Title:
GAME INFORMATION, INFORMATION STORAGE MEDIUM, AND GAME DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3456648
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a processing load accompanying a change in a game environment such as rainy weather and to properly express the change of the game environment though reduction in the load and enhancement of expression are contradictory to each other.
SOLUTION: As shown in Figure 2 (b), a view field limit ZL is set to be closer to a view point c in comparison with setting for fine weather, and only opponent cars E1 and E2 positioned inside the view field limit ZL are drawn while opponent cars E3-E5 far beyond the view field limit ZL are not drawn. Consequently, the processing load is reduced. When the processing load is lowered, raindrops R, spray SP caused by own car P and the opponent car E, and the like specially added for rainy weather can be drawn. Therefore, difficulties in realistic expression of the rainy weather due to an overload of computing can be eliminated. Alternatively, intentional reduction in image quality for the fine weather for allowance of a processing load in preparation for additional drawing in the rainy weather is not required.
