Abstract
A method and a computer for executing a shooting game which is played by a user using a controller to enhance the nature of the game without eliminating its rapid-fire function. The computer that executes a shooting game includes a controller having a pressure sensing unit that detects an operation pressure by a player during a shooting operation, a unit that determines the number of projectiles to be shot according to the pressure in the shooting operation detected by said pressure sensing unit, a unit that shoots the determined number of projectiles to be shot by a player character on the monitor, and a unit that decides whether the enemy character has been shot.
Claims11
A recording medium on which are recorded shooting game software programs, including programs that process as commands an output from a controller that has a pressure sensing means, that can be read and executed by a computer, to which the controller is connectable, wherein
- said software programs include processing programs that shoot projectiles in a screen of the computer in a number that corresponds to said output of said controller.
A method for executing shooting games on a computer by using a pressure-sensitive controller, comprising the steps of:
- detecting a pressure by a user in a shooting operation, by a pressure sensing means provided on the controller,
- determining a number of projectiles to be shot in accordance with said pressure in the shooting operation, detected by said pressure sensing means;
- shooting a determined number of projectiles to be shot by a user character on a monitor at the computer;
- and
- deciding whether an enemy character has been hit.
A computer that executes a shooting game in an entertainment system comprising:
- a controller having a pressure sensing means that detects an operation pressure in a shooting operation by a player playing the shooting game
- a means that determines a number of projectiles to be shot in accordance with the operation pressure in the shooting operation, detected by said pressure sensing means;
- a means that shoots the determined number of projectiles to be shot by the player character on a monitor of the computer;
- and
- a means that decides whether an enemy character has been shot.
