Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon an input processing program to be executed by a computer in an input processing device including a display screen and a pointing device for inputting corresponding 2-dimensional coordinates on the display screen, wherein the computer is operable to execute: a display control step for displaying a virtual 3-dimensional space on the display screen; a 2-dimensional coordinate detection step for detecting the 2-dimensional coordinates inputted from the pointing device; a 2-dimensional coordinate shift amount calculation step for calculating a first shift amount, per unit of time, in a first axis direction, of the 2-dimensional coordinates detected in the 2-dimensional coordinate detection step, and a second shift amount of the 2-dimensional coordinates, per unit of time, in a second axis direction; and a 3-dimensional coordinate shift amount conversion step for calculating a shift amount of a first axis in 3-dimensional coordinates in the virtual 3-dimensional space by using at least one of the first shift amount and the second shift amount, calculating a shift amount of a second axis in the 3-dimensional coordinates by using at least one of the first shift amount and the second shift amount, and calculating a shift amount of a third axis in the 3-dimensional coordinates by using at least one of the first shift amount and the second shift amount, thereby converting the first shift amount and the second shift amount into 3-dimensional coordinate shift amounts in the virtual 3-dimensional space to provide initial values, and thereafter, repeatedly calculating 3-dimensional coordinate shift amounts from the initial values.
