Abstract
An electronic simulated tennis game is played on a gameboard which includes a matrix of multicolored light-emitting diodes scaled to resemble a tennis court. Each diode is positioned at a grid area and is illuminated to indicate ball and player positions. A keyboard is provided and competing players electronically enter their selected palying positions and the target positions for the ball. There is also provided a scoring display, switches to initiate play and light means which instructs the players as to points and movement results. This tennis game is played on a gameboard which is under the control of a programmed microcomputer which processes each player's inputs according to a simulated tennis game program and displays and computes the results of each player's selections on this gameboard and displays the results as to an error or a successful volley.
