Game device which recognizes and replaces a substitution object participating in a competition game in a virtual space

摘要

A game device including: a substituted-for character recognizing unit which recognizes a character to become a substitution object by bringing a finger 107 into contact with the character; a substituted-for character determination unit which determines the recognized character to be a substituted-for character by causing the recognized character to be moved to a substituted-for character determination region (an edge of a monitor 3a); and a candidate character list display unit which displays a candidate character list 109 on an image display unit based on the determination of the substituted-for character, wherein after determining a character who enters the game by bringing the finger 107 into contact with a character on the candidate list, the entering character is displayed on the image display unit in place of the substituted-for character.

主权项

1. A game device which conducts a competition game in a virtual space by bringing indicating means into contact with a contact input-type image display unit, the game device comprising:
a touch input detection circuit which detects contact of the indicating means with the image display unit; a substituted-for character recognizing unit which recognizes a single character among a plurality of characters participating in the competition dame and displayed on the image display unit as a substitution object, when the touch input detection circuit detects contact of the indicating means with the single character; a substituted-for character determination unit which determines the character recognized by the substituted-for character recognizing unit to be a substituted-for character, when the touch input detection circuit detects a movement of the character recognized by the substituted-for character recognizing unit to a substituted-for character determination region displayed on the image display unit while maintaining the contact between the indicating means and the character recognized by the substituted-for character recognizing unit; a candidate character storage unit which stores data of candidate characters who enter the game in place of the substituted-for character in advance; a candidate character list display unit which (i) generates a list of candidate characters who enter the game in place of the substituted-for character based on the data of candidate characters stored in the candidate character storage unit, and (ii) displays the candidate list on the image display unit, when the substituted-for character determination unit determines the substituted-for character; an entering character determination unit which determines a single character on the candidate list as an entering character who enters the game in place of the substituted-for character, when the touch input detection circuit detects the contact of the indicating means with the single character on the candidate list; and a character substitution display unit which displays, on the image display unit, the entering character determined by the entering character determination unit in place of the substituted-for character, wherein when the character is recognized as the substitution object by the substituted-for character recognizing unit and is moved to the substituted-for character determination region displayed on the image display unit, the character substitution display unit displays an afterimage of the character recognized as the substitution object at a position prior to the movement, and when the entering character is determined by the entering character determination unit, the character substitution display unit erases the afterimage of the character and displays the entering character at the position prior to the movement.
