Terminal apparatus, control method, and control program

A control method of a terminal apparatus including a storage unit and a display unit configured to display a game content positioned in a virtual space, comprising:

• storing information related to a predetermined position in the virtual space in the storage unit;
• retrieving instructions for moving the game content including a moving direction given by a player;
• after retrieving the instructions for moving the game content, determining, based on the instructions, whether to move the game content according to the instructions or not, determining that the game content should be moved according to the instructions, determining a current position of the game content relative to a geometry provided in the virtual space, and calculating a route from the current position of the game content in the virtual space to the predetermined position;
• determining whether or not the calculated route satisfies a predetermined condition related to the moving direction;
• and
• upon determination that the route satisfies the predetermined condition, performing a process of automatically moving the game content, based on the instructions, from a starting point defined at the current position to an ending point defined at the predetermined position, wherein the process of automatically moving the game content from the current position to the predetermined position comprises:
• generating display data for performing display of the game content whereby the game content is moved to the predetermined position, and, after generating said display data, controlling display of the game content such that the game content moves to the predetermined position along the route in accordance with the generated display data.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium upon which a control program of a terminal apparatus including a storage unit and a display unit that displays a game content positioned in a virtual space is embodied, the control program causing the terminal apparatus to execute:

• storing information related to a predetermined position in the virtual space in the storage unit;
• retrieving instructions for moving the game content including a moving direction given by a player;
• after retrieving the instructions for moving the game content, determining, based on the instructions, whether to move the game content according to the instructions or not, determining that the game content should be moved according to the instructions, determining a current position of the game content relative to a geometry provided in the virtual space, and calculating a route from the current position of the game content in the virtual space to the predetermined position;
• determining whether or not the calculated route satisfies a predetermined condition related to the moving direction;
• and
• upon determination that the route satisfies the predetermined condition, performing a process of automatically moving the game content, based on the instructions, from a starting point defined at the current position to an ending point defined at the predetermined position, wherein the process of automatically moving the game content from the current position to the predetermined position comprises:
• generating display data for performing display of the game content whereby the game content is moved to the predetermined position, and, after generating said display data, controlling display of the game content such that the game content moves to the predetermined position along the route in accordance with the generated display data.
