In FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus has a program data storage device or recording medium (including an optical disk and an optical disk drive) 1 in which data associated with the program of the present invention and a program for program execution is stored.

  Further, in the information processing apparatus, the CPU 2 as the control means performs control of the entire system, coordinate calculation for image display, and the like in the execution of the program.

  In the system memory 3, the program of the present invention necessary for the CPU 2 to perform processing and data attached thereto are read from the program data storage device or the storage medium 1 and temporarily stored. The boot (BOOT) ROM 20 stores a startup program necessary for starting the information processing apparatus.

  Further, the bus arbiter 40 controls the flow of program data with each block of the information processing apparatus and with external devices. The rendering processor 41 reproduces video (MOVIE) data read from the program data storage device or the storage medium 1, and generates an image for image display in accordance with a player's operation or game progress.

  Graphic data and the like necessary for the rendering processor 41 to generate an image are stored in the graphic memory 5. The sound processor 7 reproduces the music data read from the program data storage device or the storage medium 1, and generates sound effects and sounds according to the player's operation and game progress.

  Next, the program according to the present invention stored in the program data storage device or the recording medium 1 of the information processing apparatus as described above is a game program that executes a game simulating sports, and an embodiment of control by the program is described below. This will be described below.

  Next, it is an object of the present invention to provide a game program for controlling the execution of a game that can give a player the same feeling as when performing an actual sport, and an information processing apparatus using the same. An embodiment in the case of a game will be described below.

  According to the present invention, when a player operates a batter character displayed on the display monitor 6 in a baseball game, the opponent player or the information processing apparatus side displays and operates the pitcher (pitcher) character according to a program. The baseball game is controlled in anticipation of the type of ball to be thrown to give a more realistic feeling.

  FIG. 2 is an example of an image displayed on the display monitor 6 of the baseball game to which the present invention is applied. Character images of the pitcher 50 and the batter 51 are displayed. In addition to the character display of the ball 52, an arrow indicating the direction of the ball, that is, the type of the ball, is shown around it.

  FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the ball 52 and the arrow indicating the type of the ball. Spherical arrows will be described. S represents a straight ball, R represents a right curve, L represents a left curve, D represents a fork (falling ball), Rd represents a right slider, and Rl represents a left slider.

  FIG. 4 is an example of a controller 8 provided in a control console (not shown) attached to an information processing apparatus that controls execution of a game program that simulates baseball. As will be described later, it has a joystick (direction key) 80 for predicting and selecting a pitching pitch type of a pitcher which is a character displayed on the display monitor 6, and controlling a cursor position, and a lever 81 for hitting a ball.

  The right half and the left half of the controller 8 have the same specifications, and two people can execute a baseball game. In that case, a pitcher which is a character on which one player is displayed is operated, and a batter which is a character on which the other player is displayed is operated. When playing a baseball game alone, for example, a pitcher, which is a character to be displayed, is operated by a program of an information processing device, and a player operates a batter, which is a character to be displayed. Done.

  FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 are process flows for explaining the control features of the program in the baseball game according to the present invention, which is performed using the controller 8 provided on the console (not shown).

  In FIG. 5, when the game program is started, the strike zone SZ and the cursor CS set in the batting area displayed on the display monitor 6 are displayed as shown in FIG. 7 (processing step P30).

  A player who operates the character of the pitcher operates the direction key 80 of the controller 8 to select and input the ball type that the pitcher is to throw (processing step P31). Selection of the pitching pitch type of the pitcher at this time is input by tilting the direction key 80 in the direction corresponding to the arrow indicating the surrounding ball type shown in FIG. At this time, the selected ball type to be thrown is not displayed on the display monitor 6.

  On the other hand, the player who operates the batter predicts the ball type to be thrown by the selected pitcher and similarly operates the direction key 80 to input the ball type (processing step P32).

  The above process is performed by the program until the pitcher starts a pitching operation (processing step P33).

  Next, when the pitcher starts pitching according to the program (processing step P33, Yes), the CPU 2 determines whether or not the pitching type of the pitcher matches the ball type predicted by the batter-side player according to the program (processing step). P34). This coincidence determination can be made, for example, by comparing the parameter for specifying the ball type thrown by the pitcher with the parameter for specifying the ball type expected by the player in the CPU 2.

  When the pitch type thrown by the pitcher and the ball type predicted by the batter player match, the CPU 2 stores data for displaying a cursor CS having a shape corresponding to the ball type predicted by the player operating the batter Alternatively, it is read from the storage medium 1 and sent to the DSP 4 to perform image processing. Thereby, the deformed cursor CS is displayed (processing step P35). On the other hand, if they do not match, the data for displaying the cursor CS is not changed, and the circular cursor CS shown in FIG. 7 is not deformed (processing step P36).

  In the processing step P35, as a condition for deforming the shape of the cursor CS so as to correspond to the ball type, the pitcher pitch type of the pitcher and the ball type expected by the batter-side player have been described. After the pitcher starts throwing, control may be performed so that the shape of the cursor CS corresponding to the ball type predicted by the batter-side player is unconditionally changed.

  An example of the shape of the cursor CS is shown in the figure. FIG. 8A shows a cursor shape when the ball is not deformed. FIG. 8B shows a cursor shape when a slider sphere in the right direction is expected. The shape of the cursor CS is enlarged in the right direction in which the ball flows. FIG. 8C shows a cursor shape in the case where a slider sphere in the left direction is expected. The shape of the cursor CS is enlarged in the left direction in which the ball flows.

  The processing continues from the flow of FIG. 6, and the player operating the batter character operates the direction key 80 to predict the direction in which the ball will come and moves and changes the position of the cursor CS (processing step P37).

  This is shown in FIGS. FIG. 9 shows a case where a slider sphere in the right direction is expected, and the cursor CS is deformed as shown in FIG. 8B, but the position is not changed.

  FIG. 10 shows a state in which the cursor CS has been moved further to the lower right from the state shown in FIG. In FIG. 11, the cursor CS is deformed and further moved leftward as shown in FIG. 8C. FIG. 12 shows a state in which the cursor CS is not deformed but is moved to the upper left.

  Here, the movement control of the display position of the cursor CS is performed as follows. When the player inputs using the joystick 80, the CPU 2 detects this. Then, the detected movement amount data of the cursor CS is sent from the CPU 2 to the DSP 4. In the DSP 4, the display coordinates of the cursor CS are updated according to the movement amount data. Thereby, the cursor CS having the previously determined shape is displayed at the updated display position.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 6, it is then determined whether or not the batter character has swung the bat (processing step P38).

  Here, the lever 81 in the controller 8 is always in the upper position shown in the figure. When giving a motion to swing the bat, the player rotates the lever 81 to the right within an angle of 180 degrees and releases the lever 81 from the position. This operation gives the bat shaken state. As shown by an arrow on the left side of the controller 8 in FIG. 4, the lever 81 is rotated and returned from the lower side to the upper side by a return spring mechanism or the like.

  The hitting strength is given as one parameter of the hitting process in the program execution by the angle at which the player rotates the lever 81 to the right within the range of 180 degrees.

  If it is determined that the player has not yet performed an operation of swinging the bat against the batter character (No in process step P38), and if the ball has passed the strikeable distance (Yes in process step P39), the strike-out is performed. Processing is performed (processing step P41).

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the player has performed an operation of swinging the bat with respect to the batter character (processing step P38, Yes), it is determined whether or not the ball has reached the strikeable distance (processing step P40). . When the ball has not reached the hittable distance (No in process step P40), the strike-out process is similarly performed (process step P41).

  Here, the hittable distance means a lapse of a predetermined time from the time when the ball is thrown.

  Furthermore, when the ball has reached the hittable distance (processing step P40, Yes), it is determined whether or not the ball is in the cursor (processing step P42). If the ball is not within the cursor (No in process step P42), the strike-out process is performed (No in process step P42, No. process step P41). If the ball is in the cursor (processing step P42, Yes), a hitting process is performed (processing step P43).

  As the hitting process, the CPU 2 detects parameters such as the strength of hitting according to the rotation angle of the lever 81, the position of the cursor CS, and in which position in the cursor CS the ball has entered, and the detected parameter A process preset as program data corresponding to the combination is executed. Since the content of the hitting process is not directly related to the features of the present invention, detailed description thereof is omitted.

  Here, the program according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described golf game and baseball game, and can also be applied to a simulation game for sports that handle other balls.

  For example, a penalty kick in a soccer game can be incorporated into the game.

  In the baseball game described above, this can be processed in the same manner as the procedure in which the player predicts the pitch type and selects the shape and movement position of the cursor CS.

  FIG. 13 is an example screen of a penalty kick displayed on the display monitor 6 in the soccer game.

  In FIG. 13A, a kicker K and a goalkeeper GK character are displayed, and the player predicts in advance the ball type of the soccer ball B kicked by another player or kicker K operated according to the program. The display of the shape and position of the cursor CS that enables the ball catching is controlled by matching or mismatching of this prediction with the ball type of the soccer ball B kicked by the kicker K.

  The ball type selection prediction of the soccer ball B is input using the controller 8 in the same manner as described above for the baseball game.

  13B and 13C are diagrams showing the relationship between the cursor CS displayed corresponding to the ball type selected by the player and the ball B kicked by the kicker K character.

  The CPU 2 determines whether or not the ball type predicted by the player matches the ball type kicked by the set kicker K according to the program. This coincidence determination can be made, for example, by comparing the parameter specifying the ball type kicked by the kicker K with the parameter specifying the ball type predicted by the player in the CPU 2.

  When the ball type kicked by kicker K matches the ball type predicted by the goalkeeper player, the CPU 2 displays a cursor CS having a shape corresponding to the ball type predicted by the player who operates the goalkeeper GK. Data to be read is read from the storage device or storage medium 1 and sent to the DSP 4 for image processing. Thereby, the deformed cursor CS is displayed. On the other hand, if they do not match, the data regarding the sphere type displaying the cursor CS is not changed, and the cursor CS is not deformed.

  In FIG. 13B, the ball type predicted by the goalkeeper player matches the ball type kicked by the set kicker K, and the position and shape of the cursor CS are deformed, and the ball is placed in the cursor CS. A state where B is entered is shown.

  FIG. 13C shows a case where the ball type prediction of the goalkeeper player is different from the setting on the program side, and the shape of the cursor CS is not deformed, and only the cursor position is moved. In this case, the ball B is off the cursor CS.

  According to the program, the CPU 2 determines whether or not the display position (coordinates) of the ball B matches the range of the cursor CS in the relationship shown in FIGS. 13B and 13C. In FIG. 13B, it is determined that the display area (coordinates) of the ball B matches the range of the cursor CS, that is, the goalkeeper GK catching is successful, and in FIG. 13C, the match is not successful, that is, the goalkeeper GK catching fails. Determined.

  Based on this determination result, scoring is performed according to the program, and the soccer game continues. The contents of the scoring process are not directly related to the features of the present invention, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining another embodiment of a ball type prediction by a player. That is, a plurality of display positions (CS1 to CS6) of the cursor CS displayed on the screen are set in advance as program data.

  The player predicts the ball type of the ball B kicked by the kicker K, and selects the optimum cursor CS based on the predicted ball type from a plurality of display positions (CS1 to CS6). As a result, the CPU 2 determines whether or not the direction setting of the ball B kicked by the kicker K matches the position of the cursor CS selected by the player. Based on this determination result, scoring is performed according to the program, and the soccer game continues.

  In the embodiment of FIG. 14, compared to the embodiment of FIG. 13, control is performed so that the cursor CS is selected from a preset position of the cursor CS without changing the shape of the cursor CS, so that the program processing is simplified. The load on is lighter.
