Abstract
A computer graphics animation editing system includes a memory for storing a status switch data unit including a starting data block and a response data block, the starting data block indicating a condition of a virtual world, the response data block indicating a response which should occur when the condition indicated by the starting data block is satisfied, a calculation block for calculating an updated condition of the virtual world, a checking block for determining whether the updated condition of the virtual world calculated by the calculation block is equal to the condition indicated by the starting data block of the status switch data unit, a start processing block for causing the response indicated by the response data block to start when the checking block determines that the updated condition of the virtual world is equal to the condition indicated by the starting data block of the status switch data unit, and a display unit for displaying the virtual world including the result obtained by the start processing block.
