PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable high-speed processing for moving a character from a present position to a target position on a display screen, by reducing a load on the processing. PSOLUTION: In a route table 921, movable points A-F, which are taken as the present positions, are vertically written at a left end, and movable points A-F, which are taken as the target positions, are horizontally written at an upper end. A route to the next movable point on a shortest route in the movement from the movable points A-F taken as the present positions to the movable points A-F taken as the corresponding target positions is stored in an intersection-point area of the movable points A-F taken as the present positions and the movable points A-F taken as the target positions. Thus, the use of the route table 921 enables the character to move from the present position to the target position along the shortest route, without making the shortest route determined by carrying out an operation based on an algorithm.
