Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is a target game machine that hits a ball against a number of differently moving targets and adds points, and more specifically, when a plurality of targets fall down and satisfy a predetermined condition, they are woken up again. The present invention relates to a method for controlling a rising operation of a target.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The present applicant has already proposed a composite carnival game machine (Japanese Patent Application No. 7-294751) in which different types of target games are combined as target game machines for defeating a plurality of targets.
In many hitting game machines of this type, when the ball hits the target, the target falls until the game is over, and rises when the game is started again. Therefore, once the target falls down, another target must be aimed at, and the interestingness is not sufficient.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In addition, in a game machine in which a fallen target can be raised again during the game, a new mechanism part must be added as a rising mechanism, which is expensive and its contents can be easily changed. Could not do.
An object of the present invention is to provide a method for controlling a rising motion of a target that can easily change the difficulty level of the game without changing the mechanism by waking up when a fallen target satisfies a certain condition during the game. It is to provide.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problems, a method for controlling a rising motion of a target according to the present invention is a method for controlling the rising of a target of a target game machine having a plurality of targets that can be lifted freely. A sensor for detecting, a driving unit driven by a motor to cause a fallen target, and a control unit are provided. The plurality of targets are divided into a plurality of groups, and the control unit defeats a predetermined number of targets in a group. When the sensor detects that the target has fallen down within a group by the driving means after a predetermined time, and the predetermined number of targets or the predetermined time As shown in FIG.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a target game machine to which a target rising motion control method according to the present invention is applied.
It should be noted that only a part of the net for preventing the jumping out of the balls on the front left and right of the game field F is displayed, and the other side is visible without displaying the majority. In this embodiment, the game is advanced along one story.
[0006]
In FIG. 1, 1 is a coin slot, and 2 is a 7-segment time display section. Reference numeral 3 denotes a ball thrown toward the target during the game. In this embodiment, the ball is a vinyl ball equivalent to a tennis ball.
4 is one of the targets, and in this embodiment is the boss character's over. 5 is one of other types of targets, which in this embodiment is a devil. Reference numeral 6 denotes still another type of target, which is a bat in this embodiment. Reference numeral 7 denotes a 7-segment score display section. Reference numeral 9 denotes a game over display section for informing the end of the game. Reference numeral 10 denotes a prize discharge display section for informing the prize discharge. Reference numeral 11 denotes a prize selection button for selecting a desired prize from among prizes visible in the prize display window 12.
[0007]
FIG. 2 is a view of only the game field of FIG. 1 as viewed from the front, and shows an example of the movement of each target. 4a in the figure indicates that the target (over) 4 is about to be hidden (or about to appear). Reference numeral 5a denotes a halfway (or halfway up) of the target (devil) 5. 6a has shown the place where the target (bat) is rotating.
The target (devil) 5 falls backward when the ball 3 hits it. If you meet certain conditions after a while, you can get up and play any number of times during the game.
[0008]
FIG. 3 is a rear view of the devil character, and FIG. 4 is a side view of the devil character.
Support plates 16 a, 16 b and 16 c are attached to the drive shaft 14. Rollers 17a, 17b and 17c are rotatably attached to the tips of the support plates 16a, 16b and 16c. The drive shaft 14 is driven by a motor to raise the fallen characters 5a, 5b and 5c.
The sensors 15a, 15b and 15c are for detecting that the devils 5a, 5b and 5c hit the ball and fall down.
[0009]
A control unit (not shown) drives a drive circuit (not shown) to drive the drive shaft 14 to cause a devil when each of the sensors 15a, 15b and 15c detects that, for example, two devils have fallen. .
Since the devil can be freely raised at any time by the motor as described above, the difficulty level can be adjusted by the number of times the target is raised in the game.
If you get up immediately after a target falls, targeting is easier because there are more targets than if you do not get up. Therefore, the difficulty can be changed by adjusting the rising time.
[0010]
The target rising condition can be set as follows.
This is an example in the case where there are a plurality of target groups.
1) Wake up when a certain amount of time has passed since one of the target of a groove (one group of three devils in FIG. 3) fell down. In this case, the difficulty level becomes low.
2) When all the targets in the group have fallen, wake up after a predetermined time. The difficulty can be changed by the length of this time (the longer the time, the higher the difficulty).
Furthermore, if the target of all groups is credit, or after a predetermined time has elapsed since the collapse target of all groups, it is possible to have a width of difficulty by making Okiagara targets for all groups .
[0011]
FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the target rising operation according to the present invention.
The control unit monitors whether or not a predetermined number of targets have fallen (step (hereinafter referred to as “S”) 401). If the predetermined number of targets falls, it is next determined whether or not a predetermined time has passed (S402). When the predetermined time has elapsed, a predetermined number of targets are raised (S403).
[0012]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the present invention is a method for controlling the rising of a target of a target game machine having a plurality of freely rising targets, and is driven by a motor that detects that the target has hit a ball and falls. And a drive means for causing a fallen target, and a control means, dividing the plurality of targets into a plurality of groups, and when the control means detects that a predetermined number of targets have fallen in a certain group by the sensor, Control is performed so that the fallen target in the group is raised by the driving means after a predetermined time, and the predetermined number of targets or the predetermined time can be adjusted as a rising condition of the target.
Therefore, compared with the conventional game machine, there is an effect that the difficulty level of the game can be easily adjusted without changing the mechanism portion.
