As will be described later, when a vacancy occurs in a player who enters each team, a computer tank that replenishes the vacancy is made to appear in the game field 320 constituting the game space to form a team.
[0030]
FIG. 3 shows a functional block diagram of the game system of the present embodiment.
[0031]
The game system according to the present embodiment includes the plurality of game machines 10-1, 10-2,... 10-4 and the arithmetic processing unit 200 described above.
[0032]
Each game machine 10 includes a player operation unit 100, an entry unit 110, a display 120, and an image composition unit 130.
[0033]
The player operation unit 100 is a part operated by the player such as the levers 12 and 14 and the triggers 16 and 18 shown in FIG.
[0034]
The entry unit 110 includes a part of the coin insertion unit 20 and the player operation unit 100.
[0035]
The arithmetic processing unit 200 includes a memory in which a predetermined game program is stored, a processor that performs multiplayer game calculations based on the game program and input signals from each game machine 10, and other necessary memories. It is configured. In FIG. 3, these arithmetic processing units 200 are expressed as functional blocks, focusing on their functions.
[0036]
That is, the arithmetic processing unit 200 functions as a game calculation unit 210, a computer automatic control unit 220, a team organization unit 230, a remaining machine data storage unit 240, and a score calculation display unit 250. Here, the score calculation display unit 250 also functions as a score adding means and a score display means.
[0037]
When a coin is inserted from the coin insertion unit 20 of one of the game machines 10 and entry into the game is performed, the game calculation unit 210 teams the game machine 10 for a certain reception time (usually 20 seconds). While controlling to selection mode, all the other game machines 10 are controlled to entry acceptance mode. At this time, the image composition unit 130 of each game machine 10 controlled to the entry reception mode displays an entry reception screen on the display 120 of the own machine based on a command from the game calculation unit 210 and sets the entry reception time. Countdown display. Each game machine 10 controlled to the entry acceptance mode is automatically switched to the team selection mode when a predetermined coin is inserted from the coin insertion unit 20 during the entry reception time.
[0038]
A team selection screen 500 shown in FIG. 6A is displayed on the display 120 of each game machine 10 controlled to the team selection mode based on an instruction from the game calculation unit 210. In this screen 500, the entry acceptance time 510 is also counted down.
[0039]
The player selects either the A team 400 or the B team 410 using the entry unit 110 before the entry reception time 510 reaches zero. In the embodiment, within the period in which the team selection screen 500 is displayed, one team is selected by operating the levers 12 and 14, and the selected team is determined by operating the trigger buttons 16 and 18. Is configured to do.
[0040]
In this way, in the game system of the embodiment, prior to the start of the game, the players of the game machines 10-1, 10-2,. It is configured to allow entry. Then, on the display 120 of the game machine 10 that has selected the team, the game calculation unit 210 displays the participation team determination screen 520 shown in FIG. A screen 520 shown in the drawing represents a case where the player has joined the white army team (B team 410).
[0041]
The team organization unit 230 performs arithmetic processing for team organization of the A team 400 and the B team 410 based on the data of the entered game machines 10. At this time, for the game machine 10 in which no team is selected during the entry reception time, the team to which the team belongs is automatically determined based on a predetermined program.
[0042]
Furthermore, when the entry acceptance is completed, the team organizing unit 230 performs a calculation process for adding a computer tank to the team when the players of the teams 400 and 410 are vacant. That is, the game system of the embodiment is formed as a multiplayer game with a capacity of four people. For example, when there are three game machines 10-1, 10-2, and 10-3 entered, Arithmetic processing is performed to replenish one vacant computer tank.
[0043]
As a result, even if the game system has a capacity of four people, it is possible to form a team by dealing with a wide range from the case where only one player enters to the case where all four players enter.
[0044]
Further, the game organizing unit 230 is configured to always include a computer tank in addition to the player tank when the teams 400 and 410 are organized. That is, the A team 400 and the B team 410 of this embodiment are each composed of four tanks. Therefore, the A team 400 and the B team 410 are configured as a combination of a maximum of four player tanks and at least four computer tanks. For example, when four player tanks belong to the A team 400, the team is organized so that four computer tanks belong to the B team 410.
[0045]
7 to 8 show specific examples of the team formation of the A team 400 and the B team 410 according to the entry status of each game machine 10-1, 10-2,..., 10-4.
[0046]
For example, when the entered game machine 10 is one and the player joins the team A 400, the team organization is as shown in FIG. 7A. When the player joins the team B, FIG. The team is organized as shown in. In any of these cases, one team is composed of computer tanks (CPU tanks), and the other team is composed of one player tank and three computer tanks.
[0047]
Further, when two players enter, the team organization is any one of FIGS. 8A, 8B, and 8C depending on the team selected by each player.
[0048]
When three players enter, team formation is performed by the same method even when all four players enter.
[0049]
Furthermore, the team organizing unit 230 of the present embodiment previously sets a predetermined number of tank stocks for each team, and each time the tanks constituting each team are destroyed, The tank is designed to be revived in the game space. That is, 12 tank stock numbers are set and stored for each team 400 and 410 in the remaining machine data storage unit 240 of this embodiment. The number of tank stocks of each team is decremented by one by the team organizing unit 230 every time the tanks of each team are replenished for restoration.
[0050]
That is, Team A 400 and Team B 410 are each composed of a total of 16 tank groups including stock tanks, 4 tanks of which appear in the game field 320, and the remaining tanks remain. The game conditions are set so that the machine waits in the rear.
[0051]
When the entry of each game machine 10 is completed and the team formation of the A team 400 and the B team 410 by the team formation unit 230 is completed, the game calculation unit 210 includes a predetermined game program and a player operation unit of each game machine 10. Based on the input signal from 100, the signals from the computer automatic control section 220, and the signals from the team organization section 230, a battle type game operation in which the A team and the B team fight is performed.
[0052]
When the game is started, the computer automatic control unit 220 controls all the computer tanks 302 appearing in the game field 320 according to a predetermined game program. Specifically, based on the running position of each tank in the game field 320, etc., it is automatically determined whether to attack or retreat, and each computer tank 302 is operated. At this time, the computer tank 302 of each team is automatically controlled so as to attack the player tank 300 of the opponent team as a preferential target over the computer tank 302.
[0053]
Each of these tanks is assigned a team to which the tank belongs and an identification number within the team. Each tank on the screen is displayed with an identification display of an enemy ally and an ally or enemy team as shown in FIG. The identification number of the tank is displayed. Thus, the player can clearly identify the enemy / ally friendly tanks and selectively attack only the tanks of the enemy team.
[0054]
Then, the game calculation unit 210 performs a battle against the team in the game field 320 based on the data of each computer tank 302 operated in this manner and the operation data of the player tank 300 input from each game machine 10. The game calculation is performed, and the calculation data is output to the image composition unit 130 of each game machine 10.
[0055]
The image composition unit 130 of each game machine 10 synthesizes the scenery of the three-dimensional game space seen from the player tank 300 of the own machine, specifically, the scenery in the game field 320 shown in FIG. Is displayed as a game screen.
[0056]
For example, as shown in FIG. 9, a scene in the game space that can be seen within a range of 65 degrees ahead of the player tank 300 is displayed on the display 120 as a game screen. Here, there are two enemy tanks and one ally tank in front of the player tank 300. In this case, the friendly tank is displayed in the game screen as shown in FIG. 10A, for example, and the enemy tank is displayed as shown in FIG. 10B.
[0057]
Therefore, the player can destroy the enemy tank by aligning the aim 301 in the game screen with the enemy tank and pulling a trigger button such as a machine gun or a missile.
[0058]
In addition, since the game of the present embodiment is a team competition, for example, it is possible to use a strategy that individually destroys one enemy tank together with a friendly tank, and a game in which one player fights against an enemy. Compared to, you can make various strategies, so the game is very interesting.
[0059]
In addition, if any of the tanks constituting the teams 400 and 410 are destroyed by the opponent during this battle, the team organizing unit 230 immediately selects a new tank from the remaining machines assigned to the team. Refill the game space. In other words, both the player's tank and the computer tank can be restored even if they are destroyed as long as there are remaining units in their team, and the game can be continued.
[0060]
In addition, when the tank appearing in the game space hits an enemy tank with a missile or receives a shot from another tank, the score calculation display unit 250 calculates the points of the tank according to a predetermined rule. It is configured as follows. In the embodiment, when a missile hits an enemy tank, it gains 300 points. When it hits an ally accidentally, 200 points are deducted. Furthermore, when an enemy attack is hit, 100 points are deducted. The calculation is performed for each tank. Note that points are not increased or decreased when you are hit by mistake.
[0061]
Therefore, tanks appearing in the game space can score more and more points by aggressively and accurately attacking enemy tanks. The acquisition points (points) of each tank are not normally displayed during the game.
[0062]
When the shield amount of one tank becomes 0 during the battle between the tanks and the tank is destroyed, the game calculation unit 210 functions as a point display means, and is displayed on the display 120 via the image composition unit 130 as shown in FIG. The score item 540 indicating the score that the tank 530 has acquired so far is displayed together with the tank 530 destroyed as shown in FIG. At this time, on the display 120 of the player who has defeated the tank 530, a message 550 “Okay, defeated! Charge!” Is displayed together with the tank wreckage 530 and the point item 540. Such tank debris, points and messages are displayed for 6 seconds after destroying the opponent's tank.
[0063]
During this 6 seconds, any tank existing in the game space takes an action to take the score, so that the score can be added to its own score. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11 (B), by passing over the wreckage 530 of the destroyed tank before the point item 540 disappears, the point can be held regardless of the enemy. Can be added to points. At the same time that the score is acquired, the displayed score item 540 disappears, and a message 552 is displayed instead of “Yes! I got this point!” As shown in FIG. Next, as shown in FIG. 11 (C), a message “554” is displayed.
[0064]
In this way, each tank existing in the game space can take away the points possessed by the tank 530 and add them to its own points when another tank 530 is destroyed. Of course, the score of the destroyed tank 530 is automatically reset to zero.
[0065]
The game calculation unit 210 according to the present embodiment does not display the points of each tank calculated by the score calculation display unit 25 in this way on the game screen until the tank is destroyed, and is not known to the opponent side. It is configured as follows. Therefore, it is necessary to assemble a game strategy in which each player selectively attacks a tank that seems to have many points during the game, and it is possible to realize an interesting battle-type game with more strategy. it can.
[0066]
Furthermore, in the game system of the embodiment, even if the opponent is attacked and destroyed, the player cannot take the points unless passing over the wreckage 530 of the destroyed tank, and the destroyed tank 530 The points are configured so that they can be taken away regardless of the enemy. Therefore, even if the enemy is defeated from a distant position, there is a high probability that the other player or enemy will first take the possession of the enemy that was defeated. Therefore, when each player wants to obtain a high score, it is necessary to develop a battle that is incandescent as close as possible. This makes the game more powerful and interesting.
[0067]
Furthermore, as a strategy for obtaining higher scores, for example, even if a score item appears after destroying enemy tank A, other enemy tanks will pick up the score item. A strategy of ambushing and sniping where the tank takes items can be adopted. By adopting such a strategy, the enemy's destination can be predicted and an attack can be made from an advantageous angle. In addition, if the enemy tank B is defeated, the points for A and B can be acquired at once. be able to.
[0068]
In addition, the tanks of good players often have high scores. Therefore, a high score can be obtained by adopting a strategy in which teammates cooperate with each other to aim at the player's tank.
[0069]
Further, the score calculation display unit 250 determines the winning or losing of each team when the game ends, and calculates the game score of each player. If you destroy all of your opponent ’s tanks within the game time, that team wins. Also, when the game is over due to time out, winning or losing is determined by subtracting the number of destroyed friendly tanks from the number of tanks destroyed for each team. Then, the game calculation unit 210 displays a “win” message on the winning team's display 120 as shown in FIG. 12A, and the losing team's display 120 displays FIG. 13A. The message “Defeat” is displayed.
[0070]
After displaying the winning / losing display of such a team, the game calculation unit 210 displays the ranking and the earned points of each player on the display 120 of each player as shown in FIGS. 12 (B) and 13 (B). Displayed as individual player game results.
[0071]
In the embodiment, the score calculation display unit 250 determines the ranking of each player based on the result of subtracting the number of destroyed tanks from the number of destroyed tanks of the player.
[0072]
In addition, the score calculation display unit 250 calculates the earned points of each player at the end of the game according to the flowchart shown in FIG.
[0073]
First, it is determined whether or not each player belongs to the winning team (step S80). All points of the player belonging to the losing team are confiscated (step S82), and the confiscated points are equally distributed to the winning team players. (Step S84). In this way, after the confiscation and distribution of the points are completed, the points for each player are totaled (step S86), and the totaled result of each player is shown in FIGS. 12B and 13B. It is displayed on the display 120.
[0074]
In this way, by confiscating all the points of the losing team's players and distributing them to the winning team's players, the top priority goal of this game, the victory of the team of friends, becomes clear, and the individual's high score is increased. It is possible to make a pointless fighting method, such as aiming to avoid the victory of the team aimless, meaningless. Therefore, each player can obtain a high score according to the level of individual activity as a game result only when the team is led to victory while cooperating with the team's team player. The fun as a mold game can be further enhanced.
[0075]
FIG. 15 shows an operation flowchart of the game system of the embodiment.
[0076]
When the game is not performed at all with the four game machines 10-1, 10-2,... 10-4 shown in FIG. 1, each game machine 10 is set to the attract mode, and each game machine 10 An attract screen is displayed on the display (step S10).
[0077]
In this state, the player enters the game by inserting a predetermined game fee into the game machine 10 (step S12), and selects one of the A team 400 and the B team 410 during the predetermined reception time ( In step S14), the team organization unit 230 organizes the team A 400 and the team B 410 (step S16). As described above, in this embodiment, the team formation of the A team 400 and the B team 410 is such that a total of eight tanks appear in the game space by a maximum of four player tanks and at least four computer tanks. Done.
[0078]
When the team formation is completed, the game calculation unit 210 starts the game, displays the game space that can be seen from the corresponding player tank 300 on the display 120 of each game machine 10 as a game screen, and performs a battle-type battle. Start (step S24).
[0079]
At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, the game calculation unit 210 displays the remaining number of remaining teams 304 and the remaining number of enemy teams 306 as part of the game screen on the display 120 of each game machine 10. The player is informed of the battle situation. Further, at the bottom of the game screen, a display 308 of the shield remaining amount of the player tank 300 of the player's own player is displayed, so that the player can determine how much the player can withstand the attack of the enemy tank. , You can make an attack defense strategy.
[0080]
When the battle is started, each player can control the player tank 300 and enjoy the game so as to destroy the enemy tank while avoiding the attack of the enemy tank. At this time, when the tank of each team is destroyed (step S26), the team organizing unit 230 determines whether or not there is a remaining machine in the team to which the tank belongs (step S28), and the remaining machine remains. In this case, the destroyed tank is newly restored in the game space, and the remaining machine number stored in the remaining machine data storage unit 240 is decremented by one (step S30). In this way, each player can continue the game even if his / her player tank 300 is played until the number of remaining machines of his / her team becomes zero.
[0081]
In this way, when each tank is divided into enemy ally and developing a battle, each tank gains 300 points when it hits the enemy tank and is hit by the enemy tank, In the event that a friendly tank is hit, 100 points and 200 points are deducted from their own points. Therefore, by avoiding enemy tank attacks and reliably hitting enemy tanks, the acquisition points of each tank will gradually increase.
[0082]
The game system of the present embodiment is configured such that the points acquired by each tank can be taken by other tanks in this way, so that in addition to finding and attacking enemy tanks, the player has possession of enemy tanks. It is possible to enjoy a game in which points are taken or taken, and a more powerful battle game can be realized.
[0083]
FIG. 16 shows an operational flowchart for performing such competing points.
[0084]
First, when the game is started, the point of each tank appearing in the game space is initially set to P = P1 (step S60).
[0085]
When a destroyed tank 530 is generated in the game space (step S62), the point of the tank 530 is reset to P = 0 (step S64), and the game screen shows that tank 530 as shown in FIG. A score item 540 representing the score along with the tank wreckage 530 is displayed for 6 seconds (steps S66, S68, S74).
[0086]
During this 6 seconds, the displayed holding points (in this case, 5600 points) are added to the tank that has been first mounted on the displayed tank wreckage 530 (steps S70 and S72).
[0087]
Such competing points are held between the enemy friendly tanks existing in the game space from the start to the end of the game (step S76). Accordingly, each player can enjoy the game while enjoying the excitement of taking the gain points or being taken away with the enemy tank.
[0088]
In particular, as the second half of the game, players who have won high scores need to develop battles with great care so that they will not be destroyed by other tanks, so the game itself will become more tense, Compared to a battle game that simply attacks the opponent, a more powerful and interesting game can be realized.
[0089]
As shown in FIG. 15, the game of the present embodiment ends when all the tanks of the opponent team are destroyed within the game time (step S32) or when the game time ends (step S40).
[0090]
