(First embodiment)
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings and the like.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a game system 1 according to the first embodiment.
FIG. 2 is a side view (viewed from the right side X1) showing the configuration of the game system 1 of the first embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 1, the game system 1 is a large-sized device having a width of about 1.5 m in the left-right direction X, a length of about 2 m in the depth direction Y, and a height of about 1.5 m in the vertical direction Z. Installed in stores such as game centers.

The game system 1 is a device that can play a game table turnover. When the player P is operated so that the table 12 (plate-like member) imitating the table is actually turned over, the flight element 33 flies in the virtual space. As a result, the player P can experience a simulated turnover. In addition, the game system 1 gives a score to the player P according to the flight result of the flight element 33, so that the player P can compete for the skill of the turn-around game.
The game system 1 includes an input device 10 and a game machine body 20.
As shown in FIG. 2, the input device 10 includes a button 11, a table 12, a damper 13 (rotational speed reduction means), an encoder 14 (rotation detection means), and a pressure sensor 15 (hit detection means). ing.
The button 11 is a push button that is operated by the player P as necessary at the start of play or at the time of play progress. When operated, the button 11 outputs a signal to the control unit 60 (see FIG. 3).

The table 12 is a member simulating a cha table, and includes a disk having a diameter of about 1 m and legs 12c for supporting the disk. The table 12 is supported so as to be rotatable between a horizontal position H where the surface 12a is horizontal and a fall position V where the surface 12a is vertical, and its rotating shaft 12d is parallel to the left-right direction X, and It is set to the lower side Z1 from the base of the foot 12c on the side Y2. The table 12 is rotated from the horizontal position H to the collapsed position V by operating the edge 12b of the front side Y1 so that the player P lifts up, that is, by turning the table upside down. To do.
When the table 12 is rotationally operated from the horizontal position H toward the fall position V, the table 12 is provided in the game machine main body 20 and abuts against the stopper 21 and is disposed at the fall position V. Thereafter, the table 12 is supported so as to naturally rotate and return from the fall position V to the horizontal position H. In order to support the table 12 in this way, it is only necessary to set the center of gravity of the table 12 itself to be closer to the front side Y1 than the fulcrum when the table 12 is in the fall position V. Alternatively, a driving device may be provided, and the table 12 may be rotationally driven from the fall position V toward the horizontal position H until the table 12 returns to the horizontal position H by its own weight.

The damper 13 is an attenuation device for applying a load in the rotational direction to the table 12 to reduce the rotational speed of the table 12 in the process in which the table 12 is rotated by its own weight from the fall position to the horizontal position H. . The damper 13 does not apply a load to the table 12 in the process of rotating the table 12 from the horizontal position H to the fall position V. That is, the damper 13 is a unidirectional rotary damper. The damper 13 is a combination of a one-way clutch that idles from the horizontal position H to the fall position V and cannot rotate from the fall position V to the horizontal position H, and a damper that generates torque in both rotation directions. Can be used.
Thus, the input device 10 can prevent the table 12 from rapidly returning to the horizontal position H in the process in which the table 12 is rotated from the fall position V to the horizontal position H.

The encoder 14 is an optical rotary encoder that detects the rotational state of the table 12. The encoder 14 is provided on the rotary shaft 12d of the table 12, and detects the rotational position of the table 12 and the rotational speed (angular speed). The encoder 14 outputs a detection signal to the game machine body 20.
The pressure sensor 15 is a load cell provided on the floor where the foot 12c contacts the ground in a state where the table 12 is in a horizontal position. The pressure sensor 15 detects the load applied by the foot 12c, converts it into an electrical signal, and outputs the detection signal to the game machine body 20. The pressure sensor 15 can detect that the surface 12a of the table 12 has been hit by the player P by detecting a change in load.
Note that the encoder 14 may also be used as the pressure sensor 15. In this case, based on the output of the encoder 14, the control unit 60 (see FIG. 3) may determine the output of the clockwise rotation θ1 in the figure of the table 12 arranged at the horizontal position H.

  With the above configuration, the input device 10 can rotate from the horizontal position H to the fall position V and output the rotation state of the table 12 during the rotational movement. Thereby, the input device 10 can respond to an operation of the player P turning the table 12 upside down, such as a game of turning over.

As shown in FIG. 2, the game machine main body 20 includes a monitor 30 (display means) and a vibration damping unit 40.
The monitor 30 is a display device such as a liquid crystal display device. As will be described later, the monitor 30 is somewhat large (for example, the horizontal direction X0.8 m or more, the vertical direction Z0...) So that the flight element 33 placed on the table 12 can display the state of flying in the virtual space. 4m or more) is used.
As shown in FIG. 1, the monitor 30 displays an indoor image 31, a table image 32 disposed in the room, a flying element 33, and a character 34 (target).
The indoor image 31 is an image of a room in a house (in FIG. 1, an image of a room in a Japanese house), and is composed of images of objects such as a wall 31a and a tatami 31b.
The table image 32 is an image corresponding to the table 12. A table surface image 32a (plate member surface image) which is an image of the surface is an image corresponding to the surface 12a of the table 12, and is displayed in substantially the same size as the surface 12a of the table 12.

The flying element 33 is arranged in the table surface image 32 a and is displayed as if the flying element 33 is placed on the table 12. In this scene, as the flying element 33, an image of the hot water 33a and an image of the fish 33b arranged on the plate 33c are displayed.
The character 34 is normally displayed so as to move in the indoor image 31. In this scene, as the character 34, an image of a child 34a walking on the right side X2 and an image of a cat 34b walking on the left side X1 are displayed.

  The vibration damping unit 40 is a device that attenuates the vibration of the monitor 30 that is generated when the table 12 is operated. The vibration attenuating unit 40 is a vibration attenuator including a damper and a coil spring, and is provided in each of the left-right direction X, the depth direction Y, and the vertical direction Z (the vibration attenuator in the left-right direction X is not shown). Damping vibration in each direction.

The flying element table 521 stores each flying element 33 in association with its mass 521a and rolling coefficient 521b. As will be described later, the rolling coefficient 521b is a coefficient used to calculate the subsequent movement when the flying element 33 falls on the floor.

The object table 522 stores the objects 31a to 31d in the virtual space with which the flying element 33 collides and the bounce coefficient 522a in association with each other. The bounce coefficient 522a is a coefficient representing how much the flying element 33 repels when it collides or falls on each of the objects 31a to 31d.
Further, the object table 522 stores each object 31a to 31d in association with the amount 522b and the score 522c.

The character table 524 stores each character 34 and the score 524c in association with each other.
The flight mode table 525 stores each flight mode 525a of the flight element 33 and the score 525c in association with each other.
The usage mode of each table will be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 60 is a control unit for comprehensively controlling the game system 1, and includes, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The control unit 60 reads out and executes various programs stored in the storage unit 50 as appropriate, thereby realizing various functions according to the present invention in cooperation with the hardware described above. The control unit 60 includes a rotation state determination unit 61, a flight state calculation unit 62, a play progress control unit 63, and a bus line for transmitting information between these control units as necessary. .

The rotation state determination unit 61 is a control unit that determines the rotation state of the table 12 based on the output of the encoder 14 of the input device 10. The rotation state determination unit 61 determines the rotation angle, rotation speed, and angular velocity of the table 12 with reference to the state where the surface 12a of the table 12 is at the horizontal position H.
The flying state calculation unit 62 is a control unit that calculates the flying state of the flying element 33 in accordance with the laws of physics based on the calculation formula of the game program in accordance with the output of the rotation state determination unit 61. Further, when the flight state calculation unit 62 determines that the flight element 33 has collided with the wall 31a or the like in the monitor 30 as a result of the flight, the movement state of the flight element 33 after the collision is expressed in the calculation formula of the game program. Based on the laws of physics based on.

  The play progress control unit 63 is a control unit that comprehensively controls the progress of play. According to the game program stored in the game program storage unit 51, the play progress control unit 63 performs, for example, control for outputting a video image of the play screen on the monitor 30, control for outputting sound effects to a speaker (not shown), and the like.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of the game system 1 of the first embodiment.
6, 7, and 8 are diagrams illustrating display screens of the monitor 30 according to the first embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 5, first, in step S (hereinafter simply referred to as “S”) 10, the player P inserts a coin into a coin insertion slot (not shown), whereby the control unit 60 starts processing. To do.

In S20, the play progress control unit 63 displays the stage selection screen 35 (see FIG. 6) on the monitor 30. In this play, six stages in which rooms 35a to 35f having different modes are prepared for each country such as Japan, China, and the United States are prepared, and the flying elements 33 arranged on the table surface image 32a are provided for each stage. The combination is different. When the player P operates the button 11 to determine the stage, the play progress control unit 63 starts playing the stage. Hereinafter, the case where the room of a Japanese house, that is, the Japanese-style room 35a is selected will be described.
In S30, the play progress control unit 63 displays the indoor image 31 of the Japanese-style room and the state in which the character 34 of the child 34a and the cat 34b walks and moves in the room (see FIG. 1).

In S <b> 40, the play progress control unit 63 determines whether or not the player P has hit the table 12 based on the output of the pressure sensor 15. When it is determined that the player P has struck the table 12 (S40: YES), the play progress control unit 63 proceeds to S50, and when it is determined that the player P has not struck the table 12 (S40: NO), the process proceeds to S60.
In S <b> 50, the play progress control unit 63 stops the movement of the character 34.
FIG. 7A shows that when the player P hits the table 12, the child 34a and the cat 34b stare at the near side Y1 and pay attention to the player P, and the movement of the child 34a and the cat 34b is stopped. It is a scene that was made to.
Thereby, the player P can stop the character 34 at a position where the flying element 33 hits when the flying element 33 is made to fly.

  Returning to FIG. 5, in S <b> 60, the rotation state determination unit 61 determines whether or not there is an output from the encoder 14 by operating the play progress control unit 63 to lift the table 12. When it is determined that there is an output from the encoder 14 (S60: YES), the rotation state determination unit 61 proceeds to S70. On the other hand, when it is determined that there is no output from the encoder 14 (S60: NO), S30 Repeat the process from.

  In S <b> 70, the rotation state determination unit 61 determines the rotation angle, rotation speed, and angular velocity of the table 12 based on the output of the encoder 14. Then, when the flying element is actually placed at a position corresponding to the arrangement of the flying element 33 in the table surface image 32a on the surface 12a of the table 12, the flying state calculation unit 62 rotates. According to the output of 61, the flight state of the flight element when actually placed is calculated.

  For example, in FIG. 7A, in the state before the operation of the table 12, the fish 33b is arranged on the front side of the table surface image 32a, and only hot water 33a is arranged on the back side of the table surface image 32a. The flying state calculation unit 62 assumes that, of the surface 12a of the table 12, a fish is placed on the front side Y1 of the surface 12a of the table table 12, and only hot water is placed on the back side Y2.

Then, when only fish and hot water are actually placed on the table 12, the flight state calculation unit 62 is based on the rotation angle, rotation speed, and angular velocity of the table 12 according to the operation of the table 12 of the player P. The flight state of how only fish and hot water fly, that is, the flight distance in the virtual space, the flight mode (whether to rotate in the air), etc. are calculated according to the calculation formula.
The flying state calculation unit 62 precisely calculates the angle at which the flying element 33 moves away from the surface 12a of the table 12 and the speed at which the flying element 33 moves away from the surface. For this reason, for example, when the rotational speed of the table 12 is slow at first and gradually increases, on the contrary, the flight state required by calculation differs between when the speed is initially fast and gradually slow.

In addition, when the flight state calculation unit 62 determines that the flight element 33 has collided with the wall 31a or the like as a result of the flight, the movement state of the flight element 33 after the collision is calculated using the calculation formula of the game program and the flight element table. The calculation is performed based on the rolling coefficient 521b of 521 and the bound coefficient 522a of the object table 522.
For example, when the fish 33b falls (collises) on the tatami 31b, the flying state calculation unit 62 extracts “0.2” that is the bounce coefficient 522a of the tatami 31b from the object table 522 shown in FIG. Then, the flying state calculation unit 62 calculates the speed at which the fish 33b rebounds (bounds) from the tatami 31b by adding 0.2 to the flying speed immediately before dropping.
When the fish 33b rolls to the tatami 31b, the flying state calculation unit 62 extracts “0.1”, which is the rolling coefficient 521b of the fish 33b, from the flying element table 521 shown in FIG. The flying state calculation unit 62 adds 0.1 to the rolling speed of the fish 33b per second and calculates so as to gradually slow down.

Returning to FIG. 5, in S <b> 80, the play progress control unit 63 (plate member rotation display control unit) displays the table image 32 on the monitor 30 so as to rotate based on the rotation state determination unit 61. Based on the calculation result of the state calculation unit 62, the flying element 33 to fly is displayed on the monitor 30.
In the scene shown in FIG. 7B, the fish 33b and the plate 33c on which the fish 33b was placed are displayed so as to fly separately. As described above, the flight state calculation unit 62 precisely calculates the flight states of the fish 33b and the dish 33c that were originally combined into one according to the calculation formula. Such a precise calculation is similarly performed for liquid 33a and the liquid such as tea 33d poured into hot water 33a.

In this way, the game system 1 can produce the flying element 33 as if it is actually flying.
Further, the play progress control unit 63 calculates the movement state after the flying element 33 collides with the predetermined object according to the physical law. For example, when the flying element 33 collides with the predetermined objects 31a to 31d of the image. The subsequent movement (for example, when falling on the tatami 31b or colliding with the wall 31a) can be displayed in detail.
Thereby, the player P can experience a simulated turnover and can obtain a refreshing feeling.

The play progress control unit 63 may change the degree to which the objects 31a to 31d with which the flying element 33 collides are destroyed according to the mass of the flying element 33.
For example, since the fish 33b has a small mass and has a small momentum and a large elasticity, the television 31d cannot be destroyed even if it collides with the television 31d. On the other hand, the hot water 33a has a large mass and has a large momentum and is hard. Therefore, the television 31d may be destroyed by colliding with the television 31d. This is because each flying element 33 and the objects 31a to 31d that can be destroyed are stored in the form of a table in association with each other, and when each flying element 33 collides with the objects 31a to 31d, The play progress control unit 63 may refer to this table to confirm whether it can be destroyed.
In addition, the play progress control unit 63 changes the extent to which the objects 31a to 31d are destroyed in association with not only the mass of the flying element 33 but also the flying speed in order to reflect the momentum of the flying element 33. It may be.
