Game machine, a storage medium storing a computer program used thereof, and control method

摘要

A game machine includes: a monitor (2) that displays and outputs a game screen (40R); a control panel (3) that includes volume controllers (9) operated so as to change a position of an outer circumferential portion (SP) of a knob portion (9T); a external storage device (20) that stores sequence data (30) in which a reference timing at which the volume controllers (9) are operated during a game is associated with a reference position at which the outer circumferential portion (SP) is to be positioned at the reference timing. And, the game machine teaches information of the reference timing and the reference position to a player, based on the sequence data (30).

主权项

1. A game machine comprising:
a display apparatus that displays and outputs a game screen; an input apparatus that includes at least one operating unit operated so as to change a position of a reference portion; a reference timing data storage device adapted and configured to store reference timing data in which a reference timing at which the operating unit is operated during a game is associated with information related to a reference position at which the reference portion is to be positioned at the reference timing; and an operation teach device adapted and configured to teach a player about the reference timing and the information of the reference position based on the reference timing data, wherein the operation teach device includes: a reference timing determining device adapted and configured to determine the reference timing included within a predetermined time range from a current time on the game to a future and the information of the reference position corresponding to the reference timing based on the reference timing data; and a mark control device adapted and configured to cause a reference mark representing each reference timing and the information of the reference positions corresponding to each reference timing determined by the reference timing determining device, and a current time mark corresponding to the current time, to be displayed along a time axis on the game by an arrangement of a time order, and cause relative displacement along the time axis between the reference mark and the current time mark such that a distance in a time axis direction between the reference mark and the current time mark changes with a decrease in a time difference between the reference timing to be taught by the reference mark and the current time, wherein information related to a position in a second direction crossing a first direction going along the time axis direction is described in the reference timing data as the information related to the reference position, and the mark control device teaches information related to the position in the second direction by displaying the reference mark at the position in the second direction corresponding to the reference timing at the reference timing on the time axis based on the information related to the position in the second direction.
