Whether game device 200 is differentiated to have and is operated definiteness really based on player and show (step S306).

That is to say, game device 200 differentiate selection/determination portion 205 whether corresponding player's operation from melody catalogue, determined the melody that will play.In addition, player is luminous by operating parts (trampling the panel of operating portion 208), and the content of the trample action that confirmation melody is realized, while wanting to play this melody, is sent and determined indication.

Game device 200 is when differentiating for not determining when indication (step S306; No), make to process turning back to step S302, repeatedly carry out the processing of above-mentioned step S302～S306.

On the other hand, when differentiate for have determine indicate time (step S306; Be), game device 200 is determined the melody (step S307) that will play.Like this, in the time that the melody that will play is determined, game device 200 starts dancing and game.

Can pass through this melody selection/definite processing, the definite melody (melody that will play) that will the play when problem of the melody of confirmation formation broadcasting candidate is moved (content of pin spectrum).

That is to say, owing to playing the concise and to the point by luminous being prompted of operating parts (trampling the panel of operating portion 208) of trample action that the melody of candidate realizes, so can support in advance interior perhaps its difficulty etc. of holding the trample action that this melody realizes.Therefore melody or its difficulty that, player played before can remembering.In addition, even the melody of not playing or newly bent also can be trampled realized movement content or difficulty etc., be easy to the new melody of playing, increase so can make to be good at program.

Its result, can be easier to the melody that selection will be played.

(other embodiments)

The invention is not restricted to above-mentioned embodiment, can also carry out various distortion and application.

In the above-described embodiment, luminous indication information HS to light emitting control portion 207 based on being generated is in the timing (according to identical time series) identical with pin spectrum row, the panel that makes dance step framework 20 successively luminous situation is illustrated, but luminous speed (time series) can be different from actual pin spectrum row.

; light emitting control portion 207 can dwindle the interval of luminous indication information HS (strings of commands); make its time series than actual pin spectrum row (trample action) luminous fast; or contrary; expand the interval of the strings of commands, make its time series than actual trample action luminous slow.

That is to say, the panel that makes dance step framework 20 in concise and to the point demonstration luminous interval successively, and for being ratio with this concise and to the point interval that shows the trample action that suitable pin spectrum part player when actual the playing should take successively.Thus, the ratio at the interval of order that be prompted, trample action and trample action in concise and to the point demonstration, the ratio that player should complete when playing is consistent.Thereby, see concise and to the point demonstration by player, can support and hold which melody forms the melody of candidate be.

Specifically,, as an example, make the concise and to the point speed showing selected in three phases (fast, common, slow).For example, if player is beginner, select concise and to the point demonstration at a slow speed, thus the interior perhaps difficulty etc. that is easy to support and holds trample action.On the contrary, if player is advanced games person, selects briefly to show fast, thereby can support at short notice the interior perhaps difficulty of holding trample action.

In the above-described embodiment, illustrate that the operating parts (panel of dance step framework 20) to trampling operating portion 208 carries out light emitting control, thereby the concise and to the point situation about showing of the trample action of realizing while making to play, but also can on display 12, show the image of operating parts etc., and make the image of this operating parts trample action that briefly shows such as luminous.

In addition, determine melody as for selection/determination portion in any situation 205, this is adjustable.For example, selection/determination portion 205 often briefly shows, all carries out processing shown below.First, selection/determination portion 205 luminous operating parts in the time of concise and to the point demonstration each when luminous all decision part whether from this is luminous, trampled at the appointed time.Then the number of times that the operating parts that, selection/determination portion 205 is obtained luminous is trampled at the appointed time from this is luminous.Here, selection/determination portion 205 exceedes definite melody stipulated number at the number of times of obtaining.On the other hand, selection/determination portion 205 does not exceed uncertain melody stipulated number at the number of times of obtaining.Now, again briefly show.In addition, as for determine melody in the situation that trample action skillfully arrives any degree, this can adjust by adjusting stipulated number or stipulated time.For example, in order to make definite difficulty that becomes of melody, increase stipulated number or shorten the stipulated time.On the other hand, in order to make the definite of melody become simple, reduce stipulated number or increase the stipulated time.

In addition, can not be also the number of times that the operating parts based on luminous is trampled at the appointed time from this is luminous, but the ratio of the number of times that operating parts based on luminous is trampled at the appointed time from this is luminous determine whether definite melody.For example, selection/determination portion 205 luminous operating parts in the time of concise and to the point demonstration is each all judges whether this operating parts is trampled at the appointed time from this is luminous when luminous.Then, selection/determination portion 205 is obtained the number of times that luminous operating parts is trampled at the appointed time from this is luminous.At this, selection/determination portion 205 is by the number of light emission times when once briefly showing by the number of times of obtaining, and obtains the ratio of the number of times that luminous operating parts trampled at the appointed time from this is luminous.Then, selection/determination portion 205 exceedes definite melody regulation ratio in the ratio of obtaining.On the other hand, selection/determination portion 205 does not exceed uncertain melody regulation ratio in the ratio of obtaining.Now, again briefly show.In addition, skillfully in the situation of any degree, determine melody as for trample action, this can adjust by adjusting stipulated number or stipulated time.For example, in order to make definite difficulty that becomes of melody, increase regulation ratio or shorten the stipulated time.On the other hand, in order to make the definite of melody become simple, reduce regulation ratio or increase the stipulated time.

In the above-described embodiment, for the melody of the broadcasting candidate of selecting, the situation of carrying out the concise and to the point demonstration of trample action is described from melody catalogue, but also can have briefly shown other trample actions.

For example, the player's (best player) of pre-stored acquisition top score point trample action is (as an example, the characteristic trample actions such as the interval of climax part), in the time that any one player does not play, (state to be played), briefly shows this best player's trample action.

Now, can infer the best player's of this amusement park strength, and as long as advanced games person etc., can think oneself to obtain top score point, prediction can become the good luck of the dancing and game of playing.

In addition, with above-mentioned the same, can, in the time of concise and to the point demonstration, accept the trample action to operating parts (panel of dance step framework 20), be played immediately with identical melody.

In the above-described embodiment, represented to form the acquiescence melody of playing candidate as the example of predefined melody.But, also the acquiescence melody that forms broadcasting candidate can be made as to action melody the most accurately in the action of being undertaken by all players.For example, selection/determination portion 205, for all playing of being undertaken by any one player, stores melody and point scoring foundation accordingly.Then, selection/determination portion 205 is obtained the equalization point of point scoring to each melody.At this, selection/determination portion 205 is set as giving tacit consent to melody by the melody the highest equalization point of point scoring.

Expect that this melody is the melody of being selected by multiple players, the melody of being selected by advanced games person or melody (famous melody) of being widely known by the people etc.Therefore, can think that this melody is the high melody of possibility that player selects.Thereby, by this melody is made as to acquiescence melody, player's operation burden can alleviate melody selection time.

In the above-described embodiment, represent that to presetting by concise and to the point demonstration the example in the interval (hereinafter referred to as " characteristic interval ") of the action that player should carry out is illustrated.But, in the present invention, also can determine characteristic interval with dynamical fashion.

Now, melody catalogue generating unit 203 will be characteristic interval forming the action the most interval decision of being undertaken by all players in multiple intervals of melody.For example, melody catalogue generating unit 203, to forming each of multiple intervals of the melody that is selected as the melody of playing candidate, is obtained the success rate of this interval trample action.Then, the interval the highest success rate of trample action is determined the characteristic interval for this melody by melody catalogue generating unit 203.

Can think the action undertaken by all players the most accurately interval be the interval that the rhythm of melody is grasped exactly by player.And can think that this interval played repeatedly interval or the interval etc. that is equivalent to climax part best embody the interval of melody feature.Therefore, this interval is set to characteristic interval, and characteristic action in this characteristic interval is prompted to player, is which melody thereby player is easy to grasp the melody that is selected as playing candidate.

In the above-described embodiment, trample action is illustrated as an example, but also can be suitably adapted to the game device that the action except this trample action is evaluated.

For example, for using the controller of built-in acceleration transducer, coordinate the melody of being played, the somatic sensation television game that carries out wobbling action or tilting action etc. by player, can be suitable for too.

Now, game device is stored the topic information suitable with pin spectrum information and melody foundation accordingly, before game starts, for example, shows the image of operating parts etc., thereby wobbling action or tilting action etc. are briefly shown on display 12.
