PROGRAM FOR GAME APPARATUS, GAME APPARATUS, AND RECORDING MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM FOR GAME APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A program for a game apparatus comprising moving-object operating means through which a player operates a moving object, image-information generating means for generating image information on images showing a plurality of moving objects including the moving object operated by the player in a virtual space, and image-information outputting means for outputting the image information generated by the image-information generating means, the program causing a computer in the image-information generating means to perform steps of:
- causing land-configuration information generating means of said image-information generating means to generate land-configuration information regarding said virtual space;
causing movement-information monitoring means of said image-information generating means to monitor movement information regarding said plurality of moving objects at predetermined time-intervals;
causing special-area object producing means of said image-information generating means to delimit a special area behind said moving object to produce a special area object having collision detection information when results of monitoring through the movement-information monitoring means meet predetermined requirements;
causing said image-information outputting means to display said special area object in such a manner as to be viewable for the player; and
allowing another moving object to ride in said special area produced by the moving object meeting said predetermined requirements in a manner of riding on waves.

Abstract
An object is to provide a program for a game apparatus for making a plurality of moving objects including a moving object operated by a player to compete in virtual space against each other, in which players are capable of fully using the stage effects specific to a virtual game to enjoy a heated racing game even when they vary in skill. In a program for a game apparatus comprising moving-object operating means, image-information generating means, and image-information outputting means, the program causes a computer to perform a step of producing land-configuration information, a step of monitoring movement information regarding a plurality of moving objects, a step of producing a special area object when results of monitoring meet predetermined requirements, a step of displaying the special area object in such a manner as to be viewable for the player, and a step of allowing another moving object to ride therein.

7. A game apparatus comprising moving-object operating means through which a player operates a moving object, image-information generating means for generating image information on images showing a plurality of moving objects including the moving object operated by the player in a virtual space, and image displaying means for displaying on a screen the image information generated by the image-information generating means, wherein said image-information generating means of said same apparatus comprises:
-
land-configuration information generating means for generating land-configuration information regarding said virtual space; movement-information monitoring means for monitoring movement information of said plurality of moving objects at predetermined time-intervals; and special-area object producing means for delimiting a special area behind said moving object to produce an object having collision detection information when results of monitoring through the movement-information monitoring means meet predetermined requirements, wherein said special area object is displayed by said image displaying means in such a manner as to be viewable for the player, and another moving object can ride in said special area produced by the moving object meeting the predetermined requirements in a manner of riding on waves. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
