Abstract
A first object is moved to a first object coordinate set on the basis of an operation input, and along with the movement, a footprint coordinate set which is a coordinate set based on the first object coordinate set is stored in a time-series order. For a first footprint coordinate set among the stored plurality of footprint coordinate sets, whether or not a path to a second footprint coordinate set which is later in time series than the first footprint coordinate is passable is determined, and if the path is passable, the path is stored in association with the first footprint coordinate set. While a second object is being moved so as to track the stored plurality of footprint coordinate sets, if there is a passable path from a predetermined footprint coordinate set to a predetermined second footprint coordinate set, the second object is moved through the path.
