Description

  The present invention relates to an object processing apparatus, and more particularly to processing for an object in a virtual n-dimensional space performed based on an operation input.

  By forming a virtual three-dimensional space in the computer and arranging objects in the virtual three-dimensional space, a three-dimensional object can be simulated or a three-dimensional game can be realized.

  In displaying such a virtual three-dimensional space, a display is generally used. Since the display displays a two-dimensional plane, the virtual three-dimensional space is projected onto the two-dimensional plane and displayed. The operator creates or manipulates an object in the virtual three-dimensional space with a mouse or the like while looking at the two-dimensional plane of the display.

  It is not easy to edit an object in a virtual three-dimensional space while looking at a two-dimensional plane. Thus, as in Patent Document 1, a system has been proposed in which an object is generated on a plane, and the object is three-dimensionalized to generate a three-dimensional object in a virtual three-dimensional space.

JP-A-4-323766

  As described above, according to Patent Document 1, since a solid object is not generated suddenly, but a plane object is generated and converted into a solid object, the operation of the operator can be facilitated. In addition, since the plane object is generated, the processing load on the computer is less than that in the case of directly generating the three-dimensional object.

  However, in Patent Document 1, processing such as generating and moving an object in relation to other objects in the existing virtual three-dimensional space must be performed in the virtual three-dimensional space. The processing burden of was large.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

  FIG. 1 shows a functional block diagram of an object editing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The first recording unit 8 records the position and shape of each object in the virtual n-dimensional space. The low-dimensional data generation means 10 converts each object recorded in the first recording unit 8 into an object in a virtual low-dimensional space that is a dimension lower than n dimensions, and records it in the second recording unit 6. .

  The input unit 2 receives an operation input by a user. The object editing unit 4 receives an operation input from the user and edits the object in the virtual low-dimensional space recorded in the second recording unit 6.

  The editing result reflecting means 20 reflects the editing result for the object made in the second recording unit 6 on the object in the virtual n-dimensional space of the first recording unit 8. The determination unit 26 determines whether the editing of the object in the second recording unit 6 satisfies a predetermined condition. If the predetermined condition is satisfied, the editing result reflecting means 20 generates a predetermined effect on the object of the first recording unit 8.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of a hardware configuration when the object processing apparatus of FIG. The CPU 34 is connected to frame memories 30 and 31, a display 24, a memory 32, a controller 2, a ROM 36, and a CD-ROM drive 38. An operating system is recorded in the ROM 36. A game program is recorded on the CD-ROM 40. The CPU 34 controls the game according to the operating system and the game program. The game program performs its function in cooperation with the operating system.

  FIG. 3 shows the external appearance of the controller 2. A pair of analog sticks 42 arranged on the left and right, an R button 44, an L button 46, an upper button 48, a lower button 50, a left button 52, a right button 54 and the like are provided. The analog stick 42 outputs a signal corresponding to the pressing force and direction when the user presses the analog stick 42 in the vertical and horizontal directions (having a function similar to a so-called joystick). Each button outputs an ON signal when pressed, and outputs an OFF signal when not pressed. A signal generated by operating each button and the analog stick 42 is given to the CPU 34 via the cable 56.

  When the CD-ROM 40 is inserted into the CD-ROM drive 38, the game is started. As shown in FIG. 8, the CD-ROM 40 records the object and its position in the three-dimensional space (three-dimensional game space) as orthogonal X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis coordinate values. Corresponding to each object, image data of the object is also recorded on the CD-ROM 40. For example, the image data of the object “dead tree” is recorded as shown in FIG. A three-dimensional image is composed of a set of polygons. Specifically, the position, direction, texture, etc. of each polygon are recorded as data.

  Furthermore, a transparent sphere substantially equal to the thickness of the trunk of the tree is arranged at the root part of the dead tree. Specifically, the center position and radius of the sphere are recorded as data. In addition, a large transparent sphere is arranged in the upper branch portion. As will be described later, since these spheres are transparent, they are not displayed on the screen and are used for condition determination.

  A representative point C is defined for the dead tree object. The three-dimensional position in the table of FIG. 8 indicates the position of the representative point C in the three-dimensional game space. That is, a three-dimensional game space is constructed by arranging each object at the position shown in this table.

  Note that, as a general rule, the main character object and the game object also have transparent spheres arranged in substantially the same shape as described above.

  FIG. 10 schematically shows a three-dimensional game space. Dead tree objects are arranged at positions X1, Y1, and Z1 described in the table of FIG. 8 (other objects are omitted). Similarly, the main character object 60 is arranged at the positions of X0, Y0, and Z0. However, the position of the hero object 60 is not described in the table of FIG. 8, and moves by a user operation. The three-dimensional position of the main character object 60 is stored in the memory 32, and the CPU 34 recalculates the value according to the operation of the controller 2.

  On the back side of the main character object 60, a camera position VP is provided at a position away from the main character object 60 by a predetermined distance. Display on the display 24 is performed as if the three-dimensional game space was imaged from the camera position VP in the imaging direction ANG (described later). Note that the camera position VP moves as the main character object 60 moves. Further, when the main character object 60 changes the direction, the imaging direction ANG also changes the direction. The camera position VP and the imaging direction ANG are also stored in the memory 32.

  4 to 7 show flowcharts of the game program recorded on the CD-ROM 40. FIG. The CPU 34 advances the game according to the user's operation input according to the game program.

  In step S1, the CPU 34 determines whether or not the game controller 2 has been operated. When the analog stick 42 is operated, the three-dimensional position of the main character object 60 is moved (step S2). That is, the three-dimensional position of the main character object 60 stored in the memory 32 is recalculated according to the operation amount and operation direction of the analog stick 42. Further, the CPU 34 changes the camera position VP and the imaging direction ANG according to the movement of the main character object 60 (step S3). That is, the camera position VP and the imaging direction ANG stored in the memory 32 are recalculated.

Next, the CPU 34 calculates a two-dimensional image (two-dimensional game space) viewed in the imaging direction ANG from the camera position VP in the three-dimensional game space. The game object in the field of view in the imaging direction is converted into a two-dimensional image according to the distance (distance from the camera position VP) and the angle (angle with the imaging direction) (step S4).

  A three-dimensional object as shown in FIG. 9 is converted into a two-dimensional object as shown in FIG. 15B. The two-dimensional “dead tree” object illustrated in FIG. 15B is configured as a set of points on the x axis (perpendicular to the imaging direction ANG) and the y axis (perpendicular to the imaging direction ANG and the x axis). A transparent sphere in the three-dimensional object is converted into a transparent circle. The representative point C is converted into a representative point C ′. The CPU 34 converts all three-dimensional objects appearing in the imaging direction in this way into two-dimensional objects and stores them in the memory 32.

  Subsequently, the CPU 34 calculates the coordinate position of each two-dimensional object in the two-dimensional game space (defined by the x-axis and the y-axis) and stores it in the memory 32 as a table as shown in FIG. 15A.

  The CPU 34 writes the image of each object in the frame memory 30 based on the data of FIGS. 15A and 15B stored in the memory 32. At this time, using a technique such as a Z buffer, the object farther than the camera position VP is written to the frame memory 30 first, and the object is overwritten one after another (step S5).

  As a result, an image obtained by converting the three-dimensional game space into a two-dimensional image is displayed on the display 24. For example, a screen display as shown in FIG. 11 is made. Next, the CPU 34 returns to step S1 and waits for the next operation input.

  When the R button 44 is pressed in step S1, special processing is executed (step S10). Further, although the game progresses according to other operation inputs, it is omitted in FIG.

  Hereinafter, special processing when the R button 44 is pressed will be described. A detailed flowchart of the special processing is shown in FIG. First, the CPU 34 fixes the display screen when the R button 44 is pressed (step S11). That is, the stored contents of the frame memory 30 are fixed. In this embodiment, the screen at this time is displayed in black and white so that the user can easily recognize the special processing.

  Next, the CPU 34 reads a two-dimensional image of the “brush” object from the CD-ROM 40 and writes it in a predetermined position in the frame memory 31 (step S12). The display 24 displays the image of the frame memory 31 on top of the image of the frame memory 30. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 12, the brush 80 is displayed at a predetermined position on the screen of the display 24.

  Next, the CPU 34 determines whether or not the R button 44 has been released (step S13). When the R button 44 is released, a process related to the end of the special process is performed. If the R button 44 remains pressed, the CPU 34 determines that the special processing is continuing, and determines whether the analog stick 42 is operated while the L button 46 is pressed (step S14).

  When the L button 46 is pressed and the analog stick 42 is operated, the CPU 34 moves the position of the “brush” object 80 in the frame memory 31 according to the operation direction and operation amount of the analog stick 42 (step S15). Further, a line object (drawing object) is generated on the locus of the tip 82 of the “brush” object 80 and written in the frame memory 31 (step S16). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13, the line 84 is drawn on the display 24 as a drawing object. At this time, the CPU 34 stores the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of the line trajectory in the memory 32 every moment (every frame). At this time, the order of occurrence of the locus is also recorded. Since the line has a width, the coordinates of the center point of the line are stored.

  If the analog stick 42 is operated without pressing the L button 46, the CPU 34 moves the position of the “brush” object 80 without drawing a line.

  When the R button 44 is released, the CPU 34 stops fixing the screen, returns the screen to the color, and accepts a normal operation (step S17). Subsequently, the CPU 34 executes determination and effect generation processing (step S18).

  Details of the determination and the effect generation processing are shown in FIGS. The CPU 34 first reads the locus of the “brush” object 80 stored in the memory 32, and determines whether or not the locus corresponds to a predetermined shape (step S21). A determination table for this determination is recorded on the CD-ROM 40. An example of the determination table is shown in FIGS. 16a and 16b.

  The CPU 34 determines which figure in the determination table matches the drawing object drawn by the user with a brush. For example, as shown in FIG. 17 and FIG. 18, the graphic “circle” has i) a change in the angle of the tangent line between the start point and the end point of the drawing object is 270 degrees or more, and ii) the lines intersect. This holds when the two conditions (see point γ) are satisfied. An example of the algorithm for determining the shape of the drawing object is shown in FIG. If it does not match any figure, the CPU 34 determines that it is a free curve or a fill (step S22).

  Here, it is assumed that a drawing object as shown in FIG. 13 is drawn. Therefore, it is determined that it is a “circle”.

  Next, the CPU 34 reads the condition of the object (game object) corresponding to the figure of the drawing object using the determination tables of FIGS. 16a and 16b. For example, in the case of a graphic “horizon”, game objects such as trees, grass, rocks, fences, enemy characters, etc. need to exist in the two-dimensional game space. In addition, it is said that the presence of an object is not necessary for a graphic that is a special symbol. Here, it is understood that the presence of any one of the game objects of the sky, the water surface, the dead tree, the ground, and the night sky is necessary for the “circle”.

  If the presence of the target object is not necessary, the process proceeds to step S26 (step S23). If the presence of the target object is necessary, the CPU 34 determines whether or not the target object is in the two-dimensional game space (see FIG. 15) stored in the memory 32 (step S24). That is, it is determined whether or not there is a target object in the screen of the display 24. Here, the condition is satisfied because there is a “dead tree” game object in the two-dimensional game space.

  If the required object does not exist in the screen, the CPU 34 does not produce any effect and ends the special process. If the target object exists in the screen, the CPU 34 reads out the position condition corresponding to the target object from the determination table of FIGS. 16a and 16b and determines (step S25).

  Here, the condition “so as to surround the uppermost transparent circle of the target object” is read as the position condition corresponding to “dead tree”. For example, as shown in FIG. 19, if the drawing object 80 is drawn so as to completely surround the transparent circle 90, the above condition is satisfied.

  If the condition is not satisfied, the CPU 34 does not generate a game effect and ends the special process. If the condition is satisfied, the CPU 34 generates a corresponding effect described in the determination table (step S26). In the above example, “replace target object with flowered tree object” is executed. As a result, the “dead tree” object in the three-dimensional game space is replaced with the “flower blooming tree” object. In other words, the “dead tree” object in FIG. 8 is rewritten to a “flower blooming tree” object. Therefore, the screen display of the display 24 changes as shown in FIG. The user will recognize this as an effect that the dead tree has bloomed.

  When a predetermined number of “flowered trees” is generated as the game progresses, a process such as giving a score is performed.

  Next, the CPU 34 determines whether or not a secondary effect has occurred. First, in step S27, it is determined whether a secondary target object corresponding to the generated effect is defined with reference to the determination table. If the secondary target object is not defined, the secondary effect is not generated and the special processing is terminated. In the above example, since the secondary target object is not defined, the special processing by the CPU 34 ends.

  If the secondary target object is defined, the CPU 34 determines whether the secondary target object exists in the two-dimensional game space (step S28). If it exists, the effect described in the determination table is generated in the three-dimensional game space (step S29).

  For example, when a circle is drawn on the “sky” object, an effect of changing the time of the three-dimensional game space from night to noon occurs. Furthermore, as a secondary effect, if there is a sea level object in the two-dimensional game space, a secondary effect occurs in which the sea level is lowered. After generating the secondary effect as described above, the CPU 34 ends the special process.

There are many types of game effects in special processing as shown in the determination tables of FIGS. 16a and 16b. For example, on the screen as shown in FIG. 20, it is assumed that a line is drawn so as to connect the main character object 60 and the bud object 85 as shown in FIG. The transparent sphere constituting the main character object 80 in the three-dimensional game space and the transparent sphere constituting the bud object 85 are converted into a transparent circle of the main character object 60 and a transparent circle of the bud object 85 in the two-dimensional game space. In determining the position condition, it is determined whether or not a line is drawn so as to connect the transparent circle of the main character object 60 and the transparent circle of the bud object 85. If the condition is satisfied, ivy 87 appears as shown in FIG. 22, and the main character object 60 can be moved to the position of the bud object 85 as shown in FIG. 23.

  In addition to game objects such as trees, buds, hero characters, enemy characters, etc. that have transparent spheres for condition determination, game objects include condition determinations such as bridges, waterwheels, clothes racks, etc. For this reason, there is a case where a transparent body approximate to the object is provided. This is because it is not preferable for condition determination to approximate the shape of the specific object using a transparent sphere when a specific object is required to be painted and drawn (described later).

  An object such as the water surface or the ground is determined by the object itself without using a transparent sphere or a transparent body.

  An area where no object exists is defined as “empty”.

FIG. 24 shows another example. In the three-dimensional game space, a transparent plane object is provided in a portion where a bridge should be. Since it is transparent, it is not displayed on the screen. Assume that the user has painted the portion that should be a bridge by drawing as shown in FIG. The CPU 34 determines whether or not a predetermined percentage or more of the planar objects are filled in the two-dimensional game space. If a predetermined ratio or more is filled, the CPU 34 replaces the planar object in the three-dimensional game space with a bridge object. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 26 and 27, a bridge appears. Thus, the main character object 60 can move across the bridge.

  In the above embodiment, the determination of the position condition of the determination table is performed in the two-dimensional game space. However, the position condition may be determined in the three-dimensional game space. In this case, the drawing by the user can be handled as movement of a line extending in the depth direction of the screen. Therefore, the user draws a surface. The condition may be determined based on the positional relationship between the drawn surface and the target object.

  In addition to the game effects shown in the above embodiment, effects such as making the game progress slow (that is, changing the speed of time progression in the three-dimensional game space) may be generated. In addition to the environment in the three-dimensional game space, the external environment (music or the like) in which the user is playing the game may be changed.

  In the above embodiment, the effect to be generated varies depending on the shape of the drawing object. However, the effect may be varied depending on attributes such as the color, length, and thickness of the drawing object.

  Further, in the above embodiment, time is not considered as a condition for generating an effect, but this may be taken into consideration. For example, the effect may be generated by drawing a predetermined figure within a predetermined time limit. In this case, the effect is not generated unless a predetermined figure is drawn when the time limit has elapsed.

  By drawing so as to surround the main character object, a barrier that can prevent an attack from the opponent character or the like may appear.

  In the above embodiment, the user draws by operating the analog stick, but it may be drawn by a stamp prepared in advance.

  In the above embodiment, the effect occurrence is determined for one drawing object, but the effect occurrence may be determined for two or more drawing objects to generate the effect.

  In the above description, the drawing object using lines is shown as an example, but a drawing object that erases the display of the game object, such as an eraser, may be used. As an effect, when a predetermined ratio or more of the object is erased by the eraser, the object is eliminated from the three-dimensional game space.

  In the embodiment described above, an object in the three-dimensional game space is projected onto the two-dimensional game space, and drawing is performed in the two-dimensional game space to determine the condition for generating the effect. However, an object in the two-dimensional game space may be projected onto the one-dimensional game space, and drawing may be performed in the one-dimensional game space to determine the effect generation condition. Similarly, an object in an n-dimensional game space is projected onto an n-1 dimensional game space (or a game space having a dimension less than or equal to n-1 dimensional), and drawing is performed in the n-1 dimensional game space. May be determined.

  As shown in FIG. 28, a game system may be constructed by the server device 102 and the terminal device 100 connected via the Internet 104 or the like. A functional block diagram of the server apparatus 102 in this case is shown in FIG. The receiving unit 106 is a communication circuit that receives a user operation from the terminal device 100. The display unit 22 transmits display data for displaying the two-dimensional game space in the terminal device 100. Other parts are the same as those in FIG.

  In each of the above embodiments, the CD-ROM 40 is used as the first recording unit 8. However, the hard disk or the memory 32 may be used as the first recording unit 8.

  Further, in each of the above embodiments, the object processing has been described by taking a game as an example, but it can also be applied to CAD, 3D graphics, and the like. For example, it is effective when generating a line object connecting a first object and a second object. That is, a line object connecting the first object and the second object in the virtual two-dimensional space may be generated and reflected as a line object connecting the first object and the second object in the virtual three-dimensional space.
