At a position including coordinates of an input start possible point on a first display, an image indicating the input start possible point is displayed, and at a position including coordinates of an input target point on a second display, an image indicating the input target point is displayed. Then, if a coordinate input to the first display includes an input to a position including the coordinates of the input start possible point, and a coordinate input to the second display includes an input to a position including the coordinates of the input target point, based on trajectories of coordinates of the coordinate inputs to the first display and the second display, a positional relationship between the first display and the second display is determined.

Movement amount identifying unitof exemplary game deviceidentifies, for each of characters, a movement amount, based on which a character is moved on a map, the movement amount being randomly determined. Movement processing unitmoves, for each of the characters, a character on the map based on a movement amount determined for the character. Mini-game executing unitexecutes a mini-game on detecting that a first character included in the characters has reached a predetermined first cell on the map. When doing so, mini-game executing unitstarts the mini-game, the first character joining the mini-game from the start of the mini-game, and causes a second character included in the characters to join the mini-game subsequent to the first character with a delay, the second character having failed to reach the first cell as of the start of the mini-game.

Storage medium, information-processing device, information-processing system, and information-processing method for controlling movement of game characters

A game system includes a parent game device and a plurality of child game devices connected thereto. The parent game device displays a common screen on a CRT, and each of the plurality of child game devices displays an individual screen on an LCD provided for each child device. The parent game device detects a degree of progress of a game of each child game device, selects for each child game device predetermined display information data out of a plurality of display information data on the basis of the detected degree of progress of the game, and creates different parent game device data for each child device on the basis of the display information data. Each child game device generates image data for displaying the individual screen on the LCD on the basis of the parent game device data received from the parent game device.
