Method for selecting a display object, storage medium and program executing apparatus

摘要

A user is allowed to quickly select even a display object located apart from a cursor. A directional line 802 extending from a cursor 801 in a direction specified by a player through a direction specifying operation on an controller 20 is displayed on a display image (Fig. 8B), and a mark 803 is displayed at a position of a firework ball drawn in the vicinity of the directional line (Fig. 8C). When the controller 20 is operated in this state, a selection of the firework ball is accepted; the display color of the firework ball is changed; and the display position of the cursor 801 is moved to the position of the firework ball (Fig. 8D).
