<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game processing apparatus to compare user actions with target actions to apply the timing offset as relative variation between the detected user actions and the target times. <P>SOLUTION: The game processing apparatus comprises means for indicating successive target actions to be performed by a user, each target action having an associated target time of performance; and scoring logic in which detected user actions are compared with the target actions, the scoring logic comprising: an input arrangement by which user actions may be detected; means for comparing a detected sequence of user actions with a sequence of target actions; and means for detecting a timing offset between the sequence of user actions and a corresponding sequence of target actions; in which the comparison of subsequent user actions with respective target actions is arranged to apply the timing offset as a relative displacement between the detected user actions and the target times. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
