Abstract:
1. A storage medium storing a game program that lets a computer of a game device in which a game image including a player object that can be operated by a player is displayed on a display device function as: input detecting programmed logic circuitry for detecting an input by the player; coordinate storing programmed logic circuitry for detecting and storing coordinates on the game image corresponding to the input while the input by the player is detected by the input detecting programmed logic circuitry; direction calculating programmed logic circuitry for, based on an input locus having a predetermined shape shown by the coordinates stored in the coordinate storing programmed logic circuitry, calculating a direction shown by the input locus; determining programmed logic circuitry for determining whether or not a coordinate of a starting point stored first in the coordinate storing programmed logic circuitry is included in a predetermined range that is based on coordinates showing a position in which the player object is displayed in the game image; a first action controller for controlling the player object to perform a first action in a direction calculated by the direction calculating programmed logic circuitry when it is determined that the coordinate of the starting point is included in the predetermined range by the determining programmed logic circuitry; and a second action controller for, when it is determined that the coordinate of the starting point is not included in the predetermined range by the determining programmed logic circuitry, further determining whether or not any coordinate other than the coordinate of the starting point is included in the predetermined range, and controlling the player object to perform a second action in a direction calculated by the direction calculating programmed logic circuitry when any of the coordinates other than the coordinate of the starting point is included in the predetermined range.
