Storage medium having game program stored thereon, game apparatus and input device

摘要

Reference coordinates are set for controlling a game based on coordinate information which is outputted when a state that no coordinate information is outputted from a pointing device is shifted to a state that coordinate information is outputted, and designated coordinates are set based on the coordinate information and the game is controlled based on at least one of an input direction which is a direction from the reference coordinates to the designated coordinates and an input distance which is a distance between the reference coordinates and the designated coordinates.

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a touchscreen display; a memory; and processing circuitry in communication with the touchscreen display and the memory, the processing circuitry being configured to generate images for a video game for display on the touchscreen display and, while the images for the video game are displayed on the touchscreen display, to at least: (A) set reference coordinates in accordance with touch point coordinates of a user-selected initial touch point on the touchscreen display, and store the reference coordinates in the memory, and (B) during a continuous user touch operation from a touch-on at the initial touch point on the touchscreen display to a touch-off at another touch point on the touchscreen display
(i) set respective designated coordinates in accordance with touch point coordinates of a current touch point on the touchscreen display;(ii) determine at least one of a distance between the reference coordinates stored in the memory and the respective designated coordinates and a direction from the reference coordinates stored in the memory to the respective designated coordinates;(iii) generate an input for the video game based on the determining; and(iv) repeat (i) through (iii), wherein the processing circuitry is configured to display, on the touchscreen display, indicia based on the reference coordinates.
