Abstract: A data obtaining unit repeatedly obtains acceleration data. An acceleration vector generation unit generates first acceleration vector in accordance with first acceleration data obtained by the data obtaining unit, and generates second acceleration vector in accordance with second acceleration data time-sequentially obtained by the data obtaining unit following the first acceleration data. A cross product direction calculation unit calculates a direction of a cross product between the first acceleration vector and the second acceleration vector. A swing direction identification unit identifies a swing direction in which the input device is swung in accordance with the direction of the cross product.

Abstract: When a music performance game starts, the user selects a part to be assigned to himself/herself. When the selection of the assigned part is completed, an ensemble starts. When the ensemble starts, the user can participate in the ensemble by performing an input operation corresponding to the assigned part. During the ensemble, history data representing the user's musical performances in chronological order is generated and stored in an external main memory. When the ensemble ends, the user can play again, changing assigned parts. At this time, as for the part currently selected by the user, the instrument is played based on the user's input, while the history data representing the user's current musical performances in chronological order is generated. Of the other parts, as for the parts that the user has selected earlier, the instruments are played automatically based on the history data.

Abstract: An example game system has a terminal device and a plurality of controller devices. The game system moves a first object, which is arranged in a predetermined game space, in accordance with an operation performed on the terminal device; and moves a plurality of second objects in accordance with operations performed on the controller devices. A first virtual camera is set based on a position of the first object in the game space. A second virtual camera is set so that a plurality of the second objects are included in a visual field range. A first game image representing the game space as seen from the first virtual camera is displayed on a display unit of the terminal device. A second game image representing the game space as seen from the second virtual camera is displayed on a predetermined display device separate from the terminal device.

Abstract: An exemplary game device displays on a display a character within a virtual space. A predetermined user operation is received by a touch panel. Further, the CPU moves the character within the virtual space, while the predetermined user operation is received by the touch panel. The CPU causes the character to make a predetermined motion and bring back the position of the character to the position before the character is moved, when a period from the start to the end of the predetermined user operation is shorter than a predetermined period.

Abstract: First, operation data is acquired from an input device that is operated by a user. Next, a target is configured, by utilizing the operation data, within a predetermined range which is frontward in a forward direction of a course where a user object should move along and which is defined based on the course. Next, a moving direction of the user object is determined based on a position of the user object and a position of the target. Next, the user object is moved toward the moving direction determined by a moving direction determining means.
