1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon an input processing program to be executed by a computer in an input processing device including a display screen and a pointing device that inputs corresponding coordinates on the display screen, the input processing program causing the computer to execute:

  • a display control step that displays a virtual 3-dimensional space on the display screen;

    an input coordinate detection step that detects input coordinates from the pointing device;

    an on-virtual-plane moving step that, when inputting from the pointing device is continuously performed, moves an object on a predetermined virtual plane based on the input coordinates detected in the input coordinate detection step; and

    an in 3-dimensional-space moving step that, when a state where inputting from the pointing device is continuously performed shifts to a state where inputting from the pointing device is not performed, causes the object to leave the virtual plane and to move in the virtual 3-dimensional space,wherein the in 3-dimensional-space moving step determines, based on the detected input coordinates, an initial setting which is used to calculate the movement of the object in the virtual 3-dimensional space.
