In this embodiment, two or more conditions or conditions may be applied to each field element. corresponds to a storage element in the control device suitable for storing the state. Furthermore, In a hardware configuration, the central controller provides n-bit data for each field element. It has another storage device for the kit. However, n is the total number of field elements. Ru. This n-bit storage means stores which field for each field element. Stores information that determines whether the element should change its state after being specified. do. However, with software configuration, all controls and Delivery issues can be resolved with properly programmed memory. This memory is mentioned above Configure two memories.

Possible states of the field elements are now indicated by numbers 0°1, . . . 2m. centre After specifying a field element, other field elements that change state are: (7) A new state is established according to the rules. The old state of the field element is different from m For numbers, the new state is 1. This situation corresponds to the old number, which has been increased by . The old state If it corresponds to number m, the new state of the field element is the state corresponding to number O. It is. If only two states are considered, the exc The rule can be executed by a lusive OR operation.

Figure 3 shows the circuit of a logic toy completely constructed by hardware according to the present invention. The road configuration is shown.

Such a hardware configuration is suitable for two-state field elements. this In the example, a rectangular playfield 10 with a 5×5 distribution is shown. In this configuration The same number of display means 12 (e.g. LED) and the same number of detection means II (e.g. press/detach key) belongs to 25 field elements. All of the above display means are D type flip It is connected to the output of the air filter 13. In this circuit configuration, the latch circuit I3 is It plays the role of a two-state storage element.

At the same time, the memory 21 (e.g. RAM ) is connected to the row selection manual 17. For ease of viewing, each component Two of the elements whose to group consists of 25 fragments are shown completely, and the other elements Components are simply shown symbolically.

The functions of the circuit configuration will be explained below with reference to FIG. the currently specified field The detecting means 11 of the de-element are connected via the designated line I5 and the f-) system 14. When a logic level “1” signal is sent to the appropriate row selection manual 17 of the memory 21, , consists of a 25-bit configuration, and via the data input 22 and address input 23, field previously written and specified by the circuit means 25 for selecting the r-me function. A word representing the relationship applied to the element is output on lead line 18.

As a result, the flip-flop 13 outputs the f-) system 14 and the state change output signal 16 to change the state of the display means 12 (LED).

The time to select the rm function is determined by the command input using the pushbutton 26. The channel 25 is suitable for defining different game conditions and is therefore suitable for defining different game conditions, such as for example a pushbutton 26. Two types of relationships can be selected depending on one of the following. According to the first relation, fi The field element touches the specified element along a common boundary and The elements themselves are affected. This makes this relationship completely black-and-white. When applied to the i-field, configurations with the shape of a cross are eliminated. in other cases , by moving the specified field element itself and the chess knight. These field elements are affected.

By means of two other pushbuttons 26 or other control means, the This results in two starting configurations. Please press one of the pushbuttons, all Since the flip-flop is cleared via the reset line 24, the black square flip Only field elements appear. Press any other key to start random generation. Is the filter 19j the filter 20? and f-) the results of special configurations via system 14; to toggle some of the flip-flops 13. The filter 19 is determined In a configuration in which a targeted attack target is generated by means of a random generator, makes only such starting configurations realizable.

Figure 4 shows a simplified diagram of a toy according to the invention designed by software. This is a diagram. In this configuration, the central controller has line output signals 31 and column output signals. No. 32 detects the detection and display means on the Sibley field, and the sensor input 3 3 is replaced by the microcomputer 34 which reads the specified information.

All control functions (change of state, application of relations, generation of starting configurations, etc.) This is done by a program stored in the data's internal memory. However, the game function A circuit 37Fi for selecting is also used in this case, and the microcomputer 34 and Control of interfacing, which in some cases can be achieved by microcombinators It performs the task of interfacing with means (keys) 38. Therefore, key 38 When one is applied, an impulse is sent to the data line 35 or address line 36f. It is sent to the microcomputer via t.

The configuration obtained by using the logic toy according to this invention in several steps is as follows: The following describes the provision of K, that is, the specification of field elements. Now the first In the play field shown in FIG. 3, the starting configuration according to FIG. 5 is generated, It is assumed that the field element has two states. Now the 3rd element of line 2 If the client is specified as the first step, the configuration shown in Figure 6 is obtained, and the client If the second element of step 3 is specified as the next step, the configuration shown in Figure 7 becomes.

Logic toys according to the invention can also be realized in three-dimensional designs, for example, The elements of the field may be arranged on the surface of the space-forming or within the internal volume of the space-forming. Ru.

According to a further developed embodiment, the r-me function is completed as a score indicator. be done. This feature allows you to use the playfield as a dot matrix display. This can be achieved most effectively. Therefore, for example, in the embodiment shown in FIG. data representing the final score, such as a specified number, elapsed time, or Both can be displayed using alphanumeric characters or graphical symbols or moving symbols. is sufficient to properly complete the working program.
