紙に描いたモンスターが、動いて、戦う。 「かみバトル」は、紙に手描きしたキャラクターをカメラで撮るだけで、輪郭を切り抜いて3D空間に立たせ、目を動かし口を開けて戦わせるお絵かきバトルアプリです。世界にひとつだけの、あなたが描いたモンスターで対戦しよう。 ■ 遊びかた 1. 紙にモンスターを描く(輪郭は閉じた線で。目・口・手足も描くと強くなる) 2. 「カメラでよみこむ」で撮るだけ。四隅を見つけて自動で補正します 3. 認識結果を確認して「なかまにする」 4. 一覧から2匹えらんで「たたかう!」 5. 両者が自動で技を出し合う。速さは「ゆっくり/ふつう/はやい」から選べます ■ 描きかたが、強さになる 大きく描けばタフに、足を長く描けば素早く、手足を増やせば攻撃的に。色でタイプも変わります。赤は「ほのお」、紫は「どく」、黄は「でんき」、青や緑は「みず/くさ」。鉛筆だけなら無属性。同じ絵からは必ず同じ強さのキャラが生まれます。運まかせではありません。 ■ 負けたら、もう戦えない 勝負に負けたキャラには「やぶれた」印がつき、二度と戦えなくなります。一覧には残るので、眺めるのも、自分で手放すのも、持ち主のあなた次第。だからこそ、一戦一戦が真剣勝負になります。 ■ こんな人におすすめ ・お絵かきが好きな子ども、大人 ・自分だけのモンスターを育てたい人 ・親子でいっしょに遊べるアプリを探している人 紙とペンさえあれば、想像した怪獣がそのまま動き出します。さあ、最強のモンスターを描こう。
