[Outline of reservation command input system in baseball game]
Here, specific contents of the reservation command input system in the baseball game will be described.

(Hit End Run instruction)
As an example for specifically explaining the reservation command input system, a description will be given below of a case where a hit end run command is instructed when the runner is at 1st and 3rd base.

  As shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 6, when the pitcher character and the batter character are displayed on the television monitor 20, first, when the L2 button 17 </ b> L <b> 2 is pressed, the start of the operation command 80 input is sent to the CPU 7. Be recognized. After the L2 button 17L2 is thus pressed, the CPU 7 does not accept an event start command for starting an event related to the batter character and the runner character, for example, a motion start command for starting a pitching motion by the pitcher character. So that it is regulated. That is, a command for starting a pitching motion of the pitcher character is not accepted by the CPU 7.

  Subsequently, when the triangle mark button 17a and the circle mark button 17b are pressed, the CPU 7 recognizes the operation command 80 corresponding to the input button operated in the reservation command input, that is, the hit end run command. Then, the CPU 7 recognizes an instruction valid period 82 for causing the CPU 7 to execute the hit end run instruction recognized by the CPU 7 for one event. Here, the command valid period 82 is associated with the operation command 80 in advance in the game program.

Subsequently, the execution of the hit end run instruction recognized by the CPU 7 is restricted by the CPU 7. That is, the execution of the hit end run instruction recognized by the CPU 7 is put on hold by the CPU 7, that is, reserved. Then, the restriction of the motion start command for starting the pitching motion of the pitcher character is released. Then, after instructing the pitcher character to issue a pitching command, the CPU 7 accepts the motion start command when an input button for issuing a motion start command, such as an X button, is pressed. Then, based on the motion start command, the CPU 7 causes the pitcher character to start a pitching motion. When the pitcher character starts a pitching motion, the CPU 7 executes a hit end run command reserved for the CPU 7. That is, when the pitcher character starts a pitching motion, the start instruction is instructed by the CPU 7 to the 1st runner character, and the non-start instruction is instructed by the CPU 7 to the 3rd runner character.

  Finally, when the hit end run command is executed by the CPU 7, a moving image in which the first runner character runs toward the second base is displayed on the television monitor 20. At this time, the 3 塁 runner character is displayed on the television monitor 20 while keeping the lead at 3 塁 without starting.

  When the L2 button 17L2, the triangle mark button 17a, and the circle mark button 17b are pressed, the letters “L2”, the triangle symbol, and the circle symbol are sequentially displayed on the lower portion of the television monitor 20. In addition, when all the L2 button 17L2, the triangular mark button 17a, and the round mark button 17b have been pressed, the word “hit end run” is displayed at the bottom of the television monitor 20.

  Note that the input operation for causing the pitcher character to throw and the input operation for causing the batter character to hit the ball thrown by the pitcher character are performed in the same manner as in the prior art.

  In this way, when the hit end run command is recognized by the CPU 7, if the event for each ball of the pitcher character and the batter character is defined as one confrontation event, a send bunt command is reserved and executed for one confrontation event. It has come to be.

(Feed bunt instruction)
As an example for specifically explaining the reservation command input system, a description will be given below of a case where a feed bunt command is instructed when the runner is at 1st and 3rd bases.

  As shown in FIGS. 3, 5, and 6, when the pitcher character and the batter character are displayed on the television monitor 20, first, when the L2 button 17 </ b> L <b> 2 is pressed, the start of the operation command 80 input is sent to the CPU 7. Be recognized. After the L2 button 17L2 is thus pressed, the CPU 7 does not accept an event start command for starting an event related to the batter character and the runner character, for example, a motion start command for starting a pitching motion by the pitcher character. So that it is regulated. That is, a command for starting a pitching motion of the pitcher character is not accepted by the CPU 7.

  Subsequently, when the R1 button 17R1 is pressed, the CPU 7 recognizes the operation command 80 corresponding to the input button operated in the reservation command input, that is, the send bunt command. Then, the command valid period 82 for causing the CPU 7 to execute the send bunt command recognized by the CPU 7 for a plurality of events is recognized by the CPU 7. Here, the command valid period 82 is associated with the operation command 80 in advance in the game program.

  Subsequently, execution of the feed bunt command recognized by the CPU 7 is restricted by the CPU 7. That is, the execution of the send bunt command recognized by the CPU 7 is put on hold by the CPU 7, that is, reserved. Then, the restriction on the motion start command for starting the pitching motion of the pitcher character is released. Then, after instructing the pitcher character to issue a pitching command, the CPU 7 accepts the motion start command when an input button for issuing a motion start command, such as an X button, is pressed. Then, based on the motion start command, the CPU 7 causes the pitcher character to start a pitching motion. When the pitcher character starts a pitching motion, the CPU 7 executes a feed bunt command reserved for the CPU 7. That is, when the pitcher character starts a pitching motion, the bunt command is instructed by the CPU 7 to the batter character, the start command is instructed by the CPU 7 to the first base runner character, and the non-start to the third base runner character. A start command is instructed by the CPU 7.

  Subsequently, when a feed bunt command is executed by the CPU 7, a batter character in a bunt posture is displayed on the television monitor 20. At this time, when adjusting the height of the batter character's bat and the direction in which the ball is bunted with the left stick and causing the batter character to bunt, a video in which the 1st runner character runs toward the 2nd baseball Displayed on the John monitor 20. At this time, the 3 塁 runner character is displayed on the television monitor 20 while keeping the lead at 3 塁 without starting.

  If the batter character's bat height and ball bunting direction are adjusted with the left stick and the batter character is bunted, a foul or no ball hits the bat. A moving image in which the 塁 and 3 塁 runner characters return to 1 塁 is displayed on the television monitor 20.

  Next, the sending bunt command executed by the CPU 7 is in a state where execution of the command is reserved again by the CPU 7. Then, after instructing the pitcher character to issue a pitching command, the CPU 7 accepts the motion start command when an input button for issuing a motion start command, such as the X button, is pressed again. Then, based on the motion start command, the CPU 7 causes the pitcher character to start a pitching motion. When the pitcher character starts a pitching motion, the CPU 7 executes the feed bunt command reserved for the CPU 7 again. That is, when the pitcher character starts the second pitching motion, the bunt command is instructed by the CPU 7 for the batter character, the start command is instructed by the CPU 7 for the 1st runner character, and the 3rd runner character is given. Then, a non-start command is instructed by the CPU 7.

  Subsequently, when a feed bunt command is executed by the CPU 7, a batter character in a bunt posture is displayed on the television monitor 20. At this time, when adjusting the height of the batter character's bat and the direction in which the ball is bunted with the left stick and causing the batter character to bunt, a video in which the 1st runner character runs toward the 2nd baseball Displayed on the John monitor 20. At this time, the 3 塁 runner character is displayed on the television monitor 20 while keeping the lead at 3 塁 without starting.

  Here, if the batter character's bat height and ball bunting direction are adjusted with the left stick and the batter character is bunted, it becomes foul or the ball does not hit the bat. Similarly to the above, the moving image of the runner character is displayed on the television monitor 20.

  Thus, when the feed bunt command is recognized by the CPU 7, the feed bunt command is valid during the command valid period 82, that is, from when the feed bunt command is instructed to when one batter of the batter character ends. In other words, if an event for each ball of the pitcher character and the batter character is defined as one confrontation event, a sending bunt command is executed for a plurality of confrontation events in a reserved state.

  When the L2 button 17L2 and the R1 button 17R1 are pressed, the characters “L2” and “R1” are sequentially displayed on the lower portion of the television monitor 20. Further, when all the L2 button 17L2 and R1 button 17R1 have been pressed, the characters “feed bunt” are displayed at the bottom of the television monitor 20.

  Note that the input operation for causing the pitcher character to throw and the input operation for causing the batter character to hit the ball thrown by the pitcher character are performed in the same manner as in the prior art.

  As described above, when the feed bunt command is recognized by the CPU 7, if the event for each ball of the pitcher character and the batter character is defined as one battle event, the feed bunt command is reserved and executed for a plurality of battle events. It has come to be.

-Base cover command for 2 steals If the L2 button 17L2, the square-marked button 17d, and the right arrow key 17R are pressed before the pitcher character starts the pitching motion, 2 The CPU 7 recognizes an instruction to cause the fielder character to make a 2cm base cover. In addition, if the L2 button 17L2, the square button 17d, and the left arrow key 17L are pressed before the pitcher character starts the pitching motion, when the 1st runner character steals the 2nd base character The CPU 7 recognizes an instruction for covering. In this command, the command valid period 82 is valid for a plurality of battle events.

  When the CPU 7 recognizes the above various instructions, the various instructions are reserved and executed based on the instruction valid period 82 in the same manner as the hit end run instruction or the send bunt instruction.

  If the L2 button 17L2 and the start button 17e are pressed before the pitcher character starts the pitching motion, an operation command 80 reserved for the confrontation event, such as a hit end run command or a send bunt command, is canceled. Is recognized by the CPU 7 (cancel instruction).

[Processing flow when executing a reservation command input system in a baseball game]
The reservation command input system in the baseball game of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  When the input button is pressed while the pitcher character and the batter character are displayed on the television monitor 20, the input signal issued from the input button is recognized by the CPU 7 (S1). Then, the CPU 7 determines whether or not the input signal issued from the input button recognized by the CPU 7 is a predetermined input signal, for example, an input signal from the L2 button 17L2 (S2). If the CPU 7 determines that the first input signal issued from the input button is an input signal from the L2 button 17L2 (Yes in S2), an event start command for starting the event related to the character, such as a pitcher character Acceptance of an input signal from an input button that issues a motion start command for starting a pitching motion is restricted by the CPU 7 (S3). Then, a symbol 101 corresponding to the input signal, for example, the letter “L2” 101 is displayed on the television monitor 20 (S4). When the CPU 7 determines that the first input signal issued from the input button is not the input signal from the L2 button 17L2 (No in S2), Step 1 (S1) is executed again.

  Subsequently, when at least one input button, for example, the R1 button 17R1 is pressed, the CPU 7 recognizes an input signal issued from this input button (S5). Then, a symbol corresponding to the input signal, for example, a character 101 “R1” is displayed on the television monitor 20. Then, the CPU 7 recognizes an operation command 80 such as a feed bunt command corresponding to the plurality of input signals 81 such as the plurality of input signals 81 from the L2 button 17L2 and the R1 button 17R1 (S6). Then, the contents of the operation command 80 corresponding to the plurality of input signals 81, for example, the characters 102 “feed bunt” are displayed on the television monitor 20 (S7). Then, an instruction valid period 82 for causing the CPU 7 to execute the operation instruction 80 recognized by the CPU 7 for a plurality of events is set and recognized in the CPU 7 (S8). Here, the command valid period 82 is associated with the operation command 80 in advance in the game program. For example, a command valid period 82 for a plurality of events is associated with the sending bunt command. Note that the command valid period 82 can be changed to an arbitrary period, and the desired command valid period 82 may be recognized and set by the CPU 7 before the start of the game or before the start of a plurality of events.

  Subsequently, the CPU 7 reserves the CPU 7 to execute the operation command 80 recognized by the CPU 7, for example, the send bunt command (S9). Then, the restriction on accepting an input signal from an input button that issues an event start command, for example, a motion start command, is released by the CPU 7 (S10). When an input button for issuing an event start command such as a motion start command is pressed, an input signal from the input button is recognized by the CPU 7 (S11), and an event start command such as a motion start command is received by the CPU 7 (S12). . Then, based on the event start command received by the CPU 7, an event such as a pitching motion is started (S13). Then, the CPU 7 executes an operation command 80 held by the CPU 7, for example, a send bunt command (S14). Then, based on the motion command 80 executed by the CPU 7, for example, a feed bunt command, characters such as batter characters and runner characters are moved by the CPU 7 (S15).

  Finally, the CPU 7 determines whether or not the command valid period 82 corresponding to the operation command 80 has ended (S16). If the CPU 7 determines that the instruction valid period 82 corresponding to the operation instruction 80 has not ended (No in S16), Step 11 (S11) is executed again. On the other hand, when the CPU 7 determines that the instruction valid period 82 corresponding to the operation instruction 80 has ended (Yes in S16), the CPU 7 recognizes that the execution of the operation instruction 80 executed by the CPU 7 has ended ( S17).
