Abstract: An acquirer acquires touch location information indicating a touch location on a touch panel. A designator designates the moving direction of an object in the game space based on the touch location information. In a case in which there are multiple paths in which the object is movable in a game space, a predictor predicts, from among the multiple paths, a path in which the object will be moving, based on the moving direction designated by the designator and a shape of an environment that restricts movement of the object in the game space. The display controller displays an image indicating a prediction result by the predictor in the game space.

Abstract: First, the coordinate position on a game screen of each point is calculated (S501). Then, a path which circulates through the coordinate positions (or their vicinities) of all the points is obtained (S502). A line segment is drawn to extend from the barycentric position of the points in a direction corresponding to an input direction, and the coordinate position of the intersection point of the obtained line segment and the path is calculated as a position on the path through which a cursor passes (S503). Finally, the image of the cursor is moved to the calculated intersection point coordinate position and is displayed (S504).
