Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game machine and a game, such as a golf game, in which an object is moved on a virtual playing field so that the player can play a game about a game played by the player. Regarding the program.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, so-called computer games have become widespread. The computer game is realized and used not only on a commercial-use game machine, but also on a combination of a home-use game machine and a television receiver, and on a personal computer. As an example of such a computer game, a golf game that simulates golf play, that is, a virtual golfer selects an arbitrary golf club and hits a golf ball on a virtual golf course realized on a computer. Therefore, there is one that advances a simulated golf play.

Generally, in a golf game, a golf game space is formed on the screen by displaying images of a golf course and a golfer on the screen. Then, in accordance with an operation instruction from a player who is a player of the golf game, a golfer in the golf game space is visually operated to hit a golf ball with the golf club of the golfer. As a result, the hit golf ball
In the golf game space, for example, it visually flies in the depth direction. That is, the same thing as golf actually performed by a person is visually performed in the virtual space. As described above, in the golf game in the computer game, a pseudo golf is visually performed by appropriately changing the display image on the screen according to the operation of the player.

In such a golf game, a golfer's action when hitting a golf ball is specified by an operation instruction from a player. That is, which kind of golf club the golf player uses to hit the golf ball, how much power and timing the golf ball hits, etc. are specified by the operation instruction from the player. Then, the flight distance of the golf ball hit by the golfer is calculated by a predetermined calculation based on the identified movement of the golfer. Therefore, the flight distance of the golf ball varies depending on the movement of the golfer, and the player can feel as if he or she is playing golf.

By the way, in a golf game, the flight distance of a golf ball is calculated based on a distance value uniquely determined from the type of golf club, the power exerted by a golfer, and the like. However, if the flight distance is always uniquely determined, the game element will be lacking. Therefore, when calculating the flight distance, it is general to use an error value that is randomly varied within a preset range, not based only on the distance value, and to add an uncertain factor.

[0006]

However, in the conventional golf game, even if a game element is added depending on the error value, the setting range of the error value is fixed, so that it is not always the case that golf is actually performed by a human. It cannot be said that the same feeling is reflected. For example, in golf actually played by humans, as the round continues, the shot may become unstable due to physical fatigue or the like. That is, the uncertainties may increase or decrease depending on the progress of the play. However, in the golf game, since the width of variation of the error value is fixed, the uncertainties do not increase or decrease even if the game progresses, and as a result, the sense of presence may be impaired. Moreover, if the number of uncertainties does not increase or decrease, the game itself tends to become monotonous and less interesting. from these things,
It is possible that the player gets tired and frustrated while repeatedly playing the game.

Therefore, the present invention provides a game machine and a game program which can further increase the interest of the player in the game by increasing or decreasing the uncertain factors according to the progress of the game to change the game. The purpose is to

It is provided with a device and a control device (not shown).

The display device 2 displays an image on the screen. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the display screen. As shown in the figure, the display device 2 displays an image of the golf course 11, which is a virtual competition field, the golfer 12, which is a virtual player, and the golf ball 13 that the golfer 12 moves on the golf course 11. A golf game space is formed on the screen by displaying them. In addition to these, the display device 2 also displays various kinds of information necessary for advancing the golf game. The various information includes information about the golf course 11 (hole number, distance, number of pars, etc.), information about the golfer 12 (life value, golf club type, shot power, etc.), which will be described later, and information necessary for the game. And information (number of bets, number of credits, etc.) regarding medals and the like.

Then, the medium processing device counts and stores the predetermined game media loaded in the media loading port 4, and pays out the game media from the medium payout port 5 as necessary. It should be noted that the mechanism for handling the predetermined game medium may be configured by using a known technique, and therefore its description is omitted here.

The control device manages the progress of the golf game while controlling the operations of the display device 2, the operating device 3 and the medium processing device. Therefore, the control device has a configuration as described below.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic configuration example of the control device. As shown in the figure, the control device 6 includes a CPU 21 mainly composed of a microprocessor and its CP.
ROM 22 and R as main memory for U21
AM 23, graphics processing unit (GPU) 24 for image processing, sound processing unit (SPU) 25 for audio processing, and buffers 26 and 27 for these units 24 and 25, respectively.
And have. Of these, the ROM 22 stores a program necessary for controlling the overall operation of the game machine, that is, a golf game program. By executing this golf game program, the CPU 21 has a function as a moving distance calculating means for calculating the moving distance of the golf ball 13 and an error which is a basis for calculating the moving distance, as will be described later in detail. It has a function as an error range changing means for changing the range according to the progress of the game.

The operation device 3 and the medium processing device 8 are connected via the.

Incidentally, here is a golf game machine 1 for business use.
From the above example, the medium input port 4, the medium outlet 5, and the medium processing device 8 are provided, but these are not necessarily essential. For example, these are not necessary for a home-use golf game machine. You don't have to have it. In the case of a home-use golf game machine, the display device 2 is replaced by a television receiver or a monitor of a personal computer, and the operation device 3 is replaced by a dedicated controller or a keyboard of a personal computer. Further, in the case of a home-use golf game machine, in the control device 6, the ROM does not need to store the golf game program in advance, and it is possible to use a storage medium such as a CD-ROM storing the golf game program. To read this, for example, a CD-ROM reader may be provided.

Next, the procedure of the golf game executed in the golf game machine 1 configured as described above will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of a golf game.

In the commercial golf game machine 1 described in the present embodiment, when a player inserts a predetermined game medium into the medium slot 4 and the medium processing device 8 detects it.
When the control device 6 receives the notification from the medium processing device 8,
Start the progress of the golf game. As a result, for example, an image of the scene where the golfer 12 makes a tee shot is displayed on the display device 2 (see FIG. 2). At this time, the golf player 12 may allow the player to select a desired character from preset ones.
Furthermore, for example, in the upper left part of the display screen, the hole number,
Information such as the distance and par number of the hole is also displayed.

Further, in the control device 6, at the start of the golf game, the CPU 21 first sets an initial value as the life value of the golfer 12 who makes a shot (step 101, the step is hereinafter abbreviated as "S"), and the RAM 23 stores it. The set contents are temporarily stored. Here, the life value corresponds to a physical strength value of the golfer 12 (a numerical value of physical condition, ability, etc.). Therefore, the life value increases or decreases as the game progresses. On the other hand, the initial value of the life value is a physical strength value when the golfer 12 is not exhausting any physical strength, and is a preset fixed value. These values can be easily grasped by the player,
Through the control of the GPU 24 by the CPU 21, near the upper center of the display screen, for example, "current life value / initial value"
It is displayed in a format such as. For example, the initial value is "11
In the case of the golfer 12 who is "1", "111/111" is displayed immediately after the start of the game (see FIG. 2). If there are a plurality of characters, it is assumed that an initial value is set for each character. For example, the initial value of a female character is smaller than that of a male character.

After setting the initial value as the life value of the golfer 12, the golfer 12 causes the player to select the type of golf club to be used for the shot (type such as driver, wood, iron, putter and the like).
That is, in the control device 6, the CPU 21 determines the type of golf club to be used by the golfer 12 for a shot, according to the input content of the operating device 3 operated by the player (S102), and the RAM 23 temporarily stores the determination result. Remember. C for selected golf club
Through the control of the GPU 24 by the PU 21, the image is displayed in the lower left portion of the display screen together with the flight distance of the golf ball reachable by the golf club (see FIG. 2). In other words, the reachable flight distance is uniquely determined by the type of golf club.

After determining the type of golf club, C
The PU 21 determines the error range of the flight distance of the golf ball (S103), and the RAM 23 temporarily stores the determination result. The flight distance error range is a range to which an error value for adding an uncertain factor as a variation factor to the flight distance of the golf ball belongs.

By the way, in golf actually played by humans, the more difficult the golfer is in making a shot, the more uncertain factors that influence the result of the shot. For example, the lie (the state where the golf ball is placed), the type of golf club, the weather,
When it is difficult for golfers to exhaust their physical strength,
It is often the case that the golfer is not able to perform well. Therefore, if the error range of the flight distance is determined in consideration of these things, it is considered that even more realistic game contents can be realized in the golf game.

Therefore, when determining the error range of the flight distance, the CPU 21 recognizes the lie and the weather in the golf game space, the type of golf club selected by the player, and the like, and based on this information. .
It is assumed that a unique correspondence relationship is predetermined between these pieces of information and the value of the error range of the flight distance to be determined. Further, in addition to these pieces of information, the CPU 21 also has an error width depending on the life value (current life value) of the golfer 12 in order to reflect the degree of exhaustion of the golfer 12 in the determination result of the error range of the flight distance. To base. The error width will be described in detail later. And
The error range of the flight distance determined in this way (for example, 8
0% to 90%), so that the player can easily understand,
It is displayed in the lower right part of the display screen through the control of the GPU 24 by the CPU 21 (see FIG. 2).

After determining the golf club type and the error range, the golfer 12 then causes the player to select the target reaching point of the golf ball 13 when making a shot.
That is, in the control device 6, the CPU 21 determines the target point of the shot by the golfer 12 according to the input content of the operation device 3 operated by the player (S10).
4) The RAM 23 temporarily stores the determination result.
The target point may be determined by arbitrarily moving the target point display on the display screen to the player.

After determining the target point, the golfer 12 then causes the player to select the power and timing for making a shot. That is, in the control device 6, the CPU 21 determines the power and timing of the shot by the golfer 12 according to the input content of the operating device 3 operated by the player (S105), and the RAM 2
3 temporarily stores the decision result. At this time, the power and timing are determined using a power gauge. The power gauge is displayed near the center of the lower part of the display screen (see FIG. 2), and displays the power and timing of the shot in the form of a graph.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing a specific example of the power gauge. The power gauge displays the shot power value from 0% to 100% and the best shot timing point on the gauge. Therefore,
While watching the power gauge, the player operates the push button switch of the operation device 3 to cause the golf player 12 to make a shot. However, at the time of a shot, the player depresses the push button switch of the operation device 3 three times in total. The first press down corresponds to the shot start operation,
The second depression corresponds to the power determination operation, and the third depression corresponds to the shot timing determination operation.

More specifically, by pressing down the first time, as shown in FIG.
As shown in (a) to (c), the cursor 31 on the power gauge starts moving from the 0% position to the left, for example, at a constant speed. The player monitors the position of the cursor 31 and performs the second depression at the desired power position. For example, when the player desires a shot with 80% power, the second pressing is performed when the cursor 31 reaches the position near 80% of the power gauge. As a result, the shot power value is determined.

Then, when the second depression is performed,
As shown in FIG. 5 (d), the cursor 31 starts returning at a constant speed in the opposite direction (direction of 0%), and goes beyond the 0% position unless the player performs the third depression. Proceed to the specified right end. The vicinity of the right end of this power gauge is a region for determining the shot timing,
One point (for example, 0% position) is defined as the best shot timing point. Aiming at this best timing point, the player pushes down for the third time. When the third push down matches the best timing point, the golf ball flies straight, and if it is late or early with respect to the best timing point,
In response to this, the golf ball will turn left and right and fly. That is, the timing of the shot (the direction in which the golf ball flies) is determined by the third depression.

As described above, it is necessary for the player to press down a total of three times for one shot, and the CPU 21 determines the power and timing of the shot by the golfer 12 in accordance with the result of pressing down a total of three times. decide. It should be noted that it is conceivable that the CPU 21 side appropriately determines the power and timing of the shot when the player does not press down the push button switch or when the pressing timing is not appropriate.

Returning to FIG. 4, when the power and timing of the shot have been determined, subsequently, in the control device 6, the CPU
21 calculates the flight distance of the golf ball 13 by the shot (S106). The flight distance is calculated based on the golf club type determination result, the shot power determination result, and the flight distance error range determination result stored in the RAM 23. That is, not only the distance value that is uniquely determined from the operation of the golfer 12 at the time of a shot, such as the golf club type and shot power, but also the error value that randomly varies within the error range is taken into consideration, Calculate the distance.

Specifically, it is possible to calculate the flight distance of the golf ball 13 as described below. First, the maximum flight distance value and the minimum flight distance value are obtained based on the reachable flight distance determined by the type of golf club, the shot power, and the upper and lower limits of the error range of the flight distance. For example, when the reachable distance is 100 yards, the shot power is 80%, the upper limit of the error range is 90%, and the lower limit of the error range is 80%, the maximum flight distance value is 100 ×.
0.8 x 0.9 = 72 yards, minimum flight distance value is 1
00 x 0.8 x 0.8 = 64 yards. Then, when the maximum flight distance value and the minimum flight distance value are obtained, any one of the distance values belonging thereto is randomly selected by using a random number. Thereby, for example, any one value between 64 and 72 yards is specified as the calculation result of the flight distance of the golf ball 13.

When the flight distance of the golf ball 13 is calculated,
After that, the CPU 21 controls the GPU 24 so that the calculated distance traveled on the display screen of the display device 2 corresponds to the direction specified from the shot timing, and the golf ball moves toward the determined target point. 13 is moved (S107). As a result, the golf player 12 makes a single shot on the display screen.

When the golfer 12 hits the golf ball 13 and moves the golf ball 13 in response, the CPU 21
The life value of the golfer 12 is subtracted (S10
8). Therefore, the life value of the golf player 12 decreases with each hit. Moreover, the subtracted value differs depending on the place where the golf ball 13 flies. For example,
If the place where the golf ball 13 stops is a fairway, the subtraction value is "-1", if it is rough, it is "-3", if it is a bunker, it is "-5", and if it is OB, it is "-10". is there. Further, it is possible to make the subtraction value different not only by the place where the golf ball 13 flies, but also by other factors (for example, weather conditions). And
When the CPU 21 subtracts the life value, the RAM 23 updates the stored contents of the life value and the GPU 2
4 updates the display content about the life value. As a result, the life value after subtraction is displayed as the "current life value" on the display screen.

By the way, the life value of the golf player 12 is
Not only decreases with each shot, it may increase in some cases. For example, it is a case where the golfer 12 acquires a life recovery item (a nutritional supplement food, a nutritional drink, etc.). The life recovery item can be acquired at a predetermined timing (for example, at the end of half) in the progress of the game. The player is allowed to select whether to acquire the life recovery item. That is, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the golfer 12 has acquired a life recovery item while following the input content on the operation device 3 operated by the player (S109). Then, as a result of this determination, when the life recovery item is acquired, the CPU is replenished by a predetermined amount according to the type of the life recovery item.
21 increases the life value, RAM 23 updates the stored contents of the life value, and tries to recover the "current life value" (S110). At this time, the player may be requested to insert a new predetermined game medium into the medium insertion port 4. That is, it is conceivable that the golfer 12 can acquire a life recovery item and recover the life value on condition that a new predetermined game medium is input.

From the above, it can be said that the life value of the golf player 12 changes depending on the progress of the game. More specifically, the life value is Golfer 1
A variation corresponding to the virtual physical strength and the degree of fatigue (depletion level) of 2 or the calculation result of any one of them, and the variation that greatly affects the game development by changing according to the progress status of the game. It can be said to be a factor.

After increasing or decreasing the life value in this way, the CPU 21 updates the error width depending on the life value, and temporarily stores the update result in the RAM 23 (S111). The error width is one of the parameters for determining the error range of the flight distance, and is for specifying the width (size) of the error range. However, the margin of error is
It depends on the life value (current life value) of the golfer 12 in order to reflect the degree of exhaustion of the golfer's physical strength in the determination result of the error range of the flight distance. That is, as the life value decreases, the error width correspondingly increases. For example, if the current life value is 100% of the initial value, the error margin at that time is 10%, but if the current life value is 20% of the initial value, the error margin at that time is 40%, and so on. Note that the correspondence between the life value and the error width is set in advance.

After updating the error width according to the life value, the CPU 21 thereafter determines whether or not a predetermined unit (for example, a round of 18 holes) in the game progress has ended (S112), and if it has not ended. , The above-mentioned processing is repeated from the determination of the golf club type again (S
102-S112).

However, in the process to be performed again, the life value is increased / decreased and the error width is updated accordingly, so that
The error range of the flight distance determined using the error width as one of the parameters is also different from that in the processing already performed (S103). That is, the error range of the flight distance changes according to the progress of the game for each shot of the golf player 12, like the life value of the golf player 12. For example, if the current life value is 100% of the initial value, the error range of the flight distance is 80 to 90% (error width 10%).
However, if the current life value is 20% of the initial value,
The error range of the flight distance is 50 to 90% (error width of 40%).

Therefore, the variation range of the flight distance of the golf ball 13 calculated based on the error range is also variable. For example, when the reachable distance determined by the type of golf club is 100 yards and the shot power is 80%, and the error range of the flight distance is 80 to 90%, as described above, the flight distance is 64 to 72 yards. The calculation result of the distance is specified, but the error range of the flight distance is 50 to 9
When it is 0%, the variation of the flight distance calculation result becomes large, such as 40 to 72 yards. That is, the uncertainties for the shot of the golf player 12 increase or decrease depending on the progress of the game.

When the processing of a predetermined unit such as a round of 18 holes is completed, the golfer 12's performance in the predetermined unit and the number of bets on the predetermined game medium set before the game starts are determined. Then, the medium processing device 8 pays out a predetermined game medium from the medium payout outlet 5.

As described above, according to the golf game machine 1 described in this embodiment or the golf game program that realizes the golf game described in this embodiment, the error range of the flight distance depends on the progress of the game. Variable,
For example, the width of the error range increases as the game progresses,
A great variation may occur in the calculation result of the flight distance of the golf ball 13. That is, the uncertain factor regarding the flight distance of the golf ball 13 increases or decreases depending on the progress of the game. Therefore, for example, when the golfer 12 continues the round, the shot becomes unstable due to the influence of physical fatigue and the like, and it becomes possible to express the situation in which the golf ball 13 cannot be sufficiently driven depending on the degree of exhaustion of the physical strength. Therefore, from a player's point of view, the player can feel the reality as if he or she is actually playing golf, and the interest is increased. Moreover, depending on the progress of the game, the variation range of the flight distance of the golf ball 13 changes depending on the increase or decrease of the uncertain factors, so that the game that tends to be monotonous can be changed. In other words, the monotony of the game can be suppressed, so that the player does not feel tired and dissatisfied while repeatedly enjoying the game.

Further, according to the golf game machine 1 or the golf game program according to the present embodiment, the error range of the flight distance is varied based on the life value corresponding to the physical strength value of the golfer 12, so that the shot is caused by physical fatigue. You will be able to properly express the situation of becoming unstable. Furthermore, since the life value displayed on the display screen is used as a basis, the player can cause the golfer 12 to make a one-shot gambling shot, or have the golfer 12 spurt, for example, by tactics with that life value. It becomes possible to measure the timing to make it. That is, the strategic enjoyment of the golf game can be further increased.

Further, according to the golf game machine of this embodiment, the game is started on condition that the predetermined game medium is inserted into the medium slot 4, and the medium payout port 5 is opened in accordance with the result of the end of the game. Since the predetermined game medium is paid out, the player's interest in the game can be surely enhanced. Moreover, if the life value is restored on condition that the predetermined game medium is inserted into the medium input port 4, the error range of the flight distance can be varied depending on the state of the predetermined game medium being inserted, so that the game can be played. From a person's point of view, the game feels more changed, but from the side of the game arcade where the golf game machine 1 is installed, the introduction of a predetermined game medium into the game machine can be promoted.

In the present embodiment, the golf game realized mainly on the commercial golf game machine 1 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a home-use dedicated machine and a television are used. Needless to say, the same can be realized on a combination of image receivers and on a personal computer.

In the present embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to the flight distance of a golf ball in a golf game has been described as an example. However, the application of the present invention is not limited to this, and other various It can be applied to games. For example,
The same applies if the player moves a moving object on a virtual playing field, such as throwing games such as discus and shot putting, casting in archery games, fishing games, and batting in baseball games. It is possible to do it. That is, a sports simulation game characterized by simulating sports can be applied in exactly the same way.

[0051]

As described above, according to the game machine and the game program of the present invention, the setting range for the error value can be changed according to the progress of the game.
The uncertain factor about the moving distance of the moving object in the game space also increases or decreases according to the progress of the game. This makes it possible to represent a realistic situation in which the distance traveled varies depending on the degree of fatigue of the athlete. Therefore, it is possible to give a change to the game and increase the fun, and it is possible to further increase the interest of the player in the game.
