Through the scheme of the disclosure, the target position can be moved by combining different moving modes, so that the moving modes are enriched, and the long-time moving process is prevented from leading to boring players.

The game control method in one embodiment of the present disclosure may be run on a local terminal device or a server. When the game control method is run on a server, the method can be realized and executed based on a cloud interaction system, wherein the cloud interaction system comprises the server and the client device.

In an alternative embodiment, various cloud applications may be run under the cloud interaction system, for example: and (5) cloud game. Taking cloud game as an example, cloud game refers to a game mode based on cloud computing. In the cloud game operation mode, the game program operation main body and the game picture presentation main body are separated, the game control method is stored and operated on the cloud game server, the client device is used for receiving and sending data and presenting the game picture, for example, the client device can be a display device with a data transmission function close to a user side, such as a mobile terminal, a television, a computer, a palm computer and the like; but the cloud game server which performs information processing is a cloud. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send an operation instruction to the cloud game server, the cloud game server runs the game according to the operation instruction, codes and compresses data such as game pictures and the like, returns the data to the client device through a network, and finally decodes the data through the client device and outputs the game pictures.

In an alternative embodiment, taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores a game program and is used to present a game screen. The local terminal device is used for interacting with the player through the graphical user interface, namely, conventionally downloading and installing the game program through the electronic device and running. The manner in which the local terminal device provides the graphical user interface to the player may include a variety of ways, for example, it may be rendered for display on a display screen of the terminal, or provided to the player by holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device may include a display screen for presenting a graphical user interface including game visuals, and a processor for running the game, generating the graphical user interface, and controlling the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.

In a possible implementation manner, the embodiment of the invention provides a game control method, and a graphical user interface is provided through terminal equipment, wherein the terminal equipment can be the aforementioned local terminal equipment or the aforementioned client equipment in the cloud interaction system.

Note that the present disclosure is not particularly limited as to the type of game.

Next, steps S110 to S120 of the game control method in the present exemplary embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to fig. 1 and the embodiment.

Step S110, determining a target position in a virtual game scene;

in one example embodiment of the present disclosure, a target location may be determined in a virtual game scene. Specifically, the target position refers to a position in the virtual game scene where the player needs to control the virtual game object to arrive. For example, the target location is a certain coordinate in the virtual game scene.

In one example embodiment of the present disclosure, a target location may be determined in a virtual game scene in response to a target location selection operation. Specifically, the target position selection operation is used for determining the target position in the virtual game scene. The target position selection operation may include a touch operation, and specifically, the touch operation may include a sliding touch operation, a pressing touch operation, a gesture touch operation, a long-press touch operation, a clicking touch operation, a dragging touch operation, and the like. The target position selection operation may also include a pressing operation, a voice operation, and the like.

For example, after acquiring an initial position of a virtual game object in a virtual game scene, a click touch operation acting on a certain position in the virtual game scene may be received and the position may be determined as a target position.

For another example, the game has a task system, and after the initial position in the virtual game scene is acquired, a certain task can be clicked, and the task has a task position, and the task position can be used as a target position.

It should be noted that, the specific form of the target position selection operation and the specific manner of determining the target position in the virtual game scene are not particularly limited in the present disclosure.

In one example embodiment of the present disclosure, a virtual game object refers to a dynamic object that can be controlled in a virtual scene. Alternatively, the dynamic object may be a virtual character, a virtual animal, a cartoon character, or the like. The virtual object is a Character that a Player controls through an input device, or is an artificial intelligence (Artificial Intelligence, AI) set in a virtual environment fight by training, or is a Non-Player Character (NPC) set in a virtual environment fight. Optionally, the virtual object is a virtual character playing an athletic in the virtual scene. Optionally, the number of virtual objects in the virtual scene fight is preset, or dynamically determined according to the number of clients joining the fight, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present application. In one possible implementation, a user can control a virtual object to move in the virtual scene, e.g., control the virtual object to run, jump, crawl, etc., as well as control the virtual object to fight other virtual objects using skills, virtual props, etc., provided by the application.

In one example embodiment of the present disclosure, the virtual game scene is a virtual scene that an application program displays (or provides) while running on a terminal or server. Optionally, the virtual scene is a simulation environment for the real world, or a semi-simulated semi-fictional virtual environment, or a purely fictional virtual environment. The virtual scene is any one of a two-dimensional virtual scene and a three-dimensional virtual scene, and the virtual environment can be sky, land, ocean and the like, wherein the land comprises environmental elements such as deserts, cities and the like. The virtual scene is a scene of a complete game logic of a virtual object such as user control, for example, in a sandbox 3D shooting game, the virtual scene is a 3D game world for a player to control the virtual object to fight, and an exemplary virtual scene may include: at least one element selected from mountains, flat lands, rivers, lakes, oceans, deserts, sky, plants, buildings and vehicles; for example, in a 2D card game, the virtual scene is a scene for showing a released card or a virtual object corresponding to the released card, and an exemplary virtual scene may include: arenas, battle fields, or other "field" elements or other elements that can display the status of card play; for a 2D or 3D multiplayer online tactical game, the virtual scene is a 2D or 3D terrain scene for virtual objects to fight, an exemplary virtual scene may include: mountain, line, river, classroom, table and chair, podium, etc.

Step S120, responding to a moving instruction to the target position, controlling the virtual game object to move from the initial position where the virtual game object is currently positioned to the middle position in a first moving mode, and moving from the middle position to the target position in a second moving mode;

in one example embodiment of the present disclosure, an initial position of a virtual game object in a virtual game scene may be obtained. Specifically, the initial position where the virtual game object is currently located refers to the real-time position of the virtual game object in the virtual game scene when the scheme of the present disclosure is applied. For example, the initial position where the virtual game object is currently located is a certain coordinate in the virtual game scene.

It should be noted that, the present disclosure is not limited to a specific form of acquiring the initial position where the virtual game object is currently located.

In one example embodiment of the present disclosure, after the target position is determined through the above-described steps, the virtual game object may be controlled to move from the initial position where it is currently located to the intermediate position in a first movement manner and to move from the intermediate position to the target position in a second movement manner in response to a movement instruction to the target position. Wherein the intermediate position is located between the initial position and the target position. Specifically, the target position refers to a position in the virtual game scene where the player needs to control the virtual game object to reach, so after determining the target position, the virtual game object can be controlled to move from the initial position to the intermediate position in a first moving manner from the current initial position, and then move from the intermediate position to the target position in a second moving manner, wherein the moving process includes the first moving manner and the second moving manner, and the first moving manner is different from the second moving manner.

For example, the moving manner may include a normal speed movement and an instantaneous movement, wherein the normal speed movement refers to a smooth movement of the virtual game object according to a preset speed and a path, and the instantaneous movement refers to an instantaneous movement of the game object from one position to another position in the moment, wherein the speed of the instantaneous movement is greater than the speed of the normal speed movement.

Specifically, in the process of controlling the virtual game object to move from the initial position where the virtual game object is currently located to the intermediate position in the first moving manner and to move from the intermediate position to the target position in the second moving manner, a part of the virtual game object moves in the first moving manner and a part of the virtual game object moves in the second moving manner.

For example, during the movement of the virtual game object, the virtual game object is controlled to move at a normal speed/instantaneously to an intermediate position, and then the virtual game object is controlled to move from the intermediate position instantaneously/at a normal speed to a target position.

In one example embodiment of the present disclosure, a virtual game scene displayed in a graphical user interface may be adjusted to obtain a target virtual game scene in which a target location is determined. Referring to fig. 2, determining a target position in a target virtual game scene may include the following steps S210 to S220:

Step S210, adjusting the virtual game scene displayed in the graphical user interface to obtain a target virtual game scene;

step S220, determining a target position in the target virtual game scene.

In one example embodiment of the present disclosure, after determining an initial position of a virtual game object in a virtual game scene, a virtual game scene displayed in a graphical user interface may be adjusted to obtain a target virtual game scene. Specifically, in the graphical user interface, a portion of the virtual game scene of the game may be displayed, the portion of the virtual game scene displayed in the graphical user interface may be adjusted to display other portions of the virtual game scene of the game (target virtual game scene) in the graphical user interface, and the target position is determined in the target virtual game scene.

For example, the virtual game scene displayed in the graphical user interface may be adjusted in response to the sliding touch operation, and specifically, after the sliding touch operation is received, the virtual game scene displayed in the graphical user interface may be adjusted according to the direction of the sliding touch operation.

In one example embodiment of the present disclosure, a plurality of operations may be performed on a virtual game scene displayed in a graphical user interface, and the virtual game scene displayed in the graphical user interface after the plurality of operations is determined as a target virtual game scene.

It should be noted that, the specific manner of adjusting the virtual game scene displayed in the graphical user interface to obtain the target virtual game scene is not particularly limited in the present disclosure.

Through the steps S210 to S220, the virtual game scene displayed in the graphical user interface may be adjusted to obtain a target virtual game scene, and the target position is determined in the target virtual game scene.

In one example embodiment of the present disclosure, a virtual game object may be controlled to move in a first movement manner from an initial position where it is currently located to an intermediate position, and to move in a second movement manner from the intermediate position to a target position according to a movement path. The intermediate position is located on a moving path between the initial position and the target position.

In one example embodiment of the present disclosure, after the initial position and the target position are obtained through the above steps, the movement path may be determined based on the initial position and the target position. Specifically, the movement path refers to a path along which the virtual game object moves from the initial position to the target position. In a virtual game scenario, a movement path may be determined between two locations. And has an intermediate position on the path of movement.

Further, a plurality of candidate moving paths may be determined between the initial position and the target position, and lengths of the plurality of candidate moving paths may be compared, and a candidate moving path having the shortest length may be determined as the moving path.

Specifically, the moving process of the virtual game object includes a process of moving by a first moving method and a process of moving by a second moving method, wherein the moving process is performed according to a moving path during the moving process of the virtual game object by the first moving method, and the moving process is performed according to the moving path during the moving process of the virtual game object by the second moving method.

In an example embodiment of the present disclosure, after the movement path from the initial position to the target position is obtained through the above-described steps, the virtual game object may be controlled to move from the initial position where it is currently located to the intermediate position in a first movement manner and to move from the intermediate position to the target position in a second movement manner according to the movement path. Specifically, the moving path includes an intermediate position, and the virtual game object can be controlled to move from the initial position to the intermediate position in the first moving mode, and then controlled to move from the intermediate position to the target position in the second moving mode.

The first moving mode comprises normal speed movement, and the second moving mode comprises instant movement, namely the virtual game object can be controlled to move from the initial position where the virtual game object is currently located to the middle position at the normal speed movement, and then the virtual game object is controlled to move from the middle position to the target position according to the moving path at the instant movement.

Specifically, the process of moving the virtual game object from the initial position to the target position is divided into two sections, one section is that the virtual game object moves from the initial position to the intermediate position through the normal speed, and the other section is that the virtual game object moves from the intermediate position to the target position instantaneously.

In one example embodiment of the present disclosure, the intermediate position may be a position determined when determining the movement path, or may be a position determined according to a normal speed movement.

For example, the virtual game object may be controlled to move from the initial position by a normal speed movement, for example, a period of time of the normal speed movement is set to x seconds, and when the virtual game object is controlled to move from the initial position by x seconds according to the normal speed movement, the position where the virtual game object is located may be determined as the intermediate position.

The present disclosure is not limited to a specific manner of determining the intermediate position.

Further, when the virtual game object is controlled to move at a normal speed from the initial position where it is currently located to the intermediate position, the virtual game object may be directly controlled to move at an instant from the intermediate position to the target position according to the movement path; alternatively, when the virtual game object is controlled to move at a normal speed from the initial position where it is currently located to the intermediate position, the virtual game object may be controlled to move from the intermediate position to the target position in accordance with the movement path again after waiting for the preset period of time.

According to the scheme of the embodiment, on one hand, the target position can be moved by combining normal speed movement and instant movement, so that the movement time is shortened, the play cost of a player is reduced, and the long-time movement process is prevented from leading to boring of the player; on the other hand, the moving process comprises normal speed movement and instant movement, on the basis of shortening the moving time, the normal speed movement of part of road sections is reserved, abrupt sense and uncomfortable sense caused by the whole-course instant movement are avoided, and the direction of the whole moving process can be known through the normal speed movement process.

The first moving mode comprises instantaneous movement, the second moving mode comprises normal speed movement, namely the virtual game object can be controlled to move from the initial position where the virtual game object is currently located to the middle position in an instantaneous movement mode, and then the virtual game object is controlled to move from the middle position to the target position in a normal speed movement mode according to a moving path.

Specifically, the process of moving the virtual game object from the initial position to the target position is divided into two stages, one stage is that the virtual game object is moved instantaneously from the initial position to the intermediate position, and the other stage is that the virtual game object is moved from the intermediate position to the target position at a normal speed.

Further, when the virtual game object is controlled to move from the initial position where the virtual game object is currently located to the intermediate position in the first movement manner, the virtual game object can be directly controlled to move from the intermediate position to the target position in the second movement manner according to the movement path; or, when the virtual game object is controlled to move from the initial position where the virtual game object is currently located to the intermediate position in the first movement manner, the virtual game object is controlled to move from the intermediate position to the target position in the second movement manner according to the movement path after waiting for the preset time period.

In one example embodiment of the present disclosure, the virtual game object may be controlled to move along the movement path in a second movement manner starting from the intermediate position, and the virtual game object is controlled to enter the graphical user interface after the first preset period of time, and to move to the target position along the movement path in the second movement manner. Referring to fig. 3, controlling the virtual game object to enter the graphical user interface after the first preset period of time and move to the target position along the movement path in the second movement manner may include the following steps S310 to S320:

step S310, controlling the virtual game object to start from the middle position and move along the moving path in a second moving mode;

in step S320, the virtual game object is controlled to enter the graphical user interface after the first preset period of time, and move to the target position along the movement path in the second movement manner.

In an example embodiment of the present disclosure, after the moving path is determined through the above steps, the virtual game object may be controlled to move along the moving path in the second moving manner starting from the intermediate position, and after the first preset period of time starting from the intermediate position and moving in the second moving manner, the virtual game object enters the graphical user interface, that is, the virtual game object enters a portion of the virtual game scene displayed by the current graphical user interface, and continues to move to the target position along the moving path in the second moving manner. Wherein the first moving mode comprises instantaneous movement, and the second moving mode comprises normal speed movement.

Specifically, after the virtual game object is controlled to instantaneously move from the initial position where it is currently located to the intermediate position, the virtual game object may be controlled to move from the intermediate position at a normal speed along the movement path, and after the first preset period of time, the virtual game object enters the graphical user interface and continues to move to the target position at the normal speed along the movement path.

In an example embodiment of the present disclosure, the graphical user interface is controlled to jump from a first virtual game scene corresponding to an initial position to a second virtual game scene corresponding to a target position, contact positions of a part of a moving path in the second virtual game scene and an edge of the second virtual game scene are obtained, and a position, which is a preset distance from the contact position, on the moving path is determined as an intermediate position. Wherein the intermediate position is located outside the second virtual game scene, and the virtual game object enters the second virtual game scene from the intermediate position in the first moving manner for consuming a first preset period of time.

Specifically, the first virtual game scene corresponding to the initial position may include a virtual game scene in which the virtual game object is located, and the second virtual game scene corresponding to the target position may include a virtual game scene in which the virtual game object is located. It should be noted that, the specific form of the first virtual game scene corresponding to the initial position and the second virtual game scene corresponding to the target position in the present disclosure is not limited in particular.

Specifically, the graphical user interface may jump from the first virtual game scene corresponding to the initial position to the second virtual game scene corresponding to the target position, and may include directly jumping from the first virtual game scene corresponding to the initial position to the second virtual game scene corresponding to the target position, or may include indirectly jumping from the first virtual game scene corresponding to the initial position to the second virtual game scene corresponding to the target position. Note that, the specific manner of jumping from the first virtual game scene corresponding to the initial position to the second virtual game scene corresponding to the target position is not particularly limited in the present disclosure.

Specifically, the second virtual game scene has an edge, in which a partial moving path may be displayed, and a crossing position of the partial moving path and the edge of the second virtual game scene may be determined as a contact position.

Further, when there are a plurality of intersecting positions of a part of the moving path and an edge of the second virtual game scene, the moving direction of the moving path may be acquired, and the target position may be determined among the plurality of intersecting positions based on the moving direction of the moving path.

In one example embodiment of the present disclosure, after determining the contact position, a position of a predetermined distance from the contact position on the moving path may be determined as the intermediate position. Wherein the intermediate position is outside the second virtual game scene. Specifically, a position at a preset distance from the contact position may be determined as an intermediate position on a movement path other than the second virtual game scene.

Specifically, the virtual game object needs to consume a first preset time period from the middle position to enter the second virtual game scene in the first moving manner, and when the virtual game object starts from the middle position and enters the second virtual game scene (reaches the contact position), the virtual game object needs to spend the first preset time period, that is, the virtual game object needs to consume the first preset time period to move a preset distance in the first moving manner.

For example, as shown in fig. 4, the game has a virtual game scene 400, the graphical user interface 401 can be controlled to jump from a first virtual game scene corresponding to an initial position to a second virtual game scene 402 corresponding to a target position, the initial position 405 of the virtual game object in the first virtual game scene can be obtained, the target position 403 is determined in the second virtual game scene, a moving path 406 is determined according to the initial position 405 and the target position 403, a contact position 407 between a part of the moving path 411 in the second virtual game scene 402 and an edge 409 of the second virtual game scene is obtained, a position of the moving path 406, which is a preset distance from the contact position 407, is determined as an intermediate position 404, the intermediate position 404 is outside the second virtual game scene 402, the virtual game object can be controlled to move instantaneously from the initial position 405 to the intermediate position 404, the virtual game object is controlled to move at a normal speed along the moving path, after a first preset time period (for example, 0.5 to 1 second) is required for the virtual game object to consume the first preset time period to move by the preset moving distance (for the corresponding part of the moving path 403), and the virtual game object is controlled to move along the target position 408 to the normal moving path.

Through the steps S310 to S320, the virtual game object may be controlled to move along the moving path from the intermediate position in the second moving manner, and enter the graphical user interface after the first preset period of time, and move to the target position along the moving path in the second moving manner.

In one example embodiment of the present disclosure, a movement duration of the virtual game object moving to the target position along the movement path in the first movement manner may be acquired, and when the movement duration is greater than or equal to a second preset time period, the virtual game object is controlled to move from the initial position where the virtual game object is currently located to the intermediate position in the first movement manner, and to move from the intermediate position to the target position in the second movement manner, and when the movement duration is less than the second preset time period, the virtual game object is controlled to move to the target position along the movement path in the first movement manner. Referring to fig. 5, when the movement duration is less than the second preset time period, controlling the virtual game object to move to the target position along the movement path in the first movement manner may include the following steps S510 to S530:

step S510, obtaining the moving time length of the virtual game object moving to the target position along the moving path in a first moving mode;

In an example embodiment of the present disclosure, after the initial position where the virtual game object is currently located and the target position are obtained through the above steps, a movement duration for the virtual game object to move to the target position along the movement path in the first movement manner may be determined. The intermediate position is located on a moving path between the initial position and the target position, the first moving mode comprises normal speed movement, and the second moving mode comprises instant movement. Specifically, the movement duration of the virtual game object moving to the target position along the movement path in the first movement manner may be calculated according to the movement speed of the virtual game object that may be obtained, and according to the movement speed of the virtual game object and the length of the movement path. Namely, the moving time length of the virtual game object moving to the target position along the moving path in a normal speed moving mode is acquired.

Note that, the specific manner of acquiring the movement time period for the virtual game object to move to the target position along the movement path in the first movement manner is not particularly limited in the present disclosure.
