Design and Development of a Music Game on Smartphone with Three-axis Gyroscope

In recent years, mobile music games have become a popular form of entertainment, but gameplay is limited to the operation on the screen. The use of three-axis gyroscope sensing technology in mobile games is very common, but not in music games. This study proposes a motion-sensing music rhythm game, using three-axis gyroscope sensing to increase the judgement of operation methods and thereby increase the game play. Players must hold the mobile phone with both hands, and as specific beat notes appear in the game interface from the center to the circle edge, they are required to rotate the body of the mobile phone to correspond to the correct area of judgement. The judgement area is responsible for detecting the type of note and determining the direction in which the user should rotate. Through this game, it is expected to bring new gaming experiences to players.
