NETWORK COMPUTER GAME METHOD AND OPTICOMECHANICAL RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR UNIT PRODUCING TWO RANDOM NUMBERS USABLE FOR IMPLEMENTING THE METHOD

摘要

FIELD: computer games. SUBSTANCE: device has means for a user to influence moving object image movement speed. The means supports two states of control signals for controlling movement speed and moving object image position change. Each of these two states is tuned in advance on one of two random numbers produced by the random number generator unit. The unit has transparent and rotating drum, light-absorbing balls and light-reflecting balls located inside of the drum, light source which beam is directed towards the ball location area and photodetector receiving light beam reflected by balls. EFFECT: reduced network traffic loading in process of game; increased number of computers participating in the game. 17 cl, 5 dwg, 1 tbl
