Timing game device and program for timing game

A timing game device, comprising:

• an operation receiving unit that receives an operation to a controller by a user;
• a movement detection unit that detects a movement of a head mounted display that the user wears;
• a virtual-space image display unit that generates a virtual space image having a view field that changes in response to the movement of the head mounted display, which is detected by the movement detection unit, based on virtual-reality image data in which a plurality of hit areas are set at different positions in a virtual space having a range wider than a fixed view field corresponding to a case where the head mounted display is not moved, and displays the generated virtual space image on the head mounted display;
• a movement-line display unit that generates and displays a plurality of movement lines including a first movement line showing a trajectory of a first object toward the hit area set inside the virtual space that is inside of the view field corresponding to the virtual space image displayed by the virtual-space image display unit and a second movement line showing a trajectory of a second object toward the hit area set outside the virtual space that is outside of the view field corresponding to the virtual space image displayed by the virtual-space image display unit, in the virtual space image displayed by the virtual-space image display unit;
• an object display unit that displays the first object and the second object to move along the movement lines displayed by the movement-line display unit, in the virtual space image displayed by the virtual-space image display unit;
• and
• an operation evaluation unit that evaluates an operation on the first object based on whether or not the operation on the first object is received by the operation receiving unit at a timing at which the first object reaches the hit area set inside the virtual space having the view field corresponding to the virtual space image which is displayed by the virtual-space image display unit in response to the movement of the head mounted display, which is detected by the movement detection unit;
• wherein the movement-line display unit changes a display form of a type of line, a color of line, or blinking of the movement line in accordance with a distance between the hit area and the first object and the second object that is displayed by the object display unit so as to move along the movement line.

• an object display unit that displays the first object and the second object to move along the movement lines displayed by the movement-line display unit, in the virtual space image displayed by the virtual-space image display unit;
• and
• an operation evaluation unit that evaluates an operation on the first object based on whether or not the operation on the first object is received by the operation receiving unit at a timing at which the first object reaches the hit area set inside the virtual space having the view field corresponding to the virtual space image which is displayed by the virtual-space image display unit in response to the movement of the head mounted display, which is detected by the movement detection unit;
• wherein the movement-line display unit displays an active movement line indicating that the first object and the second object is moving to the hit area and an inactive movement line indicating that the first object and the second object is not moving to the hit area, so as to be distinguishable to each other by changing a thickness of line, a type of line, or a color of line between the active movement line and the inactive movement line;
• and
• wherein the movement-line display unit changes a display form of a type of line, a color of line, or blinking of the movement line in accordance with a distance between the hit area and the first object and the second object that is displayed by the object display unit so as to move along the movement line.

• object display means for displaying the first object and the second object to move along the movement lines displayed by the movement-line display means, in the virtual space image displayed by the virtual-space image display means;
• and
• operation evaluation means for evaluating an operation on the first object based on whether or not the operation on the first object is received by the operation receiving means at a timing at which the first object reaches the hit area set inside the virtual space having the view field corresponding to the virtual space image which is displayed by the virtual-space image display means in response to the movement of the head mounted display, which is detected by the movement detection means;
• wherein the movement-line display means displays the first movement line and the second movement line to be distinguishable to each other by changing presence or absence of blinking between the first movement line and the second movement line.
