FIG. 20 is a diagram showing a display state of the instep and second montage images accompanying the affinity fortune-telling game processing of the electronic organizer equipped with the montage battle game machine.

That is, in the first processing of the affinity fortune-telling game shown in FIG. 18, when the “fortune-telling” key 21 is operated,
The CPU 31 is set to the compatibility fortune-telling game mode.
The face montage data (see FIG. 12 (A)) of the instep and the second party registered in the affinity fortune-telling montage RAM 40 are read (steps C1 and C2).

Then, the fortune-telling montage RA
Each part pattern constituting the face montage image of the instep and the face montage image of the instep B is read from the basic part pattern ROM 33 and transferred to the synthesis memory 41 in accordance with the face montage data of the step A and the step B read from the M40. As a result, as shown in FIG. 20A, the face montage images X10 and Y10 of the insteps A and B are displayed for use in fortune-telling (steps C3 and C4).

Here, the compatibility score for the face montage for each part pattern constituting the face montage images X10 and Y10 of the instep A and B is calculated by the compatibility score ROM 35.
Corresponding to the compatibility score area 35a (FIG. 5A)
Montage RA read from the above)
M40 and M2 are stored in the compatibility score storage areas 12c and 12d for each part (Step C).
5).

Then, the fortune-telling montage RA
Compatibility score storage area 12 for M40 and M2
The compatibility scores for each part stored in c and 12d are totaled for each of the face montage images X10 and Y10, and stored in the total score storage areas 12e and 12f (see FIG. 12A) (step). C6).

As shown in FIG. 20A, when a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) elapses while the face montage images X10 and Y10 of the instep A and the opponent B as the affinity fortune-telling partner are displayed, the individual Face montage image X1
Corresponding to the part pattern numbers such as eyes and mouths at 0 and Y10, the part patterns such as eyes and mouths for the first stage halfway display for compatibility fortune-telling are expression part patterns R.
The data is read from the OM 36, transferred to the combining memory 41, and only the part patterns such as the eyes and the mouth are replaced and combined. As a result, for example, as shown in FIG. 20 (B), each face montage image is given a facial expression change at the first stage of fortune-telling, and the face montage images X11 and Y11 of the instep and the second person as the first half stage during the fortune-telling, respectively. It is displayed (steps C7 to C9).

Further, as shown in FIG. 20B, a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) elapses while the face montage images X11 and Y11 of the insteps A and B are displayed as the first half of the fortune-telling. Then, corresponding to the part pattern numbers such as the eyes and the mouth in the individual face montage images X11 and Y11, the part patterns such as the eyes and the mouth for the second stage halfway display for affinity fortune-telling are read from the expression part pattern ROM 36. Then, it is transferred to the synthesis memory 41 and only the part pattern portions such as the eyes and the mouth are replaced and synthesized. As a result, a facial expression change of the second stage of fortune-telling is added to each face montage image, and the face montage images of the instep and the second person are displayed as the latter stage during fortune-telling (steps C10 to C12).

Thereafter, when a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) elapses, in step C6, the points are stored in the total score storage areas 12e and 12f of the insteps A and B of the affinity fortune-telling montage RAM 40 (see FIG. 12A). The calculated total compatibility score (in this case, 25 points for Party A: 21 points for Party B) is read out, and the degree of compatibility between Party A and Party B is determined by comparing the point difference (Steps C13 to C15).

Here, for example, when the difference between the total compatibility score of the above-mentioned montage image and the total compatibility score of the above-mentioned montage image is within 0 to 3 points, that is, the compatibility between the former and the latter is high. In the case, corresponding to the eye and mouth part pattern numbers in the face montage image of each of the insteps and the second part, the part patterns such as the eyes and the mouth for displaying the compatibility result and the compatibility background pattern are stored in the expression part pattern ROM 36. The data is read from the area 36d (see FIG. 7A) (steps C16 and C17).

Further, a compatibility match message “Compatibility perfect!” And “Welcome!” Corresponding to the point difference “0-3” stored in advance in the compatibility message ROM 38 is read (step C18).

Then, the expression part pattern ROM 3
The compatibility pattern of the eyes and the mouth and the compatibility background pattern corresponding to the face montage images of the insteps A and B, respectively, which are read out from step S6, are transferred to the synthesis memory 41, and are displayed in step C12 as the latter half of the fortune-telling. And the face montage image of the second party, only the part patterns such as the eyes and mouth are replaced as the compatibility matching result pattern, and the compatibility matching message read out from the compatibility message ROM 38 and the compatibility matching message “Compatibility perfect!” It is synthesized together with "Hello!" (Step C19).

Thus, for example, as shown in FIG. 20C, the face montage images X12,
The expression change of joy is added to Y12, and the compatibility matching background pattern Xc, Yc and the compatibility matching message Xb,
It is displayed together with Yb, “Compatibility perfect!” And “Urashi!” (Step C20).

On the other hand, the point difference between the total compatibility score of the instep montage image and the total compatibility score of the second montage image determined by the point difference comparison determination in step C15 is “4 to
If the score is 15 ", that is, if the compatibility between Party A and Party B is normal, corresponding to the eye and mouth part pattern numbers in the face montage images of Party A and Party B,
The part patterns such as the basic eyes and mouth are read from the basic part pattern ROM 33 again, and the compatibility normal message corresponding to the point difference "4 to 15" stored in the compatibility message ROM 38 in advance is "OK!" (Step C16 → C21-C21)
