  • Patent number: 10881959
    Abstract: In a first mode, when a movement operation for a moving body is performed, then based on at least one of the movement operation and an operations performed together with the movement operation, a movement parameter for a moving body object is determined, and in a second mode, based on data indicating a marker-indicated position movement operation, a target position of the moving body object indicated by a marker is changed, and the movement parameter for the moving body object is determined based on the target position. Then, when the movement operation is performed, the moving body object is moved based on the determined movement parameter, and an image of a virtual space is generated.
