"Discarding the media" refers to dissolving the association between the user ID and the game media. In addition, "selling a game medium owned by a user" means selling a game medium owned by a user ID and The association is dissolved and the user ID is changed to another game medium (e.g., virtual currency or items) In addition, "User A transfers the game media he owns to User B" "to dissolve the association between User A's user ID and the game media and User B's This indicates that the game media is to be associated with the user ID.

[0015] The game according to this embodiment generally comprises a first game part, a second game part, and Includes.

[0016] In the first game part, the user places a virtual object in the first virtual space. Here, the object may be one or more game objects such as a gun turret, a barracks, a wall, and a character. The object in the first virtual space is a game medium (a first game medium). The placement of the first game content in the second virtual space is determined according to the placement of the object. In this way, the first game part is performed in accordance with the arrangement of the objects in the first virtual space. A game program that generates information necessary to set up a second virtual space in which a game medium is placed. It is.

[0017] In the second game part, the user's terminal device 12 executes the first game part. The server device transmits information necessary for setting the second virtual space generated by the terminal device 12 of the other user to the server device. The user then receives the information from the server device 11. The user operates a user character (second game medium) placed in the second virtual space set by the The user then plays a match against the first game medium placed in the second virtual space. The objective is to conquer the second virtual space (achieve the game task). For example, the second game medium is The player moves to a specific location in the virtual space, or moves to a specific first game medium (Commander Key) in the second virtual space. When certain conditions are met, such as winning a match against a certain character, the player will be able to complete the game task. Then, the result of the second game part (for example, whether or not the game task was accomplished) is determined. In response, the user is given a predetermined reward (for example, a game medium).

[0018] In the game according to this embodiment, for example, an object (and The position of the first game medium in the second virtual space changes according to the position of the first game medium. The difficulty of the second virtual space changes.

The game parameters included in the information about the first game medium may include, for example, the second game medium of the user. In the second game part, etc., executed by the terminal device 12 of the other user who aims to conquer the virtual space In this embodiment, the game parameters included in the information about the first game medium are used. The meters include type, attribute, level, and HP.

[0036] The type indicates the type of the first game medium. For example, In the second game part, the first game medium has different roles, functions, and effects depending on the type. In this embodiment, the types of the first game content include a gun turret, a barracks, an adjutant character, etc. These include, but are not limited to, characters, commander characters, and walls.

[0037] The turret automatically attacks the second game media of other users placed in the second virtual space. The HP of the second game medium will decrease by the amount of damage dealt by the bombardment. For example, when the HP of the second game medium of another user becomes zero, the terminal In the device 12, it is determined that the game task has been unsuccessfully completed.

[0038] The barracks may be, for example, during the execution of the second game part by the terminal device 12 of another user. A soldier character (third game medium) is generated according to the passage of time. The body is associated with second position information. The third game medium includes the associated second position information. The second virtual space is placed at a position indicated by the For example, the amount of damage dealt by the attack of the third game medium is equal to the amount of damage dealt by the second game medium. The game's HP decreases.

[0039] The adjutant character can be used in the second game medium of another user in the same manner as the third game medium described above. As will be described later, the adjutant character will object) in the first virtual space, other objects having a predetermined relative positional relationship with the object For example, information about the first game medium associated with the adjutant object may change. Among the first game contents associated with other objects arranged adjacent to the object, e.g. For example, the game parameters of the first game medium to which the same attribute as the attribute of the adjutant character is associated The character changes (for example, HP increases).

[0040] The commander character, like the above-mentioned third game medium and adjutant character, can be used by other users. As will be described later, the commander character will play against the other user's second game medium. When the user loses the match against the second game medium, the terminal device 12 of the other user It may be determined that the task has been successfully accomplished.

[0078] In addition, the terminal control unit 26 performs a first game part process and a second game part process. , will be explained in detail.

[0079] (First game part processing) First, the first game part process will be described. In response to a user operation to start the first game part, a request to start the first game part is sent to the server device 1. Send to 1.

[0080] Next, the terminal control unit 26 receives the request to start the first game part from the server device 11. Then, an instruction to start the first game part is received.

[0081] Next, the terminal control unit 26 displays the first game part screen on the display unit 25 to start the first game. Start part-time work.

[0082] Hereinafter, the first game part will be described with reference to the first game part screens shown in FIG. 7 to FIG. 10. The operation of the terminal control unit 26 for executing the game will be described. FIG. 7 shows, for example, the start of the first game part. 1 shows a first game part screen that is displayed immediately after the start of the game. The first game part screen shows a first virtual space. The display area 27 includes an object list 28 .

[0083] The first virtual space display area 27 is an area in which the first virtual space 29 is displayed. 1 shows a state in which the first virtual space 29 is viewed in the negative direction of the z-axis along the z-axis of the first virtual space 29. The display mode of the first virtual space 29 is not limited to this. For example, the terminal control unit 26 may In response to a predetermined user operation (for example, a swipe operation, a pinch operation, etc.) on the display area 27, In response, the display mode of first virtual space 29 (for example, the viewpoint, scale, etc.) may be changed.

[0084] In this embodiment, the first virtual space 29 is aligned along the z-axis of the first virtual space 29 in the negative direction of the z-axis. When the first virtual space 29 is viewed in the direction, for example, a plurality of square regions ( The object shape is divided into the square area as a unit. The shape is a combination of one or more squares. When an object arranged in the first virtual space 29 is moved in response to an operation, the object The object moves along the x-axis or y-axis with the square area as a unit. The user can then place objects in the first virtual space 29 as if putting together pieces of a puzzle. Place the objects.

[0085] In the first virtual space 29, a start position S and a goal position G are determined in advance. Here, the terminal control unit 26 determines whether the goal position G is included within the object 30 (30a). In this way, the placement of the object 30a is determined in advance.

[0086] In this embodiment, the object 30a, the position of which is determined in advance, is the first game medium. At least the commander character 31 is the associated object 30. The object 30a includes a plurality of first game media, specifically, a commander character 31. In the figure, the barracks 32 and the walls correspond to each other. It has been omitted.

[0087] In FIG. 7, the commander character 31 and the barracks 32 are, for example, The first game medium is displayed in a first display mode using an image showing an appearance unique to the first game medium. In addition, a marker 33 indicating the connection position set on the object 30a is displayed.

[0088] The object list 28 contains object buttons corresponding to multiple objects. Tan 34 (34a, 34b) is the area to be displayed.

[0089] The object button 34 is a user button for placing a corresponding object 30 in the first virtual space. As will be described later, the terminal control unit 26 is an interface that accepts user operations. When a user operation on an object button 34 is detected, the object button 34 A corresponding object 30 is placed in the first virtual space 29 .

[0090] The object button 34 has an image showing the corresponding object 30 and a The object name and information about the first game medium associated with the object 30, for example, The number of each type of game media and the cost of the object are displayed.

[0091] The object name is, for example, a name related to the first game medium associated with the object 30. In this embodiment, the terminal control unit 26 automatically determines the The object name is the first game medium that is most frequently used among the first game media associated with the object 30. The name is determined according to the type of game medium, but for example, the highest level is 1 Any method for determining object names, such as names indicating the type of game media, may be adopted. .

[0092] The display mode of the object list 28 is not limited to the above. For example, The object list 28 includes the objects associated with the user in the first virtual space. 29 An area on the first game part screen where only objects not placed within the Alternatively, the first game part screen may be a different screen (object storage screen) For example, an image of an object may be displayed on the object list 28. An image of the object may be displayed and made to function as the object button 34.

[0093] Next, the terminal control unit 26 starts waiting for a user operation on the first game part screen. do.

[0094] Next, when the terminal control unit 26 detects a user operation on the object button 34a, For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the entire area on the first game part screen is designated as the first virtual space display area 2 7 and hides the object list 28. The terminal control unit 26 also sets the first virtual In the space 29, an object 30 (30b) corresponding to the object button 34a is placed. The terminal control unit 26 also moves the object 30b into the first virtual space display area 27. Display it movably.

[0095] Hereinafter, the object 30 displayed to be movable will be referred to as the object 30 in a movable state. For example, the terminal control unit 26 may When a user operation (e.g., a tap operation) on the object 30a is detected, The movable state of object 30b may be cancelled, and object 30a may be set to the movable state. In other words, the terminal control unit 26 controls the object displayed in the first virtual space display area 27. The object 30 that is set to be in a movable state is switched in response to a user operation on the object 30. .

[0096] Next, the terminal control unit 26 controls the object 30 (30a , 30b) to change the display mode of the first game medium corresponding to the first display mode from the first display mode to the second display mode. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, in the second display mode, the object 30a The commander character 31 and the barracks 32 associated with the first display mode are simpler than those in the first display mode. The image is displayed as an image showing a shape, for example, an image showing a geometric shape such as a polygon or a polyhedron. In the second display mode, the color of the image showing the first game medium is changed according to the game of the first game medium. The colors may be coded according to a group parameter, such as type, attribute, or level.

[0097] Next, the terminal control unit 26 displays a list button 35 and a cost table on the first game part screen. A display area 36, ​​a rotation button 37, and a decision button 38 are displayed.

[0098] The list button 35 is a user operation for displaying the hidden object list 28. The terminal control unit 26 is a user interface that accepts the list button 35. When a user operation is detected, an object is displayed on the first game part screen, as in Figure 5. Display the call list 28.

[0099] The cost display area 36 displays the costs of all the objects 30 arranged in the first virtual space 29. This is an area where the total value of the storage capacity and a predetermined threshold value (capacity) are displayed.

[0100] The rotation button 37 is a user-operated button for changing the direction of the object 30 that is displayed as being movable. The terminal control unit 26 is a user interface that accepts operations. When a user operation is detected, the object 30 (in FIG. 8) is displayed as being movable. The object 30b) is oriented, for example, as a clock on the xy plane in the first virtual space 29. Change it so that it rotates 90 degrees around the screen.

[0101] The decision button 38 is a user input button for accepting a user operation to complete the first game part. The terminal control unit 26 detects a user operation on the decision button 38. Based on information about all objects 30 arranged in the first virtual space 29, It is determined whether a predetermined condition (first condition) is satisfied.

[0102] For example, the first condition is (1a) a condition set for each object 30 arranged in the first virtual space 29. At least one of the connection positions set in the object 30 is connected to at least one of the other objects 30. (2a) All of the arranged (3a) The total cost of the 30 objects is less than or equal to the capacity. (4a) the placed objects 30 do not overlap each other; The condition that the start position S and the goal position G are included inside the object 30, and (5a ) The placement of each of the placed objects 30 is confirmed, The first condition includes at least one of the above conditions, but is not limited to these. For example, a predetermined prohibited area may be provided in the first virtual space 29. The condition is that the placement prohibition area and the placed object 30 do not overlap each other. The operation of the terminal control unit 26 in response to the determination of whether the first condition is satisfied may include: More on this later.

[0103] Next, the terminal control unit 26 moves the object 30b displayed in a movable manner in the first virtual space 2 When a user operation (moving operation) to move an object within the 9 is detected, the object is moved according to the moving operation. That is, the terminal control unit 26 moves the object 30b in the first virtual space. The first position information included in the first arrangement information associated with b is changed. For example, the user swipes the object 30b on the screen while touching it with his / her finger. .

[0104] Next, the terminal control unit 26 determines the position of the object 30b that is displayed movably. When a user operation (placement confirmation operation) is detected, the object placed in the first virtual space 29 is Based on the information about the object 30, it is determined whether a predetermined condition (second condition) is satisfied. The position determination operation is, for example, an operation in which the user releases his / her finger from the object 30b on the screen. It is.

[0105] For example, the second condition is (1b) a small amount of movement set for the object 30b displayed movably. At least one connection position is set to another object 30a. (2b) The condition that all objects in the layout have a specific relative positional relationship to the position of the 0 The total cost of (30a, 30b) is less than or equal to the capacity, and (3b ) The object 30b displayed as movable overlaps with another object 30a. The second condition includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: In addition to the above conditions, any other conditions may be included. For example, the first virtual space 29 includes a certain A certain prohibited area is provided, and the object displayed as movable is separated from the prohibited area. 30b and may include a condition that they do not overlap.

[0106] If it is determined that the second condition is not satisfied, the terminal control unit 26 The object 30b is displayed in a different manner from the usual manner. For example, in FIG. As shown in FIG. 33, the connection position set in the object 30b and the connection position set in the object 30c are The connection position set to 0a and exist at different positions in the first virtual space 29. Therefore, it is determined that the above-mentioned condition (1b) of the second condition is not satisfied. In this case, the terminal control unit 26 changes the color of the object 30b (see FIG. 8) or The object 30b is displayed in an emphasized manner, for example by blinking the object 30b. In this way, the user is notified that the second condition is not met, and the second condition is not met. The user is prompted to move the object 30b again so as to

[0107] On the other hand, if it is determined that the second condition is satisfied, the terminal control unit 26 Specifically, the terminal control unit 26 determines the placement of the object 30b. For example, in FIG. 9, the determination flag corresponding to the object 30b is changed from OFF to ON. 4 shows how the arrangements of the ports 30a and 30b have been finalized.

[0108] Next, when the terminal control unit 26 detects a user operation on the decision button 38, Based on information about all objects 30 (30a, 30b) placed in the space 29, Then, it is determined whether the above-mentioned first condition is satisfied.

[0109] For example, when it is determined that the first condition is not satisfied, the terminal control unit 26 Display on the screen of at least one object with associated missing information and changing the appearance of the at least one object to an appearance that is identifiable by a user. Specifically, in the first condition, for example, the placed objects 30 overlap each other. If it is determined that the condition is not met, the terminal control unit 26 At least one object 30 in the image is changed in color or blinked in a predetermined intensity. Preferably, the terminal control unit 26 displays information indicating the unmet condition on the screen. For example, the user is informed that the placed objects 30 overlap each other. The notification image is displayed.

[0110] In FIG. 9, (1) the object 30a is The connection position of the object 30b and the connection position of the object 30c are substantially the same position in the first virtual space 29. (2) The total cost of the objects 30a and 30b (for example, 4 0 points) is less than the capacity (e.g., 100 points). The objects 30a and 30b are arranged so as not to overlap each other. The start position S and the goal position G are included within 0a and 30b. And, (5) The placement of all the placed objects 30a and 30b has been confirmed. Since the above conditions (1a) to (5a) included in the first condition are satisfied, the first condition is satisfied. is determined to be satisfied.

[0111] If it is determined that the first condition is satisfied, the terminal control unit 26 The two or more objects 30 are arranged in accordance with the relative positional relationship in the first virtual space 29 of the first virtual space 29. Information regarding the first game medium associated with at least one of the objects 30 is Specifically, the placement suppression flag or the game suppression flag included in the information about the first game medium are changed. The parameters of the game change. The details are explained below.

[0112] First, a terminal control unit that changes a placement inhibition flag included in information related to the first game medium. For example, as shown by the marker 33 in FIG. The connection positions of the objects 30a and 30b are set in the first virtual space 29. The object 30a has a relative positional relationship of being in approximately the same position. When the relative positional relationship between the objects 30a and 30b is detected, The placement inhibition flag associated with the first game medium (wall) placed at the connection position is set to OFF or In this way, the wall located at the connection position of the object 30 is Placement in the second virtual space is suppressed.

[0113] Next, a terminal control that changes a game parameter included in the information about the first game medium The operation of the terminal control unit 26 will be described. The terminal control unit 26 controls a specific first game medium (a second officer character Object 30 (the adjutant object) to which the object (the object) is associated For example, when an object 30 has a relative positional relationship with an adjacent object 30, The game parameters of the associated first game medium are changed. For example, the terminal control unit 2 6 is a character of a lieutenant among the first game media associated with the other object 30. A first game parameter of a first game medium to which the same attribute as the attribute of the data is associated (for example, , attack power). Preferably, the terminal control unit 26 increases the second game power of the adjutant character. A change amount of a first game parameter of the first game medium is determined according to a parameter (e.g., HP). For example, the higher the HP of the adjutant character, the greater the increase in attack power of the first game medium. There will be more.

[0114] Next, the terminal control unit 26 processes all the objects 30 ( 30a, 30b) are associated with the first game media in the second virtual space. The terminal control unit 26 associates the second location information with the location restriction flag 202 set to ON. For a first game medium to which the second location information is associated, the association of the second location information may be omitted.

[0115] Next, the terminal control unit 26 associates the object 30 arranged in the first virtual space 29 with the object 30. The display mode of the selected first game medium is changed from the second display mode to the first display mode. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the first game medium associated with the object 30a is The commander character 31 and the barracks 32 are displayed in the first display mode. Similarly, the barracks 39 and the gun 40, which are the first game media associated with the first display 30b, It is displayed in the form.

[0116] The terminal control unit 26 then receives information about the first game medium associated with the second location information. to the server device 11, and the first game part process ends.

[0117] By the above-mentioned first game part process, one or more objects arranged in the first virtual space 29 are When the second location information is associated with the first game medium associated with the object 30, In the second game part process described later, a second virtual space in which the first game content is placed is The second virtual space that is set can be set, for example, as shown in FIG. A region 41 (41) according to the shape of an object 30 (30a, 30b) placed in 29 In FIG. 11, for the sake of simplicity, the second virtual space includes at least The first game medium to be placed is not shown.

[0118] For example, the positive direction of the Z axis is the upward direction in the second virtual space along the Z axis in the second virtual space. On the other hand, when the negative direction of the Z axis is defined as the downward direction in the second virtual space, the regions 41a and 41b are Along the side of the wall 42, which is the first game medium, is disposed. , the placement of walls associated with the placement suppression flag set to ON is suppressed. As a result, The wall 42 extends over the entire side surface of each of the regions 41a and 41b, except for a position 43 shown in FIG. Therefore, the areas 41a and 41b surrounded by the wall 42 are are connected at position 43. In the second game part described later, The second game medium placed within the wall 42 passes through a position 43 where the wall 42 is not placed. , it is possible to move between area 41a and area 41b.

[0119] (Second game part processing) Next, the second game part process will be described. In this game, the user operates the second game medium to aim to conquer the second virtual space of the other users.

[0120] First, the terminal control unit 26 starts the second game part in response to a user operation to start the second game part. A request to start the second game part is transmitted to the server device 11. The request may include information specifying the other user.

[0121] Next, the terminal control unit 26 receives the request to start the second game part from the server device 11. The terminal control unit 26 receives an instruction to start the second game part. Among the information about the other users, information about the first game medium associated with the second arrangement information is The information is stored in the terminal storage unit 24.

[0122] Next, the terminal control unit 26 stores the second location information stored in the terminal storage unit 24. Based on the information on the first game medium related to the other user, Specifically, the terminal control unit 26 sets up a space for each first game medium. The medium is placed at a position (X, Y, Z) in the second virtual space indicated by the second placement information associated with the medium. In this manner, the second virtual space in which the first game content is placed is set.

[0123] Next, the terminal control unit 26 associates the second location information with the second game medium of the user. The second game medium is placed at a position indicated by the second position information in the second virtual space. The position indicated by the position information corresponds to, for example, a start position S set in the first virtual space. A position in the second virtual space.

[0124] Next, the terminal control unit 26 displays the second game part screen on the display unit 25 to start the second game. Start part-time work.

A match is performed against the game medium 44.

[0135] Specifically, the terminal control unit 26 determines whether an attack by the first game medium or the third game medium is a second game medium. When the second game medium 44 is hit, the HP of the second game medium 44 is decreased. 26 is a step for determining whether the HP of the second game medium 44 has become zero, i.e., whether the second game medium 44 has lost. If it is determined that the second game medium 44 has been defeated, the terminal control unit 26 determines that the user has failed to complete the game task. If it is determined that player 4 has not lost, the terminal control unit 26 continues the match.

[0136] More specifically, the terminal control unit 26 determines whether the attack by the second game medium 44 is or when it hits the third game medium, it reduces the HP of the first game medium or the third game medium. Next, the terminal control unit 26 detects that the HP of the first game medium or the third game medium has reached zero. That is, it is determined whether the first game medium or the third game medium has been defeated. When it is determined that the first game medium or the third game medium has lost, i.e., the second game medium has won, If it is determined that the first game medium or the third game medium is The operation mode and the display mode are changed to a mode indicating the defeat of the first game medium or the third game medium. Specifically, the terminal control unit 26 controls the first game medium or the third game medium to be played in the second virtual space. or stop the operation of the first game medium or the third game medium, and For example, the display mode may be changed to an image of a destroyed barracks or an image of a fallen character. Then, the terminal control unit 26 ends the match and continues the progress of the second game part. If it is determined that the first game medium or the third game medium has not been defeated, the terminal control unit 2 6 The match will continue.

[0137] Next, the terminal control unit 26 determines whether the second game medium 44 satisfies a predetermined condition in the second virtual space. In this embodiment, the predetermined condition is whether the second game medium 44 is specified. The condition includes, but is not limited to, winning a battle against a commander character. For example, The condition is that the position in the second virtual space corresponds to the goal position G set in the first virtual space. The condition that the second game medium 44 is moved to the specified location may be included. If so, the terminal control unit 26 determines that the user has succeeded in achieving the game task. do.

[0138] Next, when the terminal control unit 26 determines whether the game task has been accomplished, the terminal control unit 26 displays the result of the determination as follows: The result information including the result of the judgment is transmitted to the server device 11. In addition to the result of the judgment, the result information may include, for example, The time required to complete the game task and the quality of the second game medium 44 at the time the game task is completed Any information determined by the execution of the second game part, such as HP, may be included.

[0170] In this manner, the terminal device 12 according to the present embodiment stores the object associated with the first game medium. The object is associated with first position information indicating the position in the first virtual space. The device 12 performs the object positioning for each of the one or more objects associated with the first position information. A second position indicating a position in the second virtual space is provided to the first game medium associated with the object. With this configuration, for example, the object that the user places in the first virtual space is associated with the position information. The second virtual space is set based on the object. A second virtual game medium reflecting the user's intention is generated by comparing the first virtual game medium with a configuration in which a certain first game medium is pre-arranged. The space can be set, which makes the game more interesting.

[0171] In addition, a second virtual space is set based on the object placed in the first virtual space by the user. Therefore, for example, the user may place multiple first game contents one by one in the second virtual space. In comparison with the above configuration, the user can control one or more first game media in a first virtual space on an object-by-object basis. This reduces the burden on the user and improves usability.

[0172] Furthermore, when it is determined that the second condition is satisfied, the terminal device 12 In this way, the condition for determining the location of the object is By providing the above condition, the combination and arrangement of the first game contents to be placed in the second virtual space can be determined. This allows for restrictions and makes it easier to adjust game balance.

[0173] In addition, the terminal device 12 detects the relative positions of two or more objects arranged in the first virtual space. Depending on the relationship, it is associated with at least one of the two or more objects. In this way, two or more pieces of information about the first game medium are stored in the first virtual space. When arranging the above objects, information about the first game medium, for example, 1. The HP of the game medium changes, so the position of the object in the first virtual space This will improve your strategic thinking.

[0174] The present invention has been described based on the drawings and examples. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and variations can be made based on the present disclosure. Please note that it is easy to make modifications and variations of the above. It should be noted that modifications are included within the scope of the present invention. For example, each means, each step, etc. The functions contained within can be rearranged logically so that they are consistent and can be implemented in multiple steps or steps. can be combined into one or separated.

[0175] For example, in the above-described embodiment, the object included in the information about the first game medium The object's position information is the position of the object in the first virtual space based on a predetermined origin set on the object. Regarding the configuration represented by the combination of x and y coordinates (dx, dy) in the xyz coordinate system, However, the present invention is not limited to this.

[0176] Specifically, the intra-object position information is, for example, a combination of x coordinates, y coordinates, and z coordinates. In this case, the coordinates associated with the object may be expressed as (dx,dy,dz). The first game medium associated with the object having the first position information (x, y, 0) The first position information of the body is (x+dx,y+dy,dz). Or, the object internal position The position information is the XYZ coordinates of the second virtual space based on a predetermined origin set on the object. It may be expressed as a combination of X and Y coordinates in the coordinate system (dX, dY, dZ). In this case, the terminal control unit 26 of the terminal device 12 obtains the correspondence information between the first location information and the second location information. Based on the above, the second position information corresponding to the first position information (x, y, 0) associated with the object is The terminal control unit 26 then calculates the second position (X, Y, 0). Second position information obtained by adding the position information (dX, dY, dZ) within the object to the information (X, Y). (X+dX, Y+dY, dZ) is associated with the first game medium.

[0177] In the above-described embodiment, the connection position of an object is determined based on the connection position of another object. When the object has a predetermined relative positional relationship with the connection position, the object is arranged at the connection position. This section explains how the placement suppression flag associated with a placed wall changes from off to on. However, the method of controlling the placement suppression flag is not limited to this. The placement suppression flags associated with all walls placed at the connection positions are set to on in the initial state. In this case, the terminal control unit 26 determines whether the connection position set for the object is If the connection position of the object does not have a predetermined relative positional relationship with respect to the connection position of another object, Even if you change the placement suppression flag associated with a wall placed at the next position from on to off, good.

[0178] In the above embodiment, the object is connected to a wall arranged at a connection position. Although the configuration in which the associated placement suppression flag can be changed has been described, The placement inhibition flag of the first game medium placed at a position other than the connection position may be changed. stomach.

[0179] For example, the terminal control unit 26 may be configured to generate a combination of two or more objects arranged in the first virtual space. If the combination of two or more objects results in a certain shape (for example, a square), Except for multiple walls arranged around the entire perimeter of the combination shape, Switches the associated wall's placement suppression flag from off to on.

[0180] For example, the terminal control unit 26 may If the combination forms a certain shape (e.g., a square), the two or more objects Based on information about at least one associated first game medium, for example, At least one game parameter (e.g., attack power) of the first game content is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. When the object is combined, a plurality of objects are arranged around the entire periphery of the shape of the combination of the two or more objects. Change the wall placement suppression flag associated with the two or more objects from off to on, excluding walls. Switch to ON.

[0181] With this configuration, the user can select the object in the first game part. It is now possible to place multiple objects in the first virtual space without being aware of their connection positions. Therefore, even a user who is not familiar with games can easily place objects. , and also maintain game balance.

[0182] In the above-described embodiment, during the execution of the first game part, the object in the movable state When a placement confirmation operation for confirming the placement of the object 30b is detected, the object 30b and the other When the object 30a overlaps with the object 30b, the terminal control unit 26 A process for automatically eliminating the conflict may be performed.

[0183] Specifically, the terminal control unit 26 moves the object to a position where it does not overlap with the object 30b. The object 30a may be automatically moved in the first virtual space. The object 30b is then moved to the position in the first virtual space where the object 30b was located before the object 30b was moved. Alternatively, preferably, the terminal control unit 26 moves the object 30b. For at least one connection position, at least one connection position of the object 30a is determined. The object 30a is moved so as to have a certain relative positional relationship.

[0184] More specifically, the terminal control unit 26 erases the object 30a from the first virtual space. Then, the object list 28 displays the object button 34 corresponding to the object 30a. You may have them show you.

[0185] With this configuration, when determining the arrangement of the object in the first virtual space, This reduces the burden on the user of having to consider overlapping of items, improving usability.

[0186] In the above-described embodiment, during the execution of the first game part, The configuration compares the total cost of all objects in the cluster with the capacity. As explained above, the total cost value of some objects arranged in the first virtual space is used. For example, as described above, the first virtual space may be divided into a plurality of regions on the xy plane. In the case where the first virtual space is divided into two regions (see the dashed lines in FIG. 7), each of the first virtual space has one or more For example, in the example shown in FIG. 7, the first virtual space 29 is divided into 6 x 6 = 36 regions, each of which is divided into 3 x 3 = 9 regions. In this case, the terminal control unit 26 controls each of the four large areas. The capacity is associated with each of the large numbers of nodes and stored in the terminal storage unit 24. Next, the terminal control unit 26 For a region, the sum of the costs of the objects placed in the large region and the cost of the corresponding substitute region are calculated. Compare with the associated capacity.

[0187] In the above-described embodiment, during execution of the first game part, the terminal control unit 26 Selectively select only the object buttons 34 corresponding to objects that satisfy a certain condition. The image may be displayed in the object list 28.

[0188] For example, the terminal control unit 26 may receive a command from a user specifying an object A placed in the first virtual space. User operation (for example, a tap on object A displayed in the first virtual space display area 27) When a user clicks a specified object, the specified object is selected from all objects associated with the user. A shape that can be placed in place of the object A (for example, a shape that can be placed in place of other objects already placed) The terminal control unit 26 then identifies the objects having the identified shapes. The object button 34 corresponding to the selected object is displayed in the object list 28. The terminal control unit 26 then detects a user operation on the object button 34. Then, object A is deleted from the first virtual space and object A is placed in the The terminal control unit 26 also places the object B at the position where the object B was erased. An object button 34 corresponding to A may be displayed in the object list 28. Alternatively, instead of deleting object A, the terminal control unit 26 may, for example, Object A can be automatically moved in the first virtual space so that it does not overlap with object B. good.

[0189] For example, the terminal control unit 26 may control the first virtual space 2 displayed on the first game part screen. A user operation to specify an arbitrary position in the first virtual space display area 27 (for example, Next, the terminal control unit 26 detects all the Among the objects, the shapes that can be placed at the specified position (for example, other objects that have already been placed) Next, the terminal control unit 26 identifies an object having a shape that does not overlap with the object. The object button 34 corresponding to the identified object is selected in the object list 28. Then, the terminal control unit 26 displays the object button 34 in response to a user operation. When it detects, it places the corresponding object at the specified position in the first virtual space. .

[0190] For example, as described above, the first virtual space may be divided into a plurality of large regions on the xy plane. In this case, the terminal control unit 26 controls the first virtual A user operation to specify an arbitrary position in the space 29 (for example, the first virtual space display area 27 Next, the terminal control unit 26 detects a tap operation on the Among all objects, the shapes that can be placed within the large area that contains the specified position (for example For example, we identify objects that have a shape that fits within a 3x3=9 area. The terminal control unit 26 then switches the object button 34 corresponding to the identified object on. The terminal control unit 26 then displays the object button 3 in the object list 28. When a user operation on 4 is detected, the corresponding object is designated in the first virtual space. The position is placed within a large area that includes the selected position.

[0191] With this configuration, for example, an object that can be placed at a position designated by the user in the first virtual space is displayed. Only the object buttons 34 corresponding to the objects are selectively displayed in the object list 28. Therefore, many object buttons displayed in the object list 28 This reduces the burden on the user of searching for the desired object button 34 among the buttons 34. This improves the system's usability.

[0192] In the above-described embodiment, during execution of the first game part, the terminal control unit 26 For example, the first virtual object as described above may be created automatically. When a space is divided into multiple large regions on the xy plane, the terminal control unit 26 , specify an arbitrary position in the first virtual space 29 displayed on the first game part screen. A user operation (for example, a tap operation within the first virtual space display area 27) is detected. Then, the terminal control unit 26 identifies the large area that includes the specified position. 26 automatically or in response to a user operation, selects one or more first game media; and The terminal control unit 26 selects one or more objects having a shape that fits within the identified large area. The first game medium automatically defines the associated new object. The control unit 26 stores information about the defined object in the terminal storage unit 24. The configuration allows, for example, all objects to be compared to a predefined configuration to determine the object This increases the variety of items, making the game more interesting.

[0193] In the above-described embodiment, during execution of the first game part, the terminal control unit 26 The shape and / or orientation of the object may be changed automatically. In the case where the first virtual space is divided into a plurality of large regions on the xy plane as described above, The terminal control unit 26 executes the task in the first virtual space 29 displayed on the first game part screen. A user operation to specify a desired position (for example, a tap operation within the first virtual space display area 27) Next, the terminal control unit 26 identifies a large area that includes the specified position. Next, the terminal control unit 26 automatically or in response to a user operation, Next, the terminal control unit 26 selects the object to be displayed on the screen. If the object does not fit within the larger area, the object's shape is automatically changed to fit within the larger area. Orient the object so that it fits within the larger area automatically. With this configuration, the object to be placed in the first virtual space is changed to This reduces the burden on the user of having to consider the shape and orientation, improving usability.

[0194] In the above-described embodiment, during execution of the first game part, the terminal control unit 26 At least one object among one or more objects placed in a virtual space The first arrangement information associated with the above is stored in the terminal storage unit 24 as one piece of template information. In this case, the terminal control unit 26 may Then, the template information is selected automatically or according to the user's operation. The unit 26 assigns the at least one object to each object included in the template information. Based on the first placement information of the objects, the objects are arranged in the first virtual space. For example, the user may select one or more locations in the first virtual space in a first game part that has been previously executed. The arrangement of the objects is collected in the first virtual space in the first game part currently being executed. This reduces the operational burden on the user who places the object in the first virtual space. This reduces the burden on the user and improves usability.

[0195] In the above-described embodiment, the first game content is associated with the object in advance. However, the first game medium associated with the object may be, for example, The object may be selected by the user or may be changed to another game medium. In addition, a specific restriction may be imposed on the change of the first game content associated with the event. In the first game medium, a first game medium associated with the object is, for example, the same as the first game medium. Other first game media having the same attribute, or other games with a level lower than that of the first game media By using such a configuration, it is possible to change the media to a more flexible one. Since the first game medium can be associated with the game, the variety of objects increases, and the game In addition, since a predetermined restriction is imposed on the change of the first game medium, the interest of the game is improved. The lance can be maintained.

[0196] In the above-described embodiment, for example, a set of one or more objects selected by a user The combination may be determined as one object. For example, The unit 26 automatically combines one or more objects selected in response to a user operation. Then, the terminal control unit 26 creates (defines) the new object. The information about the object is stored in the terminal storage unit 24. Here, the terminal control unit 26 One or more objects designated by a user operation may be selected, or The specified information (e.g., the shape or cost of the object) is then The above objects may be selected automatically.

[0197] In the above embodiment, the object is x at z=0 in the first virtual space. Although the configuration in which the image is arranged on the -y plane has been described, the configuration is not limited to z=0, and the image may be arranged in the first virtual space. In such a configuration, for example, in the first virtual space, Two or more objects may be stacked on top of each other along the z-axis.

[0198] Here, only within a specific region of the first virtual space, two or more objects are aligned in the z-axis direction. The devices may be stacked on top of each other. Also, a capacity may be assigned to each specific area. The terminal control unit 26 determines whether the total value of the costs of two or more objects corresponds to an area. Two or more objects may be placed in a specific area only if the capacity is less than the capacity specified. Objects that are stacked in the positive z-direction may be allowed. For example, an attack from the air against a game medium on the ground is used as the first game medium to be associated with the Examples of the flying characters and airships that can perform the above-mentioned functions include the flying characters and airships that can perform the above-mentioned functions.

[0199] In addition, for objects stacked in the z-axis direction, the same process is performed as in the above embodiment. The terminal control unit 26 may determine whether the first condition or the second condition is satisfied. In the configuration, for example, the first condition or the second condition may include a setting for each of the stacked objects. At least one of the connection points set on the object must be connected to at least one of the other objects. The first virtual space has a predetermined relative positional relationship with respect to the connection position (for example, the two connection positions are in the first virtual space). In such a case, for example, The user determines whether the connection positions of two or more objects are equal to or greater than the first condition or the second condition. 1. Arrange the two or more objects so that they are at approximately the same position in the virtual space. .

[0200] In the above-described embodiment, each user owns a second game medium, and Although the configuration in which one of the game media is used in the second game part has been described, The second game content used in the game part is not limited to this. For example, In this system, users do not own individual game media, but use a common game media for all users to play games. In this way, regardless of the type or validity of the game medium owned, each user may To ensure that the game progresses on a fair basis, the percentage of the score that is contributed by the user's gameplay skills Therefore, it is expected that users will improve their gameplay skills and have a higher interest in the game. This increases the interest of users.

[0201] In the above-described embodiment, the server device 11 generates some of the various game screens. The terminal device 12 displays a part of the game screen (e.g., For example, a header area and a footer area in which menu buttons are arranged) are installed in the terminal device 12. The screen may be displayed natively by a native app installed on the device. As described above, the game according to the embodiment is carried out by the server device 11 and the terminal device 12. It can also be a hybrid game in which the game controller handles part of the processing.
