Abstract

A game processing system that controls a display to display a plurality of graphic forms each indicating an identifier; identifies a trajectory of a continuously drawn input selecting a plurality of the graphic forms; identifies the identifiers of the graphic forms corresponding to the input trajectory; identifies at least a first command based on an arrangement of the identifiers when detecting an end of the input; and controls a game operation of attacking an opponent based on the command.

Claims (47)

1. A system for providing a game, comprising:

a user interface including a touch panel display; and

circuitry configured to:

control the touch panel display to display a plurality of graphic forms, each graphic form indicating one of a plurality of identifiers;

identify a trajectory continuously drawn on the touch panel display as input to select one or more first graphic forms of the plurality of the graphic forms;

identify identifiers of the selected one or more first graphic forms;

identify an identifier of a second graphic form neighboring the end of the trajectory before the input ends;

responsive to selection of the second graphic form completing a command, control the touch panel display to display a hint;

responsive to detecting an end of the input, identify at least a first command based on an arrangement of the identifiers of the one or more first graphic forms and the identifier of the second graphic form; and

control a game operation of attacking an opponent based on the first command.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:

responsive to a plurality of commands being identified based on the arrangement of the identifiers of the one or more first graphic forms and the identifier of the second graphic form, perform continuous attacks based on the plurality of commands.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:

control the touch panel display to display the selected one or more first graphic forms to be discriminable from others of the plurality of graphic forms before the input ends.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:

control the touch panel display to change the identifiers of the selected one or more first graphic forms.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein a first type of identifier of the plurality of identifiers corresponds a commend to execute an attack.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:

responsive to responsive to detecting an end of the input and the graphic forms selected by the input including a hidden command graphic form corresponding to a hidden command, execute the hidden command.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:

identify a graphic form neighboring the graphic forms selected by the input as a hint display graphic form:

calculate positional relationship information of the hint display graphic form in relation to the hidden command graphic form; and

control the touch panel display to display information corresponding to the positional relationship information on the hint display graphic form.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:

delete graphic forms that have been used for an attack and deploying new graphic forms before the input ends; and

re-calculate positional relationship information of the hint display graphic form in relation to the hidden command graphic form.

9. The system of claim 6 , wherein the information corresponding to the positional relationship information is a number of the hidden command graphic forms neighboring the hint display graphic form.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:

responsive to detecting an operation for selecting a graphic form, control the touch panel display to change the identifier of the selected graphic form.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:

set unfavorable conditions for a match with the opponent after the identifier of the selected graphic form is changed.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium including computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a system comprising circuitry and a user interface including a touch panel display, cause the system to perform a method comprising:

controlling the touch panel display to display a plurality of graphic forms, each graphic form indicating one of a plurality of identifiers;

identifying a trajectory continuously drawn on the touch panel display as input to select one or more first graphic forms of the plurality of the graphic forms;

identifying identifiers of the selected one or more first graphic forms;

identifying an identifier of a second graphic form neighboring an end of the trajectory before the input ends;

responsive to selection of the second graphic form completing a command, controlling the touch panel display to display a hint;

responsive to detecting an end of the input, identifying at least a first command based on an arrangement of the identifiers of the one or more first graphic forms and the identifier of the second graphic form; and

controlling a game operation of attacking an opponent based on the first command.

13. A game processing method performed by a system comprising circuitry and a user interface including a touch panel display, the method comprising:

controlling, by the circuitry, the touch panel display to display a plurality of graphic forms, each graphic form indicating one of a plurality of identifiers;

identifying, by the circuitry, a trajectory continuously drawn on the touch panel display as input to select one or more first graphic forms of the plurality of the graphic forms;

identifying, by the circuitry, identifiers of the selected one or more first graphic forms;

identifying, by the circuitry, an identifier of a second graphic form neighboring the end of the trajectory before the input ends;

responsive to selection of the second graphic form completing a command, controlling, by the circuitry, the touch panel display to display a hint;

responsive to detecting an end of the input, identifying, by the circuitry, at least a first command based on an arrangement of the identifiers of the one or more first graphic forms and the identifier of the second graphic form; and

controlling, by the circuitry, a game operation of attacking an opponent based on the first command.
