<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method for recording and displaying graphic routes in a video game. <P>SOLUTION: At the beginning of a time trial, the player observes the route of the preceding game, which route dynamically changes in color according to the currently elapsed time related to the time trial, the elapsed times related to the route of the preceding game, and the state of a character related to the route of the preceding game, and is color-coded. The route of the preceding game may be that of the "best time", that of the "worst time" or that of "an average time", but is not limited to them. The player may evaluate the progress of the game compared with the route of the "best time" indicated by a series of route marks, and thereafter the input control of the player's character is changed to optimize its performance related to the route of the "best time". <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
