Abstract: A system for coding beatbox expressions. An expression including a series of elements that each represents a unique beatbox sound. Each element has an alphabetic portion relating to the enunciation of the element and a graphical portion relating to the musical category which the beatbox sound should imitate. An electronic game or teaching tool wherein a beatbox expression is visually displayed on a screen and the user provides input in the form of the beatbox sounds represented in the expression into a microphone. Using a CPU and custom software, feedback is provided regarding the quality of the user's performance.

Abstract: A game system and method that uses an instrument as an input encourages a user to play along with the game's soundtrack on an instrument (e.g. guitar, bass, etc.). The game cues the player to play notes and/or chords on the instrument at an appropriate time and then data is collected from the instrument via a connection between the instrument and the apparatus running the game. The game then scores the user based on note/chord and timing information it receives.

Abstract: Disclosed is a game system comprising a monitor (3) that outputs the game screen display, a touch panel (5), and an external memory device (20) that stores sequence data (28) which records the operation timing for touch operation of a touch panel (5). The game system displays an object (60) that corresponds to the operation timing and an operation reference indicator (55) that corresponds to the current time in the game and guides the player's touch operation by reducing the distance between the object (60) and the operation reference indicator (55) according to the difference between the operation timing and the current time and by moving the object (60) such that the object (60) matches the operation reference indicator (55) at the operation timing. The game system also changes the distance between the object (60) and the operation reference indicator (55) in accordance with predetermined conditions.

Abstract: In a game device, a task memory stores a plurality of game tasks for indicating the timing when a player is to input an operation instruction. A receiver receives instructions from the player. A music player plays music, stops playing music when the player inputs a pause instruction, and restarts playing music when the player inputs a restart instruction. An object display displays object images that indicate the stored game tasks on a screen in pace with the played music, and displays only object images that indicate the game tasks for which the timing has never occurred once since the music began to be played. A score determiner determines the player's score for each of the game tasks based on the stored game tasks and the inputted operation instructions.
