Abstract

A method for providing a close-range battle royale game in which a permitted number of players and a permitted area in a game map are determined dynamically is provided. The method includes steps of: a game server (a) (i) determining a permitted number of the players by using a first algorithm, and (ii) determining specific users as specific players by referring to a specific counted number of the specific users during waiting time; (b) (i) selecting a set of coordinates for a base point in a permitted area by using a second algorithm, (ii) determining a size by referring to the permitted number, and (iii) determining the permitted area by referring to the set of the coordinates and the size; and (c) at least one of allowing the specific players to view the permitted area and determining starting positions of the specific players by referring to the permitted area.
