For example, as shown in "Pull / Jump" in FIG. 7B, when the user points the controller 1 upward with his right hand, the operation specifying unit 14 refers to the operation specifying table D based on the output value of the sensor. Then, identify the action of pulling the horse. When the user shakes the controller 1 with his right hand, the motion specifying unit 14 refers to the motion specifying table D based on the output value of the sensor, and identifies the motion of the horse jumping over the obstacle.

For example, as shown in the “whip” of FIG. 7 (b), when the user shakes the controller 1 to the right while pressing the right operation button 2b, the operation specifying unit 14 identifies the operation based on the output value of the sensor. Refer to Table D to identify the action of whipping the horse from the right side.

The user can switch the type of the right or left controller 1 by pressing the direction button 3b, and can switch the controller 1 by pressing the operation button 2b twice quickly.

For example, as shown in the "lateral movement" of FIG. 7B, when the wrist of the right hand holding the controller 1 is tilted to the left or right (rotated to the left or right with the wrist as the axis), the motion specifying unit 14 is performed. Refers to the motion specifying table C based on the output value of the sensor, and identifies the motion of moving the horse from side to side. The motion specifying unit 14 can quickly move the horse to the left or right when the user performs the lateral movement operation while pressing the direction button 3b.

The user can execute the operation of the chasing whip (beating the whip while chasing) in the game by simultaneously performing the "chasing" operation and the "whip" operation according to the operation type. In addition, it is possible to switch between a whip (striking with a whip) and a whip (striking with a whip) with a specific button.

According to the above, the operation type of the controller 1 is determined according to the type of the controller 1 used by the user, and the operation in the game is specified according to the operation type.

More specifically, the operation type of the controller 1 is determined according to the type of the controller 1 and the operator to be used, and the operation in the game is specified according to the operation type. For example, different operation types of the controller 1 are determined depending on whether the user operates by holding the controller 1 with both hands or operating by holding the controller 1 with one hand, and the operation in the game is specified according to the operation type. The controller. Further, different operation types of the controller 1 are determined depending on whether the user operates by holding two controllers 1 with both hands and operating by holding one controller 1 with both hands, and the operation type in the game is determined according to the operation type. The behavior is specified.

According to this, the operation type is determined according to the type of the controller 1, and the operation in the game is specified according to the determined operation type. Therefore, the operation is intuitive according to the type of the controller 1. , The game can be operated by the operation according to the operation performed more realistically.

The intuitive operation of the controller 1 is not limited to the above example. For example, as another intuitive operation of the controller 1, the operation of the windmill whip (turning and striking the whip) may be executed in the game by turning the controller 1 backward.

Further, by moving the controller 1 diagonally upward, the operation of "giving a carrot to a horse" may be specified and executed in the game. Further, the operation of "stroking a horse" may be specified by gently moving the controller 1 from side to side, and may be executed in the game. Further, the operation of "brushing the horse" may be specified by moving the controller 1 in one lateral direction, and may be executed in the game.

Although the information processing apparatus, the motion control program and the motion control method have been described above by the above-described embodiment, the information processing apparatus, the motion control program and the motion control method according to the present invention are not limited to the above-described embodiment. Various modifications and improvements are possible within the scope of the invention. The matters described in the above-mentioned plurality of embodiments can be combined within a consistent range.
