STORAGE MEDIUM HAVING INPUT PROCESSING PROGRAM STORED THEREON AND INPUT PROCESSING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon an input processing program executed by a computer in an input processing device for displaying a virtual 3-dimensional space, including a display screen and a pointing device for inputting corresponding 2-dimensional coordinates on the display screen, the input processing program causing the computer to execute:
- a virtual plane setting step for setting a virtual plane in the virtual 3-dimensional space;
a 2-dimensional coordinate detection step for detecting the 2-dimensional coordinates inputted from the pointing device;
an on-virtual plane moving step for moving a predetermined object on the virtual plane based on the 2-dimensional coordinates detected in the 2-dimensional coordinate detection step;
an in-3-dimensional-space moving step for moving the object in the virtual 3-dimensional space out of the virtual plane, according to a predetermined input condition, anda display control step for displaying, on the display screen, the object which is moved in the on-virtual plane moving step and the in-3-dimensional-space moving step and represented in the virtual 3-dimensional space.
