Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an electronic game device that restarts a more difficult game with an upgraded game content when the score of the game exceeds a predetermined score.

[Prior art]

Conventionally, electronic game devices that upgrade the game content when the score exceeds a predetermined value, for example 1000 points, have been used.
For example, if your score was increased from 985 points to 1005 points by adding 20 points, a new leveled-up game would clear all previous scores and start from 0 points.

[Problems with conventional technology]

Therefore, even if the player concentrates on the game and earns points, the points that exceed the target score of 1000 points will be cleared, so some of the points earned will be wasted and the player's motivation to play will be reduced. There was a problem of removing the .

[Purpose of the invention]

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to prevent the points earned by the player from being wasted even when the level of the game content is upgraded, and to ensure that the points earned by the player can be retained. .

[Key points of the invention]

Therefore, the present invention aims to improve the level of game content.
The key point is that any points that exceed the target score are carried over to the next leveled up game.

[Configuration of Example]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

<External configuration> Figure 1 shows the external appearance of a wristwatch-type game device 1.
A display section 2 is formed at the upper front of the game device 1,

A display changeover switch 5 and a game start switch 6 for instructing the start of the game are provided.

The display section 2 has a display pattern as shown in FIG. 2, with a goal 7 shown on the left end and poles 8 movable from above to below in each of the four columns. Tarakura-9 can also be displayed in four rows, each moving from the top to the bottom. In addition, the player 10 can be displayed moving horizontally in the lower row from in front of the goal, and when moved to the right end, rPAssJ and the ball 8 directly above it flash, and the ball 8 appears from the first row on the left, and the player 10 10 is automatically restored to the position to its left. If you continue to move the player 10 to the right end, the ball 8 will move from the second, third, and fourth rows.
are starting to appear more and more.

The player then moves the player 10 to catch the falling ball 8 and shoot it at the goal 7 to score points, but if the player fails to catch the ball 8 or collides with Tarakura 9, a cloud of dirt 11 is displayed. Mistake display section 12 at the bottom
The number of mistakes will be displayed.

In addition, the score, time, and alarm time are displayed on the numerical display section 13, and this numerical display section 13 displays the game content when the game content is relatively easy level 1 (L-1) and when the score reaches 1000 points or more. Level 2 (L-2), which is likely to be more likely, is also displayed. A game time display section 14 is also provided above the mistake display section 12, and is displayed in 10 second increments.

[Operation of the embodiment]

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

<Initialization process> Normally, the control unit 25 performs the flow process shown in the left part of FIG. Game time count (step A3),
In the time mode, the process of counting the current time (step A4) is repeated. When a key is operated, the control unit 2
5 determines the operation key (step A5), '/'
Assuming that the game start switch 6 is operated, the control section 25Fi displays the player 10 at the goal 7 digit 1d as shown in FIG. Step A7 to erase the display of ball 8
), Step A6. also erases the display of the mud 11 and the display of the game time display section 14. A, ), as shown in Figure 9 (1), the second light of the error display section 12 is lit to enter the game mode, and the highest game score in the past is displayed as R.
Read from AM+7 and display for a certain period of time (Step A+
o-An). Next, the control unit 25 performs a cattery prevention process for the keys 3 to 6, and repeats steps A1 to A4 again. Further, when other keys are operated in steps A, , A, other processes such as time correction and alarm time setting are performed accordingly.

Game/Start Process> Next, the game time display section 14 and the miss display section 12 are displayed, and the player moves the player 10 from the goal position.
Then, the control unit 25 starts the flow process shown in FIG.

That is, the control unit 25 instructs the T register in the RAM 17 to set the phrase "Step B1)," clears the Y register that stores the number of balls 8 received by the player 10 (Step B2), and the player Decrement the value of the T register by 1 every N = 10 seconds (Step B,) until the number 10 receives the ball 8 (Step B,) until the value of the T register becomes "o" (Step B7). The 6 segments of the game time display section 14 are erased one by one (Step Bδ) Here, if the player 10 receives the ball 8 that has appeared by the ball appearance process described later (Step Bs), the value of the y register is received. is incremented (step B) until the number taken reaches "4" (step Ba).

<Ball appearance process> Next, when the player operates the right movement key 4, the control unit 25
moves player 1o to the right (step CI), and
As shown in Figure (2), the low level game rL-J is displayed, and when it reaches the right end (step C2), Figure 89 (3)
), display rPASSJ for n=α5 seconds (
Step C3, C,) Return the player 10 to the left position Step C1), rPA as shown in FIG. 9 (4)
The ball 8 above the ssJ mark is blinked for m=0.5 seconds (steps C6, C7) to indicate to the player that the ball 8 will appear from above the display section 2. Then, the control section 25
Step C8) of erasing the display of the PASJ mark, RAM
The value of the R register indicating the number of appearances of ball 8 in 17 is incremented by one to "1" (step CO), and after determining that the value of the R register is not greater than "5" (
Step C8゜), based on the value "1" of the R register (
Step Cl2) As shown in FIG. 9(5), make the Q ball 8 appear at the top of the first row at the left end of the display section 2 (Step Cl2).
+5) Erase the flashing of ball 8 above the rPAS S J mark (step C1□).

Next, when the player 10 is moved to the right end again, the same processing from steps C1 to C+Z is repeated, but since the value of the R register becomes "2" at step C0, pole 8 appears in the second column this time. (Step C14)
. If you continue to move this player lO to the right end, pole 8 will appear in the 5th and 4th columns (steps CI5 and C16), and if you continue with g and others, the value of the R register will be Because it becomes "5" (step CI.

), the fifth column is not present on the display section 2, and the pole 8 is returned to rIJK (step C81), and the pole 8 appears again in the first column.

In this way, the poles 8 can be caused to appear according to the player's will, and the number of poles 8 that appear can also be freely controlled.

<Score processing> The player avoids Tarakura-9 and catches the falling pole 8, and then moves to step B described above.

The processing of ~B is performed, and the number of pole 8 catches is memorized in the y register. When this is carried to goal 7 and shot, the control unit 25 determines this and when the game level is increased as shown in FIG. The score processing in step E1 of the score carryover processing, that is, the flow processing of FIG. 8 is started. As shown in Figure 10, the score processing in this case is set so that the shorter the game elapsed time and the more poles taken, the higher the score, and the score is approximately proportional to the remaining time in the game.
The support of the pole 8 is set to be approximately proportional to the square of the number of holes.

As shown in FIG. 9 (6) K, when there is a goal in, the control unit 2
The flow process shown in Figure 5Fim8 is started, but now the player 10 receives four poles 8 and the value of the y register becomes "4", and after 20 seconds of game time has elapsed, the value of the T register becomes "4". ”. Then, first set "0" to the A buffer that stores the number of additions according to the number of poles in the HRAM 17.Step D
,), After confirming that the value of the T register is not "0" (step D,), set "2" to the Z register that stores the score per ball.Step Ds),'
The value ``4'' of the r register is sequentially decremented by 1 until it reaches ``OJK'' (step D4. In other words, the value ``2'' of the Z register is accumulated by the area of the T register, and the value is set according to the elapsed game time. Step Do) The first ball shown in FIG. 1o is set to "8" according to the timer flag 4. This “8
' is the number of points scored by the first pole taken by player IO.

Next, the value of the control unit 25FiA buffer is +1 to ``1''.
” and note that the score calculation for the first ball is completed (step D7), and the number of scores in the Z register above is “
12" (step D), and set the value rIJ of the A buffer to the B buffer. Step D9
), the value ``1'' in the B buffer is sequentially decremented by 1 until it becomes ``0'' (step D1゜, D,...), that is, the value in the 2nd register is doubled by the area of the B buffer, and the number of ball receivers is (Step D1 □), but at the first pole it becomes "0" immediately, so do not double it, but set the Z register value "8" to the Z register that stores the total score. (Step D13).

Then, the control unit 25 sends a signal to the buzzer circuit 24 to generate an additional sound (step D14), and changes the value of the Z register to "
8” is displayed on the numerical display section 13 (step Dla),
The value of the y register [4J is reduced by 1 to "3" (step D+
a), above step D.

~D1. This operation is repeated until the value of the y register becomes "0" and the score addition according to the number of balls received by the player 10 is completed (step D17).

In this case, the control unit 25 sets the value of the buffer to "2" in step D7 in the second repetition 9, so step D
12 score doubling process is performed once and the score of 2 registers is
16", and in step D, the value of the 2nd register is "8".
”, r32J is added in the third repetition, and “64” is added in the fourth repetition. After the addition of four poles is completed, the score of 8+16+52+64==120 shown in the third row from the bottom of the right side of Fig. 10 is displayed as shown in Fig. 9 (power), and the value of the y register becomes roJ. The scoring process ends.

Also, as shown in the upper part of Figure 10, when the remaining time is less than 10 seconds and the value of the T register becomes "0", the score is 8.
Since each item is worth one point, the control unit 25 performs step D2.
After determining that the value of the T register is "0", l'-IJ is preset in the 2nd register (step DIM)' This operation is repeated by the number of balls received. - T within 10 seconds after the start of the game as shown in the lower right of Figure 10
When the value of the register is "6", the score value of the fourth ball is particularly high, 200 points, so the value of the T register is "6".
Therefore, it is determined in step Dδ that the value of the 2 register is 2
Step D1. ), the value of the z register is set to 200 (step Dzo), and points are added.

<Game level up process> When the score addition process is completed in this way (step E +
In step E2, it is determined whether the score of the control unit 251'tZ register exceeds the target score N=1000 points.
), if it has not been exceeded, continue playing the game! Well, let's continue, but now! As shown in FIG. 9 (8), if the point exceeds 1005, 1005-1o Oo=5 is set in the Z register (step Ea). Next, the control unit 25 adds 1 to the value of the L register that stores the memory level in the RAM 17 to change the level contents from rL-IJ to rL-2J (step E4), and displays the level of rL-2J as shown in FIG. 9 (9). As shown, n is displayed on the numerical display section 13 for 1.5 seconds (steps Es, Ea). Then, the control unit 25 sets the Z register to "5" as shown in FIG. 901.
Display the value of on the numerical display section 13 (step E7),
Difficult rL with improved game content
Start the 2J game.

In this way, the 5 points exceeding 1000 points in the rL-1J game are carried over to the rI, -2J game.

In this case, the rL-2J game has a difficult game content in which the control section 25 speeds up the tempo of the control signal to speed up the game progress.

In this way, the game is played while adding points, and if 60 seconds pass or the player misses the ball 8, or the ball 9
The game ends when there are four equal mistakes.

In the above embodiment, the rL-2J game is a fast and difficult game, but it may be made so that there are more obstacles, such as more Tarakura-9s appearing, and the level of the game can be increased from rL-IJ to rT. There may be not only two steps to -2J but also three or more steps. In addition to Zarakar, the game may include other games such as halley, roulette, racing, and chips, and the target score for improving the level of the game may be any number of points other than 1000 points.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, in the present invention, when the score exceeds the target score and the game content is leveled up, the amount exceeding the target score is carried over to the next game, so the level of the game content is improved. The amount of points that exceed the target score will not be cleared, and all the points you have acquired will be effectively used, so you will not be able to get close to the target score and only need to collect the points that will reach the target score, so you can always enjoy the game. This has the effect that the player can pitch with all his might and does not lose his desire to play.
