Game apparatus utilizing touch panel and storage medium storing game program
First Claim
1. A game apparatus utilizing touch panel, comprising:
- a display means for displaying a game space including a character to be operated by a player;
a touch panel being operated by said player for allowing simultaneous detection of at least two pointing positions;
a coordinates detecting means for detecting coordinates values of the two pointing positions detected according to an operation of said touch panel by said player;
a positional relationship calculating means for calculating at least one of a distance between said two points detected by said coordinates detecting means and an angle of a line connecting said two points, a movement parameter setting means for setting a movement parameter of said character on the basis of at least one of the distance and angle calculated by said positional relationship calculating means;
a character controlling means for controlling a movement of said character on the basis of the movement parameter set by said movement parameter setting means.

Abstract
A game apparatus includes a touch panel on which at least two pointing positions are simultaneously detectable. In response to an operation of the touch panel by a player, coordinates values of the detected two points are detected, and at least one of a distance between the two points and an angle of the line connecting the two points is calculated. Furthermore, change amounts of the distance and angle between the two points are calculated. A movement parameter such as a travel speed and a turning angle is set on the basis of at least one of the calculated distance and angle, and the movement of the character such as travel and turning is controlled on the basis of the movement parameter. In addition, when a pointing state of the two points is changed, the movement parameter is changed on the basis of a change amount, and the movement of the character is controlled on the basis of the movement parameter.

11. A storage medium storing a game program for controlling a character in a game apparatus utilizing touch panel that is provided with a display means for displaying a game space including said character to be operated by a player, and a touch panel to be operated by said player for allowing simultaneous detection of at least two pointing positions, wherein said game program causes a processor of said game apparatus to execute following steps of:
-
a coordinates detecting step for detecting coordinates values of the two pointing positions detected according to an operation of said touch panel by said player;
a positional relationship calculating step for calculating at least one of a distance between said two points detected by said coordinates detecting step and an angle of a line connecting said two points, a movement parameter setting step for setting a movement parameter of said character on the basis of at least one of the distance and angle calculated by said positional relationship calculating step, and a character controlling step for controlling a movement of said character on the basis of the movement parameter set by said movement parameter setting step. - View Dependent Claims (12)
