GAME PROGRAM AND GAME APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a character from detecting a wrong voice input to act against a player's intention in an action game in which a player's character is made to conduct prescribed actions by voice inputs. SOLUTION: Sounds generated by the clapping of a player are converted into an electric signal with a microphone to be inputted into the game apparatus. With the inputting of a jump command, the character jumps but jumping by the character made responding to the clapping of the player is confined to the moment at which the character is positioned on a jump stand installed in a virtual game world. When the character is not positioned on the jump stand, if ambient noises are inputted with the microphone, the character conducts a challenging action instead of a jump. The challenging action will not affect the movement of the character. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
