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

A program for pasting a predetermined image onto a character of a game in a game machine. The program enables a user to create an image consisting of two-dimensional coordinates and to arrange the image created. The program includes the ability to project the image onto a character, at arbitrary positions, in the vicinity of the character in a three-dimensional virtual space, and for pasting on the character a projected image created by projecting the image onto the character from the projection light source.

Program for projecting an image onto a character in a game, game machine incorporating the program, and storage medium having the program stored thereon

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

Portion of an electronic display with a computer generated image

Image processing device and method thereof, game device and method thereof, and recording medium recorded image processing program or game program operated on a computer

A game device is provided, whereby, when a character operated by a player is displayed making an intrusion or entry in a fighting or participatory type of game, the character making the intrusion or entry can be displayed in a manner which avoids creating an unnatural effect. The game device includes control means wherein the control means acquires the co-ordinate position of a character displayed on the display screen receiving an intrusion by another character, when an intrusion request for a character is detected; and causes the character being controlled by the player to be displayed as making an appearance as an intruding character from a specific location corresponding to a co-ordinate position having a particular relationship with respect to the co-ordinate position of the character receiving the intrusion, from amongst the stored and held plurality of specific locations.
