  Next, an overview of in-game objects used for processing of the video game processing apparatus 100 of the present example will be described.

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram for describing an example of an in-game object used in a card game executed under the control of the video game processing apparatus 100 of the present example. Here, the game process (see FIG. 7) described later is started, and the game screen 101 displayed on the display screen when the card game is distributed to each player and the unit game is started will be described. The “unit game” is a card game performed in this example, from when cards are first distributed or replenished to each player from the deck, until one of the players “breaks”, or “ It means a game for one turn before each player is replenished with cards without being “breaked”. “Break” will be described in detail later.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in-game objects used for the game process by the video game processing apparatus 100 of this example are distributed to the deck card 110, the game board 120, and the players A, B, C, and D participating in the game. Cards 111 to 114, number images 131 to 134 indicating the number of coins possessed by each player, and a rate image 140 indicating rate information to be described later. That is, the card game in this example includes a card 111 held by player A, a card 112 held by player B, a card 113 held by player C, a card 114 held by player D, and a game board 120. Use to progress. As shown in FIG. 6, the game screen 101 displays number images 131 to 132 indicating the number of coins (in-game items used in the card game) owned by each player.

  The deck card 110 means a card placed on a deck (deck). The deck card 110 is composed of 52 cards in the initial state at the start of the game.

  The game board 120 is a circular board object having a plurality of squares corresponding to a plurality of numbers arranged in a predetermined order on the circumference and having a pointer extending in a circumferential direction from a center position for pointing to a specific square. It is. As shown in FIG. 6, in this example, the game board 120 points to 13 types of squares assigned with numbers from “1” to “13” and arranged in a substantially circular shape, and any square. And a pointer 122 that rotates in a straight line.

  Next, an outline of an example of a video game controlled by the video game processing apparatus 100 of this example will be described.

  A video game whose progress is controlled by the video game processing apparatus 100 of this example (hereinafter referred to as “game” as appropriate) is played by four players. The game execution format may be an interpersonal game or a computer game via a communication network. In this example, among the four players A, B, C, and D, the player A is a person who operates a controller connected to the video game processing apparatus 100, and the player B, the player C, and the player D are computers. A case will be described as an example.

  Player A determines an “initial setting rate” when starting the game. In this example, the “initial setting rate” is an initial setting value of “rate information” indicating the coin fluctuation rate when the game is won or lost. The larger the initial setting rate, the more the final coin fluctuation It is comprised so that a number may become large.

  The game is a so-called turn in which one player takes a turn (or “unit game”) after each player submits a card from his / her hand until someone “breaks” or the card is replenished to the player. It progresses as a system game.

  “Break” means that the player who stopped the pointer 122 at “break point” has selected to take coins from other players. In this example, the number of coins (hereinafter referred to as “winner coins”) given to the player who has been broken is set to increase in accordance with the number of coins placed at the break point when the break occurs. If there is one coin placed at the breakpoint, it will be “single break”, if it is two, it will be “double break”, if it is three, it will be “triple break”, if it is four, it will be “full break”. The number of winning coins increases.

  “Break point” refers to a cell in which coins corresponding to the number of cards issued are placed on the cell of the same number as the cards issued by each player. In this example, since there are not five or more cards with the same number, the maximum number of coins arranged in each square is four.

  As a flow of the game, first, each player selects one number from the distributed cards, and puts the card face down. At this time, any number of cards with the same number can be put out at the same time. When the cards for each player are available, the cards are opened all at once.

  The player who has issued the card showing the strongest number among the opened cards rotates the pointer 122 (see FIG. 6) by the number of squares indicated by the card (hereinafter referred to as “selected card” where appropriate). Thus, the specific cell 121 indicated by the pointer 122 is changed. Here, in the game of this example, a player who is given the right to rotate the pointer 122 is referred to as a “right granting player”.

  When the right-giving player rotates the pointer 122, if the pointer 122 stops on the “13” cell or passes the “13” cell, a “charge” occurs. Otherwise, a “charge” occurs. do not do. When “charge” occurs, first, the rate information is updated according to a predetermined rule. Then, each player places coins corresponding to the number of cards each player has placed on the numerical cell indicated by the cards that have been issued. As a result, a “break point”, which is a square where coins are placed, is set. When a break point is set, each player is replenished with cards so that the number of cards owned is 5, and the player is required to select the next card to be issued.

  However, when the right granting player rotates the pointer 122 so that the pointer 122 stops at the “break point” (that is, when the pointer 122 stops at a position indicating the cell where the coin is placed), the right granting player “ Whether it is a “winner” and a predetermined number of coins are taken from players other than the winner and the game win / loss is confirmed (hereinafter referred to as “winning selection”), or the next turn is entered without confirming the game win / loss ( Hereinafter, it is referred to as “continue selection”), and either one can be selected. In this way, the option of entering the next turn without confirming the game win / loss for the winner is provided, so if you make the victory selection you can get the game win in hand, This is because it is determined that the card is a hand-held card that can be a winner even in the unit game, and it is possible to select to continue. With such a configuration, strategic video game development can be realized.

  When the victor selects victory selection, the game ends after paying the coins of each player. That is, the set “break point”, the card used, etc. are reset.

  When the winner chooses to continue, the break points are set according to the cards selected by each player, the cards are replenished so that each player has 5 cards, and the next unit game starts. Is done.

  In this example, the player cannot end the game by himself / herself during the turn, and can only end the game depending on whether the player has no coins or selects the end of the game at the end of the turn. And

  Next, the operation of the video game processing apparatus 100 of this example will be described. Note that the contents of operations and processes not related to the present invention may be omitted.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of game processing executed by the video game processing apparatus 100. In the game process, a process for controlling the progress of the video game using a plurality of cards in which any one of a plurality of predetermined numbers is assigned to each card is executed. Hereinafter, a case where the progress of the video game whose outline has been described above is controlled will be described as an example.

  The game process is started, for example, when a predetermined condition is satisfied according to the operation of the player A.

  In the game process, the control unit 11 first receives selection of an initial number of coins and an initial set rate by the player A (step S101). In this example, the control unit 11 displays an initial selection screen (not shown) for causing the player A to select the initial number of coins and the rate indicating the fluctuation rate of the coins on hand. Selection regarding initial settings for the number of coins and the rate is accepted. Note that the control unit 11 sets the initial number of coins of each of the players A, B, C, and D participating in the game according to the content selected by the player A. In this example, the control unit 11 distributes the initial number of coins selected by the player A to each player (that is, updates the player information indicating the number of coins owned by each player).

  When the selection of the initial number of coins and the initial set rate is received, the control unit 11 distributes the cards from the deck cards (deck cards 110) so that each player has five cards (step S102). ). Specifically, the control unit 11 randomly selects a card to be distributed to each player from the unused cards indicated by the unused card information included in the card usage status information, and the selected card is held by each player. Update distribution card information to be a card. At this time, the control unit 11 updates the card usage status information so that the card distributed to the player becomes a used card.

  When the card is distributed to each player, the control unit 11 determines the initial position of the pointer 122 of the game board 120 (that is, the specific cell 121 indicated by the pointer 122) (see FIG. 6) (step S103). In this example, as a method for determining the initial position of the pointer 122, for example, the control unit 11 randomly selects one card from unused card information, and the same square (for example, the number of the card) A case where a method of setting a position indicating “13” when the selected card is assigned with “13” as the initial position of the pointer 122 will be described as an example. Note that the method for determining the initial position of the pointer 122 is not limited to this, and another method using a card may be adopted, or another method not using a card may be adopted.

  When the initial position of the pointer 122 is determined, the control unit 11 executes a game execution process that is a process for determining whether the game is won or lost (step S200).

  When the game execution process is executed, the control unit 11 determines whether or not a predetermined game end condition is satisfied (step S104). If it is determined that the predetermined game end condition is not satisfied (Y in step S104), the control unit 11 proceeds to the process in step S102.

  On the other hand, for example, when it is determined that a predetermined game end condition is satisfied by receiving a predetermined game end operation by the player A (N in step S104), the control unit 11 ends the processing here.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of a game execution process executed by the video game processing apparatus 100. Note that the contents of processing not related to the present invention may be omitted.

  When the game execution process is started, the control unit 11 receives a card selection from each player (step S201). Here, each player is selected from the cards distributed to each player (if the player is a computer, the control unit 11 selects a card according to a predetermined program. Hereinafter, the player's judgment is accepted). The case is the same). For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the control unit 11 displays the cards distributed to each player in a state where the numbers of the cards of the player A can be seen (for example, the card 111 in FIG. 6). The player's own cards are displayed in a state invisible to the player A (for example, cards 112 to 114 in FIG. 6).

  In this example, the display order of the cards distributed to each player is such that the cards with larger numbers are displayed in order from the right side of the one that looks at the number of the possessed card (in this example, player A). In principle. However, as an exception, when the user has a specific mask that shows the same number as the cell number for which the specific mask flag is “1”, the control unit 11 gives the specific mask to the right side with the highest priority. indicate. Further, when the player A possesses a “1” card, the control unit 11 preferentially displays the “1” card on the right side.

  Next, when selection of a card by all participating players A, B, C, and D is accepted, the control unit 11 refers to the distribution card information and the determination rule information, and there are a plurality of players who have submitted the strongest cards. It is determined whether or not (step S202). In this example, the control unit 11 displays a selection card display screen showing the cards selected by each player in response to the selection of cards by all participating players A, B, C, and D being accepted. To do.

  FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a selection card display screen. As shown in FIG. 9, in the present example, a selection card display area 201 is provided on the selection card display screen for displaying numbers associated with cards selected by each player in an identifiable manner.

  If it is determined that there are a plurality of players who have submitted the strongest cards (Y in step S202), the control unit 11 updates the rate information (step S203), and proceeds to the process in step S213 described later. To do.

  It should be noted that the rate information is an arithmetic expression used in a process of paying out a winner coin to be given to a winner and a loser coin to be paid by another player when the game has been won or lost (that is, a winner in the game). It is information which shows. In the example shown in FIG. 9, the rate applied at the time of “single break” (basic rate, here 20), the rate applied at the time of “double break” (a rate twice the basic rate, 40), the rate applied during “triple break” (3 times the basic rate, here 60), and the rate applied during “full break” (4 times the basic rate) Here, a rate image 140 showing rate information of 80) is shown. The calculation formula may be arbitrarily set. For example, in the unit game, the winner is not determined or the winner does not break, so that the rate is increased each time the unit game starts newly. It is good also as a structure to go.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that there are not a plurality of players who have selected the strongest card (N in step S202), the control unit 11 determines the player who has selected the strongest card as the right-giving player (step S204). In the case shown in FIG. 9, when the pointer 122 indicates a square of “13” (see FIG. 6), cards indicating “8”, “10”, “12”, and “5” are selected (or Since “12” is the strongest card, the control unit 11 determines the player who has selected the card indicating “12” as the right granting player.

  When the right granting player is determined, the control unit 11 receives selection of the rotation direction of the pointer 122 from the right holder player (step S205). In this example, the control unit 11 displays a selection screen for the direction of rotation of the pointer 122 to the right granting player and accepts the selection of the right granting player. In this example, the rotation direction of the pointer 122 is determined by accepting the selection of the right-giving player. However, for example, the pointer 122 is moved according to a predetermined rule without giving an option to the right-giving player. Also good.

  Upon receiving selection of the rotation direction of the pointer, the control unit 11 executes a pointer rotation effect that moves the pointer 122 in accordance with the received rotation direction selection and changes the specific square (step S206). In this example, the control unit 11 updates the game board information and rotates the pointer 122 on the game board displayed on the game screen to assign the square indicated by the pointer 122 to the selection card of the right granting player. The specific square is changed by performing the pointer rotation effect with the square moved by the number of the numbers.

  FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an example of the pointer rotation effect. In this example, a case where the right-giving player selects to rotate the pointer 122 clockwise will be described as an example. In a state where the pointer 122 indicates a square of “13” (see FIG. 6), when a rotation direction selection for rotating the pointer 122 clockwise is received from a winner who has selected the card indicating “12”, the control unit 11, the pointer 122 is rotated in the clockwise direction (the direction of the arrow 301 in FIG. 10) from the position indicating the square “13” to the position indicating “12”. That is, in this example, the movement amount when the pointer 122 moves corresponds to the number of the card selected by the right-giving player. That is, as shown in FIG. 9 (the position of the pointer 122 is the same as that in FIG. 6) and FIG. 10, the control unit 11 determines the player who has submitted the card of “12” as the right granting player. In the pointer rotation effect, a process of moving the pointer 122 by 12 squares clockwise is executed. At this time, the control unit 11 sets the specific square flag corresponding to the square number “12” in the game board information to “1”, and sets the specific square flags corresponding to the other square numbers to “0”. Change specific squares.

  When the pointer effect is executed and the specific square is changed, the control unit 11 determines whether the pointer 122 stops at the “13” square or passes through the “13” square (step S207). If it is determined that the pointer 122 stops at the “13” cell or does not pass the “13” cell (N in step S207), the control unit 11 proceeds to a process in step S209 described later.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the pointer 122 stops at the “13” cell or passes through the “13” cell (Y in step S207), the control unit 11 updates the rate information (step S208). In this example, such processing (that is, processing for updating rate information in accordance with movement of the pointer 122) or execution of such processing is referred to as “charge”.

  FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the passing of the pointer. FIG. 11 shows that when the pointer 122 is stopped at the “8” cell (that is, from the state where the pointer 122 points to the “8” cell), the “8” card is submitted to 11 shows an example of the game screen 101 when the player has turned the pointer 122 clockwise (that is, in the direction of the arrow 301 in FIG. 11) and the pointer 122 has passed the “13” cell. Shall. As illustrated in FIG. 11, when the pointer 122 passes the “13” cell, the control unit 11 updates the rate information. In this example, the control unit 11 increases the rate increase rate as the number of cards submitted by the right-giving player who generated the charge increases. That is, if the scene shown in FIG. 11 is determined as a right-giving player in response to the player submitting three “8” cards, the right-giving player in response to submitting one “8”. Since the rate of increase in the rate can be made higher than that determined at the time, the high-risk and high-return game development can be realized. In this example, the charge generation condition is a condition when the pointer 122 determines that the pointer 122 stops at the “13” cell or passes the “13” cell, but the charge generation condition is the same condition. Is not limited, and any condition may be set as long as it is a charge generation condition using game board information. For example, a configuration may be adopted in which a number of cells is changed or a plurality of cells satisfying a plurality of charge generation conditions are provided.

  When the rate information is updated due to the occurrence of the charge, the control unit 11 determines that the changed specific cell 121 (the cell indicated by the moved pointer 122 in FIG. 11) is a break point (that is, the cell on which a coin is placed). It is determined whether or not (step S209).

  Here, the control unit 11 refers to the game board information storage unit 12c (see FIG. 4), and when the number of coins of the cell whose specific cell flag is set to “1” is “1” or more, the specific cell 121 is displayed. Is determined to be a breakpoint (Y in step S209), the right-giving player is determined as a winner (step S210).

  When the winner is determined, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the winner has selected “break” (step S211). In this example, the control unit 11 displays a victory selection screen for allowing the winner to select whether or not to finish a game by selecting a victory (that is, whether or not to “break”). (Not shown) and accepts a selection from the winner.

  If it is determined that the winner has selected “break” (Y in step S211), the control unit 11 performs a process of paying out coins (step S212). In this example, the control unit 11 determines the number of winning coins to be awarded to the winner and the number of loser coins to be paid by other players in accordance with a predetermined rule related to the coins and rates placed at the break points. A process of calculating the number of coins and adjusting the coins is executed.

  If the process which settles a coin is performed, the control part 11 will transfer to the process of step S104 in a game process (refer FIG. 7). In this case, the control unit 11 displays a display screen for accepting a selection operation as to whether or not to end the game process, and accepts a selection from each player (in this example, only the player A) (step S104). ). Here, when the selection to end the game is accepted (Y in step S104), the control unit 11 ends the game process. On the other hand, when the selection to continue the game is received (N in step S104), the control unit 11 collects all the cards, shuffles them, and then proceeds to the process of step S102 in the game process (that is, again). Execute the process of distributing the card.)

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the winner does not select “break” (N in step S211), or in the process of step S209 in the game execution process, the number of coins of the cell whose specific cell flag is set to “1” is “ If it is determined that the specific cell 121 is not a break point by being “0” (N in step S209), the control unit 11 sets a break point (step S213).

  Here, the setting of the break point will be described. The break point is a square where coins are arranged, and is a place for determining a winner. That is, when a square in which coins are arranged becomes a specific square 121, a square that becomes a square where a winner is determined (hereinafter referred to as a “winner-decided square”) is a break point.

  FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a breakpoint setting screen that is the game screen 101 when a breakpoint is set. As shown in FIG. 12, according to the progress of the game, the winner determination cell on the game board 120 displayed on the game screen 101 (in FIG. 12, “5”, “7”, “10”, “12 The coin images 501 to 504 for notifying the player that the cell is a winner-decided cell are displayed in the cell to be set to “2”.

  Further, in this example, the control unit 11 places coins corresponding to the number of cards selected by each player in a square indicating the same number as the selected number. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, when three “12” cards are selected at a time, the control unit 11 displays three cards corresponding to the square corresponding to the number “12” as shown in FIG. The coin image 501 is displayed. In this case, the control unit 11 updates the game board information so that the number of coins corresponding to the square of “12” becomes “3”.

  In this example, there are three timings when the control unit 11 sets a breakpoint. One is the timing when the control unit 11 determines that the specific cell 121 is not a breakpoint (N in Step 209). The other is the timing when the control unit 11 determines that there are a plurality of players who have submitted the strongest cards and updates the rate information (Y in step S202, step S203). The last is the timing when the control unit 11 accepts the continuous selection without finishing the game from the winner (N in step S211). That is, in this example, the break point is created when the game process does not end and when a new game execution process is started. With such a configuration, as the unit game continues, the number of break points increases, the number of coins arranged in the specific cell 121 increases, and the point fluctuation range due to point adjustment increases. Therefore, it is possible to provide a video game that can give importance to the strategy at the end of the game.

  When the break point is set or when it is determined that the winner does not select “break” (N in step S211), the control unit 11 refers to the card usage status information and the distribution card information (FIG. 2, FIG. 2). 3), the number of cards necessary for replenishing cards to each player (hereinafter referred to as “replenished card number”) and the remaining number of unused cards (hereinafter referred to as “unused card number”) are compared and replenished. It is determined whether or not the number of cards is smaller than the number of unused cards (step S214). If it is determined that the number of replenished cards is less than the number of unused cards (Y in step S214), the control unit 11 distributes the cards so that each player has five cards (step S215). The process proceeds to step S201.

  On the other hand, when determining that the number of replenishment cards is not smaller than the number of unused cards (N in step S214), the control unit 11 ends the game execution process and proceeds to the process of step S104 in the game process (see FIG. 7). ). In this case, the control unit 11 displays a display screen for accepting a selection operation as to whether or not to end the game process, and accepts a selection from each player (step S104). Here, when the selection to end the game is accepted (Y in step S104), the control unit 11 ends the game process. On the other hand, when the selection to continue the game is accepted (N in step S104), the control unit 11 collects all the cards, shuffles them, and sets the number of coins in a state where the game process is not executed. The process proceeds to step S102 (that is, the process of distributing the card is executed again).

  In addition, referring to the card usage status information and the distribution card information, the number of cards to be replenished by each player is compared with the remaining number of unused cards. When the number is larger (N in step S214), the control unit 11 does not return the number of coins of each player to the state in which the game process is not executed, but instead uses the coins arranged at the break points as the next unit. It is good also as a structure which performs the process (stock process) carried over to a game. If such stock processing is provided, it becomes possible to adopt a strategy of increasing the number of points that can be acquired in the next game, and a video game with more strategic properties can be provided.

  In this example, after the selection of a card by each player (step S201), until each player's card is replenished (step S215), until the coin is settled (step S212), or the number of replenished cards is Until it is determined that the number is less than the number of unused cards (N in step S214), it is referred to as “unit game” or “turn”.

  As described above, in the embodiment described above, a game screen is displayed on the display screen of the display device, and a plurality of cards (for example, one of a plurality of predetermined numbers assigned to each card (for example, The video game processing apparatus 100 that controls the progress of the video game using the playing card) has a card usage status information storage unit 12a for storing card usage status information indicating usage status of a plurality of cards in the video game, and the video game. A distribution card information storage unit 12b for storing distribution card information indicating information related to cards distributed to a plurality of participating players A, B, C, and D, and a plurality of cells corresponding to a plurality of numbers are predetermined. Information relating to the game board 120 arranged in order, the game board information including the square information concerning each of the plurality of squares is stored. And a card board information storage unit 12c. When a unit game (for example, a card game) is started, a predetermined number of cards possessed by each player (refer to the card usage status information and the distribution card information). For example, five cards are distributed, and a selection card selected by each player from a predetermined number of cards distributed to each player is received, and a selection card (for example, selected card display) of each received player is received. A rule indicated by a determination rule (for example, determination rule information stored in the determination rule information storage unit 12d) with reference to a number assigned to a card displayed in the area 201 (see FIG. 9). 5)), a specific symbol indicating a specific square set to any one of a plurality of squares in the game board 120 indicated by the game board information. The right granting player who is the player who gives the right to change 121 is determined, the specific cell 121 is changed according to the number assigned to the selected card of the determined player, and the changed specific cell is determined to be the winner. It is determined whether or not it is a winner-determined cell (for example, a cell on which a coin is placed. Breakpoint). The unit corresponding to the number is set as a winner-decided cell and the unit game is terminated, and when it is determined that it is a winner-decided cell, the right-giving player is determined as the winner and the unit game is terminated. As a result, it is possible to provide a video game that can be deployed strategically and achieve early settlement. I can do it.

  In other words, since the conditions for determining the outcome of the game (specifically, the position of the winner determination cell) vary according to the progress of the game, the game development can be given a new strategy. . In addition, since the player can select a card in consideration of the setting of the winner determination cell, it is possible to provide a possibility that an early settlement can be realized.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the video game processing apparatus 100 determines all the cells that are not set as the winner determination cell among the cells corresponding to the numbers assigned to the selection cards of the players, as the winner determination cell. (For example, the control unit 11 arranges coins corresponding to the number of cards selected by each player in a square indicating the same number as the selected number.) As the game progresses, Since the number of winners is increased, it is possible to prevent the game from becoming longer. Further, by providing a merit (that is, an effect obtained by the player who has stopped the guideline on the winner determination cell not selecting victory) (for example, an increase in the rate), the game is settled. It can be avoided that the preference of the game is lowered by being applied too early.

  In the above-described embodiment, the video game processing device 100 gives a predetermined winner point (for example, a winner coin awarded by coin settlement) to a player determined as a winner. Victory setting is performed by adding predetermined selection card points (for example, coins; see FIG. 12) set in squares corresponding to numbers assigned to the player's selection cards in accordance with the number of selection cards. The selected card point of the square set as the square is increased, and the square not set as the winner-decided square is set as the winner-decided square, and it is set as the square determined to be the winner-decided square. Determine the number of winner points according to the number of selected card points (for example, the number of coins) (for example, settle the coins) ), Because it is configured to give the determined number of victor points, the longer the game, the more benefits you can gain when you become a winner. You will be able to improve your strategy.

  In the embodiment described above, the game board 120 has a plurality of squares corresponding to a plurality of numbers (for example, 13 numbers from “1” to “13”) in a predetermined order on the circumference ( For example, the numbers are incremented by one in the clockwise direction, and the right side of “13” is arranged in the order of “1” (see FIG. 6). The video game processing apparatus 100 updates the game board information and rotates the pointer 122 on the game board 120 displayed on the game screen 101 to display a square indicated by the pointer 122. Since the specific square is changed by performing the pointer rotation effect with the square moved by the number assigned to the selected card of the right granting player, the card game using the playing cards is changed. As a no, so it is possible to provide a highly strategic video game player.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the video game processing apparatus 100 updates the game board information, and at the same time or near the square set as the winner determination square in the game board 120 displayed on the game screen 101. Since a predetermined item (for example, coin images 501 to 504, see FIG. 12) indicating that it is a winner-decided cell is displayed, the player can easily recognize a cell for becoming a winner. become able to.

  In the above-described embodiment, the video game processing apparatus 100 executes the various processes described above according to a control program stored in a storage device included in the video game processing apparatus 100.

  According to the present invention, it is useful for providing a video game capable of developing a game substantially and realizing early settlement.
