Game system using touch panel input
First Claim
1. A computer-readable storage medium having a game program stored therein, the game program causing a computer of a game apparatus, which includes a display screen for displaying a game image and a touch panel provided on the display screen, to implement:
- a game image display step of allowing a game image, which contains one or more game character images showing a game character and item images each showing an item, to be displayed on the display screen;
an item determination step of determining an item type by causing a player to select at least one item image displayed on the display screen;
a coordinate detection step of detecting a coordinate value at predetermined time intervals, the coordinate value indicating a position on the touch panel where the player'"'"'s input is provided;
a shape identification step of identifying a graphical shape of an input trajectory represented by a coordinate value group detected by the coordinate detection step; and
a characteristic parameter change step of changing a process detail for changing a characteristic parameter, which indicates a characteristic of the game character, in accordance with a combination of the item type determined by the item determination step and the graphical shape of the input trajectory identified by the shape identification step.

Abstract
On a display screen, a game image, which contains one or more game character images showing a game character and item images each showing an item, is displayed. An item type is determined by causing a player to select at least one item image displayed on the display screen. If the player'"'"'s input is provided to the touch panel, a coordinate value, which indicates a position on the touch panel where the player'"'"'s input is provided, is detected at predetermined time intervals. Further, a graphical shape of an input trajectory represented by a group of detected coordinate values is identified. A process detail for changing a characteristic parameter of the game character is changed in accordance with a combination of the item type and the graphical shape of the input trajectory.
