1. A game apparatus for performing a game process, depending on a motion of an input device itself, comprising:

  • an output data obtaining programmed logic circuitry for obtaining first output data and second output data which change, depending on the motion of the input device itself;

    a movement coordinate determining programmed logic circuitry for determining whether or not the first output data is larger than or equal to a first threshold value, and when the first output data is larger than or equal to the first threshold value, determining a coordinate point to which an object is next moved in a predetermined change amount along a predetermined path in a virtual game space, and when the first output data is smaller than the first threshold value, determining a coordinate point to which the object is next moved along the predetermined path in the virtual game space, using the first output data and the second output data;

    an object moving programmed logic circuitry for moving the object to the determined movement coordinate point in the virtual game space; and

    a display control programmed logic circuitry for displaying the virtual game space on a display device, depending on a result of the object moving programmed logic circuitry.
