This image processing device for games is a device whereby a prescribed number of models (characters) are setup in virtual space, these models are controlled such that they move in prescribed directions in the virtual space, and images of this virtual space from a virtual viewpoint are displayed on means for display. In order to display the movement of the models that are arranged in virtual space more realistically, in one construction thereof, this device is provided with means for image processing that apply virtual centripetal force to the models. Furthermore, in order to display the movement of the models more realistically and to heighten the dramatic effect, in one construction thereof, this device is equipped with means for processing residual image presentation in order to represent the track of movement of a model as residual images. This means for processing is equipped with means for storage that store without modification motion data of the model prior to the current motion and with means for display control that display this stored data together with the current motion data.

Image processing for a game

Image processing apparatus for a game, method and program for image processing for a game, and computer-readable medium

The image processing system comprises means for preparing a plurality of textures for providing to at least one first texture thereof a background image, in which a movable object is either in a stationary or low-speed state and means for providing to at least one of the remaining second textures a background image of when a movable object is in a low-speed or faster state of travel and for mapping to a screen in accordance with the state of themovable object the second texture in addition to the first texture.
