To provide a game machine for enabling the game player to direct the virtual camera in their desired direction in a virtual three dimensional space, through a relatively simple operation. The present invention relates to a game machine for showing a picture obtained by viewing a virtual three dimensional space from a virtual camera placed in the virtual three dimensional space. A first virtual camera control unit (60) determines a change direction in which a posture of the virtual camera is changed, based on a state of operation of an operation unit, and changing a posture of the virtual camera such that the virtual camera is directed in a direction displaced from a current direction in the change direction by a predetermined angle. A second virtual camera control unit (62) determines a direction in the virtual three dimensional space based on the state of operation of the operation unit, and changes the posture of the virtual camera such that the virtual camera is directed in the determined direction. A virtual camera control switching unit (64) switches states, according to a predetermined switching operation, between a state in which the first virtual camera control unit (60) controls the virtual camera and a state in which the second virtual camera control unit (62) controls the virtual camera. |
