Game machine, method for checking hit and information storage medium

Abstract

It is an object of the present invention to provide a game apparatus allowing for an accurate determination of a collision of a player's moving object traveling at high speed with an obstacle. A relative coordinate calculation section calculates the relative coordinates of another movable object by using the position of the player's movable object as the origin. A relative speed calculation section calculates the relative speed of the player's moving object and the other movable object. If the relative speed exceeds a predetermined value, a hit check position decision section equally divides a distance traveled by the player's moving object at the relative speed in {fraction (1/60)} seconds into segments, each of the segments not exceeding the length L of the player's moving object, to determine the number of hit checks, and sets one or more hit check positions between the player's moving object and the other movable object on their trajectory. A hit check section performs a hit check between the player's moving object and the other movable object at each of the set intermediate hit check positions.
