Fig. 1 is a functional diagram of an electronic gaming control device of the invention indicating all logical connections; figure 2 is one of the variants of the circuit implementations of the second counter and the display unit; on Fig.3 - one of the variants of the drawing of the game panel of the device with the placement of the game controls. and elements of indication of the course of the game and the achieved result ..

The electronic game control device (FIG. 1) comprises 4, a game mode key 1, a pulse generator 2, a first counter 3, a decoder 4, a first indication unit 5, a reset key 6, a second counter 7, a second indication unit 8, a turn key 9, and -NOT 10, the first to fourth elements AND 11, 12, 13, 14 and OR 15, 16, 17, 18, the fifth element AND 19, the first to fourth registers 20, 21, 22, 23 shift, the third and fourth nodes 25, 24 indications, inverters 26.

The second counter 7 and the second node 8 of the display (figure 2) contain; binary decimal counters 33, code converters 34, AND-NOT 35 elements, and indicators 36.

The electronic game control device can be made in the form of a desktop board with a game panel (see Fig. 3) with game indicators installed on it in the form of a picture of a conditional atom with three orbits of electrons: externally (four indicators) medium (eight indicators) and internal ( four indicators). The panel also contains a board indicating the number of moves spent (from 00 to 99) and game controls: move, reset, game mode keys, and corresponding inscriptions.

The game mode key 1 and the pulse generator 2, interconnected, are designed to form a continuous sequence of clock signals of the required frequency (one of two: accelerated or slowed down game modes).

The first counter 3 is intended for receiving from the generator 2 a continuous sequence of clock signals and generating continuous bursts at the output. periodic values of a 3-bit binary code from 000 to 111.

Decoder 4 is designed to convert the input binary 3-bit code from the counter 3 to the positional 8-bit output code from O to 7 for a constant (in accordance with the frequency of the 2-pulse generator} alternately turning the node indicators on and off (blinking) 5. In addition, the first, third, fifth, seventh outputs of the decoder are connected respectively to the elements And 11, 12, 13, 14 and V-inputs of the shift registers 20, 21, 22, 23, and the eighth output to the input of the element And 19 .

The reset key 6 is designed to set the counter 7 and shift registers 20, 21, 22, 23 to the zero state (through the AND-NOT element 10, the blocking of the AND element 19 is released).

The second counter 7 is intended for receiving signals from the output of the turn key 9 when it is pressed, counting them during the game until the end result is reached, storing the number of moves code and issuing it to the inputs of the second display unit 8 for display and visual perception.

The key 9 of the move is designed to lead the game and is connected by an output for this with the inputs of the elements 11, 12, 13, 14,

The AND-NOT element 10 is designed to generate a blocking signal prohibiting the passage of the register shift signal through the And element 19 and prohibiting the operation of the second counter 7.

Elements 11, 12, 13, 14 are intended for generating recording control signals 1 at inputs C2 at inputs D1 of corresponding shift registers 20-23.

OR elements 15-18 are intended to analyze the state of shift registers (zero or at least one unit).

Shift registers 20, 21, 22, 23 are designed to memorize the moment the corresponding indicator of the display unit 25 is turned on for up to three complete cycles of operation of the counter 3.

The third display unit 24 is intended to display the blinking electrons of the outer orbit of the conditional atom.

The fourth display unit 25 is for displaying electrons to be switched on when transferring them from external to internal orbit.

When the device is turned on and the reset key 6 is pressed, the circuit operates as follows.

At the output of the pulse generator 2, clock signals of the selected frequency appear (for example, 4.0 Hz or 2.0 Hz depending on the position of the game mode key 1), which are fed to the first 3-bit binary counter, forming continuous bursts of values 3 -bit binary code from 000 to 111.

This code is continuously converted by the decoder 4 into a positional 8-bit code, which is fed to the inputs of the corresponding indicators of the display unit 5 and ensures their constant on-off. In this way, eight indicators of the middle orbit (eight electrons of the middle orbit of the conventional atom) are alternately clockwise flashing.

In addition, due to the lack of the contents of the shift registers 20-23 and the output signals from the OR elements 15-18, the on-off frequency of the 2 pulses of the four indicators of the four indicators of the indication unit 24 is provided, which corresponds to the flashing of 4 electrons of the outer orbit of the conditional atom.

The game is this. so that the player, due to his attentiveness and speed of reaction to visual information, accurately and quickly presses (turned on) the key 9 of the move at the moment of synchronously turning on (blinking) the indicator of the outer orbit and the radius of the middle orbit that coincides in radius (adjacent to it), ensuring prompt translation of all four flashing electrons of the outer orbit of the conditional atom to the inner one (corresponding to the ignition of indicator-electrons) in the minimum possible number of moves (pressing the 9th key), i.e. achievement of a goal with a minimum expenditure of a resource.

The order of actions of the player and the operation of the device circuit are as follows.

At the moment of coincidence of the flashes, for example (see Fig. 3), the indicator 1-1 of the outer orbit and the indicator 1-2 of the middle orbit, the player presses the key 9 moves. In this case, the second counter 7 at the counting input is triggered, remembers this press and issues the corresponding code to the second display unit 8 for displaying and visually perceiving the number of moves to the players. In this case, the indicated nodes 7 and 8 work similarly and upon subsequent pressing of the travel key 9.

The output of the travel key 9, in addition to counter 7, also goes to the inputs of the elements And 11-14, the second inputs of which alternately receive signals from the first, third, fifth and seventh outputs of the decoder 4, which respectively also arrive at V- inputs of the registers 20-23 shift. The element And, in which there was a coincidence of the signals of the key 9 of the move and the decoder 4, in our example, on the element And 11. In this case, the inputs C2

0 and V of only the first register 20 of the shift in the TC signals, providing the input of information into this register at the input D1 (unit record). At the same time, at the output of only the OR element 15,

5 for the period of three full operations of the decoder 4, a constant signal that turns off the blinking of the indicator 1-1 of the display unit 24 and turns on the constant light (without blinking) of the indicator 1-3 of the display unit 25. In this way, the transition of a given first electron of a conditional atom from an external to an internal orbit is simulated. With the correct subsequent actions of the player, the remaining second ones are triggered. the third and fourth shift registers 21, 22, 23 (in any order according to the actions of the player), the OR elements 16, 17, 18 and the blinking of the indicators 2-1, 3-1, 4-1 of the display unit 24 and turns off

0, the glow of indicators 2-3, 3-3, 4-3 of the display unit 25 is turned on, which corresponds to simulating the transition of the remaining three electrons of a conditional atom from an external to an internal orbit.

5 After turning on the fourth (last) indicator of the display unit 25, the AND-NOT 10 element is activated, which prohibits the passage of shift signals from the eighth output of the decoder 4 through the And 19 element

0 to the inputs C1 of the shift registers 20-23 and prohibits the operation (blocks by input) of the second counter 7, which remembered the number of moves (pressing the key 9 playing) spent to transfer all electrons from

5 of the outer orbit to the inner one and no longer responds to pressing key 9 moves.

In order to increase the entertainingness of the game, the device further implements the following algorithm for operating the circuit. If

0 playing during the time of three full operations of counter 3 (from 000 to 111), i.e. during three alternately clockwise illuminations of eight indicators 1-2, 2-2, 3-2, 4-2, 5-2, 6-2, 7-2, 8-2 of the indication unit 5 (middle orbit) transferred all four electrons from the outer orbit to the inner one, after three shifts along the C1 input, the first shift register 20 is set to zero, the signal disappears at the output of the OR element 15, which leads

stopping the glow of the indicator 1-3 of the display unit 25 and the blinking of the indicator 1-1 of the display unit 24. This corresponds to simulating the reverse transition of the first electron of a conditional atom from an internal orbit to an external one. And the player has to try repeatedly to transfer this electron to the inner orbit. The game then continues until all four electrons are in the inner orbit.

The second counter 7 and the second display unit 8 thus display the spent resource (number of moves) to achieve the final result.

To start a new game cycle, the player must press the reset key 6 for 2-3 seconds and unlock the counter 7 and the And 19 element.

The device operates at two frequencies of a pulse generator 2, which allows the game to be played in slow motion or accelerated mode.

The use of the invention under conditions of slow or fast game modes, flexible punishment due to slow, inaccurate response to the game state and non-dynamic actions of the player with a corresponding assessment of the game in the number of moves spent to achieve the final result increased its amusement.

This ensures a clear dynamic organization of the game with a constant variable visual indication of the state of the game (flashing clockwise eight indicators of the first indicator node, flashing four indicators of the third indicator node, turning them off alternately and turning on the indicators of the fourth indicator node), displaying the spent resources (number of moves), automatic fixation and game stop.
