온라인 게임 중에서 악기 연주 게임이 있다. 이 악기 연주 게임은 사용자가 곡목을 선택하고, 당해 곡목에서 연주할 악기(예 : 피아노, 기타, 드럼 등)를 선택한다. 그리고 사용자가 게임 시작을 선택하면, 선택된 곡목의 음원 재생이 시작되며 복수개 열로 구성된 게임 화면에서 블록이 하단의 엔드 라인으로 낙하한다. 곡목의 재생 중에 사용자는 개별 열에서 낙하하는 블록이 엔드 라인을 통과할 때마다 당해 열에 배정된 키보드 또는 버튼을 누르고, 사용자의 버튼 입력 시점이 엔드 라인 통과 시점과 일치하면 유효 입력이라 판단되어 선택된 악기의 음을 발생시킨다. 따라서, 실제 악기를 연주하지 못하는 사용자라도 블럭 게임의 버튼 입력을 통하여 당해 악기의 연주를 수행할 수 있다. 만약, 입력 시점의 불일치로 유효하게 입력을 못하는 경우, 게임 점수의 감점과 동시에 대응하는 당해 악기음은 발생되지 않는다.Among the online games are musical instruments. In this instrument playing game, the user selects a piece of music and selects an instrument (eg, piano, guitar, drum, etc.) to play in the piece. When the user selects the start of the game, the sound source of the selected song starts playing, and the block falls to the lower end line in the game screen composed of a plurality of rows. During playback of the song piece, the user presses the keyboard or button assigned to the row whenever a block falling from an individual row passes the end line, and if the user's button input time coincides with the end line passing time, it is determined to be an effective input and the selected instrument is selected. It generates the sound of. Therefore, even a user who cannot play an actual instrument can perform the performance of the instrument through the button input of the block game. If the input is not valid due to a mismatch in the input time, the corresponding musical instrument sound is not generated at the same time as the deduction of the game score.
한편, 상기 악기 연주 게임은 사용자가 네트워크를 통하여 타 사용자와 합주가 가능한데, 사용자는 타 사용자의 게임 능력(연주 실력) 및 정보(음악 취향, 성별, 나이 등)를 모른채 합주를 한다. 악기 합주 게임은 사용자가 대전을 통하여 높은 점수로 상대방을 이기는 것이 게임의 흥미 중 하나이다. 또한, 게임 실행되는 곡목의 재생 중에 개별 사용자에 의하여 선택된 악기음을 제대로 내어 아름다운 음악을 합주하는 것이 더욱 게임을 재미있게 한다. 하지만, 네트워크상에서 연주 실력이 차이가 나는 사용자들끼리 합주를 하는 경우 불완전한 합주가 된다. On the other hand, the user can play the instrument playing with other users through the network, the user does not know the game ability (playing skills) and information (music taste, gender, age, etc.) of the other users. In the musical instrument ensemble game, one of the interests of the game is that the user beats the opponent with a high score through the match. In addition, it is more fun to play a musical instrument selected by an individual user and play beautiful music together while playing a piece of music to be played. However, if the users who play on the network differ in performance, it becomes an incomplete ensemble.
또한, 오락실(게임방)에서 사용자가 악기 연주 게임을 잘할 경우, 그 연주를 듣고자 주변에 사람들이 모이기 시작한다. 연주가 끝나면 사람들이 환호성과 함께 박수를 보내기도 한다. 하지만, 이것은 관중이 사용자와 동일한 오프라인 공간에서 온라인 게임 중인 사용자를 지켜봐야만 스피커 출력되는 연주음을 들을 수 있어 관중이 제한적이다.In addition, when a user plays a musical instrument in a game room (game room), people begin to gather around to listen to the performance. After the performance, people applaud with cheers. However, this is limited because the audience can hear the sound output of the speaker only when the audience watches the online game in the same offline space as the user.
