The communication system comprises a first access processing, which accesses a server via a network, receives program information files transmitted from said server, and records them on hard disk, a program production and output that outputs on a monitor a program that it produces by information of received program information files and information recorded on, for example, an optical disk, a system for contributed text editing, which edits, as contributed text, messages input through a controller, a second access processing, which accesses the server at least through the network and transmits contributed texts to said server and an image display, which outputs to the monitor the image data drawn to image memory and displays said image on the screen of said monitor.

According to functions (the first to the third target position setup functions, and) which set up as a target position, a position of reference image, a position decided by orientations of multiple cards, and a position of a character image being a counterpart selected in combined actions display program, and functions to display a scene where the character image moves from above the identification information to the target position (action data string searching function, movement posture setup function, 3D image setup function, image drawing function, image display setup function, table rewriting function, distance calculating function, repetitive function), it is possible to expand a range of card game used to be played only in a real space up to a virtual space, and to offer a new game which merges the card game and video game.

According to a functionwhich stores in the first memory for difference, pickup image data from CCD camerabased on a predetermined timing, a functionwhich stores in the second memory for difference, pickup image data from CCD camerabased on another timing, a functionwhich obtains a difference between the pickup image data stored in the first memory for differenceand the pickup image data stored in the second memory for difference, a functionfor specifying an image having moved based on the data as a difference, a functionwhich determines whether or not the image having moved is touching the character image, and a functionwhich increases a value of parameters such as experiential value, physical energy, and offensive power, when it is determined that the image having moved comes into contact with the character image, it is possible to expand a range of card game used to be played only in a real space up to a virtual space, and offer a new game which merges the card game and video game.

A method is disclosed for controlling the movement of a position indicating item displayed on a screen in accordance with an output signal of control means including a pressure-sensitive resistor which outputs a signal whose level varies depending upon a pressing force applied to an operating element. The method includes a signal level detection step for detecting the signal level of the signal output by the control means; a moving speed setting step for setting the moving speed of the position indicating item displayed on the screen in accordance with the signal level detected in the signal level detection step; and an item moving step for moving the position indicating item at the moving speed set in the moving speed setting step.

Method of controlling the movement of a position indicating item, storage medium on which a program implementing said method is stored, and electronic device
