JPH08289980A - Golf game machine displaying proper advice - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: To increase the pleasure of a game by recognizing the type of the field where a golf ball exists, judging the distance to a pin, judging whether a wood exists on the straight line between the golf ball and the pin or not, judging whether the wind direction and wind velocity are changed just immediately before or not, and giving advices. CONSTITUTION: When a game machine is started, a screen showing the course state is displayed, and the field judgment section 11 of a CPU 1 judges on which of the fairway, rough, bunker, and green a golf ball presently exists. A distance judgment section 12 judges the distance between the golf ball and a pin. A wood existence judgment section 13 judges whether an obstructing wood exists on the straight line between the golf ball and a pin or not. Change judgment sections 14, 15 judge whether the wind eirection and wind velocity are changed or not. An advice determination section 16 reads the advice contents from a character ROM based on these judged results and displays them on a screen.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a golf game machine capable of giving appropriate advice to a player in advance when inputting shot conditions such as shot direction, shot power, and impact position of a golf ball.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a golf game machine progresses a game by displaying a golfer's figure performing a T shot, a second shot, a putt, etc., a golf ball flying condition, a course condition, etc. on a CRT screen. The player decides the shot condition for each shot. If a shot can be input based on the state of the golf course, the position of the golf ball, etc., a more accurate shot can be made. For that purpose, detailed information for determining the shot condition is necessary.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a more accurate shot and increase the enjoyment of the game by giving appropriate advice according to the situation of the course when making a shot. It is to provide a golf game machine that can.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, a golf game machine according to the present invention is a golf game machine of a type in which an advice is displayed to a player when hitting a shot of a golf ball. Judge the type to determine the distance to the pin, whether there is a tree on the straight line between the golf ball and the pin, determine whether the wind direction and wind force changed immediately before,
Based on these judgment results, the memory storing the advice contents is accessed to display the advice by voice or on the screen.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a golf game machine according to the present invention. When the game machine is activated by the player's operation, the CPU 1 reads an operation program for executing a golf game from the program ROM 6 via the system bus 2 and starts executing the operation program. The character is read from the character ROM 7 and the image data is stored in the screen memory 8, and C
A screen for starting the quiz game is displayed on RT9. The player operates the buttons and the like of the operation device 4 according to the instruction on the screen or the voice.

Input signals from the buttons of the operating device 4 are
It is sent to the CPU 1 via the input / output control circuit 3. The work RAM 5 is used as a work area of the CPU 1. When the player inputs shot conditions such as shot direction and shot power, advice according to the course situation is displayed on the screen. The player can decide the shot condition by referring to this advice.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart for explaining the operation of the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the functions of the CPU 1. When the game is started, a screen showing the course situation is displayed and the CPU 1 performs the following determination operation. The field determination unit 11 of the CPU 1 determines whether the golf ball is currently on the fairway, rough, bunker, or green (S201). Next, the distance determination unit 12 determines how far the golf ball is from the pin (S202). Further, the tree presence / absence determining unit 13 determines whether or not there is an obstacle tree on the straight line between the golf ball and the pin (S203). Further, the change determination units 14 and 15 determine whether the wind direction and the wind force have changed (S204, S205). On the other hand, S201
If the distance is determined to be green, the distance determination unit 17 determines whether the distance to the cup is long or short (S20).
7). Then, the turf stitch determination unit 18 determines whether the turf stitch is a normal stitch or a reverse stitch (S208).

Based on the result of the determination thus made, the advice determination section 16 reads the advice content from the character ROM 7 and displays it on the screen. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing how many kinds of advice can be selected for fields other than green. 2 ⁴ = 16 ways can be selected, and up to 16 ways of advice can be received for each fairway, rough and bunker. In the case of a green, you can receive up to 6 types of advice as shown in Figure 6. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the details of the character ROM, in which 16 kinds of advices are stored. The character ROM is provided for each field type.

Next, the specific advice contents when the position of the golf ball determined in S201 is fairway, rough, bunker or green will be described. ○ In case of fairway "Advice" (1) ~ (4) "If you shoot as it is, trees may be in the way." (5), (6) "The wind direction seems to have changed." (7) "The wind seems to be getting stronger." (8) "Relax and take a shot." (9) ~ (12) "If you keep shooting like this, you may hit a tree." (13), ( 14) "The wind direction has changed." (15) "The wind has become stronger." (16) "Let's aim for the green."

○ In the case of rough "Advice" (1)-(4) "If you shoot as it is, the tree may be in the way. It may be better to consider returning to the fairway." (5 ), (6) "The wind direction has changed. It seems better to return to the fairway rather than to increase the distance." (7) "The wind seems to have become stronger. Return to the fairway than to increase the distance. It seems better. "(8)"It's safer to return to the fairway than to increase the distance. "(9) ~ (12)" If you shoot like this, you may hit a tree. "(13) , (14) "The wind direction has changed." (15) "The wind has become stronger." (16) "The shot from the rough reduces the flight distance."

○ Bunker "Advice" (1) ~ (8) "Let's consider returning to the fairway rather than increasing the distance." (9) ~ (16) "Strike the shot from the bunker. In any of (1) to (16) in FIG. 4, the corresponding advice with the same number is read from the character ROM 7.

○ In the case of green "Advice" (1) "A lot of turf rolls due to the effect of the grass. Please be careful about the amount of force." (2) "A little roll due to the effect of the turf. Please shoot. "(3)" The ball will be thrown by the influence of the grass. Please be careful of the direction. "(4)" If you hit it too hard, you will pass the cup. (5) "If you don't hit the ball a little, it may not reach the cup." (6) "Because the grass will be thrown. Please be careful about the direction of the shot." In any one of (1) to (6), the corresponding advice with the same number is read from the character ROM 7. In the case of green, 16 kinds of advice can be provided.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to realize a golf game machine which can give the player more appropriate advice at the time of a shot, depending on the position of the golf ball, the course condition, and the like.
