Thus, the player can easily identify whether a card is owned by them.

[0113] When a card is clicked in the card overview screen and the card generation screen, as shown in FIG4D, the card details screen is displayed. In the card details screen, various information related to the clicked card is displayed. In addition, the card details screen is provided with a decomposition label 37a and a generation label 37b. The amount of coins obtained is displayed in the "Decompose" tab (37a). When you click "Decompose".When tag 37a is used, the currently selected card is disassembled, and the player receives the amount of coins displayed on tag 37a. Furthermore, when a card is disassembled, the number of cards owned decreases.

[0114] Additionally, the amount of coins consumed is displayed on tag 37b. When tag 37b is clicked, the number of coins displayed on tag 37b is consumed to generate the currently selected card. When a card is generated, the number of cards owned increases. In other words, players can exchange their coins for cards by clicking tag 37b. This card generation function can be performed regardless of whether the player owns the cards. That is, players can generate cards for both owned and unowned cards.

[0115] Furthermore, among the provided cards, it is possible to set which cards can be generated and which cannot be generated, or to generate all cards. It may also include cards with a set period for which they can and cannot be generated.

[0116] In addition, the card set includes cards that can evolve during card battle games, which will be described in detail later. In this embodiment, "evolution" means that the card selected by the player is changed into another card. When a card evolves, the card's performance is enhanced.

[0117] A first button 37c and a second button 37d are provided in the card details screen. In the card details screen of a card that can evolve, the first button 37c is active. Although the illustration is omitted, when the first button 37c is clicked, the details of the evolved card are displayed in the card details screen.

[0118] Furthermore, the above-mentioned card details specification page 7 / 36 10 CN 122319023 A screen is displayed both during and outside of card battle games. During card battle games, the card details screen can be displayed not only for the player's own cards but also for the opponent's cards. Therefore, during the card battle game, players can know what kind of cards their opponents can evolve into.

[0119] Next, the card battle game will be explained. Below, after explaining the overview of the card battle game, the details of the cards and the details of the card battle game will be explained in turn. In addition, the card battle game in which you battle against other players will be explained here. In addition, below, other players who are your opponents will be referred to as opponents.

[0120] FIG5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the battle screen. When the multiplayer selection operation unit 30c of the menu bar 30 is clicked to display various setting screens and settings are made in the setting screen, the card battle game starts. During the execution of the card battle game, the battle screen shown in FIG5 is displayed on the touch panel 26.

[0121] The battle screen is divided into a player display area 40a that displays the player's cards, information, etc., and an area that displays the opponent's cards.Opponent display area 40b displays cards, information, etc. The player's main character 41a is displayed in the center below the player display area 40a.

[0122] Additionally, a health display area 42a, representing the health of the player's main character 41a, is displayed near the player's main character 41a. Furthermore, an evolution information display area 43a is displayed near the player's main character 41a, which displays information related to the availability of evolution or super evolution, as described later. Additionally, an evolution / super evolution point display area 44a is displayed near the player's main character 41a, representing the remaining number of evolution points or super evolution points associated with the player's player ID (hereinafter also referred to as player-owned), as described later.

[0123] Similarly, the opponent's main character 41b is displayed in the center above the opponent display area 40b. Additionally, a health display area 42b, representing the health of the opponent's main character 41b, is displayed near the opponent's main character 41b. Additionally, an evolution information display area 43b is displayed near the opponent's leader 41b. This evolution information display area 43b is used to display information related to whether evolution or super evolution is available, as detailed later. Additionally, an evolution / super evolution point display area 44b is displayed near the opponent's leader 41b. This evolution / super evolution point display area 44b indicates the remaining number of evolution points or super evolution points possessed by the opponent, as detailed later.

[0124] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the player's leader 41a's health, i.e., the value displayed in the health display area 42a, is set to 20 as an initial value. Similarly, the opponent's leader 41b's health, i.e., the value displayed in the health display area 42b, is set to 20 as an initial value.

[0125] Furthermore, in the player display area 40a, the player's deck area 45a is located at the right end, the player's hand area 46a is located at the lower right, and the player's battlefield 47a is located in the center. Unused cards of the player are placed face down, i.e., in an unidentifiable state, in the deck area 45a. Cards that are part of the player's hand are placed in the hand area 46a in a way that the player can identify. Cards played from the hand area 46a are placed on the battlefield 47a in a way that the player can identify.

[0126] Similarly, in the opponent display area 40b, the opponent's deck area 45b is located at the right end, the opponent's hand area 46b is located at the upper left, and the opponent's battlefield 47b is located in the center. Unused cards of the opponent are placed face down in the deck area 45b. Cards that are part of the opponent's hand are placed face down, i.e., in the hand area 46b in a way that the player cannot identify, i.e., face down. Cards played from the hand area 46b are placed on the battlefield 47b in a way that the player can identify.

[0127] An end-of-turn button 48 for accepting player clicks and a notification pin are provided in the upper right part of the player display area 40a.An operable time meter 48a is provided for each round, and a game point display unit 49a is provided to display the player's game points (PP).

[0128] The operable time meter 48a is displayed around the round end button 48. The operable time meter 48a is displayed at the start of the player's round. Moreover, as time passes, the black portion changes into a crosshair. That is, as time passes, the black portion gradually decreases. In other words, the operable time meter 48a visually indicates the remaining operable time in the round by the length and area of ​​the black portion. In addition, when the player's round ends, the operable time meter 48a becomes undisplayed.

[0129] Furthermore, in this embodiment, different operable times are set before and after the evolution unlock round when the player can use evolution, which will be described in detail later. In this embodiment, the length of the black portion after the initial display of the operable time meter 48a varies depending on the length of the operable time set for each round. That is, the length of the black portion after the initial display of the operable time meter 48a in rounds with relatively long operable times is displayed longer than the length of the black portion after the initial display of the operable time meter 48a in rounds with relatively short operable times.

[0130] However, the length of the black portion after the initial display of the operable time meter 48a may be set to a common length regardless of the length of the operable time set for each round. In this case, it is sufficient to make the rate of decrease of the black portion of the operable time meter 48a in rounds with relatively long operable times slower than the rate of decrease of the black portion of the operable time meter 48a in rounds with relatively short operable times.

[0131] In addition, in this embodiment, the remaining time of operable time in each round is visually indicated by the operable time meter 48a, but the remaining time of operable time may also be indicated directly as a numerical value. Alternatively, the remaining playable time in each round can be indirectly indicated by changes in the display methods such as background images and special effects.

[0132] In the game point display unit 49a, the maximum game point in the current round is displayed as the denominator, and the playable game point is displayed as the numerator. In addition, in the game point display unit 49a, the maximum game point and the playable game point are displayed in a recognizable manner by displaying dots. In addition, a game point display unit 49b that displays the opponent's game points is provided near the main player 41b in the opponent display area 40b.

[0133] In addition, a battle log button 50 is provided at the left end of the battle screen. The battle log button 50 is configured to enable...The player's click operation is accepted. When the battle log button 50 is clicked, the battle log is overlaid on the battle screen. The battle log represents various events that occur during the battle game after the battle log button 50 is clicked.

[0134] The card battle game in this embodiment is a two-player battle type. Cards are randomly assigned to the player's hand from the deck selected by the player. Similarly, cards are randomly assigned to the opponent's hand from the deck selected by the opponent. In addition, in the card battle game, the player's turn and the opponent's turn are repeated alternately. In each turn, cards randomly selected from the deck are added to the hand.

[0135] During their turn, the player selects follower cards or amulet cards from the cards configured in their hand area 46a according to the prescribed rules and plays them to the battlefield 47a, or uses spell cards to activate the prescribed effects. Furthermore, the following situations will be referred to as "playing": playing follower cards or amulet cards placed in hand zones 46a and 46b onto the battlefield 47a and 47b, or using spell cards placed in hand zones 46a and 46b to activate a specified effect, that is, moving cards placed in hand zones 46a and 46b to other zones.

[0136] In the card battle game, the player's leader 41a and the opponent's leader 41b are each given health. The side that first reduces the opponent's health to 0 through attacks using cards, etc., wins. Next, details of the cards used in the card battle game of this embodiment will be explained.

[0137] Figure 6A is a first diagram illustrating an example of a follower card. Figure 6B is a second diagram illustrating an example of a follower card. Figure 7A is a diagram illustrating an example of a spell card. Figure 7B is a diagram illustrating an example of an amulet card. In this embodiment of the card battle game, the cards used are classified into any one of the following card categories: follower cards, spell cards, and amulet cards.

[0138] As shown in Figures 6A, 6B, 7A, and 7B, each card, regardless of its category, is assigned a name 51, a class 52, a type 53, and a cost 54. The name 51 is inherently assigned to each card. That is, the name 51 can also be called the card name. The class 52 has multiple categories, and each card is classified into a certain class. The type 53 has multiple categories, and for each card, there are cards classified into a certain type and cards not classified into any type. The cost 54 represents the game points required to play the card. By consuming game points equivalent to the cost, the card can be played.

[0139] The follower cards shown in Figures 6A and 6B are the leader 41b and his companion cards that can attack the opponent in card battle games.The card is a follower card placed on the opponent's battlefield 47b. Each follower card has a name 51, class 52, type 53, cost 54, ability 55, attack power 56, health 57, and illustration. Attack power 56 represents the amount of damage dealt to the opponent's leader 41b or a follower card placed on the opponent's battlefield 47b when the follower card attacks. When damaged, health 57 decreases by an amount equivalent to the damage received; when health 57 reaches 0, the follower card is destroyed. Furthermore, the destroyed card is removed from the battlefield 47a and sent to the graveyard (not shown). However, in addition to the state of being removed from the battlefield 47b, there is also a state of destruction, such as being annihilated instead of being sent to the graveyard.

[0140] Furthermore, in this embodiment, follower cards can evolve by consuming evolution points or super evolution points displayed in the evolution / super evolution point display areas 44a and 44b. Furthermore, follower cards can be super-evolved by consuming super-evolution points displayed in the evolution / super-evolution point display areas 44a and 44b. The illustration of the evolved or super-evolved follower card changes, or its attack power 56 and health 57 increase, or a specified ability 55 is added to it. That is, through follower card evolution or super-evolution, the card's performance and effects (ability 55, attack power 56, health 57) are enhanced.

[0141] In addition, in this embodiment, for follower cards capable of evolution and super-evolution, the degree to which performance and effects (ability 55, attack power 56, health 57) are enhanced is set higher in the super-evolution case compared to the evolution case. That is, for follower cards capable of evolution and super-evolution, super-evolution is more advantageous to the player than the evolution case. However, for follower cards that can evolve and mega-evolve, it is also possible to set the degree to which their performance and effects (ability 55, attack power 56, health 57) are enhanced equally when they evolve and when they mega-evolve. However, evolution and mega-evolution only need to differ in at least one of the following: the way the illustration changes, the way the attack power 56 or health 57 changes, and the way the ability 55 changes.

[0142] The spell card shown in Figure 7A is set with name 51, class 52, type 53, cost 54, and ability 55. The spell card activates its ability 55 (effect) by being played, and the spell card is destroyed. That is, the spell card cannot be played on the battlefield 47a or 47b.

[0143] The amulet card shown in Figure 7B is set with name 51, class 52, type 53, cost 54, and ability 55. The amulet card is a card that stays on the battlefield 47a and activates its ability 55 by being played.

[0144] Figure 8 is a diagram illustrating one example of capability 55. Furthermore, capability 55 shown in Figure 8 is an example, and other capabilities may also be provided.Ability 55 is optional; some abilities may not be set to 55. Furthermore, this explanation assumes the player's cards are the same, but the opponent's cards are also considered.

[0145] As shown in Figure 8, regarding ability 55, there are abilities such as Entry, Last Words, Guard, Rush, Dash, Destruction, Siphon, Direct Summon, Evolve, and Fusion. Entry is an ability that activates the effect described in "Entrance" when a card is played from hand zone 46a to battlefield 47a (when the card is played). For example, in the follower card example shown in Figure 6A, when the follower card is played to battlefield 47a, the effect "Draw 1 Card" is activated, drawing 1 card from the cards configured in deck zone 45a and configuring the chosen card in hand zone 46a.

[0146] Last Words is an ability that activates the effect described in "Last Words" when a card is destroyed. **Guard:** When a card with Guard is placed on the battlefield 47a, the opponent is unable to attack cards other than those with Guard. **Rush:** During the turn the card is played onto the battlefield 47a, the opponent's follower cards can be attacked.

[0147] **Rush:** During the turn the card is played onto the battlefield 47a, the opponent's follower cards and leader 41b can be attacked. **Destroy:** When damage is dealt to an opponent's follower card, the follower card's health is destroyed regardless of its health. **Siphon:** During the player's turn, when damage is dealt to an opponent's follower card or leader 41b, the health displayed in the leader 41a's health display area 42a is restored by an amount equal to the damage dealt.

[0148] Direct Summoning is the ability to directly play a card from Deck Zone 45a to Battlefield 47a when pre-set conditions are met.

[0149] Evolution is the ability to activate the effect described in "Evolution" when a follower card evolves. Mega Evolution is the ability to activate the effect described in "Mega Evolution" when a follower card Mega Evolves.

[0150] Fusion is the ability granted to a base card that becomes the fusion source. It is the ability to strengthen a card by fusing it with a card that meets pre-set conditions and is placed in Hand Zone 46a as a material card. In addition, there are cases where multiple abilities 55 are set on a single card, and there are also cases where no ability 55 is set on a single card.

[0151] Moreover, in this embodiment, follower cards, spell cards, and amulet cards are combined to form a deck, and the deck is used to play a card battle game. The details of the card battle game will be explained below.

Figure 11C is the ninth figure illustrating an example of the change in the battle screen. Figure 12A is the tenth figure illustrating an example of the change in the battle screen. Figure 12B is the eleventh figure illustrating an example of the change in the battle screen.

[0153] When the card battle game starts, the deck information to be used is sent from player terminal 1 to server 1000. In addition, deck information is also sent from the opponent's player terminal 1 to server 1000. Server 1000 randomly determines who goes first and who goes second. In addition, server 1000 randomly assigns an index (e.g., numbers 1 to 40) to all cards represented by the deck information. Additionally, server 1000 determines 3 initial candidate cards and 3 exchange candidate cards from the cards represented by the deck information.

[0154] Then, server 1000 is configured so that player terminal 1 can obtain initial information. The initial information includes first-attack and second-attack information indicating whether the player goes first or second. In addition, the initial information includes index information indicating the index of the player's cards. In addition, the initial information includes exchange information indicating the initial cards and exchange candidate cards. In addition, the initial information includes evolution / mega-evolution turn information, which indicates the evolution unlock turn that allows the player to use evolution and the mega-evolution unlock turn that allows the player to use mega-evolution. In addition, the initial information includes evolution / mega-evolution point information indicating the number of evolution points and mega-evolution points assigned to the player ID and the opponent's player ID.

[0155] Furthermore, when an operation to consume evolution points or super evolution points is performed on player terminal 1, server 1000 updates the player's evolution / super evolution point information in a manner that reduces the number of evolution points and super evolution points possessed by the player. Then, server 1000 is configured so that player terminal 1 and the opponent's player terminal 1 can obtain the updated player's evolution / super evolution point information. Similarly, when an operation to consume evolution points or super evolution points is performed on the opponent's player terminal 1, server 1000 updates the opponent's evolution / super evolution point information in a manner that reduces the number of evolution points and super evolution points possessed by the opponent. Then, server 1000 is configured so that player terminal 1 and the opponent's player terminal 1 can obtain the updated opponent's evolution / super evolution point information. (See specification page 11 / 36, 14 CN 122319023 A)Therefore, it is possible to know the changes in the player's or opponent's evolution points and mega-evolution points on both player terminals 1.

[0156] In player terminal 1, when the card battle game starts, as shown in FIG9A, the first attack or second attack information is displayed on the touch panel 26. Then, in player terminal 1, as shown in FIG9B, based on the exchange information, 3 initial candidate cards are configured in the initial card display area 60, and the exchange display area 61 for configuring the cards to be exchanged is displayed on the touch panel 26.

[0157] If there are cards to be exchanged in the initial candidate cards, as shown in FIG9C, the player moves the cards to be exchanged to the exchange display area 61 by sliding. Then, when the player clicks the decision button 62, player terminal 1 returns the cards moved to the exchange display area 61 to the deck area 45a, and determines the initial cards as the initial cards, including the initial candidate cards that have not been exchanged and the number of exchange candidate cards that are equivalent to the number of initial candidate cards that have been exchanged. Then, player terminal 1 sends initial card information representing the determined initial cards to server 1000.

[0158] In addition, server 1000 also receives initial card information from the opponent's player terminal 1. When server 1000 receives initial card information from both the player and the opponent, player terminal 1 set to the player can obtain card count information showing only the number of cards contained in the opponent's initial card information. Similarly, when server 1000 receives initial card information from both the player and the opponent, player terminal 1 set to the opponent can obtain card count information showing only the number of cards contained in the player's initial card information.

[0159] When player terminal 1 receives the card count information, as shown in FIG10A, the battle screen is displayed on touch panel 26. At this time, the determined initial cards are configured in a recognizable manner in hand area 46a, and 3 cards are configured in a non-recognizable manner in hand area 46b based on the received opponent's card count information. At this time, the operable time meter 48a is not displayed.

[0160] Subsequently, when the player goes first, as shown in FIG10B, the player terminal 1 displays an image on the touch panel 26 indicating the player's turn as "Your Turn". At this time, the player terminal 1 also displays the number of turns remaining until the player can use the evolution unlock. In the case shown in FIG10B, the touch panel 26 displays an image indicating "4 turns remaining until evolution is possible".

[0161] In addition, based on the evolution / mega-evolution point information, three icon images representing 3 evolution points associated with the player ID of the player who goes first (hereinafter also referred to as those assigned to the player) are displayed in the evolution / mega-evolution point display area 44a. At this time, since the player's evolution unlock turn (5th turn in this embodiment) has not yet been reached, the evolution / mega-evolution...The point display area 44a displays three icons in a way that indicates that the card is unusable (highlighted in white in the image). Additionally, the evolution information display area 43a displays evolution information in a way that indicates that evolution and super evolution are unusable (highlighted in white in the image).

[0162] Furthermore, the evolution / super evolution point display area 44b displays four icon images representing the 4 evolution points assigned to the opponent's player ID who attacks second. At this time, since the opponent's evolution unlock turn (turn 4 in this embodiment) has not yet arrived, four icons in the evolution / super evolution point display area 44a are displayed in a way that indicates that the card is unusable (highlighted in white in the image). Additionally, the evolution information display area 43b displays evolution information in a way that indicates that evolution and super evolution are unusable (highlighted in white in the image).

[0163] Then, in the server 1000, one index is determined by drawing from the indexes of the cards in the deck area 45a. That is, here, one card is determined by drawing from the cards in the deck area 45a. Then, as shown in FIG12C, player terminal 1 configures the cards determined by drawing into hand area 46a.

[0164] In addition, at the start of the turn, the player's game points are incremented by 1 in server 1000. Player terminal 1 updates the game point display unit 49a (here, the game points are set to 1). Manual 12 / 36 pages 15 CN 122319023 A

[0165] In addition, the start time of the turn and the scheduled end time of the turn are stored in server 1000. The scheduled end time of the turn is the time obtained by adding the operable time set for the start of the turn to the start time of the turn. In addition, in server 1000, when the player's turn begins, player terminal 1 is configured to obtain the operable time, i.e., the remaining time, of the start of the turn. In addition, when the opponent's turn begins, the opponent's player terminal 1 is configured to obtain the operable time, i.e., the remaining time, of the start of the turn.

[0166] Player terminal 1 starts displaying the operable time meter 48a based on the remaining time information received from server 1000. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the operable time is set to 45 seconds in rounds before the evolution unlock round (rounds 1 to 3 in this embodiment). In rounds after the evolution unlock round (rounds 4 and later in this embodiment), the operable time is set to 70 seconds. In rounds before the evolution unlock round, the length of the black portion of the operable time meter 48a at the beginning of its display is approximately 3 / 4 of the circumference. Moreover, as shown in Figures 10B and 10C, the black portion of the operable time meter 48a gradually decreases as time passes.

[0167] Furthermore, when communication of player terminal 1 is interrupted during a player's round, and communication of player terminal 1 afterwards...If the player's turn resumes, player terminal 1 can also obtain the remaining time of the operable time from server 1000 and restart the display of operable time meter 48a based on the obtained remaining time of operable time. Furthermore, if player terminal 1's communication is interrupted during the opponent's turn, and then resumes during the player's turn, player terminal 1 can similarly obtain the remaining time of the operable time from server 1000 and restart the display of operable time meter 48a based on the obtained remaining time of operable time.

[0168] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the following situation is shown: in a turn after the evolution unlocking turn, even if the player uses up both evolution points and mega-evolution points, the operable time does not change. However, it is also possible to shorten the operable time if the player uses up all evolution points and mega-evolution points.

[0169] Additionally, when the player's or opponent's turn begins, server 1000 stores the predetermined end time of that turn. Furthermore, when a player's turn begins, the remaining time information, indicating the operable time of the started turn (i.e., the remaining time), is sent to player terminal 1. Similarly, when an opponent's turn begins, the remaining time information, indicating the operable time of the started turn (i.e., the remaining time), is sent to the opponent's player terminal 1.

[0170] Subsequently, as shown in FIG11A, for example, when a follower card with a cost of 1 is played from the hand area 46a to the battlefield 47a via a swipe operation based on the player's action, the server 1000 decrements the player's game points by 1. When the server 1000 decrements the player's game points by 1, player terminal 1 updates the game point display unit 49a. Furthermore, when an ability 55 is activated through a played card, the server 1000 is configured so that both player terminal 1 and the opponent's player terminal 1 can obtain ability activation information containing the content of the ability 55 to be activated. Therefore, both player terminal 1 and the opponent's player terminal 1 can know the content of the activation of ability 55 due to the playing of a card and the activated ability 55.

[0171] In addition, player terminal 1 sends playing information to server 1000, which includes card information indicating that the card was played on battlefield 47a. When server 1000 receives the playing information, it is set so that the opponent's player terminal 1 can obtain the received playing information. In addition, the server reduces the player's game points based on the card played on battlefield 47a. Therefore, in the opponent's player terminal 1, the card indicated by the playing information is played on the opponent's battlefield 47b, and the display of the opponent's game points is updated on the display unit 49b.

[0172] Afterwards, when the player clicks the end of turn button 48, player terminal 1 sends a turn information to server 1000.End-of-turn information. When the server 1000 receives the end-of-turn information, it ends the player's turn. Furthermore, if the end-of-turn button 48 is not clicked by the scheduled end-of-turn time (page 13 / 36 of the specification, CN 122319023 A), the server 1000 ends the player's turn based on the scheduled end-of-turn time having been reached.

[0173] Furthermore, if a card that activates ability 55 under the condition of end-of-turn is played out of the battlefield (47a, 47b), the server 1000 configures the player's terminal 1 and the opponent's player terminal 1 to be able to obtain ability activation information.

[0174] Additionally, when the player's turn ends, the display of the operable time meter 48a stops. Furthermore, the server 1000, based on the elapsed time from the start of the turn at the time the player's turn ends, exports the usage time during the ended player's turn and stores it in association with the player ID. Furthermore, when the opponent's turn ends, the server 1000 exports the usage time during the ended opponent's turn based on the elapsed time from the start of the turn at the time the opponent's turn ends, and stores it in association with the opponent's player ID. However, it is also possible not to export the usage time every time the turn ends, but to export the usage time for each turn after the game ends.

[0175] That is, in this embodiment, when the player or opponent clicks the turn end button 48, or when the predetermined turn end time is reached, the turn end condition is met, and the turn ends.

[0176] When the player's turn ends, the server 1000 sets turn start information to start the opponent's turn, so that the opponent's player terminal 1 starts the turn.

[0177] Then, in the player's player terminal 1, as shown in FIG11B, an image indicating that it is the opponent's turn and recorded as "enemy's turn" is displayed on the touch panel 26. Then, in the server 1000, two indices are determined by drawing from the indices of the cards in the deck area 45b. In other words, here, two cards are selected from the cards in deck area 45b by drawing. When player terminal 1 receives the number of cards from server 1000, as shown in FIG11C, it arranges the cards in hand area 46b in an unidentifiable manner based on the number of cards.

[0178] Furthermore, at the start of the turn, one card is usually selected by drawing, but only in the first turn of the second turn is two cards selected by drawing. In addition, when the opponent's game points are increased by 1 in server 1000, player terminal 1 increases the opponent's game points by 1 and updates the game point display unit 49b.

[0179] Afterwards, when the opponent ends their turn and receives the turn start information from server 1000, as shown in FIG12A, player terminal 1 displays an image on touch panel 26 indicating that it is the player's turn, recorded as "Your Turn". At this time, the player endsThe terminal 1 displays the number of turns remaining until the player's evolution is unlocked. In the case shown in Figure 12A, the touch panel 26 displays an image stating "3 turns remaining until evolution is possible".

[0180] Additionally, when the server 1000 selects an index from the card in the deck area 45a by drawing, the player terminal 1 places the selected card into the hand area 46a. Additionally, when the server 1000 increments the player's game points by 1, the player terminal 1 updates the game points display section 49a (here, the game points are set to 2).

[0181] Then, as shown in Figure 12B, the player slides a follower card placed on the battlefield 47a to the opponent's leader 41b. Based on this slide, the player terminal 1 sends attack information to the server 1000 indicating that the follower card that attacked and the follower card or leader 41b that became the target of the attack. When server 1000 receives an attack message, it is configured so that player terminal 1 and opponent's player terminal 1 can obtain attack result information. This attack result information includes information indicating the result of reducing the health of the attacked follower card or leader 41b, information indicating the result of reducing the health of the follower card that made the attack, etc. Then, based on the received attack result information, player terminal 1 reduces the health displayed in the health display area 42b of opponent's leader 41b by a value equivalent to the attack power 56 of that follower card. In addition, when the ability 55 is activated by attack, server 1000 is configured so that player terminal 1 and opponent's player terminal 1 can obtain ability activation information. Specification 14 / 36 pages 17 CN 122319023 A

[0182] As described above, the player's turn and the opponent's turn are repeated alternately. Whenever the player or the opponent plays a card or makes an attack, the information is sent to server 1000, thereby the card battle game gradually progresses. Furthermore, server 1000 exports the usage time at the end of each round during the card battle game and stores the exported usage time sequentially in association with the player ID or the opponent's player ID.

[0183] Then, when the health displayed in the health display area 42a of the player's leader 41a or the health displayed in the health display area 42b of the opponent's leader 41b becomes 0, the winner is determined and the card battle game ends. In addition, conditions other than the health of the leader 41a or leader 41b becoming 0 can also be included in the conditions for determining the winner. For example, the winner can also be determined based on the complete disappearance of cards in deck area 45a or deck area 45b, i.e., the deck is exhausted. Alternatively, the winner can also be determined based on drawing a special card that is configured at the bottom of deck area 45a and deck area 45b.Alternatively, the outcome can be determined based on pre-set special conditions other than those mentioned above. For example, the special conditions can be met when the ability 55 of a card with a special ability 55 set to determine the outcome is activated. When the card battle game ends, the ending screen described later is displayed (Figs. 19A and 19B).

[0184] Next, the evolution of follower cards will be explained. In the card battle game of this embodiment, after the evolution unlocking turn, follower cards can be evolved by consuming the evolution points displayed in the evolution / meta-evolution point display areas 44a and 44b. In this embodiment, the evolution unlocking turn is set to the 5th turn for the first player and the 4th turn for the second player. However, the evolution unlocking turn is not limited to this. For example, the evolution unlocking turn may be at the start of the card battle game, i.e., the 1st turn.

[0185] In addition, after the meta-evolution unlocking turn, players can consume the meta-evolution points displayed in the evolution / meta-evolution point display areas 44a and 44b to meta-evolve follower cards. In this embodiment, the Mega Evolution unlock round is set to the 7th round for the first attacker and the 6th round for the second attacker. However, the Mega Evolution unlock round is not limited to this. In short, the Mega Evolution unlock round can be later than the Evolution unlock round.

[0186] Furthermore, in this embodiment, 3 Evolution Points are assigned when attacking first and 4 Evolution Points are assigned when attacking second.

[0187] In addition, in this embodiment, when attacking first, in the 7th round, a maximum of 2 Evolution Points are converted into 2 Mega Evolution Points, and the converted Mega Evolution Points are assigned. Specifically, when attacking first, if there are 2 or more Evolution Points remaining in the 7th round, the 2 Evolution Points are converted into 2 Mega Evolution Points, and the converted Mega Evolution Points are assigned. In addition, when attacking first, if there are 1 Evolution Point remaining in the 7th round, the 1 Evolution Point is converted into 1 Mega Evolution Point, and the converted Mega Evolution Points are assigned. Furthermore, in the case of going first, if the remaining evolution points in round 7 are 0, then no change in evolution points or the granting of mega evolution points will occur. For example, if the player goes first and has 3 evolution points in round 7, then 2 evolution points will be converted into mega evolution points. As a result of this conversion, the player will have 1 evolution point and 2 mega evolution points.

[0188] In addition, in this embodiment, in the case of going second, in round 6, a maximum of 2 evolution points will be converted into 2 mega evolution points, and the converted mega evolution points will be granted. Specifically, in the case of going second, if the remaining evolution points in round 6 are 2 or more, then the 2 evolution points will be converted into 2 mega evolution points, and the converted mega evolution points will be granted. In addition, in the case of going second, if the remaining evolution points in round 6 are 1,Then, 1 evolution point is converted into 1 super evolution point, and the converted super evolution point is assigned. Furthermore, in the case of attacking second, if the remaining evolution points in round 6 are 0, then no evolution point conversion or super evolution point assignment occurs. For example, if the player attacks second and has 4 evolution points in round 6, 2 evolution points are converted into super evolution points. As a result of this conversion, the player has 2 evolution points and 2 super evolution points.

[0189] However, the number of evolution points that can be converted into super evolution points when the super evolution unlock round is reached is not limited to the above example. That is, it is acceptable as long as at least a portion or all of the evolution points can be converted into super evolution points.

[0190] Figure 13A is a first figure illustrating an example of the battle screen in the evolution unlock round. Figure 13B is a second figure illustrating an example of the battle screen in the evolution unlock round. When the player's evolution unlock round (in this case, the 5th round with initiative) begins, firstly, as shown in Figure 13A, the touch panel 26 displays an image indicating the player's turn, stating "Your turn" and "0 turns remaining until evolution is possible." Then, as shown in Figure 13B, an image stating "Able to evolve" is displayed in the center of the touch panel 26 to notify the player that the evolution unlock round has arrived.

[0191] Additionally, as shown in Figure 13B, the display method of the icon image displayed in the evolution / mega-evolution point display area 44a changes to indicate that evolution is possible (blacked out in the figure). Additionally, the display method of the evolution information display area 43a changes to indicate that evolution is possible (blacked out in the figure).

[0192] Furthermore, at the start of the evolution unlock round, firstly, as shown in Figure 13A, the operable time meter 48a is displayed in the same manner as the rounds before the evolution unlock round. Then, as shown in Figure 13B, a performance is executed where the black portion extends along the entire circumference. Therefore, the player is notified that the playable time set in the round has increased compared to the round before the evolution unlock round. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the animation of the black portion extending along the entire circumference is only performed at the start of the evolution unlock round, but it can also be performed in all rounds after the evolution unlock round. Additionally, the animation of the black portion extending along the entire circumference can also be performed at the start of the round of a player whose playable time is set to be longer than the playable time set in the previous player's round. Alternatively, the animation of the black portion shortening can also be performed at the start of the round of a player whose playable time is set to be shorter than the playable time set in the previous player's round.

[0193] Figure 14A is a first figure illustrating an example of the battle screen during evolution. Figure 14B is an example illustrating the evolution screen.Figure 14C is a second figure illustrating an example of a battle screen during evolution. For example, as shown in Figure 14A, a follower card that has not evolved in the 5th turn (first turn) is placed on the battlefield 47a. At this time, when the follower card placed on the battlefield 47a is clicked, as shown in Figure 14A, the card details label 63 is displayed in the touch panel 26.

[0194] The abilities of the clicked card are displayed in the card details label 63. In addition, if the follower card clicked by the player can evolve, the abilities before and after evolution are displayed in the card details label 63. In addition, the evolution button 63a is displayed in the card details label 63.

[0195] Furthermore, in this embodiment, only follower cards are set as cards that can evolve. Therefore, the evolution button 63a is displayed only in the card details label 63 of follower cards, and the evolution button 63a is not displayed in the card details label 63 of spell cards and amulet cards.

[0196] Furthermore, when evolution is possible, the evolution button 63a functions as an operation unit that accepts player clicks. When the evolution button 63a on the card details label 63 is clicked, the follower card is evolved. On the other hand, when evolution is not possible, the evolution button 63a is displayed without accepting player clicks. Alternatively, the evolution button 63a may be set to not be displayed when evolution is not possible. Specifically, the inability to evolve may be due to the following: not reaching the evolution unlock round, not having evolution points or mega-evolution points, or being a follower card that cannot evolve.

[0197] When the follower card is evolved, an evolution animation is displayed as shown in FIG14B. In the evolution animation, after displaying the card before evolution, an animated image of the card changing is displayed. In this embodiment, the evolution animation is displayed for a first time period (e.g., 2 seconds). In addition, in this embodiment, the decrement of the operable time meter 48a is stopped during the period from the start of the evolution animation display to the end of the evolution animation display, that is, during the period before the first time period has elapsed. Therefore, concerns can be suppressed that the operable time meter 48a decreases during periods when player input is not allowed, such as when the evolution animation is being displayed, thus diminishing player interest in the game. Furthermore, the player terminal 1 (instruction manual, pages 16 / 36, 19 CN 122319023 A) can also obtain the remaining operable time at the end of the evolution animation display from the server 1000, and restart the display of the operable time meter 48a based on the obtained remaining operable time.

[0198] Then, when the evolution animation display ends, as shown in FIG14C, the evolved card is displayed on the battlefield 47a. Additionally, the icon displayed in the evolution / super evolution point display area 44a shows a decrease of 1. Moreover, the attack of the evolved card...Attack power increases by 56 and health by 57. Additionally, if a follower card has the ability "When Evolved" (55), that ability is activated.

[0199] Furthermore, player terminal 1 sends evolution information (evolution) indicating the evolved follower card to server 1000. When server 1000 receives the evolution information (evolution), it is configured so that the opponent's player terminal 1 can obtain the evolution information (evolution). The opponent's player terminal 1 can then use the received evolution information (evolution) to understand the evolved card and the evolved card.

[0200] Additionally, player terminal 1 sends evolution point consumption operation information to server 1000 indicating that an operation consuming evolution points has been performed. Server 1000 updates the player's evolution / meta-evolution point information based on the received evolution point consumption operation information, reducing the player's evolution points. Server 1000 is configured so that both player terminal 1 and the opponent's player terminal 1 can obtain the updated player's evolution / meta-evolution point information. As a result, the number of evolution points that can be grasped by the player in both player terminal 1 and the opponent's player terminal 1 is reduced.

[0201] In addition, when the server 1000 receives evolution information (evolution), it stores the time obtained by adding a first time (e.g., 2 seconds) to the predetermined time of the end of the round as the new predetermined time of the end of the round. That is, the predetermined time of the end of the round is changed considering the time required for the display of the evolution animation in player terminal 1. By changing the predetermined time of the end of the round in this way, concerns about the reduction of the player's actual operable time due to the display of the evolution animation can be suppressed, thereby suppressing concerns about the player suffering disadvantages.

[0202] FIG15A is a first figure illustrating an example of the battle screen in the super evolution unlock round. FIG15B is a second figure illustrating an example of the battle screen in the super evolution unlock round. When the player's super evolution unlock round (here, the 7th round with the first attack) begins, firstly, as shown in FIG15A, the touch panel 26 displays an image indicating that it is the player's round, which reads "Your round" and "0 rounds remaining until super evolution is possible". Furthermore, at the start of a player's turn after the evolution unlock round, the number of turns remaining until the Mega Evolution unlock round is displayed. In the case shown in Figure 15A, an image stating "0 turns remaining until Mega Evolution is possible" is displayed on the touch panel 26. Then, as shown in Figure 15B, an image stating "Able to Mega Evolve" is displayed in the center of the touch panel 26 to notify the player that the Mega Evolution unlock round has been reached. Furthermore, at the start of a player's turn after the Mega Evolution unlock round, an image stating "Your Turn" is displayed, indicating the player's turn, instead of displaying the number of turns remaining until the evolution unlock round or the Mega Evolution unlock round.

[0203] Additionally, when the Mega Evolution unlock round is reached, evolution points are changed. This is shown in Figure 15B.The player has 3 evolution points. In this case, 2 evolution points are converted into Mega Evolution points. As a result of this change, the player has 1 evolution point and 2 Mega Evolution points. Moreover, corresponding to the change in evolution points, part of the display method of the icon image displayed in the evolution / mega evolution point display area 44a (the part corresponding to 2 points here) changes to indicate that evolution and mega evolution are possible (crossed shaded lines in the figure). In addition, the display method of the evolution information display area 43a changes to indicate that evolution and mega evolution are possible (crossed shaded lines in the figure).

[0204] In this embodiment, the operable time set for the rounds after the mega evolution unlocking round is the same as the operable time set for the rounds from the evolution unlocking round to the mega evolution unlocking round. Therefore, at the start of the mega evolution unlocking round, the performance of the black part of the operable time meter 48a extending along the circumference is not executed. However, the operable time set for the turn after the unbanning turn (page 17 / 36 of the Super Evolution manual, 20 CN 122319023 A) can also be longer than the operable time set for the turn from the unbanning turn of evolution to the turn before the unbanning turn of super evolution. In this case, it is also possible that at the beginning of the unbanning turn of super evolution, the black part of the operable time meter 48a extends along the entire circumference.

[0205] Figure 16A is a first figure illustrating an example of the battle screen during super evolution. Figure 16B is a figure illustrating an example of the super evolution screen. Figure 16C is a second figure illustrating an example of the battle screen during super evolution. For example, as shown in Figure 16A, suppose that a follower card that has not evolved in the 7th turn of the first turn is placed on the battlefield 47a. If the follower card placed on the battlefield 47a can super evolve, as shown in Figure 16A, an effect image for emphasizing the ability to super evolve is displayed for the follower card. Furthermore, when a follower card configured on battlefield 47a is clicked, as shown in Figure 16A, a card details label 63 is displayed on the touch panel 26.

[0206] If the follower card clicked by the player can undergo Mega Evolution, the abilities before evolution, the abilities after evolution, and the abilities after Mega Evolution are displayed in the card details label 63. Additionally, an Evolution button 63a and a Mega Evolution button 63b are displayed in the card details label 63.

[0207] Furthermore, the Mega Evolution button 63b is only displayed if the follower card clicked by the player can undergo Mega Evolution. That is, the Mega Evolution button 63b is not displayed if the follower card cannot undergo Mega Evolution. However, it is also possible that the Mega Evolution button 63b is displayed without accepting player clicks if the follower card cannot undergo Mega Evolution. Specifically, situations where Mega Evolution cannot be performed include, for example, not reaching the Mega Evolution unlock round, not having Mega Evolution points, or being a follower card that cannot undergo Mega Evolution.When the Mega Evolution button 63b of the card details tab 63 is clicked, the Mega Evolution of the follower card is performed.

[0208] When the Mega Evolution of the follower card is performed, as shown in FIG16B, a Mega Evolution animation is displayed. In the Mega Evolution animation, after the card before Mega Evolution is displayed, animated images such as the card changing are displayed. In this embodiment, the Mega Evolution animation is displayed during a second time period (e.g., 3 seconds). In this embodiment, the second time period is longer than the first time period (e.g., 2 seconds) of displaying the evolution animation. However, the first time period and the second time period may be the same length, or the first time period may be longer than the second time period.

[0209] In addition, in this embodiment, the decrease of the operable time meter 48a is stopped during the period from the start of the display of the Mega Evolution animation to the end of the display of the Mega Evolution animation, that is, during the period before the second time period. As a result, the concern that the operable time meter 48a decreases during the period when various inputs of player operations are not accepted, such as during the display of the Mega Evolution animation, can be suppressed, thereby causing a loss of interest in the game. In addition, player terminal 1 can also obtain the remaining time of operable time at the time when the display of the super evolution animation ends from server 1000, and restart the display of operable time meter 48a based on the obtained remaining time of operable time.

[0210] In addition, it is also possible that the super evolution animation and the evolution animation have at least some animation images different. For example, it is also possible that the super evolution animation has a longer display time than the evolution animation and the displayed animation images are more gorgeous.

[0211] Then, when the display of the super evolution animation ends, as shown in FIG16B, the super evolved card is displayed on the battlefield 47a. In addition, the icon corresponding to the super evolution points displayed in the evolution / super evolution point display area 44a is reduced by 1. Moreover, the attack power 56 and health 57 of the super evolved card increase. In addition, if it is a follower card with the ability 55 "when super evolution", then the ability is activated.

[0212] In addition, player terminal 1 sends evolution information (super evolution) of follower card to server 1000. When server 1000 receives evolution information (mega-evolution), it is configured so that the opponent's player terminal 1 can obtain this evolution information (mega-evolution). The opponent's player terminal 1 can then use the received evolution information (mega-evolution) to understand whether a card has been mega-evolved and what the card has become after mega-evolution.

[0213] Additionally, player terminal 1 sends mega-evolution point consumption operation information to server 1000, indicating that an operation consuming mega-evolution points has been performed. Server 1000 updates the player's evolution / mega-evolution point information based on the received mega-evolution point consumption operation information, reducing the player's available mega-evolution points. Server 1000 is configured to allow player terminal 1 to obtain this evolution information.Player terminal 1 of the opposing player can obtain the updated evolution / mega-evolution point information of the player. As a result, the player's mega-evolution points can be reduced in both player terminal 1 and player terminal 1 of the opposing player.

[0214] In addition, when the server 1000 receives mega-evolution information (evolution), it stores the time obtained by adding a second time (e.g., 3 seconds) to the predetermined time of the end of the round as the new predetermined time of the end of the round. That is, the predetermined time of the end of the round is changed considering the time required for the display of the mega-evolution animation in player terminal 1. By changing the predetermined time of the end of the round in this way, concerns about the reduction of the player's actual operable time due to the display of the mega-evolution animation can be suppressed, thereby suppressing concerns about the player suffering disadvantages.

[0215] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the case of determining the timing of the end of the round based on the predetermined time of the end of the round is shown, but it is not limited to this. For example, it is also possible to set an operable time timer at the beginning of the round to keep track of the time until the end of the round, that is, the operable time, and gradually decrease the value of the operable time timer until the value of the operable time timer becomes 0. In this case, the round can also end when the value of the operable timer becomes 0. Alternatively, when evolution information (evolution) is received, a first time (e.g., 2 seconds) can be added to the operable timer. Or, it can be set to temporarily stop the decrease of the value of the operable timer in the server 1000 during the display of the evolution animation in the player terminal 1. Similarly, when evolution information (mega-evolution) is received, a second time (e.g., 3 seconds) can be added to the operable timer. Or, it can be set to temporarily stop the decrease of the value of the operable timer in the server 1000 during the display of the mega-evolution animation in the player terminal 1.

[0216] As described above, when the health displayed in the health display area 42a of the player's main player 41a or the health displayed in the health display area 42b of the opponent's main player 41b becomes 0, the winner is determined and the card battle game ends. When the card battle game ends, server 1000 determines the level points assigned to the player ID and the opponent's player ID based on the execution content and result of the card battle game.

[0217] Figure 17 is a diagram illustrating an example of the details of the level points. As shown in Figure 17, in this embodiment, multiple items are set regarding level points. Server 1000 determines the level points corresponding to each item based on the execution content and result of the card battle game, and derives the total value of the determined level points.

[0218] Specifically, in the item "Battle Victory", it is set that 100 level points are assigned in the case of winning the card battle game.

[0219] Furthermore, the "Winning Streak" item is set to award level points based on the number of consecutive wins in the card battle game. Specifically, 30 level points are awarded for 2-5 consecutive wins. Additionally, 60 level points are awarded for 6-10 consecutive wins. And 100 level points are awarded for 11 or more consecutive wins.

[0220] Furthermore, the "Number of Game Turns" item is set to award level points corresponding to the number of turns played until the end of the card battle game. Specifically, 5 level points are awarded for 1-5 turns. Additionally, 10 level points are awarded for 6-10 turns. And 20 level points are awarded for 11 or more turns.

[0221] Furthermore, the "Number of Follower Cards Played" item is set to award level points corresponding to the number of follower cards "played" by the player until the end of the card battle game. Specifically, a level point of 5 is awarded for "playing" 1 to 5 minion cards. Furthermore, a level point of 10 is awarded for "playing" 6 to 10 minion cards. Additionally, a level point of 20 is awarded for "playing" 11 or more minion cards.

[0222] Furthermore, in the item "Number of Spell Cards Played," a level point is awarded corresponding to the number of spell cards "played" by the player until the end of the card battle game. Specifically, a level point of 5 is awarded for "playing" 1 to 5 spell cards. Furthermore, a level point of 10 is awarded for "playing" 6 to 8 spell cards. Additionally, a level point of 20 is awarded for "playing" 9 or more spell cards.

[0223] Furthermore, in the item "Number of Amulet Cards Played," a level point system is set: Level points are awarded based on the number of Amulet Cards "played" by the player until the end of the card battle game. Specifically, 5 level points are awarded for playing 1 to 3 Amulet Cards. Additionally, 10 level points are awarded for playing 4 to 5 Amulet Cards. Furthermore, 20 level points are awarded for playing 6 or more Amulet Cards.

[0224] Furthermore, in the item "Number of Evolutions / Mega Evolutions," a level point system is set: Level points are awarded based on the number of times the player has performed an evolution or mega evolution until the end of the card battle game. Specifically, a level point system is set based on the number of times an player has performed an evolution or mega evolution.In the case of Mega Evolution, 5 level points are awarded. Additionally, 10 level points are awarded if two evolutions or Mega Evolutions have been performed. Furthermore, 20 level points are awarded if three or more evolutions or Mega Evolutions have been performed.

[0225] Furthermore, in the item "Remaining HP of Your Leader," level points are awarded based on the value of the player's leader's remaining HP at the end of the card battle game. Specifically, 5 level points are awarded if the player's leader's remaining HP is 1 to 10. Additionally, 10 level points are awarded if the player's leader's remaining HP is 11 to 15. Furthermore, 20 level points are awarded if the player's leader's remaining HP is 16 or higher.

[0226] Furthermore, in the item "Damage Dealt to Opponent's Leader," level points are awarded based on the value of the damage dealt to the opponent's leader until the end of the card battle game. Specifically, a level point of 5 is assigned when the damage dealt to the opponent's leader is 1 to 5. Additionally, a level point of 10 is assigned when the damage dealt to the opponent's leader is 6 to 10. Furthermore, a level point of 20 is assigned when the damage dealt to the opponent's leader is 11 or more.

[0227] Furthermore, in the "Play Time" item, a three-tiered rating (A, B, and C) is set based on the usage time at the end of each turn in the card battle game, and level points are assigned based on the rating results. Specifically, a level point of 20 is assigned when the rating is A. Additionally, a level point of 10 is assigned when the rating is B. Additionally, a level point of 5 is assigned when the rating is C. An example of the rating method is given below.

[0228] Figure 18 is a diagram illustrating an example of operable time and usage time. The server 1000 exports the total usage time obtained by summing all the usage times of each exported turn. Furthermore, if an evolution is performed during a round, the server 1000 calculates the time obtained by subtracting the first time from the elapsed time from the start of the round at the end of the round as the usage time. Additionally, if a super evolution is performed during a round, the server 1000 calculates the time obtained by subtracting the second time from the elapsed time from the start of the round at the end of the round as the usage time. Furthermore, the server 1000 calculates the total operable time by summing the operable time of all rounds already performed in the card battle game.

[0229] In this embodiment, the server 1000 calculates the ratio of the total usage time to the total operable time (hereinafter, see page 20 / 36 of the specification, CN 122319023 A).Also known as the usage time ratio). Then, an evaluation is performed based on this usage time ratio. Specifically, if the usage time ratio is less than 50%, it is rated A. If the usage time ratio is more than 51% and less than 60%, it is rated B. If the usage time ratio is more than 61%, it is rated C. That is, the lower the usage time ratio, the higher the evaluation.

[0230] In Figure 18, four common modes of total usage time are shown. In mode 1, it shows the case where 50% of the operable time is used in all rounds. In mode 2, it shows the case where rounds end relatively quickly in rounds before the evolution unlocking round and relatively slowly in rounds after the evolution unlocking round. In mode 3, it shows the case where rounds end relatively slowly in rounds before the evolution unlocking round and relatively quickly in rounds after the evolution unlocking round. In mode 4, it shows the case where rounds end at a time with deviation in each round.

[0231] In this embodiment, in the cases of Modes 1 to 4 described above, although the usage time in each round is sometimes different, the usage time ratio is a common value. Therefore, as a result, the same evaluation (e.g., evaluation A) is obtained in all cases. That is, regardless of the time allocation in each round, as long as the total usage time is the same, the same evaluation result will be derived. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the case of deriving the usage time in each round separately is shown, but the usage time may not be derived.

[0232] For example, a level point number corresponding to the ratio of the remaining time of the operable time at the end of each round to the total operable time may be assigned.

[0233] Alternatively, the ratio of usage time to operable time in each round may be derived separately. In this case, the ratio of usage time to operable time in each round may be averaged, and a level point number corresponding to the value obtained by averaging may be assigned. In this case, the ratio is derived to 50% in Modes 1 and 4. In Mode 2, the ratio is derived to 44%. In Mode 3, the ratio is derived to 57%. That is, in this case, when the time used is the same in cases of long operable time and short operable time, the ratio of the latter's usage time to operable time is derived to be lower. In other words, it can be said that 1 second in the round before the evolution unlocking round has a higher value for evaluation contribution than 1 second in the round after the evolution unlocking round. Thus, evaluation can be based on the length of operable time in each round.

[0234] Alternatively, the ratio of the remaining operable time at the end of each round to the total operable time can also be derived separately. In this case, the remaining operable time at the end of each round can also be used to calculate the remaining operable time.The value of each round is averaged relative to the operable time in each round, and a level point is assigned to the value obtained by averaging. That is, the level point can also be determined based on the ratio of the remaining time in each round to the total operable time.

[0235] Alternatively, the evaluation score can be derived separately based on the value of the usage time in each round. In this case, a level point can be assigned to the total evaluation score obtained by summing all the evaluation scores in each round. In this case, it is preferable to pre-set the benchmark for determining the evaluation score for each round. For example, in rounds before the evolution unlocking round, a benchmark such as 3 points for usage time of 23 seconds or less, 2 points for usage time of 24 to 30 seconds, and 1 point for usage time of 31 seconds or more can be set. In addition, in rounds after the evolution unlocking round, a benchmark such as 3 points for usage time of 35 seconds or less, 2 points for usage time of 36 to 45 seconds, and 1 point for usage time of 46 seconds or more can be set. Furthermore, the criteria for determining the evaluation score can be different for each round of multiple rounds with the same operable time.

[0236] Alternatively, the average value of the usage time in each round can be derived. In this case, level points can be assigned corresponding to the average value of the usage time in each round. Additionally, regarding the usage time in each round, as per the manual (pages 21 / 36, CN 122319023 A), level points can be assigned based on the number of rounds shorter than a preset baseline time. Alternatively, the player's usage time in each round can be compared with the opponent's usage time, and level points can be assigned to the side with more rounds of shorter usage time.

[0237] Alternatively, the average value of the remaining operable time at the end of each round can be derived. In this case, level points can be assigned corresponding to the average value of the remaining operable time at the end of each round.

[0238] Furthermore, this embodiment illustrates a situation where the player cannot perform actions such as playing cards during the opponent's turn. However, it is also possible to perform actions such as playing cards during the opponent's turn if certain conditions are met. In this case, the player's actionable time during the opponent's turn is set. Additionally, in this case, if the player performs actions such as playing cards at the end of the opponent's turn, the player's usage time during the opponent's turn is stored. Furthermore, it is also possible that if the player is able to perform actions such as playing cards during the opponent's turn even though certain conditions are met, but the player does not perform any action, the player's usage time during the opponent's turn is not stored. Moreover, it is also possible...The evaluation is performed based on the player's available time and usage time during the opponent's turn, and the player's available time and usage time during the player's turn.

[0239] In short, the server 1000 only needs to determine the level points for the player and the opponent based on usage time, respectively.

[0240] The server 1000 determines the level points corresponding to each item for the player and the opponent as described above. In addition, when the server 1000 derives the total value of the determined level points, it assigns the total value of the determined level points to the player ID and the opponent's player ID, respectively.

[0241] However, it is also possible to derive the value obtained by adding the top 3 level points (item "Battle Victory") that are higher than the level points corresponding to each item in each item set in FIG17, excluding "Battle Victory", to the base point (item "Battle Victory").

[0242] Then, the server 1000 is configured so that the player terminal 1 and the opponent's player terminal 1 can obtain the corresponding level point information.

[0243] Figure 19A is an example of the ending screen when winning. Figure 19B is an example of the ending screen when losing. The player terminal 1 and the opponent's player terminal 1 display the ending screen based on the received level point information. The ending screen displays the total level points assigned and the details of the level points assigned. However, the details of the level points may not be displayed, or only a portion may be displayed. Alternatively, the details of the level points may be displayed in a scrolling manner. Furthermore, items for which no level points were assigned may not be displayed on the ending screen.

[0244] In addition, in this embodiment, when winning in the card battle game, as shown in Figure 19A, an image indicating victory is displayed as the result of the win or loss. On the other hand, when losing in the card battle game, as shown in Figure 19B, the result of the win or loss is not directly displayed. This can suppress concerns about the player's willingness to play the game decreasing.

[0245] When the ending screen is clicked, the display of the ending screen ends, and the display switches from the battle screen to the normal screen. In other words, the ending screen is part of the battle screen. Furthermore, the normal screen to which the player switches from the ending screen can be a screen that was displayed before switching to the battle screen, or a pre-defined screen such as the home screen.

[0246] As described above, in this embodiment, in the item "play time," regardless of victory or defeat, the less time a player spends in each round, the more level points they are awarded. Therefore, players will focus on quick actions to obtain more level points. This can suppress concerns about delayed game progress and reduced interest in the game. Specification 22 / 36 pages 25 CN 122319023 A

[0247] The following describes the processing of the player terminal 1 and server 1000 used to implement the card battle game described above, as well as the functional units that perform these processing.

[0248] (Functional Units of Player Terminal 1)

[0249] FIG20 is a functional block diagram of player terminal 1. A program storage area 12a and a data storage area 12b are provided in the storage unit 12 of player terminal 1. At the start of the game, CPU 10 stores the terminal-side game control program (module) in the program storage area 12a.

[0250] The terminal-side game control program includes a game execution control program 300, a card battle game execution control program 301, and a display control program 302. In addition, the program listed in FIG20 is one example, and many other programs are provided in the terminal-side game control program.

[0251] CPU 10 causes each program stored in program storage area 12a to perform operations to update the data in each storage unit of data storage area 12b. Furthermore, the CPU 10 enables the player terminal 1 (computer) to function as the terminal control unit 1A by executing the programs stored in the program storage area 12a. The terminal control unit 1A includes a game execution control unit 300a, a card battle game execution control unit 301a, and a display control unit 302a.

[0252] Specifically, the CPU 10 enables the game execution control program 300 to function as the game execution control unit 300a. Similarly, the CPU 10 enables the card battle game execution control program 301 and the display control program 302 to function as the card battle game execution control unit 301a and the display control unit 302a, respectively.

[0253] A game information storage unit 400 and a player information storage unit 401 are provided in the data storage area 12b as storage units for storing data. In addition to the above-mentioned storage units, many other storage units are provided in the data storage area 12b.

[0254] The game execution control unit 300a controls the overall progress of the game. For example, the game execution control unit 300a logs into the game based on the player's operation, or determines whether the overall game information has been updated.

[0255] The card battle game execution control unit 301a is responsible for controlling the execution of the card battle game. For example, the card battle game execution control unit 301a controls the progress of the card battle game based on the operation input on the player's terminal 1.

[0256] The display control unit 302a controls the display of the image displayed on the touch panel 26 based on the player's operation and the progress of the game.

[0257] (Functional units of server 1000)

[0258] FIG21 is a functional block diagram of server 1000. A program storage area is provided in the storage unit 1012 of server 1000.Domain 1012a and data storage area 1012b. The program storage area 1012a stores a game execution control program 1300, a card battle game execution control program 1301, a time management program 1303, and a level point management program 1304 as server-side game control programs. Furthermore, the program listed in Figure 21 is one example; many other programs are also included in the server-side game control programs.

[0259] The CPU 1010 causes each program stored in the program storage area 1012a to operate, thereby updating the data in each storage unit of the data storage area 1012b. Moreover, the CPU 1010 causes each program stored in the program storage area 1012a to operate, thereby enabling the server 1000 (computer) to function as a server control unit 1000A. The server control unit 1000A includes a game execution control unit 1300a, a card battle game execution control unit 1301a, a time management unit 1303a, and a level point management unit 1304a.

[0260] Specifically, the CPU 1010 causes the game execution control program 1300 to perform actions so that the computer functions as the game execution control unit 1300a. Similarly, the CPU 1010 causes the card battle game execution control program 1301, the time management program 1303, and the level point management program 1304 to perform actions so that they function as the card battle game execution control unit 1301a, the time management unit 1303a, and the level point management unit 1304a.

[0261] A game information storage unit 1400 and a player information storage unit 1401 are provided in the data storage area 1012b as storage units for storing data. In addition, the above-mentioned storage units are just one example. In addition to the data storage area 1012b, there are many other storage units.

[0262] The game execution control unit 1300a controls the overall progress of the game. For example, when the game execution control unit 1300a receives login information from the player terminal 1, it is set to enable the player terminal 1 to obtain the player information (card deck information, level points, etc.) stored in the player information storage unit 1401. In addition, when the overall game information (including card information, attack information, attack result information, game point information, card playing information, ability activation information, turn start information, turn end information, evolution / super evolution point information, evolution information (evolution), evolution information (super evolution), win / loss information, remaining time information, level points information, etc.) is updated, the game execution control unit 1300a reads the updated game information from the game information storage unit 1400 and is set to enable the player terminal 1 to obtain the updated game information.

[0263] The card battle game execution control unit 1301a is responsible for controlling the execution of the card battle game.

[0264] The time management unit 1303a manages the operable time and end time usage time in each round of the card battle game. For example, when a player's turn begins, the time management unit 1303a stores the turn start time and the scheduled turn end time associated with the player ID. Similarly, when the opponent's turn begins, the time management unit 1303a stores the turn start time and the scheduled turn end time associated with the opponent's player ID. The scheduled turn end time is the time obtained by adding the operable time set for the started turn to the turn start time.

[0265] Furthermore, the time management unit 1303a, based on the elapsed time from the turn start time at the end time of a player's turn, derives the usage time in the ended player's turn and stores it associated with the player ID. Additionally, when the opponent's turn ends, the server 1000, based on the elapsed time from the turn start time at the end time of the opponent's turn, derives the usage time in the ended opponent's turn and stores it associated with the opponent's player ID. However, instead of exporting the usage time at the end of each round, the usage time can be exported for each round after the game ends.

[0266] Furthermore, if an evolution is performed during a round, the time management unit 1303a exports the usage time obtained by subtracting the first time from the elapsed time from the start of the round at the end of the round. Additionally, if a super evolution is performed during a round, the time management unit 1303a exports the usage time obtained by subtracting the second time from the elapsed time from the start of the round at the end of the round.

[0267] Furthermore, the time management unit 1303a exports and stores the total operable time obtained by summing all operable times of the player's rounds already performed in the card battle game, associated with the player ID. Additionally, the time management unit 1303a exports and stores the total operable time obtained by summing all operable times of the opponent's rounds already performed in the card battle game, associated with the opponent's player ID.

[0268] The level point management unit 1304a determines the level points assigned to the player ID and the level points assigned to the opponent's player ID based on the execution content and execution result of the card battle game.

[0269] (Communication processing between player terminal 1 and server 1000)

[0270] The basic processing between player terminal 1 and server 1000 will be described below. In addition, in the following description, the processing executed in player terminal 1 will be represented as Pn (n is any integer). In addition, the processing executed in server 1000 will be represented as Sn (n is any integer).

[0271] FIG22 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the terminal-side card battle game execution processing in player terminal 1. When the pointWhen the single-player game selection operation unit 30b or the multiplayer game selection operation unit 30c of the menu bar 30 is clicked, various setting screens are displayed (pages 24 / 36, CN 122319023 A). When settings are made in the setting screen, the terminal-side card battle game execution processing begins.

[0272] When the card battle game execution processing begins, the card battle game execution control unit 301a sends the deck information to be used in the card battle game (P1-1) to the server 1000.

[0273] The card battle game execution control unit 301a obtains initial information (first attack / second attack information, index information, exchange information) from the server 1000 (P1-2).

[0274] In addition, the card battle game execution control unit 301a receives and stores the evolution / mega-evolution point information contained in the initial information from the server 1000 (P1-3). At this time, if the player goes first, 3 evolution points are stored. Additionally, when the player attacks second, 4 evolution points are stored.

[0275] The card battle game execution control unit 301a receives and stores the evolution / mega-evolution round information (P1-4) contained in the initial information from the server 1000. At this time, when the player attacks first, the 5th round is stored as the evolution unlock round. Additionally, when the player attacks first, the 7th round is stored as the mega-evolution unlock round. Additionally, when the player attacks second, the 4th round is stored as the evolution unlock round. Additionally, when the player attacks second, the 6th round is stored as the evolution unlock round. Furthermore, the evolution / mega-evolution round information may not be stored in the player terminal 1.

[0276] The display control unit 302a displays whether the player attacks first or second (P1-5) on the touch panel 26 as shown in FIG9A, based on the attack first / attack information contained in the initial information received from the server 1000. Afterwards, the card battle game execution control unit 301a performs initial card decision processing, in which the initial cards (P1-6) are determined based on the exchange information contained in the initial information. Here, the display control unit 302a, based on the initial information (first attack then attack information), arranges the three initial candidate cards in the initial card display area 60 as shown in FIG9B, and displays the exchange display area 61 for configuring the cards to be exchanged in the touch panel 26.

[0277] Moreover, as shown in FIG9C, when the player clicks the decision button 62, the card battle game execution control unit 301a returns the cards that have been moved to the exchange display area 61 to the deck area 45a, and determines the initial candidate cards that have not been exchanged and the number of exchange candidate cards that are equivalent to the number of initial candidate cards that have been exchanged as the initial cards. Then, the card battle game execution control unit 301a sends the initial card information representing the initial cards to the server 1000, and also receives the initial card information.The number of cards in the hand (P1-7).

[0278] As shown in FIG10A, the display control unit 302a displays the battle screen on the touch panel 26 and arranges the determined initial cards in the hand area 46a in a recognizable manner. In addition, based on the received opponent's number of cards information, the display control unit 302a arranges 3 cards in the hand area 46b in a non-recognizable manner (P1-8).

[0279] Then, the card battle game execution control unit 301a determines whether it is the player's turn (P1-9) based on the first attack / second attack information or the turn start information obtained from the server 1000. Then, if it is the player's turn ("Yes" in P1-9), the card battle game execution control unit 301a performs the player's turn control processing (P2). On the other hand, if it is not the player's turn, that is, the opponent's turn ("No" in P1-9), the card battle game execution control unit 301a performs the opponent's turn control processing (P3).

[0280] Then, if the card battle game execution control unit 301a does not receive win / loss information from the server 1000, that is, if no win / loss has been decided ("No" in P1-10), the process returns to P1-9. Alternatively, if the card battle game execution control unit 301a receives win / loss information from the server 1000, that is, if a win / loss has been decided ("Yes" in P1-10), the card battle game execution control unit 301a executes the card battle game ending process (P1-11) to end the card battle game.

[0281] Furthermore, the display control unit 302a obtains level point information from the server 1000, displays the ending screen (Fig. 19A or Fig. 19B) on the touch panel 26 based on the obtained level point information (P1-12), and ends the card battle game execution process. Instruction manual, pages 25 / 36, CN 122319023 A

[0282] Figure 23 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the player's turn control processing (P2) in the player terminal 1. When the player's turn begins, as shown in Figure 10B, the display control unit 302a displays an image on the touch panel 26 indicating that it is the player's turn, labeled "Your Turn" (P2-1). In addition, the display control unit 302a displays the number of turns remaining until the turn when the player can perform an evolution unlock (Figure 10B) or the number of turns remaining until the turn when the player can perform a mega evolution unlock (Figure 15A) (P2-2).

[0283] In addition, the display control unit 302a obtains and stores the remaining time information from the server 1000 (P2-3). In addition, based on the obtained remaining time information, the display control unit 302a displays an operable time meter 48a on the touch panel 26 (P2-4). Furthermore, at the start of the evolution unlocking round, a performance is executed in which the black portion extends along the entire circumference (Fig. 13A, Fig. 13B).

[0284] The card battle game execution control unit 301a receives card information (P2-5) determined by drawing cards from the deck area 45a in the server 1000. Additionally, the display control unit 302a, based on the received card information, configures (displays) the determined card in a recognizable manner in the hand area 46a (P2-5).

[0285] Furthermore, if the game point information is updated in the server 1000, the card battle game execution control unit 301a receives the updated game point information (P2-6). Additionally, the display control unit 302a updates the game point display unit 49a (P2-6) based on the received game point information. As a result, the game points are incremented by 1 at the start of the turn.

[0286] Furthermore, if the evolution / mega-evolution point information is updated in the server 1000, the card battle game execution control unit 301a receives the updated evolution / mega-evolution point information (P2-7). Additionally, the display control unit 302a updates the display area 44a for the evolution / meta-evolution points based on the received evolution / meta-evolution point information (P2-7).

[0287] Furthermore, if new ability activation information indicating the activation of various card abilities is set in the server 1000, the card battle game execution control unit 301a receives this ability activation information (P2-8). The card battle game execution control unit 301a executes ability activation processing for activating various abilities based on the received ability activation information (P2-9).

[0288] The card battle game execution control unit 301a determines whether the player has input an operation to play a card (P2-10). If the result is that no card playing operation is detected ("No" in P2-10), the card battle game execution control unit 301a transfers the processing to step P2-13. Additionally, upon detecting a card-playing operation ("Yes" in P2-10), the card battle game execution control unit 301a sends card-playing information to the server 1000 indicating that a card configured in hand area 46a has been played onto battlefield 47a (P2-11). Furthermore, the display control unit 302a performs card-playing display processing based on the card-playing operation to display the card configured in hand area 46a onto battlefield 47a (P2-12). Additionally, here, if it is a turn after the number of turns after the Mega Evolution unlock, and the player has Mega Evolution points, and the follower card configured on battlefield 47a can perform Mega Evolution, the display control unit 302a displays a special effect image (Fig. 16A).

[0289] The card battle game execution control unit 301a determines whether the player has input an operation to cause the card configured on battlefield 47a to attack the opponent's follower card or leader 41b (P2-13). If no attack operation is detected,If the condition is "No" in P2-13, the processing is transferred to step P2-16. Alternatively, if an attack operation is detected ("Yes" in P2-13), the card battle game execution control unit 301a sends attack information (P2-14) to the server 1000 based on the detected attack operation. This information includes information for identifying the card that launched the attack and information for identifying the attacked opponent's follower card or leader 41b.

[0290] The card battle game execution control unit 301a receives attack result information set in the server (P2-15). This attack result information includes information indicating the result of reducing the health of the attacked opponent's follower card or leader 41b, information indicating the result of reducing the health of the attacking follower card, etc. Furthermore, the display control unit 302a executes various animations based on the received attack result information. Instruction manual, pages 26 / 36, CN 122319023 A

[0291] The card battle game execution control unit 301a determines whether the prescribed conditions for evolution and the prescribed conditions for mega-evolution are met for all follower cards displayed on the battlefield 47a (P2-16). In this embodiment, if it is after the evolution unlocking turn, and the player has evolution points or mega-evolution points, and the card being judged is a follower card that can be evolved, the evolution condition is determined to be met. In addition, if it is after the mega-evolution unlocking turn, and the player has mega-evolution points, and the card being judged is a follower card that can mega-evolve, the evolution condition is determined to be met. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the determination of whether the evolution condition and mega-evolution condition are met for all follower cards displayed on the battlefield 47a as described in P2-16 is shown, but this determination can also be performed on the server 1000 side.

[0292] The card battle game execution control unit 301a determines whether a card displayed on the battlefield 47a has been clicked (P2-17). If a card has been clicked ("Yes" in P2-17), the display control unit 302a displays the card details label 63 based on the determination result in step P2-16 (P2-18). Specifically, if the conditions for evolution are met for the clicked card, the display control unit 302a activates the evolution button 63a in the card details label 63 (sets it to an operable state). In addition, if the conditions for super evolution are met for the clicked card, the display control unit 302a activates the super evolution button 63b in the card details label 63 (sets it to an operable state).

[0293] Furthermore, the card battle game execution control unit 301a executes the evolution / super evolution execution process (P4). Details of this evolution / super evolution execution process (P4) will be described later.

[0294] The display control unit 302a performs an update process (P2-19) in which the black portion of the operable time meter 48a gradually decreases as time passes. However, the display control unit 302a may also obtain the remaining operable time from the server 1000 and update the display of the operable time meter 48a based on the obtained remaining operable time.

[0295] When the card battle game execution control unit 301a receives victory or defeat information from the server 1000, that is, when a victory or defeat has been decided ("Yes" in P2-20), it ends the control process for its own turn. In addition, when the card battle game execution control unit 301a does not receive victory or defeat information from the server 1000, that is, when a victory or defeat has not been decided ("No" in P2-20), it transfers the process to P2-21.

[0296] The card battle game execution control unit 301a determines whether the player's turn has ended based on the player's operation of the turn-end button 48 (P2-21). Then, if the player's turn has not ended ("No" in P2-21), the card battle game execution control unit 301a transfers the processing to P2-6.

[0297] Alternatively, if the player's turn has ended ("Yes" in P2-21), the display control unit 302a sets the operable time meter 48a to non-display based on the end of the player's turn (P2-22).

[0298] Furthermore, the card battle game execution control unit 301a performs turn-end processing (P2-23). ​​In addition, if there is a card with an ability 55 that activates at the end of the player's turn, during the turn-end processing, information is received from the server 1000 and processing to activate the ability 55 is performed. In addition, the card battle game execution control unit 301a sends a turn end message to the server 1000 indicating that the player's turn has ended.

[0299] FIG23 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the evolution / mega-evolution execution process in the player terminal 1. The card battle game execution control unit 301a determines whether the evolution button 63a of the card details label 63 has been clicked (P4-1). If the evolution button 63a has been clicked ("Yes" in P4-1), the card battle game execution control unit 301a transfers the process to step P4-6.

[0300] If the evolution button 63a has not been clicked ("No" in P4-1), the card battle game execution control unit 301a determines whether the mega-evolution button 63b of the card details label 63 has been clicked (P4-2).

[0301] When the super evolution button 63b is clicked ("Yes" on P4-2), the card battle game execution control unit instruction manual 27 / 36 pages 30 CN 122319023 A 301a sends the evolution information (super evolution) of the card to be super evolved to the server 1000 (P4-3).

[0302] Additionally, the display control unit 302a stops the decrease display of the operable time meter 48a during the second time period (P4-4), and displays the super evolution animation on the touch panel 26 during the second time period (P4-5), causing the process to transfer to step P5-10.

[0303] When the evolution button 63a is clicked ("Yes" in P4-1), the card battle game execution control unit 301a sends evolution information (evolution) indicating the card to be evolved to the server 1000 (P4-6).

[0304] Additionally, the display control unit 302a stops the decrease display of the operable time meter 48a during the first time period (P4-7), and displays the evolution animation on the touch panel 26 during the first time period (P4-8), causing the process to transfer to step P4-9.

Furthermore, it is not limited to...It is defined as a battle game. For example, it can also be a turn-based game in which multiple players inherit the results of the previous player in turn.

[0368] In addition, in the above embodiment, the above-described information processing is performed by the information processing system S, which is a client server system. However, the player terminal 1 may also have the functions of the server 1000 in the above embodiment. In addition, the server 1000 may also have the functions of the player terminal 1 in the above embodiment. In addition, communication function is not necessary. For example, it may be possible to perform computer battles or battles between multiple players in the game device G. In short, the information processing program preferably causes the computer to perform the following processing.

[0369] (Processes performed by the computer)

[0370] The following processing: making the game (in the above embodiment, for example, a card battle game) progress (in the above embodiment, for example, steps P1, P2, P3, P4, S1, S2, S3). Instruction manual, pages 34 / 36, 37 CN 122319023 A

[0371] The following process: Based on the end of the round, determine the player's usage time in that round (in the above embodiment, as an example, steps S1-18 and S1-25).

[0372] The following process: Based on the result of the game, determine the first point (in the above embodiment, as an example, the level point corresponding to the item "Battle Victory") (in the above embodiment, as an example, step S1-29).

[0373] The following process: Based at least on the usage time, determine the second point (in the above embodiment, as an example, the level point corresponding to the item "Playing Time") (in the above embodiment, as an example, step S1-29).

[0374] The following process: Based on the first point and the second point, grant privileges to the player ID (in the above embodiment, as an example, the total value of the level points corresponding to each item in Figure 17) (in the above embodiment, as an example, steps S1-29 and S1-30).

[0375] The computer may also perform the following processing: determining the total usage time spent until the end of the game based on the usage time (in the above embodiment, step S1-27 is an example).

[0376] The computer may also perform the following processing: determining the player's operable time in each round (in the above embodiment, steps S1-6, S1-7, S1-21, S1-22 are an example).

[0377] The computer may also perform the following processing: determining the total operable time in each round executed until the end of the game, i.e., the total operable time (in the above embodiment, step S1-28 is an example).

[0378] Alternatively, in the processing of determining the second point (in the above embodiment, step S1-29 is an example),The second point is determined based on the ratio of total usage time to total operable time.

[0379] Alternatively, in the process of determining the second point (as an example in the above embodiment, step S1-29), the second point is determined based on the ratio of usage time to operable time in each round executed up to the end of the game.

[0380] It may also include multiple rounds with different operable times (as an example in the above embodiment, the operable time is different in rounds before the evolution unlock round and in rounds after the evolution unlock round).

[0381] It may also include the player's round and the opponent's round among the multiple rounds.

[0382] Alternatively, in the process of determining usage time (as an example in the above embodiment, S1-18, S1-25), if the player's round has ended, the player's usage time in that round is determined; if the opponent's round has ended, and if the player performed an action in the opponent's round, the player's usage time in the opponent's round is determined.

[0383] Furthermore, the control processing described in the above embodiment is merely one example. In the above embodiment, the case where control processing for executing the game is performed on the player terminal 1 is described. That is, in the above embodiment, control processing for executing the game is performed only on the player terminal 1. In this case, only the player terminal 1 functions as the game device G. However, a portion of the above control processing may also be performed by the server 1000. That is, the information processing system S, which is a client-server system equipped with the player terminal 1 and the server 1000, may also function as the game device G.

[0384] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the information processing program for implementing the game may also be stored on a computer-readable non-transitory storage medium. Moreover, the above embodiment may also serve as an information processing method for implementing each function and the steps shown in the flowchart.
