Image generating program, storage medium, image processing method, and image processing device

Abstract

An image generating program, a storage medium, an image processing method, and an image processing device are provided capable of carrying out very detailed image control while preventing wastage of resources. This is configured such that a area of a movement path (30) present in a viewing frustum (V1) is calculated, then a determination is made based on the area (30) as to whether or not moving objects (31) are to be generated, and when it is determined that moving objects (31) are to be generated, information of the moving objects (31) to be generated is stored in storage means (12) such that positions of moving objects (31) present in the viewing frustum (V1) are renewed based on the information of the plurality of moving objects (31) stored in the storage means (12) and images of the plurality of moving objects (31) are generated.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image generation program, a storage medium, an image processing method, and an image processing device, and is preferably suitable for, for example, a game device that provides a three-dimensional action adventure game. Background technique [0002] For a long time, as a three-dimensional action-adventure game, it has included the following forms: using the downtown area as the stage, the user character moves in the street, conversation or battle with the characters and advances the development of the plot. In this kind of game, a number of passersby who have nothing to do with the progress of the game are displayed on the game screen to present a downtown scene. [0003] However, in the game described above, if each passerby is strictly managed through AI (Artificial Intelligence), etc., the CPU (Central Processing Unit) of the game device will have a very large load, which cannot be fully implemented in practical applic...

Problems solved by technology

[0008] And there is following problem in existing game: although do not need to manage its position and action for the object (person or thing) that leaves game screen, after leaving this game screen, continue to guarantee the memory resource that is used for managing this object, even There is also the wasteful problem of executing several codes (although nothing is displayed on the game screen, but storage resources are used)
