Claim 22:
23. A sport game processing method executed by a computer that controls an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:
acquiring, on the basis of operation data transmitted from an operation device including a first direction input device and a first inertial sensor, first direction data based on an output of the first direction input device and first inertial data based on an output of the first inertial sensor;
moving a player character object in a virtual space on the basis of the first direction data;
controlling a position of a virtual camera in the virtual space on the basis of a position of the player character object;
determining, on the basis of the first inertial data, a swing direction in which the operation device has been swung;
causing the player character object to perform a swing action of swinging in a direction according to the determined swing direction;
causing the moving object to move in the virtual space on the basis of collision determination between the swing action and the moving object, thereby controlling a sport game using the moving object; and
setting a direction of the virtual camera on the basis of a position of the moving object, and arranging the virtual camera at a position such that the player character object is included in a field of view of the virtual camera.
