ABSTRACT:
An origin which is set by a pointing device is drawn and moved according to a player's operation in order to carry out an operation in which a joystick is emulated, and therefore the operation in which the pointing device is used can be carried out in accordance with the player's controllability, and further a distance between the origin and a point at which the player operates the pointing device does not become longer than is necessary, and therefore the response to the operation can be improved.
