An exemplary embodiment sets the game background image with surface objects (bricks, coins, item closed box baffles, monsters, and the like) arranged therein in the middle of the tennis court within a virtual space for executing a tennis game containing the motion of hitting the tennis ball according to an operation by the player, and scrolls the surface objects arranged in the game background image. Then, there is provided an effect corresponding to the type of the surface object (benefit object, the hit map switching object, scoring object, or the like) arranged in a position of the game background image, where the tennis ball shot in response to a player-operation has reached.

Game system, game control method, game device, and computer-readable storage medium

A game system moves a player character in a virtual game space in accordance with an operation by a player. Further, the player character's moving amount per predetermined unit time is detected at each predetermined time interval. A predetermined parameter (gage amount) value is calculated at each predetermined time interval based on the moving amount detected at each predetermined time interval. Also, the game system adds the predetermined parameter value calculated at each predetermined time interval for accumulation. In response to a predetermined operation performed by the player, the game system causes the player character to perform a predetermined motion (e.g., special shot) on a condition such that a value obtained as a result of the addition reaches a predetermined value.

Game system and storage medium for storing game program

A game device includes: a plurality of displays for displaying an object of an operation target for each of operators; a GUI control unit arranged in any one of the screens of the displays for controlling a GUI for each target object correlated to each of the operators; an object control unit for changing the 3D space according to the operation of the GUI; and a marking process unit for displaying the coordinate position of a predetermined object other than the target object together the target object in the screen as markings to moving on a virtual plane in the 3D space according to control of the object control unit.

Game device, object display method in game device, and display program

An estimated trajectory, an estimated ball landing point, and an estimated run rangeare displayed in a game image. The estimated ball landing pointis displayed as, for example, a star mark, in a game space of the game imagewhich corresponds to a terminal coordinate point on the estimated trajectory. The estimated trajectoryis obtained for a shot at a power indicated by a power target value set by the player, and is displayed so as to extend between a current balland the estimated ball landing pointbased on estimated trajectory data. The estimated run rangeis displayed in the game space of the game imagebased on estimated run range data, so as to have a shape of a rectangular area, which is divided into a plurality of equal-sized mesh parts, in accordance with geographic undulations.

Game apparatus and recording medium having game program recorded therein

An image processing apparatus includes a CPU, and the CPU renders a golf course in a 3-dimension virtual space in conjunction with a GPU. A grid for representing an inclination and undulations of a configuration of the golf course is also rendered. Specifically, a grid line is constructed by a series of grid line elements of plural number. With respect to each of sections of the grid, the number of the grid line elements is changed depending upon an inclination of each section, and rendering is performed as if the grid line itself flows throughout the grid at a constant speed.
