In S <b> 10, the CPU 51 determines whether an IC card is inserted in the card insertion slot 10 based on a detection signal from the card sensor 64. If it is determined that an IC card is inserted (S10: YES), the points acquired in the current typing game stored in the RAM 54 in S11 and the acquired scores (scores) are respectively determined by the card reader The data is written on the IC tag built in the IC card by the writer 65. The data written here can be referred to by the data content display process in S3.
On the other hand, if it is determined that the IC card is not inserted (S10: NO), the process is terminated.

  Next, the typing game execution processing program of S6 performed on the typing game machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the typing game execution processing program according to this embodiment.

  In the typing game execution process, the CPU 51 first corresponds to the music selected by the music selection process of S5 in the music data stored in each storage area (see FIG. 15) of the music data storage area 56 of the HDD in S21. Read music data. In particular, the lyrics data stored in the lyrics data storage area 56D is divided for each phrase and temporarily stored in the RAM 54.

  Next, a main game screen (see FIGS. 4B and 5B) is displayed on the first liquid crystal display 3 in S22. At this time, no character string is displayed on the lyrics display unit 22 and the Roman character display unit 23, and the score and score display on the score display unit 27 are also "0".

  Subsequently, in S23, based on the video data stored in the video data storage area 56A, the display of the PV video 20 related to the music selected on the second liquid crystal display 4 is started (FIG. 4A and FIG. 5). A)). Further, accompaniment music is output via the speaker 8 based on the performance data stored in the performance data storage area 56B, and sound is output based on the audio data stored in the sound data storage area 56C. As a result, the music is played and the PV video 20 is reproduced accordingly.

  Next, the lyrics for one phrase of the lyrics data stored in the RAM 54 are acquired in S24. And the character string display process which displays the character string 22A corresponding to the acquired lyrics data on the lyrics display part 22 of the main game screen 21 is performed (S25). Thereby, the first liquid crystal display 3 displays the main game screen 21 in parallel with the performance of the music and the display of the PV video 20 on the second liquid crystal display 4 (FIGS. 4B and 5B). reference).

  Thereafter, in S26, the number n of characters of one phrase is calculated based on the lyrics data of one phrase acquired in S24, and 0 is substituted for an arbitrary variable m stored in the RAM 54 (S27). Here, the arbitrary variable m is a variable used for character input determination for each character forming one phrase, and is incremented by one each time input determination for one character is completed (S34). Therefore, in each input determination process repeatedly performed in the following S28 to S35, when m = t (0 ≦ t ≦ n−1), input determination of the character positioned at the t + 1th position from the head of one phrase is performed. It will be.

  Furthermore, in S28, based on the operation signal from the keyboard 6, it is determined whether or not the key input by the character input key 111 has been performed. If it is determined that there is a key input (S28: YES), the correctness determination process for the input key is performed based on the type of the pressed key and the determination reference data stored in the determination reference data storage area 56E. (S29). Specifically, when the key corresponding to the character string 22A displayed on the lyrics display portion 22 (see FIGS. 4B and 5B) of the main game screen 21 is pressed, it is the correct type. Be recognized. If it is determined that a key other than the corresponding key has been pressed, 1 is added to the number of misses. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S32.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no key input (S28: NO), a character string corresponding to one phrase is displayed on the main game screen 21 for a predetermined time (when the first character of one phrase is input). After (S25), when other characters are input, score calculation processing is performed (measured after (S33).) It is determined based on the information of the timer 58 (S30). ). And when it determines with predetermined time not having passed (S30: NO), it returns to the process of S28.

  On the other hand, when the CPU 51 determines that the predetermined time has elapsed (S30: YES), it is determined that the key input by the player has not been performed, and the number of mistakes in the current game stored in the RAM 54 is incremented by one. (S31).

  Subsequently, in S32, a light emission process of the key is performed based on the full color LED 155 provided inside the key of the keyboard 6. Specifically, in the typing game machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when there is a key input (S28: YES), and when it is determined that the correct type has been made, the pressed character input key 111 turns blue. Make it emit light. If there is a key input (S28: YES), and it is determined that the wrong type has been made, the pressed character input key 111 is lit red, and the correct key to be input is lit green. . Further, when there is no key input (S28: NO), the correct key to be input is illuminated in green.

  In S33, a score calculation process is performed based on the correctness determination process in S29. In the score calculation process, the player's score (score) in the current game stored in the RAM 54 is added when it is determined that it is correctly typed in the determination by the right / wrong determination process, and the music to be played If it is determined that the corresponding character has been typed at the same timing as the voice, the score is further added.

  Thereafter, in S34, the variable m stored in the RAM 54 is read, "+1" is added, and the variable m is stored again. Subsequently, in S35, it is determined whether or not the value of the variable m has reached n-1, that is, whether or not the character input determination for each character forming one phrase has been completed.

  If it is determined that the value of the variable m has not reached n−1 (S35: NO), the process returns to S28 again and is positioned in the next order among the characters constituting one phrase. Character input judgment is performed.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the value of the variable m has reached n−1 (S35: YES), input of one phrase has been completed, and therefore point addition processing is performed in S36. In the point addition process, one point is added when it is determined that the input has been completed without making a typo in the n characters constituting one phrase (including the determination of a typo after a predetermined time (S31)). .

  Subsequently, in S37, the character string 22A displayed on the lyrics display portion 22 of the main game screen 21 is deleted. After that, among the character strings constituting one phrase displayed in S25 to S37, the character part that could be correctly typed during the game (hereinafter referred to as the correct answer character string) cannot be typed correctly. The character part (specifically, the character part that was typoed during the game or the character part that was not input within the time when the character string was displayed, hereinafter referred to as an erroneous answer character string) The correct / incorrect character string classification process stored in the RAM 54 is performed (S38). Then, the display mode of the lyrics character string displayed on the lyrics type result screen 35 (see FIG. 6A), which will be described later, is changed based on the character strings divided by the correct / incorrect character string dividing process (S52 in FIG. 18). , S53). It should be noted that the character string correctly typed here means that the character string 22A is displayed on the lyrics display section 22 regardless of whether or not the timing of the sound of the music to be played matches (S25 to S25). If a character corresponding to (during S37) is typed, it is determined as a correctly typed character string.

  Subsequently, in S39, of the lyrics of the music displayed in S25 to S37, the lyrics part properly sung during the game (hereinafter referred to as appropriate lyrics) and the lyrics part that could not be properly sung (specifically Specifically, a karaoke appropriateness determination process stored in the RAM 54 is performed by classifying a lyrics portion that could not be sung by a correct word or a lyrics portion that could not be sung at a correct tempo (hereinafter referred to as inappropriate lyrics). And the display mode of the lyric displayed on the lyric karaoke result screen 70 (refer FIG. 7 (A)) mentioned later changes based on the lyrics divided by the karaoke appropriateness determination process (S62, S63 of FIG. 19). Note that the lyrics properly sung here are correct words by the CPU 51 based on the audio signal input from the microphone 24 during the typing game and the scoring reference data stored in the scoring reference data storage area 56I. When it is determined that the song is sung at the tempo, the lyrics portion is determined as a properly sung lyrics portion.

  Further, in S40, it is determined whether or not the input determination of the phrase of the stage corresponding to any one of a plurality of song numbers (usually one song is composed of Nos. 1 to 3) constituting the song is completed. Is done. If it is determined that the input determination of all phrases for one stage has not been completed (S40: NO), the process returns to S24, the lyrics of the next phrase are acquired from the RAM 54, and the main game screen 21 is displayed. The corresponding character string is displayed on the lyrics display unit 22.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the input determination of all phrases for one stage has been completed (S40: YES), whether or not the input determination of phrases for all stages (all songs in the music) has been completed. Is determined (S41).

  If it is determined that all stages have been completed (S41: YES), the process proceeds to the karaoke scoring process of S43 regardless of the points owned by the player. On the other hand, if it is determined that all the stages have not been completed (S41: NO), it is determined whether or not the number of typographical errors of the player added up in S29 and S31 is less than a predetermined number. (S42). The typing game machine 1 according to the present embodiment includes a plurality of stages according to the number of music numbers of the music to be played back, and when one stage is completed, the stage related to the next music number is continued. In order to play the game, it is a condition that the number of typographical errors from the start of the game is less than a predetermined number of times (for example, to play No. 2 after playing the portion corresponding to No. 1 of the song number) Less than 20 typo mistakes, less than 35 to continue 3 after playing the part corresponding to No. 2).

  If it is determined that the number of typographical errors of the player added in S29 or S31 is less than a predetermined number (S42: YES), the process returns to S24, and corresponds to the first phrase of the next song number. Lyrics are acquired from the RAM 54, and a character string corresponding to the main game screen 21 is displayed on the lyrics display unit 22. Then, input determination processing is performed in the same manner. On the other hand, when it is determined that the number of typographical errors of the player is equal to or greater than the predetermined number (S42: NO), the process proceeds to S43.

  In S43, based on the determination result of the karaoke appropriateness determination process in S39 and the evaluation result of the loudness and the height of the voice of the player based on the voice signal input from the microphone 24, “0 to 100 points” The karaoke score is calculated between. Thereafter, the typing game execution process is terminated, and the process proceeds to the type result display process of S7.

Further, when the keyboard 6 is operated in this state, the characters input to the name input display unit 34 are displayed based on the operation signal. If the acquired score (score) is equal to or higher than the predetermined score, the ranking data stored in the RAM 54 is updated.
On the other hand, on the lyrics type result screen 35, the lyrics of the musical piece played in the typing game execution process of S6, that is, the lyrics displayed on the lyrics display unit 22 and the character string 22A to be typed by the player are displayed again. . At this time, the character string divided into the correct character strings is displayed as the normal character string 40 in accordance with the correct / incorrect character string classification information acquired in S51. Moreover, the character string divided into the incorrect answer character strings is replaced with the underlined portion 41 and displayed.

  In S53, the lyrics type result screen 35 displayed on the second liquid crystal display 4 is scrolled upward at a predetermined speed, and the entire lyrics are displayed in order from the song number 1. If the number of misses is equal to or greater than the predetermined number and the game ends in the middle of the stage (S42: NO), the lyrics of the song numbers that have not been played (for example, the number of misses at the end of the first stage) If the number of times is greater than or equal to the predetermined number, the game is ended only in the first stage, so that all the lyrics after the music number 2 are replaced with the underlined portion 41 and displayed.

  Next, in S54, it is determined whether or not the full text of the lyrics of the music is scroll-displayed on the lyrics type result screen 35. If it is determined that the full text has not been displayed yet (S54: NO), the display is continued. On the other hand, if it is determined that the display of the full text has been completed (S54: YES), the process proceeds to S55.

  In S55, the lyric type result screen 35 displayed on the second liquid crystal display 4 and the type result screen 30 displayed on the first liquid crystal display 3 are erased. Subsequently, in S56, the game mode set in S5 is set. Whether or not is in karaoke mode is determined.

When it is determined that the karaoke mode is set (S56: YES), the type result display process is terminated, and the process proceeds to the determination process of S8.
On the other hand, if it is determined that the karaoke mode is not set (S56: NO), a game end screen is displayed on the first liquid crystal display 3 (S57). On the game end screen, characters “Game Over” are displayed to notify the player that the current game is completely ended.

  Next, the karaoke result display processing program of S8 performed by the typing game machine 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the karaoke result display processing program according to the present embodiment.
