Abstract
A guide unit of a game device moves a guide image from a generation position to a return position and thereafter moves the game image from the return position toward the generation position in a game screen, based on reference timing data indicating a reference timing at which a player should perform a game operation, to thereby indicate the reference timing to the player. A game operation detection unit detects a game operation by a player. An evaluation unit evaluates a game operation by a player, based on an operation timing at which a player performs a game operation and a reference timing indicated by the reference timing data.
Claims16
A game device for executing a game in which a player performs a game operation to music, comprising:
- a reference timing data obtaining unit, for obtaining reference timing data from a storage unit which stores reference timing data indicating a reference timing at which the player should perform the game operation;
- a guide unit for indicating the reference timing to the player by moving a guide image in a game screen from a generation position to a return position and thereafter moving the guide image from the return position toward the generation position, based on the reference timing data;
- a game operation detector for detecting the game operation by the player;
- and
- an evaluator for evaluating the game operation by the player, based on an operation timing at which the player performs the game operation and the reference timing indicated by the reference timing data.
A control method for a game device for executing a game in which a player performs a game operation to music, comprising:
- obtaining reference timing data from a storage unit which stores reference timing data indicating a reference timing at which the player should perform the game operation;
- indicating the reference timing to the player by moving a guide image in a game screen from a generation position to a return position and thereafter moving the guide image from the return position toward the generation position, based on the reference timing data;
- detecting the game operation by the player;
- and
- evaluating the game operation by the player, based on an operation timing at which the player performs the game operation and the reference timing indicated by the reference timing data.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing program for causing a computer to function as a game device for executing a game in which a player performs a game operation to music, the program further causing the computer to:
- obtain reference timing data from a storage which stores-reference timing data indicating a reference timing at which the player should perform the game operation;
- indicate the reference timing to the player by moving a guide image in a game screen from a generation position to a return position and thereafter moving the guide image from the return position toward the generation position, based on the reference timing data;
- detect the game operation by the player;
- and
- evaluate the game operation by the player, based on an operation timing at which the player performs the game operation and the reference timing indicated by the reference timing data.
(canceled)
A game device for executing a game in which a player performs a game operation to music, comprising:
- means for obtaining reference timing data from a storage which stores reference timing data indicating a reference timing at which the player should perform the game operation;
- guide means for indicating the reference timing to the player by moving a guide image in a game screen from a generation position to a return position and thereafter moving the guide image from the return position toward the generation position, based on the reference timing data;
- game operation detection means for detecting the game operation by the player;
- and
- evaluation means for evaluating the game operation by the player, based on an operation timing at which the player performs the game operation and the reference timing indicated by the reference timing data.
A game device for executing a game in which a player performs a game operation to music, the game device comprising at least one microprocessor configured to:
- obtain reference timing data from a storage which stores reference timing data indicating a reference timing at which the player should perform the game operation;
- indicate the reference timing to the player by moving a guide image in a game screen from a generation position to a return position and thereafter moving the guide image from the return position toward the generation position, based on the reference timing data;
- detect the game operation by the player;
- and
- evaluate the game operation by the player, based on an operation timing at which the player performs the game operation and the reference timing indicated by the reference timing data.
