Game display method, moving direction indicating method, game apparatus and drive simulating apparatus

A game display method for displaying an object in a virtual space, comprising the steps of:

• setting an area around a first object;
• and
• when a second object enters the area, moving the second object outside the area, based on positional information of the first object and positional information of the second object.

A game display method for moving to a destination in a virtual space a movable object which is moved in the virtual space, comprising the step of:

• displaying at a prescribed position in the virtual space a virtual object which indicates a direction from the prescribed position to the destination.

A moving direction display method for displaying a moving direction of a movable object which is moved in a virtual space to a destination therein, comprising the steps of:

• setting in the virtual space a plurality of moving direction indicating positions for indicating moving directions;
• and
• displaying arrows which are directed from the direction indicating positions to the destination being displayed and are not dependent on positional relationships between the direction indicating positions and the movable object when the movable object comes near to the direction indicating positions, whereby a moving direction for the movable object to move on is indicated.

A game apparatus for executing a game in which a movable object is moved in a virtual space, comprising:

• setting means for setting a dangerous area around the movable object;
• and
• display means which, when a character enters the dangerous area, the character is displayed to move in a direction in which the person moves away from the movable object.

A game apparatus for executing a game in which a movable object is moved in a virtual space, comprising:

• setting means for setting an area around a first object;
• and
• display means which, when a second object enters the area, displays the second object to move outside the area, based on positional information of the first object and positional information of the second object.

A game apparatus for executing a game in which a movable object which is moved in a virtual space is moved to a destination in the virtual space, comprising:

• display means for displaying at a prescribed position in the virtual space a virtual object indicating a direction from the prescribed position to the destination.

A driving direction display method for displaying a driving direction for a movable object to drive to a destination in a virtual space,

• when a current position of the movable object is away from the destination by a prescribed distance, a direction indicating object which is along a driveway from the current position to the destination being displayed, and
• when the current position of the movable object is within the prescribed distance from the destination, a direction indicating object directed from the current position to the destination is displayed, whereby the driving direction of the movable object is indicated.

A driving, direction display method for displaying a driving direction for a movable object to drive to a destination in a virtual space,

• when a current position of the movable object is away from the destination by a prescribed distance, a first direction indicating object which is along a driveway from the current position to the destination being displayed, and
• when the current position of the movable object is within the prescribed distance from the destination, a second direction indicating object directed from the current position to the destination is displayed, whereby the driving direction of the movable object is indicated.

A display method for displaying a game in which a movable object which is movable in a virtual space is moved to a destination in the virtual space,

• at least when a current position of the movable object is within a prescribed distance from the destination, the destination is emphatically displayed.

A display method for displaying a game in which a movable object which is movable in a virtual space gets a specific object at a prescribed position in the virtual space and is moved to a destination in the virtual space,

• wherein a position of the specific object is emphatically displayed.

An electronic device for displaying a driving direction for a movable object to move to a destination in a virtual space, comprising:

• display means for, when a current position of the movable object is away from the destination by a prescribed distance, displaying a direction indicating object which is along a driveway from the current position to the destination, and, when the current position of the movable object is within the prescribed distance from the destination, displaying a direction indicating object directed from the current position to the destination,
• wherein the driving directions of the movable object being indicated by the direction indicating objects.

An electronic device for moving a movable object which is movable in a virtual space to a destination in the virtual space, comprising:

• display means for, at least when a current position of the movable object is within a prescribed distance from the destination, emphatically displaying the destination.
