Abstract
There are provided a squeeze image generating portion generating a squeeze image showing a squeeze motion of a card being turned over from an end, from a back surface to a front surface; and a game controlling portion controlling progress of a card game on the basis of a score recorded on a front surface of the card. By discontinuing the squeeze motion at branching timings at which a score predicted by a part of one or more suits appearing according to progress of the squeeze motion changes, it becomes possible to discontinue the squeeze motion at an appropriate timing according to a progress state of the card game, and it is possible to provide a realistic game environment close to a real card game and save time taken for useless squeeze motions.
Claims7
A card game apparatus comprising:
- a squeeze image generating portion generating a squeeze image showing a squeeze motion of a card being turned over from an end, from a back surface to a front surface;
- and
- a game controlling portion controlling progress of a card game;
- wherein
- the squeeze motion is discontinued at a branching timing at which a score predicted by a part of one or more suits appearing with the progress of the squeeze motion changes.
A game image generating method for causing a computer capable of generating an image to execute, the method comprising the steps of:
- generating a squeeze image showing a squeeze motion of a card being turned over from an end, from a back surface to a front surface;
- controlling progress of a card game;
- and
- discontinuing the squeeze motion at a branching timing at which a score predicted by a part of one or more suits appearing with the progress of the squeeze motion changes.
