Problems solved by technology

When using a two-dimensional game program, the prior art controller can operate, but cannot operate a three-dimensional game program
[0026] (2) The structure of key components is not suitable for 3D programming games
[0027] (3) When the game software becomes more complex, it is necessary to increase the number of key elements of the controller (microcomputer or the like)
Moreover, in order to control the movement in a complex and advanced manner, the structure of the key elements had to be changed
