Each of the players p1, p2, p3 and p4 moves the characters Ch1, Ch2, Ch3 and Ch4 on the ground GR using the block arrangement panel and the coding blocks, ≪ / RTI > event.

For example, each of the players p1, p2, p3, and p4 has a moving path to the target TG of each character to move each of the characters Ch1, Ch2, Ch3, and Ch4 to the target TG. Is coded by using the block arrangement panel and the coding blocks of each player.

At this time, each player (p1, p2, p3, p4) moves the characters Ch1, Ch2, Ch3, Ch4, The moving path of each character can be coded using the coding blocks in consideration of the elements such as the obstacles Ba1, Ba2, Ba3, Ba4, etc. (i.e., the character can code the moving path that can reach the target by avoiding the obstacle It will do.

Here, coding the movement path of the character is performed by each of the players using the coding blocks 200-1, 200-2, 200-3, and 200-4 as the block arrangement panels 300-1, 300-2, 300-3, 300 -4), and the method of recognizing the direction information of each of the embedded coding blocks has been described above. Therefore, A detailed description of the present invention will be omitted.

FIG. 10 shows an example of content progression in which a character moves on the ground on an image as a moving path is coded by using a block arrangement panel and coding blocks according to the coding training contents providing apparatus shown in FIG.

The video content provided by the apparatus for providing a coding training content according to an embodiment of the present invention allows the character to move from the starting point SP to the target TG in accordance with the moving path coding of the player as described above, TG), and then the character is returned from the target TG to the starting point SP in accordance with the movement path coding of the player again.

10 (a) shows a case where a character moves from a starting point to a target in accordance with a moving path coding of the player, and FIG. 10 (b) shows a case in which a character moves according to a moving path coding of the player after the character reaches a target And returns to the starting point from the target.

As shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, in the content provided by the coding training contents providing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, The character Ch is located at the start point SP of the target GR and the target TG is located at the center of the ground GR and the obstacle Ba is located between the target TG and the start point SP .

At this time, the player inserts the coding blocks in phases of 200a, 200b, 200c, 200d, 200e, and 200f in each of the plurality of coding grooves on the block arrangement panel 300 and presses the input unit 360, The panel control unit senses the phases of the respective embedded coding blocks from the sensing sensors of the respective coding grooves and transmits the direction information indicated by the respective embedded coding blocks to the control unit.

10A, the control unit compares the d1 direction indicated by the 200a coding block, the d2 direction indicated by the 200b coding block, the d3 direction indicated by the 200c coding block, the d4 direction indicated by the 200d coding block, And controls the content to move the character Ch from the start point SP in accordance with the movement path composed of the d5 direction indicated by the block and the d6 direction indicated by the 200f coding block.

10 (b), after the character Ch reaches the target TG and acquires the target (in the video contents shown in Figs. 10 (a) and 10 (b) The player moves the moving path coding using the coding blocks 200a to 200f. Then, the control unit controls the coding blocks in the direction from d1 to d6 So that the character Ch can be moved back to the starting point SP again.

10A and 10B, when the squirrel as the character Ch acquires the acorn which is the target TG and then returns to the starting point SP, one acorn is obtained in this way A game method in which a player who first acquires a predetermined number of acorns is victorious.

According to the coding of the moving path as shown in Figs. 10A and 10B, the character Ch can bypass the obstacle Ba to reach the target TG, and by the coding of another moving path It is of course possible to move the character Ch to the target TG.

In other words, the player can use his or her own creativity and logic to code the movement path to effectively move the character to the target.

In addition, the video content provided by the apparatus for providing a coding training content according to an embodiment of the present invention may provide a simple content such as a simple return of a character from a starting point to a target or a point after a target is acquired again However, it is possible to provide game contents in a more various situation and progress manner so that the player can code a more creative moving route.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, the control unit can set the teleport points G1, G2, G3 and G4 to be located at specific positions of the ground GR, The control unit causes the character Ch to move to a predetermined position or a random position in the ground GR (see (b) of FIG. 11) when reaching the teleport point G1 ), And the character Ch is moved again according to the movement path coding at the teleported position.

If the player can not easily move the character to the target because a large number of obstacles exist between the starting point SP and the target TG as shown in Figs. 11A and 11B, When the character Ch is teleported and moves to a specific position or a random position, the character Ch is easily moved to the target (TG) by coding the movement route to the target TG, TG), so that the game progress can be made by more creative thinking.

The character Ch may not be moved when the character Ch reaches the teleport point G1 but may be displayed in another manner. For example, the character Ch that has reached the teleport point G1 disappears, It is also possible to provide the image contents such that the character Ch is generated and positioned at a predetermined position or a random position on the screen GR.

Meanwhile, according to the present invention, as described above, the moving picture coding using the coding block of the player enables the character to move along the coded moving path on the ground, It is possible to provide image contents according to coding.

For example, in the state where the active grid AC and the inactive portion NA are formed on the ground GR and the positions of the start point SP and the target point TG are set as shown in Fig. 12, The active grid AC on the movement path is sequentially displayed by lighting or color display as the movement path coded by the coded blocks 200a to 200f arranged on the block arrangement panel 300 is recognized It is possible to provide the image contents to be moved from the starting point SP to the target point TG.

12, when the player sequentially places the coding blocks 200a to 200f in the block arrangement panel 300 and then presses the input unit 360, the control unit controls the coding units 200a to 200f The active grid A1 in the direction indicated by the 200a coding block is lighted from the starting point SP on the image and the active grid A2 in the direction indicated by the 200b coding block is lighted from there, The active grid A3 in the direction indicated by the 200c coding block is turned on and the active grid A4 in the direction indicated by the 200d coding block is lighted from there and the active grid A5 in the direction indicated by the 200e coding block is lighted therefrom, To reach the target point TG in the direction indicated by the 200f coded block from there.
