Abstract
A game apparatus displaying on a screen moves to be made by the player in time with reproduction of a piece of music is provided. In the game apparatus, a reproduction part reproduces music stored in a storage. The music to be reproduced is divided into multiple segments of the same length of time and an image is associated with each of the multiple segments, presenting moves to be made by the player while that segment is reproduced. Multiple regions are provided on the screen. The display part displays an image stored in the storage and associated with a segment i+j−1 among the multiple segments in a region j among the multiple regions on the screen while a segment i among the multiple segments is reproduced by the reproduction part.
Claims8
A game apparatus displaying on a screen moves to be made by a player in time with reproduction of a piece of music, wherein:
- said piece of music is divided into multiple segments of the same length of time and an image is associated with each of said multiple segments, presenting moves to be made by said player while that segment is reproduced;
- multiple regions are provided on said screen;
- and
- said game apparatus comprises:
- a reproduction part reproducing said music;
- and
- a display part displaying an image associated with a segment i+j−1 among said multiple segments in a region j among said multiple regions on said screen while a segment i among said multiple segments is reproduced by said reproduction part.
A game processing method executed in a game apparatus displaying on a screen moves to be made by a player in time with reproduction of a piece of music, wherein:
- said piece of music is divided into multiple segments of the same length of time and an image is associated with each of said multiple segments, presenting moves to be made by said player while that segment is reproduced;
- multiple regions are provided on said screen;
- said game apparatus has a reproduction part and a display part;
- said reproduction part comprises a reproduction step of reproducing said music;
- and
- said display part comprises a display step of displaying an image associated with a segment i+j−1 among said multiple segments in a region j among said multiple regions on said screen while a segment i among said multiple segments is reproduced by said reproduction part.
A computer-readable information recording medium in which recorded are programs that allow a computer to function as a game apparatus displaying on a screen moves to be made by a player in time with reproduction of a piece of music, wherein:
- said piece of music is divided into multiple segments of the same length of time and an image is associated with each of said multiple segments, presenting moves to be made by said player while that segment is reproduced;
- multiple regions are provided on said screen;
- and
- said programs allow said computer to function as a reproduction part reproducing said music;
- and
- a display part displaying an image associated with a segment i+j−1 among said multiple segments in a region j among said multiple regions on said screen while a segment i among said multiple segments is reproduced by said reproduction part.
