However, this switch position is not limited to the example shown in FIG. 2, but may be any position, and the number of switches may be four or more, or one or one.

The game control procedure of the present embodiment having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a game progress control procedure of the present embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a detailed control procedure of the game play control of FIG.

First, the game progress control according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

In the game device according to the present embodiment, when the power is inserted into the device, the game program stored in the game program storage section 4 is started, and the control shifts to the control shown in FIG. The game program storage unit 4 may be a ROM for storing a game program or a CD.
-A ROM drive and a CD-ROM in which game programs, game data, graphics, and the like mounted on the CD-ROM drive are stored may be set.

First, in step S1, according to the program stored in the game program storage section 4, data and graphics required for the game are read out and stored in the RAM 3 as necessary, and the opening display data is displayed in the display control section. In addition to writing into the display buffer 8 for display, an opening sound is output to the sound control unit 8. Then, it waits for the billing control unit 40 to detect billing.

When the player operating the game device inserts a coin to start the game during the opening display (title display), the process proceeds from step S1 to step S2, where a song name selection process for selecting a song to be played is performed. Move to In the song name selection process, a song name to be played is selected from the song names stored in the music information storage unit 5 in advance, and an instruction is input. This is specified by inputting a number corresponding to the title of the music.

Subsequently, in step S3, the title of the song selected in step S2 is displayed on the display screen of the monitor 9 to confirm that the game is to be played on this curved surface. This is to prevent a transition to the game as it is when there is an input error in the number, for example, when the song name is specified by a number assigned in advance. If the confirmation is made here, the process proceeds to step S4, where the game play processing is performed, and the game is performed. In the present embodiment, a sign indicating the lyrics of the selected song and the pitch to be uttered is displayed on the monitor 9,
The selected song is sung according to the instruction sign indicating the utterance timing, and the accuracy of the pitch and the quality of the rhythm are competed. This may be played by one person or by two people. Details regarding this game play will be described later.

When the game of the selected music is finished, step S4
The process further proceeds to step S5 to check whether or not the remaining score of the tension meter indicating the evaluation of the game is “0”. If the remaining point of the tension meter is “0”, it is determined that the game could not be cleared and “STAGE FAIL
"ED" is displayed and the process proceeds to step S8. On the other hand, step S
If the remaining points of the tension meter are not "0" at 5, the stage is cleared, "STAGE CLEARED" is displayed, and the routine proceeds to step S8.

In step S8, a play result is made, and in step S9, the result of the game play of step S4 is displayed in detail. FIG. 5 shows an example of the result display. In the example shown in FIG. 5, a "pitch" display indicating the accuracy of the pitch in game play, a "rhythm" display indicating a good rhythm feeling, a case where an optional foot switch is used, and a good ride in the ad-lib operation are shown. A "performance" display, a "combo" display indicating good combo capability, and the like are performed.

Then, the "total singing ability" corresponding to the above-mentioned overall ability is displayed as a specific score, and the result of comparison (ranking) with other game participants up to the present after reset is displayed. Note that the example of FIG. 5 described above is merely an example, and other arbitrary result summation and effect effects can be performed.

Then, the process proceeds from step S9 to step S10, and it is checked whether or not the previously determined game has been cleared. If the game is cleared, the process returns to step S2 and the game for the next song can be played. If the game has not been cleared, the game returns and ends the game.

Next, the details of the game play processing in step S4 in FIG. 3 will be described with reference to FIG.

In the game play processing, first, in step S4
In step 1, the entire music data stored in the music information storage unit 5 is read in accordance with the music title selected in step S2. Then, the current song data is extracted from the entire song data. Then, in step S42, a sound, a screen effect, an illumination, and the like are produced in accordance with the current music data.

In step S43, a guide vocal in a unique format is set from the current music data. Then, in step S44, the musical score is output according to the music data.

FIG. 6 shows an example of the effect on the display screen of the monitor 9 of the result of the above processing. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a game screen according to the present embodiment. The tune progresses by sequentially updating guide vocals on the game screen shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 6, a display example of the game screen in the present embodiment will be described. The display example of the game screen is not limited to the following example, and various modifications are possible as long as the display of the game evaluation result in real time and the game progress instruction can be appropriately performed.

In this embodiment, an effect image for game play is displayed as a background image of the entire display screen.
For example, the game character indicated by 160 changes according to the game result of the player. For example, when the pitch rhythm is good, an effect display of “Yea!” Shown in FIG. 6 is performed. In addition, the player character is neutral, male, female, and? ? It is controlled so as to change to other or the like and to react according to the evaluation result of the game. Further, as the value of the tension meter 120 described below decreases, the display position gradually shifts toward the edge of the screen (to the left or right), and falls off the screen when the tension meter becomes “0”. When the value of the tension meter 120 increases, the player character moves to the center of the screen and is displayed. Therefore, the one displayed at the center is better.

At the top of the display screen shown at 150, a game score display area is provided to display a game score (total score) of the player's previous game, a game score that has obtained the highest score, and the like.

On both lower sides, the setting state of the microphone volume as the sound input means is represented by the size of the speaker indicated by 140. In the example shown in the figure, the right speaker is displayed larger, which indicates that the microphone volume of the right player is larger.

A voice guide display area for recognizing the pitch and input timing of the music is displayed in an upper part of a substantially lower half of the screen, and lyrics corresponding to notes in the voice guide display area are displayed in an area below the voice guide display area. A lyrics display area is provided.

A note figure is displayed in the voice guide display area. The display position of the note in the vertical direction indicates the pitch, and the display position in the horizontal direction indicates the utterance timing. In the example of FIG. 6, a pitch difference of approximately two octaves is expressed between the upper horizontal bar display and the lower horizontal bar display, and the height of the position where the note is displayed is higher than the lower horizontal bar display position. Saga corresponds to the pitch. In addition to the above display positions, for example, changing the brightness, saturation, display color, etc. of the note portion,
It is also possible to change the expression of the note, such as an expression when the pitch is corresponding to the display position, an expression when the semitone is high, or an expression when the semitone is low, to express a finer pitch. Note that the display in a form different from the other notes shown in 103 indicates transposed notes, and the example of FIG. 6 shows an example in which high transposition is performed.

As for the utterance timing, in the example of FIG. 6, the voice guide display area is divided by three vertical bars, and two rectangular areas are created. And this one
One rectangular area corresponds to one bar. The utterance duration of the utterance timing note is expressed by the note display interval. Note that the present embodiment is not limited to the above example. For example, the display interval of musical notes may be fixed, and another display indicating the interval may be added to notify the utterance length and the pronunciation interval by this display. .

The utterance timing display and utterance pitch display corresponding to such music information are performed, and the progress status of the music at the present time is expressed by a timing bar shown by 110. For example, when the note display and the later-described visible display in the voice guide display area are fixed display, the timing bar 110 is moved and displayed, for example, from the left side of the screen to the right side as the music progresses.

When the timing bar comes to the note display position, a high score can be expected by uttering at a corresponding pitch and inputting it as an acoustic signal from the microphone. At this time, not only can the timing bar be moved, but also the display characters of the lyrics at this time are displayed in a large size, for example, so as to be distinguishable from the others, so that the progress of the current song can be known only from the lyrics. It is configured to be able to.

In the above example, the timing bar is moved. However, the timing bar is fixedly displayed, for example, at the end of the screen at the center of the screen, and the display of notes or lyrics in the voice guide display area is performed by the timing bar. The display may be moved from the end opposite to the end in the direction of the timing bar display position.

When a certain amount of music has progressed and the processing for one bar is completed, the display of the processed bar that has progressed in the next step is replaced with the above data of the next bar and the display is updated. I do.

At the lower part of the lyrics display area portion 130, a tension meter 120 for displaying an integrated result of the evaluation result of the game in real time is displayed. The tension meter 120 is displayed with, for example, red when the monitor 9 is a color monitor when 15 bars extending from the left and right ends to a tension “0” and 15 bars extending from the left and right to the center. Follow 7
The two central ends are safety areas, which are displayed, for example, in white. However, the four central areas are, for example, margin areas displayed in green, and are initially displayed, for example, starting from the center position of the safety area, and are displayed if the pitch is shifted or the timing is out of order and the game score decreases. The number of bars is reduced, and only the danger area is displayed. If the intervals match or the utterance timings match, the game score increases, and the number of display bars of the tension meter increases.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the number of lit display bars of the tension meter is updated in real time in accordance with the game score, so that the score status of the game can be recognized each time a voice is input.

It should be noted that a credit notation is provided below the tension meter 120.

When the display screen shown in FIG. 6 is displayed,
The process of the CPU 1 shifts to the process of step S45. At the input timing, the process of acquiring the acoustic signal from the microphone 18 during the time from when the timing bar reaches within a predetermined range from the note (lyric) display position to when the timing bar passes. That is, microphone input data is not validated except for this timing.

In the following step S46, harmony board 1
In step 2, the input voice is converted into a unique format, for example, MIDI format data and sent to the CPU 1. CPU1
Then, it is checked whether or not the input voice data exceeds a certain level. If the voice data is equal to or lower than a certain level, it is determined that there is no voice input, and the process proceeds to step S48, where a soundless performance is performed, and the process proceeds to step S50. For example, processing such as closing the mouth of the player character is performed. Then, the process proceeds to step S50.

On the other hand, if there is a voice input of a certain level or more in step S47, the flow advances to step S49 to perform a sound production process, and to output a lyrics corresponding to the input voice. Then, the process proceeds to step S50.

In step S50, it is determined whether or not this timing is a voice input at a timing when singing is allowed, or whether the timing is not generated at a timing when singing is not allowed. For example, in a two-player setting, where each bar sings alternately, or when a male singing part and a female singing part are separated, one microphone may sing at the right time and the other microphone sing. This is because there may be cases where timing should not be performed.

If the response is correct, step S5
Proceed to Step 2 to perform a sounding (or silence) effect. For example, if the pronunciation is correct, the game score is increased, the detailed game score is updated, the score such as the pitch, the rhythm, etc. is increased, and effects such as the increase in the number of display bars of the tension meter are performed. Then, the process proceeds to step S53.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S50 that the response is not correct, the process proceeds to step S51, in which an effect that is erroneously pronounced (silence) is performed. .

In step S53, it is checked whether or not music data still remains. If music data remains, the flow returns to step S41 to extract the next music data. on the other hand,
If no music data remains, the game returns for one music.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide a game device having a very high taste. Also in this case, unlike karaoke, evaluation for each sound is performed in real time, and the next utterance can be performed while recognizing the result, whereby a game device having a sense of urgency can be provided.

In the above description, when a foot switch is provided, a slight step in a part without a song and a movement of a foot in a rust part change the singing posture (one step backward). Playing or holding it diagonally) can change the performance. In this case, for example, the arrangement of the foot switch element is displayed below the speaker display of FIG. 6, and the switch element portion to be operated is displayed in a blinking display or in a color different from the others, so that the foot switch operation is performed. You just need to give it. When a step that exactly matches the instruction is performed, a high score is given to performance evaluation and the like.

[Second Embodiment] In the game evaluation in the above-described game processing, two-player play is assumed, but if only one player is played, step S is executed.
The processes from 50 to S52 become unnecessary. The evaluation method (details of the determination processing) of the second embodiment according to the present invention on the premise of the single player will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

When a voice is input from the microphone shown in step S71 corresponding to the process in step S45 in FIG. 4, the determination process is started, and in step S72, a process for determining whether there is no sound corresponding to step S47 in FIG. Is performed. If there is no sound, a silent effect is performed in step S73, and processing such as stopping the output of the song corresponding to the corresponding lyrics is performed. Then, the evaluation processing at this evaluation timing ends.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S72 that there is no sound input but a voice input from the microphone, the flow advances to step S74 to extract a pitch reference from the music data stored in the music information storage unit 5. This is the reference pitch of the song that is scheduled in advance.

Subsequently, in step S75, the input voice information is decomposed into intervals. For example, if the input sound data from the microphone is converted to MIDI format data,
This division into pitches can be easily performed. Then, in the next step S76, it is determined whether or not the reference pitch matches the pitch of the microphone input voice. If the reference pitch matches the pitch of the microphone input voice, the process proceeds to step S77, where an effect that matches the reference is performed, the game score is updated, and the determination process ends.

For example, various effects such as outputting "GOOD" in front of the player character to make a note a smiley mark, outputting a sound of a predetermined musical instrument, or outputting an input sound from a player, etc., can be used in this effect. You can take action. In updating the game score, processing such as adding a pitch score or a rhythm score is performed.

If the reference and the voice do not match in step S76, the flow advances to step S78 to check whether or not the input voice is higher than the reference value. If it is above the reference value, step S79
Proceed to and perform the effect in the case of above the standard. More specifically, if the pitch is higher by one octave than the reference value, it means that the utterance range is different and the utterance is the reference pitch for the player, so that the same effect as in step S77 is performed.

When the difference is not a difference of one octave, it is checked how much the pitch is higher than the reference pitch, and the added score of the pitch score result decreases depending on the shift. The pitch score is subtracted according to the degree of. Note that the rhythm score is also added in this case. Then, the upper region of the timing bar 110 indicating the utterance timing is displayed in a specific color or black, and the player is notified that the scale input is higher.

On the other hand, if the input voice is not higher than the reference value in step S78, the process proceeds to step S80, and an effect is produced when the input voice is lower than the reference value. Specifically, if the pitch is lower by one octave than the reference value, it means that the utterance range is different and the utterance is the reference pitch for the player, so that the same effect as in step S77 is performed.

If the difference is not a difference of one octave, it is checked how much lower than the reference pitch, and the added score of the pitch score result decreases depending on the shift. If the shift is more than a certain scale, the shift is determined. The pitch score is subtracted according to the degree of. Note that the rhythm score is also added in this case. Then, the lower area of the timing bar 110 indicating the utterance timing is displayed in a specific color or black, thereby notifying that the scale input to the player is low.

In the above description, an example has been described in which a game can be played for one tune without fail. However, the present invention is not limited to the above example. Change the display of the tension meter,

Is performed but no lyrics are displayed, (4) a mode without accompaniment from the beginning, (5) a mode in which the accompaniment scale is controlled to deviate from the regular scale at a predetermined timing,
(6) First, the teacher's model song is performed, and then the player's voice is evaluated. One of the five operation modes or a desired operation mode can be selected.

In the accompaniment performance mode in the normal scale of (1), a normal accompaniment performance is performed, and the same control as in the above embodiment is performed.

In the mode (2), it is possible to appeal that the user can sing at the correct pitch in a situation where only the lyrics are displayed, and to enjoy a game effect in which the degree of attention of the surroundings is increased.

In the mode (3), it is necessary to memorize the pitch of the song, and it is possible to enjoy a game effect in which the degree of attention of the surroundings also increases. In addition, it is possible to output the accompaniment only in the intro part and compete for singing.

In the mode (4) without accompaniment, a higher level of sound is required as compared with the mode (2).

The operation mode (5) is a game content that requires the highest absolute pitch, and is considered particularly interesting when a game is played by a large number of people. Everyone can enjoy it.
Here, if the song can be sung without being dragged by the change of the accompaniment, everyone's attention is the highest.

In this case, normal accompaniment information is stored in the music information storage unit 5, and accompaniment information in which the pitch of the accompaniment is partially changed is stored in the music information storage unit 5, and the accompaniment information to be read is changed. This allows the game to proceed without making any changes to the game control. However, in the evaluation determination processing, it is needless to say that the normal reference interval information is read.

The mode (6) is a mode in which even a beginner can participate in the game. For example, a musical note is displayed twice for each bar, the model song of the teacher is sung in the first display, and the second display is performed. This is a mode in which the player sings in a part. Only the second time is evaluated.
