DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0022] With regard to the detailed description and technical aspects of the invention, reference is now made to the following descriptions taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
[0023] Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the invention is a shooting game system provided for at least one player to play a shooting game and generate a game process. The shooting game includes at least one shooting target 50 and a given value as a rate of return to player (RTP), each shooting target 50 having an odds multiple. During the game, the at least one shooting target 50 is randomly displayed on a game picture 21; after each player pays a wager score, an attack bullet 22 is generated on the game picture 21 to shoot the at least one shooting target 50 displayed on the game picture 21; after the attack bullet 22 hits any one of the at least one shooting target 50, the shooting game system determines whether to hit down the shooting target 50 according to a first probability; and after the shooting target 50 is determined to be hit down, the player obtains a score according to the odds multiple and the wager score correspondingly. The product of the odds multiple of the shooting target 50 and the first probability corresponding to the shooting target 50 is equal to the given value. In an embodiment, the shooting game system comprises a game processing element 10, a display screen 20, at least one personal operation element 30, and at least one shooting element 40. The game processing element 10 controls the operation of the shooting game, and generates the game picture 21 according to the game process. The display screen 20 is connected with the game processing element 10 to present the game picture 21. Further, the at least one personal operation element 30 is connected with the game processing element 10, and is respectively provided for the at least one player to operate to generate an operation instruction to change the game process.
[0024] As shown in FIG. 2, each personal operation element 30 is operated by a player, and the personal operation element 30 comprises a directional control element 31 and an input interface 32. The input interface 32 comprises a wager score key 321 operated by the player to change the wager score, and a function key 322 acts as a shooting switch corresponding to the shooting element 40 for operation by the player to control the shooting element 40 to fire the attack bullet 22 and attack the at least one shooting target 50. In an embodiment, the wager score key 321 is a touch screen to be used as a personal screen for the player. In an embodiment, the directional control element 31 is a joystick for the player to rotate a shooting direction of the shooting element 40 by swinging the joystick.
[0025] Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, the operation instruction comprises a shooting command The at least one shooting element 40 is connected with the game processing element 10, and respectively corresponds to the at least one personal operation element 30. The at least one shooting element 40 receives the shooting command corresponding to the at least one personal operation element 30, so that the shooting element 40 fires the attack bullet 22. Further, the attack bullet 22 on the game picture 21 flies in a straight line, and then the attack bullet 22 is reflected to continue fling in a straight line after colliding with a boundary 211 of the game picture 21.
[0026] Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B, according to a first embodiment of the invention, the at least one shooting target 50 comprises at least one special target 51A, each of which is associated with a judgment condition. The game processing element 10 determines based on the judgment condition when the special target 51A appears on the game picture 21. The game processing element 10 screens out the at least one shooting target 50, which meets the judgment condition, from the game picture 21 in real time; and an real-time total multiplier is generated by calculating the sum of all odds multiples of each shooting target 50, which meet the judgment condition. Thereby, the odds multiple of the special target 51A at least comprise the real-time total multiplier. For example, in the first embodiment, the odds multiple of the special target 51A is equal to the real-time total multiplier; alternatively, as the second and third embodiments described below, the odds multiple of the special target 51B, 51C (as shown in FIG. 6A and FIG. 7A) is the sum of the value of the real-time total multiplier with a basic multiple, wherein the basic multiple has different values along with the special target 51B, 51C.
[0027] In the first embodiment, if the special target 51A is hit by the attack bullet 22, the game processing element 10 determines whether the special target 51A is hit down according to a second probability, wherein the product of the second probability and the odds multiple of the special target 51A is equal to the given value. Meanwhile, if the special target 51A is hit down upon determination, the game processing element 10 generates a game effect corresponding to the special target 51A and a game special effect corresponding to the game effect, and the game picture 21 displays the game special effect. In the embodiment, the game effect is hitting down the shooting target 50 meeting the judgment condition together; and the game special effect is to display an animation, which is a process in which the shooting target 50 meeting the judgment condition is hit down together.
[0028] In this embodiment, the judgment condition is that the at least one shooting target 50 does not belong to the special target 51A (including the special target 51B, 51C shown in FIG. 6A and FIG. 7A) and appears on the game picture 21. Namely, as long as the at least one shooting target 50 does not belong to the special target 51A, 51B, 51C and appears on the game picture 21, the at least one shooting target 50 meets the judgment condition.
[0029] As shown in FIG. 5A, in one embodiment, there are ten smaller shooting targets 50 and three larger shooting targets 50 on the game picture 21 in real time. For convenience of explanation, the odds multiple of each of ten smaller shooting targets 50 is regarded as five times, and the odds multiple of each of three larger shooting targets 50 is regarded as ten times. Thus, the value of the real-time total multiplier is 5*10+10*3=80. In this embodiment, the odds multiple of the special target 51A is equivalent to the real-time total multiplier; that is the odds multiple of the special target 51A is 80. Further, assuming that the given value (i.e., the rate of return to player (RTP)) is 90%, namely, the second probability*80=90%. Thus, the second probability is extrapolated to 1.125%. That is, when the special target 51A is hit, the special target 51A is determined to be hit down with a probability of 1.125%. In other words, the game effect of the special target 51A is to hit down all the shooting targets 50 on the game picture 21, with the value of the real-time total multiplier obtained by the player is 80.
[0030] As further shown in FIG. 5B, in the same embodiment, if ten smaller shooting targets 50 and one larger shooting target 50 only remain on the game picture 21 in real time, the real-time total multiplier now is 5*10+10*1=60. Similarly, it can be inferred that the second probability is 1.5% from the second probability*60=90%. That is, when the special target 51A is hit, the special target 51A is determined to be hit down with a probability of 1.5%, so that the value of the real-time total multiplier obtained by the player is pb 60.
[0031] Comparing FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B with the prior art, it can be seen that under the same situation that hitting the special target 51A down, the player of the prior art will get the same odds multiple and the same game effect. However, obviously, the player of the invention will obtain different odds multiples (like the real-time total multiplier) and different game special effects based on different numbers of the at least one shooting target 50 displayed on the game picture 21 in real time of FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B. Thus, the invention effectively solves the problem that the conventional game special effects cannot be instantly reflected on the game picture. In turn, it causes problems that the game result are not compatible with game pictures displayed on the display screen.
[0032] In contrast with the prior art, the present invention provides the at least one shooting target 50 on the game picture 21 in real time to proceed with determination according to the judgment condition of the special target 51A. That is, the at least one shooting target 50 meeting the judgment condition is realistically hit down on the game picture 21, and the player can obtain the sum of the odds multiples of the at least one shooting target 50 which meets the judgment condition, so as to increase the authenticity and playability of the game. In addition, by changing the second probability, the rate of return to player (RTP) is kept constant to avoid the problem of business benefit loss.
[0033] Referring to FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B, a second embodiment of the invention is shown. Compared with the first embodiment, the special target 51B is displayed on the game picture 21, and the judgment condition of the special target 51B is that the at least one shooting target 50 does not belong to the special target 51B (including the special target 51A, 51C shown in FIG. 5A and FIG. 7A) and is within a specified distance from the special target 51B. The odds multiple is lower than a specified value. Here, the specified distance is shown as a dotted line range 52 in FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B, and the specified value is specified as 9.
[0034] As the game picture 21 shown in FIG. 6A in real time, the at least one shooting target 50 within the specified distance has five smaller shooting targets 50 and one larger shooting target 50 in total. In one embodiment, the odds multiple of the special target 51B is the sum of the real-time total multiplier and a basic multiple. For convenience of explanation, in this embodiment, the basic multiple is specified as 5, the odds multiple of each of five smaller shooting targets 50 is regarded as five times, and the odds multiple of the larger shooting target 50 is regarded as ten times. Under this condition, the odds multiple of the larger shooting target 50 exceeds the specified value, so the judgment condition is not met, and therefore the value of the real-time total multiplier is 5*5+5=30. That is, the second probability*30 =90%, and thus the second probability is extrapolated to 3%. That is, when the special target 51B is hit, the special target 51B is determined to be hit down with a probability of 3%, so that the value of the real-time total multiplier obtained by the player is 30.
[0035] As the game picture 21 further shown in FIG. 6B in real time, at different points in time, the at least one shooting target 50 within 25 the specified distance has a total of three smaller shooting targets 50. Accordingly, the real-time total multiplier is 3*5+5=20, so that the second probability*20 =90%, and thus the second probability is extrapolated to 4.5%. That is, when the special target 51B is hit, the special target 51B is determined to be hit down with a probability of 4.5%, and the value of the real-time total multiplier that the player obtained is 20.
[0036] A brief description of the second embodiment regarding the game effect and the game special effect is as follows. The game effect is that the at least one shooting target 50 meeting the judgment condition will be hit down, and the game special effect allows the player to understand the game effect in an animated manner. In this embodiment as an example, the judgment condition has two parameters, i.e. the specified distance and the specified value. The appearance of the special target 51B is shown as a bomb, an effective killing distance of the bomb is regarded as the specified distance, and an effective killing power of the bomb determines the specified value. If the attack bullet 22 hits down the special target 51B, the game effect is the bomb explosion to hit down the at least one shooting target 50 within the effective killing distance, and the number of the at least one shooting target 50 to be hit down is lower than the specified value, so that the game special effect is an animation of the process of the bomb explosion and hitting down the at least one shooting target 50.
[0037] Referring to FIG. 7, for a third embodiment of the invention, the judgment condition is that the at least one shooting target 50 does not belong to the special target 51C (including the special target 51A, 51B shown in FIG. 5A and FIG. 6A) and includes a specified characteristic that is defined as a creature of the same population, such as a turtle. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, if the at least one shooting target 50, which is hit down, is the special target 51C, all turtles as the shooting targets 50 on the game picture 21 are hit down together. As shown in FIG. 7, the at least one shooting target 50, which is also a turtle, shown in dotted lines is to be hit down together.
[0038] In summary, compared with the prior art, the invention includes the following advantages.
[0039] 1. According to the invention, the at least one shooting target on the game picture in real time is determined according to the judgment condition of the special target and generates the game effect correctly. That is, the at least one shooting target meeting the judgment condition can be realistically hit down on the game picture; and the player can obtain the sum of the odds multiples of the at least one shooting target meeting the judgment condition.
[0040] 2. The authenticity and playability of the game are improved by realistically presenting the game special effect of the game effect of the special target to improve the attraction of the game.
