Abstract

An input using a pointing device is acquired, and it is determined whether the input using the pointing device is an operation of moving an input position. If it has been determined in the determination of the operation that the input using the pointing device is the operation of moving the input position, an operation direction of the operation of moving the input position is determined. If the determined operation direction corresponds to any one of a plurality of directions determined in advance, a predetermined display target is moved in a direction based on the operation direction, thereby causing the predetermined display target to appear on a display screen. If it has been determined that the operation direction corresponds to any one of the plurality of directions, a common display target is caused to appear, regardless of which one of the plurality of directions the operation direction corresponds to.
