Abstract
There is provided a game system which can change the configuration of an image based on the detected illuminating position of a light illuminating means to improve the effect of a game. The game system includes a light detection section 54 which detects a position of a spotlight on a screen formed by an infrared light emitting section 22, an area setting section 58 which sets a given specified area based on the position of the spotlight detected by the position detection section 54, and an image effect section 52 which displays an image so that the specified area is displayed in a manner differing from an area other than the specified area.
Claims32
A game system comprising:
- means which sets a given specified area based on a position specified on a screen by a player using specifying means;
- and
- image effect means which displays an image with a game effect in which the specified area is displayed in a manner relatively differing from an area other than the specified area.
A game system comprising:
- a gun-like device including a simulated searchlight and specifying a specified position on a screen using specifying means;
- position detection means which detects the specified position;
- means which sets a given specified area as an area illuminated by the simulated searchlight based on the specified position detected by the position detection means;
- and
- image effect means which displays an image with a game effect in which the specified area is displayed in a manner relatively differing from an area other than the specified area.
A game method comprising:
- a step of setting a given specified area based on a position specified on a screen by a player using specifying means;
- and
- image effect step of displaying an image with a game effect in which the specified area is displayed in a manner relatively differing from an area other than the specified area.
A game method comprising:
- a step of specifying a specified position on a screen using specifying means of a gun-like device including a simulated searchlight;
- a position detection step of detecting the specified position;
- a step of setting a given specified area as an area illuminated by the simulated searchlight based on the specified position detected in the position detection step;
- and
- a step of displaying an image with a game effect in which the specified area is displayed in a manner relatively differing from an area other than the specified area.
