  • a third path 82 is formed between the marker 90b and the start point 91c along this locus.
  • n 3 ⁇ 1 notes (n 3 is an integer of 2 or more) appear from the start point 91c, and move on the third path 82 toward the marker 90b.

  • information such as the created travel route is stored in advance in the instruction display data storage unit 521 of the storage unit 510 in conjunction with the music and background screen, and the central processing unit 540 reads this information and reads the Display in correspondence with playback and display of the background image.
  • the central processing unit 540 performs processing for acquiring operation timing (step S406).

  • the central processing unit 540 performs addition processing of the player's earned points (step S408). Specifically, in step S407, points corresponding to the evaluation obtained by the player operation comparison determination process for each note are added to the player points. Furthermore, the central processing unit 540 determines whether or not the music has ended (step S409), and if it has not ended (in the case of No in step S409), returns to step S403. When it is finished (Yes in step S409), the final game result of the player is determined and displayed on the display unit 550 (step S410). Here, the central processing unit 540 ends the game (S411). Below, an example of the final result determination process of this embodiment is demonstrated.

  • the final judgment value is calculated by adding the value obtained by multiplying the evaluation score of the obtained notebook evaluation ratio by the adjustment coefficient.
  • Each player is assigned to a predetermined rank according to the final determination value.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un jeu musical ayant une plus grande incidence et permettant à un joueur de progresser dans un jeu tout en profitant plus que jamais d'images de fond. Ce dispositif de traitement de jeu de type musical encourage un joueur à suivre le rythme d'une musique prédéterminée. Pendant une section de musique prédéterminée, ledit dispositif de traitement de jeu affiche une marque de référence, un point de départ et une ligne de sorte que la marque de référence soit affichée à une position prédéterminée sur un écran d'affichage, que le point de départ s'étende à partir de la marque de référence, que le point de départ étendu soit interrompu à une position prédéterminée, et que la ligne servant de trajectoire de mouvement pour les marques d'instruction soit formée entre le point de départ interrompu et la marque de référence. Un nombre prédéterminé de marques d'instruction est affiché afin de se déplacer le long de la ligne depuis le point de départ interrompu vers la marque de référence. Une évaluation est ensuite effectuée pour déterminer si un instant acquis coïncide ou non, dans une plage admissible, avec l'instant auquel la marque de référence et une marque d'instruction se déplaçant le long de la ligne coïncident. Une fois l'évaluation terminée pour toutes les marques du nombre prédéterminé de marques d'instruction, la ligne disparaît complètement de l'écran d'affichage.
