Abstract
The present invention aims to provide an image processing device whereby the direction of movement of characters can be specified by means of control pad keys only. The image processing device according to the present invention comprises: control pads 2b provided with a plurality of keys for specifying movement positions of characters displayed on image display means 5; and image generating means 1 for generating images whereby the characters move to prescribed positions previously determined in relation to the configuration of said plurality of keys, on the basis of key inputs from the control pads 2b.
Claims19
An image processing device comprising:
- control pads provided with a plurality of keys for specifying movement positions of characters displayed on a screen;
- image generating means for generating images in which said characters are moved to prescribed positions previously determined in relation to the configuration of said plurality of keys, on the basis of key inputs from said control pads;
- and
- image outputting means for displaying the output from said image generating means on said screen.
An image processing method comprising th steps of:
- generating operating signals on the basis of key inputs from control pads provided with a plurality of keys for specifying the movement of characters displayed on a screen;
- and
- generating images in which said characters are moved to positions previously correlated to the input keys, on the basis of said operating signals.
A storage medium on which programs are recorded for causing said image processing device to function as:
- first means for generating operating signals on the basis of key inputs from control pads provided with a plurality of keys for specifying the movement of characters displayed on the screen of said image processing device;
- and
- second means for generating images in which said characters are moved to positions previously correlated to the input keys, on the basis of said operating signals.
