Abstract
To provide a game device for presenting to a player inputting the amount of operation while utilizing a gauge, the length of a gauge which corresponds to a desired amount of operation. In a game device in which an object placed in a virtual three dimensional space is moved by a distance according to the displayed length of the gauge when the player carries out a predetermined operation, a target position to which the object is going to be moved is obtained (S), a distance between the target movement position and the present position of the object is calculated (S), and the length of the gauge corresponding to the calculated distance L is calculated based on the distance L (S). Then, the target length of the gauge is presented based on the calculated length of the gauge (S).
