During execution of a game, first-type processing is executed if it is determined that an input device has been moved in a first direction at a timing when a predetermined condition is satisfied during execution of the game, on the basis of operation data including at least data based on an output of an inertial sensor. In a case where, on the basis of the operation data, it is determined that the input device has been moved in a second direction at a timing when the predetermined condition is satisfied, if it is further determined that the input device has been moved in the first direction during a predetermined suspension period, the first-type processing is executed. If it is determined that the input device has not been moved in the first direction during the predetermined suspension period, second-type processing is executed after the predetermined suspension period has elapsed.

Information processing system, computer-readable non-transitory storage medium having information processing program stored therein, information processing apparatus, and information processing method

The position of an opponent character is controlled on the basis of position data sequentially received from an opponent apparatus. The position of the opponent character is adjusted on the basis of the position data, the movement direction of a movement object, and a delay time in communication with an own apparatus. The opponent character is caused to perform an action on the movement object, on the basis of data received from the opponent apparatus.

Using output of an inertial sensor, whether an operation device is in a swing state of being swung is determined. Whether the operation device is rotated in a first direction about a predetermined axis of the inertial sensor or a second direction opposite to the first direction, is determined. Whether the operation device is swung in an upward direction or a downward direction is determined. First processing is executed in at least either a case where the operation device is rotated in the first direction about the predetermined axis or a case where the operation device is swung in the upward direction, during the swing state. Second processing is executed in at least either a case where the operation device is rotated in the second direction about the predetermined axis or a case where the operation device is swung in the downward direction, during the swing state.

Controlling game processing using determined rotational direction in combination with determined up/down direction

In a virtual space of an own apparatus, the movement speed of a movement object is reduced on the basis of a reduction value according to a communication delay time with respect to an opponent apparatus. The reduction value is adjusted such that the movement speed of the movement object is reduced in accordance with the time having elapsed from start of movement of the movement object. The opponent character object is caused to perform an action on the movement object, on the basis of data received from the opponent apparatus.

A player character is caused to perform an action in accordance with an input. Action points that allow the player character to perform an action in a virtual world during a player turn are set, and a point is subtracted from the action points in accordance with the action of the player character during the player turn. The player turn is ended, and an opponent turn is started. Then, in causing the player character to perform an action, if the action points remain at a time of the end of the player turn, the player character is caused to automatically perform an action on a non-player character in the opponent turn.

A first player character or a second player character is caused to perform an action by operating the first player character or the second player character in accordance with an input, and a player character as an action target for performing an action corresponding to the input is switched. Further, a position and/or a direction of a virtual camera are set in accordance with a position and/or a direction, in a virtual world, of the player character set as the action target, and the position and/or the direction of the virtual camera are changed in accordance with the action of the player character. An image of the virtual world viewed from the virtual camera set for the player character as the action target is displayed on a display apparatus. Then, the action target can be switched to the second player character as during the operation on the first player character as the action target in the same player turn.

First, movement information that allows calculation of a movement of a first input device is sequentially obtained. During a time period in which at least one operation key is in a predetermined input state, a display image is enlarged or reduced in accordance with a change of the movement information. When it is determined that the predetermined input state is canceled, the enlarged or reduced display image is caused to return to its original magnification and an action of at least one first object in the display image is controlled.

Storage medium, information processing system, and information processing method for adjusting images based on movement information

Based on operation information obtained from an operating device for pointing to a position on a screen of a display device, a pointing position to which the operating device points is repeatedly calculated. Next, a change amount of the pointing position is calculated. Then, whether or not the change amount of the pointing position meets a first condition is determined. As a result, when it is determined that the change amount of the pointing position meets the first condition, predetermined processing is executed for the pointing position or a position specified based on the pointing position.

Computer-readable storage medium having stored game program therein, and game apparatus

First, based on the position of a target in a taken image included in imaging information, a pointing position which an operating device points to is calculated. Next, a change amount of the pointing position within a predetermined time is calculated. Then, whether or not the change amount of the pointing position satisfies a first condition is determined. As a result, when it is determined that the change amount of the pointing position satisfies the first condition, predetermined processing is executed in which the pointing position within the predetermined time or a position calculated based on pointing positions within the predetermined time is set as a start point.
