Abstract

A bubble creation method to be implemented by a server controls a progress of a video game. The bubble creation method includes a calculation formula specifying portion that is configured to specify one or more calculation formulas, and a bubble creation portion that is configured to create a bubble having an appearance defined by the calculation formula. The calculation formula has variables. The bubble creation portion creates a bubble whose appearance changes in accordance with a change of a value of the variable.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A computer readable non-transitory medium storing therein a program which, when executed by a processor of a server, causes the processor to execute functions comprising:
 specifying a calculation formula based on a consideration element, the calculation formula including a variable to define an appearance of a bubble image;   changing a value of the variable of the calculation formula based on the consideration element; and   changing the appearance of the bubble image in accordance with the change of the value of the variable.   
     
     
         2 . The computer readable non-transitory medium according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the consideration element includes a plurality of consideration elements, and   the plurality of consideration elements are used in combination to specify the calculation formula.   
     
     
         3 . The computer readable non-transitory medium according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the plurality of consideration elements are classified into a plurality of categories, and   the plurality of consideration elements from different categories among the plurality of categories are used to specify the calculation formula.   
     
     
         4 . The computer readable non-transitory medium according to  claim 1 , wherein the functions further include displaying the bubble image on a game screen. 
     
     
         5 . The computer readable non-transitory medium according to  claim 1 , wherein the consideration element includes a numerical value indicating content of a line combined with the bubble image. 
     
     
         6 . The computer readable non-transitory medium according to  claim 1 , wherein the consideration element includes a number of characters or words in a line combined with the bubble image. 
     
     
         7 . The computer readable non-transitory medium according to  claim 1 , wherein the consideration element includes a volume or voice quality of voice data corresponding to a line combined with the bubble image. 
     
     
         8 . A video game processing system configured to control a progress of a video game, the system comprising:
 a communication network;   a server;   a user terminal; and   a processor configured to:
 communicate between the server and the user terminal via the communication network; 
 specify a calculation formula based on a consideration element, the calculation formula including a variable to define an appearance of a bubble image; 
 change a value of the variable of the calculation formula based on the consideration element; and 
 change the appearance of the bubble image in accordance with the change of the value of the valuable. 
   
     
     
         9 . The video game processing system according to  claim 8 , wherein
 the consideration element includes a plurality of consideration elements, and   the plurality of consideration elements are used in combination to specify the calculation formula.   
     
     
         10 . The video game processing system according to  claim 9 , wherein
 the plurality of consideration elements are classified into a plurality of categories, and   the plurality of consideration elements from different categories among the plurality of categories are used to specify the calculation formula.   
     
     
         11 . The video game processing system according to  claim 8 , wherein the consideration element includes a numerical value indicating content of a line combined with the bubble image. 
     
     
         12 . The video game processing system according to  claim 8 , wherein the consideration element includes a number of characters or words in a line combined with the bubble image. 
     
     
         13 . The video game processing system according to  claim 8 , wherein the consideration element includes a volume or voice quality of voice data corresponding to a line combined with the bubble image. 
     
     
         14 . A computer readable non-transitory medium storing therein a bubble creation program which, when executed, causes a user terminal to execute functions comprising:
 specifying a calculation formula based on a consideration element, the calculation formula including a variable to define an appearance of a bubble image;   changing a value of the variable of the calculation formula based on the consideration element; and   changing the appearance of the bubble image in accordance with the change of the value of the valuable.   
     
     
         15 . The computer readable non-transitory medium according to  claim 14 , wherein
 the consideration element includes a plurality of consideration elements, and   the plurality of consideration elements are used in combination to specify the calculation formula.   
     
     
         16 . The computer readable non-transitory medium according to  claim 15 , wherein
 the plurality of consideration elements are classified into a plurality of categories, and   the plurality of consideration elements from different categories among the plurality of categories are used to specify the calculation formula.   
     
     
         17 . The computer readable non-transitory medium according to  claim 14 , wherein the functions further include displaying the bubble image on a game screen. 
     
     
         18 . The computer readable non-transitory medium according to  claim 14 , wherein the consideration element includes a numerical value indicating content of a line combined with the bubble image. 
     
     
         19 . The computer readable non-transitory medium according to  claim 14 , wherein the consideration element includes a number of characters or words in a line combined with the bubble image. 
     
     
         20 . The computer readable non-transitory medium according to  claim 14 , wherein the consideration element includes a volume or voice quality of voice data corresponding to a line combined with the bubble image.
