Abstract: In an electronic device, a plurality of images of each of the parts which constitute a character is contained along with a corresponding plurality of different parameters in a ROM. A parameter indicative of a character created by a controller is calculated from parameters corresponding to the respective images of the parts which constitute the character. The indication of an indicator which sets the progress of a game is controlled in accordance with the calculated character parameter. In more detail, first, the user selects images of the parts stored in the ROM and creates a character used in the game with those selected part images. The controller reads parameters corresponding to the images of the parts of the character and calculates a parameter of the character from those read parameters. A display displays an indicator which controls the progress of the game. The indicator changes at a speed corresponding to the calculated parameter.
