Abstract:
1. A game device for displaying an image obtained by viewing, from a predetermined viewpoint, a virtual three-dimensional space where an operation target player character object which changes a position and posture thereof according to an operation signal and a moving body object representative of a moving body are disposed, and providing a sports game using the moving body, the game device the game machine comprising a processor which runs a program capable of performing the functions of: determining whether or not a position of the operation target player character object and a position of the moving body object in the virtual three-dimensional space satisfy a predetermined position condition comprising whether or not a distance between the moving body object and the operation target player character object is equal to or larger than R determining whether or not an angle formed by a direction corresponding to a direction designation operation in the virtual three-dimensional space and a moving direction of the moving body object in the virtual three-dimensional space satisfy a predetermined angle condition between −θ2 and θ2, wherein θ2 is a predetermined constant satisfying 0<θ2<π/2; and controlling the position and posture of the operation target player character object in the virtual three-dimensional space in accordance with a moving speed of the moving body object in the virtual three-dimensional space, when the determining the position condition comprises determining that the predetermined position condition is satisfied and the determining the angle condition determines that the predetermined angle condition is satisfied, wherein the controlling comprises,
