DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a game calculator, and in particular, a game calculator for displaying a turret is provided for each display of a plurality of digits forming a numerical display section. A game key is provided to control the lighting display in the game display consisting of the plurality of game display bodies, and a display digit is randomly selected in the numerical display. numbers made,
A completely new game system characterized by being provided with a control means for executing a game in which points are added by matching the digit position of a target display such as a symbol with the turret display position controlled by the operation of the game key. It provides a game calculator.

Hereinafter, the game calculator of the present invention will be explained in detail based on examples.

FIG. 1 is a plan view showing the appearance of a gaming calculator according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, numeral 1 is a mode changeover switch for switching between computer mode and game mode, and numeral 2 is a key control section consisting of various keys used in computer mode or game mode. The mode changeover switch 1 and the key manual section 2 constitute an operation section 3. Further, 4 is a display section.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing all segments on the display section 4. As shown in FIG.

As shown in the figure, a battery display segment 43 is provided for each digit below the date segment 42 of each digit display body constituting the numerical value display section 41.

In addition, rGAMEJ and ro provided at the left end of the display section
, VERJ each segment is rG during game execution.
AMEJ is still displayed on rGAME at the end of the game.
This is provided to display 0VERJ. Furthermore, the r-Do-Do-J segment provided at the upper left end of the display section is provided to display the number of remaining artillery units (details will be described later).

The outline of the game in this embodiment will be explained with reference to the display state diagrams of FIG. 1 and FIGS. 3 to 5. In the game mode, the game start key 21 is pressed and the game starts. When instructed, on the numerical display section 41,
A number (target) is displayed in a randomly selected digit, and the value of this target increases sequentially every time a predetermined period of time passes. Additionally, a battery is displayed below the most significant digit of the first numerical display [Figure 3 (1)→(2)]. Note that the number of displayed targets, the size of the targets at the start of display, and the time interval of target sequential amplifiers are determined according to the game difficulty level (1 to 9). The figure shows an example of the display when the difficulty level is 1 or 2.

Further, the difficulty level is set by operating the difficulty level setting key 22 (details will be described later).

When the target and turret are displayed, the user operates the turret shift key 23 or 24 (23 is the turret right shift key, 24 is the turret left shift key) to move the turret to the target display digit [Figure 3 ( 2)→(3)].

Then, the firing key 25 is operated. As a result, the target display of that digit will be erased (target shot down), and 10 times the number displayed up until then will be added as a score.
Ru. After a predetermined time, one other randomly selected digit (
Target display similar to the above starts in digits other than the digits where target display has already been performed [Figure 3 (3) → (4)
]. The user operates the turret shift key again to move the turret to the target display digit and operates the firing key [Figure 3 (
4)→(5)→(6) The game progresses by repeating the above steps.

When the number of targets preset according to the difficulty level has been shot down, the score is displayed and the game ends.

In addition, in this example, you can choose whether to specify the difficulty level or not. If you specify the difficulty level, you can shoot the game as described above. The game ends when you shoot down the required number of targets, but if you do not specify it, a game with difficulty level 1 is executed first, and if you shoot down the required number of targets in the game with difficulty level 1, After the score is displayed, the game progresses to the game of difficulty level 2, and if the number of targets to be shot down in the game of that difficulty level is completed, the game progresses to the game of the next difficulty level. 0 Next, failure will be explained.

O failure (1) When the turret is in a digit other than the digit where the target is displayed,
If the firing key 25 is pressed, it is a failure, 0. In this case, as shown in FIG. 4 (1), the decimal point of that digit is lit to indicate failure.

After this display continues for about 1 second, the game continues again [Figure 4 (2)].

0 Failure (2) It is also a failure if there is only one target beyond "9" by the time you shift the turret to the target display digit and press the fire key.

At this time, the game is temporarily interrupted and the display shown in FIG. 5 is displayed. In other words, after the decimal point is shifted and the number of remaining guns is displayed by blinking a predetermined number of segments of the number of remaining guns (in the case of the figure, the number of remaining guns is
2), the difficulty level number of the game currently being executed and the score up to that point are displayed.

The game will then resume.

The number of cannons is also set according to the difficulty level (3 or 4), and each time you fail in (2) above, the number of cannons remaining is "1".
decrease by And when the number of remaining guns becomes "0",
The number of targets shot down so far and the score are displayed, and the game ends.

In addition, the number of times the firing key can be operated (that is, the total number of bullets that can be fired from the turret) is also preset according to the difficulty level, and if the number of firing key operations reaches the set number of times, the same as above , the number of targets shot down so far and the score are displayed, and the game ends.

As described above, in this embodiment, nine types of games with difficulty levels 1 to 9 can be executed. Figure 6 shows, at each difficulty level, the number of targets that always appear on the display, the range in which the targets change, the time interval at which the targets change, and the failures allowed within the same pattern (game) [Failure (2)] ] number of times,
It is a diagram showing the number of targets to be shot down within the same pattern and the total number of bullets that can be fired from the gun battery (the number of times the firing key can be operated). In addition, the target change range in a game with difficulty level 8 is "4 → 9" and rB (1011) → E (1
'1lO)J' two types of reeds are selected as appropriate.

In the case of rB-)El, the target, Q, and dox turns displayed on the numerical display section are as shown in FIG.

The same applies to games with difficulty level 9.

FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing the system configuration of this embodiment.

In the figure, numerals 3 and 4 are the display sections of the operating section 9, respectively. Further, 5 is an LSI that executes a predetermined process based on an input signal inputted from the operation section 3 and outputs a predetermined display drive signal to the display section 4 . Inside the LSI5,
As a control unit, a ROMI L instruction decoder 12 for storing programs and a program counter 1 are provided.

AM15 and its address register 16 are provided, and furthermore, an arithmetic unit 17 and an input interface circuit 1 are provided.
8. An output interface circuit 19 and a clock generation circuit 20 are provided.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a part of the program (part related to the game mode) stored in the ROMII.

In the figure, X (X7 to Xo) is a display register [the contents of each digit of this register are displayed in the corresponding digit of the numerical display section. When the digit content is A,...,E, the display pattern is a tortoise pattern as shown in Figure 7 above, and when the digit content is F (blank 1-card), there is no display. ], Y (Yy~Yo) is a target count up information storage register, Z (Zs~zo) is a score storage register, DN (DNl, DNo) is a shot down number counter, I)C (DC+, DCo) is a Remaining bullet number counter, HC is remaining cannon number counter, K (K1.K

oM is a flag indicating that the Genim difficulty level has not been specified. Each of the registers, counters, and flags mentioned above are provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 150 shown in FIG.
0J...

It represents rllllJ.

Each time the difficulty level setting key (,r) is operated, FAT count-up is executed. FAT=0 corresponds to no difficulty level specified. Further, the contents of the FAT are displayed in the least significant digit of the numerical display section. This allows the user to know the difficulty level designation state.

The game starts when the game key (GST) is operated, but if FAT=O1, that is, no difficulty level is specified, input "1" to FAT and F as preprocessing.

M sets are executed.

[By executing F (blank code) → XoJ #) After making all digits of Information is set (note that all digits of the contents of register Y are "0" at the start of the game). Thereafter, the position of the gun battery, the number of guns, the number of targets to be shot down, and the total number of bullets are set according to the contents of the FAT, and the process proceeds to a display routine. As a result, target display starts on the numerical display section, and a battery is displayed below the most significant digit. After that, the count-up operation of the timer counter T and octal counter PATC described below is executed, and the target is count up is executed.

If a key is detected during the count-up operation, the operation key is determined and the process corresponding to the operation key is executed (in the flowchart, the game key refers to the turret shift key and the firing key). (generic name for keys) 0
In other words, if the turret right shift key (→) is operated, the turret will be shifted one digit to the right, except when the turret is in the lowest digit, and if the turret left shift key (←) is operated, , a one digit left shift of the turret is performed, except when the turret is in the most significant digit. Thereafter, the process returns to execution of the count amplifier operation (see FIG. 9 (5)).

Also, when the firing key is operated, the following process is executed [see Figure 9 (6)]. First, it is determined whether the battery position and the target position match [i.e., the contents of the XHS is the target code (01,...
・,9. A (Bonus point target code.

(Details will be described later), B, . . ., E) or a blank code] is executed. If they match,
It is a "shot down" and if there is a mismatch, it is a "failure (υ)".

If it is "failure (1)", after the decimal point of the turret display digit is lit, the countdown of the remaining bullet counter DC is executed, and if it is DC'+O, the execution of the above count-up operation is executed again. If DC=0, the number of shots shot down and the score up to that point are displayed and the game ends.

On the other hand, if it is "shot down", the display with the target in that digit erased is performed for about 1 second. In addition, 10 times the code of the target that had been displayed up to that point is added as a score, and the shot down number counter DN is counted up and the remaining bullet number counter DC is counted down. If DC = 0, the number of shots shot down and the score up to that point will be displayed and the game will end. If not, [0→Y
After performing the HBJ, proceed to a new target reveal routine.

On the other hand, if the number of shots down reaches the predetermined number, the score will be displayed, and if the difficulty level is specified (FoM = 0),
The game ends here. If the difficulty level is not specified (FGM=1), clear registers X and Y (r
F-)X.

0→YJ) and proceed to running the game at the next difficulty level.

The new target appearance routine will be explained [Figure 9 (7)
)reference〕.

When proceeding to the routine, "XPATo゛=F"
If so, then to the relevant digit, and if "XPATololF", then [PATcF A,
Execute T O +1→PATCJ, and when "XPATo=F" is detected, input the code of each new target into the corresponding digit. In addition, the corresponding digit Y of the Y register
Enter "1" in PATo.

In the case of FAT=8 or 9, if the content of the least significant digit To of the timer counter is 18'', B (1011) is input as the target code.

Thereafter, a determination is made as to whether the content of the lower digit DNO of the shot-down number counter DN is "0" or not, and rDN.

' = OJ, the display routine continues and a new target is started to be displayed. However, if rDNo = OJ, the following procedure is performed to display bonus point targets in addition to the normally displayed number of targets. Execute processing. That is, the digit in which the blank code F is stored is searched for, and the target code A for bonus points is input into the digit.

Then proceed to the display routine. The target pattern for bonus points is as shown in FIG. As is clear from the flowchart in Figure 9 (3), this bonus point target is only displayed for a very short time (FF is a flag), but even when this bonus point target is shot down, Point addition, etc. is performed in the same way as when shooting down other normal targets.

If the target exceeds "9" or rEJ by the time you move the turret to the target display digit and operate the firing key,
The above is a failure. The processing executed in this case will be explained next [see FIG. 9 (see 4)].

First, prepare the following display furnace, "0 (3, 4, 5)" or r
Enter BJ in the corresponding digit. Then, the remaining battery number counter HC is counted down. Thereafter, the above-mentioned decimal point shift display is executed. Next, it is determined whether the content of HC is "0" or not, and if HC = 0, the number of shots shot down and the score up to that point are displayed and the game ends. On the other hand, if it is HC\0, the number of remaining cannons display segment that is the same as the content of HC is displayed blinking, and after displaying the remaining number of cannons, the difficulty number of the currently running game and the previous number of cannons are displayed. Display the score and return to execution of the target display/count-up routine.

Furthermore, Figure 10 shows the register X during game execution.
and Y (in the case of difficulty level 1 or 2) 0 As explained in detail above, according to the present invention, there is provided a game calculator that allows you to enjoy a completely new game that has never existed before. This is something that can be obtained.
