Abstract

Apparatus for generating a plurality of moving objects on a video display screen in, for example, a video amusement game utilizes separate horizontal and vertical line memories, each pair corresponding to a separate object to be displayed, to drive an associated graphics generator and picture memory to display the moving object. Such logic architecture provides for economy and simplicity in programming for video games having a relatively small number of objects. <IMAGE>
