A non-limiting example game system comprises a processor incorporated in a main body apparatus, and the processor displays, in a battle scene, a battle screen including a player character, an enemy character and a board face object on a display. The board face object having a circular board face that is formed with multiple partial objects that are sectioned by multiple concentric circles and multiple lines extended radially. A player makes the multiple partial objects move in a circumferential direction or a radial direction so as to change arrangement of multiple enemy characters placed on the multiple partial objects, thereby causing the player character to perform an attack.

The game processor consumes paints of a plurality of colors to execute an attack in the game, reflects an effect of the attack in the game, and decreases possession paints according to consumption of the paints. The game processor consumes the paints of the plurality of colors according to consumption ratios determined for the attack to be executed and executes the attack. When at least one of the parameters necessary for the action to be executed is insufficient, the game processor changes the consumption ratios of the paints of the plurality of colors and executes the action. When the consumption ratios change, the game processor generates a game screen different from a game screen when the consumption ratios do not change. When the consumption ratios change, the game processor reflects an effect different from an effect when the consumption ratios do not change in the game.

A non-limiting example game apparatus includes a CPU, and the CPU performs non-contact communication with an IC tag that is incorporated in a figure by using a non-contact communication module. During playing a course game, if a player instructs transformation, a player character is transformed into another character after attesting the figure. Furthermore, if the player instructs writing of a score when the course game is finished, the score is written in the IC tag after attesting the figure. Furthermore, if the player instructs to acquire a predetermined item, after attesting the figure, the predetermined item is acquired by using virtual money. As a level is raised, for example, the number of transformable times is increased, and a kind of acquirable predetermined item is increased.

When an input indicating a position on a screen has been provided by a pointing device, coordinate values indicating the position are set as coordinate values of a starting point position. Subsequently, it is determined whether or not a state where the position on the screen is being continuously indicated by the pointing device has changed to a non-indicative state where the position on the screen is not indicated by the pointing device. As a result, when the state has changed to the non-indicative state, the coordinate values output from the pointing device before the change to the non-indicative state are set as coordinate values of an end point position, and a direction from the starting point position to the end point position is specified. Then, a virtual object is caused to move such that a moving direction of the virtual object is a direction different from the specified direction.

When a game is started, at least two types of pieces obtained based on random extraction from prepared types of pieces are set in advance for each player as his/her own assigned pieces (assigned objects). When the game ends as a prescribed condition is satisfied, an evaluation value of each player is calculated based on a cumulative value at that time point of the assigned pieces set for that player. The assigned piece defines the type of the piece to be evaluated for each player. Here, as a difference between a cumulative value of one assigned piece and a cumulative value of the other assigned piece is greater, a higher evaluation value is calculated. Typically, the difference (absolute value) between the cumulative values of the respective assigned pieces is calculated as the evaluation value.

Displayed on a first LCDare a 'fire' planet, a 'wood' planet; an &#x201c;earth&#x201d; planet, a &#x201c;wind&#x201d; planetand a &#x201c;water&#x201d; planet, each traveling along an orbit by a unique orbital period. While an attribute symbol is traveling through an active zone that is associated with the attribute symbol, the status of the attribute represented by the attribute symbol is active. An attribute being active affects the space attribute, which is the attribute of a particular space in the game world. The space attribute affects the ability parameters of characters of the same attribute. Thus, it is possible to enrich the strategic aspect of a video game using characters' attributes.

A power or life meter is displayed in a video game. Firing a weapon depletes the indicated power. Meanwhile, the power is recharged at a predetermined rate. If the indicated power exceeds capacity, the game character is adversely impacted. If the indicated power is completely depleted, the game character loses a benefit.
