Abstract
A video game program and a video game device are disclosed. If there is no move instruction from the player through a touch panel, the game image displayed on the display screen is scrolled if the position indicated by an input position from the touch panel is included within a first peripheral area along the periphery of the display screen. If there is a move instruction from the player through the touch panel, the game image displayed on the display screen is scrolled if the position indicated by the input position from the touch panel is included within a second peripheral area, larger than the first peripheral area, along the periphery of the display screen. Thus, in a video game device using a touch panel, an appropriate scroll process according to the status of the game is established, thereby improving the operability of the device.
