Abstract
When a player selects an object group displayed on a screen, a related selected area display indicating that the object group is in a selected state is displayed. While the display remains, the player performs an input by drawing a track which intersects the related selected area using a stick or the like. When it is determined that the inputted track and the related selected area intersect, the selected state is released.
