Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a video game apparatus according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the video game device includes an operation device 2 and a monitor 3 with a control device 1 at the center. The operation device 2 is connected to the control device 1 (input / output control circuit 6), and is a device operated by a player (player) such as a joystick, a button, and a switch. The monitor 3 converts the image output signal of the control device 1 into a visible image and displays it.

The control device 1 includes an input / output control circuit 6, a CPU
It comprises a circuit 7, a screen memory 14, and the like. The input / output control circuit 6 detects a state in which a player (player) operates a joystick, a button, a switch, or the like (the operation device 2), and transmits the state to the CPU circuit 7. C
The exchange of signals with the PU circuit 7 is performed via the system bus 8. The work memory 9 is used as a work area of the CPU circuit 7. The program memory 10 includes a CPU
A program for the circuit 7 is stored. The character memory 12 stores character data that is displayed on the monitor 3 by writing to the screen memory 14.

When the CPU circuit 7 outputs an image,
Image data is written to the screen memory 14 via the system bus 8. The monitor 3 reads out the image data written in the screen memory 14, converts it into a visible image, and displays it. The player (player) operates the operation device 2 while watching the visible image on the monitor 3 to advance the game.

FIGS. 2 and 3 are flowcharts showing programs of the CPU circuit 7. The program is called and started from a main routine (not shown). FIG. 2 shows a routine that is executed only once when a game (match) is started. FIG. 3 is a routine that determines whether there is a foul when a player (player) and a player (player) approach each other, and is a routine that is executed many times during the progress of the game. The violation determination variables appearing in the description are variables set for each player (player), and are stored in the program memory 10.

In FIG. 2, when the program starts, a team is determined in step S11. That is, it is determined whether both teams are “home” or “away”. The violation determination variable of the team determined to be “home” is decremented by −1 (subtraction), and the determination is made loosely. Further, the violation determination variable of the team determined to be “away” is incremented by +1 (addition), and the determination is made strictly (step S12).
If it is neither “home” nor “away”, the process directly proceeds to step S13.

In step S13, a game field is determined. If the game venue is a large venue, the violation judgment variable is +1
(Addition), and it is determined strictly. Further, when the game field is a small venue, the violation determination variable is decremented by -1 (subtracted), and the determination is made loosely. In the case of the middle venue, the process directly proceeds to the next step, ends the program, and returns to the main routine (not shown).

In FIG. 3, when the program starts, in step S21, the weather at that time is determined.
If the weather is rainy or snowy, the violation determination variable is decremented by -1 (subtraction) in step S22, and the determination is made mildly. If the weather is sunny or cloudy, step S23 is left as it is.
Move to

In step S23, the temperature at that time is determined. If the temperature is cold or hot, step S24
In, the violation determination variable is decremented by -1 (subtraction), and the determination is made loosely. If the temperature is appropriate, step S25
Move to

In step S25, the humidity at that time is determined. If the humidity is high, the violation determination variable is decremented by -1 (subtraction) in step S26, and the determination is made loosely. If the humidity is low, the process directly proceeds to step S27.

In step S27, the elapsed game time is determined. If the match time is in the second half or overtime,
Move to step S28. In step S28, when the game elapsed time is the second half, the violation determination variable is incremented by +1 (addition). In the case where the match elapsed time is an overtime match, the violation determination variable is incremented by +2 (addition), and each is determined strictly. If the elapsed game time is the first half of the game, the process directly proceeds to step S29.

In step S29, the career of the player (player) to be determined (judgment) is determined. In the case of a player (player) to which attention has been paid before, the violation determination variable is incremented by +1 (added) in step S30, and the determination is made strictly. In the case of the player (player) who is paying attention for the first time, the process directly proceeds to step S31.

In step S31, the violation status of the player (player) at that time is determined. That is, +3 (addition) to the violation determination variable in the case of shoulder charge, +5 (addition) to the violation determination variable in the case of sliding, and +12 (addition) to the violation determination variable in the case of keeper charge. Thereby, each is determined strictly.

In step S32, the value of the violation determination variable that has been added or subtracted up to that point is determined, and the contents of subsequent processing are determined. That is, if the score is 6 or less, the game is continued. In the case of 7 or more points, a free kick is taken. If the score is 10 or more, it is a yellow card. 1
In the case of three or more points, a red card is used. After the content of the subsequent processing is determined, the program ends and the process returns to the main routine (not shown).

As shown in FIG. 5, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the processing in step S32 is intended to continue the match as it is in the case of the home game in the case of the home game, and to indicate that the game is a yellow card in the case of the away game. Differences occur. Also, as shown in FIG. 6, even if the same violation is made, the match is continued as it is in the first half of the game, and an intentional difference occurs in the second half of the game, such as a yellow card.

Although the above embodiment has been described as if there is only one judge, if there are multiple judges, the violation judgment variable is added according to the judgment of each judge. Or it is subtracted, and the judgment of all judges is reflected in the violation judgment variable.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a soccer game has been described. However, what kind of sports, such as baseball, volleyball, martial arts, etc., in which a referee, an officer or the like exists, is available. The present invention can be applied to games.

[0026]

As described above, according to the video game apparatus of the present invention, in a game in which a referee exists, the referee is intentionally biased so that a predetermined player or team becomes advantageous or disadvantageous. Since the judgment is made, it is possible to reproduce the humanity of the judge.
