Claims (29)

1. A non-transitory information storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute processing comprising:

obtaining a search region for a search of outside of one object; and

selecting any object in the search region as a search result from among a plurality of other objects,

wherein the processing for selecting any object comprises selecting any element in the search region as the search result from among a plurality of elements constituting surfaces of the plurality of other objects,

the program causes the computer o further execute processing for extracting one or more elements in the search region from among the plurality of elements constituting the surfaces of the plurality of other objects, and

the processing for selecting any object comprises selecting an element as the search result from among the elements extracted.

2. The non-transitory information storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein

the element includes a polygon,

the program causes the computer to further execute processing for obtaining a condition of a normal to a polygon being a search target, and

the processing for extracting one or more elements comprises extracting one or more polygons in the search region from among the plurality of elements based on the condition of a normal.

3. The non-transitory information storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein

the program causes the computer to further execute processing for obtaining a condition of an attribute of an element being a search target, and

the processing for extracting one or more elements comprises extracting one or more elements in the search region from among the plurality of elements based on the condition of the attribute.

4. The non-transitory information storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein the program causes the computer to further execute processing for moving at least a part of the one object, based on the search result.

5. The non-transitory information storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein the processing for obtaining the search result comprises obtaining a search region for a search of outside of the one object based on a state of the one object.

6. An information processing device, comprising:

search region obtaining means for obtaining a search region for a search of outside of one object; and

selection means for selecting any object in the search region as a search result from among a plurality of other objects,

wherein the selection means for selecting any object comprises:

selecting any element in the search region as the search result from among a plurality of elements constituting surfaces of the plurality of other objects,

extracting one or more elements in the search region from among the plurality of elements constituting the surfaces of the plurality of other objects, and

selecting an element as the search result from among the elements extracted.

7. An information storage method, comprising:

a step of obtaining a search region for a search of outside of one object; and

a step of selecting any object in the search region as a search result from among a plurality of other objects;

wherein the step of selecting any object comprises:

selecting any element in the search region as the search result from among a plurality of elements constituting surfaces of the plurality of other objects,

extracting one or more elements in the search region from among the plurality of elements constituting the surfaces of the plurality of other objects, and

selecting an element as the search result from among the elements extracted.
