A drawing command for drawing a stereoscopic image using polygons includes polygon vertex address data indicating the storage position of polygon vertex coordinate data in the display area of the buffer 14, and the storage position of the texture pasted on the polygon 14 in the buffer 14. Is performed on each of the color address data indicating the storage position on the buffer 14 and the color data indicating the texture brightness.
[0062]
Among the above data, the polygon vertex address data on the display area is converted by the graphics data generation processor 3 by performing coordinate conversion of the polygon vertex coordinate data in the three-dimensional space from the CPU 1 based on the movement amount data and the rotation amount data. It is replaced with polygon vertex coordinate data in two dimensions. The luminance data is determined by the graphics data generation processor 3 based on the distance from the position indicated by the polygon vertex coordinate data after the coordinate conversion from the CPU 1 to the light source virtually arranged.
[0063]
The polygon vertex address data indicates an address on the display area of the buffer 14. The drawing processor 10 performs a process of writing texture data corresponding to the display area range of the buffer 14 indicated by the three polygon vertex address data.
[0064]
An object such as a character in the game space is composed of a plurality of polygons. The CPU 1 stores the coordinate data of each polygon in the three-dimensional space in the buffer 14 in association with the corresponding skeleton vector data. Then, when the character is moved on the display screen of the television monitor 21 by the operation of the first controller 19 or the second controller 20 described later, the movement of the character is expressed or the character is viewed. When changing the viewpoint position, the following processing is performed.
[0065]
That is, the CPU 1 obtains the graphics data generation processor 3 from the three-dimensional coordinate data of the vertices of each polygon held in the non-display area of the buffer 14, the skeleton coordinates, and the rotation amount data. Polygon movement amount data and rotation amount data are given.
[0066]
The graphics data generation processor 3 sequentially obtains the three-dimensional coordinate data after moving and rotating each polygon based on the three-dimensional coordinate data of the vertex of each polygon and the movement amount data and rotation amount data of each polygon.
[0067]
Of the three-dimensional coordinate data of each polygon thus obtained, the coordinate data in the horizontal and vertical directions are supplied to the drawing processor 10 as address data on the display area of the buffer 14, that is, polygon vertex address data.
[0068]
The drawing processor 10 writes the texture data indicated by the texture address data assigned in advance on the display area of the buffer 14 indicated by the three polygon vertex address data. As a result, on the display screen of the television monitor 21, an object in which textures are pasted on a large number of polygons is displayed.
[0069]
A drawing command for drawing a normal two-dimensional image indicates vertex address data, texture address data, color palette address data indicating the storage position on the buffer 14 of color palette data indicating the color of the texture data, and luminance of the texture. This is performed on the luminance data. Among these data, the vertex address data is obtained by the coordinate conversion of the vertex coordinate data on the two-dimensional plane from the CPU 1 by the graphics data generation processor 3 based on the movement amount data and the rotation amount data from the CPU 1.

[0108]
In step S1, the CPU 1 controls to display the main select screen on the television monitor 21 and accepts an input of the game mode by the user. The main selection screen will be described later with reference to FIG.
[0109]
In step S2, CPU1 receives selection of the point battle mode by a user. The point battle mode here is a game mode in which a battle game is played between the first user and the second user, and will be described later with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.
[0110]
In step S3, the CPU 1 determines whether or not the first memory 18a installed in the first slot and the second memory 18b installed in the second slot are the same game data.
[0111]
The first memory 18a and the second memory 18b can copy the stored contents by the operating system of the video game apparatus. For example, the first game data can be duplicated by copying the first game data of the first memory 18a installed in the first slot to another card type memory installed in the second slot. . In this way, a battle game is performed using the first game data and the duplicated first game data, and the first game data to which the payout points are awarded as a winner is further duplicated to obtain the first point. Can be increased. Since such an action cannot sufficiently obtain the interest of the video game, the CPU 1 can identify the first identification information for identifying the first memory 18a and the second identification for identifying the second memory 18b. It is necessary to determine whether or not the two pieces of identification information are the same.
[0112]
Here, when it is determined that the game data in the first memory 18a and the game data in the second memory 18b are the same game data, that is, the first identification information and the second identification information are the same. If it is determined that there is (YES in step S3), the process returns to step S1 and the main select screen is displayed again. If it is determined that the game data in the first memory 18a and the game data in the second memory 18b are not the same game data (NO in step S3), the process proceeds to step S4. When it is determined that the first identification information and the second identification information are the same, a message to that effect may be displayed on the television monitor 21.
[0113]
In step S4, the CPU 1 reads out the first game data stored in the first memory 18a and the second game data stored in the second memory 18b, and stores them in the main memory 5. At this time, the first identification information and the second identification information are stored in the main memory 5.
[0114]
In step S5, the CPU 1 controls to display the betting point setting screen on the television monitor 21, and accepts an input of betting points by the first user or the second user. The betting point setting screen will be described later with reference to FIG.
[0115]
In step S6, the CPU 1 sets and accepts a predetermined point input by the first user or the second user as a betting point. The setting of the betting points will be described later with reference to FIG.
[0116]
In step S7, the CPU 1 reads the first intermediate point obtained by subtracting the betting point received in step S6 from the first point from the main memory 5 into the first memory 18a, and subtracts the betting point from the second point. The read second intermediate points are read from the main memory 5 into the second memory 18b and stored.
[0117]
In step S8, the CPU 1 starts a battle game. In this competitive game, the first user operates the first team character using the first controller 19, and the second user operates the second team character using the second controller 20. This is a video game based on soccer. When the winning or losing of the competitive game is determined, the process proceeds to step S9. In the following processing, it is assumed that the first user is a winner and the second user is a loser. In the present embodiment, there is no draw and the winner and the loser are always determined.
[0118]
In step S9, the CPU 1 determines that the first game data in the first memory 18a and the second game data in the second memory 18b are the first game data read into the main memory 5 in step S4, and It is determined whether it is the same as the second game data. That is, the first identification information of the first memory 18a stored in the main memory 5 and the second identification information of the second memory 18b are stored in the first memory 18a currently attached to the video game apparatus. It is determined whether or not the first identification information is the same as the second identification information of the second memory 18b currently attached to the video game apparatus. This is performed, for example, in order to prevent an act of increasing points by exchanging either one of the first memory 18a and the second memory 18b during a battle game. If it is determined that the game data is the same (YES in step S9), the process proceeds to step S11. If it is determined that the game data is not the same (NO in step S9), the process proceeds to step S10.
[0119]
In step S10, the CPU 1 controls to display the warning message screen on the television monitor 21, returns to step S1, and controls to display the main select screen again. The warning message screen will be described later with reference to FIG.
[0120]
In step S <b> 11, the CPU 1 controls to display a payout point acquisition screen on the television monitor 21. The payout point acquisition screen will be described later with reference to FIG.

Is stored in the first memory 18a. The second intermediate point of the second user who is the loser is not changed because it has already been subtracted in step S6.
[0122]
As described above, the first team operated by the first user and the second point bet on the first point given to the first user and the second point given to the second user. Since the battle game is played with the second team operated by the user, the first user and the second user can make the battle game thrilling by betting high points on each other. The interest of the video game is increased as compared with the case where the battle game is played between the user and the second user.
[0123]
Also, instead of subtracting the betting points from the first point and the second point at the end of the competitive game played by the first team and the second team and giving a payout point according to the betting points, Before the start of the match game, the betting points are subtracted from the first point and the second point and stored as the first intermediate point and the second intermediate point. In order to give a payout point to the points or the second intermediate point, for example, the original interest of the game is to prevent a user who has lost at the end of the competitive game from resetting the video game and deducting points. It is possible to prevent an act in which sex is not sufficiently obtained.
[0124]
Next, point change processing by the video game apparatus performed in a battle game between the first team operated by the first user and the second team controlled by the CPU 1 will be described.

[0130]
In step S25, the CPU 1 sets and accepts a predetermined point inputted by the first user as a betting point. The betting points may be preset points or may be set randomly by the CPU 1. In this case, there is no need to perform a process of accepting an input of betting points by the first user in step S24.
[0131]
In step S26, the CPU 1 reads the first intermediate point obtained by subtracting the betting point received in step S25 from the first point from the main memory 5 into the first memory 18a and stores it.
[0132]
In step S27, a battle game is started. The game is based on soccer that progresses when the first user operates the characters of the first team using the first controller 19 and the CPU 1 controls the actions of the characters of the second team. A video game. When the winning or losing of the competitive game is determined, the process proceeds to step S28. In the following processing, it is assumed that the first user is a winner and CPU 1 is a loser. In the present embodiment, there is no draw and the winner and the loser are always determined.
[0133]
In step S28, the CPU 1 determines whether or not the first game data in the first memory 18a is the same as the first game data read into the main memory 5 in step S23. That is, whether or not the first identification information of the first memory 18a stored in the main memory 5 is the same as the first identification information of the first memory 18a currently attached to the video game apparatus. Judging. If it is determined that the game data is the same (YES in step S28), the process proceeds to step S30. If it is determined that the game data is not the same (NO in step S28), the process proceeds to step S29.
[0134]
The processing in step S29 and step S30 is the same as the processing in step S10 and step S11 shown in FIG.
[0135]
