's character is further displayed as a ghost on the screen, and the influence on the game associated with the operation on the gimmick in the previous play is also activated in this play. The history reproduction unit 44 has a different gimmick status between the time of play recorded in the history storage unit 62 and the time of the current play, and therefore the ghost behaves differently depending on the status at the time of the current play. Even so, the history is reproduced assuming that the gimmick is in the status at the time of play in which the history was recorded. The history reproduction unit 44 may use the player's character control unit 41 to reproduce the behavior of the player's character recorded in the history storage unit 62 as a ghost.

  Unlike the player's character control unit 41, the history reproduction unit 44 does not refer to the actual gimmick status in the current play when determining a collision with the gimmick, but rather to the coordinate correction column 78 of the history storage unit 62. Refer to the result of collision judgment with the gimmick recorded in More specifically, the history reproducing unit 44 first refers to the collision data of the objects that constitute the game field fixedly, and determines whether or not the objects that constitute the game field are arranged in the ghost movement direction. If it is placed, it is prohibited to move the ghost in that direction, and it stays there. If no object that prevents the ghost movement is arranged in the ghost movement direction, the ghost is actually operated by the player as a player's character with reference to the coordinate correction column 78 of the history storage unit 62. Sometimes it is determined whether or not it has collided with a gimmick. If it has collided with the gimmick, the behavior of the ghost is determined to have collided with the gimmick this time. When neither an object nor a gimmick exists in the moving direction of the ghost, and the movement of the ghost in that direction is permitted, the history reproduction unit 44 further determines whether or not the object is placed under the ghost moving destination. If it is arranged, the ghost is moved in that direction. If it is not arranged, it is determined whether or not a gimmick that is appearing has been arranged under the feet with reference to the coordinate correction column 78 of the history storage unit 62, and if a gimmick is arranged, a ghost is directed in that direction. Move. If neither the object nor the gimmick exists under the destination, the ghost is dropped from that position. The order of the collision determination with the object and the collision determination with the gimmick may be reversed.

  When the history reproducing unit 44 performs an operation on the gimmick recorded in the history storage unit 62, the history playing unit 44 updates the status column of the gimmick database 60. Before executing the operation for the gimmick recorded in the history, the history reproducing unit 44 refers to the gimmick database 60 to check the status of the gimmick, and the effect on the game activated by the operation on the gimmick is affected by this play. If it has already been activated, it is not necessary to activate the influence on the game, assuming that there is no operation on the gimmick. For example, when a history of operating a switch that maintains an on state after being turned on is recorded, the gimmick database 60 is referred to and the status of the gimmick is confirmed before the operation is executed. If the gimmick is off, it is turned on, but if the gimmick is already on, the switch status is not changed by this operation, so the operation of turning on the switch may be ignored. At this time, instead of displaying a motion for performing an operation of turning on the switch, the player's character control unit 41 may display a motion different from the case where the status is changed.

  The history reproducing unit 44 may reproduce the behavior of the player's character of all the times of play stored in the history storage unit 62 as a ghost, or reproduce only the behavior of the player's character of a predetermined number of times of playing as a ghost. May be. For example, only a player's character for a predetermined number of times from the latest play may be reproduced. As the number of ghosts playing the history increases, the operations performed in the past play can be used for this play, so the convenience of the player can be improved, and a complex with many gimmicks arranged A game can also be provided. However, if too many ghosts are displayed on the screen at once, the screen may become complicated, and therefore, it may be limited to an appropriate number of ghosts.

  The interruption control unit 45 controls the end of each play in the same game field. When a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of play, the interruption control unit 45 ends the current play and moves to the next play. In the present embodiment, the time until the end of one play is set to be shorter than the time required to move the player's character to a predetermined place in the first play. It is designed to be able to move to a predetermined place within a limited time only by cooperating the play of the times. In the example of the game screen shown in FIG. 2, eight characters indicate that the game field can be played eight times in the lower left corner of the screen.

  When the interruption control unit 45 receives an instruction input to interrupt the current play from the player, the interruption control unit 45 ends the current play and proceeds to the next play even before a predetermined time has elapsed. Details of this function will be described later.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of a screen displayed on the display device. In the example shown in FIG. 2, when the player's character is moved to the vicinity of the switch 85 and the ○ button is input, the gimmick control unit 42 determines that the activation condition of the switch 85 is satisfied, and sets the status of the switch 85 to “ON”. Change to At this time, the player's character control unit 41 displays a motion in which the player's character turns on the switch 85. Further, the screen generation unit 66 refers to the gimmick database 60 and changes the switch 85 to the display of the on state. The gimmick controller 42 further changes the status of the block 86 to “disappearing” in conjunction with the switch 85 being turned on. The screen generation unit 66 refers to the gimmick database 60 and causes the block 86 to disappear from the screen. The screen generation unit 66 may display the lost block 86 in a translucent manner or the like.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of a screen displayed on the display device. In the second play in the same game field as in the example shown in FIG. 2, the history reproduction unit 44 reads the history of the previous play from the history storage unit 62 and reproduces it in synchronization with the start of the game. Thereby, the ghost 87 which is the player's character in the previous play is displayed on the screen. The history reproducing unit 44 may display the ghost 87 in a display mode different from the player's character in the current play.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of a screen displayed on the display device. Since the player's character performed an operation to turn on the switch 85 in the previous play, the ghost 87 also turns on the switch 85 in the current play. Therefore, in this play, it is not necessary to turn on the switch 85 by the player character, so, for example, a strategy of moving the player character to just before the block 86 and waiting until the block 86 disappears may be taken. it can. When the ghost 87 turns on the switch 85, the block 86 disappears also in this play, so that the player's character can be moved rightward on the screen. Thereby, the player's character can be moved to a desired destination in a shorter time than when the switch 85 is turned on by the player's character and then the block 86 is passed.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of a screen displayed on the display device. In the example of FIG. 8, a falling block 89 is falling above the player's character 81. The player's character 81 cannot move while the falling block 89 is above the head, but if the player presses the ○ button of the controller 20 100 times, the player's character can throw the falling block 89 away. The gimmick controller 42 records in the status column 75 of the gimmick database 60 the number of times the ○ button of the controller 20 has been input since the falling block 89 dropped on the player's character's head, and when the number reaches 100 times, The player character control unit 41 displays a motion in which the player character 81 throws the falling block 89 away.

  FIG. 9 shows an example of a screen displayed on the display device. In the second play in the same game field as the example shown in FIG. 8, when the history reproduction unit 44 reproduces the previous play and the ghost 87 is thrown the falling block 89, the ○ button is input. When the player's character 81 is moved below the falling block 89 and the ○ button is input, the gimmick control unit 42 adds the input of the ○ button in the previous play and the input of the ○ button in the current play, so The falling block 89 can be thrown away after reaching 100 times. In this way, the stage can be passed faster by cooperating the previous play and the current play.

  FIG. 10 shows an example of a screen displayed on the display device. In the example of FIG. 10, a block 88 that disappears when the switch 85 is turned on is arranged in the game field. When the player's character 81 is operated to turn on the switch 85 and then pass through the place where the block 88 is disposed, the block 88 disappears. As shown in FIG. 11, as shown in FIG. 41 drops the player's character.

  FIG. 12 shows an example of a screen displayed on the display device. In the second play in the same game field as the example shown in FIG. 10, when the ghost 87 moves onto the block 88, the player's character this time operates the switch 85 again to turn it off. Then, since the block 88 is currently appearing, the player's character 81 can pass over the block 88, but if the ghost 87 is allowed to pass over the block 88, the behavior of the ghost 87 thereafter becomes inconsistent. As described above, the history reproduction unit 44 does not perform the collision determination with the block 88 in the current play, and the block 88 does not exist for the ghost 87 with reference to the coordinate correction column 78 of the history storage unit 62. As a thing, the ghost 87 is dropped. As a result, when displaying the behavior of the player character of the previous play recorded in the history storage unit 62 as a ghost, the same behavior can be taken even if the gimmick status has changed. The ghost 87 passes through the block 88 that has not actually disappeared. However, since the player is usually gazing at the player's character, the behavior of the ghost 87 is often not a problem.

  FIG. 13 shows an example of a screen displayed on the display device. In the example of FIG. 13, the game field is provided with a fan 91 for the player character 81 to jump to the upper floor passage, and a moving block 90 that prevents the player character 81 from jumping to the upper floor passage. . As shown in FIG. 14, when the moving block 90 exists between the fan 91 and the passage on the upper floor, if the player's character 81 is moved onto the fan 91, the player's character control unit 41 causes the player's character 81 to move. Is jumped from the fan 91, but the player's character 81 is dropped because it collides with the moving block 90 during the jump. At this time, the history recording unit 43 records the gimmick ID of the moving block 90 that has affected the player's character 81 in the coordinate correction column 78 of the history storage unit 62.

  FIG. 15 shows an example of a screen displayed on the display device. In the second play in the same game field as the example shown in FIG. 13, when the history playing unit 44 plays the previous play and causes the ghost 87 to jump from the fan 91, in this play, the moving block 90 Is not present between the fan 91 and the upper floor passage. Even in this case, the history reproducing unit 44 refers to the coordinate correction column 78 of the history storage unit 62 and can recognize that the ghost 87 has collided with the moving block 90. Therefore, the ghost 87 has collided with the moving block 90. To show how it falls. As a result, the previous play can be reproduced faithfully.

  In the example shown in FIG. 2, when the strategy shown in FIG. 7 is taken, in the first play, it is sufficient to play until the switch 85 is operated and turned on. Even in such a case, if the interruption control unit 45 does not end the play until a predetermined time limit elapses, the player must wait until the predetermined time elapses. Will be damaged. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the interruption control unit 45 can interrupt the play and shift to the next play even before a predetermined time elapses according to the instruction of the player. As a result, in preparation for the next and subsequent play, the player can immediately move to the next play without waiting until a predetermined time has elapsed after performing the necessary operations. Convenience can be improved.

  In this case, the history recording unit 43 may store information indicating that no operation has been performed as the history information of the frame after the interruption of the history storage unit 62. Alternatively, the history recording unit 43 may store information indicating that play has been interrupted in a frame in which play has been interrupted. In any case, when the history reproducing unit 44 reproduces a play interrupted in the middle, the ghost after the interruption is reproduced as if no operation was received. That is, the ghost continues to stay where it was when it was interrupted. The interruption control unit 45 may accept the interruption only when the operation to the player's character can be accepted instead of accepting the interruption at an arbitrary time during the play. For example, when the player's character is blown by a fan and is in the air, or when the player's character is dropped by a hole or the like and is in the air, the interruption may not be accepted. Thereby, by accepting the interruption in a state where the behavior of the player's character is indeterminate, it is possible to prevent the behavior of the ghost from becoming indeterminate during history reproduction.
