Abstract
A discharge direction in which a discharge object is to be discharged from a predetermined position in a virtual world is set on the basis of data output from a portable display apparatus. Then, the discharge object is discharged in the discharge direction from the predetermined position on the basis of data based on a load applied to a load detection device, and an image representing at least a part of the discharge object that is being discharged in the virtual world is displayed as a first image on the portable display apparatus.
Claims32
A computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a game program to be executed by a computer of a game apparatus capable of displaying an image on a portable display apparatus that outputs at least data based on an attitude and/or a motion of the portable display apparatus body, the game program causing the computer to execute:
- setting, on the basis of the data output from the portable display apparatus, a discharge direction in which a discharge object is to be discharged from a predetermined position in a virtual world;
- acquiring data based on a load applied to a load detection device;
- discharging the discharge object in the discharge direction from the predetermined position on the basis of the acquired data;
- and
- displaying, as a first image on the portable display apparatus, an image representing at least a part of the discharge object that is being discharged in the virtual world.
A game apparatus capable of displaying an image on a portable display apparatus that outputs at least data based on an attitude and/or a motion of the portable display apparatus body, the game apparatus comprising:
- a discharge direction setting unit that sets, on the basis of the data output from the portable display apparatus, a discharge direction in which a discharge object is to be discharged from a predetermined position in a virtual world;
- a load acquisition unit that acquires data based on a load applied to a load detection device;
- a discharge object discharge unit that discharges the discharge object in the discharge direction from the predetermined position on the basis of the data acquired by the load acquisition unit;
- and
- a display control unit that displays, as a first image on the portable display apparatus, an image representing at least a part of the discharge object that is being discharged in the virtual world.
A game system including a plurality of apparatuses configured to communicate with each other, the game system capable of displaying an image on a portable display apparatus that outputs at least data based on an attitude and/or a motion of the portable display apparatus body, the game system comprising:
- a discharge direction setting unit that sets, on the basis of the data output from the portable display apparatus, a discharge direction in which a discharge object is to be discharged from a predetermined position in a virtual world;
- a load acquisition unit that acquires data based on a load applied to a load detection device;
- a discharge object discharge unit that discharges the discharge object in the discharge direction from the predetermined position on the basis of the data acquired by the load acquisition unit;
- and
- a display control unit that displays, as a first image on the portable display apparatus, an image representing at least a part of the discharge object that is being discharged in the virtual world.
A game processing method performed by a processor or a cooperation of a plurality of processors included in a game system including at least one information processing apparatus capable of displaying an image on a portable display apparatus that outputs at least data based on an attitude and/or a motion of the portable display apparatus body, the game processing method comprising:
- setting, on the basis of the data output from the portable display apparatus, a discharge direction in which a discharge object is to be discharged from a predetermined position in a virtual world;
- acquiring data based on a load applied to a load detection device;
- discharging the discharge object in the discharge direction from the predetermined position on the basis of the acquired data;
- and
- displaying, as a first image on the portable display apparatus, an image representing at least a part of the discharge object that is being discharged in the virtual world.
