Abstract
A plane defining unit () defines a horizontal plane in the field of view, within whose bounds an own character exists. A block division unit () divides the defined plane into a plurality of blocks. An aiming position selecting unit () randomly selects a predetermined number of aiming positions, which are arbitrary positions in each of the blocks thus divided. An reaching determining unit () determines whether a bullet can reach each of the target positions thus selected, based on a positional relationship with an opponent character, who conducts shooting, and the like. An aiming position deciding unit () randomly decides one target position from among the target positions determined to be reachable. An image generating unit () generates a game image including the own character attacked by a bullet shoot at the decided target position.
