Abstract:
1. A game device for performing a game process by using acceleration data outputted from a multi-axis acceleration sensor provided in an input device, the game device comprising a processing system, said processing system including one or more computer processors configured to: obtain the acceleration data from the input device; detect a swing of the input device in a real space when an acceleration represented by the acceleration data satisfies a predetermined condition; determine a type of swing of the input device in the real space by using an acceleration in a predetermined axial direction of the multi-axis acceleration sensor among all the accelerations represented by the obtained acceleration data after the swing is detected; move a predetermined object in a virtual game space according to the determined type of swing; and display the virtual game space with the object therein on a display device, wherein one type of swing is selected from among a plurality of types pre-defined based on a twist given to the input device assembly while the input device is being swung in the real space, based on the acceleration in the predetermined axial direction, wherein said one type of swing is selected among the plurality of types of swings based on the comparison of an average value of the acceleration along the predetermined axial direction over a predetermined time period during the swing of the input device with a range of values of acceleration values, the range having predetermined end values, and wherein said one type of swing comprises a combination of a swing upwards or downwards given to the input device and a twist rightwards or leftwards given to the input device while the input device is being swung upwards or downwards.
