Game device changing sound and an image in accordance with a tilt operation
First Claim
1. A game device that causes display means to display a game image including a character operated by a player, and causes sound generation means to output game sound corresponding to the character in accordance with an operation performed by the player, comprising:
- operation means operated by the player;
tilt detection means provided to the operation means for detecting an amount of tilt of the operation means;
game processing means for processing a game in accordance with the operation performed by the player;
image storage means for storing image data used for displaying the character;
sound data storage means for storing sound data of sound to be produced by the character;
image display processing means for reading the image data of the character from the image data storage means and causing the display means to display an image of the character; and
sound output processing means for reading the sound data from the sound data storage means and causing the sound generation means to output sound related to the image of the character while the image of the character is displayed by the image display processing means, wherein the image display processing means and the sound output processing means respond to a change in output of the tilt detection means, which changes in accordance with the tilt operation performed by the player with the operation means, and change the game image displayed by the display means and the game sound output from the sound generation means concurrently and in an associated manner.

Abstract
Character data including an image generation program, image data, a sound program, and sound data, which are previously determined for each of characters used in a game, is stored in a game device 10. A controller 12 having a built-in tilt sensor 12c is connected to the game device, and operated by a player performing a tilt operation. The image generation program and the sound program concurrently process the image data and the sound data, respectively, using the same tilt data output from the tilt sensor. As a result, an image and sound of the character are concurrently changed in accordance with the tilt operation of the controller. Thus, it is possible to provide the game device enhancing the realism and the staging effects of the game.
