摘要

A video game machine runs a game on a monitor display screen by enabling a user to control the motion of at least one character assigned to one of a plurality of positions that require the character to play a role peculiar to the position. The game machine has the following component units: an instruction operating unit for enabling the character to be assigned to a selected position from among the plurality of positions; a parameter storage unit for storing parameter values peculiar to the character, for a plurality of parameter items that are related to the nature of the game; a weight storage unit for storing weight values given to the parameter items for each of the plurality of positions, the weight values indicating the degree of significance of each parameter item in view of the role required by each of the plurality of positions; a suitability value calculating unit operative in response to the assignment of the character to the selected position by the instruction operating unit, for calculating a suitability value indicative of a degree of suitability of the character to the selected position, in terms of a weight average determined through multiplying the parameter values by the weight values of the corresponding parameter items; and an informing unit for informing the user of the calculated suitability value.
