Computer-readable storage medium having information processing program stored therein, information processing apparatus, information processing method, and information processing system for conducting communication between information processing apparatuses and control of execution of predetermined processing based on the communication result

Abstract

Object data that can be used in a predetermined application is previously stored in the information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus makes communication with another unspecified information processing apparatus that is within a predetermined range. When object data that can be used in the predetermined application is received by the communication, an object based on the object data having been received is caused to appear in a virtual space, and when object data that can be used in the predetermined application is not received by the communication an object based on the previously stored object data is caused to appear in the virtual space.
