Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a three-dimensional game machine and an image synthesizing method for traveling a predetermined course in a virtual three-dimensional space with a predetermined running body.

[0002]

Prior Art and Problems to be Solved by the Invention FIG.
FIG. 1A shows an example of a game screen displayed on the conventional two-dimensional game device. The course display in this example is performed as follows. That is, first, a course 502 having a shape as shown in FIG. 13B is prepared. Next, the image of the course 502 is scrolled line by line in the left-right direction according to the degree of curve of the course. As a result, it becomes possible to display the course 500 as shown in FIG. For example, the line P in FIG. 13A can be obtained by scrolling the line Q in FIG. 13B to the right. Then, for example, when the player uses the steering wheel or the like to operate the racing car 504 (running body) to the left or right, the course 50 turns as if it were winding.
It is possible to give the player the feeling that he is running above zero.

As described above, in the conventional two-dimensional game device,
Even if the player operates the steering wheel, the image of the course 500 flowing from the front is only shifted to the left and right. Therefore, no matter how the racing car 504 is operated, the traveling distance required for the course orbit is always constant. Therefore, there is no difference in the mileage required for the course lap between the beginner and the advanced player, and as a result, only the lap time, the goal ranking, etc. were adopted as the scales showing the difference in the level between the beginner and the advanced driver.

On the other hand, in recent years, a game device called a three-dimensional game device has been known as an alternative to the above-mentioned two-dimensional game device. According to this three-dimensional game device, the player can experience a so-called virtual reality world, and is thus popular as a game. Since this three-dimensional game device inherits the above-mentioned two-dimensional game device, only the lap time, the goal ranking, etc. are adopted as the scale showing the level difference between the beginner and the advanced player, like the above-mentioned two-dimensional game device. There wasn't.

However, unlike the above-mentioned two-dimensional game device, the three-dimensional game device simulates the actual running of a racing car on a three-dimensional course set in a virtual three-dimensional space. . Therefore, there is a difference in the traveling distance required for the course of the course between the beginner and the advanced player. Specifically, so-called "line-driving" is good for advanced players, and beginners are poor for beginners, and the mileage of advanced players who are good at line-driving is generally smaller than that for beginners. However, the lap time, which is a measure of the level difference up to now, could not be used to express the skill of this line. Therefore, for example, when there is a lap time difference with the top player, it is determined whether the difference occurs because the line sprinting is not good or the acceleration / deceleration timing is not good. There was a problem that I could not.

The present invention has been made in order to achieve the above technical problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a three-dimensional game device and an image which give a new scale indicating the superiority or inferiority of the game operation of the player.

【Example】

1. First Embodiment FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a first embodiment of the present invention. The first embodiment includes an operation unit 12, a virtual three-dimensional space calculation unit 100, an image composition unit 200, and a display 10.

The operation unit 12 is for the player to input an operation signal. The virtual three-dimensional space calculation unit 100 performs a calculation for forming a virtual three-dimensional space based on a predetermined program and an operation signal from the operation unit 12. Specifically, the calculation is performed to obtain the position information, the direction information, and the like of the display object forming the virtual three-dimensional space, for each predetermined period, for example, for each one field (frame). Here, in the case of a racing car game, the displayed objects include a course, a racing car (running body) traveling on the course, and the like. The image synthesizing unit 200 synthesizes the visual field image at a predetermined viewpoint position in the virtual three-dimensional space based on the obtained position information and outputs it to the display 10.

The virtual three-dimensional space calculation unit 100 includes a movement information calculation unit 106, a position information calculation unit 130, and a travel distance calculation unit 120. The movement information calculation unit 106 obtains movement information for each minute period of the traveling body based on an operation signal from the operation unit 12, and the position information calculation unit 130 calculates the movement information for each minute period. The position information of the traveling body is obtained. Further, the traveling distance calculation unit 120 obtains the traveling distance of the traveling body on the course based on the movement information for each minute period. The image synthesizing unit 120 outputs a mileage display for indicating the mileage to the display 10. This allows the player to know the traveling distance of the traveling object.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the course used in the first embodiment. In FIG. 2, the racing car goes around the course 21 starting from the start point 77. FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a portion F of the course 21 shown in FIG. 2, in which a traveling line of advanced riders and a beginner's traveling line are shown in comparison on the course. As is clear from Fig. 3, advanced riders follow the "out-in-out" principle and drive efficiently while beginners do not. For this reason, the mileage required to go around the course is longer for beginners. For example, in the example of FIG. 3, the traveling distance of one lap for a beginner is about 7% longer than that for an advanced player. If it is assumed that the average speeds are the same, the longer the traveling distance, the more time it takes to lap the course. Therefore, by notifying the mileage, for example, a beginner can objectively recognize the reason why his lap time is slow.

Further, the quality of the lap time depends not only on the traveling distance but also on the acceleration / deceleration timing, the presence / absence of a course out, etc. Therefore, in the conventional game device that displays only the lap time, it is not possible to recognize whether the displayed lap time is bad (or good) depending on whether the line lag, the timing of acceleration / deceleration, or the presence of the course out.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the game screen generated by this embodiment. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a travel distance display 70 showing the travel distance (DISTANCE) on the course is displayed. In addition to the traveling distance display 70, a lap time (TIME) display 72 is also displayed.
Therefore, according to this embodiment, the player can know not only the lap time but also the traveling distance, and can compete with other players for the superiority or inferiority of the traveling distance. Further, by comparing the lap time with the traveling distance, it is possible to judge whether the reason (or the reason) of the own lap time depends on whether the lane is good or bad.

In this embodiment, record (highest record) displays 74 and 76 about lap time and mileage are also displayed. This allows the player to run aiming to break this record. As a result, the sense of urgency of the game can be enhanced and the fun of the game can be increased.

In this embodiment, a traveling body position display 78 for indicating the position of the racing car is also displayed. The traveling body position display 78 of FIG. 4 indicates that the racing car is located at the position of the arrow 80 on the course. Although only the approximate position of the racing car can be recognized by the player only by the traveling body position display 78, by displaying the traveling distance display 70 together, not only the approximate position but also the accurate position can be recognized.

In FIG. 4, the record displays 74 and 78 are displayed below the traveling body position display 78, but the traveling distance display 70 is displayed below the traveling body position display 78 so that the player can easily see. It may be displayed.

FIG. 5 shows an example of the game result screen displayed after the end of the game (or at the time point when one round of the course is completed). On this game result screen, the lap time of the player and the mileage required for one lap are shown in comparison with the record (highest record) of this device. In this example, the first ratio, which is the ratio of the player's lap time to the record lap time, is substantially the same as the second ratio, which is the ratio of the player's mileage to the record's mileage. Therefore, the reason that the player's lap time is slow is mainly due to the player's line lining.

At this time, the device side automatically obtains the first and second ratios, and the player's line rank (eg, A, B, C, D) based on the first and second ratios. The rank may be determined and displayed on the game score screen.

In FIG. 5, the record of the player and the record (highest record) are compared and displayed.
It is also possible to display a ranking in which the traveling distances of a plurality of players are arranged in order of performance. Up to now, only the lap time ranking is displayed on the game device. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since the ranking of the mileage can also be displayed, it is possible to show off the goodness of one's own line to others, etc., and the game can be more interesting.

2. Second Embodiment FIG. 6 shows a block diagram of a second embodiment. Second
This embodiment shows an example of a specific configuration of the above-mentioned first embodiment.

FIG. 7 shows an example of an external view when the second embodiment is applied to a commercial three-dimensional game device installed in a game center or the like. Although FIG. 7 shows an example of a multi-player type game device, the present invention is naturally applicable to a single-player type game device. Each game device 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4 is formed similarly to the driver's seat of an actual racing car. Then, the player sits on the seat 18 and operates the steering wheel 14, the accelerator 15, the shift lever 16 and the like provided on the operation unit 12 while watching the game screen displayed on the display 10 to drive an imaginary racing car. And play the game.

FIG. 8 shows an example of the virtual three-dimensional space. A three-dimensionally formed course 20 is arranged in the virtual three-dimensional space. In addition, display objects such as a building 60, an arch 62, a stand 64, a cliff 66, a wall 68, a tunnel 70, a tree 72, and a bridge 74 are arranged around the course 20. The player operates the racing car while looking at the display 10 showing these courses and the like. Then, starting from the start point 76, orbiting the course 20 and orbiting the course a predetermined number of times, it becomes a goal and the player's ranking is determined.

The block diagram of FIG. 6 will be described in detail. In the case of a racing car game, for example, a steering wheel 14, an accelerator 15 and the like for driving a racing car are connected to the operation unit 12, and an operation signal of the player is input by this.

The virtual three-dimensional space operation unit 100 is composed of the processing unit 1.
02, virtual three-dimensional space setting unit 104, movement information calculation unit 1
06, display object information storage unit 108, mileage calculation unit 120
including. In the virtual three-dimensional space calculation unit 100, a plurality of display objects in the virtual three-dimensional space shown in FIG.
0, the building 60, the arch 62, the stand 64, the cliff 66, the position or the position and the direction of the player racing car, the opponent racing car, the computer car, etc. are set.

The processing unit 102 controls the entire apparatus. In addition, a predetermined game program is stored in the storage unit provided in the processing unit 102. The virtual three-dimensional space calculation unit 100 calculates a virtual three-dimensional space according to the game program and an operation signal from the operation unit 12.

The movement information calculation unit 106 calculates movement information for each minute period of a racing car or the like according to an operation signal from the operation unit 12, an instruction from the processing unit 102, and the like.

The display object information storage unit 108 stores position information, direction information, and object number of the display object (hereinafter, these stored position information / direction information and object number are referred to as display object information). ). Figure 9
Shows an example of the display object information stored in the display object information storage unit 108.

The display object information stored in the display object information storage unit 108 is read by the virtual three-dimensional space setting unit 104. In this case, the display object information storage unit 108 stores the display object information in the field immediately preceding the field (frame). Then, the virtual three-dimensional space setting unit 104 obtains display object information (position information, direction information) in the field based on the read display object information and the movement information calculated by the movement information calculation unit 106. To be The position information of the running body is obtained by the built-in position information calculation unit 130. Further, such information is not necessary for a stationary object, and since the display object information does not change, such processing is not necessary. The map setting unit 110 also sets a map in the virtual three-dimensional space.

For example, if the position / direction information of the racing car in the previous field is X _n-1 , Y _n-1 , Z _n-1 ,
It is assumed that θ _n-1 , φ _n-1 , and ρ _n-1 . Then, the movement information for each minute period of the racing car in the one-field period is calculated by the movement information calculation unit 106 based on the road condition, the traveling information including the movement information of the field immediately before, the operation information of the player, and the like. X _n , ΔY _n , ΔZ _n , Δ
It is assumed that θ _n , Δφ _n , and Δρ _n are calculated. Then, X _n = X _n-1 + ΔX _n Y _n = Y _n-1 + ΔY _n Z _n = Z _n-1 + ΔZ _n θ _n = θ _n-1 + Δθ _n φ _n = φ _n-1 + Δφ _n ρ _n = ρ _n-1 + Δρ _n . In this way, the position / direction information of the racing car is successively obtained for each field based on the player's operation or the like.

In this embodiment, the traveling distance calculation unit 120 is
The travel distance is calculated based on the movement information and the like. Specifically, for example, the traveling distance D is a movement distance (ΔX _n ² + ΔY _n ² + ΔZ _n ² ) for each minute period obtained based on movement information for each minute period.
By multiplying by ^{1/2, it} is calculated as the following formula. D = Σ _{n = 1} to _k (ΔX _n ² + ΔY _n ² + ΔZ _n ² ) ^1/2 (1) The obtained traveling distance D is output to the image forming unit 228, and the image forming unit 228 is output. The display 10 forms an image for displaying the traveling distance based on the traveling distance D.
Output to.

In the conventional two-dimensional game device, as described above, even if the player operates the steering wheel, the image of the road is only shifted in the left-right direction. Therefore, it was not possible to obtain the actual accurate traveling distance. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, a simulation is performed in which the racing car is actually driven in the virtual three-dimensional space. Therefore, it is possible to obtain an accurate traveling distance by a simple calculation as shown in the above formula (1).

Finally, the structure and operation of the image composition section 200 will be briefly described. The three-dimensional calculation unit 210 included in the image composition unit 200 performs various coordinate conversion processing and three-dimensional calculation processing according to the virtual three-dimensional space setting information set by the virtual three-dimensional space calculation unit 100. That is,
First, in FIG. 10, a process of converting the image information of the display objects 300, 333, and 334 representing a racing car, a course, etc. from the local coordinate system to the world coordinate system (X _W , Y _W , Z _W ) is performed. After that, a process of performing coordinate conversion of the coordinate-converted image information into a viewpoint coordinate system (X _v , Y _v , Z _v ) with the viewpoint of the player 302 as a reference is performed. Next, so-called clipping processing is performed, and then perspective projection conversion processing to the screen coordinate system (X _S , Y _S ) is performed. Finally, if necessary (when the Z buffer method or the like is not used), a sorting process is performed.

In the image information storage section 212, image information of a racing car, tires, etc. is stored as information of a set of polygons with the object number in the display object information as an address.

The image forming unit 228 is a three-dimensional calculation unit 210.
The image information of each pixel (dot) in the polygon is obtained based on the image information of each vertex of the polygon given by The obtained image information is converted into RGB data and the like, and then output to the display 10.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention.

For example, in the above embodiment, the traveling distance of the traveling body is displayed, but according to the present invention, the accumulated traveling distance can be displayed. For example, in FIG. 12, in addition to the tachometer display 500 and the speed display 502, the first and second accumulated traveling distances 504 and 506 are displayed. The first and second accumulated traveling distances 504 and 506 are obtained by accumulating the traveling distances in the accumulated traveling distance calculation unit 122 of FIGS. 1 and 6. The first cumulative running distance 504 is the cumulative running distance of the running object since the game device was first powered on, and is not initialized even when the power is turned off. The first traveling distance 504 corresponds to the total traveling distance of the traveling body. On the other hand, the second integrated travel distance 506 is an integrated travel distance of the traveling object, but is initialized by powering off (or powering on) (power on / off is not shown in power on / off detecting means). Detected by). The second cumulative traveling distance 506 corresponds to the traveling distance of the traveling body per day.

The integrated travel distance does not always have to be initialized by turning the power supply on and off. For example, a timer or the like may be provided in the game device and may be initialized, for example, every one day. As described above, various methods can be considered as a method of calculating the total traveling distance.

As the running body of the present invention, various things other than a racing car can be considered. For example, a motorcycle, a bicycle, a ship, or a spaceship that runs on the course.

Further, the present invention can be applied not only to a game device for business use but also to a game device for home use, for example. FIG. 11 shows an example of a block diagram when the present invention is applied to a home-use game machine. This game device includes a main body device 1000, an operation unit 1012, a storage medium (CD-ROM, game cassette,
