Abstract
Movements of bowling balls, pool balls and similar objects are simulated in game or other environments by generating indications on a CRT screen in timed and spaced relation to represent the shape of an object, paths of movement of the object, rotations of the object and collisions of the object with other objects in a manner such as to provide the viewer with perceptions of such movements which are generally realistic and highly attractive.
