  • Game device, game region expansion and contraction method, game program and information storage medium
    Patent number: 6932699
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for a game that makes it possible to freely establish a region by expanding or contracting various regions relating to a game with a simple operation. If a closed region for expansion or contraction is moved to a position adjacent to an already established expansion or contraction object region, and an expansion operation performed in a state where a boundary of the closed region for expansion or contraction and a boundary of the object region, the closed region for expansion or contraction is added to the original object region to enlarge the area of the object region. Thus, the boundary displayed overlapping on the object region and the closed region for expansion or contraction are removed, and a single linked boundary is formed on the new object region.
