To be done.

The specific operation of the CPU 31 will be described below. The CPU 31 stores a plurality of subroutines as a progress program for each play in the built-in ROM, executes these subroutines one after another, manages the executed subroutines, and calculates the end of the round. Specifically, the CPU 31 controls the pitching switch 6
a switch signal (hereinafter referred to as "pitching signal")
When is input, the subroutine corresponding to the signal is executed. On the other hand, when a sensor signal of the vibration sensor 16 (hereinafter, simply referred to as “sensor signal”) is input, a built-in random function generator generates a predetermined random function (hereinafter, referred to as “random processing”), A subroutine corresponding to the random function value (hereinafter referred to as "function value") is executed.

Next, the specific contents of the above-mentioned subroutine will be explained. In this subroutine, the result of the play when the player swings the bat 1 (for example, "out", "hit") and the like are sounded. That is, the process of causing the speaker 7a to generate a predetermined sound is performed. More specifically, this sound generation processing is performed by the CPU when a BGM (background sound) such as a start melody is sounded.
This is performed by outputting a predetermined pulse signal to the audio amplifier 33a. On the other hand, when a main game sound is produced, the CPU 31 controls the voice synthesis IC. That is, when the CPU 31 outputs the pronunciation information to the voice synthesis IC 32, the voice synthesis IC 32
Generates a sounding pulse signal from the sounding data stored in itself, removes unnecessary frequency components contained in the sounding pulse signal with a built-in digital filter, and then outputs the sound signal to the audio amplifier 33b to output a predetermined sound to the speaker. To pronounce from. It should be noted that it is also possible to output a voice by using one of the CPU 31 and the voice synthesis IC 32.

Subsequently, the CPU 31 manages the executed subroutine. That is, the result of the play is "out"
In the case of, the out count is counted, and when the round ends (three out), "three out" is pronounced.

Next, the operation of the bat 1 will be described with reference to the flow charts shown in FIGS.

First, a description will be given with reference to FIG. When the power switch 5a is turned on (step 41), the CPU 3
1 pronounced "play ball" (step 42)
After that, the start melody is sounded (step 43), and the presence or absence of the input of the pitching signal is monitored (step 44). If there is a pitching signal input,
The CPU 31 sounds "Pitcher thrown" (step 45). If no pitching signal is input, the start music is sounded intermittently, and steps 43 and 44 are repeated. Step 45 described above
After that, the CPU 31 monitors the presence or absence of the input of the sensor signal (step 46). When the sensor signal is input, the CPU 31 sounds "Kaquine" and performs the random process described later (step 47). On the other hand, when there is no sensor signal input, the CPU 31 monitors with an internal timer whether or not 4 seconds have elapsed from the end of the sounding operation in step 45 (step 48), and when 4 seconds have elapsed, "Batter out" is sounded (step 49), and the sensor signal input is monitored while it does not elapse (steps 46 and 48).

Next, step 50 and subsequent steps will be described with reference to FIG. In the random processing of step 47, when the function value is an odd number, for example, the CPU 31 sounds "Waah" and performs the random processing (step 50). As a result, for example, the last two digits of the function value are "0".
In the case of "0, 01", the process of step 52 is performed, when the last two digits are "10", the process of step 56 is performed, and when the last two digits are "11", the process of step 57 is performed. In the above step 52, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the player has three-out after the "taken out" is pronounced (step 53). In the case of three-out, "three out, change" is pronounced. After this (step 54), if it is not three-out, it immediately returns to step 43 and repeats this flow (step 5).
5). Further, the CPU 31 pronounces "hit" in step 56, pronounces "three bass" in step 57, returns to step 43, and repeats this flow (step 55).

On the other hand, when the function value is an even number in the random processing of step 47 described above, the CPU 31
"Big big" is pronounced and random processing is performed (step 51).

In the random processing of step 51, C
For example, when the function value is an odd number, the PU 31 sounds "Waah" and performs random processing (step 58). As a result, for example, the last two digits of the function value are "00".
If the last two digits are "01", the processing of step 56 is performed, and if the last two digits are "10", the processing of step 57 is performed. If the last two digits of the value are "11", "Three bases"
(Step 60), the process returns to step 43, and this flow is repeated (step 55).

On the other hand, when the function value is an even number in the random process of step 51, the CPU 31
After pronouncing "big big" (step 59),
Random processing is performed while sounding "wow" (step 61). As a result, for example, when the last three digits of the function value are "000,001", the processing of step 52 is performed.
If the last 3 digits are "010", the process of step 62 is executed.
If the last 3 digits are "011, 100", the process of step 57 is performed. If the last 3 digits are "101", the process of step 60 is performed. If the last 3 digits are "110, 111", The processing of step 63 is performed respectively. The CPU 31
After performing the same flow as described above in steps 52, 57 and 60, the process returns to step 43 and repeats this flow (step 55).

On the other hand, in step 62, the CPU 3
In No. 1, the pronunciation “taken out, dropped” is performed and random processing is performed. As a result, for example, when the last two digits of the function value are “00, 01”, the processing of step 56 is performed, and the lower two If the digit is "10", the process of step 57 is performed, and if the last two digits are "11", the process of step 60 is performed. In steps 56, 57 and 60, the same flow as described above is performed.

In step 63, the CPU 3
In the case of No. 1, after the pronunciation of "Entered", random processing is performed, and as a result, for example, when the function value is an odd number, "Homerun" is pronounced (step 64) and "waa" is also pronounced. After (step 65), on the other hand, when the function value is an even number, "foul" is sounded (step 66), and then the process returns to step 43 and repeats this flow (step 53).

As described in detail above, according to the bat 1 of the present invention, the game is advanced while swinging the bat 1, so that the player can enjoy the game as if he / she is actually playing baseball.

Furthermore, since the progress of the game and the end of the round are sounded from the speaker 7a, the player can concentrate on the swing, and can feel the sport more.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the applicable sports games are not limited to the above-mentioned baseball games, but can also be applied to other sports games such as tennis, golf, table tennis and gateball, and the pronunciation content is also limited. is not. At this time, the shape of the sports game device can be appropriately changed according to the type of sports game, and the contents of the subroutine can be appropriately changed. In addition, it is also suitable Yichun change situation to output the background sound
