Abstract

A shooting game control method, which is executed by a computer incorporated in a device including a display and a touch panel, includes accepting a touch operation on the touch panel; displaying a first frame indicative of a shooting effective range on the display in accordance with a position of the touch operation; accepting an instruction for an attack on an attack target in a state in which the first frame is displayed; determining whether the attack target in a game image displayed on the display is within the first frame or not, at a time point when the instruction for the attack has been accepted; and controlling the attack on the attack target in the game image in accordance with a result of the determining.

Claims (30)

1. A game control method executed by an apparatus comprising circuitry and a display device, the game control method comprising:

in response to a first operation from a user on the display device, causing, using the circuitry, a shooting area to be displayed on the display device at a first location, the shooting area being displayed along with a portion disposed outside of the shooting area, the portion corresponding to a button that is a visual indicator disposed outside of the shooting area;

in response to a second operation from the user on the display device performed via the portion, which corresponds to the button that is the visual indicator disposed outside of the shooting area, moving, using the circuitry, the shooting area to a second location; and

in response to a third operation from the user on the display device, executing, using the circuitry, shooting within the shooting area.

2. The game control method of claim 1 , wherein the first operation corresponds to a touch operation.

3. The game control method of claim 1 , wherein the second operation corresponds to a slide operation.

4. The game control method of claim 1 , wherein the third operation does not correspond to a slide operation.

5. The game control method of claim 1 , wherein the portion is disposed at at least one of a top position, a bottom position, a left position, and a right position outside of the shooting area.

6. The game control method of claim 1 , wherein the moving moves the shooting area to the second location by a slide operation performed via the portion disposed outside of the shooting area.

7. The game control method of claim 1 , wherein movement of the shooting area is disabled, in response to a fourth operation from the user on the display device performed on an area different from the portion disposed outside of the shooting area.

8. The game control method of claim 1 , wherein the portion disposed outside of the shooting area is slide-operatable.

9. An apparatus comprising:

circuitry configured to

in response to a first operation from a user on a display device, cause a shooting area to be displayed on the display device at a first location, the shooting area being displayed along with a portion disposed outside of the shooting area, the portion corresponding to a button that is a visual indicator disposed outside of the shooting area,

in response to a second operation from the user on the display device performed via the portion, which corresponds to the button that is the visual indicator disposed outside of the shooting area, move the shooting area to a second location, and

in response to a third operation from the user on the display device, execute shooting within the shooting area.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the first operation corresponds to a touch operation.

11. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the second operation corresponds to a slide operation.

12. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the third operation does not correspond to a slide operation.

13. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the portion is disposed at at least one of a top position, a bottom position, a left position, and a right position outside of the shooting area.

14. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the circuitry is configured to move the shooting area to the second location by a slide operation performed via the portion disposed outside of the shooting area.

15. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein movement of the shooting area is disabled, in response to a fourth operation from the user on the display device performed on an area different from the portion disposed outside of the shooting area.

16. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the portion disposed outside of the shooting area is slide-operatable.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code that, when executed by a computer, controls the computer to perform a method, the method comprising:

in response to a first operation from a user on a display device, causing a shooting area to be displayed on the display device at a first location, the shooting area being displayed along with a portion disposed outside of the shooting area, the portion corresponding to a button that is a visual indicator disposed outside of the shooting area;

in response to a second operation from the user on the display device performed via the portion, which corresponds to the button that is the visual indicator disposed outside of the shooting area, moving the shooting area to a second location; and

in response to a third operation from the user on the display device, executing shooting within the shooting area.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the moving moves the shooting area to the second location by a slide operation performed via the portion disposed outside of the shooting area.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein movement of the shooting area is disabled, in response to a fourth operation from the user on the display device performed on an area different from the portion disposed outside of the shooting area.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the portion disposed outside of the shooting area is slide-operatable.
