An exemplary information-processing system includes: an execution unit configured to execute an application program; a prompting unit configured to prompt a user to post to a service for sharing posted information, in response to a predetermined condition being satisfied a predetermined number of times in the application program executed by the execution unit; and a posting unit configured to post posted information corresponding to the predetermined condition to the service in accordance with a user input with respect to the prompting unit.

Information-processing system, information-processing apparatus, information-processing method, and program

A video game device calculates a difference vector extending from a predetermined reference position on the screen to an input position. Moreover, the video game device calculates movement parameter data used for moving, with respect to a fixed point in the virtual space uniquely determined based on a position of the controlled object, the point of sight to a position that is determined by a direction in the virtual space based on a direction of the difference vector and a distance in the virtual space based on a magnitude of the difference vector. The point of sight is moved based on the movement parameter data. The video game device produces an image based on a virtual camera, which has been moved according to the movement of the point of sight, and displays the image on the screen of a display device.

A non-limiting example game system includes an information processing apparatus that functions as a game apparatus to which a terminal device and a television are connected. A game screen is displayed on the television and an item screen is displayed on an LCD of the terminal device, for example. If a player touches-on an item in the item screen and drags the item onto an assigning image, and then, performs a touch-off, the item is assigned to an operating button corresponding to the assigning image. When an item is touched-on, images corresponding to the item and the assigning image are displayed on the game screen in a superposed manner.

Information processing apparatus, information processing system, storage medium and information processing method

A game apparatus displays game space on a display means, and the game space includes a first area and a second area which interrupts continuity of a movement of an object in the first area. A user sets a moving route within the game space by means of a touch pen. The collision, that is, the object moves along the route. Assuming that the object moves to a next point position on the route, when the next point position where the object will enter the second area is set, the computer corrects the next point position to a target position within the first area, and then moves the object thereto.

An information processing apparatus includes a touch panel, for example, set on a display screen. For example, the display screen displays a three-dimensional game screen showing a relatively narrower range of a virtual three-dimensional game world and a two-dimensional map screen showing a relatively wider range of the virtual three-dimensional game world simultaneously or through change. When an object existing in the virtual three-dimensional game world is moved, an input trace is obtained from an input to the map screen by utilizing the touch panel. The object is moved along the obtained input trace, and a scene in which the object is moving is displayed on the three-dimensional game screen.

Storage medium storing object movement controlling program and information processing apparatus

A communication game system includes a plurality of game apparatuses which can be communicated via a network and functions as a parent machine and as a child machine, for example. In the child machine, a moving track of an object to be operated is obtained in response to an input with a pointing device by a player, and transmitted to the parent machine. In the parent machine, a movement of the object is controlled by the moving track, and drawing information to draw a virtual game space including the moved object is transmitted to the child machine. In the child machine, a game screen including the object to be operated is generated and displayed on the basis of the received drawing information.

Communication game system

A non-limiting example game system includes a game apparatus to which a television functioning as a stationary-type display device is connected. The game apparatus performs game processing basically according to operation data from a controller. An input terminal device functioning as a portable-type display device is kept at a user's hand, for example. A course selecting screen is displayed on a screen of the television and an information presenting screen corresponding to the course selecting screen is displayed on a screen of the input terminal device. In the information presenting screen, a comment input by another user is displayed near a course mark, and a designating object which designates the presence of the comment is displayed at a corresponding position in the course selecting screen.

A user can move the position of a pan flute in a horizontal direction on a screen by sliding a touch position in the horizontal direction on the screen while touching a touch panel with a stick. Moreover, when the user blows on a microphone hole, a musical sound of a pitch corresponding to a pipe of the pan flute which is displayed in an overlapping manner with a valid position display image at this time is outputted via a sound hole.

Computer-readable storage medium having stored therein musical sound generation program, and musical sound generation apparatus

A game apparatus includes an input device with which it is possible to specify a position on a screen of a display device. The game apparatus displays a game image representing a virtual game space on the display device. The movement of a first object in the game image is controlled based on an input made on the game image by using the input device. The game apparatus detects a path inputted on the game image by using the input device. The game apparatus moves a second object in the game image along the path.

Storage medium having game program stored therein and game apparatus

A game apparatus detects a path inputted by a player, and moves an object placed in a virtual game space along the path. Moreover, the game apparatus controls the object, which is moving along the path, to perform a predetermined action, and determines a return position when the predetermined action is finished. The return position is a position at which the object having finished the predetermined action returns to the path, and is determined from among positions along the path. The game apparatus resumes the movement of the object along the path after returning the object, having finished the predetermined action, to the return position.
