Video game program, video game device, and video game control method

Abstract

An object is to realize that an object is caused to move based on the acceleration data detected by an acceleration sensor when a controller is moved and the controller is caused to vibrate by a vibration mechanism when the moved object makes contact with another object. In the present game program, velocity magnitude data of a controller and velocity magnitude data of an object are calculated based on acceleration data and time interval data, both of which are recognized by a control unit. Then, it is judged by the control unit whether or not the coordinate data within the display range of a moving bat character corresponds to the coordinate data within the display range of a ball character. Next, vibration control data for controlling vibration of the controller is calculated by the control unit depending on the velocity of the bat. Accordingly, a command for outputting the vibration control data to the controller is issued by the control unit.

Technical Field[0003]The preset invention relates to a video game program, particularly to a video game program for causing a computer to realize a video game in which a plurality of objects are displayed on an image display unit, and an object is caused to move based on the acceleration data detected by an acceleration sensor when a controller in which the acceleration sensor and a vibration mechanism are embedded is moved, and the controller is caused to vibrate by the vibration mechanism when the moved object makes contact with another object. Also, the present invention relates to a video game ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008]An object of the present invention is to make it possible to cause an object to move based on the acceleration data detected by an acceleration sensor when a controller in which the acceleration sensor and a vibration mechanism are embedded moves, and to cause the controller to vibrate with the vibration mechanism when the moved object makes contact with another object.

[0032]In the game program, it is possible to cause the sword character to move in conjunction with movement of the controller in which the acceleration sensor and the vibration mechanism are embedded. Then, when the sword character is capable of strike the opponent fighter character, the vibration control data for the controller depending on the velocity of the sword character, the hardness of the sword character, and the hardness of the armor of the opponent fighter is calculated, and the vibration control data for the controller is outputted from the control unit to the vibration mechanism of the controller. Because of this, it is possible to cause the controller to vibrate. In other words, when the moving object (sword) makes contact with the another object (opponent fighter), it is possible to cause the controller to vibrate by the vibration mechanism depending on the velocity of the object (sword), the hardness of the object (sword), and the hardness of the another object (opponent fighter).

Problems solved by technology

However, the conventional baseball game could not appropriately evaluate the moving velocity of a bat, that is, the swing velocity of a batter.

Therefore, it has been difficult to cause a controller to vibrate depending on the swing velocity of a batter when a ball is hit with a bat.
