| 20100304858 | COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM HAVING GAME PROGRAM STORED THEREIN AND GAME APPARATUS - Reference point calculation means calculates a reference point with respect to a reference axis direction, the reference point being a center position based on positions of a plurality of objects and the reference axis direction being a predetermined axis direction of a display area. First determination means determines whether or not a position of the reference point is a position within a first distance from an end of the display area with respect to the reference axis direction. When the first determination means determines that the position of the reference point is within the first distance from the end of the display area, screen control means scrolls, along the reference axis direction, a display content of a virtual space displayed in the display area. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20100304870 | STORAGE MEDIUM STORING GAME PROGRAM AND GAME APPARATUS - A computer readable storage medium storing a game program and a game apparatus capable of preventing a game process which is performed, depending on a result of contact determination with respect to objects from being illogical for a player are provided. In the game apparatus, a contact determination section repeatedly determines whether a player object contacts a block. The results of determination are successively stored into a determination result storing section. A first processing section permits the player object to jump when, of the results of determination stored in the determination result storing section, at least one result of determination including a result of determination a predetermined period of time before indicates that the player object contacts the block. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20110111851 | COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM HAVING GAME PROGRAM STORED THEREON, GAME APPARATUS, AND GAME CONTROL METHOD - Manual operation means controls a motion of an operation target character in accordance with operation data outputted from an input device. Automatic motion control means controls the motion of the operation target character in accordance with a series of pieces of operation data which are prepared in advance. Game control means performs a first process when a first condition is satisfied as a result of control of the motion of the operation target character by the manual operation means only in a predetermined interval in a game in progress, performs a second process which is different from the first process when a second condition is satisfied, and executes the first when the control of the motion is performed by the automatic motion control means in at least a part of the interval regardless of whichever condition is satisfied. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20120077585 | VIDEO GAME SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Example systems and methods relate to a multi-player video game in which multiple players each supply inputs to a respective input device to control a corresponding game character in a scrolling-type game world displayed on a display screen. A first predetermined input supplied by one of the players to the respective input device protects the one player's game character from harm in the game world and the protected game character moves based on the scrolling/non-scrolling state of the game world in accordance with the movement of one or more unprotected characters. The protecting of the one player's game character is stopped in response to one or more protecting stopping conditions, whereby the game character is again controllable by the one player in response to inputs to the respective input device. | 03-29-2012 |
