Description

Insect robot game system {insect robot game system}

The present invention relates to an insect robot game system, and more specifically, when a receiving sensor installed in a target unit receives a signal transmitted from a survival gun by manipulation by the user, it determines whether a hit is made to the target unit, and determines whether a hit is made. This relates to an insect robot game system that provides information about target units to the user.

A shooting game refers to a game in which points are earned by firing a projectile at a target with a set score using a launcher and hitting the target. These shooting games require a large game space because they require bullets to hit flying objects, and due to concerns about being hit by bullets, they were not actually implemented and were mainly implemented through entertainment electronic devices. However, shooting games using recreational electronic devices had the disadvantage of lacking realism and immersion because the game was played while looking at the game screen from a fixed position indoors.

However, in modern times, hardware and information technology such as computers, virtual devices, sensors, communication technology, and mobile devices are developing rapidly, and in current shooting games, technologies for playing virtual games using the above devices are being developed. In particular, current shooting games allow users to actually actively move in a virtual game space, feel realistic by hitting targets using virtual devices, and provide game information to users for greater fun and immersion. There is a demand for the development of a shooting game that can provide this.
