  In recent years, with the development of such game devices, more complicated and advanced game settings and operation methods have become necessary. The present applicant has developed a game device that more highly reproduces the functions and behaviors of various mobile objects such as various aircraft.

  In such a game device, as it becomes more advanced, it is necessary to display a lot of information accompanying the movement of the moving body. In particular, in a game that operates an aircraft moving in a three-dimensional space, the altitude and direction of the aircraft operated by the player, the inclination with respect to the horizon of the aircraft, the distance to the attack target, the setting of the aim for the enemy aircraft, the weapon Various displays such as the remaining number were displayed.

  In particular, in order to grasp the horizontal direction in the three-dimensional space, the line-of-sight direction and the tilt direction in the space, a plurality of display objects indicating the azimuth, the tilt direction, the tilt angle, and the like are necessary, and the image layout is accordingly accompanied. It has become complicated, and it has been difficult to intuitively grasp the line-of-sight direction and tilt direction of the moving object from the display of the display objects.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a display method for grasping the line-of-sight direction and posture in a conventional game (for example, Non-Patent Document 1) that moves in a three-dimensional space. FIG. 8 shows the first person viewpoint (cockpit viewpoint). The compass 1 is a scale for grasping the direction of the moving object. For example, NE is northeast, NNE is north northeast, and ENE is east northeast. Show. This scale allows the mobile body to know the direction in which it is heading. The scale in the circle 2 shown in the center of the figure is for grasping the inclination of the moving body, and the horizontal line 2a at the center of the circle indicates the horizontal reference line of the moving body. The pitch reference line 2b moves in accordance with the inclination of the moving body, and the numerical value indicating the inclination or the like changes accordingly, and the pitch angle (up and down inclination angle) can be confirmed by looking at the horizontal line 2a of the moving body. The numbers on the left and right of the pitch reference line 2b indicate angles. As described above, when the pilot maneuvering the moving body, he / she has to steer while looking at a plurality of display objects indicating the azimuth / vertical angle such as the azimuth meter 1, the horizontal line 2a, and the pitch reference line 2b. In particular, in the case of a battle game using a fighter or submarine, if you can not grasp the direction of the gaze or attitude of your ship or your ship in an instant, you can shoot down enemy ships or sink enemy ships. Neither can you escape the enemy easily. On the other hand, FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the case of the third person viewpoint (behind view viewpoint), and the orientation of the moving object is not known as image information because the compass 1 is not displayed as compared with the first person viewpoint. In addition, the inclination of the moving body can only be grasped from the entire landscape displayed on the display screen.

  In view of the problems of the conventional game apparatus as described above, the present invention can easily grasp the moving direction, posture, and visual field direction of a moving object.

  According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a game operation unit in which a player operates a moving body, and a movement, posture, position, and position of an object moving in a virtual three-dimensional space based on an input signal from the operation unit and a predetermined program. In a three-dimensional game apparatus that displays a game screen of the virtual three-dimensional game space on a display, including game calculation means for calculating at least one of direction, orientation, field of view, viewpoint, and information associated with an object, The game calculation means calculates at least one of object movement and posture, position, direction, orientation, field of view, viewpoint, and information associated with the object, and moves and postures in the three-dimensional space, field of view information Including posture direction display means that calculates any one of the above and displays the result in the form of a straight line or a curve reflecting the result. And attitude, or a three-dimensional game device for displaying by using lines and curves at least one of visibility information.

  Further, the posture direction display means may display using a straight line or a curve in a form that reflects the result of calculating any one of the moving direction, tilt, and field of view of the moving body.

  Taking the flight simulator as an example, the aircraft tilt information and the aircraft traveling direction information are displayed as straight lines and curves. In particular, when displaying the tilt information of the aircraft, the aircraft tilt data input to the player is numerically displayed, and a straight line is displayed by the game calculation means based on the numerical data. For example, if the aircraft has a large inclination, a straight line or a curved line is displayed so as to reflect the value.

  In games so far, such information on the tilt of the aircraft has been displayed numerically on the game screen, and it has not been possible to instantaneously determine the information that the player is playing.

  According to the first invention and the like, the posture direction display means displays the information, which was supposed to be displayed and recognized as numerical values in past games, as a line or a curve, so that the player can feel it. Can be recognized.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the three-dimensional game apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention, at least the movement and posture of the moving body operated by the player, the position, the direction, the azimuth, the field of view, the viewpoint, and the information associated with the object. It is a three-dimensional game apparatus including means for calculating any one of them, and having means for displaying the calculation results corresponding to the moving direction, the posture direction, or all of them by changing the shape of a straight line and a curved line.

  Taking the flight simulator as an example, the aircraft tilt information and the aircraft traveling direction information are displayed as straight lines and curves. In particular, when displaying the tilt information of the aircraft, the aircraft tilt data input to the player is numerically displayed, and a straight line is displayed by the game calculation means based on the numerical data.

  In this invention, the game calculation means may display lines in real time in accordance with the progress of the game or the operation of the player. As a result, the straight lines are sequentially changed and displayed according to the inclination of the aircraft.

  For example, when the aircraft moves from a horizontal state to an elevated state, the line is displayed as a straight line because there is no inclination of the aircraft when horizontal. However, as the aircraft rises, the center of the straight line gradually swells while reflecting the inclination of the aircraft, and the straight line is deformed and displayed.

  Similarly, it is also possible to display the image by deforming the line in the vertical direction of the aircraft while inclining the line to the left or right in accordance with the inclination direction of the aircraft in the horizontal direction.
