  • Patent number: 11013999
    Abstract: In an example of an information processing system, a field in a virtual space is divided into a plurality of sections, and a player character moves in units of the sections on the field. On a game screen, an image of the virtual space based on a virtual camera and a map image representing a range of at least a part of the field are displayed. When a direction of the virtual camera changes, an image representing the field rotates such that an up direction of the map image corresponds to a direction along the field in a direction of the virtual camera. In the map image, the image representing the field, an image representing the player character, images representing the sections, and an image indicating a movable range of the player character are displayed.
