  • Patent number: 7785181
    Abstract: When an operation block collides a stacked block in an X-direction, a part of the stacked block facing an operation block is shifted to the X-direction to allow the operation block to be absorbed in the stacked block and an end being opposite to the end facing the operation block of the shifted stacked block to be ejected from the stacked block. The ejected block can collide with the stacked block again as an operation block. Such a collision operation is repeatedly performed after the completion of a predetermined arrangement in the stacked block.

  • Patent number: 7775867
    Abstract: A game apparatus includes an LCD and a touch panel is provided on the LCD. On the LCD is displayed a game screen on which objects of different types are disposed so as to be aligned in a reticular pattern. By a player touching a desired object, a three-dimensional location of the object is set as a point of gaze of a virtual camera. Then, by the player moving a touch location, the location of the virtual camera (viewpoint) is changed according to the movement. In a virtual space, different layers are provided for the different types of objects. The objects are disposed so as not to overlap with each other between the different layers. When the viewpoint is fixed and a plurality of objects of different types intersecting a line of sight or a line parallel to the line of sight satisfy a predetermined condition, the objects are deleted.

  • Publication number: 20100069132
    Abstract: A game apparatus includes a first LCD and a second LCD, and a game screen of a puzzle game, and the like are displayed on the first and second LCDs. Moreover, a touch panel is provided on a top surface of the second LCD. A player taps a stick on one of piece objects displayed on the second LCD to select a first piece object. Subsequently, the player drags the stick vertically or laterally to select a second piece object adjacent to the first piece object. As a result, arrangement positions of the selected two piece objects are interchanged, and numerals displayed on the respective piece objects are reversed laterally or vertically.

  • Patent number: 7382697
    Abstract: A seek control unit increments by a first magnitude the maximum speed when the pickup head is moved while the number of jumped tracks can be counted appropriately. If the number of tracks jumped during seek could not be counted appropriately, the seek control unit decrements the maximum speed by a second magnitude. The seek control unit sets the maximum speed stored in a speed information storage device 8 for a marginal speed. Once set for the marginal speed, the seek control unit, even when the number of jumped tracks can be counted appropriately, does not execute updating of incrementing the maximum speed stored in the speed information storage unit.
