PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game device equipped with a user interface which has an easily understandable operation method, and which can appropriately reflect operation skill in the control of the movement direction of an object.SOLUTION: When a user touches a card 110As and executes a pull-back operation changing the operation position, a reference direction &phgr; being parallel and in the reverse direction to the direction of the pull-back operation is detected. During the pull-back operation, a pendulum 123 is displayed which swings within the same range 127 on both sides of a border-forming central line Le, which is parallel to the reference direction. When, following on from the pull-back operation, the user has executed a trigger operation, the card 110As is fired to the opposite side to the pull-back operation. The reference direction during the trigger operation and the offset amount &Dgr;&phgr; of the pendulum 123 relative to the reference direction are set as initial conditions, and the movement direction of the card 110As is controlled on the basis of the initial conditions such that the larger the offset amount &Dgr;&phgr;, the greater the offset of the movement direction of the card 110As, relative to the reference direction, after the trigger operation. |
