Abstract:
1. An operation input device providing a game in which a moving object moves in a virtual space and targets are disposed in the virtual space, comprising: a target information storage unit which stores an each position of each of the targets and an each objective speed set for each of the targets; an operation input reception unit which receives an operation input; a moving condition managing unit which updates a current position, a current speed and a current direction of the moving object based on the received operation input; a passage determination unit which determines whether or not each of the targets collides against the moving object by referring to the current position of the moving object and the each stored position of each of the targets; a speed comparison unit which compares, when it is determined that one of the targets collides against the moving object, the current speed of the moving object to the stored objective speed set for the determined target which collides against the moving object; a drawing unit which draws a view field image depicting the virtual space observed from an observing point moving with the moving object and the targets in the virtual space, based on the current position of the moving object, the current direction of the moving object and the each stored position of each of the targets, the drawing unit drawing at least one of the targets with a graphical representation of the difference between the current speed and the respective objective speed of the at least one of the targets; and an evaluation unit which evaluates the received operation input based on a result of the determination and a result of the comparison and responsively generates a score, the drawing unit configured to draw a graphical representation of the score in real-time.
