Abstract: In a first case in which a player character is sitting on at least a collision mesh, movement control of the player character is performed at a position on the collision mesh based on an operation input. In a second case in which the player character is not sitting on at least the collision mesh, the player character is caused to fall. When a first portion satisfying a first condition that the collision mesh is not present in a distance downward from a height defined with reference to a height of the player character in a range in a movement direction of the player character is determined, a first limitation is imposed on the movement control of the player character.

Abstract: An example of an information processing system can move a player character on a terrain object formed based on voxel data, and if a destruction action of the player character hits the terrain object, sets a destruction range that is a range set in accordance with a position of the player character and has a shape obtained by excluding from a predetermined shape a range below a predetermined surface set based on the position of the player character. The information processing system updates set the voxel data of a voxel included in the destruction range to a value indicating that the terrain object is not present, and creates a polygon mesh based on the updated voxel data.

Abstract: If a destruction action of a player character hits a virtual object, an example of an information processing system updates a damage value of a voxel in a destruction range, and if the damage value reaches a limit value, the information processing system destroys the virtual object in the destruction range.

Abstract: An example video game system includes user controls and memory for storing a video game program. A processing system including at least one processor executes the video game program to provide a three-dimensional (3D) virtual game world including a player character. The processing system periodically stores in the memory ghost data for the player character as the player character moves in the 3D virtual game world, based on inputs to the user controls, during a first game play session. The processing system generates a ghost character during a second game play session whose movement in the 3D virtual game world is based on the ghost data stored in the memory. The ghost character appears in the second game play session at a time subsequent to the beginning of the second game play session.

Abstract: An example information processing system performs a process based on a camera image obtained by a camera. That is, the information processing system obtains a camera image, and detects, based on the camera image, an operation of bringing an object (e.g., a hand of a user) into contact with the camera or the vicinity thereof. The information processing system performs a predetermined information process based on the operation detection result. Then, the user can give an instruction to the information processing system by performing an operation of touching the camera. This enables an unconventional operation, and it is possible to improve the controllability of the information processing system.
