Game program and game apparatus

A game apparatus, comprising:

• a position detector which repetitively detects a position designated by said position designator;
• a line drawer which draws a line on said screen along the position detected by said position detector;
• an object aligner which aligns, every time that the position detected by said position detector satisfies a contact condition with any object within said screen, said object on said line;
• an object mover which moves the object aligned on the line by said object aligner toward a trailing end direction of said line at a first velocity;
• a line eraser which erases the line drawn by said line drawer from a leading end at a second velocity higher than said first velocity;
• and
• a clearer which, before the leading end of said line catches up with the object on said line, if an array of the objects on said line satisfies a matching condition with a predetermined array, in association with the processing by said line eraser and said object mover, executes clear processing.

A game method to be executed by a game apparatus having a position designator which designates an arbitrary position within a screen on which a plurality of moving objects are arranged, comprising:

• a position detecting step which repetitively detects a position designated by said position designator;
• a line drawing step which draws a line on said screen along the position detected by said position detecting step;
• an object aligning step which aligns, every time that the position detected by said position detecting step satisfies a contact condition with any object within said screen, said object on said line;
• an object moving step which moves the object aligned on the line by said object aligning step toward a trailing end direction of said line at a first velocity;
• a line erasing step which erases the line drawn by said line drawing step from a leading end at a second velocity higher than said first velocity;
• and
• a cleaning step which, before the leading end of said line catches up with the object on said line, if an array of the objects on said line satisfies a matching condition with a predetermined array, in association with the processing by said line erasing step and said object moving step, executes clear processing.
