Abstract

Game software having a routine for displaying two or more cards selectable by a player, a routine for enlarging the selected card and displaying the enlarged card, a routine for searching and judging two or more commands which are defined on the selected card, and for producing an object attaching a behavior type display corresponding to two or more commands and for displaying a command selection image, a routine for detecting selection of which behavior type display, of the command selection image corresponding to the selected card has been determined, and a routine for executing only commands of the two or more commands corresponding to the behavior type displays the selection of which has been determined in a game.

Claims

1. Game software being operable to cause a computer to execute a routine for proceeding with a game by causing a player to select a hand which is displayed on a monitor through input means so as to execute a command which is defined on said hand, comprising:

said game software including a program causing said computer to execute the following routines;

a card display routine, for displaying two or more cards selectable by said player on said monitor in a first size;

an enlargement display routine, for enlarging said card selected by said player in a second size which is larger than said first size and for displaying said enlarged card;

a command selection image producing routine, for searching and judging two or more commands which are defined on said selected card, and for producing a behavior type selection object attaching behavior type displays corresponding to said two or more commands defined, and for producing a command selection image from said behavior type selection object, and for displaying said command selection image together with said selected card;

a determined selection judging routine, for detecting selection of which behavior type display of said command selection image corresponding to said selected card has been determined by said player;

and a command execution routine, for executing only command which corresponds to said behavior type display the selection of which has determined by said player, of said two or more commands which is defined on said selected card during said game.

2. The game software according to claim 1, wherein said game software has said program for further causing said computer to execute a command table producing routine, for storing a result of determined selection of said behavior type display concerning said two or more cards which was detected by said determined selection judging routine in a memory, and for producing a command table, and said command execution routine executes corresponding commands in order on the basis of said result of determined selection concerning said two or more cards which are stored in said command table.

3. Game machine having means for proceeding with a game by causing a player to select a hand which is displayed on a monitor through input means so as to execute a command which is defined on said hand, comprising:

card display means, for displaying two or more cards selectable by said player on said monitor in a first size;

enlargement display means, for enlarging said card selected by said player in a second size which is larger than said first size and for displaying said enlarged card;

command selection image producing means, for searching and judging two or more commands which are defined on said selected card, and for producing a behavior type selection object attaching behavior type displays corresponding to said two or more commands defined, and for producing a command selection image from said behavior type selection object, and for displaying said command selection image together with said selected card;

determined selection judging means, for detecting selection of which behavior type display of said command selection image corresponding to said selected card has been determined by said player; and

command execution means, for executing only command which corresponds to said behavior type display the selection of which has determined by said player, of said two or more commands which is defined on said selected card during said game.

4. Game machine having a unit for proceeding with a game by causing a player to select a hand which is displayed on a monitor through an input unit so as to execute a command which is defined on said hand, comprising:

a card display unit, for displaying two or more cards selectable by said player on said monitor in a first size;

an enlargement display unit, for enlarging said card selected by said player in a second size which is larger than said first size and for displaying said enlarged card;

a command selection image producing unit, for searching and judging two or more commands which are defined on said selected card, and for producing a behavior type selection object attaching behavior type displays corresponding to said two or more commands defined, and for producing a command selection image from said behavior type selection object, and for displaying said command selection image together with said selected card;

a determined selection judging unit, for detecting selection of which behavior type display of said command selection image corresponding to said selected card has been determined by said player; and

5. A command execution unit, for executing only command which corresponds to said behavior type display the selection of which has determined by said player, of said two or more commands which is defined on said selected card during said game.
