Patent ID: 7980951

Claim:
A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon a game program executable by a computer of a game apparatus capable of using a value detected by an acceleration sensor provided in an input device for detecting accelerations in at least two directions, the game program causing the computer to execute: obtaining first acceleration data representing an acceleration in a first direction of the input device; obtaining second acceleration data representing an acceleration in a second direction of the input device which is different from the first direction; determining whether or not the first acceleration data is smaller than a first threshold value; when the first acceleration data is smaller than the first threshold value, executing predetermined calculation processing at least based on the second acceleration data to execute first setting processing of calculating a first parameter; when the first acceleration data is not smaller than the first threshold value, executing a second predetermined process, the second predetermined process including setting the first parameter to a predetermined value; and executing a game process, including animating a movement of a virtual object, based on the first parameter, wherein the predetermined value is a predetermined inclination value.
