In the present embodiment, the structure of a display window demonstration control of display controller 401 has been finished demonstration, and as shown in Figure 5, in order to carry out the demonstration control of three display windows, the demonstration control of each display window can be changed according to time-interval system.Suppose that each row for each display window has been finished demonstration on display part 110, suppose that a predefined zone shows as the viewing area of each row, for example can have four kinds of symbols to show simultaneously there.Display part 110 is updated and is shown that making a frame width of cloth span reach per 1/60 or 1/30 second is a given period (the V-syc period), and each frame width of cloth is carried out line sweep.Display controller 401 is read the signal that shows in every line display range, shows same-sign under halted state.Rotating run duration, it is moving at every line display range its display position of symbols displayed.That is to say, when the symbol that reads out from this ROM, apical position is read in display controller 401 conversions, by the moving distance of every frame amplitude shift is read out in viewing area scope symbols displayed and reads the symbol that preestablishes order, shows as if the symbol that rotates with this.In addition, in the present embodiment, different displacements depend on accelerated mode, constant speed mode or ways of deceleration.As in accelerated mode, variation is to read into the flow state pattern from the still frame pattern to read.
Addressing generating unit branch comprises: (2) one addressing calculators 1020, (3) one show original position addressing buffer register 1030, (4) one data calculators 1040, (5) one " demonstration-data-information group-number " (speech) buffer register 1050, (6) one addressings and " data-number " produce part 1100 and (7) change-over switch 1160.
(1) all want the symbols displayed data all to be stored in video data ROM1010.In this case, video data ROM1010 can store will be in each display window symbols displayed data pattern, or as long as a video data ROM1010 can be that all display window assemblings are used.Lift an illustration, numerous data pattern as shown in figure 10, all is stored among the video data ROM1010.The pictorial information of sending out from image processing unit 420 is stored in the predefined addressing of pictorial data RAM1150 as shown in figure 10.In order to show the pictorial information of sending out from image processing unit 420 rather than specific symbol, pictorial information is stored in the pictorial data ROM1150 zone with identical addressing as the special symbol pattern addressing that is stored in video data ROM1010.Pictorial data RAM1150 only cooperates the zone of the pictorial information that storage sends out from image processing unit 420 (conforming to a kind of data computation efficient of symbol pattern).
(2) this addressing calculator 1020 is a kind of calculators of reading video data ROM1010 content.Read initial addressing and be written into addressing calculator 1020, then it in response to the character reading clock make progress one by one (or downwards) calculate.
(3) this shows original position addressing buffer register 1030, is that a kind of buffer unit is for the initial addressing of reading of storing the next symbol that promptly will show.When finishing the symbol that shows the front, data are just included the addressing calculator.Reading initial addressing is to produce part 1100 by addressing and following data number to produce, and is sent on the system data bus.
(4) this data calculator 1040 is a kind of calculators that the information group (or speech) that how much shows pattern can show that are used for checking.The number of data message group (speech) then is loaded into data calculator 1040 in the buffer of demonstration-data-information group (speech)-number, down calculates in response to the character reading clock then.When numeral arrives 0, just export a carry signal, from load signal of single starting circuit 1060 outputs, new data just has been input into.
(5) buffer 1050 of demonstration-data-information group (speech)-number is the number that a kind of buffer is used for storing the information group (or speech) of determining the next signal that will show.When data calculator reached 0, numeral was attended school into data calculator.
(6) addressing and data number produce part 1100 and produce the symbolic information group number of reading initial addressing and being shown.Therefore, it comprise a template 1110 (outfit come for each frame width of cloth at least stored symbols read original position, what this symbol was presented at display part in the frame width of cloth goes up the top section), sense data sum and indicates (whether be used to refer to a new symbol pattern will show).
(7) change-over switch 1160 is switches of a kind of conversion equipment, reads from the information of video data ROM1010 and reads from the information of pictorial data RAM1150 for conversion.Provide transformation directive by game control unit 403, see following explanation.For the address of listing the special symbol of inventory from address calculator, the Information Access memory answers the conversion instruction to come conversion by change-over switch 1160.
Fig. 6 is the diagram of expression template.For example, template 1110 can comprise:
For example an expression shows the mould that stops of halted state, and an expression quickens to rotate the acceleration mould of show state, and the constant speed that an expression constant speed is rotated show state is rotated operation mould and an expression and slowed down and rotate the deceleration mould of show state.When stopping mould, symbol is motionless, and each frame width of cloth all is the renewal of prosign.As described below, when the enabling signal from microprocessor 408 was received, the cumulative speed of each display window was to quickening mould, and speed is accelerated until reaching predetermined stick motion speed.When the predetermined symbol movement velocity reached (or having spent preset time), cumulative speed had arrived the constant speed mould.When the signal out of service from microprocessor 408 is received, just slow down operation with predefined geard-down speed.When predetermined stick motion speed reaches (or having spent preset time), then entered and stopped mould.
The data structure instance of template table is shown in Fig. 6 (IV), and wherein (a) expression symbol of being presented at display part top section is read and opened the beginning position, and this display part is in the video data ROM1010 of storage displaying symbol.Read and open beginning position (a) expression one value partially; In being stored in video data ROM1010 the first symbol pattern open the beginning hypothesis on location be 0, from open the beginning position to read open the beginning position raster count (raster count=1/16 symbol-byte sum) just be specified.This just makes that might determine what position symbol is presented on will start, and (b) expression is only read the video data byte in a frame width of cloth in addition.
Therefore, template has been stored to read for each frame width of cloth and has been opened beginning position and data byte number.For each template, symbol can show and rotate wearing or featuring stage armour as symbol and read and open the beginning position and bit by bit be shifted.Shift size will meet the move distance to the symbol display position of each frame width of cloth.According to the template that each display part is provided, velocity of rotation can be because of different to another display part from a display part.
As shown in Figure 7, addressing and data number produce part 1100 and comprise that also a sign register 1210 is for the initial addressing of each symbol pattern of storage and a symbolic address register 1200 conducts indicator to sign register 1210.Symbolic address register 1200 points to each display window top section and the increment according to template content.That is to say that when mark indication one new symbol pattern showed, symbolic address register 1200 will be proofreaied and correct so that point to next symbol.Sign register 1210 is being grasped the initial addressing of symbol pattern for each DISPLAY ORDER.For example, if DISPLAY ORDER is determined to show symbol arrangement as shown in Figure 9, the address that is stored in each symbol in the video data ROM1010 all is stored in the sign register 1210 relevant with the symbol arrangement order.
As shown in Figure 7, it is to be used for reading the symbol pattern initial address that is stored in the sign register 1210 that addressing and data number produce part 1100, the latter points to each frame width of cloth by sign indicators 1200, on symbol guide 1110, search, and add and read original position and symbol pattern initial address, read initial address thereby produce.The symbol-byte number that demonstrates is exactly the sense data sum in symbol guide 1110.
Then, see also Fig. 6, the handling procedure of template is discussed, wherein mobile indicator is used to refer to the position of template table.This moves the position that indicator is used to refer to template table.This moves indicator and can make with indicated number template read-out position with a calculator.It is settled the demonstration timing in order as clock, and when calculating last template, it gets back to 0 again.Sense data adds up in the odd-job district temporarily from template table.
(1) after pinball game was connected power supply, maybe when receiving the instruction that microprocessor is sent, display controller 401 repeated to read template SSDT0 (halted state).
(2) when receiving from entry into service signal that microprocessor is sent, template is aligned to SSDT1, and template SSDT1 data have been expanded, and next frame width of cloth expanded data is just write into temporary area.
(3) the frame width of cloth upgrades (being to expire each demonstration time) each time, and template just is aligned SSDT2, SSDT3 ... repeat in regular turn.
(4) when finishing the acceleration template procedure, just finished the conversion to the constant speed template procedure, this process repeats (CNDT14 repeats to the loop of CNDT0) in a similar manner.
Then discuss the demonstration running of Fig. 5.
1, addressing and data number generation part 1100 relates to above-mentioned template, be " the reading initial address " and " video data byte number " that is used for producing as 1-frame width of cloth table displaying symbol, be stored in the initial address of reading of the address buffer register 1030 that shows original position, and be stored in the video data byte number in the buffer register of video data byte number.
2, read initial address and video data byte number all pack into addressing counter and data counter, these two kinds of counters with show that timing is synchronous.
3, in the used frame width of cloth, the digital generation part of address and data byte is created in will the data presented table in the next frame width of cloth.
4, data counter 1040 and address counter 1020 be according to clock running, and sense data is then according to the indicated address of addressing counter 1020 from memory.
5, start change-over switch 1160 data are normally read from video data ROM1010, show that data are read from pictorial data RAM1150 from the pictorial information of presentation manager 420 outputs rather than specific symbol.
Therefore, addressing produces part and produces the address, and symbol data is read from video data ROM1010, and pictorial information rather than special symbol then can be read from pictorial data RAM1150.
As another kind of configuration structure, be stored in the sign register shown in Figure 7 1210 initial address and need not be furnished with change-over switch 1160 and also can write again.In this case, the address that is assigned to video data ROM1010 separates separately with the address that is assigned to pictorial data RAM1150, avoids them interlaced.For instance, the initial address " A1 " that is stored in the sign register 1210 is stored in another logger, rather than the initial address of pictorial data RAM1150 is stored in the sign register 1210.In order to return to previous special symbol, the initial address that is saved " A1 " can return to sign register 1210.In this case, the address transfer line from address counter 1020 is connected to pictorial data RAM1150 and video data ROM1010 simultaneously.Pictorial information input rather than special symbol input also can show with the same manner.
Next step is discussed and shows from the pictorial information of presentation manager 420 outputs rather than the conversion time of special symbol.Be exactly the conversion timing specific to change-over switch conversion time.In the present embodiment, it is determined by game console 403, and another kind of control section also can assemble and reaches this purpose.
In order to determine conversion time, the fit on transition detecting device, is just changed when transition detecting device detects this condition for detecting the specified conditions that have been met, just show from the pictorial information of presentation manager 420 outputs, and or not specific symbol.
Following several condition can be predesignated and be specified conditions:
When depositing video data RAM1150 in when image processing unit 420 processing image backs and data, first kind of specified conditions just satisfied.In this case, transition detecting device detects the data that are stored in the video data RAM1150, exports a conversion instruction then in the hope of showing from the pictorial information of image processing unit 420 outputs rather than specific symbol.For example, when having exported conversion instruction,, replaced as initial address shown in Figure 10 by address A1 as symbol " 7 " if replace special symbol, then just decided with symbol 7 corresponding addresses, change-over switch 1160 just instructs from pictorial data RAM1150 sense data.According to the condition of predesignating, behind input imagery, just in time after image processing, finish conversion for the pictorial information that provides by the specific picture of input.
Second kind of specified conditions such as following: button 124 is demarcated in a kind of picture inversion of caliberating device, is used for illustrating permission transition diagram image information.Transition detecting device is to be used for the time of detecting, at this moment between in provide grant instruction by caliberating device.For instance, the pictorial information that should import after frame images input is just from printing portion 421 outputs, the player checks this pictorial information just as above-mentioned, just presses down picture inversion then and demarcates button 124, and this is responded, finished conversion, just show from the pictorial information rather than a certain special symbol of image processing unit 420 outputs, thereby, can both demonstrate the pictorial information of input no matter the player wants or do not want, the player can have the sense of more attending a game, and enjoys.
The third specified conditions such as following: the polytype symbol is revealed and is handled in multiple position as pictorial information.Game control unit 403 comprises a definite device, and whether be used for determining to be presented at each locational symbol combination is predefined symbol combination.When definite device had been determined to be presented at each locational symbol combination and is exactly predefined symbol combination, transition detecting device had just detected these specified conditions.For example, if any three display windows, if as a kind of predefined symbol combination, the symbol that is presented at each display window center all is the same, can change so that from pictorial data RAM1150 sense data.When there being two to stop and symbol when only on a display window, showing in three display windows, also can produce same variation, if resembling two display window center symbols displayed that stop is identical symbols, show on the display window of running as predefined symbol combination, also can change so that from pictorial data RAM1150 sense data.If do like this, when the symbol coupling has gone up specific combination, also can change for input image information, make the player enjoy the enjoyment of recreation.
With the method that pre-determines change condition like this,, just can change if satisfied the condition of determining.
Though new demonstration in the present embodiment is pictorial information rather than a kind of specific symbol of input, what can show is pictorial information rather than any other demonstration information that has been transfused to.With shown in Figure 11 be example, the pictorial information of input can show on complete display part 110, is not to show at display window and symbol.Front view shown in Figure 11 is display part and peripheral part thereof such as extracts pinball game.
If multiple recreation transmission line (game transmission line) on many positions every composite symbol is all arranged, this is subjected to the qualification of game control unit 403, at least to select one or one or more recreation transmission line, and display controller 401 obtains instruction indication selection recreation transmission line, display controller 401 can so be controlled and cause displaying symbol on each position, and instructs the selection of recreation transmission line with the pictorial information of having imported.Example as shown in figure 12, the recreation transmission line is defined as 35a, 35b, 35c, 35d and 35e.In order to indicate the selection of recreation transmission line, when the player selects one or more recreation transmission lines, perhaps one or more recreation transmission lines are selected to respond the number of input game medium, display unit 110 can be equipped with zone 600 for every transmission lines, and the recreation transmission line that the pictorial information of input can corresponding have been selected shows on zone 600.If the recreation transmission line has been selected input image information and just can be presented in the zone 600, shown in Figure 12 B.
Below, with reference to Figure 14 in detail the aforesaid hardware setting that is used to show input image information being described in detail, Figure 14 is the block diagram that shows the hardware of the input imagery that is used as background.
