Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein a game program which allows a computer being electrically connected to a display screen for displaying a game image and a touch panel covering the display screen, to function as: game image display programmed logic circuitry configured to display on the display screen a game image including an object image movable by a player; input coordinate detecting programmed logic circuitry configured to detect, at a predetermined interval, input coordinates outputted from the touch panel when an input is applied to the touch panel by the player; control-target setting programmed logic circuitry configured to set, when the input coordinates at an initial stage of detection by the input coordinate detecting programmed logic circuitry and display coordinates of the object image on the display screen satisfy a certain relationship, the object image as a control target object of the player while input coordinates are continued to be detected from the touch panel by the input coordinate programmed logic circuitry; display-coordinate updating programmed logic circuitry configured to sequentially update the display coordinates of the control target object according to input coordinates sequentially detected by the input coordinate detecting programmed logic circuitry; determining programmed logic circuitry configured to determine whether or not, while the display coordinates of the control target object are being sequentially updated by the display-coordinate updating programmed logic circuitry, current input coordinates detected by the input coordinate detecting programmed logic circuitry and current display coordinates of the control target object have been spaced apart by a predetermined distance due to a factor that hinders movement of the control target object; and display state changing programmed logic circuitry configured to change, when a determination result provided by the determining programmed logic circuitry is positive, a display state of the game image so as to indicate that the control target object is set as a control target of the player.
