Patent ID: 8702511

Claim:
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having an information processing program stored thereon executable by a computer of an information processing apparatus for executing information processing for displaying an object, formed of a plurality of nodes connected to each other in a virtual space, on a display device, the information processing program causing the computer to provide functionality comprising: an object motion in which the object is caused to make a predetermined motion; an acting force calculation for calculating an attracting force or a repulsive force generated, in accordance with the predetermined motion, between a predetermined node serving as a node of attention among the plurality of nodes and each node serving as a connected node connected to the node of attention; a maximum and minimum calculation for calculating a maximum value and a minimum value of a component, of each reference axis direction, of the attracting force or the repulsive force generated between the node of attention and each connected node; a modification vector calculation for calculating a modification vector using the maximum value and the minimum value of each reference axis direction calculated by the maximum and minimum calculation; a node control for controlling the node of attention based on the modification vector calculated by the modification vector calculation; and a display control for generating an image of the object which reflects the result of control by the node control and displaying the image on the display device.
