An electronic toy including a sensor for detecting movement, a reader for detecting markers in a proximity of the electronic toy, a user-interface for providing a user-perceptible output, and a processing unit. The processing unit is configured to control the user-interface responsive to a detected movement and a detected marker, enter an active play state responsive to a first trigger event representative of a start of a play activity, process information about movements detected by the sensor while the processing unit is in the active play state and information about markers detected by the reader while the processing unit is in the active play state to compute a result score associated with the play activity, control the user-interface to provide a user-perceptible output based on the computed result score, and exit the active play state responsive to a second trigger event representative of an end of a play activity.

Interactive toy

A non-limiting example game apparatus includes a display device, and a game screen is displayed on the display device. For example, a player character, an enemy character, a background object, etc. are displayed in the game screen. If a throw mode is set, a target cursor is moved on a predetermined plane in a virtual space based on an operation of a player, thereby to designate a target object with which a throwing object is made to be collided. When the target object is designated, a route object is displayed on a line segment that connects a throw starting point and a target point that is the designated position on the target object, and a shadow of the route object is displayed.
