Abstract

A method and device for controlling a drawing operation, and a gaming machine. The method comprises: when performing logic processing for a game, determining whether any node in a game screen needs to be refreshed; if a node needs to be refreshed, executing a single instance of a drawing operation when the logic processing for the game is completed, and pushing patent information to a user; if not, executing no drawing operation when the logic processing for the game is completed. When a node in a gaming screen needs to be refreshed, a single instance of a drawing operation is executed; when no node in the gaming screen needs to be refreshed, no drawing operation is executed; this reduces the refresh rate for an interface of a game for which continuous node refreshing is not required, thus increasing the execution efficiency of a gaming machine, also reducing the power consumption of the gaming machine, and safeguarding the interests of the patentee (applicant).

Description

Control method, device and game machine for drawing operation

Technical field

The invention belongs to the technical field of computers, and in particular relates to a control method, device and game machine for drawing operation.

Background technique

In the game, in order to make the picture appear more smooth, the frame rate of the game is generally set to 60 frames, that is, 60 times of logic is processed every second, and 60 times of pictures are refreshed every second, so that the human eye can not recognize the frame skipping phenomenon. This is a very power-hungry job, so when the player is playing the game, the power consumption of the game console or the electronic device in which the game is installed is very fast.

The scene of the game contains nodes, and the nodes display pictures or animations. In fact, animation is also a sequence of pictures played continuously. So in fact, the game draws pictures. When adding nodes, moving nodes, zooming nodes, displaying nodes, removing nodes, playing animations, the corresponding changes of the nodes will be reflected when the screen is refreshed, thus forming a dynamic game.

However, in the process of implementing the present invention, the inventors have found that the gaming machine provided by the prior art has at least the following problems:

When there are no nodes in the game screen that need to be updated, the drawing operation will still be performed, which not only reduces the execution efficiency of the gaming machine, but also increases the power consumption of the gaming machine.

At the same time, intellectual property is becoming more and more important in current products and services, including copyright (copyright), trademark and patent rights, all of which can bring enormous economic value to rights holders.

However, unlike copyright and trademark rights, the ownership of patent rights is more difficult to recognize and discern. For example, in a training material or a movie, the words “copyright belongs to a specific person” will be clearly notified to the user; the trademark is also distinguished from other standards by its distinctive words or figures. Represents the related products produced by the trademark owner and the trademark owner. However, patents are not. Apart from a limited number of patents such as “slide and unlock”, it is difficult for a user to see a patent and know the application/right holder of the patent.

The serious consequences of this situation are:

1. The protection of patent rights is difficult. Once a good technology comes out, it will be copied immediately;

2. The patent/applicant's effect of showing its own product features through patents is poor, because the user is also unclear about the connection between a certain technology and the patent/applicant.

In summary, in order to fully protect my patent application and maximize the value of my patent application, a solution is proposed.

technical problem

In view of this, the embodiment of the present invention provides a control method, a device, and a game machine for drawing operations, so as to solve the game machine provided by the prior art, when no node needs to be updated in the game screen, the drawing operation is performed, not only It will reduce the efficiency of the game machine's execution, and will increase the power consumption of the game machine, while protecting the interests of the patent (applicant) right holder.

If there is a node that needs to be updated, step S102 is performed, otherwise, the drawing operation is not performed after the logical processing of the game ends.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the game runs 60 times per second, and performs two steps in each running process. Step 1. Perform logical processing of the game, such as calculating the current position according to the speed of the node; 2. Perform the drawing operation, and draw according to the position, zoom, color information, etc. of the node. The information is obtained in the logic processing performed in step 1.

Specifically, if the interface of the following update node is called when the logic processing of the game is performed, it means that there is a node in the game screen that needs to be updated.

Among them, the interface of the update node is as follows:

a: add node interface (addChild)

b: remove the node interface (removeChild)

c: change the position interface of the node (setPosition)

d: change the color interface of the node (setColor)

e: change the node's zoom interface (setScale)

f: change the node's inversion interface (setSkew)

g: change the transparency interface of the node (setOpacity)

h: change the node's image interface (initWithFile)

i: Play the animation interface.

Among them, the standard of animation is 24 frames per second, and the refresh rate of the game is 60 frames per second, so the animation is not played every frame. (24 frames per second, that is, the interval of playback is 1/24 second, the interval of drawing of the interface is 1/60 second. The animation is played once every 2.5 times of drawing, so the animation is not played every frame).

In step S102, a drawing operation is performed after the logical processing of the game ends, while the patent information is pushed to the user.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when performing logic processing of the game, if it is determined that there is a node in the game screen that needs to be updated, a drawing operation is performed after the logic processing of the game ends, otherwise the drawing operation is not performed after the logic processing of the game ends. .

Specifically, a Boolean variable needUpdate may be defined in advance, and the value of the Boolean variable needUpdate is set to a first Boolean value. Among them, the Boolean variable needUpdate is defined in the global region, so that the defined Boolean variable needUpdate is a global Boolean variable, and the Boolean variable needUpdate can be used anywhere in the program.

When the logic processing of the game is performed, when it is determined that there is a node in the game screen that needs to be updated, the value of the Boolean variable needUpdate may be updated to a second Boolean value; otherwise, the value of the Boolean variable needUpdate is still the first Boolean value.

Wherein, when the first boolean value is false, the second boolean value is true; when the first boolean value is true, the second boolean value is false.

After the logic processing of the game is finished, it can be determined whether the value of the Boolean variable is the second Boolean value. If the value of the Boolean variable is the second Boolean value, a drawing operation is performed, and the value of the set Boolean variable needUpdate is returned to the first value. Boolean value; otherwise no drawing operation is performed.
