ABSTRACT:
A direction control method and apparatus control the direction of a traveling object on a monitor, for example, in a video game device. An object having, for example, two elements to be directionally controlled with each of the elements being controllable in a rotational direction is displayed along with its background in a traveling state on a monitor. The object includes, for example, a war tank (31) used in a war game of a game device. The two elements to be directionally controlled includes a body (32) and a sight (33) of the tank (31). A target angle .theta. is designated by a single direction input unit 20(A) for the vehicle body (32) and the sight (33). The rotational direction of the sight (33) is controlled on the basis of the target angle .theta.. The rotational angle of the vehicle body (32) is controlled following the sight (33) on the basis of the traveling velocity of the tank (31) and the rotational angle Ya of the sight (33).
