[0050]

[Table 1] (3) Part Select Means 143 The part select means 143 is for selecting one piece of part data from the plurality of part data of the performance data stored in the data storage means 141 based on the operation of the operation switch 50. Things.

More specifically, the character is selected on the character selection screen shown in FIG. That is, the part data is
Classified by each part of musical instrument, as shown in FIG.
For example, it is divided into four types: piano, guitar, brass, and drums. Then, each part of the musical instrument is selected by selecting characters 90 to 93 as shown in FIG.

The types or numbers of the characters 90 to 93 and the musical instruments are not limited to the above four types. Difficulty levels are set for the four types of characters 90 to 93, respectively. The difficulty levels are classified into three types: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Note that the difficulty level is not limited to the above three types.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, a piano (PIANO) has an elementary level (EASY) and a guitar (GUIT).
AR) is advanced (HARD), brass (BRASS) is intermediate (NORMAL), and drum (DRUM) is advanced (HA)
RD). Note that the type of musical instrument and the degree of difficulty vary depending on the type of music. (4) Performance means 144 The performance means 144 is for reproducing the performance data stored in the data storage means 141 through the speaker 30, except for one part data selected by the part selection means 143.

For example, when the player selects a piano part, the piano part is excluded. In this case, the opponent's part is also excluded. In the single player mode, the opponent is the game machine 10 and the part select means
The part 143 is selected at random, for example, a brass part. As a result, the remaining guitar and drum parts are played. On the other hand, in the two-player mode, the part selected by the opponent using the operation switch 50 is excluded.

(5) Tower Display Means 145 The tower display means 145 divides one bar of the music played by the performance means 144 into equal lengths with a predetermined pitch, and stacks the chips 110 corresponding to the respective divided elements. This is for displaying the formed tower 100 on the display 20. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, one bar is divided into 16 equal parts. Thus, one chip 110 corresponds to a sixteenth note.

(6) Light-Emitting Display Means 146 The light-emitting display means 146 divides each chip 110 displayed by the tower display means 145 from above to below in accordance with the tempo of the music played by the playing means 144. This is for emitting light in order. Then, when the lowermost chip 110 of the tower 100 shines, the next two measures are the tower 100
, The light returns to the uppermost position, and the light is emitted one by one from top to bottom again, and this is repeated until the end of the song.

(7) Color chip display means 147 The color chip display means 147 is used when the sound data of the part data selected by the part selection means 143 exists in the tower 110 displayed by the tower display means 145. The color of the chip 110 at the position corresponding to the sound data is changed based on the color of the color switch 70 assigned according to the scale of the sound data, and the color chip
It is for displaying 112.

Specifically, as described above, each switch
As shown in FIG. 10, for example, 71 to 74 are assigned so that the tone becomes higher from the red switch 72 on the left side to the green switch 74 on the right side, as shown in FIG. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the sound of "do" is transmitted to a yellow switch 71, the sound of "re" is transmitted to a red switch 72, the sound of "mi" is transmitted to a blue switch 73, and the sound of "fa" is transmitted to a green switch 74. Assigned. Similarly, the remaining sound is assigned such that the left red switch 72 side is low and the sound gradually increases toward the right green switch 74.

When the sound of "do" is a quarter note,
For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the color of the first chip 110 in the upper stage 101 is changed to yellow. If the next sound of “レ” is a quarter note, the color of the fifth chip 110 in the upper row 101 is changed to red. If the last “mi” sound is a half note, the color of the ninth chip 110 in the upper row 101 is changed to green.

(8) Timing Evaluation Means 148 The timing evaluation means 148 determines the light emission timing at which the color chip 112 displayed by the color chip display means 147 emits light by the light emission display means 146, and the color chip 112
This is for evaluating the degree of coincidence with the operation timing of the color switch 70 corresponding to.

More specifically, as described above, the evaluation is performed on four levels of Perfect, Good, Nice and Miss. The evaluation conditions are as shown in Table 2 below.

[0062]

[Table 2] (9) Game Result Determination Means 149 The game result determination means 149 is for determining a game result based on the evaluation result of the timing evaluation means 148.

More specifically, the total score is calculated by adding the unit scores shown in Table 2 above. The total score is numerically displayed as SCORE above each of the left and right towers 100, as shown in FIGS. Then, at the end of the performance of the song, the total score is compared to determine the winning or losing. Specifically, the one with the larger total score is the winner. When the total points are equal, in the single player mode, the opponent's game machine 10 side is the winner. In the two-person mode, the game is a draw.

(10) Part Reproduction Means 150 The part reproduction means 150 reproduces sound data corresponding to the color chip 112 through the speaker 30 based on the evaluation result of the timing evaluation means 148. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, when the red color chip 112 emits light, when the red switch 72 is pressed at the perfect timing, a sound of “レ” sounds and the length of the sound is a quarter. Equal to a note.

On the other hand, if the red switch 72 is pressed at a good timing, the sound "RE" sounds, but the sound is delayed. Also, when the red switch 72 is pressed at the timing of a nice or miss, the sound of “do” before the sound of “re” is lost, or the sound of “fa” sounds after the sound of “re”. On the other hand, even if the timing is perfect, if you accidentally press the yellow switch 71, blue switch 73, green switch 74,
A sound other than the sound of "Le", for example, a sound of "Do" or "Fa" sounds.

Therefore, if the correct color switch 70 is pressed at the perfect timing, it is possible to enjoy an atmosphere as if the user were playing the part selected by himself. (11) Character display means 151 The character display means 151 is provided on the display 20 as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 8, characters 90 to 93 are displayed, and based on the evaluation result of the timing evaluation means 148, the characters 9 to 93 are displayed.
It is for changing the dancing speed from 0 to 93.

More specifically, the evaluation of dance is different from that of Table 2 described above. The evaluation of the dance is as shown in Table 3 below.

[0068]

[Table 3] The unit scores shown in Table 3 are totaled in real time, and according to the total scores, the dance levels are changed to four levels, Level 1 to Level 4, as shown in Table 4 below.

[0069]

[Table 4] In Table 4, the higher the total score, the higher the level of the dance, and the speed and the swing of the dance are changed so as to match the image of the song.

(12) Chip moving means 152 The chip moving means 152 is for stacking the color chips 112 in the area of the opponent based on the evaluation result of the timing evaluating means 148 to attack. Specifically, the battle is advanced based on the evaluation result of the timing evaluation means 148.

As the attack pattern, when a perfect is issued, the color chip 112 moves and stacks on the stage 160 on which the opponent characters 90 to 93 are placed as shown in FIGS. As a result, as the number of stacked color chips 112 increases, the
The position of ~ 93 gradually rises. Further, although not a direct attack, if a mistake is made, as a penalty, one chip 112 is moved to and stacked on the stage 160 on which the characters 90 to 93 are mounted.

As a defense pattern, one's own stage 160
When the perfect chip is put out with the chips 112 and color chips 112 stacked on the stage, your stage
The chip 112 and the color chip 112 on the 160 can be moved to the stage 160 on the opponent side. Color chip 112
When the number of stacked layers reaches a preset border line, for example, 31 sheets, a countdown is started.

The countdown starts from "3". The countdown is set to one for two bars of the song. As a result, when the count becomes “0”, the game is over even during the performance of the music, and the player or the game machine 10 side loses. The movement of the chip 112 and the color chip 112 may be performed in real time, but the game machine 10 calculates the delivery of the chip 112 and the color chip 112 to and from the opponent every two bars of the music. I have.

The method of calculating the delivery is as follows. 1. Calculation of the basic score Basic score = 1000 points 2 Calculation of the unit score per one chip corresponding to the button Unit score = basic score / number of color chips per two bars 3 Point addition for performance evaluation for each tower (two bars) Case classification 3-1 Perfect: Add 100% of the unit score 3-2 Good: Add 70% of the unit score 3-3 Nice :: The chip under your feet is 3-3-1 00-09 → unit score 3-3-2 10-19 cards → Add 30% of unit score 3-3-3 20-29 cards → Add 40% of unit score 3-3-4 30 or more → Unit score 3. Add 50% 3-4 Press and miss, mistake: subtract 5% of unit score Determination of the number of chips to be sent to the stand of the other party Number of chips to be sent = total points / 160 * The minimum value of the total points is 0. There is no minus.

5. When erasing the chips piled on the stand of your character, the number disappears according to the amount of chips piled up. Number of stacked chips (1) 00 to 09: Number to be sent to the other party / 3 (2) 10 to 19: Number to be sent to the other party / 2 (3) 20 to 29: Number to be sent to the other party / 1 (4) 30 or more: the number to be sent to the opponent x 1.5 The larger the number of stacked sheets, the more the number of disappearances is increased, in order to prevent a beginner from easily getting over the game.

(13) Perfect privilege means 153 The perfect privilege means 153 is for granting a privilege when the evaluation result of the timing evaluation means 148 is perfect.
