Abstract

A game providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes one or more processors capable of executing a game program. In one embodiment, the game program includes a conversion rate presentation module configured to present a conversion rate between a first basic point and a first varying point to a player. When a first basic object associated with the first basic point is selected, an acquired point of the player is determined on the basis of the first basic point. When a first varying object associated with the first varying point is selected, the acquired point is determined on the basis of the first varying point.

a terminal device configured to be communicatively coupled to a server, the terminal device and the server each comprising hardware that interact with each other to be configured to:

place a first basic object associated with a first basic point or a first varying object associated with a first varying point in each of multiple display areas of the terminal device, the multiple display areas contained in a game field on a display of the terminal device, in a manner such that a player can provide an input to the terminal device to select each of the objects;

detect, by the terminal device, a selection operation of the player using the terminal device, by the player selecting at least one of the first basic objects placed in the display areas of the terminal or at least one of the first varying objects placed in the display areas at each of multiple turns;

generate as an output a conversion rate between the first basic points and the first varying points at each turn and at least a turn next to the turn as an output, and present the output to the player via the display of the terminal device at each of the multiple turns; and

determine acquired points to be acquired by the player at each turn on the basis of the first basic point when the first basic object is selected by the selection operation and/or the first varying point when the first varying object is selected by the player by providing an input to an interface of the terminal device in the selection operation, wherein

the first varying point at each of the multiple turns is calculated on the basis of the first basic point and the conversion rate at the turn.

2. The game providing system according to claim 1 , wherein the hardware that interact with each other are configured to update the conversion rates.

3. The game providing system according to claim 1 , wherein when a predetermined number or more first basic objects are successively selected by the player, the hardware that interact with each other generate an output to the terminal device that comprises a second basic object associated with a second basic point larger than the first basic point in at least one of display areas, as output on the terminal device of the player, in which the first basic objects are placed.

4. The game providing system according to claim 3 , wherein when a predetermined number or more first varying objects are successively selected by the player, the hardware that interact with each other are configured to generate an output comprising a second varying object associated with a second varying point to the display of the terminal device for at least one of display areas of the display, in which the first varying objects are placed, the second varying point being defined on the basis of the first basic point and the conversion rate.

5. The game providing system according to claim 4 , wherein when the second varying object is selected by the selection operation at each of the turns, the hardware that interact with each other are configured to determine the acquired points to be acquired by the player on the basis of the second varying point.

6. The game providing system according to claim 4 , wherein hardware that interact with each other are configured to detect selection operation of selecting the first varying object and the second varying object.

7. The game providing system according to claim 6 , wherein when the first basic object and the second basic object are selected by the selection operation at each of the turns, the hardware that interact with each other are configured to determine the acquired points to be acquired by the player on the basis of the first basic point and the second basic point.

8. The game providing system according to claim 7 , wherein the hardware that interact with each other are configured to determine the acquired point further on the basis of the number of the first basic objects and the number of second basic objects selected by the selection operation at each of the turns.

9. The game providing system according to claim 6 , wherein when the first varying object and the second varying object are selected by the selection operation at each of the turns, the hardware that interact with each other are configured to determine the acquired point to be acquired by the player on the basis of the first varying point and the second varying point.

10. The game providing system according to claim 8 , wherein the hardware that interact with each other are configured to determine the acquired point further on the basis of the number of the first varying objects and the number of second varying objects selected by the selection operation at each of the turns.

11. The game providing system according to claim 3 , wherein when the second basic object is selected by the selection operation at each of the turns, the hardware that interact with each other are configured to determine the acquired points to be acquired by the player on the basis of the second basic point.

12. The game providing system according to claim 3 , wherein the hardware that interact with each other are configured to detect selection operation of selecting the first basic object and the second basic object.

13. The game providing system according to claim 1 , wherein the hardware that interact with each other are configured to display the conversion rates in the same screen as the game field, which is generated as an output to the display of the terminal device.

14. The game providing system according to claim 1 , wherein the hardware that interact with each other are configured to add up acquired points at the respective turns to calculate a total acquires point.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a game program with instructions comprising:

placing a first basic object associated with a first basic point or a first varying object associated with a first varying point in each of multiple display areas of the terminal device, the multiple display areas contained in a game field on a display of the terminal device, in a manner such that a player can provide an input to the terminal device to select each of the objects;

detecting, by the terminal device, a selection operation of the player using the terminal device, by the player selecting at least one of the first basic objects placed in the display areas of the terminal or at least one of the first varying objects placed in the display areas at each of multiple turns;

generating as an output a conversion rate between the first basic points and the first varying points at each turn and at least a turn next to the turn as an output, and presenting the output to the player via the display of the terminal device at each of the multiple turns; and

determining acquired points to be acquired by the player at each turn on the basis of the first basic point when the first basic object is selected by the player by providing an input to an interface of the terminal device in the selection operation and/or the first varying point when the first varying object is selected by the selection operation, wherein

the first varying point at each of the multiple turns is calculated on the basis of the first basic point and the conversion rate at the turn.

16. A game providing method to be executed by terminal device, the method comprising:

placing a first basic object associated with a first basic point or a first varying object associated with a first varying point in each of multiple display areas of the terminal device, the multiple display areas contained in a game field on a display of the terminal device, in a manner such that a player can provide an input to the terminal device to select each of the objects;
