1. A storage medium having stored there on a game program executed by a computer in a game apparatus which is operated using a pointing device for outputting coordinate information based on a given coordinate system according to an operation of a player, wherein the computer is operable to execute:

  • a selection step for selecting one of a first mode and a second mode based on a selection from the player;

    a reference coordinate setting step for setting reference coordinates in the coordinate system;

    a reference coordinate storage step for storing the reference coordinates;

    a designated coordinate setting step for setting designated coordinates in the coordinate system based on the coordinate information outputted by the pointing device;

    a calculation step for calculating a distance from the reference coordinates to the designated coordinates;

    a first parameter determination step for converting, when the first mode is selected in the selection step, the distance calculated in the calculation step into a predetermined parameter using a first conversion function;

    a second parameter determination step for converting, when the second mode is selected in the selection step, the distance calculated in the calculation step into the parameter using a second conversion function; and

    a game process step for performing a game process, by using one of the parameter determined in the first parameter determination step and the parameter determined in the second parameter determination step, according to a selection in the selection step between the first mode and the second mode.
