Example one

An embodiment of the present application provides a game engine resource processing method, as shown in fig. 1, including:

step S110, an acquisition request for any game resource of any running platform is received through a first preset interface of the game engine.

Specifically, when an application layer and an engine subsystem on an upper layer of a game engine initiate an acquisition request for any game resource of any running platform, a terminal device receives the acquisition request through a first preset interface of the game engine, the first preset interface is a unified interface of a resource management system of the game engine, and the terminal device can be a smart phone, an iPad, a desktop computer, a notebook computer and the like.

The application layer of the game engine includes plug-ins, user components, game capabilities, editors, and the like, and the engine subsystem of the game engine includes a scene manager, an animation system, an audio system, a rendering system, and the like, as shown in fig. 2.

Step S120, based on the obtaining request, obtaining any game resource through a resource management system of the game engine, wherein the resource management system comprises a first preset interface, a resource manager, a resource loader and a resource registry.

Specifically, after receiving the acquisition request, the first preset interface of the resource management system of the game engine may acquire the any game resource based on the acquisition request. The resource management system comprises a first preset interface, resources, a resource manager, a resource loader and a resource registry. In other words, the resource management system is split into modules, so that the resource management system includes an upper unified interface (i.e., the first preset interface), a resource manager, a resource loader, a resource registry, and the like, as shown in fig. 2. The resource management system can adapt to different game running platforms through the resource loader, for example, iOS (apple operating system), android (Android operating system), windows (microsoft operating system), and the like, and obtain corresponding game resources from the resource loader, so that the application layer and the engine subsystem on the upper layer of the game engine can obtain the game resources of different game running platforms through the first preset interface provided by the resource manager.

Further, as shown in fig. 2, the system architecture of the game engine includes a platform adaptation and target running platform in addition to an application layer, an engine subsystem, and a resource management system, wherein in the whole game engine, the resource management system is at the bottom of the game engine and is the basis of each subsystem of the engine and the application layer.

And step S130, returning any acquired game resource.

Specifically, after acquiring the any game resource, the resource management system returns the acquired any game resource to the upper layer of the game engine.

Compared with the prior art, the game engine resource processing method provided by the embodiment of the application receives an acquisition request of any game resource of any running platform through a first preset interface of a resource management system of a game engine, and acquires any game resource through the resource management system based on the acquisition request, wherein the resource management system comprises the first preset interface, resources, a resource manager, a resource loader and a resource registry, so that the resource loader can be adapted to different game running platforms, such as an iOS (apple operating system), an Android (Android operating system), a Windows (Microsoft operating system) and the like, and acquires corresponding game resources from the different game running platforms, an application layer and an engine subsystem on the upper layer of the game engine can acquire game development resources of different game running platforms by using the first preset interface provided by the resource manager, high efficiency and flexible management of different format resources of each large game running platform are realized, and the expansibility requirement of the resource management system and the requirement for rapidly loading a large number of resources of different game running platforms are met.

The embodiment of the present application provides another possible implementation manner, where:

the resource manager is used for caching the existing game resources, processing the release of the game resources and determining the release strategy of the game resources according to the types of the game resources, and the game resources can be ensured not to be repeatedly loaded by caching the existing game resources.

The resource loader is used for loading various game resources based on a loading pipeline of the pipelining, namely the resource loader is designed based on the pipelining, so that the loading pipeline based on the pipelining can support rapid expansion and adapt to various requirements.

The resource registry is used for storing the relevant information of the game resources, the relevant information comprises at least one item of identification information, hash value and conversion information from the resource path to the actual path, and the resource registry can also provide an external interface for inquiring the relevant information of the game resources.

The first preset interface of the resource management system is a uniform interface provided by the resource management system to an upper layer for each part of the game engine to call, and comprises interfaces for acquiring, querying, loading, releasing and the like of a series of game resources.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the resource loader based on the pipelined design includes a load queue module, a circular reference detection module, a pipeline scheduling module, a load pipeline module, a resource dependency analysis module, and an error processing module, where details and functions of each module are as follows:

the loading queue module is used for storing each game resource item being loaded and/or game resource items to be loaded, so as to control the work of dependence and the like among the game resource items.

The circular reference detection module is used for detecting whether the dependency relationship among the game resources has circular dependency or not, and performing fracture processing on the circular dependency when the circular dependency exists, which is equivalent to the problem of detecting whether the dependency relationship among the game resources has a ring or not.

The cyclic dependence refers to cyclic reciprocal dependence, for example, A depends on B, B depends on C, and C depends on A again, and the dependence forms a ring, namely A- > B- > C- > A. The loop dependency causes that when A is loaded, B must be loaded first, C must be loaded first, and C must be loaded first, so that A cannot be completed forever, and an infinite loop is formed. The problem with the loop is referred to as loop dependence.

Since a loop dependency causes an infinite loop, a place in a loop of a dependency relationship must be found to be broken, such as a- > B- > C- > a, which is a loop, and this time, the dependency relationship of B dependency C needs to be broken to become a- > B and C- > a, which is stopped when B is loaded, so that the loop is broken (i.e., the loop dependency). The operation mode for performing the fracture treatment on the cyclic dependence is as follows: when a sub-resource is loaded, firstly, whether the sub-resource is an ancestor resource of the sub-resource is searched, if yes, the sub-resource is not loaded any more, and the loading of the current resource is directly finished.

The pipeline scheduling module can be used for controlling splicing of all pipelines, controlling data inflow and data outflow among pipelines, scheduling parallel processing of all pipelines, scheduling callback processing of all pipelines and the like.

The loading pipeline module is used for processing at least one of dynamic splicing, deleting, adding and shifting of the pipeline, the whole loading pipeline is designed based on pipelining, and the pipeline can be dynamically spliced, deleted, added and shifted, so that the function customized by a user is realized.

The resource dependence analysis module is used for analyzing the related resources depended by the game resources after deserialization, loading the related resources obtained by analysis, namely analyzing other resources depended by the game resources, and carrying out loading work of the dependent resources.

Among them, deserialization and serialization are a pair of opposite concepts. Serialization refers to the process of saving the running object state in a tightly ordered form, which can be saved in any medium that can store data, such as database, hard disk, etc. Deserializing refers to reading the data file saved after the serialization, and parsing and restoring the data file to the state of running at the time.

The error processing module is used for recording abnormal information in the loading process of the game resources and returning the abnormal information, namely detecting whether the resource is abnormal or not in the loading process, recording the abnormal information when the abnormal information occurs and returning the abnormal information in the callback.

Further, as shown in fig. 3, the loading pipeline module includes a resource identifier parsing pipeline, a resource MD5 parsing pipeline, a platform adaptation pipeline, a resource downloading pipeline, and a resource loading pipeline, where details and functions of each pipeline are as follows:

the resource identification resolution pipeline is used for converting identification information (such as ID) of the game resource into global unique identification information of the game resource and converting the global unique identification information into an actual path (such as a real path address) of the game resource.

The resource MD5 parsing pipeline is used for acquiring a version path of the game resource by adding the hash value of the game resource to an actual path of the game resource.

The platform adaptation pipeline is used for matching corresponding Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) according to different game running platforms, namely performing adaptation work of the corresponding APIs according to different target game running platforms.

The resource downloading pipeline is used for determining a corresponding downloader for downloading the game resources according to the types of the game resources, namely selecting the corresponding downloader for downloading the resources according to the types of the game resources.

The resource loading pipeline is used for determining a corresponding loader for loading the game resources according to the types of the game resources, namely selecting the corresponding loader for loading the resources according to the types of the game resources, and comprises the operations of analyzing and deserializing the resources.

It should be noted that, the resource loader performs a pipelined design on the loading flow, each pipeline is responsible for one of the transactions, there is no direct relationship in the business between the pipelines, and the pipelines are connected in series to form a loading pipeline. After any resource request enters the assembly line, the resource request can be converted into a corresponding resource, the adaptation of each game running platform and the processing of a plurality of game resource formats are put into a plurality of different pipelines to work, so that the problem of mutual interference is avoided, the logic becomes clearer and more conforms to the design idea of an object, the development and maintenance difficulty is greatly reduced, and the working efficiency is improved. In addition, each pipeline is hot-pluggable and can be modified in sequence, and a user can add, delete and modify each pipeline according to specific requirements, so that the flexibility of game development is greatly improved. Meanwhile, in the foreseeable future, new standards can be adapted by adding, deleting and modifying pipelines, so that the expansibility of the resource management system is greatly improved. In addition, because the work among all pipelines is not related to each other, the parallel processing can be carried out through a producer model and a consumer model, so that the parallel efficiency is greatly utilized, and the time for loading resources is greatly reduced.

The new standard may refer to a new graphics library, or a new version of an existing graphics library, opengl, directx, vulkan, or a new JavaScript standard, ES7, or the like, or a new game platform, such as a wechat mini-game, a hundred-degree mini-game, or the like, may be calculated as the new standard.

The embodiment of the present application provides another possible implementation manner, where as shown in fig. 3, a resource manager in a resource management system may be further divided into a plurality of sub-modules, and details and functions of each sub-module are as follows:

the resource strategy module is used for determining different management strategies aiming at different game resources, namely different strategies are used for management aiming at different resources, for example, for internal resources of an engine and resources under a resource path which needs to be used by a user for a long time, manual control of the user is adopted, and the engine does not release work; and if the resources are not needed completely, the resources are automatically released when the scenes are switched.

The resource obtaining module is used for determining whether game resources exist by inquiring the resource cache module, returning the game resources when the game resources exist, and loading the game resources through the resource loader when the game resources do not exist.

The resource cache module is used for caching all resources used in the game so as to multiplex public game resources and ensure that the game resources are not repeatedly loaded.

The resource release module is used for determining to release the game resources or release the related resources depending on the game resources according to the user selection, namely releasing the game resources or releasing all other resources depending on the resources according to the user selection, analyzing and constructing all the related resources, and removing the object from the cache.

In addition, as shown in fig. 3, the resource registry in the resource management system can be further divided into a plurality of sub-modules, and the detailed contents and functions of each sub-module are as follows:

the resource path processing module is used for converting the global unique identification information of the game resource into the path information of the game resource.

The resource information module is used for storing at least one of the following: the type of game resource, the relative path of the game resource, the name of the game resource, identification information of the game resource, an identification indicating whether the game resource is a child resource.

The resource identification mapping table module is used for mapping the identification information of the game resource with the global unique identification information of the game resource.

Another possible implementation manner is provided in the embodiment of the present application, the acquiring any game resource through the resource management system in step S120 specifically includes: step a, calling a second preset interface of a resource registry through a first preset interface, and inquiring relevant information of any game resource through the resource registry to acquire identification information of any game resource; and b, calling a third preset interface of the resource manager according to the identification information of any game resource, and acquiring any game resource through the resource manager.
