An apparatus and method for providing a touch operation is provided. The apparatus includes a display to display an image, a coordinate input to input a coordinate on a display screen of the display, and a processor to execute a process. The process including determining first input detected as a first specifying operation specifying an area on a display screen. The process also includes determining, when a second input is detected and the first input is continuously detected, the first and the second inputs as a second specifying operation. Also, the process includes determining, when one of the first and the second inputs is discontinued after determining the second specifying operation, a continuing and remaining input as the first specifying operation which treats the continuing and remaining input as the first input.

Information processing apparatus, method for information processing, and game apparatus for performing different operations based on a movement of inputs

A game apparatus with good operability is provided which includes a card reader and a touch panel display and enables a player to operate a card even without looking at the card reader with eyes and to perform an input operation while looking at the touch panel display. The game apparatus includes a touch panel display and a card reader. The card reader includes a panel on which a card used in a game is set. A display support section supports the touch panel display, and a panel support section supports the panel of the card reader. The display support section supports the touch panel display such that at least a portion of the touch panel display is located above at least a portion of the panel in a vertical direction.

Game apparatus

The present invention is to provide a game apparatus with good operability which includes a card reader and a touch panel display and enables a player to operate a card even without looking the card reader with eyes and to perform an input operation while looking the touch panel display. The present invention includes a touch panel display, and a card reader including a panel on which a card used in a game is set. The present invention further includes a display support section which supports the touch panel display, and a panel support section which supports the panel of the card reader. Furthermore, the present invention is characterized in that the display support section supports the touch panel display such that at least a portion of the touch panel display is located above at least a portion of the panel in a vertical direction.

A task of the present invention is to prevent timings of a plurality of objects to arrive at the same destination from becoming uncoordinated and perform efficient computation processing to perform control of moving a plurality of objects in game space to the same destination. A movement control unit of the present invention reads information related to a moving speed of each player object from an object memory unit to perform control of moving a plurality of plurality objects. Further, the movement control unit determines a party moving speed for moving a plurality of player objects as a party based on the read information related to the plurality of moving speeds. Furthermore, the movement control unit performs control of moving a plurality of player objects according to the party moving speed.

Game apparatus and game program

[Problem] The present invention intends to provide a scrolling screen apparatus, a method for scrolling screen, and a game apparatus, which prevent from scrolling display screen by user's misoperation and scroll display screen with intuitive operation. [Method of solution] A control deviceof the present invention scrolls the display screen by the amount of displacement corresponding to the displacement vector of each input coordinate, in a displacement scroll mode between the input of the touch coordinates and the input of the release coordinates to the coordinate input deviceand, meanwhile the control devicescrolls the display screen by the amount of displacement corresponding to the scroll distance which is the sum total of the distances between the touch coordinates, each sampling coordinate and release coordinates read from the coordinate storage device, in an inertia scroll mode after the input of release coordinates. For example, the present invention scrolls the display screen by the amount of displacement corresponding to the sliding distance of the user's finger on the display.
