4. A method for conducting a musical computer game, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) receiving a first input from an electronic device, said first input pertaining to performance of music by a user; (b) receiving a second input pertaining at least to music intended to be performed by the user; (c) comparing the first input and the second input and computing at least one indicia of the user'"'"'s success in performing the intended music; (d) sending to a display module associated with the user information including at least the music intended to be performed by the user and the indicia of the user'"'"'s success in performing the intended music correctly; (e) computing a timing signal suitable for indicating the speed at which the music should be shown on the display and played by the user, said timing signal computed according to two or more tempo modes selectable by the user, at least one of which varies continuously based at least in part based on the user'"'"'s actual performance of the music being displayed; and (f) sending the timing signal to the display module.
