Here, the music game device 10 determines the number of times the player should perform an operation input in a predetermined period in accordance with a predetermined lottery sampling process, that is, the second condition, that is, the clearance condition of the mini game. Figure 6 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a lottery sample table used for predetermined lottery sampling processing. . In the example lottery sampling table of Fig. 6, each of the random numbers from 0 to 999 corresponds to the content type indicating the second condition, that is, corresponds to the operation input that should be performed by the player in the predetermined period. The number of times is one of a value of 20 times, a value of 35 times, a value of 50 times, and a value of 80 times. In addition, in the example lottery sampling table of the example of Fig. 6, the value representing 20 times corresponds to 250 random numbers (the election probability is 25%), and the value representing 35 times corresponds to 375 random numbers ( The election rate is 37.5%), indicating 50 values, corresponding to 250 random values (the election probability is 25%), and the value representing 80 times, corresponding to 125 random numbers (the election rate is 12.5%).

Next, the music game device 10 obtains one of the random numbers by the random number of the lottery sampling from 0 to 999 generated by the random number generation program at an arbitrary time, and determines whether the acquired random number is the same as the example of FIG. In the lottery sampling table, the value representing any number of times corresponds. Next, the music game device 10 sets the number of operation inputs corresponding to the value of the acquired random value to the second condition. Therefore, the music game device 10 of the present embodiment can change the probability, frequency, and difficulty level of the next song material after the mini-game is cleared, and can be changed in accordance with the number of operation inputs set as the second condition.

Then, as shown in FIG. 7(A), the music game device 10 instructs the player to start an operation input, and displays an operation start screen for displaying the remaining time of the predetermined period to the player on the display unit 16. Next, when the player continuously performs the operation input on the operation input unit 14, as shown in the seventh (B) diagram, the player is displayed with the food input for each time the operation input is performed, and the food is continuously reduced. And show the game to the player The display screen of the remaining time of the period is displayed on the display unit 16.

Next, after a predetermined period of time elapses, the music game device 10 determines whether or not the number of operation inputs performed by the player during the predetermined period has reached the number of operation inputs set to the second condition. Then, as shown in Fig. 21, the music game device 10 displays a performance screen showing that the food eaten by the game character is only slightly displayed on the display unit 16, and executes the promotion game player to eat all the food through the game character.

As shown in Fig. 9, the music game device 10 first, after receiving the game fee from the player (in the state of "YES" in the step S10), causes the player to select the song and execute the process of playing the selected song ( Step S12). Fig. 10 is a detailed schematic diagram showing the flow of the song playing process of step S12 shown in Fig. 9. As shown in FIG. 10, in the song playing process, the music game device 10 first displays a screen of a plurality of playable song titles on the display unit 16, and accepts that the player selects a song to be played from among the plurality of song names. Name operation (step S100), setting The song material of the selected song name (step S102). Next, the player selects an operation of the number of game levels to be played from among a plurality of game levels from the minimum number of difficulty levels 1 to the highest number 4 (step S104), and sets the selected song name and Corresponding to the game level screen and the reference time data (step S106).

Next, the set song data and the spectrum screen are simultaneously played (step S108), and the elapsed time since the start of the playback is counted (step S110).

Next, when the reference time at which the operation input is to be performed is reached (YES in step S112), the operation input of the leather surface 22 of the operation input unit 14 is tapped, or the peripheral edge 24 of the leather surface 22 of the operation input portion 14 is tapped. In the operation input, when the correct operation input to be executed at the reference time has been executed (in the state of YES in step S114), the successful performance is performed and the score is added (step S116). On the other hand, when an erroneous operation input is performed at this time, or when the operation input is not performed (NO in step S114), the failed performance is executed (step S118).

In the case where the reference time at which the operation input is to be performed has not arrived (NO in step S112), and the operation input has been executed at this time (in the state of "YES" in step S120), When the failed operation is performed (step S118), if the operation input is not performed (NO in step S120), the state is moved to the next step.

Then, it is determined whether the song material being played reaches the final point of the song material, if the final point is not reached (NO in step S122) State), the processing from step S110 to step S122 is repeatedly performed. On the other hand, when the final point has been reached (YES in step S122), the playback of the song material is ended.

In this way, when the song playing process of FIG. 10 is completed (step S12 of FIG. 9), as shown in FIG. 9, the song that has executed the game is executed in accordance with the score added in the playback of the song material. "Can" or "not" evaluation (step S14). Then, when the evaluation condition of the evaluation unit 110 is "OK" and the first condition is satisfied (YES in step S16), whether or not the number of executions of the song playback processing in step S12 is three (predetermined) In the case of the number of times, it is determined whether or not the three songs have been played (step S18), and the game has not been played for the three songs (NO in step S18). The processing of steps S12 to S16 is repeatedly performed. On the other hand, when the game has been executed for the three songs (YES in step S18), the game is ended even if the first condition is not satisfied.

In addition, when the evaluation unit 110 evaluates as "not available" and does not satisfy the first condition (in the state of "NO" in step S16), it is determined whether or not the number of times of the song playing processing executed in step S12 is one (predetermined number of times). For example, it is determined whether or not the song evaluated as "unable" is the first song after the start of the game (step S20). Next, when it is not the first song (in the state of "NO" in step S20), the game is ended. In addition, when the song that is evaluated as "unable" is the first song after the start of the game (in the state of "YES" in step S20), it is determined whether or not the set number of game levels is the number of stages 2 or more (step S22). ). However, in the case where the number is not equal to or greater than 2 (the state of "NO" in step S22), that is, in the game When the difficulty level is the lowest level 1, the game is ended.

On the other hand, when the number of game levels to be set is equal to or greater than 2 (in the state of YES in step S22), the clearance condition of the mini game as the second condition is based on predetermined lottery sampling processing. The number of times the operation input by the player should be performed within a predetermined period of time is determined (step S23). Next, mini game execution processing is performed (step S24).

Fig. 11 is a flow chart showing in detail the mini-game execution processing of step S24 shown in Fig. 9. As shown in FIG. 11, the music game device 10 first displays the guidance screen for guiding the player to execute the mini game (see FIG. 5) on the display unit 16 in the mini game execution processing (step S120).

Then, an operation start screen for instructing the player to start the operation input and simultaneously displaying the remaining time of the predetermined period to the player is displayed on the display unit 16 (see FIG. 7(A)), and the player's continuous operation input is accepted ( Step S124). Next, the predetermined period is counted (step S126), and the number of consecutive operation inputs of the player is counted (step S128). Next, it is determined whether or not the predetermined period of time has elapsed (step S130). If the predetermined period has not ended (NO in step S130), the processing of steps S126 and S128 is repeatedly performed. On the other hand, when the predetermined period has ended (YES in step S130), the execution processing of the mini-game is ended.

As described above, when the mini-game execution processing of FIG. 11 is completed (step S24 of FIG. 9), as shown in FIG. 9, it is determined that the player performs the operation input during the predetermined period of the mini-game execution processing. Whether the number of times The number of operation inputs to the second condition is set (step S26). When the second condition is satisfied (YES in step S26), the player is shown that the second condition is satisfied, and the player is shown the success of the second condition that the next song material is about to be played. The screen (see Fig. 8(A)) is displayed on the display unit 16. Next, the condition of one song is limited, and after the song playing process as shown in FIG. 10 is executed (step S28), the game is ended. On the other hand, when the second condition is not satisfied (NO in step S26), the player is shown a failure screen that does not satisfy the second condition of the second condition (see Fig. 8(B) ) is displayed on the display unit 16 .

However, the basic configuration of the appearance configuration, the data structure, and the hardware configuration of the music game device 301 of the present embodiment is the same as that of the music game device 10 of the first embodiment described above. Therefore, the music of the third embodiment will be described below. The characteristic portions of the game device 301 will be described.

Fig. 15 is a block diagram showing the function of the music game device 301 of the present embodiment. Further, in the present embodiment, the configuration of the constituent elements (each unit) of the fifteenth diagram may be omitted. As shown in Fig. 15, the music game device 301 of the present embodiment has a setting input unit 303 and a probability change unit 317 as compared with the music game device 10 of the first embodiment shown in Fig. 3, and has a lottery. The sampling processing unit 316 is different from the condition setting unit 116 and the difference point in which the second determination unit 118 is not provided.

The setting input unit 303 is provided inside the music game device 301, and provides an administrator or a player of the music game device 301. When the setting information of the music game device 301 is required to be input, the setting input is performed, and the function can be transmitted through various switches. Wait to be implemented.

The lottery sampling processing unit 316 determines whether or not the next song material is played by the song playing unit 104 even if the first condition is not satisfied, depending on the predetermined lottery sampling processing. Specifically, the lottery sampling processing unit 316 determines whether or not the song playing unit 104 should play the next song material in accordance with a predetermined lottery sampling process when the first condition is not satisfied.

Fig. 16 is a view showing an example of a lottery sampling table used in predetermined lottery sampling processing executed by the music game device 301 of the present embodiment. As shown in Fig. 16, the music game device 301 has four lottery sampling tables, such as a first lottery sample table to a fourth lottery sample table. Further, in each of the lottery sampling tables, each of the random values of 0 to 999 is given a corresponding value corresponding to the election of the next song material for the song playing unit 104, or an unselected indicative value. value. In addition, in the first lottery sampling table, there are 50 random numbers (i.e., 5% chance of selection) given to the selected schematic values. The 2nd lottery sample table is given 250 corresponding values in the selected schematic values (ie, the election probability is 25%). The 3rd lottery sampling table is in the selected schematic value, and the corresponding correspondence has 500 random numbers (ie, the probability of being elected is 50%). The 4th lottery sampling table is one of the selected schematic values, corresponding to 1000 random numbers (ie, the probability of being elected is 100%).

The probability change unit 317 changes the probability that the lottery sampling processing unit 316 determines the selection based on the setting input to the setting input unit 303. Specifically, the probability changing unit 317 causes the song playing unit 104 to play the first lottery sample table to the fourth lottery sampling table having different probability of selecting the next song material, and any one of the tables is set to be predetermined. The lottery sampling table used in the lottery sampling process is used to change the probability that the lottery sampling processing unit 316 determines the election.

For example, the configuration input unit 303 is configured by four switches, and the probability changing unit 317 sets the lottery sampling table for the predetermined rate to be used for the predetermined lottery sampling process with the switch set to ON.

As a result, the music game device 301 of the present embodiment can make the probability that the next song material is played even if the first condition is not satisfied, and the lottery sampling processing unit 316 determines the probability of being selected. Variety.

4. Fourth embodiment

Next, the music game device 401 of the fourth embodiment will be described. Unlike the music game device 10 of the first embodiment, the music game device 401 of the present embodiment determines whether or not the song playing unit 104 plays the next one even if the first condition is not satisfied, based on the predetermined lottery sampling process. The second condition for the song material, or even if the first condition is not satisfied, the song playing unit 104 is selected to play the next song material. However, the basic configuration of the appearance configuration, the data structure, and the hardware configuration of the music game device 401 of the present embodiment is the same as that of the music game device 10 of the first embodiment described above. Therefore, the music of the fourth embodiment will be described below. The different feature portions of the game device 401 will be described.

Fig. 18 is a block diagram showing the function of the music game device 401 of the present embodiment. Further, in the present embodiment, a configuration in which the constituent elements (each unit) of the eighteenth diagram are omitted may be employed. As shown in Fig. 18, the music game device 401 of the present embodiment has a lottery sampling processing unit 416 instead of the music game device 10 of the first embodiment shown in Fig. 3. The difference in the setting unit 116 is different.

The lottery sampling processing unit 416 determines the second condition based on the predetermined lottery sampling process, or selects the song playing unit 104 to play the next song material. Specifically, the lottery sampling processing unit 416 determines whether or not the player who is the second condition performs the operation within a predetermined period of time in accordance with the predetermined lottery sampling process when the first condition is not satisfied. The number of times of input is set to an arbitrary number of times to execute a mini game or not to execute a mini game, and the song playing unit 104 plays the next song material.

Fig. 19 is a diagram showing an example of a lottery sampling table used in a predetermined lottery sampling process executed by the music game device 401 of the present embodiment. In the lottery sampling table in the example shown in Fig. 19, the random numbers from 0 to 999 correspond to the second condition, that is, the number of times the player should perform the operation input within a predetermined period of time is 20 The minimum value of the execution mini-game, the indication value of the execution of the mini-game 35 times, the indication value of the execution of the mini-game 50 times, the indication value of the execution of the mini-game for 80 times, and the various expressions such as not executing the mini-game. In the case, the song playback unit 104 may play the value of the next song data, and may be any one of the above-described respective values. Further, in the lottery sampling table in the example of Fig. 19, the number of operations to be performed is 20 times of the execution value of the mini-game, and the corresponding 250 random numbers (the election probability is 25%) are awarded. Should The operational value of the execution of the mini-game is 35 times, and the corresponding random number is given 300 (the probability of being elected is 30%). The number of operations that should be performed is 50 times the execution value of the mini-game, and the corresponding 250 random values (the election probability is 25%) are awarded. The number of executions of the operation is 80 times of the execution value of the mini-game, and the corresponding 100 random values are awarded (the election probability is 10%). In the case where it is indicated that the mini game is not executed, the song playing unit 104 plays the indicative value of the next song material, and grants 100 random numbers corresponding thereto (the election probability is 10%).

Next, the lottery sampling processing unit 416 obtains one of the random numbers for the lottery sampling from 0 to 999 generated by the random number generating program, and determines one of the random numbers obtained at an arbitrary time. Whether or not the thumbnail value of any number of times or the mini-game is not executed in the lottery sampling table of the example of Fig. 19 is such that the song playback unit 104 plays the corresponding value of the next song material.
