Game machine, and control method and storage medium storing computer program used therefor

摘要

Improved is the control of travel speed of operation indication marker in the case that the case that the delay in detection of operation time occurs. The game machine makes the object (60) pump between the reference portions (55A, 55B) corresponding to the operation portions of online opponent players, and makes the player of the own game machine perform the operation portion at the time when the object (60) reaches the reference portion (55A). The game machine determines whether the detection delay of operation time occurs. When the delay occurs, the game machine estimates as the original distance, the distance from the object (60) to the next arrival position (R1b) assuming that the delay did not occur (the distance on the path R2-CR1b), and the display of the object (60) is corrected so that the difference between the original distance estimated and the actual distance from the object (60) to the next arrival position (the distance on the path A, C, R1b) is eliminated earlier than the operation time corresponding to the next arrival position (R1b).

主权项

1. A game machine being applied to a game system progressing a game between a plurality of terminals connected through a communication line, and functioning as one of the plurality of terminals, the game machine including:
an input device including at least one operation portion; a display device for displaying a game screen; a sequence data storage unit for storing sequence data that describes operation time of the operation portion of an own game machine during the game and operation time of the operation portion of another game machine functioning as another terminal of the game system; a game region presenting unit adapted and configured to display a game region, in which a reference portion corresponding to the operation portion of the own game machine and a reference portion corresponding to the operation portion of the another game machine are disposed to be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance, on the game screen; an own game machine operation detecting unit adapted and configured to detect an actual operation time to the operation portion of the own game machine and generate operation information having the actual operation time; an operation information transmitting unit adapted and configured to transmit the operation information generated by the own game machine operation detecting unit to the another game machine; an another game machine operation detecting unit adapted and configured to detect an actual operation time to the operation portion of the another game machine based on the operation information transmitted from an operation information transmitting unit of the another game machine; and a marker display control unit adapted and configured to move an operation indication marker indicating the operation time within the game region such that the operation indication marker arrives at the reference portion corresponding to the operation portion of the own game machine at the operation time of the operation portion of the own game machine described in the sequence data and arrives at the reference portion of the another game machine at the operation time of the operation portion of the another game machine, and plus, a travel path of the operation indication marker changes into a travel path headed to a next reference portion in response to the detection of the actual operation time by the own game machine operation detecting unit and the another game machine operation detecting unit, wherein the marker display control unit includes: a delay determining unit adapted and configured to determine whether or not a delay occurs in a moment when the actual operation time is detected by the another game machine operation detecting unit with respect to the actual operation time recorded in the operation information; and a correction unit adapted and configured to estimate a distance from the operation indication marker to the next reference portion as an original distance on the assumption that the delay has not occurred, when occurrence of the delay is determined, and correct display of the operation indication marker such that a difference between the original distance estimated and an actual distance from the operation indication marker to the next reference portion is eliminated earlier than the operation time on the sequence data corresponding to the next reference portion.
