Provided are a program and an information processing apparatus for controlling execution of a ball sports simulation game that can provide for a player sensations similar to those experienced when actually playing the sports. The program executed in the information processing apparatus includes the steps of detecting a ball striking strength and a ball operating angle for hitting a golf ball, which are set by a player using an input device; detecting a ball striking operation value and a ball striking angle for said golf ball at the time of hitting said golf ball, which are set by said player using the input device; performing a correction of a specific distance in accordance with said ball striking operation value at the time of hitting said ball to a traveling distance of said ball corresponding to said detected ball striking strength; and determining a flight mode of said ball based on said ball operating angle and said ball striking angle at the time of hitting said ball, which are set by said player using the input device.

Program for controlling execution of a game, and a game machine for executing the program

A graphical system includes a first, second, and third controllers. The first controller stores a first texture in texture memory. The second controller generates as a second texture, images of environment things except ambient light emitting sources. The second controller also generates as a third texture images of light emitting sources and shadows of certain environmental things. A third controller reads the first, second, and third textures and maps a synthesized texture to an object.
