Abstract

A computer program is recorded on a computer readable recording medium. The computer program is used to correct motion of characters instructed by a game player, while considering a physique difference between the characters. The computer program causes a computer to: determine motion in order that a predetermined portion of the first character is moved toward a predetermined portion of a standard mode model in response to an operation input made by a player, while the standard mode model corresponds with a second character and the standard mode model is constituted by portions having a correspondence relationship with the respective portions of the second character; to acquire a positional relationship between a preselected portion of the standard mode model, which is a target of the determined motion, and a portion of the second character corresponding to the preselected portion of the standard mode model; to correct the determined motion by employing the acquired positional relation; and also to display on a screen, the first character which is moved in accordance with the corrected motion.
