Storage medium having game program stored thereon and game apparatus
First Claim
1. A storage medium having stored thereon a game program to be executed by a computer of a game apparatus which displays on a display screen a game image representing at least a portion of a virtual game space, and which is operated using a pointing device for detecting for a position, on the display screen, designated by a player, the game program causing the computer to execute:
- a designated coordinate acquisition step of acquiring designated coordinates, on the display screen, designated by the pointing device, and storing the designated coordinates in a memory;
a target coordinate calculation step of calculating target coordinates, in the virtual game space, corresponding to the designated coordinates, and storing the target coordinates in the memory;
a distance calculation step of calculating a distance from reference coordinates set on the display screen to the designated coordinates;
a speed information calculation step of calculating speed information using the distance; and
an object movement step of moving a predetermined object toward the target coordinates in the virtual game space at a movement speed represented by the speed information.

Abstract
Designated coordinates, on the display screen, designated by the pointing device are acquired, and target coordinates, in the virtual game space, corresponding to the designated coordinates are calculated. A distance from reference coordinates set on the display screen to the designated coordinates is calculated and speed information based on the distance is calculated. A predetermined object is moved toward the target coordinates in the virtual game space at a movement speed represented by the speed information.

9. A game apparatus which displays on a display screen a game image representing at least a portion of a virtual game space, and which is operated using a pointing device for detecting for a position, on the display screen, designated by a player, the game apparatus comprising:
-
storage means;
designated coordinate acquisition means for acquiring designated coordinates, on the display screen, designated by the pointing device, and storing the designated coordinates in the storage means;
target coordinate calculation means for calculating target coordinates, in the virtual game space, corresponding to the designated coordinates, and storing the target coordinates in the storage means;
distance calculation means for calculating a distance from reference coordinates set on the display screen to the designated coordinates;
speed information calculation means for calculating speed information using the distance; and
object movement means for moving a predetermined object toward the target coordinates in the virtual game space at a movement speed represented by the speed information. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
