摘要： A video game apparatus increasing simulation realism of a jump action by using an operation stick (16p) bendable from its upright position is disclosed, wherein controller-operation detection means (61) detects values of the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate which correspond to a bend direction and a bend angle of stick (16p); jump control means (62) starts a run-up action when A-button (16b) is turned on, in which if operation stick (16p) is not bent to the back end, processing immediately shifts to a jump action process; and jump conditions are determined on the basis of changed information regarding the values of the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate at the time when the stick (16p) is bent from the back end to the upright position and the position of a ski-jumping competitor corresponding to a takeoff of a ski-jumping hill (32) at the time of the operation of operation stick (16p).
Also disclosed are a character-behavior-instructing method and a machine-readable-recording medium (5) containing therein a character-behavior-instructing program which are used for the video game apparatus.

摘要： In a video game machine, a character's action is scored according to whether or not a game player operates an operation unit at a suitable timing. An action selecting control function 62 urges the game player to select an action. A command specifying control function 63 specifies a command representing a combination of operations to be performed by the game player when a competitor reaches a predetermined distance from a course lip of a half-pipe course and causes a display unit to display the specified combination of operations corresponding to the selected action. A command input determining function 64 determines whether the specified command has been input before the competitor reaches the course lip. An action conducting control function 65 causes the competitor to conduct the selected action when the specified command is input. A scoring control function 66 scores the competitor's action in view of five performance elements.

摘要： A control system of a game apparatus such as a racing game apparatus has a CPU for controlling a signal processor based on a program stored in a computer-readable recording medium to process three-dimensional image data for perspective projection and horizontal image distortion correction for images to be projected onto a curved projection screen. The CPU also controls an image display processor to write the processed image data into a RAM, from which the image data is supplied to an image projector to project the images onto the curved projection screen. The curved projection screen gives a game player, e.g., a racing car driver, a horizontally long panoramic view in front of the game player, so that the images displayed on the curved projection screen look wide and realistic.

摘要： Enabling an animation character object, which is pictorially deformed by computer graphics techniques to visually represent human body or animal or the like in the form of a caricature or model, to offer precise and more natural motions at its selected constituent portions that have inherently no joints and no bones by giving thereto joints and skeletons. To this end, apparatus and method for generating skeleton-based animation images in accordance with the principles of the invention include solving means as follows. A face section of a cubic character object is provided with auxiliary skeletons as vertically coupled together. Skeletons are provided which extend from respective endpoints of such auxiliary skeletons and are coupled defining an umbrella shape as a whole. These skeletons are associated with models each consisting of an ensemble of polygons for rendering the character deformable by changing rotation amount of each skeleton.

摘要： A video game is played on a video game system by moving objects successively introduced into a game field in one direction on a display screen, determining whether a leading object or a leading cluster of objects introduced into the game field reach a predetermined position in the display screen or a memory, and ending the video game if the leading object or the leading cluster of objects introduced into the game field reaches the predetermined position. It is determined whether objects of one type are successively connected in the game field or not. The objects of one type are removed from the game field if they are successively connected in the game field. An object present ahead of the removed objects in the direction is moved in a direction opposite to the direction. An object indicated by a cursor is exchanged for an object present in the game field.
