Abstract

A non-transitory computer readable medium stores a program causing a computer to execute: displaying a player object and a target object on a virtual game space; controlling actions of the target object, the actions including at least one attacking motion; determining an action pattern of the player object when a specific operation indicating a direction of action of the player object is input during the attacking motion of the target object, based at least on either one of or both of a position and the action of the target object, a position of the player object, the direction of the action of the player object indicated by the specific operation, and the input timing of the specific operation; and moving the player object in accordance with the determined action pattern.

Claims (35)

1. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to perform a method comprising:

displaying a player object and a target object on a virtual game space;

controlling a plurality of actions of the target object, wherein the plurality of actions comprise at least one attacking motion;

determining, in response to a specific operation indicating a direction of action of the player object being input during the at least one attacking motion of the target object, a plurality of action completion positions for a plurality of action patterns,

wherein the player object is moved to a respective action completion position among the plurality of action completion positions for a respective action pattern among the plurality of action patterns based on the specific operation being input during the at least one attacking motion;

selecting an action pattern of the player object among the plurality of action patterns based on at least one of a position of the target object and an action of the target object, and further based on the respective action completion position for the action pattern and an input timing of the specific operation; and

moving the player object in accordance with the selected action pattern.

2. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

setting an attack range with respect to an attacking motion; and

determining whether a collision between the player object and the target object occurs, based at least on the attack range and the position of the player object,

wherein selecting the action pattern of the player object comprises selecting the action pattern based on whether the respective action completion position among the plurality of action completion positions is within an attack range.

3. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 2 ,

wherein determining whether the collision occurs comprises determining whether the collision occurs within a preset collision determination timing between a beginning and an end of the attacking motion, and

wherein selecting the action pattern of the player object comprises selecting the action pattern on the basis of the preset collision determination timing.

4. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 ,

wherein the program comprises a plurality of attacking motions of the target object, each of the plurality of attacking motions being associated with at least one action pattern of the player object, and

wherein selecting the action pattern of the player object comprises selecting the action pattern associated with the plurality of executed attacking motion.

5. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 4 ,

wherein the program comprises a base point moving with the target object, and

wherein moving the player object comprises moving the player object on the basis of the base point.

6. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the selected action pattern comprises a waiting motion that is executed over a waiting period set in accordance with the input timing of the specific operation.

7. An information processing method comprising:

displaying a player object and a target object on a virtual game space;

controlling a plurality of actions of the target object, wherein the plurality of actions comprise at least one attacking motion;

determining, in response to a specific operation indicating a direction of action of the player object being input during the at least one attacking motion of the target object, a plurality of action completion positions for a plurality of action patterns,

wherein the player object is moved to a respective action completion position among the plurality of action completion positions for a respective action pattern among the plurality of action patterns based on the specific operation being input during the at least one attacking motion;

selecting an action pattern of the player object among the plurality of action patterns based on at least one of a position of the target object and an action of the target object, and further based on the respective action completion position for the action pattern and an input timing of the specific operation; and

moving the player object in accordance with the selected action pattern.

8. A game device comprising a computer configured to perform a method comprising:

displaying a player object and a target object on a virtual game space;

controlling a plurality of actions of a target object, wherein the plurality of actions comprise at least one attacking motion;

determining, in response to a specific operation indicating a direction of action of the player object being input during the at least one attacking motion of the target object, a plurality of action completion positions for a plurality of action patterns,

wherein the player object is moved to a respective action completion position among the plurality of action completion positions for a respective action pattern among the plurality of action patterns based on the specific operation being input during the at least one attacking motion;

selecting an action pattern of the player object among the plurality of action patterns based on at least one of a position of the target object and an action of the target object, and further based on the respective action completion position for the action pattern and an input timing of the specific operation; and

moving the player object in accordance with the selected action pattern.
