Control program for action game

A computer readable storage medium storing a control program for an action game in which a player character is moved in a game space in response to an operation of a game player and in which one character of a plurality of characters moving in the game space is selected to be an attack target, in response to an operation of the game player,

• the control program, when executed by a computer, causes said computer to:
• set a first angle and a second angle which is above the first angle as an angle of said one character from a predetermined base line, whose origin is positioned at said player character and which is extended in a direction where said player character is looking forward to memorize the first angle and the second angle in a memory;
• memorize respective angles of said plurality of characters from said predetermined base line before a predetermined time from present time in said memory;
• judge each of said plurality of characters as to whether or not it is a selectable candidate object based upon a content of said memory and whether its angle before said predetermined time is below said first angle and additionally its angle at said present time is below said second angle, or whether its angle at said present time is below said first angle;
• decide an order of selecting those of said judged plurality of selectable candidate objects based upon those angles at said present time of said plurality of selectable candidate objects;
• and
• select, based on the decided selection order, one of said plurality of characters as said attack target and sequentially change said attack target in response to an attack target changing operation by the game player.

An electronic device which executes an action game in which a player character is moved in a game space in response to an operation of a game player and in which one character of a plurality of characters moving in the game space is selected to be an attack target, in response to an operation of the game player, the electronic device comprising:

• a means for setting a first angle and a second angle which is above the first angle as an angle of said one character from a predetermined base line, whose origin is positioned at said player character and which is extended in the direction where said player character is looking forward to memorize the first angle and the second angle in a memory;
• a means for memorizing respective angles of said plurality of characters from said predetermined base line before a predetermined time from present time in said memory;
• a selectable candidate object judging means of judging each of said plurality of characters as to whether or not it is a selectable candidate object based upon a content of said memory and whether its angle before said predetermined time is below said first angle and additionally its angle at said present time is below said second angle, or whether its angle at said present time is below said first angle;
• a selection order deciding means of deciding an order of selecting those of said plurality of selectable candidate objects, which have been judged by the selectable candidate object judging means, based upon those angles at said present time of said plurality of selectable candidate objects;
• and
• an attack target changing means of selecting, based on the selection order decided by the selection order deciding means, one of said plurality of characters as said attack target and sequentially changing said attack target in response to an attack target changing operation by the game player.
