Abstract:
An image generating device, comprising:shadow image generation control means for generating a shadow image belonging to a character located on a simulated field set in virtual 3D space and extending at least in one direction, the simulated field being rectangular, having first and second sides opposed to each other and a center line which is equidistant from the first and second sides, the image generation control means generating at least one first shadow image belonging to the character and extending toward the first side and at least one second shadow image belonging to the character and extending toward the second side; density setting means for setting a density of the shadow image based on a position of the character on the simulated field, and the density setting means setting the densities of the first and second shadow images based on the distance between the position of the character and the center line; display means for displaying the shadow image; and display control means for displaying the generated shadow image at the set density on the display means.
