Program, Object Control Method, And Game Device

A computer program embedded in a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium, comprising:

• a module configured to determine whether control information indicating an operation of an input device meets a predetermined condition for operation;
• and
• a module configured to cause, when the condition for operation is determined to be met, an object to perform an action mapped to the condition for operation,
• wherein the condition for operation to cause the object to jump in a game space requires that the input device be directed substantially in the vertical direction and that the input device be moved upward in the vertical direction, and
• wherein when the determination module determines that the condition for operation to cause the object to jump is met, the module for object control causes the object to jump in the game space.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having embodied thereon a computer program that operates to cause a processing system to execute actions, comprising:

• determining whether control information indicating an operation of an input device meets a predetermined condition for operation, the predetermined condition for operation requiring that the input device to be moved by a predetermined amount within a predetermined period of time
• measuring time elapsed since the start of a movement of the input device;
• determining, when the input device is moved by the predetermined amount within the predetermined period of time, that the condition for operation is met;
• and
• causing an object to perform an action mapped to the condition for operation, only when the condition for operation is determined to be met.

An object control method adapted to cause an object to perform an action in accordance with an operation using an input device, comprising:

• acquiring an image of an input device having a light-emitting body;
• acquiring control information indicating an operation of the input device by referring to positional information of the input device derived from the acquired image, and/or orientation information of the input device;
• storing the correspondence between a predetermined action of the object and a condition for operation of the input device;
• determining whether the control information meets the condition for operation;
• and
• causing, when the condition for operation is determined to be met, the object to perform an action mapped to the condition for operation,
• wherein said storing involves the storing of a condition for operation requiring that the input device be moved by a predetermined amount within a predetermined period of time, and
• said determination measures time elapsed since the start of a movement of the input device and determines, when the input device is moved by the predetermined amount within the predetermined period of time, that the condition for operation is met.

A game device adapted to cause an object to perform an action in accordance with an operation using an input device, comprising:

• an image acquisition unit configured to acquire an image of an input device having a light-emitting body;
• a control information acquisition unit configured to acquire control information indicating an operation of the input device by referring to positional information of the input device derived from the acquired image, and/or orientation information of the input device;
• a storage unit configured to store the correspondence between a predetermined action of the object and a condition for operation of the input device;
• a condition determination unit configured to determine whether the control information meets the condition for operation stored in the storage unit;
• and
• an object control unit configured to cause, when the condition for operation is determined to be met by the condition determination unit, the object to perform an action mapped to the condition for operation,
• wherein the storage unit stores a condition for operation requiring that the input device be moved by a predetermined amount within a predetermined period of time, and
• wherein the condition determination unit measures time elapsed since the start of a movement of the input device and determines, when the input device is moved by the predetermined amount within the predetermined period of time, that the condition for operation is met.
