To provide an information processing device capable of improving operability in an information processing device in which when a position in any of a plurality of determination areas for a plurality of selected image candidates is designated by a user, a selected image candidate corresponding to the determination area is designated as a selected image. A designated position obtaining unit () obtains a position designated by a user. A designation unit (), when the position obtained by the designated position obtaining unit () is included in a determination area for a selected image candidate, designates the selected image candidate as a selected image. When any of the plurality of selected image candidates is designated as a selected image, a determination area change unit () changes the determination area for another selected image candidate among the plurality of selected image candidates, based on the positional relationship between the other selected image candidate or the determination area for the other selected image candidate and the selected image or the determination area for the selected image.

Information processing device that changes a determination area of an image candidate based on positional relationships between image candidates, control method for information processing device, program, and information storage medium

To provide a game device capable of allowing a user, when selecting any selected image candidate, to experience a real feeling of the relationship with another selected image candidate. A determination unit () determines whether or not the designated area designated by a user is included in the determination area for a selected image candidate. When the designated area is included in the determination area, the designation unit () designates the selected image candidate corresponding to the determination area as a selected image. A determination area control unit () changes the size of a determination area for another selection candidate image, based on a parameter stored so as to be correlated to a combination of the selected image candidate designated as a selected image and the other selected image candidate. A designated area control unit () changes the size of the designated area, based on a parameter stored so as to be correlated to a combination of the selected image candidate designated as the selected image and a selected image candidate located closest to the designated area.

Game device, method for controlling game device, program, and information storage medium

In a game device (), a memory unit () stores a position of a player character, a position of an enemy character, an elapsed time up to a present time after the enemy character has appeared, and candidates of a position where a new enemy character is to appear. A measuring unit () measures an elapsed time up to a present time after the enemy character has appeared, and stores the measured elapsed time in the memory unit (). A calculating unit () calculates a reference distance which becomes a determination criterion for a position where a new enemy character appears based on the stored elapsed time. The reference distance monotonically increases relative to the increasing of the elapsed time. An appearance setting unit () selects a candidate having a distance to the player character closest to the reference distance among the candidates stored in the memory unit (), and causes a new enemy character to appear at the selected candidate position.
