Description

The invention relates to control devices for television games and can be used in carrying out the latter.

The aim of the invention is to increase the entertainment of the game by taking into account the changing gaming visual images "

In Fig "1 presents a structural diagram of the device; figure 2 is a functional diagram of the selection and formation of the game figure; on figs signal conditioners of horizontal, vertical and diagonal elements of the game figure.

The device for conducting television games contains a clock 1, the outputs of which are connected to the outputs of the shaper 2 of the clock signal and the outputs of the reverse shift registers 3 and 4, shapers 5-7 signals of horizontal, vertical, diagonal elements of the game figure, AND-OR elements 8 - 10 the outputs of which are connected to the inputs of the shaper 11 of the full video signal, the output of which is connected to the input of the television monitor 12.

The third output of the clock 1 is connected to the input of the timer 13, the output of which controls the random number generator 14, the outputs of the latter are connected directly to the address inputs of block 15 of memory ₀

The outputs of the memory block 15 are connected to the inputs of the AND-OR elements 8 - 10 and the first inputs of the logical coincidence block 16, the second inputs of which are connected to the outputs of the game control panel 17 ”

Block 16 logical matches associated with the shapers 18 and 19 of the control and reset pulses, respectively.

On Fig, 2 presents a functional diagram of the selection and formation of a game figure.

Shapers 5-7 signals of horizontal, vertical and diagonal elements of the game figure are combinational circuits 20 - 25 of the logical elements of the type AND, OR. Their outputs are connected to the inputs of the elements And 26 - 31 and through the elements OR 32, 33 and 34 - with the inputs of the shaper 11 of the full video signal.

The timer 13 contains two counters 35 and 36, the outputs of which are connected to the binary code comparison unit 37 ” ₅ The random number generator 14 has an input pulse generator 38, a counter 39, a register 40 and an OR element 41.

Block 16 logical matches of soyu holds the comparison circuit 42, the register 43, the element OR 44 and the counter 45 of the number of keystrokes on the remote control 17.

The driver 18 of the control pulses15 contains an element And 46 and 47 and an inverter 48,

The reset pulse generator 19 contains a differentiating circuit consisting of a capacitor 49 and a resistor 50, after which an inverter 51 is installed. Through the OR element 52, the counter 45 is set to 0.

In Fig. 3, an example of the practical implementation of the formers of horizontal, vertical, and diagonal elements of a game is presented. To form the elements of the figure, the elements OR 53 - 55 and I 56 - 61 are used.

The node for generating a signal of a game figure includes shapers 5-7 signals of horizontal, vertical, and diagonal elements _{2-5 of the} game figure.

The device operates as follows "

Synchronizer 1, which generally consists of 40 sequentially connected input frequency generators and two chain dividers, forms horizontal (per line) and vertical (per frame) discretization elements, of which line and frame sync pulses are formed by body 2, as well as a sync mixture »Pulses horizontal and vertical sampling clock 1 with outputs fed to WMOs ₅₀ rows reversible shift registers 3 and 4, whose outputs are connected to inputs 5-7 formers horizontal, vertical and the diagonal elements of the game figure (sm.fig.2;

remote control 17). The outputs of the shapers 5-7 are connected to the inputs of the three-input elements And 26 - 31, the total number of which is equal to the number of elements of the game figure (in the example there are 16). The second inputs of these elements AND receive a signal of permission to display from the output of circuit 37 for comparing timer 13, and to the third - signals from the outputs of block 15 of the memory. The outputs of the elements And 26 - 31 are combined by the elements OR 32 - 34. With the simultaneous coincidence of all three signals at the inputs of any element And on the u screen of the television monitor 12 displays the corresponding element of the game figure.

The capacity of each cell of the memory block 15 is 16, i.e., _{about the} number of elements of the game piece. During the game, the TV monitor 12 displays one of the possible combinations, representing a combination of eight elements out of 16, the total number of possible 20 combinations for the above game figure C, _e = 12870,

Thus, _{9 the} capacity of the memory block is defined as the product of 12870'16, 25

At the beginning of the game, an initial number is written in the counter 36 of the timer 13, which determines the duration of the display on the TV monitor 12 of the figure, the code of which 30 is currently present at the output of the memory unit 15. Counter 35 mbment appearance shapes on the screen begins counting time intervals of, for example, 1 s At a time ₃₅ when the counters 35 and 36 become equal, node 37 appears level 0 "at its output which closes elements minutes 26 - 31, and the image of the figure on the screen disappears. The player who plays 40 for a certain time set by the timer must reproduce this figure from memory by pressing the necessary keys on the remote control 17, Each key press through the OR element 45 44 is considered counter 45. After the eighth press, the former 19 generates a pulse that sets the counters to zero 35 and 45, and also reads into the register 40 a random number corresponding to a random cell address of the memory block 15.

The code at the output of the latter changes; therefore, the appearance of the figure displayed on the screen also changes. Kro- ₅₅ IU of a reset pulse from the output invariant, vertora 51 is supplied to inputs of AND gates 46 and 47, to the second input of which receives the signal from the comparison circuit 16, the logical block matches. If the answer is correct, the pulse from the output of the And 46 element is fed to the subtracting input of the reverse counter 36 and a unit is subtracted from its contents, i.e., ₀ reduces the exposure time of the game figure on the screen. If the answer is incorrect, on the contrary, the pulse from the output of the AND 47 element adds one to the contents of the counter 36 and the exposure time of the figure on the screen increases. If during the time allotted for the answer, the player does not have time to answer, i.e. successively press eight keys on the remote 17, the pulse from the output of the counter 35 is fed to the input of the OR element 41 and the next random number is read into the register 40. This leads to a change in the figure on the screen. The same pulse sets the counter 45 to zero through the element OR 52.

The output signals of the shaper 2 of the sync mixture and the elements of the ILI 32 - 34 are fed to the inputs of the shaper 11, where, summing up at certain levels, form a complete video signal.

The use of the invention increases the entertainment of the game by taking into account the changing gaming visual images.
