StepMania is a free, open source simulator of Konami's popular arcade and console video game series, Dance Dance Revolution.
You can use your keyboard to play StepMania. It is also possible to play using a PlayStation-compatible controller or dance mat, using a specialized adapter that connects to a computer's USB or PS/2 keyboard port. StepMania has also been ported to the Xbox; it requires a modified Xbox in order to run. This version of StepMania is considered illegal because it was compiled using the XDK.
The concept is simple: as arrows rise to the top of the screen and pass a certain point, press the corresponding arrow on the keyboard/controller/dancemat. You are scored based upon how close your arrow presses are to the right moment. Sometimes this is easier said than done and takes some practice. See Dance Dance Revolution and Pump it Up for a more in-depth description.
