Abstract
A computer of an image processing device executing an image processing program displays, on a display device, a virtual three-dimensional space where there are a plurality of objects. The computer varies a size of a collision detection region defined for a predetermined object so that the size repeatedly increases and decreases over time, while the predetermined object is moving. Then, based on the collision detection region, it is determined whether or not the predetermined object and another object are in contact with each other. The computer displays, on the display device, a predetermined effect being inflicted on the object determined to be in contact with the predetermined object.
Claims10
A computer-readable storage medium storing an image processing program to be executed by a computer of an image processing device for displaying, on a display device, a virtual three-dimensional space where there are a plurality of objects each having a collision detection region defined therefor, wherein the image processing program instructs the computer to perform:
- varying a size of the collision detection region of a predetermined object so that the size repeatedly increases and decreases over time, while the predetermined object is moving;
- determining whether or not the predetermined object is in contact with another object using the collision detection regions of the objects;
- and
- displaying, on the display device, a predetermined effect being inflicted on the object determined to be in contact with the predetermined object.
An image processing device for displaying, on a display device, a virtual three-dimensional space where there are a plurality of objects each having a collision detection region defined therefor, comprising:
- size-varying programmed logic circuitry for varying a size of the collision detection region of a predetermined object so that the size repeatedly increases and decreases over time, while the predetermined object is moving;
- a collision detector for determining whether or not the predetermined object is being in contact with another object using the collision detection regions of the objects;
- and
- a display controller for displaying, on the display device, a predetermined effect being inflicted on the object determined to be in contact with the predetermined object.
