Abstract
A ball game is provided, wherein the place to which the ball is moved can be input and designated according to the most suitable timing while balancing the movement of displayed players and the ease of the operation by the user. A button operation by the user can be accepted before the fielder receives the ball and, in the case that there is a button operation, the location corresponding to the operated button is judged. Then, the motion of the catching and the throwing of the ball by the fielder is judged so as to use the motion in order to process the motion before the fielder catches the ball. Finally, the display is shifted to the movement of the throwing the ball in the direction of the designated location.
