Abstract

In a game that is implemented by the present game program, the contact position of a command means on a monitor will be identified when a player places the command means in contact with the monitor. Then, the contact position will be moved in an expected pass display area with the command means. When this occurs, the moved contact position will be identified as a final contact position from the point in time at which the contact position was identified, to the point in time at which a thrown ball character has arrived at the expected pass position. Then, the positional relationship between the final contact position and the pass position of the ball character that will pass through the expected pass display area will be identified.

         2 . The game program according to  claim 1 , wherein the final contact position identification function comprises: 
 a contact position movement determination function that will determine whether or not the contact position has moved, and    a monitor separation determination function that will determine whether or not the command means has been separated from the monitor,    wherein if it has been determined that the contact movement has moved with the contact movement determination function, the contact position after movement will be identified as a first contact position, and if it is determined that the contact position has not moved, the contact position identified by the contact position identification function will be identified as a second contact position,    if it is determined that the command means has been separated from the monitor with the monitor separation determination function, the first contact position or the second contact position will be identified as the final contact position at the point in time at which the command means is separated from the monitor, and    if it is determined that the command means has not been separated from the monitor with the monitor separation determination function, the first contact position or the second contact position will be identified as the final contact position when the moving object has arrived at the expected pass position.    
     
     
         3 .

 if it is determined with the gap identification function that a gap between the pass position of the moving object that passes through the expected pass display area and the final contact position is within a predetermined range, the trajectory of the moving object after the moving object has arrived at the expected pass position will be set to a trajectory that differs from the predetermined trajectory with the second trajectory setting function, and    if it is determined with the gap identification function that a gap between the pass position of the moving object that passes through the expected pass display area and the final contact position is not within a predetermined range, the trajectory of the moving object after the moving object has arrived at the expected pass position will be set to the predetermined trajectory with the second trajectory setting function.    
     
     
         4 . The game program according to  claim 1 , wherein the positional relationship identification function includes a gap identification function that will determine whether or not a gap between the pass position of the moving object that passes through the expected pass display area, and the final contact position, is within a predetermined range, and 
 the second trajectory setting function further includes a function that will set the trajectory of the ball character after the ball character has arrived at the expected pass position to a predetermined trajectory or a trajectory that is different than a predetermined trajectory, in response to the amount of time from the point in time at which the contact position is identified,    wherein if it is determined with the gap identification function that a gap between the pass position of the moving object that passes through the expected pass display area and the final contact position is within a predetermined range, the trajectory of the moving object after the moving object has arrived at the expected pass position will be set to a trajectory that differs from the predetermined trajectory with the second trajectory setting function when the moving object has arrived at the expected pass position within a predetermined time period after the contact position was identified, and when the moving object has arrived at the expected pass position outside the predetermined time period after the contact position has been identified, the trajectory of the moving object after the moving object has arrived at the expected pass position will be set to the predetermined trajectory with the second trajectory setting function, and    if it is determined with the gap identification function that a gap between the pass position of the moving object that passes through the expected pass display area and the final contact position is not within a predetermined range, the trajectory of the moving object after the moving object has arrived at the expected pass position will be set to the predetermined trajectory with the second trajectory setting function.
