Abstract
An example of an information processing apparatus repeatedly acquires input positions detected by a pointing device. The information processing apparatus sets a reference position, based on an input position at which an input to the pointing device is started. The information processing apparatus executes a first movement process of causing a first object to move in a virtual game space, based on the reference position, and an input position of an input which is continuously performed from start of the input to the pointing device. The information processing apparatus executes a first process on a second object which is the same as or different from the first object, in a case where the input position of the input, which is continuously performed from start of the input to the pointing device, satisfies a predetermined condition regarding the relationship between the input position and the reference position.
