ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a video game apparatus which enhances a realism of a ski-jumping competition by displaying a changing wind direction as a prediction guide. In the video game apparatus, a wind data operating unit obtains a wind direction and a wind speed. The amount of change in the wind direction changes in the form of a sine curve, and the wind speed also changes in the form of a sine curve. A wind data display control unit displays a wind direction guide and a wind speed guide on a screen. The wind direction guide uses an arrow, and the wind speed guide is displayed by the thickness of the arrow. A run-up control unit allows a competitor of the game to start the run-up when a first left button is operated. An attitude control unit controls the flight distance of ski-jumping by controlling the height of the competitor with the influence of wind direction and wind speed, and the flight direction of the competitor obtained from corrected conditions by the leftward and rightward keys. Also disclosed are a prediction guide displaying method in the video game, and a computer readable recording medium storing therein a prediction guide display program.
