Information processing method and recording medium

An information processing method implemented by a processor, the method comprising:

• acquiring touch location information indicating a touch location on a touch panel;
• designating a moving direction of an object in a game space based on the touch location information;
• in a case in which there are multiple paths in which the object is movable, predicting, from among the multiple paths, a path in which the object will be moving, based on the designated moving direction and a shape of an environment that restricts movement of the object in the game space;
• and
• displaying, in the game space, an image indicating a prediction result.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program for causing a processor to function as:

• an acquirer configured to acquire touch location information indicating a touch location on a touch panel;
• and
• a determiner configured to:
• in a case in which the touch location indicated by the touch location information is in a first region, determine movement of an object in a first direction, wherein the object is in a first path that is in the first direction in a game space, and
• in a case in which the touch location indicated by the touch location information is in a second region partially overlapping the first region, determine movement of the object in a second direction, wherein the object is in a second path that is in the second direction in the game space,
• wherein the determiner includes:
• in a case in which the touch location indicated by the touch location information is in an overlapping region between the first region and the second region and in which there is a connection point of the first path and the second path in an area in the moving direction of the object in the game space,
• a selector configured to select, based on the touch location information, the moving direction of the object at the connection point from among the first direction and the second direction;
• and
• a display controller configured to display in the game space an image indicating a selection result by the selector before the object reaches the connection point.
