Further, although the power switch 25e uses a slide switch according to the illustrated example, it is also possible to use a lever switch or other switches.

The footwear 40 is designed to be put on a foot or a shoe, and has a bottom surface that contacts the sliding surface 11 and is made of cloth, synthetic resin, or the like with low frictional resistance.

Next, the operations of the control units 25 and 35 in the slide toy 1 having the above configuration will be described in detail with reference to the flow charts shown in FIGS. 3 to 8 and the table shown in FIG.

First, when the power switch 25e is turned on, the controllers 25 and 35 are activated.

The control units 25 and 35 display a screen prompting the user to select a mode on the display device 25d (step S1), determine whether the training mode or the game mode is selected (step S2). mode is executed (step S3 or S4).
Here, the mode selection operation and determination are performed by operating the selection buttons 25b and 25b' and the determination button 25c. Further, which mode is selected can be recognized by lighting or blinking of either of the mode display images 25d2 and 25d2' in FIG.

For example, when the training mode is selected in the above steps, the flowchart of the training mode shown in FIG. 4 is executed.
In this training mode, a level selection image 25d6 prompting the user to select a level is displayed on the display device 25d (step S10). This level selection image 25d6 is configured to change by operating the selection buttons 25b and 25b'.

The control units 25 and 35 wait for a level to be selected and determined by operating the selection buttons 25b and 25b' and the enter button 25c (step S10a), and when the level is determined, store the level (step S10b).

Next, in this training mode, a time image 25d3 (for example, "1:00", "2:00", "3:00") that changes by operating the selection buttons 25b, 25b' is displayed on the display device 25d. It is displayed as training time (step S11).

Next, in step S12, it is determined whether or not the training time has been selected and determined by operating the selection buttons 25b, 25b' and the decision button 25c within a predetermined time (step S12).

When determining that the training time is determined within the predetermined time, the control units 25 and 35 store the determined training time in the storage device (step S13). If so, the default training time (for example, 1 minute) is stored.

Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the control units 25 and 35 start a timer (step S21), output music from the speaker 25a, and display the elapsed time by the timer (step S22).
Specifically, the display of the elapsed time is such that the training time stored in step S13 is displayed as a time image 25d3 (for example, "1:00") on the display device 25d, and this display is displayed as time elapses. to count down. Furthermore, as the time elapses, the colored area of the elapsed time image 25d4 on the display device 25d is increased.

Also, the type of music can be changed at any point in the flow chart by executing the music selection mode (see FIG. 8) through a predetermined operation.
More specifically, at any point in time, the control units 25 and 35 wait for the selection buttons 25b and 25b' to be simultaneously pressed for a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) (step S51). When there is a pressing operation, a specific mark in the music display image 25d1 (see FIG. 2) blinks (step S52). The blinking mark (for example, music 1 mark) can be changed to another mark (for example, music 1 mark) by operating the selection buttons 25b and 25b'.
The control units 25 and 35 determine whether or not the type of music has been selected and determined by operating the selection buttons 25b and 25b' and the determination button 25c (step 53). The type is stored (step S54), otherwise the type of music is stored as default music 1 (step S55).

Returning to the description of FIG. 5, immediately after the music is started in step S22, the control units 25 and 35 light up the notification unit 24 (or 34) on one side of the left and right slide regulation units 20 and 30 (step S23). This lighting can be replaced with blinking.

Next, the control units 25 and 35 wait for detection corresponding to the level (step S24), and if there is detection, proceed to the next step S25.
Here, "perceiving according to level" means sensing by a sensing pattern selected by the player from among a plurality of sensing patterns corresponding to each level.
That is, the control units 25 and 35 store a plurality of types of sensing patterns obtained by combining the sensing by the foot sensing units 22 and 32 and the sensing by the touch switches 23 and 33 for each type of level exemplified below. Of these multiple types of sensing patterns (levels), a sensing pattern corresponding to a level selected by the player is used as a condition for operation switching, which will be described later.

In the sensing pattern corresponding to level 1, sensing is performed only by the foot sensing section 22 (or 32).
In the sensing pattern corresponding to level 2, sensing is performed by both the right and left foot sensing parts 22 (or 32) and the front touch switch 23 (or 33) on the one foot sensing part side. conduct.
In the sensing pattern corresponding to level 3, sensing by both the right and left foot sensing parts 22 (or 32) and the rear touch switch 23 (or 33) on this one foot sensing part side. I do.

In the sensing pattern corresponding to level 4, one of the right and left foot sensing portions 22 (or 32) and one of the front and rear touch switches 23 and 33 on the one foot sensing portion side, which is randomly determined. touch switch sensing and sensing by both.
In other words, in the case of this level 4, the control units 25 and 35 randomly set one of the front and rear touch switches 23 and 33 on the side of one of the foot sensing units to a sensible light emitting state, and the other one. Make it imperceptible extinguished state.
For this reason, the player needs to touch either the front or rear touch switch 23 (or 33) in a sensible light-emitting state. That is, a game is played to see how accurately the touch switch 23 (or 33) that lights up at random can be touched. If the player touches the undetectable touch switch 23 (or 33) in the unlit state, the process does not proceed to the next step.

In the next step S25, when there is a sensing according to the level, the control units 25 and 35 control the notifying unit 24 (or 34) on the side where the sensing was made and the notifying unit 34 (or 24) on the opposite side. ) are reversed to each other (this operation is called operation switching).
Specifically, in this operation switching, the notification unit 24 (or 34) on the one that has detected is turned off, and the opposite notification unit 34 (or 24) is turned on. Then, the sensed touch switch 23 (or 33) is rendered insensible, and the opposite touch switch 33 (or 23) is rendered sensible or insensible according to one of the above levels 1 to 4. do.

Next, the control units 25 and 35 count the number of times of sensing by the sensing pattern, and display the count value on the display device 25d as the number of times display image 25d5 (step S26).

Next, the control units 25 and 35 determine whether or not the timer started in step S21 has reached the set value and the training time has ended (step S27). Proceed with the process, otherwise return the process to step S24.

In step S28, the transmission of music by the speaker 25a is stopped, and both notification units 24 and 34 (LEDs) are turned off. Then, the process returns to step S2 (see FIG. 3).

On the other hand, if the game mode is selected in step S2, the flowchart of the game mode shown in FIG. 6 is executed.
In this game mode, the level selection image 25d6 is displayed on the display device 25d (step S31), as in step S10.

The control units 25 and 35 wait for a level to be selected and determined by operating the selection buttons 25b and 25b' and the determination button 25c (step S32), and when the level is determined, store the level (step S33).

Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the control units 25 and 35 start the timer (step S41), output music from the speaker 25a, and display the elapsed time by the timer (step S42).
The type of music to be output in this game mode is selected by the same process as the flowchart shown in FIG. 8 described above.
The music that can be selected in this game mode is set to a different kind of music from the music that can be selected in the training mode so as to enhance the gameplay.

The game time in the game mode is previously fixed to a predetermined value (for example, 1 minute), but as another example, the game time may be selectable as in the training mode.
Also, the display of the elapsed time in the game mode is the same as in the training mode.

Next, the control units 25 and 35 wait for detection corresponding to the level (step S44), in substantially the same manner as in step S24, and advance the process to the next step S45 if detection is detected.

In step S45, in substantially the same manner as in step S25, left and right operation switching is performed, the notification unit 24 (or 34) on the one that sensed is turned off, and the notification unit 34 (or 24) on the opposite side is turned on. .

Next, the control units 25 and 35 count the number of times of the "level-based sensing", display the count value on the display device 25d as the number display image 25d5 (step S46), and furthermore, the count value is The number of marks displayed in the rank display image 25d7 is increased each time it increases by a predetermined number (for example, five times) (step S47).

Next, the control units 25 and 35 determine whether or not the timer started in step S41 has reached the set value and the time limit for the game has expired (step S48). The process proceeds to S49, and otherwise returns to step S44.

In step S49, the output of music is stopped, and output is performed according to the number of marks displayed in the rank display image 25d7.
For example, if the rank is 10, the output is "Perfect!", If the rank is 5, "Oh nice!"
This output can be the flashing of the notification units 24 and 34 (LED), the output of specific music, or the like.

According to the above embodiment, the notification units 24 and 34 are devices that emit light. It is also possible to use a sound generator, a vibration generator, or the like.

Also, the foot sensing units 22 and 32 and the touch switches 23 and 33 may be touch switches or sensors other than those described above.

Moreover, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can be modified as appropriate without changing the gist of the present invention.
