The following description will take an example in which the above information processing method is executed in a local terminal device (hereinafter referred to as a terminal device).

In order to facilitate understanding of the present application, the technical solutions provided in the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, in the information processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, a graphical user interface is provided through a terminal device, where content displayed on the graphical user interface includes at least a part of game scenes, and the game scenes include virtual spheres and multiple virtual roles, and the method includes the following steps:

s101: and controlling the virtual sphere to be displayed at a first designated position in the game scene and displaying a first touch control and a second touch control in response to the game play being in a designated game state.

Wherein the first designated location is associated with the designated game state; in the specified game state, the virtual sphere is controlled by a target virtual character of the plurality of virtual characters.

Here, the virtual ball in the game scene may be a virtual football, a virtual basketball, a virtual football, a virtual volleyball, or the like. Any virtual character in the game scene may be a player-controlled virtual character or a non-player-controlled virtual character. The target virtual character is a virtual character controlled by a player, namely the virtual character controlled by the player corresponding to the terminal equipment.

In the ball game, for example, football, basketball, volleyball, etc., there are various moving scenes triggering the virtual ball, for example, any ball, goal, corner ball in football, shooting, passing, serving, etc. in basketball, it is often an important way for the player to score, and the game has a higher competitive meaning. The ball game of the present application also relates to the above-mentioned moving scene of triggering the virtual sphere. In the moving scene of different triggering virtual spheres, a plurality of different game states are usually set in different games, for example, a ball point, an arbitrary ball, a corner ball and the like in a football game, a limit ball, a penalty ball and the like in a basketball game, a service ball and the like in a volleyball, and the like. The specified game state in the present application may be any of the above-described game states. In the present application, a first designated position of a virtual ball displayed in a game scene is associated with a designated game state, for example, a ball in a football, where the first designated position is a ball in the football game scene, for example, a penalty in a basketball, where the first designated position is within a semicircle behind a penalty in the basketball game scene, for example, where a service in a volleyball is a service area in the volleyball game scene.

Here, for the soccer game, the specified game state is any one of the following game states: corner ball serving status, point ball serving status, and arbitrary ball serving status.

In addition, typically, the player can trigger movement of the virtual sphere by controlling the target virtual character while the game play is in the designated game state. For triggering the movement of the virtual sphere, in the related art, the use of a sliding screen to generate a scheme of a flying line may make the controllability of the sphere poor. Particularly in football games, shooting is a relatively diverse and complex behavior, and in real football matches, players often kick different football flight lines and flight radians according to different positions of hitting football, but in related technologies, operations with the same effect as real kicking cannot be basically achieved.

In this regard, the present application is based on a real ball game scenario, wherein when a game play is in a designated game state, a first touch control and a second touch control for manipulating a target virtual character are displayed in a graphical user interface in addition to controlling the virtual sphere to be displayed at a first designated position in the game scenario. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a graphical user interface corresponding to a specified game state, where a virtual sphere, a target virtual character, a first touch control and a second touch control are displayed in the graphical user interface, and patterns of the first touch control and the second touch control are only exemplary, and fig. 2 is not a limitation of patterns of the first touch control and the second touch control, and may be a pattern of a virtual rocker, or may be other control patterns. Specifically, the player can control the kicking angle (corresponding to the moving direction of the virtual sphere) of the target virtual character by operating the first touch control, and the player can select the ball touching position of the foot of the target virtual character by operating the second touch control. The player can simulate the competitive mode of the real ball by triggering the first touch control and the second touch control, so that the operation with the same effect as the real ball is realized.

It should be noted that, the first touch control and the second touch control generally refer to interactable controls, which have specified shapes, such as a circle, a rectangle, an ellipse, and the like.

Taking a football game as an example for illustration, when the current game pair in the football game is in a ball-dropping state (designated game state) after ball dropping, controlling the virtual sphere to display the ball-dropping position (first designated position) in the game scene, and displaying a first touch control and a second touch control on the graphical user interface, wherein the first touch control can be a blank area displayed in a scene picture of the current game scene, or a designated area (such as the lower left corner or the lower right corner of the scene picture) or a surrounding area of the virtual sphere.

S102: responding to a first touch operation aiming at the first touch control, and determining the moving direction of the virtual sphere; and determining a first movement path of the virtual sphere in response to a second touch operation for the second touch control.

The second touch control corresponds to a touch ball position on the virtual sphere.

The foregoing first touch control is described in detail below, and specifically, the player may control the movement direction in which the target virtual character triggers the virtual sphere to move through the first touch operation for the first touch control. The moving direction of the virtual sphere corresponds to the moving direction of the real ball after the triggered movement, which can be understood as that the target virtual character triggers the virtual sphere to move in different moving directions under different ball contact angles. The moving direction is roughly divided into upper, lower, left and right directions. The direction of movement, if finely divided, may be in different azimuth angles, such as 30 degrees azimuth, 45 degrees azimuth, etc. In addition, the player can adjust the first touch operation for the first touch control to adjust the movement direction of the virtual sphere, for example, one first touch operation corresponds to one movement direction, and the other first touch operation corresponds to the other movement direction. The first touch operation may be a touch click operation or a touch slide operation.

It should be understood that there may be multiple mapping manners of the first touch operation and the moving direction, for example, the moving direction may be mapped with an operation type of the first touch operation, and different types of the first touch operation correspond to different moving directions; the moving direction may also be mapped with a touch position of the first touch operation, and different touch positions of the first touch operation correspond to different moving directions.

The manner in which the touch position of the first touch operation is mapped to the movement direction is described below, specifically, the determining, in S102, the movement direction of the virtual sphere in response to the first touch operation of the first touch control includes: and responding to a first touch operation aiming at the first touch control, and determining a moving direction associated with the first touch position according to a first touch position of the first touch operation in the first touch control.

Each of the different touch positions on the first touch control corresponds to different movement directions of the virtual sphere. The moving direction of the virtual sphere corresponding to each touch position is consistent with the moving direction generated by triggering the virtual sphere in a real match.

The following describes the component constitution of the first touch control, where the first touch control may be a virtual rocker control, and the first touch control includes a first control point and a control area; the first control point is located in the control area, and the control area is located around the first control point; the first touch operation is applied to the first control point; the responding to the first touch operation of the first touch control, determining a moving direction associated with the first touch position according to the first touch position of the first touch operation in the first touch control, and the method comprises the following steps: in response to a first touch operation for the first control point, determining a movement direction associated with a first touch position of the first touch operation applied to the first control point in the control area.

The second touch control is described below, and the second touch control may be understood as a touch position selection control of the virtual sphere, specifically, a player may implement selection of a touch position of the target virtual character through a second touch operation for the second touch control, where first movement paths corresponding to different touch positions for triggering the virtual sphere to move are different. Here, the first movement path of the virtual sphere corresponding to each ball contact position is consistent with the flight path generated by triggering the virtual sphere in the real competition. For example, the touch ball position is taken as a center position, and the first moving path corresponding to the virtual sphere is taken as a straight line path. For another example, the touch ball position being the left position corresponds to the first movement path of the virtual ball being an arc path (e.g., an arc path flying to the left, etc.). Like this, this embodiment of the application influences the first travel path that triggers virtual spheroid motion according to the ball position of touching of difference, can promote ball game's sense of reality and interest for the player obtains more ball service operation experience.

In addition, the player can adjust the second touch operation for the second touch control to reselect the touch position of the virtual sphere, so as to change the first moving path of the virtual sphere, for example, one second touch operation corresponds to one first moving path, and the other second touch operation corresponds to the other first moving path. The second touch operation may be a touch click operation or a touch slide operation.

It should be understood that there may be multiple mapping manners between the second touch control and the touch ball position and the first movement path, for example, the touch ball position may be mapped with an operation type of the second touch operation, where different types of the second touch operation correspond to different touch ball positions, and different touch ball positions correspond to different first movement paths; the touch ball position may also be mapped with a touch position of a second touch operation, different touch positions of the second touch operation corresponding to different touch ball positions, different touch ball positions corresponding to different first movement paths.

The first movement path is related to the ball contact position of the virtual ball, and the first movement path is unrelated to the movement direction of the virtual ball. The second movement path is a first movement path with a certain movement direction, i.e. the second movement path triggering the actual movement of the virtual sphere is determined jointly by the first movement path and the movement direction.

It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the first touch operation for the first touch control and the second touch operation for the second touch control may be performed simultaneously or may be performed separately, but no matter how the first touch operation and the second touch operation are performed, the finally generated second movement path is generally determined together. Under special conditions, if the player only operates one of the first touch control and the second touch control, default touch operation can be given to the touch control which is not operated, so that the second moving path is finally determined. In general, the player performs operations on both the first touch control and the second touch control, specifically, the first touch operation for the first touch control is used to determine a movement direction of the triggering virtual sphere, and the second touch operation for the second touch control is used to determine a first movement path corresponding to the selected touch sphere position, and further, after determining the movement direction and the first movement path, a second movement path of real movement when the virtual sphere is triggered can be generated. Further, after determining the second movement path, a path identification of the second movement path may be displayed in a scene picture of the game scene so that the player anticipates in advance the second movement path in which the virtual sphere is about to move. The path identifier is usually a line segment with an arc, as shown in fig. 2, where the position of the start point of the path identifier is located at the first designated position, and the end point of the path identifier is usually an arrow, where the arrow is used to indicate the moving direction of the virtual sphere, and the end point of the path identifier is used to indicate the landing position of the virtual sphere.

The second movement path may be any arc movement path, such as a movement path with a vertical arc (i.e., a movement path with a vertical throwing), a movement path with an upper left arc (i.e., a movement path with a falling from an upper left corner), a movement path with an upper right arc (i.e., a movement path with a falling upper right corner), and the like. For example, for shooting of football game, when shooting of football is actually performed, a player can kick out flight routes with various radians, such as banana ball, so that in order to simulate a more real kicking scene, a player can set a first moving path with different moving directions by operating a first touch control and a second touch control, more real control of a virtual ball is realized, reality and interestingness of the game can be improved, and more football service operation experiences can be obtained by the player.

It should be noted that, after the player sees the path identifier of the second moving path of the virtual sphere about to move, if the player finds that the current second moving path is not the moving path of the virtual sphere desired by the player, that is, the player is not satisfied with the current second moving path, at this time, the player may adjust the touch operation on the first touch control and/or the second touch control to update the second moving path, so as to obtain the satisfactory moving path of the virtual sphere. Therefore, the controllability of the virtual sphere can be improved, if the virtual sphere is in the attack stage, the attack success rate can also be improved, meanwhile, the game play time length can be reduced, the electric quantity consumption of the terminal equipment can be reduced, and the performance cost of the game server can be reduced.

In the following, the content of updating the second movement path of the virtual sphere about to move is described by adjusting the touch operation of the second touch control, and in an optional implementation, after displaying the path identifier of the second movement path, the method further includes the following steps: responding to a third touch operation aiming at the second touch control, determining a third moving path of the virtual sphere, and displaying the updated path identifier of the second moving path; the updated second movement path is determined based on the movement direction and the third movement path; and responding to the triggering operation meeting the movement condition of the virtual sphere, triggering the virtual sphere through the target virtual role, and controlling the virtual sphere to move according to the updated second movement path.

Here, the third touch operation and the second touch operation may be the same type of touch operation, but the touch ball position associated with the third touch operation and the touch ball position associated with the second touch operation are different, so that the third movement path corresponding to the third touch operation and the first movement path corresponding to the second touch operation are different, and the purpose of updating the second movement path of the virtual sphere to be moved is achieved.

S103: and responding to the triggering operation meeting the movement condition of the virtual sphere, triggering the virtual sphere through the target virtual role, and controlling the virtual sphere to move according to a second movement path.

Wherein the second movement path is determined based on the movement direction and the first movement path.

Here, the triggering operation satisfying the movement condition of the virtual sphere may be performed in various manners, for example, the releasing operation for the first touch operation and/or the second touch operation may be performed as the triggering operation for another ball-sending touch control separately set. In general, the release operation here should be a release operation of the last touch control of the first touch control and the second touch control, and the release operation generally refers to a touch end operation of the touch operation, that is, a player leaves a finger of the touch screen from the screen. In actual implementation, if the second moving path is the moving path of the virtual sphere wanted by the player, the player can leave the finger from the screen of the terminal device, at this time, the trigger operation meeting the moving condition of the virtual sphere is responded, the target virtual character is displayed in the game scene to trigger the virtual sphere, and the virtual sphere is controlled to move according to the second moving path.

Here, when the target virtual character triggers the virtual sphere, the target virtual character may execute an action of triggering the virtual sphere, where one way is that the action may be a default action, where the default action may be capable of characterizing a ball touching action, and may be independent of a moving direction and a ball touching position; alternatively, the action may be a specified action that not only characterizes the ball-contacting action, but also is related to the direction of movement and the ball-contacting position, which may further enhance the realism of the game. Specifically, in an alternative embodiment, the triggering operation in S103 in response to meeting the movement condition of the virtual sphere triggers the virtual sphere by the target virtual character, including the steps of: responding to a triggering operation meeting the movement condition of the virtual sphere, and controlling the target virtual character to execute a target action for triggering the virtual sphere; different ball contact positions and corresponding target actions in different movement directions are different.

For soccer games, a target virtual character triggers a target action of a virtual sphere, i.e., a kick action. For example, in a soccer game, a target virtual character moves to a position where a virtual ball is located, and a kicking action is performed on the virtual ball. For another example, for a basketball game, a target avatar may perform a basketball shooting action within a semicircle outside the penalty line. Because the target virtual character triggers the virtual sphere, the terminal equipment controls the virtual sphere to fly according to the second moving path, and the flying speed of the virtual sphere can be preset. Here, by performing corresponding animation and special effect presentation according to the second different moving paths, the player has a more realistic football service experience. For example, when a hanging ball is launched, the trajectory of the high arc and the physical posture of the target virtual character (player) can be displayed, thereby allowing the player to feel the strength and skill of the target virtual character.

It will be appreciated that the virtual sphere is controlled to move along the second movement path, and then the ground position of the virtual sphere is displayed in the game scene. In an alternative embodiment, after the triggering operation in response to meeting the movement condition of the virtual sphere in S103 triggers the virtual sphere by the target virtual character and controls the virtual sphere to move according to the second movement path, the method further includes the following steps: controlling the virtual sphere to be displayed at a second designated position in the game scene; the second designated position is a landing position of the virtual sphere determined according to the second movement path.

Here, after the motion control of the virtual sphere is completed, a next game process may be performed, where the motion control of the virtual sphere may not be related to the next game process, but other controls may be possible, for example, the transformation of the target virtual character may be performed, and at this time, the display of the first touch control and the second touch control may be canceled and changed to the display of the touch control corresponding to the next game process, so that the content displayed in the graphical user interface may be reduced, and the misoperation rate of the player may be reduced, thereby improving the game efficiency. Specifically, in an alternative embodiment, after the triggering operation in response to meeting the movement condition of the virtual sphere in S103 triggers the virtual sphere by the target virtual character and controls the virtual sphere to move according to the second movement path, the method further includes the following steps: and canceling the display of the first touch control and the second touch control.

In the embodiment of the application, the moving direction and the first moving path of the virtual sphere can be determined by responding to the first touch operation aiming at the first touch control and the second touch operation aiming at the second touch control; further, in response to a triggering operation meeting a movement condition of the virtual sphere, the virtual sphere can be triggered by the target virtual character, and the virtual sphere is controlled to move according to a second movement path, wherein the second touch control corresponds to a touch position on the virtual sphere, and the second movement path is determined based on the movement direction and the first movement path. Therefore, the controllability of the virtual sphere can be improved, and the reality and the interestingness of the game can be improved, so that a player can obtain more ball service operation experiences.

It should be further noted that, how the second touch control corresponds to the touch position of the virtual sphere specifically includes at least two ways, and the following only illustrates two ways:

mode one: the second touch operation is performed according to a different operation type, and for example, a single-click touch operation corresponds to a ball touch position of a central area of the virtual ball, a double-click touch operation corresponds to a ball touch position of a bottom area of the virtual ball, a long-press touch operation corresponds to a ball touch position of a left area of the virtual ball, a sliding touch operation corresponds to a ball touch position of a right area of the virtual ball, and the like.

Mode two: according to different touch positions of the second touch operation, the second touch control can be divided into at least two sub-touch areas, the touch positions of the virtual spheres corresponding to the different sub-touch areas are different, in actual operation, which touch position of the corresponding virtual sphere is determined according to which sub-touch area the touch position of the second touch operation is located in, if the second touch operation is located in a first sub-area on the second touch control, the first sub-area corresponds to the touch position of the sphere center of the virtual sphere; and if the second touch operation is positioned in a second sub-area on the second touch control, the second sub-area corresponds to a ball touch position on the bottom of the virtual ball, and the like.

Here, splitting the area on the second touch control is equivalent to splitting the part of the virtual sphere, and the player can trigger different parts of the virtual sphere by triggering different areas on the second touch control, so that different ball launching lines and tracks are triggered, and accurate ball launching control can be realized.

For the second mode, if the second touch control is divided into at least two sub-touch areas, each sub-touch area corresponds to one touch position of the virtual sphere, specifically, the at least two sub-touch areas include at least two sub-touch areas in a first sub-area, a second sub-area, a third sub-area and a fourth sub-area; the first subarea corresponds to a ball touch position on the center of the sphere of the virtual sphere, the second subarea corresponds to a ball touch position on the bottom of the sphere of the virtual sphere, the third subarea corresponds to a ball touch position on the left side of the sphere of the virtual sphere, and the fourth subarea corresponds to a ball touch position on the right side of the sphere of the virtual sphere. Exemplary, fig. 3 shows a schematic diagram of a second touch control including four sub-swipe areas according to the embodiment of the application. For example, the layout relation between the sub-areas in the second touch control may be randomly set, where one layout manner, specifically, a first sub-area of the at least two sub-touch areas is located in a central area of the second touch control, and other sub-areas except for the first sub-area of the at least two sub-touch areas are located around the first sub-area.

Taking a football game as an example, when a player touches the first subarea, the player plays a football in a real playing mode, and the player plays a football in a central playing area of the football; when the player touches the second subarea, the player is equivalent to a real kicking, and the player mentions the bottom batting area of the football; when the player touches the third subarea, the player is equivalent to a real kicking, and the player mentions the left batting area of the football; when the player touches the fourth subarea, which is equivalent to a real kicking, the player mentions the right side hitting area of the football. In this way, by setting the correspondence between each sub-impact area in the second touch control and each ball contact position (impact area) of the virtual sphere, the player can simulate a real attack manner by triggering different impact areas.

In order to get closer to a real ball scene, the layout relationship between each sub-region in the second touch control can be laid out by referring to the ball touch position of the real ball, and by way of example, fig. 3 shows a layout manner of each sub-region in the second touch control that is closer to the real ball scene, where the second sub-region corresponds to a first specified angle range of the second touch control; the third sub-region corresponds to a second designated angle range of the second touch control; the fourth sub-region corresponds to a third appointed angle range of the second touch control; the sum of the angles of the first specified angle range, the second specified angle range and the third specified angle range is 360 degrees. The first specified angle range, the second specified angle range and the third specified angle range are set closer to the impact area of the real ball, and the first specified angle range is set to 170-190 degrees, the second specified angle range is set to 0-170 degrees and the third specified angle range is set to 190-360 degrees, which are exemplary only, and when the setting is actually performed, one specified angle range can be reduced, and the other specified angle range can be enlarged for setting. The division is to simulate a strike area when a ball is kicked actually, and the division of the angle is appropriately split in consideration of the ease of clicking with a finger of a player.

Furthermore, the second touch control can be set to be round, and the touch area of the real ball can be further simulated.

Here, the second touch control corresponds to a ball touch position of the virtual sphere, and the different ball touch positions are associated with different first movement paths of the virtual sphere, so that the second touch control can establish a relationship with the first movement paths through the ball touch position. For the second mode, different sub-impact areas of the second touch control correspond to different ball contact positions, and different first movement paths are associated with different ball contact positions, so that the flight paths generated by triggering the virtual sphere in a real match are consistent, and further, different sub-impact areas on the second touch control can be determined to correspond to different first movement paths. Therefore, the embodiment of the application can simulate a more real ball touch scene, the first moving paths of different ball touch positions are arranged in different sub-touch areas of the second touch control, and the second moving paths of the actual movement of the virtual sphere are determined together when the first touch operation of the first touch control corresponds to different moving directions, so that the more real control of the virtual sphere is realized.

Taking a football game as an example, fig. 4-7 show that under the condition of the same moving direction, path identifiers of different second moving paths are commonly determined by clicking different sub-clicking areas of a second touch control and the same first touch operation for a first touch control, specifically, fig. 4 shows a schematic diagram of a second moving path corresponding to a first sub-area in clicking a second touch control, where the second moving path corresponds to a moving path corresponding to a touch ball position on a center of a sphere of a virtual sphere, and the second moving path can be understood as a moving path corresponding to a "butterfly ball"; fig. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating a second movement path corresponding to a second sub-area in the second touch control, where the second movement path corresponds to a movement path corresponding to a touch ball position on the bottom of the ball of the touch virtual ball, and the second movement path may be understood as a movement path corresponding to a "hanging ball"; fig. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating a second movement path corresponding to a third sub-area in the second touch control, where the second movement path corresponds to a movement path corresponding to a ball touch position on the left side of a ball of the touch virtual ball, and the second movement path may be understood as a movement path corresponding to an "inner-foot back-arc ball"; fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of a second movement path corresponding to a fourth sub-area in the second touch control, where the second movement path corresponds to a movement path corresponding to a ball touch position on the right side of the ball of the touch virtual ball, and the second movement path may be understood as a movement path corresponding to an "outer-foot back-arc ball".

Here, an embodiment of determining the first movement path through the second touch control is described, and in an alternative embodiment, the second touch operation is a click operation; in S102, in response to the second touch operation for the second touch control, determining a first movement path of the virtual sphere includes the following steps: responding to clicking operation for the second touch control, and determining a first moving path associated with a second touch position of the clicking operation in the second touch control according to the second touch position; the second touch position corresponds to a ball touch position on the virtual sphere.

In this case, the second touch control may have any "control point (i.e., a rocker of the virtual rocker control)", and the second touch position (corresponding to the ball touch position) may be determined by the clicking operation.

An exemplary structure of a second touch control is described below, where the second touch control includes a second control point; the second touch operation is applied to the second control point; in S102, in response to the second touch operation for the second touch control, determining a first movement path of the virtual sphere includes the following steps: responding to a second touch operation aiming at the second control point, and determining a first moving path associated with a second touch position of the second touch operation applied to the second control point according to the second touch position of the second touch control; the second touch position corresponds to a ball touch position on the virtual sphere.

Here, for a second touch control with a second manipulation point, the first movement path associated with the second touch position may be determined by a second touch position of a second touch operation applied to the second manipulation point in the second touch control. Wherein the player can determine the different second touch position by moving the second manipulation point.

Here, another embodiment of determining the first movement path through the second touch control is described, and in an alternative embodiment, the second touch operation is a sliding operation; the responding to the second touch operation of the second control point determines a first moving path associated with a second touch position of the second touch control according to the second touch position of the second touch operation applied to the second control point, and the method comprises the following steps: responding to the sliding operation of the second control point, and determining a first moving path associated with a second touch position of the sliding operation in the second touch control according to the second touch position; and the second touch position is a sliding end position of the sliding operation in the second touch control.

Here, the second touch position of the sliding operation in the second touch control may be understood as a position where the sliding operation is at the end operation of the second touch control.

Referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a flowchart illustrating another information processing method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 8, in the information processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, a graphical user interface is provided through a terminal device, where content displayed on the graphical user interface includes at least a part of game scenes, and the game scenes include virtual spheres and multiple virtual characters, and the method includes the following steps:

s801: and controlling the virtual sphere to be displayed at a first designated position in the game scene and displaying a first touch control and a second touch control in response to the game play being in a designated game state.

S802: responding to a first touch operation aiming at the first touch control, and determining the moving direction of the virtual sphere; and determining a first movement path of the virtual sphere in response to a second touch operation for the second touch control.

Here, the descriptions of S801 and S802 may refer to the descriptions of S101 and S102, and the same technical effects can be achieved, which will not be described in detail.

S803: and detecting the stay time for a second touch position in the second touch control, and determining the ball touching force for the ball touching position on the virtual sphere according to the stay time.

Wherein, different stay time length corresponds to different ball touching forces.

S804: and responding to a triggering operation meeting the movement condition of the virtual sphere, triggering the virtual sphere through the target virtual character, and controlling the virtual sphere to move at a specified movement speed according to the second movement path.

Wherein the specified movement speed is determined based on the ball contact force; the second movement path is determined based on the movement direction and the first movement path.

Here, by introducing a ball contact force, the ball contact force is used to indicate the impact force of the ball contact position on the virtual sphere. The ball touching force can be determined according to the stay time at the second touch position, and different ball touching forces can enable the moving speed of the virtual ball to be different, so that the reality and the interestingness of the game can be further improved. For example, the dwell time may be set in a positive relationship with the ball contact force, i.e., the longer the dwell time, the greater the ball contact force.

In real ball games, different ball contact forces affect not only the movement speed of the ball but also the radian of the movement path of the ball, specifically, after determining the first movement path of the virtual ball in response to the second touch operation of the second touch control in S802, the method further includes the following steps: detecting a stay time for a second touch position in the second touch control, and determining a ball touching force for a ball touching position on the virtual sphere according to the stay time; different ball contact forces correspond to different stay time lengths; updating the second moving path according to the ball touching force; in S803, in response to the triggering operation that meets the movement condition of the virtual sphere, triggering the virtual sphere by the target virtual character, and controlling the virtual sphere to move according to a second movement path, including the following steps: responding to a triggering operation meeting the movement condition of the virtual sphere, triggering the virtual sphere through the target virtual character, and controlling the virtual sphere to move at a specified movement speed according to the updated second movement path; the specified movement speed is determined based on the ball contact force.

Here, in an exemplary manner, the player considers that the radian of the second movement path corresponding to the currently displayed second touch position is not large enough, and at this time, the player may increase the stay time at the second touch position, increase the ball touching force of the currently displayed second movement path, and increase the radian of the currently displayed second movement path. Or, the player considers that the radian of the second moving path corresponding to the second touch position displayed at present is too large, at this time, the player can reduce the stay time at the second touch position, reduce the ball touching force of the current ball touching position, and reduce the radian of the second moving path displayed at present. In the mode, the ball touching force can be changed through the stay time of the second touch position, so that the second moving path displayed currently is changed, and the game experience of the player is further improved.
