  More specifically, the image adjustment unit 57 causes the CPU 7 to recognize the movement direction of the controller 25 based on the acceleration data recognized by the CPU 7, and causes the CPU 7 to recognize a base point for adjusting the image based on the movement direction. A function for causing the CPU 7 to execute a process of adjusting the image according to the distance between the position of the image and the base point is provided. Further, the image adjustment unit 57 causes the CPU 7 to execute a process of calculating the number of movements of the controller 25 based on the acceleration data recognized by the CPU 7, and causes the CPU 7 to recognize the base point for adjusting the image based on the number of movements. The CPU 7 has a function of causing the CPU 7 to execute a process of adjusting the image according to the distance between the image position and the base point.

  In the image adjusting unit 57, the movement direction of the controller 25 is recognized by the CPU 7 based on the acceleration data recognized by the CPU 7. Then, the CPU 7 recognizes a base point for adjusting the image based on the moving direction. Then, the CPU 7 executes a process of adjusting the image according to the distance between the image position and the base point. In the image adjusting unit 57, the CPU 7 executes a process for calculating the number of movements of the controller 25 based on the acceleration data recognized by the CPU 7. Then, the CPU 7 recognizes the base point for adjusting the image based on the number of times of movement. Then, the CPU 7 executes a process of adjusting the image according to the distance between the image position and the base point.

  In this means, for example, when the acceleration data detected by the acceleration sensor is recognized by the CPU 7, the CPU 7 executes a process of calculating the speed data based on the acceleration data and the time interval data. Here, the CPU 7 executes the process of integrating the acceleration data using the time interval data, so that the speed data is calculated by the CPU 7. Then, the CPU 7 executes processing for comparing the speed data with the specified speed data stored in the RAM 12. The moving direction of the controller 25 is recognized by the CPU 7 based on the comparison result between the speed data and the specified speed data.

  For example, when the speed data Vy is larger than the specified speed data (Vyo = 0.0) (Vy> Vyo), the movement direction of the controller 25 is upward. Further, when the speed data Vy is smaller than the specified speed data (Vyo = 0.0) (Vy <Vyo), the movement direction of the controller 25 is downward. Similarly, when the speed data Vx is larger than the specified speed data (Vxo = 0.0) (Vx> Vxo), the movement direction of the controller 25 is rightward. Further, when the speed data Vx is smaller than the specified speed data (Vxo = 0.0) (Vx <Vxo), the moving direction of the controller 25 is leftward.

  The prescribed speed data for comparison with the above-described speed data is speed data prescribed in advance in the game program, and is stored in the RAM 12.

  Then, the position coordinate data for the base point for defining the base point for adjusting the image based on the moving direction is recognized by the CPU 7. That is, a base point for adjusting the image based on the moving direction is set in the game space.

  For example, when the moving direction of the controller 25 is upward, the base point is set to the left of the frame corresponding area in the game space. When the movement direction of the controller 25 is downward, the base point is set to the right of the frame corresponding area in the game space. Similarly, when the moving direction of the controller 25 is rightward, a base point is set below the frame corresponding area in the game space. When the movement direction of the controller 25 is leftward, the base point is set above the frame corresponding area in the game space.

  Here, the base point set in the game space is set at a position defined in advance in the game program when the moving direction when the controller 25 starts moving is recognized. Position coordinate data indicating this position is stored in the RAM 12, and this position coordinate data is recognized by the CPU 7 as position coordinate data for the first base point.

  Then, based on the speed data calculated based on the acceleration data, the CPU 7 executes a process of calculating the number of times the controller 25 has moved, for example, the number of times the controller 25 has been shaken (the number of times the controller 25 has been shaken). Then, the calculated number of swings is recognized by the CPU 7 as swing number data.

  For example, the number of times the sign of the continuous speed data has changed is calculated by the CPU 7 and recognized by the CPU 7. Specifically, the CPU 7 executes a process of multiplying each of two consecutive speed data. Then, the number of times when the value of the processing result becomes a negative value is recognized by the CPU 7 as the number-of-times data.

  Here, an example in which the number of swings is calculated by multiplying each of two consecutive speed data is shown, but the calculation mode of the number of movements is not limited to the above embodiment, and how Also good. For example, by calculating the number of times the speed data has become zero, the CPU 7 may recognize this number as the number of swings.

  This number-of-times data is calculated when each speed data is recognized by the CPU 7 and is recognized by the CPU 7. Then, when the CPU 7 recognizes the number-of-times data, the CPU 7 recognizes the position coordinate data for the nth base point for defining the base point. Here, the symbol “n” is a positive natural number of 2 or more.

  For example, when the CPU 7 recognizes the number-of-times data, the CPU 7 executes a process of moving the first base point corresponding to the position coordinate data for the first base point to the frame corresponding region side. Specifically, every time the number of swings increases, the CPU 7 executes a process of moving the first base point by a predetermined amount to the frame corresponding region side. Here, for example, the CPU 7 executes a process of subtracting a predetermined value (a value obtained by multiplying the number of swings by a constant) from the number of the position coordinate data corresponding to the moving direction of the first base point. Thereby, the position coordinate data for the nth base point is calculated, and the position coordinate data for the nth base point is recognized by the CPU 7. The above constant is a value defined in advance in the game program, and is stored in the RAM 12.

  Then, the CPU 7 executes processing for adjusting the image according to the distance between the image position and the base point. That is, the image is adjusted according to the distance between the position of the image and the base point.

  For example, the CPU 7 executes a process for calculating the distance between the position of the image and the base point based on the position coordinate data for the image and the position coordinate data for the base point. Then, the CPU 7 executes a process of calculating an adjustment ratio for adjusting the image based on the distance data indicating the distance between the position of the image and the base point. Based on the adjustment ratio, the CPU 7 executes a process for adjusting an image, for example, a process for enlarging image data. Then, this image data is stored in the RAM 12.

  The image redisplay unit 58 has a function of redisplaying the adjusted image on the television monitor 20 using the image data. The image redisplay means 58 redisplays the adjusted image on the television monitor 20 using the image data.

  In this means, for example, the adjusted image is displayed on the television monitor 20 using the image data stored in the RAM 12 at the position indicated by the position coordinate data for the image. For example, the adjusted image is redisplayed on the television monitor 20 by causing the CPU 7 to issue a command to arrange the image data at the position indicated by the position coordinate data for the image.

  The acceleration data recognition end means 59 has a function of causing the CPU 7 to recognize an acceleration data recognition end signal from the controller 25 when the controller 25 is operated to end the acceleration data recognition. In the acceleration data recognition end means 59, when the controller 25 is operated to end the recognition of acceleration data, the CPU 7 recognizes an acceleration data recognition end signal from the controller 25.

  In this means, for example, when the controller 25 is operated to end the recognition of acceleration data, the CPU 7 recognizes an acceleration data recognition end signal corresponding to this operation. Specifically, when a predetermined button of the controller 25 is operated to end the recognition of acceleration data, an acceleration data recognition end signal is issued from the controller 25, and this acceleration data recognition end signal is recognized by the CPU 7. The Then, the process for recognizing acceleration data is ended by the CPU 7.

[Processing flow and explanation of image adjustment system in baseball game]
Next, an image adjustment system in a baseball game will be described. A flow related to the image adjustment system shown in FIG.

  First, when the game machine is turned on and the game machine is activated, the baseball game program is loaded from the recording medium 10 into the RAM 12 and stored. At this time, various basic game data necessary for executing the baseball game are loaded from the recording medium 10 into the RAM 12 and stored (S1).

  For example, the basic game data includes image data for a three-dimensional game space, and image data for a three-dimensional game space stored in the RAM 12, such as stadium image data and player character image data. Are recognized by the CPU 7. The basic game data includes position coordinate data for arranging the image data for the three-dimensional game space in the three-dimensional game space, and the position coordinate data is also recognized by the CPU 7.

  Subsequently, the baseball game program stored in the RAM 12 is executed by the CPU 7 based on the basic game data. Then, a selection screen for selecting a team, selecting a player character, and the like is displayed on the television monitor 20. On this selection screen, the controller 17 is operated to select a team and a player character.

  Subsequently, a command for starting a game in the baseball game (game start command) is issued from the CPU 7 (S2). Then, the image data for the three-dimensional game space stored in the RAM 12 is recognized by the CPU 7. Then, various images are displayed on the television monitor 20 by causing the CPU 7 to issue a command to place the image data for the three-dimensional game space at the position indicated by the position coordinate data for the player character in the game space. (S3).

  For example, stadium image data or the like is recognized by the CPU 7. Then, the stadium image is displayed on the television monitor 20 using the stadium image data. Specifically, the stadium image is displayed on the television monitor 20 by causing the CPU 7 to issue a command to arrange the stadium image data at the position indicated by the stadium position coordinate data in the game space.

  One of the player characters of the team instructed by the player (team team) and the team instructed by another player or the AI program (Artificial Intelligence program) (opposite team) is placed at the defensive position. This state is displayed on the television monitor 20 using the image data for the player character. In addition, a state in which the other player character of the teammate player character and the opponent team player character is arranged at the bat position is displayed on the television monitor 20 using the image data for the player character.

  For example, in the game space, an image for the player character is displayed on the television monitor 20 by causing the CPU 7 to issue a command to arrange the image data for the player character at the position indicated by the position coordinate data for the player character. . Here, an image for the player character of a portion corresponding to the frame of the television monitor 20 in the game space (frame corresponding region F) is displayed on the television monitor 20.

  The frame corresponding area F used in each event of the baseball game is defined in advance in the game program. The position coordinate data indicating the position of the corner for defining the frame corresponding area F is stored in the RAM 12, and is recognized by the CPU 7 as needed at each event of the baseball game.

  As described above, when the various types of images as described above are displayed on the television monitor 20, when the button of the controller 25 is operated to adjust the image, the controller 25 generates an acceleration data recognition start signal. This acceleration data recognition start signal is issued and recognized by the CPU 7. Then, the CPU 7 waits for the acceleration data G supplied from the controller 25. That is, the process of recognizing the acceleration data G can be started in the CPU 7 (S4).

  In this state, when the controller 25 is moved, the acceleration data G detected by the sensor of the controller 25 in conjunction with the movement of the controller 25 is continuously recognized by the CPU 7 (S5). For example, when the controller 25 is moved upward or downward, the acceleration data G is detected by the acceleration sensor in conjunction with this movement. Similarly, when the controller 25 is moved to the right or left, the acceleration data G is detected by the acceleration sensor in conjunction with this movement. Then, the acceleration data G detected by the acceleration sensor is recognized by the CPU 7 via a communication unit (not shown).

  At this time, the time interval when the acceleration data G is detected by the acceleration sensor is recognized by the CPU 7 as the time interval data dt. Here, assuming that the time interval at which the acceleration data G is detected by the acceleration sensor is a known amount, the time interval data dt stored in advance in the RAM 12 is used.

  By causing the CPU 7 to recognize the acceleration data G in this way, the CPU 7 executes processing for adjusting an image based on the acceleration data G.

  For example, when the acceleration data G (Gx, Gy, Gz) detected by the acceleration sensor is recognized by the CPU 7, as shown in FIG. 3, it is based on the acceleration data G (Gx, Gy, Gz) and the time interval data dt. Then, the CPU 7 executes processing for calculating the speed data V (Vx, Vy, Vz) (S6). Here, the CPU 7 calculates the speed data V (Vx, Vy, Vz) by causing the CPU 7 to execute a process of integrating the acceleration data G using the time interval data dt.

  Then, the CPU 7 executes a process of comparing the speed data V (Vox, Voy, Voz) with the specified speed data Vo (Vox, Voy, Voz) stored in the RAM 12. Then, based on the comparison result between the speed data V (Vx, Vy, Vz) and the specified speed data Vo (Vox, Voy, Voz), the movement direction of the controller 25 is recognized by the CPU 7 (S7).

  Here, the movement direction is recognized based on the numerical value assigned to the movement direction data I indicating the movement direction. For example, when the movement direction is upward, the CPU 7 assigns a numerical value “1” to the movement direction data I. When the movement direction is downward, the CPU 7 assigns a numerical value “2” to the movement direction data I. Similarly, when the movement direction is rightward, the CPU 7 assigns a numerical value “3” to the movement direction data I. When the moving direction is leftward, the CPU 7 assigns a numerical value “4” to the moving direction data I. Based on the value of the moving direction data I, the moving direction is recognized.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 4, when the y-direction component Vy of the speed data is larger than the y-direction component Vyo (= 0.0) of the specified speed data (Vy> Vyo), the movement direction of the controller 25 is upward and the movement A numerical value “1” is assigned to the direction data I by the CPU 7. When the y direction component Vy of the speed data is smaller than the y direction component Vyo (= 0.0) of the specified speed data (Vy <Vyo), the movement direction of the controller 25 is downward, and the movement direction data I includes a numerical value “ 2 ”is assigned by the CPU 7.

  Similarly, as shown in FIG. 4, when the x-direction component Vx of the speed data is larger than the x-direction component Vxo (= 0.0) of the specified speed data (Vx> Vxo), the moving direction of the controller 25 is rightward. The movement direction data I is assigned a numerical value “3” by the CPU 7. When the x direction component Vx of the speed data is smaller than the x direction component Vxo (= 0.0) of the specified speed data (Vx <Vxo), the moving direction of the controller 25 is leftward, and the moving direction data I is a numerical value. “4” is assigned by the CPU 7.

  Then, the position coordinate data for the base point for defining the base point K1 for adjusting the image based on the moving direction is recognized by the CPU 7 (S8).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 5, when the CPU 7 recognizes a value “1” as the value of the movement direction data I, the movement direction of the controller 25 is upward, and the first is to the left of the frame corresponding area F in the game space. The base point K1 is set. When the CPU 7 recognizes the value “2” as the value of the movement direction data I, the movement direction of the controller 25 is downward, and the first base point K1 is set to the right of the frame corresponding area F in the game space. .

  Similarly, as shown in FIG. 5, when the CPU 7 recognizes a value “3” as the value of the movement direction data I, the movement direction of the controller 25 is rightward, and the second direction is below the frame corresponding area F in the game space. One base point K1 is set. When the CPU 7 recognizes the value “4” as the value of the movement direction data I, the movement direction of the controller 25 is leftward, and the first base point K1 is set above the frame corresponding area F in the game space. .

  In this way, the first base point K1 in the game space is in any one of the left, right, upper, and lower directions of the frame corresponding area F according to the direction in which the controller 25 first moves. Is set. Note that the position coordinate data for defining the first base point K1 in the game space is stored in the RAM 12 in advance. Therefore, here, the position coordinate data is recognized by the CPU 7 as the position coordinate data for the first base point. That is, the set position of the first base point K1 in the game space is defined according to the moving direction of the controller 25.

  Then, based on the speed data V calculated based on the acceleration data G, the CPU 7 executes a process of calculating the number of movements of the controller 25, for example, the number of times the controller 25 is shaken (the number of times of swinging) (S9). For example, when the speed data V is recognized by the CPU 7, a process of multiplying each of the two consecutive speed data V is executed by the CPU 7. Then, when the value of the processing result becomes a negative value, the CPU 7 executes a process of incrementing the value of the number-of-times data S by “1”. Then, the numerical value as the processing result is recognized by the CPU 7 as the value of the number-of-times data S.

  Then, the CPU 7 determines whether or not the value of the number-of-times data S is “1” or more (S10). Then, when the value of the number-of-times data S is “1” or more (Yes in S10), the process of moving the first base point K1 corresponding to the position coordinate data for the first base point to the frame corresponding region F side Is executed by the CPU 7. For example, when the value of the number-of-times data S increases by “1”, the CPU 7 executes a process of moving the first base point K1 by a predetermined amount to the frame corresponding area F side. Here, the CPU 7 executes a process of subtracting a predetermined value (a value obtained by multiplying the value of the number-of-times data S by the constant T) from the number of the position coordinate data corresponding to the moving direction of the first base point K1. Thereby, the position coordinate data for the nth base point is calculated, and the position coordinate data for the nth base point is recognized by the CPU 7 (S11).

  Specifically, when the movement start direction of the controller 25 is upward or downward, a predetermined value (a value obtained by multiplying the number-of-times data S by a constant T) is calculated from the number of the x component of the position coordinate data for the first base point. Is subtracted. As a result, position coordinate data (| K1x−S · T |, K1y, K1z) for the nth base point is calculated, and the position coordinate data for the nth base point is recognized by the CPU 7 (see FIG. 5). , K1-> K2-> K3-> ...). Similarly, when the movement start direction of the controller 25 is rightward or leftward, position coordinate data (K1x, | K1y−S · T |, K1z) for the nth base point is calculated, and this nth base point is calculated. Position coordinate data is recognized by the CPU 7.

  As described above, the first base point K1 moves to the frame corresponding area F side according to the number of times the controller 25 is shaken (the number of times of shake).

  In the process of subtracting a predetermined value (a value obtained by multiplying the value of the number-of-times data S by the constant T) from the number of the position coordinate data corresponding to the direction in which the first base point K1 moves, The sign of the position coordinate data corresponding to the direction in which the base point K1 moves is not changed, and only the number of the position coordinate data corresponding to the direction in which the first base point K1 moves changes.

  For example, when the position coordinate data for the first base point is (K1x, K1y, K1z), the position coordinate data for the nth base point is described as (| K1x−h · T |, K1y, K1z). The When the position coordinate data for the first base point is (−K1x, K1y, K1z), the position coordinate data for the nth base point is (− | K1x−h · T |, K1y, K1z). Described. Similarly, when the position coordinate data for the first base point is (K1x, K1y, K1z), the position coordinate data for the nth base point is described as (K1x, | K1y−h · T |, K1z). Is done. If the position coordinate data for the first base point is (K1x, −K1y, K1z), the position coordinate data for the nth base point is (K1x, − | K1y−h · T |, K1z). Described.

  On the other hand, when the value of the number-of-times data S is less than “1”, that is, when the value of the number-of-times data S is “0” (No in S10), it corresponds to the position coordinate data for the first base point. The process of moving the first base point K1 to the frame corresponding area F side is not executed. That is, the process of step 12 described later is executed.

  As described above, when the position coordinate data for the base point is recognized by the CPU 7, processing for adjusting the image according to the distance between the position of the image and the base point is executed by the CPU 7 (S12).

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, description will be given by taking as an example the case where the moving direction of the controller 25 is downward and the base point K is set to the right of the frame corresponding area F in the game space. The base point K shown in FIG. 6 indicates any one of the first base point K1 and the nth base point Kn.

  For example, first, the CPU 7 executes a process of calculating a first distance Lyo of a straight line connecting two corners A1 and A2 (both ends of the right side) on the base point K side that defines the frame corresponding region F. Then, the first distance data indicating the first distance Lyo is recognized by the CPU 7. Then, the CPU 7 executes a process for calculating the second distance Lxo from the base point K to the straight line. Then, the CPU 7 recognizes the second distance data indicating the second distance Lxo. Then, by using the first distance data indicating the first distance Lyo and the second distance data indicating the second distance Lxo, the angle α formed by the base point K and one of the two corners A1 and A2 is calculated. Processing to be executed is executed by the CPU 7. Here, the angle α formed by the base point and the corner portion on the base point side is calculated by using the expression “α = arctan (Lyo / (2 · Lxo))”.

  Next, the CPU 7 executes a process for calculating an adjustment ratio h used when adjusting the image. Here, the CPU 7 calculates the adjustment ratio h (= Ly1 / Lyo) for adjusting the image at the position indicated by the position coordinate data for the image.

  For example, the CPU 7 executes a process of calculating the third distance Lx1 between the image position Z and the base point K based on the image position coordinate data and the base point position coordinate data. Then, the third distance data indicating the third distance Lx1 is recognized by the CPU 7. Then, the CPU 7 executes a process of calculating the fourth distance Ly1 'corresponding to the angle α at the position Z indicated by the position coordinate data for the image. Then, the fourth distance data indicating the fourth distance Ly1 ′ (= Ly1 / 2) is recognized by the CPU 7. The CPU 7 executes a process of calculating the adjustment ratio h by using the third distance data indicating the third distance Lx1, the fourth distance data indicating the fourth distance Ly1 ', and the angle α. Here, the adjustment ratio h is calculated by using the equation “h = Ly1 / Lyo = (2 · Lx1 · tan α) / Lyo; α = arctan (Lyo / (2 · Lxo))”.

  Then, based on the adjustment ratio h, the CPU 7 executes a process for adjusting an image, for example, a process for enlarging image data. For example, the CPU 7 executes a process of enlarging the image data corresponding to the image used for calculating the adjustment ratio h, for example, the image for the player character, according to the adjustment ratio h. Specifically, the CPU 7 executes a process of expanding the image data for the player character, that is, the coordinate data constituting the polygon data for the player character according to the adjustment ratio h. Here, the image for the player character is adjusted by causing the CPU 7 to execute a calculation for multiplying the coordinate data of the polygon data by the adjustment ratio h.

  Here, an example in which the controller 25 first moves downward has been shown, but the adjustment ratio h can be calculated in the same manner as described above even when the movement direction of the controller 25 is other than downward. it can. Further, the position coordinate data for the base point used when obtaining the adjustment ratio h in the above-described form is the position coordinate data of the base point K after the base point K is moved according to the number of movements (the number of times of movement) of the controller 25. Is used. Further, the above processing is executed for all images in the frame corresponding area F.

  When the image is adjusted in this manner, the adjusted image is displayed again on the television monitor 20 using the image data (S13). For example, the image enlarged by the adjustment ratio h at the position indicated by the position coordinate data for the image is displayed again on the television monitor 20 using the image data stored in the RAM 12. Here, first, when the first base point K1 is set, the image is adjusted, and the adjusted image is displayed again on the television monitor 20. Next, when the base point moves from the position of the first base point K1 to the position of the second base point K2, the image is adjusted again, and the adjusted image is displayed again on the television monitor 20. As described above, when the base point sequentially moves from the position of the first base point K1 to the position of the nth base point Kn, the image is displayed again on the television monitor 20 in conjunction with the movement of the base point.

  Then, when the button of the controller 25 is operated in order to end the adjustment of the image, an acceleration data recognition end signal is issued from the controller 25, and this acceleration data recognition end signal is recognized by the CPU 7. Then, the CPU 7 enters a state where the acceleration data G supplied from the controller 25 is rejected. That is, the process for recognizing the acceleration data G is terminated in the CPU 7.

  Then, the CPU 7 determines whether or not a plurality of events related to the game are executed by the CPU 7 and a command for ending the game (game end command) is issued (S14). When a game end command is issued (Yes in S14), various processes necessary to end the game are executed by the CPU 7 (S15). On the other hand, when the game end command is not issued, that is, when the game end command is not recognized by the CPU 7 (No in S14), various images are continuously displayed on the television monitor 20 in the event related to the game.

  In the present embodiment, for example, when the above-described image adjustment is performed when the first image and the second image are displayed on the television monitor 20, the adjustment of the first image on the base point K side is performed. The value of the adjustment ratio h2 of the second image on the side away from the base point K is larger than the value of the ratio h1. That is, the further away the image is from the base point K, the greater the value of the adjustment ratio h.

  For this reason, when the player is located at a position deviating from the position facing the image display unit, the player moves the controller 25 in a desired direction so that the image displayed on the image display unit is displayed. It can be adjusted so that it can be easily seen.
