COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM HAVING OBJECT CONTROL PROGRAM STORED THEREIN AND OBJECT CONTROL APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A computer-readable storage medium having stored therein an object control program executed by a computer in an object control apparatus for controlling an operational object in a virtual space, the operational object operated in accordance with a user'"'"'s input to an input device operable to designate a position on a screen of a display device, the object control program causing the computer to function as:
- position detection means for detecting, based on an output signal from the input device, a position on the screen, which is designated by a user;
area setting means for setting a predetermined area in a position of a predetermined object in the virtual space, which is different from the operational object;
area holding means for holding the predetermined area set by the area setting means until a predetermined hold period has elapsed;
motion control means for detecting, based on an output signal from the input device, a first operation onto the screen and causing the operational object to perform a first motion in accordance with the first operation; and
area determination means for determining whether or not the position detected by the position detection means is present in the predetermined area held by the area holding means,the area holding means holding, even in a case where the predetermined object has moved in the virtual space, the predetermined area at a position where the predetermined object has been present before movement, andthe motion control means prohibiting the operational object from performing the first motion when a determination result made by the area determination means is positive even in a case where the first operation is performed.

Abstract
When a game apparatus detects a double-touch in an area other than an area where an enemy character is displayed, the game apparatus causes a player character to perform a forward roll motion. On the other hand, when the game apparatus detects a touch operation onto the enemy character, a prohibition area is provided at a position of the enemy character. When the game apparatus detects a touch onto the prohibition area, even if the touch operation is the double-touch, the game apparatus prohibits the player character from performing the forward roll motion and causes the player character to attack the enemy character.
