Since the determination process is executed by changing the determination condition to be determined, the hit probabilities differ, so that the game can be made more interesting.

An embodiment according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 1, the simulated gun 1 according to the present embodiment has a relatively short barrel 2 and a base 3 extending behind the barrel 2.

A gun handle 4 extends under the rear part of the barrel 2, and a trigger 5 is provided at the base of the gun handle 4.
A support grip 6 protrudes downward at a position somewhat behind the tip of the barrel 2.

The barrel 2, the stock 3, the gun handle 4, etc. are integrally constituted by a gun casing 1 a formed in a left and right half.
1 to 3 show the half gun casing 1a and its internal structure.

A lens 10 is fitted into the tip of the barrel 2, a photo sensor 11 is disposed behind the lens 10, and a signal processing board 12 is disposed behind the photo sensor 11.
The photo sensor 11 detects the light passing through the lens 10 and the signal processing board 12 processes the signal.

The trigger 5 is supported slidably forward and backward together with the slider 15 and is urged forward by a spring 16.
A trigger switch 17 which is a limit switch located above the slider 15 is disposed so that its operating contact 17a is operated by the protrusion 15a of the slider 15.

  That is, when the trigger 5 is pulled, the slider 15 slides backward against the spring 16 together with the trigger 5, and the protrusion 15a of the slider 15 operates the operating contact 17a to turn on the trigger switch 17.

  The signal lines extending from the signal processing board 12 and the signal lines extending from the trigger switch 17 are bundled in a bundle and extend from the bottom of the gun handle 4 to the outside as a cable 18.

  A shoulder rest member 7, which is a pad for a player to stably support the simulated gun 1, is pivotally supported by a pin 8 at the rear end portion of the stock base 3, and is swingably mounted back and forth. It can swing between an indirect impact position at the end and a direct impact position in front of it.

  Inside the stock 3, a rod 20, which is a sliding member oriented in the front-rear direction, is slidably supported by a pair of front and rear support members 24, 25, and is fixed to the rear end of the rod 20. The connecting member 22 and the upper end portion of the shoulder rest member 7 are connected by a pin 26.

  A shock-receiving member 21 made of urethane rubber is integrally fixed to the front end of the rod 20, the shock-receiving member 21 is located at the front portion of the gunstock 3, and the rod 20 is a shock-receiving member 21, which moves back and forth integrally. The buttstock 3 including the connecting member 22 is disposed in the full longitudinal length.

A flange 23 is fixed to a position slightly rearward of the receiving member 21 of the rod 20.
A stopper member 27 is fixed to the gun casing 1a below the flange 23.
The stopper member 27 is a receiving means for receiving an impact, and a concave portion 27a is formed at an upper end edge, and the flange 23 of the rod 20 faces the concave portion 27a.

  Therefore, sliding of the rod 20 is restricted within a range in which the flange 23 can move in the recess 27a of the stopper member 27.

  A compression spring 28 is interposed between the connecting member 22 and the support member 25 at the rear end of the rod 20 to urge the rod 20 rearward, so that no external force is applied as shown in FIG. Thus, the flange 23 comes into contact with the rear surface of the concave portion 27a of the stopper member 27, the rod 20 stops at the rearmost position, and the shoulder rest member 7 swings to the indirect impact position at the rear end.

When the shoulder rests on the rear shoulder support member 7 of the stock 3, the shoulder support member 7 swings to the front direct impact position around the pin 8, and the rod 20 resists the compression spring 28 as shown in FIG. And slide forward.
The rod 20 can be moved forward until the flange 23 comes into contact with the front surface of the concave portion 27a of the stopper member 27.

  A protrusion 20a that is long in the front and rear and has a flat trapezoidal shape in side view is formed at the lower center of the rod 20, and a shoulder switch 29 that is a limit switch is disposed below the protrusion 20a.

  When the rod 20 is in the rearmost position (the shoulder impact member 7 is the indirect impact position at the rear end), the shoulder contact switch 29 is switched off when the operating contact 29a comes into contact with the slope on the front side of the trapezoidal projection 20a. When the rod 20 moves forward and the shoulder rest member 7 is directly located at the impact position, the operating contact 29a rides on the lower surface of the protrusion 20a and is switched on.

  That is, when the player does not put his shoulder against the shoulder rest member 7 at the rear of the stock 3, the flange 23 of the rod 20 contacts the stopper 27 as shown in FIG. When the player is in the switch-off state at the rearmost position and the player puts his shoulder against the shoulder rest member 7 at the rear of the stock 3, the flange 23 of the rod 20 moves away from the stopper 27 as shown in FIG. Moves forward and is switched on so that it can be detected that the player has placed his shoulder against the shoulder rest member 7.

  Signal lines extending from the shoulder switch 29 are gathered together in the cable 18 and extend from the bottom of the gun handle 4 to the outside.

The mechanism related to the rod 20 described above is in the stock 3 and an electromagnetic solenoid 30 and its drive circuit board 36 are disposed in front of the stock 3 and above the gun handle 4.
The drive circuit board 36 is not necessarily arranged in the simulated gun 1 but may be arranged in the game machine main body.
The electromagnetic solenoid 30 has a solenoid body 30a around which a coil is wound and a plunger 31 coaxial with the rod 20 slidably passes in the front-rear direction.

In the plunger 31, a flange 32 is fitted in the vicinity of the front end, and a compression spring 34 is interposed between the flange 32 and the solenoid body 30a to urge the plunger 31 forward.
In front of the plunger 31, an impact receiving member 35 made of urethane rubber is fixed at a predetermined position.

  Therefore, when the electromagnetic solenoid 30 is not excited, the plunger 31 is urged forward by the compression spring 34 and is in contact with the stopper rubber 35 (state shown by a solid line in FIGS. 2 and 3).

A weight member 33 is integrally fixed to a rear end portion of the plunger 31 protruding rearward from the solenoid main body 30a.
The weight member 33 faces the impact receiving member 21 at the front end of the rod 20.

  Therefore, when the electromagnetic solenoid 30 is excited by the drive current supplied by the drive circuit board 36, the plunger 31 protrudes backward against the urging force of the compression spring 34. Therefore, the weight member 33 at the rear end of the plunger 31. Collides with the receiving member 21 at the front end of the rod 20.

  When the player does not put his shoulder against the shoulder support member 7 at the rear part of the stock 3, the rod 20 is in the rearmost position with the flange 23 abutting against the rear surface of the recess 27a of the stopper member 27 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the weight member 33 at the rear end of the plunger 31 collides with the receiving member 21 at the front end of the rod 20 in such a state, as indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG.

Therefore, the impact caused by the collision of the weight member 33 to the rod 20 via the impact receiving member 21 is transmitted from the flange 23 to the entire gun casing 1a via the stopper member 27, and the reaction to the simulated gun 1 is caused. You can get a real shooting sensation.
In this case, the shoulder rest member 7 not in contact with the shoulder and in the indirect impact position is indirectly impacted by the impact of the entire gun casing 1a.

  Further, when the player puts his shoulder against the shoulder rest member 7 at the rear of the stock 3, as shown in FIG. 3, the rod 20 is moved forward from the rear surface of the recess 27a of the stopper member 27. Therefore, the weight member 33 at the rear end of the plunger 31 collides with the impact receiving member 21 at the front end of the rod 20 in this state, as indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG.

Therefore, the impact caused by the collision of the weight member 33 with the rod 20 via the impact receiving member 21 is directly transmitted to the shoulder support member 7 connected to the rear end of the rod 20 and directly felt by the player's shoulder. The impact is transmitted to the player's shoulders as if they were rebounding from live-fire.
The more the position at which the shoulder rests on the shoulder rest member 7 (the direct impact position of the shoulder rest member 7) is in front, the closer the rod 20 is to the weight member 33, and the greater the impact.

  When the electromagnetic solenoid 30 is excited by passing a current through the coil for only one pulse, there is one impact and the player can feel the reaction of a single shot. Exciting can cause multiple impacts and feel the recoil of machine guns and automatic rifles.

An overall perspective view of a shooting game apparatus 40 using the simulated gun 1 is shown in FIG.
A display 42 for displaying an image is fitted on the front surface of the upper half of the casing 41, and a coin insertion slot 44 and a start button 45 are disposed on the console 43 swelled in front of the display.

  The simulated gun 1 is provided separately from the casing 41, and a cable 18 extending from the gun handle 4 of the simulated gun 1 extends into the casing 41.

A control circuit board 50 is built in the housing 41, and a schematic block diagram of a control system of the control circuit board 50 is shown in FIG.
The control circuit board 50 includes a CPU block 51, a video block 61, and a sound block 65.

  The CPU block 51 is a control unit that manages the entire shooting game apparatus 40, and includes a CPU 52, a main memory 53, a ROM 54, a bus aviator 55, and the like.

The bus aviator 55 can control transmission and reception of data by allocating a bus occupation time to devices connected to each other via a bus.
The CPU 52 is a central processing unit that performs control using the main memory 53 as needed in accordance with a control program stored in the ROM 54, and controls the progress of the game.

  The video block 52 includes a VDP (Video Display Processor) 62, a graphic memory 63, and a video encoder 64.

The VDP 62 reads necessary image data from the image data stored in the graphic memory 63, performs image processing according to information necessary for image display supplied from the CPU 52, and outputs image data to be displayed to the video encoder 64.
The video encoder 64 converts the input image data into a predetermined television signal such as the NTSC system and outputs it to the display 42 for image display.

  The sound block 65 includes a sound processor 66, a sound memory 67, and a D / A converter 68.

The sound processor 66 reads the audio data stored in the sound memory 67 based on the command data supplied from the CPU 52, performs various effect processing, and outputs the audio data to be generated to the D / A converter 68.
The D / A converter 68 converts the input audio data into an analog signal and outputs it to the speaker 69 to generate audio.

The CPU 52 performs processing of signals from the simulated gun 1 and drive control of the electromagnetic solenoid 30 as part of the game progress control.
That is, the CPU 52 inputs the signal detected by the photosensor 11 and processed by the signal processing board 12 and the operation signal from the trigger switch 17 and the shoulder switch 29 via the bus arbiter 55 and processes them, and the electromagnetic solenoid 30 A control signal is output to the drive circuit board 36 via the bus aviator 55 to control the drive.

The photo sensor 11 detects the scanning light on the display 42 at a predetermined period when the trigger 5 is operated and the trigger switch 17 is turned on and during the on state, and the signal processing board 12 outputs the detection pulse.
The CPU 52 obtains the aiming position (XY coordinate position) on the display 42 to which the barrel of the simulated gun 1 is directed based on the detection pulse, clock signal, horizontal synchronization signal, vertical synchronization signal, and the like from the photosensor 11.

  In addition to detecting the scanning light on the display 42, infrared light emitted from the periphery of the display can be detected, and the aiming position on the display 42 can be obtained by other methods.

  The control circuit board 50 performs arithmetic processing for arranging the target object in the object space, hit check processing, arithmetic processing for generating an image from an arbitrary viewpoint in the object space, and the like based on input data from the simulated gun 1.

In the hit check processing, when the trigger 5 is operated and the trigger switch 17 is turned on, and the target position on the display 42 obtained from the detection pulse by the photosensor 11 at a predetermined period is set in advance for the target object. If it is within the hit range, it is determined as hit, and if it is outside the hit range, it is determined as missed.
That is, the hit determination is made based on whether or not the aiming position on the display 42 is within the preset hit range of the target object.

The video block 61 stores a game image reflecting the player's operation information in the graphic memory 63 every 1/60 seconds.
For example, if the resolution of the display 42 is 640 × 480 (VGA), the graphic memory 63 can store the pixels (one screen).

Specifically, the target model arranged in the virtual three-dimensional space is converted into a coordinate system viewed from the viewpoint (camera viewpoint) arranged in the virtual space, and projected onto the perspective projection plane of the viewpoint coordinate system 2 Two-dimensional image data is generated, and the two-dimensional image data is stored in the graphic memory 63.
This two-dimensional image data includes a target.

The control circuit board 50 calculates the coordinate value on the display 42 that the player is aiming at in the real space based on the signal from the photosensor 11.
Then, the coordinate position (address) on the graphic memory 63 corresponding to the coordinate value on the display 42 aimed by the player is compared with the coordinate position on the graphic memory 63 of the previous target, and the target position and The control circuit board 50 determines whether the target position matches or does not match.

If it is determined that the exact match is a hit, the game is quite difficult.
In addition, a predetermined range having a target position on the graphic memory 63 may be set as the hit range.

  In addition, a predetermined range of the target position is set as the hit range, and the target position on the graphic memory 63 is controlled to be shifted by a predetermined distance with a predetermined probability, and the hit probability can be changed by changing the predetermined probability. .

In the shooting game apparatus 40, control for changing the hit determination condition according to how to handle the simulated gun 1, that is, control for changing the size of the target object hit range in the present embodiment is performed.
The control flow is shown in FIG.

  It is determined whether or not the player puts his / her shoulder on the shoulder rest member 7 of the stock 3 of the simulated gun 1, that is, whether or not the shoulder rest switch 29 is turned on (step 1). To go to step 3, set the hit range to the standard size, and if it is in the ON state, go to step 3 to set the hit range larger.

  That is, when a player shoots without placing a shoulder on the shoulder rest member 7 of the stock 3 of the simulated gun 1, the hit range is a standard size, but when the player places a shoulder on the shoulder rest member 7 and shoots Because the range of hits expands, the hit rate increases, and the player feels the same realistic feeling as if the hit rate is improved when the actual gun is handled and the base is put on the shoulder and the gun is stabilized Can be obtained.

  The driving pattern for driving the electromagnetic solenoid 30, that is, the recoil pattern by shooting, can be changed depending on whether or not the player puts his shoulder on the shoulder rest member 7 of the stock 3 of the simulated gun 1.

  As long as the trigger 5 is pulled, the simulated gun 1 excites the electromagnetic solenoid 30 by flowing a plurality of pulse currents, and can feel the recoil of machine gun shooting due to multiple impacts. An example of changing the reaction pattern by changing the drive cycle of the electromagnetic solenoid 30 is shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  It is determined whether or not the player is placing a shoulder on the shoulder rest member 7 of the stock 3 of the simulated gun 1, that is, whether or not the shoulder rest switch 29 is on (step 11). Then, the driving cycle is set to a standard size, and if it is in the ON state, the processing proceeds to step 13 and the driving cycle is set shorter.

  That is, when a player shoots without placing his shoulder on the shoulder support member 7 of the stock 3 of the simulated gun 1, he can feel the reaction of shooting when bullets are fired in a standard cycle. When shooting with the shoulder against the member 7, it is possible to feel the recoil of the shooting when the bullet is fired with a shorter period.

Therefore, the player feels that shooting with a shoulder against the shoulder support member 7 feels that the number of bullets fired per unit time has increased and the probability of hitting has increased. Can have.
If the hit determination by the photosensor 11 is performed at the same cycle as the actually set drive cycle, the probability of hit is actually increased.

In addition, various patterns for driving the electromagnetic solenoid 30 can be set depending on whether or not the player is shouldering the shoulder rest member 7 of the stock 3 of the simulated gun 1.
For example, when the player does not place a shoulder against the shoulder rest member 7 of the stock 3 of the simulated gun 1, while the trigger 5 is being pulled, it is treated like a machine gun by giving a shock of multiple shots, and the shoulder rest When the member 7 is put on the shoulder, it can be handled like a rifle by giving a single shooting impact by one pull of the trigger 5.

  In the above embodiment, the electromagnetic solenoid 30 as the contact means protrudes the plunger 31 integrally having the weight member 33 so as to collide with the impact receiving member 21, but the motor is eccentric. The weight member may be rotated to collide with the impact receiving member 21.
