SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING A TOUCHSCREEN AS AN INTERFACE FOR MUSIC-BASED GAMEPLAY

摘要

An interactive computerized game system (300) including a visual display (302), one or more user input devices (308), and a processor (306) executing software that interacts with the display (302) and input device(s) (308) is disclosed. The software displays images of musical targets on the visual display (302), the musical targets possibly corresponding to a pre-recorded source of music (312). At least one of the user input devices (308) is a touchscreen arranged to simulate a portion of a musical instrument. During gameplay, the gameplayer must touch the touchscreen at the appropriate time and/or in the appropriate location in response to the displayed images of musical targets. The system provides a positive indication if the player's input matches the attributes of the displayed musical targets.
