Abstract
When a movement of a sight point of a virtual camera along a line of sight thereof in a virtual game space is completed, an image representing the virtual game space is taken by the virtual camera and the image is used as a reference image. At the same time, started is a measurement of elapsed time since the generation of the reference image. Next, shifted images are generated based on the reference image, and a shift width representing a space on a screen between the reference image and each of the shifted images is determined in accordance with the elapsed time. An image is generated such that each of the shifted images is displaced from a position of the reference image on the screen by the shift width in a predetermined direction and the generated image is displayed on the screen.
