1. A video game device, comprising:

  • a display section for displaying a game image;

    a position inputting unit for inputting a position on the game image;

    trace storage control programmed logic circuitry for storing, in storage locations, trace data representing a series of input positions inputted by the position inputting unit;

    movement control programmed logic circuitry for storing, in storage locations, position data of a moving character and updating the position data based on a predetermined rule;

    determination programmed logic circuitry for determining whether or not the moving character has contacted a trace based on the trace data and the position data, said trace having the shape of a line drawn displayed on the display section;

    on-trace movement control programmed logic circuitry for updating the position data so that the moving character moves according to the trace based on the trace data when it is determined by the determination programmed logic circuitry that the moving character has contacted the trace; and

    display control programmed logic circuitry for displaying the moving character on the display section based on the position data.
