The self-propelled body it traces run the induction lane of the game advance control

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To devise the proceedings of a race so that the race can be finished while keeping up appearances of the race even if there is a self-advancing body which is delayed than expected, in a competition game device wherein self-advancing bodies, while tracking guide lanes, pull model bodies via a magnetic force. ;SOLUTION: Individual self-advancing bodies are monitored for a delay in achieving a target progress by a race progress management section of a central controller. If there is such a self-advancing body whose delay in achieving a target progress is larger than a predetermined value, a counting speed of a race progress timer of the central controller is delayed by a specified ratio with respect to the delay, to delay the entire race progress speed. When the self-advancing body which was delayed in achieving the target progress by a specified time or longer recovers from the delay, the counting speed of the race progress timer of the central controller is increased by a specified ratio with respect to the recovery from the delay, to increase the entire race progress speed. When a delay of the counting speed of the race progress timer of the central controller becomes a predetermined level or above, the race is suspended.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
