Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a game device in which a ball is rolled with a stick and a rotating bar is rotated to enjoy the ball.

BACKGROUND ART The inventor of the present invention has proposed a physical strength measuring device for rehabilitation, which was filed on December 20, 1993 in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 5-67761 (Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 7-37221). As shown in Fig. 1, this device
11 is laid, and a target 12 is arranged on one end of the mat 11. As shown in FIG. 2, the targets 12 are located near both side edges of the mat 11 and are provided with columns 13a and 13b, and a shaft 14 is horizontally mounted along the columns 13a and 13b. Rotating bar
15 is rotatably mounted so that its center of gravity is below the axis 14. In this example, the rotating bar 15 has a strip shape, and the shaft 14 penetrates in the width direction thereof, and is rotatably held by the shaft 14. Each rotary bar 15 is provided with a tubular spacer 17 coaxially on the shaft 14 so that the position in the direction along the shaft 14 does not shift. Each rotation bar 15 is provided with a rotation detecting means 16 so as to generate a rotation signal each time the rotation bar 15 makes one rotation, that is, when the rotation bar 15 rotates, the rotation is detected every one rotation. Can be In this example, a permanent magnet 18 is fixed to one end of the rotary bar 15 that is longer than the shaft 14, and a connecting rod 19 is fixed between upper ends of the columns 13a and 13b.
Hall elements on the part of the connecting rod 19 facing each rotary bar 15,
When the magnetic sensitive element 21 such as a reed switch is attached and the rotary bar 15 rotates, a rotation detection signal is output from the magnetic sensitive element 21 opposed thereto with every rotation of the rotary bar 15.
The target 12 is constituted by the rotating bar 15 and the rotation detecting means 16.

A ball 22 is arranged on the other end of the mat 11, and the ball 22
The ball 22 is hit with the stick 23 toward the target 12, and the ball 22 is rolled and rolled to reach the target 12, and the rotating bar 15 is rotated by the ball 22. Due to this rotation, a detected rotation signal is output each time the permanent magnet 18 passes near the magnetic sensitive element 21 facing the rotary bar 15. The detected rotation signal from each of the magnetic sensitive elements 21 is connected to the connecting rod.
Through the wiring along 19, it is further supplied to the corresponding core wire in the cord 24, one end of which is fixed to one of the columns 13b. Code 24
Is connected to a display device 25 arranged near the outside of one side of the mat 11, and the display device 25 displays a display indicating a rotating bar rotated and the number of rotations. S on top and bottom of each rotating bar 15
When a ball element is used as the magnetically sensitive element 21 by attaching a pole permanent magnet and an N pole permanent magnet, the sensitivity can be increased.

The ball 22 is, for example, a sphere made of a synthetic resin material having a diameter of about 45 mm, and the stick 23 is made of a wooden or synthetic resin material, has a T-shaped hammer shape, and has an end surface or side surface at the top of the T shape. You are forced to hit the ball. Width 50cm,
Place the mat 11 in a space of 3 m in depth, hit the ball 22 with the stick 23, and roll the ball 22
The fact that the number of rotations of the rotating bar 15 is large,
This shows that the ball 22 was hit hard. Therefore, the physical strength of the hitter can be known from the rotation speed.
Also, the number of rotations of the rotating bar 15 per hitting ball and the total number of rotations of the rotating bar 15 for a predetermined number of hits can be enjoyed by a plurality of players competing, that is, it can be used as a game device.

However, the device shown in FIG. 1 has a simple display 25 as a game device and is not so suitable for enjoying a game. Further, only a simple game can be played with the device shown in FIG.

An object of the present invention is to provide a game device that uses the target, the ball, and the stick, but also displays the progress of the game.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a game device that can enjoy a complicated game using the target, the bose, and the stick.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a plurality of rotating bars are rotatably mounted on a horizontal axis by hitting a ball with a stick and rolling the ball against the rotating bar, rotating the rotating bar, and rotating the rotating bar each time. In a game device in which rotation is detected by a rotation detection means as a rotation detection signal, each rotation detection signal is input from the rotation detection means to an arithmetic processing unit, and the arithmetic processing unit is configured to rotate the rotating bar or the number of rotations of the rotating bar. Or a score is obtained using both of them as parameters, and a result including the progress of the game until the end of one game is output as an image signal, and the image signal is supplied to the display, and the game progress and the result are displayed as an image. Is done.

When the number of revolutions is used as a parameter, the arithmetic processing unit counts the number of input rotation detection signals to determine the number of revolutions of the rotation bar for each hit, and determines the maximum number of revolutions from the start of the game to that time. Find the value as a score. In this case, counting of the number of rotations is performed only when a predetermined rotation bar is rotated,
The image signal indicates which of the rotation bars has been counted in the order of the hit balls.

When the rotation bar is used as a parameter, the arithmetic processing unit accumulatively adds the weight given to the rotation bar every time a rotation detection signal based on one hit is input, and displays the added value as an advantage. I do. Further, which of the rotating bars has been rotated in the order of the hit balls is displayed by an image signal.

When the rotation bar and the rotation speed are used as parameters, the arithmetic processing unit counts the rotation detection signal and obtains the rotation speed every time a rotation detection signal based on one hit is input.
By the number of rotations, the rotation bar is made to acquire a unit area in a predetermined area, and the total value of the acquired unit areas of each area for each rotation bar is obtained as a score, and the area of each rotation bar, The acquired unit area, the total value, and the number corresponding to the number of hits are displayed by an image signal.

In any of the above, find the highest score in the past,
This is displayed by an image signal, and if necessary, the previous score is displayed by an image signal. Further, there is provided a means for inputting as a foul that the ball has not hit the rotation bar or did not make one revolution due to a hit ball, and when a foul is input, the arithmetic processing unit advances the progress of the game by one step, and based on the foul. This is displayed by an image signal corresponding to the step progress.

In another case where the rotation bar and the rotation speed are used as parameters, the arithmetic processing unit calculates the rotation speed by counting the rotation detection signal based on one hit, and determines the rotation speed in advance by the rotation bar. The unit area in the region is obtained by distinguishing between an odd number of hits (hit by A) and an even number (hit by B). The unit regions that have already been acquired are acquired, and the respective regions for each rotation bar, and the odd-numbered acquisition unit regions and the even-numbered unit regions are displayed by image signals. Further, when all the unit areas are acquired with only one area, the acquisition of the unit area by the other area is prohibited. When the rotation detection signal of the rotary bar corresponding to the prohibited area is input, if the signal is based on the hit ball that the prohibited area has acquired, the acquisition is canceled by the number of rotations. When all the areas are in the acquisition prohibition state, the game with the greater of the odd-numbered acquisition area and the even-numbered acquisition area at that time is determined to be the victory, and the game is ended. Each region is linear and arranged in parallel with each other, each unit region is divided and formed at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction in each region, odd-numbered acquisition is performed from one end on the same side of each region, The even-numbered acquisition is performed from the other end on the same side of each area. A total value of the number of the odd-numbered acquisition unit areas and a total value of the even-numbered acquisition unit areas may be obtained, and each of the total values may be used as a score to be displayed by an image signal.

In still another case in which both the rotation bar and the rotation speed are used as parameters, each time a rotation detection signal based on one hit is input, the rotation detection signal is counted to determine the rotation speed. Only, the mark is moved on the rotating bar in a predetermined direction by a unit distance, and the moving path of the mark, the goal, and the number of hits are displayed by an image signal.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In this invention, as shown in FIG.
A target 12 is arranged at one upper end, and a ball 22 is hit from the other end of the mat 11 toward the target 12 with a stick 23, and the rotating bar 15 of the rolling target 12 is rotated.
Each time, a rotation detecting means 16 for detecting one rotation is provided.

In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, a rotation detection signal of each rotation bar from the rotation detection means 16 is input to the arithmetic processing unit 31. The arithmetic processing unit 31 includes a bus 32, an arithmetic processing unit (CPU) 33, a ROM 34, a RAM 35, an interface 36 with the rotation detecting means 16, and a game in which a game program is stored.
ROM 37 _{1 to} 37 _n , character generator 38, interface 41 with mouse 39, keyboard 42 having various switches
And an interface 45 with the video RAM 44. A display 47 is connected to the video RAM 44, and the image signal in the video RAM 44 is displayed as an image on the display 47.For example, a TV signal generator 48 modulates a carrier with an image signal stored in the video RAM 44, The signal is supplied to the television set 49 as a signal of one free channel of the television.

The basic program in the ROM 34 is read by the CPU 33 and is decoded and executed. That is, when the game device power switch is turned on as shown in FIG. 4, a game name usable in this game device is displayed on the display surface 51 of the display 47 as shown in FIG. display: S _1), a mouse 39
Prompting a game name selection by moving a marker 52 by (S _2), the game name is selected, the game ROM 37 ₁ to 37 for the selected game name game program is stored
_The game program stored in the one corresponding to _n is read, and the process proceeds to decryption execution. In executing a game program, first, a fixed image signal is generated, and this is
4 to be transferred is displayed on the display unit 47 (S _3). For example, when the rotation game is selected, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, a rotation bar image 15 _B1 ′, 1
_{5 Y1 ', 15 R',} 15 Y2 ', 15 B2' are arranged and displayed on the left and right,
Below that, the number images 53 of numerical values “1” to “10” indicating the number of hits of the ball 22 by the stick 23 are arranged and displayed on the left and right,
On the left side of the underlying, image 5 showing the rotary bar 15 _Y1, 15 _R, 15 _Y2
4 _Y1 , 54 _R and 54 _Y2 are arranged vertically. In this example, the first
The five rotating bars 15 in the figure are colored blue, yellow, red, yellow, and blue, respectively, from the left end, and when describing the rotating bars 15 separately, the symbols 15 _B1 , 15
_Y1, indicated by _{15 R, 15 Y2, 15 B2} . Each as an image 54 _Y1, 54 _R, 54 _Y2 represents a character "yellow", "red", "yellow". When a yellow square image, a red square image, and a yellow square image are displayed instead of these characters, various displays can be provided.

Under the image 54 _Y2 , the character images `` highest '' 55, `` previous '' 56, `` rotation speed '' 57 are arranged and displayed on the left and right, and rectangular frame images 58, 59, 61 is displayed. Below that, a framed character image “Cancel” 62, “Foul” 63, and “Main Menu” 64 are displayed side by side. The character generator 38 is used as needed in accordance with the generation of the fixed image signal. The cursor 52 is always located near the character image “foul” 63, for example, immediately below.

Arithmetic processing unit 31 after displaying such a fixed image, executes the game execution program which executes the selected game (S _4). For example, when the spinning game is selected as in the above example, the processing shown in FIG. 7 is performed. First the initialization process is performed (S _5), the power of the game device after turning on, or maximum speed since using this game device initially, i.e. sets a historical maximum speed R _M. When the power is turned on, set R _M = 0, and when the game device has been used for the first time, at the end of use of the game device last time, for example, the maximum rotation speed R _M stored in the electrically rewritable ROM is used. R
For example, _M = R _M is stored in a previously stored area of the RAM 35,
The maximum speed R _mp at the time of the previous game is set to 0, the maximum speed R _m of up to it in the current game is set to 0, bats i
Is set to 0 and stored in predetermined areas of the RAM 35, respectively.

Waits for an input of the rotation detection signal in this state (S _6). When a user (referred to as an athlete) of the game device hits the ball 22 with the stick 23, the ball 22 rolls, hits one of the rotating bars, the rotating bar rotates, and when the rotation detection signal is inputted, The rotation detection signal is counted, and the number of rotations R _i of the rotating bar associated with one ball rolling is counted (S ₇ ). It is checked whether this rotation speed R _i is higher than the current maximum rotation speed R _m (S ₈ ), and if it is high, the rotation speed R _i is set as the maximum rotation speed R _{m up} to that time (S ₉ ), is to be large as it is rolled (hitting) the number of times i is +1 (S _10), the predetermined number of times the i is predetermined, for example 10 matched or are examined with (S _11), step S ₁₂ must match The display content of the display is updated. In other words,
R _M , R _mp , and R _m are displayed in frame images 58, 59, and 61, respectively, and which of the detection elements 21 determines which rotation bar the rotation detection signal at that time is based on. And the number of times corresponding to the rotation bar and the number of hits i,
For example the flow returns to step S ₆ displaying the image 65 of the double circle. 8th
FIG. 7 shows a display state of the screen 51 in a state where the fifth hitting ball is finished. Only when one of the rotation bar 15 _R of the center and the rotation bar 15 _Y1, 15 _Y2 of both sides thereof is rotated in this example, it counts the number of revolutions, and other rotary bars 15 _B1, 15 _B2 This is rotated However, this is the case where the rotation speed is ignored. Therefore, between the step S ₆ and S _7, when the rotation detection signal is input, the rotation detection signal is valid rotation bars 15 _R, 1
5 _Y1, 15 _Y2 any in which one is examined from, if the effective rotation bar, but proceeds to step S _7, the other of the rotary bar 1
If the 5 _B1, 15 _B2 moves to step S _10.

In FIG. 8, the first hit (number of times i = 1) is the rotation bar
15 _R is rotated, the second rotary bar 15 _Y1 rotates respectively, fifth is displayed that rotates (i = 5) is a rotary bar 15 _R and 15 _Y2 are simultaneously. The image after the 6th time
It can also be read that there is no display of 65 and the state of rolling five times has been performed. Also, for example, the maximum rotational speed R _M since the power was turned on
15, the maximum number of revolutions R _mp is 12 in the last 10 hits, and the maximum number of revolutions R _m in the current time (i = 5) is 10. If fifth (i = 5) rotating bar 15 _R and 15 _Y2 of the two, as has been rotated simultaneously to the sum of the rotational speed of both the rotational speed of the i = 5. The X image 66 is displayed at the fourth time. This is the case where the ball 22 is hit by the stick 23 but the ball 22 does not hit any of the rotating bars or hits the invalid rotating bar 15 _B1 or 15 _B2. In this case, when the competitor clicks the “foul” image 63 on the screen 51 with the cursor 52,
After being moved to 52 on a "foul" image 63, to know the interruption of the foul processing unit 31 to input operation, the processing proceeds from step S ₀ in FIG. 7 to step S _10. If hit a rotary bar 15 _B1 or 15 _B2, the process proceeds to step S ₁₀ from step S ₆ without clicking the cursor. In this example, when a rotation detection signal is input, a rotation bar image corresponding to the rotation bar, for example, 15 _Y2 ′ is rotated. The rotation of the rotating bar image can be obtained by, for example, storing the rotating state of each rotating bar with a video camera, storing the rotating bar image in a memory, reading this out, and writing it to a corresponding portion in a video RAM. Good.

When becomes i = 10 in step S _11, after waiting for the appropriate short time decided (S _12), the current maximum value R _m is checked whether the past is larger than the maximum value R _M (S _14), R _m if large
_{As M} (S ₁₅ ), if not large, step S _{16 as it is}
Move to 0 the number of times i In step S _16, the current maximum number of R _m
The previous highest number R _mp, the current maximum number of R _m and respectively 0, then step S and updates the display at step S ₁₇
Return to ₆ . The screen 51 at this time is a double circle image 65 in FIG.
Disappears X image 66 are all the values if the changes in numerical steps S ₁₅ in Wakuzo 58, the value before to be changed, figures Wakuzo in 59 the value of R _m of far , The numerical value in the frame image 61 is displayed as 0. In this state the ball from step 23
Hit 22 to start the next game. It should be noted that the number of rotations by the current hitting ball may be displayed in the square frame image 61. As described above, in the present invention, one player can enjoy how much the rotating bar is rotated by one hitting ball. Or, a plurality of people compete and enjoy, or the progress of one game is displayed on the screen 51, so that the game device can be enjoyed more than before.

In FIG. 8, when the character image "stop" 62 is clicked with the cursor 52, the screen 51 returns to the initial state, that is, the state shown in FIG. When the character image "main menu" 64 is clicked with the cursor 52, the screen 51 is brought into a state of displaying the main menu shown in FIG.

Next, an embodiment of a game (game name: scoring game) in which a rotation bar is used as a parameter will be described. 7 points when the ball 22 strikes the rotation bar 15 _R in this example, three hits to the rotation bar 15 _Y1 or 15 _Y2, hits the rotating bar 15 _B1 or 15 _B2 1
Points are given to compete (enjoy) the total value of points obtained during one game. As shown in FIG. 9, for example, the processing flow of the game execution program is such that the number of times (the number of times) i is 0 in the initialization and the highest score S _M 0 in the past or the value S _M taken out from a rewritable ROM. , The previous score _{SP is set} to 0, and the current score S _{i is set} to 0 (S ₁₈ ). Waits for input of a rotation detection signal in this state (S _6), when the rotation detection signal is input, the current score S _i, given the rotation bar rotates which is responsible for the input of the rotation detection signal when the The point (weight) S is added to the current score S _i (S ₁₉ ). For example if the input of the rotation detection signal by the rotation of the rotary bar 15 _R S = 7 is added to S _i, if the input of the rotation detection signal by the rotation of the rotary bar 15 _Y1 is S = 3 is added to the S _i You. Next, display update is performed (S _20). In other words, screen 51 in this case
Is shown, for example, in FIG. 10, and the same signals are attached to portions corresponding to those in FIG. In this case, the character image 54
_Y1 , 54 _R , 54 Numerical image with frame instead of _Y2 "7" 67 ₁ , "3" 67
_2, "1" 67 ₃ appears, "score" image 68 of the character is displayed instead of ten ten number image 57. Figures image 67 _1, 67 _2, 67 ₃ respectively red instead of yellow, may display a blue square image. In this example, at the bottom, instead of the character image “main menu” 64, the character image “rotation” 69, “receipt 1” 71,
“Receipt 2” 72 is displayed.

In this example corresponding to the rotating bar rotated at that time in each hit number image 53, a double circle image 65 is displayed at the point of the score character image 67 ₁ , 67 ₂ , 67 ₃ , and the highest image in the square frame image 58 Score S _M
But previous score S _P a square frame image within 59, the score S _i to date of the current game is displayed respectively on the rectangular frame image 61.
In the FIG. 9 example in a state where roll after completion of the sixth times (i = 6), the sixth is displayed that the ball 22 is hit with the rotation bar 16 _R and the rotation bar 16 _Y1 or 16 _Y2, This score S = 10 is added to the previous score S ₅ = 25. The current score S ₆ = 35 is displayed in the frame image 61, and the past highest score S _M is 5
8. The previous score _SP is displayed at 59.

After the display update is made in step S _20, bats number i is +1 (S _10), the i is checked whether a predetermined number 10 (S _11), returns to 10 if not step S _6, the following Of the rotation detection signal. If the ball 22 does not hit any of the rotating bars in this game, the character image “foul” 63 is clicked with the cursor 52 as in the previous case, but if there is an interruption due to the foul click, step S ₆ proceeds to step S ₂₀ from. When bats number i at step S ₁₁ is 10, after waiting a predetermined short time has elapsed (S _13), the score S _i in the current game, S ₁₀ in this example is larger than the previous highest score S _M (S ₂₂ ), and if S _i is larger, S _{i is set} to S _M (S ₂₃ ). If S _i is not larger, the process directly proceeds to step S ₂₄ , and the current score is obtained. Let S _i be the previous score _Sp , set the current score S _i to 0 and the number i to 0 (S ₂₄ ), update the display accordingly, and return to step S ₆ (S ₂₅ ). That is, the double round image 65 and the X image 66 (first
(Not shown in FIG. 0) is deleted, and the inside of the square frame image 61 is set to 0. This state is a state automatically displayed by the fixed image generation program of the game program when the scoring game is selected.

In FIG. 10, the “main menu” 64 is not displayed as a character image as described above. However, in this embodiment, the number of selectable games displayed on the main menu is four as shown in FIG. 5, and the game names other than the currently selected game are character images 69, 71, It is displayed as 72, so after the end of the currently selected game, if you want to play another type of game, move the cursor 52 over the character image of the game name and click, and the fixed image of that game will be displayed It is displayed on the display screen 51, returns to the main menu table, and can move to another game with fewer operations than when selecting a game name.

Next, an area acquisition game 1 (game name: pick-up 1) will be described as an example of a game in which a rotation bar is used as a parameter and the number of rotations is used as a parameter, and the game is enjoyed by one person.
FIG. 11 shows a display example on the screen 51 in this case. In this example, the character images “highest” 55, “previous” 56, “score” 68, and “remaining number” 74 are arranged and displayed on the left and right at the top of the screen 51,
Rectangular frame images 58, 59, 61, 75 are displayed immediately below these character images, and further below them, rotating bars 15 _B1 , 15 _Y1 , 15 _R , 1
Regions 76 _B1 , 76 _Y1 , 76 _R , 76 _Y2 , 76 _B2 corresponding to 5 _Y2 , 15 _B2 and having the same size (in this example, the same length) are arranged vertically and these regions are elongated horizontally. Has been
In the extension direction, it is equally divided into unit areas 77. Blue, yellow, red, yellow, blue square image 5 showing one end of each of the territories 76 _{B1 to} 76 _B2 is aligned with the corresponding rotating bar.
4 _B1 , 54 _Y1 , 54 _R , 54 _Y2 , 54 _B2 are arranged, and a vertically extending line 78 indicating the player side is displayed near the other end of the area. In this game, one end of the corresponding area (line 78)
Side), the unit area 77 is acquired by the number of rotations, and the number of all acquired unit areas 77 at a predetermined number of pitches is set as a score.

FIG. 12 shows an example of the processing procedure of the game execution program of this game. In the initialization step S _27, 0 the number i, the previous highest score A _M 0 (or rewritable ROM read from was the value A _M), 0 the previous score A _q, the current Japanese score A _i 0 , regions _{76 B1, 76 Y1, 76 R} , 76 Y2, 76 number of the acquired unit regions 77 in the _{B2 a B1, a Y1, a} R, a Y2, scores a _B2 respectively 0, from game start to the current G Is 0, and the number of hits j until the end of the game is 5, for example. After these initializations, the system waits for the input of a rotation detection signal (S ₆ ). When the rotation detection signal is input, the rotation detection signal is counted, and the rotation speed R of the rotation bar based on one hit ball is calculated. get (S _7). Its rotating bar 15
_q: or (q B1, Y1, one of R, Y2, B2), and the acquisition of unit regions 77 in the corresponding region 76 _q is the first time is checked, if the first time, of the region 76 _q to acquire the unit regions 77 by the rotation speed R (S _29), that is the acquisition of unit regions 77 in the region 76 _q is a _q. For example, if the rotation bar 15 _R is rotated R = 7, the acquisition A _R = 7 unit areas 77 in the region 76 _R.

On the other hand, if the acquisition of the unit area 77 in the area 76 _q is not the first time and there is an already acquired one, the area 76
by adding the rotational speed R of the acquired unit regions A _q in _q as a new A _q (S _30), the number of unit regions 77 of the new A _q is the area A _q, or in this example is greater than 10 Is checked (S ₃₁ ), and if it is larger than 10, the excess is subtracted from the maximum number of unit areas 10 and the remainder is set as the new acquisition number A _q of the area 76 _q (S _31
32 ). That is, if the number of unit area acquisitions is too large than the maximum value, the amount is reduced from the maximum value by the increase. This new before the update from the A _q A _q is the subtracted has been R (S _33).

If A _q is not greater than 10 in step S _31, also the step to the next S ₂₉ and step S ₃₃ is added R is the score G is a new score G (S _34), the number of times i is +1 After (S
₁₀ ) The display is updated. This display is displayed, for example, as shown in FIG. That is, the unit area 77 obtained in each area other than that described above is included in the area 77.
It is shown at the acquisition line 81 extending along the longitudinal direction of the region 76 _q. This acquisition line 81 is in the same region 76 _q are formed in a straight line. In the area 76 _B1 , eight unit areas 77 are acquired, and the area 76 _Y1
In, 10 unit areas, that is, all areas are acquired. This acquisition, that is, the acquisition line 81 is made from the pitching line 78 side. In the area 76 _Y1, the entire unit area is acquired, and the acquisition line 81 is the area
It is formed over the entire length of 76 _Y1 . The area _76Y2 indicates that no unit area 77 has been acquired yet.

The number of hits in one game is, for example, five, and the number of possible pitches j = 5-i until the end of the game is displayed in the square frame image 75. In FIG. 11, “0” is displayed, indicating that one game is completed. The score G is the sum of the numbers A _B1 , A _Y1 , A _R , A _Y2 , and A _B2 obtained in the unit area 77 in each area from the start of the game.
Is displayed in the rectangular frame image 61 below the character image “score” 68. In this example, the score G = 35 is displayed. Square frame image
The highest score G _M = 50 and the previous score G in 58 and 59 respectively
_p = 45 is displayed.

Hitting number i of it until after such a display update is performed in step S ₃₅ has either reached a predetermined number of times 5 is checked (S _11), returns to 5 Otherwise step S _6, the predetermined if the 5 after waiting for a short period of time (S _13), or the current score G is greater than in the past of the highest score G _M is checked (S _22),
Past the highest score if it is large is updated (S _23), then the current score G the previous score G _p, the number of acquisition of each area
And all A _q 0, the number i is also set to 0 (S _36), it and is performed corresponding to the display updated to return to step S ₆ (S _37). Incidentally, one of when all the unit regions 77 in the region have been acquired may be flashing its acquisition line 81 or the rectangular color image 54 _q. Exposing the ball 22 to the rotary bar which corresponds with the area in the flash, the process of causing only the rotational speed R min decreases the number acquisition unit area of the region is performed in step S ₂₈ to S ₃₃ flashing stops Is done. If, after hitting not hit the rotating bar, interrupts the step S ₁₀ by clicking a character image "foul" 63 with the cursor 52.

Next, using the rotation bar and its rotation speed as parameters,
An example of a game enjoyed by humans (game name: receipt 2) will be described. FIG. 13 shows a display example of the screen 51 in this case, and portions corresponding to those in FIG. 11 are denoted by the same reference numerals. In this example, two competitors A and B alternately hit a ball, and the areas 76 _B1 , 76 _Y1 , 76 _R , 76
For example, the player A, who first determines _Y2 and _76B2 , respectively, acquires the unit area 77 from the left end, and B acquires the unit area 77 from the right end. Competitor at acquisition region acquisition line 81 _A, the competitor acquisition area is acquired lines 81 _B and B
Are displayed respectively. The winner is the one who has acquired the entire area first, or the winner is the one who has acquired a large number of areas when the number of hit balls reaches a predetermined number. At this time, if one player obtains the entire unit area 77 in one area, the acquisition of the area is prohibited, and the obtainer hits the ball against the rotating bar corresponding to the prohibited area. Then, various conditions can be set, such as reducing the acquisition unit area by the number of rotations and releasing the prohibition. In FIG. 13, the number of unit areas in each area is set to 17.

FIG. 14 shows an example of the procedure of the processing program of this game. In the initialization step _S41 , the areas 76 _B1 , 76 _Y1 , 76 _R , 76 _Y2 , 76 _B2
A competitor number acquisition area _{A A B1, A Y1, A} R, A Y2, A B2, athlete region acquiring the number B _B1 of _{B, B Y1, B R,} B Y2, B B2 each 0 in,
The score GA of the competitor _{A is set} to 0, the score GB of the competitor _{B is set} to 0, and the flag F indicating which competitor is competing is set to A, that is, the competitor A (for example, 0) is competing. At the beginning of the game, which player is ahead is determined by, for example, Jaken, and if player B is ahead, move the cursor 52 on the line 78 and click to move the line 78 to the right end of the area 76 _q . and then replaces the square color image 54 _q at the left end. That is, after the initialization, it is determined whether or not the preceding is the competitor A based on the presence or absence of the click on the line 78 ( _S42 ).
When the preceding competitor is determined to be B, and the flag F and B (1 in the above example) with replacement display change between the line 78 and the square color image 54 _q is performed (S _43), rotation detection a state of waiting for signal (S _6), preceded by the rotation detection signal is to be inputted without clicking the interrupt to the line 78 if the competitor a. When the rotation detection signal is input, the count is made, the rotational speed R is determined (S _7). The rotation acquisition unit region for a region corresponding to the generated rotation bar of the detection signal is ended, a determination whether had been acquired by all the same athlete made (S _44), if not get completed, of the region 76 _q Current hitter's unit area acquisition number C _q (C _q
Rotational speed R is When the flag F is A A _q, in the case of B to B _q)
Is added ( _S45 ). The number As which is not obtained by any of the competitors A and B in the region 76 _{q as the} rotation speed R _s =
It is determined whether the value is larger than 17− (A _q + B _q ) (S ₄₆ ). If it is larger, the other acquisition D _q of the area 76 _{q by} the larger R−A _s (where F is B _q for case, A for B
_q ) is subtracted from ( _S47 ).

If it is determined in step _S44 that the acquisition is completed, it is determined whether the athlete who has acquired the area _76q is the athlete who has hit the ball this time, that is, for example, when the flag F is A (or B). It is checked whether the acquired number of the area 76 _q is A _q (or B _q ) = 17 (S ₄₈ ), and if it is determined that the player is the same competitor, A _q (= 17) of the area 76 _q is determined. Is subtracted from the rotation number R, that is, the acquisition is canceled ( _S49 ). R in step S _46>
If it is determined that it is not A _s , and after each of steps S ₄₇ and S ₄₉ , the display is updated in step S ₅₀ , and the acquired numbers A _q and B _q
The display lines 81A and 81B are formed and erased in accordance with the change of. After this display change, waiting a predetermined short time has elapsed (S _13), the end of the game or the determination (S _51), i.e. whether all regions 76 _q would be acquired by one of the contestants respectively Is determined.

If no game is completed, replace the line 78 and the square color image 54 _q switches the flag F is performed (S _52),
Returning to step S _6, obtain the input of the rotation detection signal based on the hitting by replacement the competitor. When it is determined that the game is over, the player who has acquired the larger area is determined to be the winner, and the player's winning count G _c (G _A when the flag F is A, G B when the flag F is _B ) is 1
Adding, display update corresponding winning number, before replacing the line 78 and the square color image 54 _q, the flow proceeds to step S ₆ (S _53). Incidentally, when it is determined not to be identical competitor in step S _48, the procedure proceeds to step S _13, when the ball 22 is not hit in any of the rotary bar character image to "foul" Cursor
Was interrupted by clicking with the 52, step S from step S ₆
Move to ₅₁ . Rectangular frame image 83A in this case is the upper left side on the display screen 51, rectangular frame image 83B to the right is a character image in the center "Victory number" 84 is displayed respectively, winning rotation G _A competitor A is a square frame In the image 83A, the number of wins GB of the competitor _B is displayed in the square frame image 83B.

In the above description, the game is ended in a state in which each of the areas has been acquired by one of the competitors, but a player who has acquired a majority of the areas, in this example, three areas in this example, may be the winner. Or hitting times and 10 times each competitor was hitting alternately after each hit ball, that is added to R to score this hitting persons at step S _45, step S
Was subtracted from the score of a person who is not a current hitting's the (R-A _s) in ₄₇ subtracts R from scores of this hitting persons at step S _49. The player having the greater of the score of the player A and the score of the player B after the predetermined number of hits is the winner. In this case, both scores are displayed on the screen, including their progress.

In each pick-up game shown in FIGS. 11 and 13,
Each area is not limited to a linear shape, and may be a square or another shape.
For example, the acquisition unit area may be filled with a predetermined color. Further, the area of each region, that is, the number of unit regions may be different from each other instead of being the same.

Next, a description will be given of still another game in which a rotation bar and the number of rotations are set as parameters. FIG. 15 shows a display example of the screen 51 in this case. The screen 51 displays a mark moving area 91, a start point 92, a goal 93, a mark 94, and a gate 95 provided at an appropriate position in the moving area 91. In the initial state, the mark 94 is located at the start point 92. The rotating bars 15 _{B 1} , 15 _{Y 1} , 15 _R , 15 _{Y 2} , 15 _{B 2} are respectively associated with downward, leftward, upward, rightward, downward, and when the rotating bar by hitting the ball rotates, the direction associated with the rotating bar Then, the mark 94 is moved in the area 91 by the number of rotations of the rotation bar. For example, the movement of the mark 94 in one rotation of the rotating bar is about 5 mm. For example, if the rotated rotating bar is 15 _R and the number of rotations is 3, the mark 94 is moved upward by 5 × 3 mm. In this way, the rotating bar is rotated by hitting the ball, and in this example, the mark 94 reaches the goal 93 through the two gates 95. The number of hits from the start point 92 until the mark 94 reaches the goal 93 is displayed in the square frame image 96. During the game, the number of hit balls on the way is displayed in the square frame image 96. The minimum number of hits to the past goal is displayed in the frame image 58, and the previous number of hits or the frame number 59 is displayed. Also, a route 97 through the mark 94 from the start point 92 is displayed. When the mark 94 is moved and reaches the boundary of the movement area 91, the mark 94 is returned in the opposite direction by the remaining movement amount.
