Abstract: A player terminal pertaining to an embodiment of the present invention functions as a device that provides a game to a player. Since the player terminal is configured to determine a player's operation input on the basis of the change in the size of a figure that is moved by the player in an image inputted via an in-camera, it is possible to determine the player's operation input on the basis of a player action in which the figure is moved farther away from or closer to the in-camera.

Abstract: In a game device, a game control unit arranges an object in a three-dimensional space provided in a game field. A temperature-distribution simulator simulates a physical phenomenon on a two-dimensional plane, onto which a three-dimensional space is projected, in reference to a distribution-data storage unit. The game control unit applies the simulated physical phenomenon on an object in the three-dimensional space. A mycelial-growth simulator similarly simulates a physical phenomenon on a two-dimensional plane.

Abstract: A stage for a game can he made based on an image made or selected by a player or provided by a third party. A substantially infinite variety of stages can be provided thereby. Thus an enjoyable video game that hardly wearies the player can be provided.

Abstract: game scene is made on the basis of sentence data obtained from, e.g., an e-mail or a predetermined Next data, or audio data obtained from, e.g., a calling melody A substantially infinite variety of stages can be provided thereby. Thus an enjoyable game that hardly wearies the player can be provided.

Abstract: A control section shows a target measurement value, such as the height of Mt. Fuji or the diameter of a 10-yen coin, to the player by displaying it on a liquid crystal display. The player rotates a rotary operation member to advance a displayed character up to the target measurement value. Since the rotary operation member has a certain circumferential length, the control section multiplies the circumferential length by the number of rotations of the rotary operation member to obtain the distance covered by the character. At the end of the game, the difference of the calculated distance from the target measurement value is shown to the player. Thus the entertaining game for testing the player's sense of distance can be realized even in a low performance device.
