Abstract:
1. A game device for performing a game, the game device comprising: display means for displaying one or more display objects of a plurality of display objects on a screen; input means for inputting position coordinates on the screen and for choosing, via a pointing operation performed by player using said input means, a display object from among a plurality of play objects displayed on the screen, such that, when a first-choice display object is chosen (i) via the pointing operation performed by the player using said input means and (ii) from among the plurality of display objects displayed on the screen, a second-choice display object of the plurality of display objects is determined as a correct choice; storage means for storing invisible choice determination ranges, each invisible choice determination range of the invisible choice determination ranges corresponding to a respective display object of the plurality of display objects, the invisible choice determination ranges being used for determining, based on the invisible choice determination range corresponding to a display object of interest of the plurality of display objects, whether or not the display object of interest has been chosen; determining means for performing determination processing for determining whether or not the display object of interest has been chosen via the pointing operation performed by the player, the determination processing being performed based on the position coordinates input from said input means and the invisible choice determination ranges; correct choice display object determining means for determining that the second-choice display object is the correct choice when said determining means determines that the first-choice display object has been chosen; and correcting means for performing, when the second-choice display object is determined to be the correct choice, correction processing for changing a size of the invisible choice determination range corresponding to the display object of interest, such that the invisible choice determination range corresponding to the second-choice display object determined to be the correct choice becomes relatively larger than the invisible choice determination range corresponding to a display object of the plurality of display objects that is an incorrect choice.
