Abstract

Es ist schon mehrfach versucht worden, seit längerem bekannte Autorennspiele zu modernisieren und interessanter zu gestalten. Die Überlegungen gehen dabei in die Richtung bisher mechanische Komponenten von Spielen durch elektrische Komponenten zu ersetzen. Es ist jedoch keine Anregung entnehmbar, den eigentlichen Rennverlauf in irgendeiner Weise zu beeinflussen; vor allem im Spiel einen in der Wirklichkeit vorkommenden Vorgang nachzuahmen, so daß das Spiel interessanter gestaltet werden kann oder den Spielpartner zu simulieren.It has been tried several times, well known for a long time Modernize car racing games and make them more interesting. The Considerations go in the direction of mechanical so far Replace components of games with electrical components. It is however, no suggestion can be seen, the actual course of the race in to influence in any way; especially in the game one in the Mimicking reality occurring process so that the game can be made more interesting or to simulate the game partner.

Hierzu werden beim erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren alle Fahrzeuge nach Ablauf einer vorgebbaren Nachlaufzeit blockiert, wenn ein zum Verlassen der Rennbahn führender Fahrfehler bei einem der Fahrzeuge aufgetreten ist, wodurch zum ersten Mal überhaupt ein gerechtes Austragen von Wettrennen und ein ordnungsgemäßer Spielbetrieb ermöglicht wird.For this purpose, all vehicles are in the method according to the invention Blocked expiry of a predefinable follow-up time if one to leave the racetrack has experienced driving errors in one of the vehicles, which is the first time that races have been held fairly and proper game play is made possible.

In der erfindungsgemäßen Schaltungsanordnung ist eine Steuereinrichtung vorgesehen, welche das simulierte Rennen einschließlich eines simulierten Wettkampfgegners steuert und u.a. einen Fahrfehler-Detektor aufweist.There is a control device in the circuit arrangement according to the invention provided that the simulated race including a simulated Opponent controls and, among other things, has a driving error detector.

Die Erfindung liegt auf dem Gebiet der Simulation von Autorennen mit elektromotorisch angetriebenen Spielfahrzeugen.
