Driving game machine
First Claim
1. A driving game machine comprising:
- three-dimensional data memory means for storing coordinate data of a three-dimensional road established in a game space in a three-dimensional coordinate system;
two-dimensional data memory means for storing coordinate data of a straight road established in a two-dimensional coordinate system in association with said three-dimensional road;
player'"'"'s automobile control means for controlling a player'"'"'s automobile on said three-dimensional road as instructed by a player;
general automobile control means for controlling general automobiles on said straight road;
two-dimensional coordinate transforming means for transforming coordinate data of said player'"'"'s automobile on said three-dimensional road into coordinate data on said straight road in said two-dimensional coordinate system; and
position deciding means for determining the positional relation between said player'"'"'s automobile and said general automobiles based on the coordinate data on said straight road in said two-dimensional coordinate system.

Abstract
A course coordinate system processor has a general automobile control unit, a movement decision unit, and a position decision unit. The general automobile control unit controls the running of a plurality of general automobiles on a straight road in a course coordinate system. The movement decision unit determines whether or not another automobile exists in front of an automobile which is under consideration for a movement decision. The position decision unit determines the positional relation between a player'"'"'s automobile and general automobiles in the course coordinate system, and also determines general automobiles that are positioned in a predetermined visible range of the player'"'"'s automobile. Positional coordinate data of the player'"'"'s automobile have been transformed from a world coordinate system into the course coordinate system by a course coordinate system transformation unit.
