　図８（ａ）は、画像表示部１０によって表示エリア３に表示されるダーツゲームに係る画像の一例である。例えば、第１表示エリア３Ａにはラウンド数やスコアが表示される。また、例えば、第２表示エリア３Ｂには、ダーツゲームの標的３００が表示される。 FIG. 8A is an example of an image according to the dart game displayed on the display area 3 by the image display unit 10. For example, the number of rounds and the score are displayed in the first display area 3A. Further, for example, the target 300 of the dart game is displayed in the second display area 3B.
　画像表示部１０は、プレイヤがマグネットダーツ４を投擲する前において、標的３００の表示態様を変化させてもよい。例えば、図８（ｂ）に示すとおり、標的３００が画面右側へ徐々に移動するように表示してもよい。或いは、図８（ｃ）に示すとおり、標的３００の寸法が徐々に変化するように表示してもよい。当該構成により、プレイヤは時々刻々と態様が変化する標的３００を狙ってマグネットダーツ４を投擲することとなるため、ダーツゲームの趣向性が向上する。説明した標的３００の表示態様の変化の仕方は一例であって、他の任意の変化の仕方を採用してもよい。 The image display unit 10 may change the display mode of the target 300 before the player throws the magnet dart 4. For example, as shown in FIG. 8B, the target 300 may be displayed so as to gradually move to the right side of the screen. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 8C, the dimensions of the target 300 may be displayed so as to gradually change. With this configuration, the player aims at the target 300 whose aspect changes from time to time and throws the magnet dart 4 on it, so that the dart game's taste improves. The manner of change of the display aspect of the target 300 described is one example, and any other manner of change may be adopted.
　画像表示部１０は、プレイヤが投擲したマグネットダーツ４が標的３００に当的した後において、標的３００の表示態様を変化させてもよい。例えば、図８（ｄ）に示すとおり、マグネットダーツ４が当的したセグメント３１０が種々の態様で強調表示されるように表示してもよい。当該構成により、プレイヤはマグネットダーツ４が標的３００に当的したことを、より臨場感をもって知覚できるため、ダーツゲームの趣向性が向上する。説明した強調表示の態様は一例であって、他の任意の強調表示の態様を採用してもよい。 The image display unit 10 may change the display mode of the target 300 after the magnetic dart 4 thrown by the player hits the target 300. For example, as shown in FIG. 8D, the segment 310 to which the magnetic dart 4 is applied may be displayed so as to be highlighted in various manners. With this configuration, the player can more realistically perceive that the magnet dart 4 has hit the target 300, so that the dart game's ingenuity is improved. The highlighting aspect described is an example, and any other highlighting aspect may be adopted.
　画像表示部１０は、ダーツゲームの進行に応じて、種々の演出用オブジェクトを表示してもよい。例えば、図８（ｄ）に示すとおり、第１表示エリア３Ａにおいて、演出用オブジェクト３２０（当該図では山を表す模式図として示されている）を表示してもよい。また、例えば、図８（ｄ）に示すとおり、第２表示エリア３Ｂにおいて、演出用オブジェクト３３０（当該図では稲妻を表す模式図として示されている）を表示してもよい。当該構成により、プレイヤはダーツゲームの進行に応じて種々の演出を知覚できるため、ダーツゲームの趣向性が向上する。説明した演出用オブジェクトは一例であって、他の任意の演出用オブジェクトを採用してもよい。 The image display unit 10 may display various effect objects in accordance with the progress of the dart game. For example, as shown in FIG. 8D, in the first display area 3A, a rendering object 320 (shown as a schematic diagram representing a mountain in the figure) may be displayed. Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 8D, in the second display area 3B, a rendering object 330 (shown as a schematic diagram representing lightning in the figure) may be displayed. According to this configuration, the player can perceive various effects in accordance with the progress of the dart game, and thus the dart game is improved in taste. The described rendering object is an example, and any other rendering object may be adopted.
［変形例］
　第１実施形態においては、画像表示部１０はＸＹ平面視において略矩形であった。しかしながら、これに限られず、画像表示部１０のＸＹ平面視の形状は、略三角形、略五角形等の多角形、円形、楕円形、直線部及び曲線部からなる形状、その他任意の不定形であってもよい。 [Modification]
In the first embodiment, the image display unit 10 is substantially rectangular in the XY plan view. However, the present invention is not limited to this, the shape of the image display unit 10 in the XY plan view is a substantially triangular shape, a polygonal shape such as a substantially pentagonal shape, a circular shape, an elliptical shape, a linear portion and a curved portion, or any other arbitrary shape. May be
　第１実施形態においては、ダーツ保持部３０は、画像表示部１０の所定の高さ（Ｙ軸方向の所定位置）以下の部分を覆うように配置されるものとした。しかしながら、これに限られず、ダーツ保持部３０は、画像表示部１０の所定の高さ（Ｙ軸方向の所定位置）以上の部分等、任意の部分を覆うように配置されてもよい。或いは、ダーツ保持部３０は、画像表示部１０の全体を覆うように配置されてもよい。 In the first embodiment, the dart holding unit 30 is disposed so as to cover a portion equal to or less than a predetermined height (a predetermined position in the Y-axis direction) of the image display unit 10. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the dart holding unit 30 may be disposed so as to cover an arbitrary portion such as a portion having a predetermined height (a predetermined position in the Y-axis direction) or more of the image display unit 10. Alternatively, the dart holding unit 30 may be arranged to cover the entire image display unit 10.
　ダーツ保持部３０に設けられた各ホール３０Ｈの形状、寸法、ピッチ、配列態様、その他のパラメータは、画像表示部１０が表示する画像がダーツ保持部３０を介して視認可能であれば、任意に設定してもよい。 The shape, size, pitch, arrangement mode, and other parameters of each hole 30H provided in the dart holding unit 30 are arbitrarily determined as long as the image displayed by the image display unit 10 can be viewed through the dart holding unit 30. It may be set.
　例えば、第１実施形態においては、ホール３０Ｈは略円筒状であるものとした。すなわち、ホール３０ＨのＸＹ平面視の形状が略円であるものとした。しかしながら、これに限られず、ホール３０ＨのＸＹ平面視の形状は、楕円、略多角形、その他の不定形であってもよい。 For example, in the first embodiment, the holes 30H have a substantially cylindrical shape. That is, the shape of the hole 30H in an XY plan view is a substantially circular shape. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the shape of the hole 30H in an XY plan view may be an ellipse, a substantially polygonal shape, or another irregular shape.
　また、例えば、第１実施形態においては、各ホール３０Ｈは、ダーツ保持部３０の厚み方向（Ｚ軸方向）における径が一定であるものとした。しかしながら、これに限られず、各ホール３０Ｈのダーツ保持部３０の厚み方向における径は、一定でなくてもよい。例えば、図９に示すとおり、プレイヤ側（画像表示部１０とは反対側、すなわちＺ軸負方向側）における開口部の径Ｄ１が、プレイヤとは反対側（画像表示部１０側、すなわちＺ軸正方向側）における開口部の径Ｄ２よりも大きいものとしてもよい。この態様によれば、パネル部２０２の視野角が広がる。そのため、プレイヤは投擲を行う立ち位置を所定の幅をもって選択することができるようになり、ゲームの趣向性が向上する。 Further, for example, in the first embodiment, the diameter of each hole 30H in the thickness direction (Z-axis direction) of the dart holding portion 30 is constant. However, the diameter is not limited to this, and the diameter in the thickness direction of the dart holding portion 30 of each hole 30H may not be constant. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the diameter D1 of the opening on the player side (the side opposite to the image display unit 10, ie, the negative direction of the Z axis) is the side opposite to the player (the side of the image display unit 10, ie, the Z axis) It may be larger than the diameter D2 of the opening on the positive direction side). According to this aspect, the viewing angle of the panel unit 202 is expanded. Therefore, the player can select the standing position at which the player throws a ball with a predetermined width, and the game's ingenuity is improved.
　また、例えば、第１実施形態においては、複数のホール３０Ｈは、Ｘ軸方向及びＹ軸方向それぞれにおいて所定のピッチで配列されるものとした。すなわち、ホール３０ＨのＸＹ平面における密度（単位面積当たりに含まれる複数のホール３０Ｈの面積の合計値の割合）がダーツ保持部３０上の位置に寄らず一定であるものとした。しかしながら、これに限られず、例えば、ホール３０ＨのＸＹ平面における密度は、一様でなく、ダーツ保持部３０上の位置に応じて異なるものとしてもよい。この態様によれば、ダーツ保持部３０によるマグネットダーツ４を保持する力が表示エリア３内の位置に応じて変化するため、投擲ゲームの趣向性が向上する。更に、この態様によれば、ダーツゲームに係る画像の視認性が表示エリア３内の位置に応じて変化するため、投擲ゲームの趣向性が向上する。 Further, for example, in the first embodiment, the plurality of holes 30H are arranged at a predetermined pitch in each of the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction. That is, the density of the holes 30H in the XY plane (the ratio of the total value of the areas of the plurality of holes 30H included in a unit area) is constant regardless of the position on the dart holding portion 30. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the density of the holes 30H in the XY plane may not be uniform, and may be different depending on the position on the dart holder 30. According to this aspect, since the force of holding the magnet darts 4 by the dart holding unit 30 changes in accordance with the position in the display area 3, the attractiveness of the throwing game is improved. Furthermore, according to this aspect, since the visibility of the image according to the dart game changes in accordance with the position in the display area 3, the attractiveness of the throwing game is improved.
　第１実施形態においては、ダーツゲームを例に説明を行った。しかしながら、本発明は、ダーツゲームに限らず、磁石を有する投擲器具を用いた任意の投擲ゲームに適用可能である。 In the first embodiment, the dart game has been described as an example. However, the present invention is applicable not only to dart games but also to any throwing games using a throwing device having a magnet.
　以上説明した実施形態は、本発明の理解を容易にするためのものであり、本発明を限定して解釈するためのものではない。実施形態が備える各要素並びにその配置、材料、条件、形状及びサイズ等は、例示したものに限定されるわけではなく適宜変更することができる。また、異なる実施形態で示した構成同士を部分的に置換し又は組み合わせることが可能である。 The embodiments described above are for the purpose of facilitating the understanding of the present invention, and are not for the purpose of limiting the present invention. The elements included in the embodiment and the arrangement, the material, the conditions, the shape, the size, and the like of the elements are not limited to those illustrated, and can be changed as appropriate.
